so too with the brick yards. The

near the Chautauqua grounds at 6
O'Clock Saturday night, and seven
persons were injured. The collision
is supposed to have been caused by
failure of the brakes on the street

almost a miracle that all of the occu-
pants were not killed.

killing Millionaire William NJ. Rice,

to escape execution. He has always
claimed that Rice died from natural

efforts of his to poison him, was the
result of embalming To disapprove
or prove Patrick's claims two scien-

THE $1,000 ASKED FOR
BY THE COMMERCIAL CLUB

BIZ lftE OOM MEHOiAl< ChOo
The finance committee has turned
down the Commercial clubs request
for a donation for the club work of
$1.500 for this year, and the matter
will come before the full board to-
night for action. ..I
The council should, by all means,
give the club the money. The council
has made an excellent record during
its short term of office-has indulg-
ed in no extrayagancies of any sort,
and is considering everything care
fully before taking any action. 1t
has had a remarkable number of de-
needed Improvements in many OF the
city departments, but by wise reduc-
tions and curtailment in many of the
appropriations, will be able to take
care of everything that it should
this year. Ii is not surprising that 1t
should hesitate before making any
appropriations asked for anything
That's right. o.
But. the appropriation the Com
mercial club has asked for would be
money wisely spent. In this day of
keen commercial competition, the
competition among cities is just as
sharp and a city has to be as well
equipped with an organization with
energy, enthusiasm and means at its
command to keep IL up with the van
OF other cities, as any commercial
organization and every citizen in the
city is benefited by its work, and
should be willing contributor.
The club is engaged on some very
big propositions and has every pros
pect of securing them for Paducah
and McCracken county, and it will
require good deal of money to con-
summate the arrangements for them
But, the money will be well invested
and will return many fold II the
surface indications are not deceiving
in great measure.
The council may think the city
won't have the money to spare. In
such an event, eliminate some other
expense. There are but few things
it contemplates doing that will prove
as profitable as this contribution to
the Commercial club.
AS an illustration take one plan
of~the club:l 1t is now making ar
rangements TO bring 500 families
from the vicinity of Vienna. Austria,
to settle in this county. These peo-
pie are not the thriftless, indolent
class that go to make up a big pro-
portion of the immigrants to this
country, but every one of them has
the money and the inclination Z,
purchase property and the scheme
embodies that one feature. Not only
that. they are experienced in stock
raising, truck farming and farming
on a big scale Can the location oil
500 such families. which means
probably 1900 people be easily reck-
ned? Hardly. Caa the city coun-

The state racing association ere
ated by the late legislature to reg
ulate racing in this commonwealth
can do the race track and lovers OF
the sport good and harm also. Much
depends on the character of the men
who shall i--compose4 the commission
and upon their construction OF the
law under which they are made a
controlling body. The people who
recall the work of similar commits
sion which existed for several years
in Missouri will hold great doubts
as to the work of the racing COM
mission in this state until it has
proven It is fully trustworthy.

CAR MAY REFUSE
Most of tho Requests Made by the
IDuma-Civii Strife Might
Follow.

ST. Petersburg, May 23.-The next
few days in Russia will be fraught
with grave consequences. The atti-
tude Of the czar towards the duma is
emphasized by his statement that he
cannot receive the reply to the ad-
dress from the throne from President
Meromtzeff in person but that it must
be handed to him through the court
chamberlain, and this is believed to
indicate that he will answer it in no
unmistakable terms and will reject
wost, If not all, of the requests made
by 1t.
Whether or not he will go to the
extent of dissolving the duma is a
question that no one can answer, but
there is no doubt that the fntellectuals
who are members of the body expect
such action.
If the duma is dissolveu civic strife
can hardly be averted and the upris-
ing will be of character that may
necessitate outside interference 1t is
known that General Trepoff has ad-
vised the premier that he can put down
any uprising that may come with the
troops who are known to be loyal
and the authorities place a great deal
OF reliance in his opinion.
