"GET NEW RAILROAD"
HEARD EVERYWHERE
Commercial Club Expected to Take Up
Proposition For a New Road at Once.

ducah instead of Murray is a move
ment along the right lines, and your
articles have set forth what a great
thing 1t would be for Paducah, in a
splendid manner. Tap the six roads
now at Cairo, as you would by the
l.. & y. extension from here there,
and the two others at Thebes, and
you will give us the facilities we
need so badly.
eve must do as Cairo has done.
The roads down there gave her the
goby, as the |. c. will do with its
cut off at Ghlbertsville, and a num-
ber of her citizens got together and
organized the company that has Sc
cured the best terminals in that city,
and acquired the rights of way up 20
Thebes. which connects her with two
other roads. When she had done
this she offered these things to the
l.. & y. and they eagerly took ad-
vantage of them. Cairo has just
given these people the right to con-
struct sixteen tracks on Walnut
street, one OF her principal residence
streets. and eight on another. She
saw how II hurt her to have all the
through trains running via Cairo
Junction instead of coming into the
city, and she also saw the great adj
vantage It would be to have just one
more road into the city and the
events trauspring down there have
justified her Judgment, We must 30
and do likewise"
Courcllmen sounded on the prop
osition have agreed with Mayor Yei-
ser that the city officials viii do all
they can to aid in getting a new road
into the city. and one councilman
said today: IL wish the proposition
was before us right now"

THE WEEKS NEWS IN
THE COMMERCIAL WORLD

Bank clearings this week s64O,719.
Same week last year $50. 613,050
Decrease .... ......... 1891
The bad weather of the past week
has hurt business in all wholesale
lines. 1t has been the worst week of
the year. Retail trade, of course,
has suffered a great deal, and the
merchants are hoping for better
weather next week. Most of the
spring openings are on the calendar
for next week, which is causing the
solicitude.
Building was also brought to a
standstill by the inclement weather.
The architects report much building
planned for this year, and as soon as
good weather opens up the building
trades should be busy.
The Commercial club committee
which was appointed to raise 81 800
to purchase site for the Aycock
hosiery mills, which concern is plan
ming to double its output, has Sc
cured all the money and Mr.. Aycock
will start on enlarging the plant at
an early date. He expects to be en-
ploying seventy-fve hands in a few
months, and have a building which
will cost $1,000.

BUYS CHURCH I'd START SALOON
Pittsburg Dealer Adopts Novel Plan
10 Head on Protests.

Pittsburg, March 24.-John Cline,
1911 Butler street, applied for a Ii
cense to sell liquor at that address
last year, but the permit was refused
because a church was located in the
same square and its members object
ed. Today Cline was back in court
with another application, and there
were no church people present to pro-
test. Judge McClung thought this
strange, and questioned Cline. He
found that Cline had solved that pro-
blem by buying the church property
and compelling the congregation to
move. The court has his application
under advisement.

New York, March 24.-Trade re-
ports are still rather mixed in charac-
ter, business feels the effects of con-
tinued winter weather, heavy snow
falls and freezing temperatures
which have hurt early fruits and
truck interests, retarded retail trade
and affected jobbing sales and ship
ments. Building has been interrupted
but this Is only temporary and the
winter wheat crop has been put be-
yond harm by the heaviest snow fall
in years at this period. Uncertainty
as to the coal strike induces hesi-
fancy in some lines of industry, but
has immensely stimulated the coal
and coke trade.
Demand for money active, hence
rates are firm and promise to contin-
ne so well into the balance of the
year. Railway earnings are really
magnificent, ratio of gross receipts
carried over to net having never be-
fore been equalled. Additional inter-
esting features are numerous reports
of wage advances made in several in
dustrial lines, and growth of feeling
that the great coal strike will not oc-
cur. strengthening of prices OF lead
ing staples.

OTHER LATE SCHOOL NOTES.

Although it is over two and a
half months until the public schools
will close, the school authorities are
preparing for the annual commence
ment and expect to make il one OF
the most satisfactory in the history
of the schools It will be a depart
ure from the old stereotyped style of
commencements which have proven
bore instead of entertainment to
those who patronize them. The CON-
mencement this year will be up-to-
date and II present plans are carried
out lecture by some national cele-
brity will be a feature of 1t.
81 am looking for a speaker who
has done something; who win prove
a valuable number ON any program.
and we intend to have such man
here to speak at the commence
ment," Supt Lieb stated this morn
ing. arrangements are already
being made for the annual COM
mencement and we estimate that
there will be IS out of the 20 in the
graduating class to get through. We
will have valedictorian and saluta-
torian and these with one or two
choruses and music by the high
school orchestra, will be the only
feature distinctly local. The main
feature will be the address and wa
expect to get some celebrity.
"Last year no regular commence
ment was hel6 owing to the installa-
tioh Of the twelfth grade. the pupils
from the eleventh going into the
twelfth grade to finish. The class
this year will be smaller than 1t has
been on account of the methods of
work, it requiring a great deal mores
to get through under the present
system of grading than formerly. A
pupil has to study harder and show
that he is capable Under the pres
ent system of grading we have 32
units or marks of credit for the en-
tire High school term. There are
four studies taken each half year
making eight for the year and thirty
two for the four year term. If per-
son falls down in one credit during
the first year and does not make 1t
up during the other four years he
will be one credit behind. He has
to make 32 to graduate and there
are always some who fall down In
one of the four years, SO the grad
uating class is not as large as it
used to be. We have attained ex-
cellent results"
One very remarkable result of the
new methods Is the interest taken
by pupils in their work. Formerly
pupils were content to get through
any way with any kind of per cent.
but the competition in the work Is
so great that every one seems to be
striving to do his or her best and
excellent grades and an untiring in
terest is manifested.
The attendance in the school the
past two days, particularly yester-
, day has fallen off great deal. The
inclement weather cut the attend
ance at all the schools down yester-
day but two sessions were held
The next feature entertainment
to be given by the High school Will
be the appearance of Miss Mannheim
er, of the School of Dramatic Art OF
Cincinnati, at the High school audi
torium in lecture on the afternoon
of Auril 4th. Miss Mannheimer will
lecture at the Temple the same night.

ODESSA, June 11.-Since the commence
ment OF the repatriation of the troops
which took part in the war with Japan
$4,000 men, including the Russian prison.
ers from Japan, have been landed here and
distributed throughout the interior of the
country. The most stringent precautions
were observed during the whole period in
order to prevent the slightest intercourse
between the returning troops and the
townspeople in consequence of fears of
mutinous demonstrations as il was unde-
niable that the troops coming home were
largely disaffeeted. Special trains awaited
each troopship, Cossack guards cordoned
the landing stage, the soldiers were
marched direct from the ship to the train
and were dispatched to their destinations
with the utmost expedition and without the
chance of fraternization with the Odessans
The spirit of disaffection was even more
noticeable among the officers than In the
men. The former frankly expressed the
opinion that II parliament can hold It's own
until the spring 1t will be able to count on
the army to support its demands
