IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.

The fiscal court meets next Tues
day, and it has number of very i'm
portant matters to consider. if
1t will, one thing, consider the
question of submitting to a vote this
fall the proposition of subscribing
to college for Paducah and issuing
bonds, for the contribution. The
legislature passed an act authorizing
counties to subscribe to college funds
but the members of the court are
not sure whether it is constitutional
or not, and have asked County Attor-
ney Barkley for an opinion on the
question, and he is now engaged in
looking up the law.
The court has also asked him 10
ascertain II it can Increase the SAL
AIRY of the circuit judge during an
incumbent's term of office. A meas
ure authorizing this was also passed
by the legislature, and II the increase
can be made during an incumbent's
eNAah SIthAA ohatt ittt0 odhhis
will most probably be raised.
The court will also fix the tax rate.
for the year IL has found that the
rate can be reduced five cents, and
probably ten cents, and some of the
members, as well as Judge Light
foot, are in favor of doing so, while
other members and a number of cit
liens are in favor of leaving the rate
as il is and appropriating the amount
the rate could be lowered to the road
fund so more gravel roads can be
built.
AT the last meeting of the Com
mercial club a resolution asking the
court to do that was passed. There
seems to be a dominating sentiment,
however, to make a reduction, and
leave the road Appropriation as It
was last year. The appropriation
then was $22 600. and in building
new roads the property owners alons
the roads improved bear half of the
expense. 1t requires about s10 900
year to keep up the roads so this
will leave s12 600 for the countys
part toward building new roads, and
add to the s12 900 from the prop
erty owners and the supervisor will
have $4,000 for new roads.

REGARDED FAVORABLY.

A number of the members of the
council board look with favor on
the Commercial clubs request that
the city contribute $500 a year to
the clubs work, but they don't agree
on the form of the contribution. The
matter will be brought before the
council by the finance committee
Monday night for action.
The members of the club. and
many citizens who are not members,
agree that the city should do some
thing in the way of assisting the
club, and the probabilities are that
the matter will be favorably consid-
cred. -

No Credit For Reinsurance.

Little Rock, Jan. 7.-State Auditor A. E.

 Dr. Moore stated some time ago that he would probably take this stand and after making d thorough study of the situation he announced yesterday that he would require this of the insur- ance companies.

The two boys, Tom Johnson and Will Broom, who robbed the Famous dry goods store Thurs day night and were later appre- hended and arrested by the po- lice and then sent to jail to await a disposition of their cases in the circuit court, escaped from the county jail Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock by digging a hole in the wall of the building at the south end and from which they climbed out and made good their escape.

They took advantage of the opportunity and went to work in an effort to escape. Their work was crowned with success and they are now enjoy ing the liberty they so earnestly and consistently worked for by digging a hole through the mas sive brick wall with their hands.

license in Perry County.

Perryville, Jan. 6. 6.-Only four saloon licenses have been issued by County Judge Stone, they be- ing to J. s. Smith, J. V. Ryan and F. G. and N. c. Harris (two). They are all, but one, for the operation of saloons in the coun- try, Ledwidge being the only town so far to have a saloon. Each license is granted on con- dition that no spirits be sold on Sunday and that no one be al- lowed in the saloons on that day, and that no gaming be permitted in or about the saloon.
 The petition of the prohibition ists at Casa was not acted upon, as there was to be a contest, and Judge Stone did not have time to hear the case until after the primaries, there being about 100 witnesses in the case.
 The lid is on at Casa and there will be no saloons there this year unless the saloon men overcome the petition of the prohibition iSts
