Too Late to Mend.

An actor without funds managed in some
way to get second class ticket on a
line Of steamships running between Sc
attic and San Francisco. The voyage con-
sumed the better part of three days, and
In view of the fact that his finances were
at low ebb, he solved the question in this
way: The first day out he slept all day
to keep from eating, and remained up all
night to keep from sleeping. The second
day he took physical culture exercises.
On the third day he could not stand the
strain any longer, and went down in the
dining room and ordered the best meal on
board the boat. While eating this meal
he could see in his minds eye picture
of a cell in the bastlle in San Francisco.
After finishing his meal he said to the
waiter, How much do l owe your
Nothing replied the waiter" your
meals are included in your ticket"

GAMBLERS MAY BE In
FOR SERIOUS TROUBLE

The long session of the grand
jury at this term of circuit court has
caused a great many people to won
der what the body is investigating.
No report has been made since last
Saturday, though the jury has been
in session every Gay. A large num-
Der of witnesses in all stations of
life have been examined. However,
liz Is rumored that gamblers are get
ting the hot end of IL and quite a
number of indictments will be
brought in on this charge. II is said
the inquisition grew out Of a dispute
over a check for gambling debt on
which payment was stopped.
The jury probably will adjourn to-
morrow but not until after bench
warrants are issued AID arrests
made will the nature OF all indict-
ments be made known.

BELIEVED TO Be
TRAPPED BY FIRE

Pittsburg. Dec. 19.-Four hundred
men were entombed at 11.3O today
at the Danr mine, near Connellsville,
The mine is on fire and It is believed
all are dead.
The Darr mines Of the Pittsburg
Coal company are at Jacobs creek,
eighteen miles west. OF the 400 fully
fCO are Americans. and the rest
principally Hungarians. An explo-
sion shook this vicinity Of the mine
at 1880. shortly after. smoke be-
gan to pour from the mine. The
mouth OF the mine was wrecked.
This with the smoke and fire which
was discovered raging inside, pro
vented any attempts at rescue up to
1 o'clock.
On account of the condition OF
the mine II Is impossible to say If
AN are killed. Il is thought there is
not much chance for the men in

FARMERS WANT LINE
ON THE EAST SIDE

Farmers owning property on the
east side of the Illinois Central rail-
road between Paducah and Mayfield
have made the promoters of the cleo
trio line a proposition to donate a
right of way through their property
and a bonus of one dollar per acre on
each piece of property crossed.
This is one of the most liberal
propositions ever made for such a
line" remarked a member of the
company today. "A survey will be
made for a route on both the east
and west sides of the railroad before
a definite decision is made. The linz
will positively be built and construc-
ton work viii probably begin in the
early spring. The financial strin-
gency will have no effect whatever
upon the plans of the company, as
funds have already been secured
from a company which makes a spe-
cialty of interurban securities"

Miss Beatrice Scarborough and Miss
Lucille Grogan, two OF the most
prominent school teachers of Gallo
way county, probably will be the
only entries in the race for county

Miss Scarborough made the race
for the Office at the last Democratic
primary against l.. A. l.. Langston,
who stood for re election, and was
beaten by a narrow margin after one
OF the hottest campaigns in the his
tory of the county. Miss Scarborough
took the stump against her oppon-
ent and proved herself a strong de-
batter. Her defeat was attributed
to factional differences in the coun-
ty and the fact that she entered the
race Just a few weeks before the cleo
ton Miss Scarborough will be a
most formidable candidate. Miss
Grogan will also develop a strong
following. as she is popular In every
district in which she has taught
school. She is at present secretary

Plan Business Men to Guaranty
Safety of Tobacco Stored Here
To Big Insurance Companies.
People in Other Sections, Who
Do Not Understand Local
Conditions, DO City Unjust
ice.

Plans, looking to the organization
of business men to guarantee safety
of tobacco stored here to eastern in
surance companies, are on foot, and
local insurance men say that such an
organization would concentrate near
ly all the tobacco in the Black Patch
in Paducah. AS it is, much is being
rushed from buying points to Louis
Vile, instead of coming here.
AS one insurance man expressed
it: "Those big insurance men in the
east look at a map of Kentucky, when
they read about the night riders and
barn burning, and they see that Pa
ducah is just about a finger length
from Hopkinsville. II looks close
enough to them for Paducah to catch
fire from a Hopkinsville warehouse.
1t is all very well to make statements
about how quiet things are here.
They are. and there is no danger.
Even local warehousemen anticipate
no trouble here, but that doesn't re
assure the people whose money Is
rislSed and who can't be expected to
understand local conditions.
Warehouses are guarded here.
Warehousemen did that as much t.
relieve the anxiety of their principals
abroad and in distant cities, as for
any other reason. Naturally they are
panicky about the situation. Wages,
transfer profits and insurance COM
missions, amounting to thousands Of
dollars. are lost when tobacco is con-
Icentrated elsewhere.
"Paducah is the largest city in
western Kentucky and the safest. If
local business men would guarantee
the safety of tobacco from raids and
maintain a perfect system of guards,
not very expensive. insurance people
would quickly discriminate in favor
of Paducah. and the tobacco compa-
MES, realizing that Paducah was
safer than any other city out this
way, would concentrate their stock
here. This would be the big market
Tobacco would be brought here from
great distances to be sold and the
cash paid over right in this city, with
the best stores in western Kentucky
where the planters could spend their
money. The advantage gained by the
city at this time. might well be main
tained through succeeding years.
at is not a question of safety that
|confronts Paducah so much as the
question of taking advantage of a
great opportunity"

tails to suit themselves. It was also
stated that the depth Of the channel
IN the Ohio will not permit the gun
boat to ascend to Paducah.
Mayor Yeiser prefers to have the
silver service presented at Cairo, as
the nearest point to this city, so that
as large delegation as possible may
attend from this city. As there
seems to be nothing to prevent &C

bic that soon after first of January

THEATER TICKETS
AND CIGARETTES

Springfield, ILL.,, Dec. 19.-The SUI
preme court in decision invalidated
the so-called theater ticket scalping
law. The court says the legislatures
power TO provide tax or license
upon theaters cannot be questioned
but the sale of tickets at an advance
over the price printed on them is not
injurious to the health. morals, safe
ty or general comfort Of the public.
The court in another case holds the
legislatures act regulating the sale
of cigarettes does not apply to Gig
arettes containing only pure tobacco.
