We have just been thinking about
present day hobbies" and they create
within us a desire for the return OF
the good old Gays of cur fore fathers.
DAYS when calloused hands warmly
clasped each other and kid gloves
were unknown: days when at even
tide the family gathers at the old
place and enjoyed the pleasures OF
home. How different now. Take
the average family to day and the
servant girl is usually the only one
at home after the evening meal.
Father has gone to the lodge, the
mother to her club, Jane to the
muaic circle, Kate to the card party,
Robert has gone down town for q
game of billiards, Peter to the reading
room.
Verify, we live in a progressive age.

on the boards action, one member

should bend to the will Of a few in

as they can be kept, It is not right

BOLD BANK RODBER
ATTACKS CASHIER
Beats Him Insensible With
Hatchet But is Fooled
Former Marshal of Dycusburg At
tempts to Loot Vault OF Bank
of Dycusburg.
CAPTURED HIDING IN FIELD

Dycusburg. KY, Jan. ga bold,
but unsuccessful attempt to rob the
Bank of Dycusburg was made yes
terday at the close of banking hours,
by former Marshal ]. B. Gregory.
While Cashier II. Gregory was in
the safe, adjusting the time lock and
unconscious of any presence, the
cashier was suddenly attacked from
the rear with a Ratchet, about 5
O'Clock, and seriously wounded. The
plucky cashier turned on his assail-
ant but another blow knocked him
to the floor insensible. Two men
found him in this condition and tneir
unexpected entrance frightened the
robber. They gave chase, succeeded
in capturing the would-be robber a
short time after.
]. B. Gregory, formerly marshal
at Dycusburg, came to town yester-
day from the county where he lives.
Towards o'clock ne went to the
bank. Cashier H. Gregory was stoop-
ing over the safe setting the time
lock. No one else was in the little
building. With appraised Ratchet the
ex-marshal attacked the unsuspect-
Ing cashier. The natchet struck his
skull and Gregory staggered, nearly
falling. Blow after blow was rained
on the unfortunate bankers head,
seven distinct wounds being infiet-
ed. The cashier turned and began to
desperately fight. He grappled with
his assailant and succeeded in nearly
overpowering him. Gregory. the CASH
Ter, fell to the floor, overcome by
weakness, and when pedestrians
came in, hearing the cries they
found him lying in a pool of blood.
Instantly a posse was formed and
a search instituted. A hatiess man
had been seen making for the tim
Der, and the posse followed in that
direction. The ex-marsnal was found
in field several miles from town ly-
ing close against a fence. He had
heard the oncoming posse and, ex-
hausted from his rapid flight, sought
to outwit them by hiding.
In town it was learned that ex-
Marshal Gregory mad engaged a
horse and buggy to be ready at a
moments call, indicating robbery as
his motive in entering the bank and
attacking Cashier Gregory, who is
no kin to him. Today he was taken
to Marion, the county seat, to be
lodged in Jail. Cashier Gregory's
plucky fight saved the bank from
robbery. He will recover from the
wounds.

OVER HUNDRED SIGNED PAPER.

Residents on Jackson, Tennessee
and Ohio streets and in the south
western portion of Paducah general
lily, who have to pass over the fill
leading from Jackson street to Punk
ett's hill, are up in arms today. Re
pressed feeling broke out this morn

the council in totally ignoring a pc
tition signed by IT'S residents, many
of them taxpayers, to have the fill
graveled and made passable.
Councilman Alonzo Crandell took
our petition before the council" one
declered, "He offered a motion to
consider it, but met with no second.
The council ignored the matter entire
ly, and We feel slighted. Candidates
come through the railroad shops

keepers still in the city will follow
the example and take up their resi-
dence in their wards. Cabs continue
to visit houses in the district watched
at night, more frequently than the

Speaking OF the attitude of the
city officials, one member said: ''We
have gotten prompt action every
time we have approached the mayor,
and Judge Cross has shown every dis
position to give us a square deal.
Mayor Yeiser told us he would ask
Judge Cross to look into the legal
phases of our organization and he
has done so and notified us two weeks
ago that Judge Cross was ready to
give his opinions. We ought not to

THIS Is PAYDAY
BUT MONEY is SHY
Aldermen Have Not Allowed
Payroll of Employees
It May BE That Opinion of City So
licitor Campbell Will End
Deadlock.
THE ELIGIBILITY OF ALDERMAN

This is seml-monthly. payday for
the police and firemen and several
other city employees, but the city
treasurer's Office, usually the scene
of great activity on such occasions, is
quiet and City Treasurer Dorian is
having a peaceful time.
The payroll has not been allowed,
and 1t cannot be allowed until the
board of aldermen is olganized by
electing a president. Everything de-
ponds on the opinion of City Solicit
or James Campbell, Jr., ON the ell
gibility of Alderman Smith to vote
before the board is organized and his
credentials passed on. BY vote, of
four to three last night It was set
tied that no more ballots for presi-
dent shall be cast until Alderman
Smiths qualifications are settled.
City Clerk Henry Bailey, while
disclaiming any responsibility in the
matter, says ne will abide by the de-
cision of the city solicitor, and If
the latter says Alderman Smith may
not vote Mr.. Bailey will not call his
name.
81 am calling the board to order
and calling the roll. That is all do"
insists Mr. Bailey. 81 am only clerk,
not presiding officer in the full sense
of the woid. The mayor appointed
Alderman Smith and my calling the
roll, including mis- name, didn't
amount to a determination of the
question of his eligibility. I will not
pass upon such questions.
81 shall not have any more all
night sessions. If they do not agree
in a reasonable time tonight, shall
recess until morning. | shall not en-
terrain motion to adjourn to the
call of the mayor or on petition of
majority. because the board is not
organized"
The situation is interesting, and
the question of Alderman Smiths eli
gibility so close, that the city solic-
itor did not care to pass on it last
night He Is studying the matter. II
he decides Alderman Smith may not
vote until the board is organized and
his credentials accepted, that will
dispose of the deadlock in short or
der.
Last night the three Democrats
attempted to adjourn, because the
Republicans were five minutes late.
They met the Republicans at the
door and declared they had "adjourn
ed" AS there was not quorum they
could not Rave convened. and not
having convened, they could not adj
journ. When It was made plain to
them that they were not adjourning,
but just walking away from the
meeting, they returned.
