A good deal of interest was created in financial circles by Senator Ald- rich's currency bill, which provides that the secretary of the treasury may issue gold certificates in denomina- tions of less than $1O when the gold reserve falls below $1O0 100000, says Banker Clews. Also to issue United States notes of small denominations whenever silver certificates of that class are insufficient to meet the pub lie demand. Another provision was the removal of the injunction against depositing in the banks receipts from customs revenue; and still another, that bank circulation may be retired to the amount of $9,OOO,oOO per month instead of $3,OOO,0OO. None of these provisions will effect at the present time any important relief in the mon- ey market or the credit situation, al- though the increase in supply of small notes may be helpful in retail tran SactiOn.

Mrs. Teller of Annville Dead From
 Explosion-Children Hurt.
 LEBANON, Pa, Feb. 16.-Mrs. Zel- Ter. the wife of John Teller of Ann vile, near here, was instantly killed by an explosion of dynamite at her home, and their two chlldren-Lydia, aged thirteen years, and Mary, aged i've years-were so badly burned and lacerated that there is little hope of their recovery. The house was badly wrecked.
 Keller placed three sticks of dyna- mite in the stove to thaw and went to work, neglecting to tell his wife that the dynamite was in the oven.
 What occurred after Zeller's depar- ture will probably never be known, as neither child has regained conscious ness.
 The explosion must have been ter rife, as the flesh was torn from Mrs. Zeller's body in several places, and two great holes were blown in her side and back. ..

A NEW PERIL,

What Is the issue in the local cam

Once The Sun was moved to say, II

with property interests of his own
and other citizens OF Paducah at
heart; and a politician, representing
a faction of political spoilsmen. The
of Paducah to choose which they
wanted in the city hall. The Sun
declared that James p. Smith is the
heaviest single taxpayer in the city,
that all his earnings are invested in
real estate of the better class; that
he was born and reared in Paducah,
trained in her commercial school and
acquainted with the demands OF her
property interests. He represents. as
few men represent. the home owners.
the wage earners and the business
men of this city. II training and Ell.
vironment will control mans
actions in office, James P. Smiths
every official act will be dictated by
natural inclination to do what is
best for the progress and develop
ment of Paducah, and guided by a
comprehensive knowledge of all sub
jects pertaining to the city's welfare,
with a sympathetic grasp of the situa-
ton as the taxpayer views it.
His interests are a guaranty of
consideration for the welfare of the
city. He refused the nomination
once, because he feared those inter-
ests might suffer by neglect. So,
evidently 1t is not an ardent desire
for a political career that induced
him finally to accept the nomination.
He says he will seek no further
political preferment; will not conduct
his Office in the interest of the pre-
ferment or any one else, and will
recognize no party lines in the ap-
pointments he may make.
Can his opponent say he is not in
tending to seek further political pre-
ferment or will not make political
appointments? Can Mr.. Harrison hon
estly declare that he is not under
obligation to those politicians, who
aided him in his canvass at the pri-
mary against another faction, and
who are his intimates and advisers
in this campaign?
If Mr.. Harrison is elected, he can
have no conception of the Office of
mayor aside from its political posi-
bilities; for he is a politician, and has
no property interests in Paducah and
no experience or knowledge that
would qualify him to represent that
element OF citizenship that foots the
bills.
