CITIZENS MEET
AT CITY HALL
MONDAY NIGHT
Ticket Composed Of Repre-
sentative Men and Women
Will be Named.-.Endorse.
ment Of Both Parties Will
be Asked.

To the Friends of the Paducah
Schools:
Without in any degree wishing or
intending to cast reflections upon any
political party in Paducah we wish TO
give endorsement to sentiment that
is crystalizing in our fair city for the
election of a non-partisan board to
administer our schools. We firmly
believe our school trustees should be
chosen from among the best men in
the city irrespective of party affiha-
tons. We therefore issue a call for
the citizens to assemble In mass con-
vention at the city hall Monday night
to adopt ways and means of selecting
such ticket. The meeting will be
called at 1880 and every man and
woman in the city will be made well
come.

The annual address OF the presi-

was the feature OF the evening Mrs.
Beauchamp was especially fine and
took up every question OF The liquor

Nearly al OF the candidates had their
records reviewed and considered
whether favorable TO prohibition or
not. Especially vigorous was Mrs.
Beauohamp on the statement OF the
liquor people that prohibition does
not prohibit This Mrs Beauchamp
discussed thoroughly and quoted au-
thoiity that she dared anyone TO dis
pute.
One interesting feature OF the adj

The wounds on Wilson's head could
have been caused by being knocked
in the head and then pitched out of
the window with the intention of con-
cealing the crime The death caused
much speculation this morning. His
neck was not broken by the fall, but
the skull near the eye was found
crushed and bruised. His nose is
broken, which might have been done
by blow, but the skin is scraped off
similar to striking on his head and
sliding along the hard ground. A
shed covers part of the back yard of
the saloon, but from the second story
at the door there is nothing to pre-
vent a clear fall to the ground with
the exception of two electric wires
that make an angle with the build
ing. After a comparative close ex-
animation Coroner Frank Eaker this
morning declared that he believed
Wilson'S death was accidental.
When his clothes were searched he
had cheap wooden pipe, one nickel,
a common pocket knife, besides a
small plug of tobacco.

Bryan in wisconsin.

GAINESVILLE, Wis. Sept 26.--Bryan
is covering the territory where TAFT
preceded him. He made several car
end speeches today, in which he sar-
castica.ly ridiculed Taft's efforts to
dignity the hunt for votes" He
said Republican concession prove that
the Democratic position since 1896
has been correct. Bryan Is preparing
his reply TO Roosevelt. He uses vitri-
Ollie language and accuses the presi-
dent of deliberate misrepresenta-
ton" aud prostitution OF his high
office to make votes for his personally
chosen successor"

This morning at ) o'clock Bar
tender Tyler White and John Tollison
Opened the saloon. When the back
door was thrown open Wilson's body
vas seen on the ground and after an
examination he was found dead. Cor
Oner Eaker was called and he had his
body moved to the undertaking estab
ishment of Mattil, Efinger & Roth.
Wilson was fully dressed when found.
All of his wounds were on the face
and head. with the exception of a
minor bruise on the hips. The left
side of his face is bruised and his
'kull crushed. His nose is broken,
While his left eye is bruised.
Wilson is well known by Mr.. Elrod
and is stone cutter by trade. He
passes through Paducah several times
Zach year. and when drinking always
entrusted his money to the safe keep
ng of Mr.. Elrod. He was a musician
al instrument in his luggage. The
irst seen of him in Paducah this
week was Wednesday, when he went
o the sleeping rooms above the
saloon and retired. He was about the
city yesterday and drinking, and sew
eral persons saw him with his roll of
money. IL was his intention to re-
turn home last night on the o'clock
train for the south. He was drink
ing and carrying a violin, case for a
guitar and package of whisky.
Patrolman johnson placed him on the
street car for the station. He reached
the station and left his baggage, but
wandered from the station and at
train time was left.
Leaving his baggage he returned to
the business district aud at the last
accounts was seen drinking. Engi-
neer Roy Christman saw him near IL
O'Clock in restaurant and he was
raising disturbance. SO far no
trace of his movements have been
found since midnight until 8 O'Clock
this morning. when his body was
found. He gave the sac to Mr.. Elrod
after he returned from the railroad
station aud complained Of missing
the train.
Wilson is about So years old and
about feet 10 inches in height.
He will weigh about 100 pounds. He
had a thin mustache and wore a
cheap gray suit. He had a plain
shirt on with a rubber collar and a
plain tie. Lite is known about his
past life. but his wife is dead and 1t
is understood that he has one son liv-
ling in Galloway county. Coroner
Eaker telephoned to Hardin this
morning and no one knew Wilson or
knew of any relatives In or near
Hardin.
Sleeping above the saloon were sew
eral roomers. but they state that no
noise was heard during the night.
Coroner Eaker called the inquest for
2 o'clock this afternoon.

EARL PALMER.
II. r. LINDSEY.

The Sun is glad indeed to give
space to the above call and heartily
endorses It.
Probably no question has agitated
the people of Paducah more in years
than the condition of the schools.
Some of the best minds in the city
are wrestling with the proposition
that confronts the board. trying TO
find some way out of its difficulties
for It, There is no doubt that IL
something is not done to relieve the
situation the schools will be com
PEELED to close down the first OF Jan
uary.
This would be deplorable. as every
one, who has the interests of the city.
its citizens and the children at heart.
will admit, and it, therefore. behooves
us all to study the question in an
effort to do something.
The Sun esteems the school system
of Paducah as high as 1t does any
branch of the local government, or
any feature of the city. and is for
anything that offers a solution of the
problem now before us. For years IL
has agitated the removal of the
school board from politlcs-the selec-
tion of its members irrespective of
the political faith of the individuals.
Waving the question of whether a
bond issue is advisable, The Sun en-
dorses the call of the gentlemen sign
ing the card above for a mass meet
ing of the citizens to be held at the
city hall Monday night at 1880 to
select men of the highest tried ability
from the city at large as a Citizens
ticket for school trustees.
The Republicans are to nominate
candidates for the city offices next
week. Take these nominations to the
convention and ask the Republican
party to waive nominations for the
school board and endorse the citizens
ticket. Then ask the nominees of the
Democrats TO stand aside. We don't
doubt for moment that they will
not consent to do so. and in this way
we can get the best brains in the city
to take our schools in hand and give
us what we need more than any one
thing just nova good school sys-

There are some absolutely ridicu-
lous features in the government of
cities in this country, and none is
more so than that in vogue in the
cities of Kentucky by which members
of the school boards are selected.
Under the present order of things,
with all due respect to all the gentle
men who have served on the local
board, for there have been some very
good men to give their time to Il,
we hae had absurdly untitled men
upon whom the responsibilities of the
school system have fallen. The
powers that be- who select the diff
ferent candidates for city Offices, Sc
lect their best men for the offices they
consider higher, but which. In fact
are not--the aldermanic boards-and
overlook probably the most important
of all, the school board.
This will be done for years TO come
unless the people rule-uniess they
take the matter in their own hands.
and the meeting Monday night will
be the first step toward that end.
