The dog days Of summer have had
their effect on the business, although
last Tuesday was pay day for the
Illinois Central railroad employees,
and the retail business has felt its
good effect. The best effects of the
big increase at the shops will not be
felt until next month in the payroll
owing to the fact that the pay can
payments are always a month be-
hind.
The best news OF the week con-
sidered from a business standpoint
was the active construction work on
the Burlington railroad across the
river, and the fact that Burlington
engineers are working around Padu-
cab. All skeptics have vanished, and
the Hill railroad system is expected
to be in Paducah before many
months, as the transfer will be used
pending the completion of the bridge.
In speaking of the furniture BUSH
ness one of the largest dealers in
the city said: "Our business is pick
ing up rapidly, and as IS per cent of
the furniture trade may be classed
as a luxury 1t shows that people are
getting back In the same prosperous
condition" The fact that all of the
excursions out Of Paducah have been
we'll patronized.

Paducah manufacturers are doing
good business, and their books are
full OF good orders. 1--WE shall have
the best year we have had in some
time" is the way on manufacturer

"The real estate market is begin
ming to show signs of life." said
real estate man today" The last
few weeks we have had some mighty
nice business and present indications
are very promising indeed The adj
vent of the new railroad will give US
an impetus, and 1t will soon be quite
apparent.
Building Lines.
Work on the new city buildings
will give employment TO quite a
number of hands. II will be started
now I'm a few days. Plans are In the
hands of a local architect now for
the new $4,000 building the First

GOVERNOR LEE WINS
G,hu DNAr GAGE

STS-
Vermillion, 6. D., Nov. 1O.-The case
Of William E. Niles VS.. A. f. Lee,
which has been holding the attention
of the court since the adjourned ses-
sion began here las Monday, came to
an end Saturday evening when the
jury entered a verdict with everything
in favor OF the ex-governor, Lee. 1t
is stated that an argument for a new
trial will be asked for b" the plaintif
at once. ~
. This Is a case wherein Niles was at
tempting to show that he was still a
partner Of Lee in a. railroad deal in
the east, and that he Is still a Joint
owner of the Iced of the railroad now
in possession OF Lee.
{ Niles is a promoter, with his Office in
Chicago. When the railroad In ques-
ton went into a receivers hands some
years ago and was offered for sale,
Niles induced Lee to go in with him
and purchase it. It was the UNDER
standing hat the two men should be
partners and that each should put up
an equal amount of money to meet all
expenses and payments, and equally
share h profits. After the ex-gover-
nor had put in some $10,0 900 he asked
for an accounting Of the enterprise,
and when ''e got it, 1t was in such a
shape that he Immediately grew
suspicious n he began an inVestiga-
ton. He found that he had been
played for a sucker, and so he called q
halt. Lee then secured a deed of the
whole railroad in his own name, and
this deed Niles claimed was secured
by fraud, while the ex-governor say it
was given in good faith. Evidently the
railroad proved to be a good thing after
Niles had transferred the deed to Lee,
and ir the trial he attempted to get
back on the wagon with Lee, but ac-
cording to all the evidence, things were
against him, and Lee won out.
