THE cHAuTAuoUA

Citizens should make haste to in
sure the continuance OF the Chau-
tauqua. The program this year was
better than last year. Wisely the
directors propose to improve the pro-
gram each year as the attendance
warrants. They expect to make no
profit from the venture; but hope
lonly to escape personal obligation for
the institution. II five or six thou
sand people should attend, public
men like Bryan, Folk, Hughes, John
son, Beveridge and John Sharp Will
liams could be secured, and all the
vital issues of the day could be dis
lcussed. thus making OF the Paducah
Chautauqua, truly public forum.
We believe, too, judging by the
crowd that heard Mr. Bryan, and the
mention of his visit in the papers of
the Purchase, that IL the directors
could afford the time for an early
canvass of the Purchase. an immense
crowd could be secured to camp here
for a week next summer. IL assured
that men of the class mentioned
would comprise the program. or
course. that would DC an ambitious
project. and would require faith and
patience, and we probably are antici-
pating the ultimate purposesof the,
public spirited gentlemen. who have
the AFFAIR in charge. We are glad to
observe spirit of greater interest in
the Chautauqua manifested this year
by the citizens. and we believe the
directors should not be in the least
discouraged. Paducah has discrimi-
mating, pleasure loving. intelligent
who will patronize the
best; and the big days and nights at
the Chautauqua fully justified the
of the directors.

SOME STORIES

vault for protection. but when the
curiosity seekers called Sheriff Ogll-

by permitting them to examine the
hemp rope. Every time the rope
was replaced in the vault, and II be-
came a regular nuisance to open the
vault 50 many times during the day.
Some practical joker about the of
fee secured a pillow line, and tied a

pended near the vault. 1t was not
long before the word spread. espee-
tally among the negroes, that the
rope was hanging on the wall at the
sheriff's Office and could be seen.
Crowds fiocked TO the Office and with
out asking questions walked to the
rear Office and examined the pillow
line. II was tested thoroughly, the
moose pulled, and many people walk
ed away with the satisfaction they
had seen the real rope.
One spectator saw that the rope
was made out Of grass, and walking
to Sheriff ogilvie said: ''Mr. ogilvie,
I believe you were cheated in the
deal. That gross rope Is not worth

for the money YOU paid" Sheriff
Ogilvie was quick to see the mans
and opening the vault doors
showed him the real hemp rope.

HILTON STARTS MOVE
TO OBTAIN SEWERS,
Township Committee Interested
in PrOject-TO Meet Again.

An agitation for the proper sewerine
of Hilton was started last night at a
public meeting held In Hilton Chapel
Inc township committee, composed OF
William H.. Kemp, William H. Knox
n William A. Greenaway, manifested
much interest in the proceedings.
Mr.. Kemp, who is chairman Of the
sewer committee of the township COM
mittee, gave a history of the sewering
of a part of the township. He esti-
mated the cost of completing the Hilton
sewerage at Approximately 81 a foot.
He also declared that personally he
would be absolutely neutral in the mat
when final action is taken, in accord
ance with the wishes of the Hiltonites.
Committeeman Knox and Greenaway
spoke in a similar vein.
Former school commissioner Louis
Becker empnatically declared that cost
should not be taken seriously into con-
sideration as sanitary conditions we're
of permanent Importance. He also laid
stress upon the fact that Hilton could
not develop properly without an ade-
quate sewer system.
Hugo Mcneil cautioned against undue
haste in the matter. He thought it
would be we'll to consider 1t more thor
oughly and then take final action. On
motion of Township Clerk Edward Ar

project and to call another public meet

made at he request of Iff1anler's
father, who said that his son had been
complaining of pains In his head ever
since he had an encounter with Johr
Reddington. who lives at McWhortel
and Garden streets. Reddington was
ararested but allowed to go on the re.
port of the county physician.
