LEWIS BLUFF.
Paducah Fellow Wants Other
Teams To Work For Him
For Fifty Dollars A
Game.

A good line of talk is being indule :
ed in by Mr., Levy, manager of the
Paducah Baseball Association. and
he is working the Paducah papers
tn fare you we'll for free advertis-
ing. Levy says that unless the
smaller towns in the kitty LeaQu
will agree to come to Paducah and
Cairo for fifty dollars a game and
let the home team (meaning Levy
have the rest of the gate receipts
that he, Levy, will see to it that
there is no Kitty League, because
without Cairo and Paducah there
can be no league. Ever since Levy
entered the baseball game he has
been a disturber and has sought to
disorganize baseball without putting
up any big coin himself. All that
we ever heard of him doing was to
60 around and get the business men
of his town to put up $500 last year
when the Paducah team went broke.
If Levy could get the visiting teams
to work for him. as he wants them
to, at fifty dollars game. he could
pay all his salary expenses in four
Sundays.
The visiting team. especially
pennant winner like Fulton. does as
much, or more. than the home team
to draw the crowds at Paducah.
This being the case we are entitled
to an equal division Of gate receipts.
No one since the league was organic
ed ever objected to this equitable
arrangement until Levy came into
league affairs. AS he is now devot-
ing his time to baseball. having quit
his job on the road, ne figured out
that if he could put over" this
scheme and at the same time get the
liberal rnerchan 8 of Paducah to con-
tribute $1,000 it would be like find
ing pay ore. 1t would put money in
Levy's pocket but would break Hop

The editorial that appeared in a
recent issue of the Kentuckian to
the effect that Germantown, was
about the only town in the state
without officers, recalls that Fairview
is most the same way. Last fall the
town trustees refused to call an
election for a new board, claiming
that it was not the time, but later
on found out that an election should
have been held, and Judge Duffy, of
Elkton, appointed board to serve
till the next election. In the mean
while majority of the Taxpayers
refuse to pay their taxes, and only
twenty-six dollars was collected.
Some threatened to file an injunction
against the trustees TO keep them
from collecting said tax. and here
the matter rests. for no more taxes
have been collected. nor can they
get any one to collect them.

UNLUCKY NUMBER
Of IntermentS in Riverside
Cemetery Last Month.

Sexton ]. T. Johnson, of Riverside
Cemetery, had a busy month last
month, digging thirteen graves dur
ing the month. two for children and
eleven for adults. This was the
largest single months business ever
done. The increasing number of
burials is due not to any greater
mortality in HOpkinsville but rather
to the fact that a great many coun-
try people are buying lots in the

AFTER Dinner
CLUB FORMING

Adopting the idea which has proven
SO popular in Moline, the launching
of an after-dinner club is one of the
probabilities of the near future in
Rock Island. The plan is to embrace
in the membership men of every walk
of life for the purpose of getting to-
gether once a month for a simple din
ner, to be followed by an address OIL
some popular subject by some one
capable of delivering it.
Many in Rock Island who have at
tended the meetings in Moline are in
terested in the formation of a similar
club in Rock Island, and the pros
poets are that one will be started.

Ter, in charge of the government OBJ

belief that the crosses were the result
of the intersecting of moon haloes. He
explained that haloes are not necessar

cross each other. OF course this
would increase the brilliance at the
point of intersection and the two hal
oes would form a cross.
