In al this hue and cry about profess

Union. nothing is heard OF the pro-

investigation among those promoters in

the real men behind the scandal. Get

Negro Thieves Taken by Police.

Raymond Johnson and John Will
lIams, two negroes, were arrested Sun
day afternoon by Patrolman Fred Link
on a charge of having broken into the
store CT Moses Joseph at the corner OF
Lylesvllle and Eighth streets Saturday
night.
The negroes, it is alleged, entered
the store some time during Saturday
night. gaining an entrance after they
had broken the glass from one of the
front windows. and 1t is said carried
away about $50 worth of meat, flour
and clothing. The discovery of the
robbery was made by Joseph who went
to the store Sunday morning after
some fresh meat and the matter was
at cnce reported to Patrolman Link.
who instituted a search for the rob-
bers.
1t was ascertained by the officers
after thorough Investigation that a
number of negroes in the negro suburb
had been well supplied with fish and
by very clever piece of work rounded
up the two negroes who it is believed
committed the robbery. Everything
taken from the store was found in a
coal house near the home of one OF
the negroes under arrest and practi-
cally all of the goods were recovered.
The negroes were arraigned in police
court yesterday morning and before
Judge January entered a rlea of not
guilty. Their trial WAS set for Wed

Hotel Promoters Meeting With
Success

Meeting with the most encouraging
results Messrs. Leer Stout and Logan
Howard, who last week started the
looking to the incarceration
of a company to erect new hotel IN
this city, are busilys engaged in their
labors and to this date considerable
sum has been subscribed.
The movement twas started after
the promoters had secured an option
on the property of MIR. John Sauer at
the corner of Seventh and Main streets
and the adjoining property OF Mrs.
Thomas Roche. A thirty day option
has been retained on the property and
which will expire March 5.
Many of the leading business men Of
this city have become interested In the
endeavor to organize the stock com
pany and capitalized at 500, 900, while
others who are financially able to sub
scribe for large block of stock. seem
to be waiting only for the purpose of
seeing how the venture will take with
the majority of the local capitalists.
There should be nothing to hinder
the progress of the men VINO have I'M
dertaken to organize the company, and
who are spending their most valuable
time in their efforts to interest the
citizens in the enterprise. Most of our
citizens of means no doubt will not
hesitate.a moment were it not for the
fact the same spirit that has retarded
the progress of many an enterprise,
still exists.
The gentlemen who have retained
the option OIL the property to be used
as site for the hotel, state that there
isl but a comparatively small amount
of time in which to act ami those who
have been approached on the subject
who have not fully made up their
minds should without further hest
fancy, secure a portion of the stock.
That the enterprise!would prove pay
ing proposition is without question
there should be no drawback from this
source.
The News is interested in the sue
cess of the venture and heartily en-
dorses all of the plans. There should
be nothing whatever TO hinder the pro-
gress of the promoters and with
prompt responses from those who are
now considering taking stock would
expedite matters and give further
time to lay the plans before other
prospective subscribers if they would
make their intentions known at once.

Nav Not Get Natural Gas After
All

Paris may not get natural gas after
all, is the discOuraging rumor that is
afioat. and the effort of the Central
Kentucky Natural Gas Co. to get a
franchise to enter the city with It's
pipe lines was only bluff.
There is nothing now to indicate
that there will be another effort on
the part OF the officials Of the gas COM
City Council at its meeting Thursday
night. No disposition with this in
view has been apparent since the re-
lection of the franchise on the ground
that the maximum rate was not the
same as that of other cities now get.
ting the service, has been made and
this leads to belief that there will be
nothing more heard CT it.
Since the franchise was presented to
the council it has come to light thai. IAN
effort had been made to purchase a
franchise held by Messrs. George
Alexander, Fl. Clay Howard and w.
b. Lloyd. the latter Uf Mt. Sterling,
ard which has been iE effect about six
years. but since there have been no
further negotiations. There is a
strong opinion that the officials have
abandoned the idea of extending their
lines to this city.
Many opinions as to the motive of
the company in securing a franchise
are advanced. one in particular beng
that at the time it hoped to get con-
troll of the lighting plants of this city,
anu failure in this effort precluded
their endeavnr to secure the franchise.
This. however, is matter of con-
lecture, as nothing can be produced to
verify the rumor that is now in circu-
lation along this line. 1t is the opin-
ion of many that no further effUrt will
be made tn have the council pass upon
the franchise and this being a fact the
matter will rest for the present at
least, perhaps forever.
