closed it's doors after a good days
business Saturday, the sum of $50
remained in the cash register, ready
for banking yesterday morning.
Early yesterday morning when Mr..
Harry o. James opened up the place
for business he discovered the back
door open and the cash register
moved out of place. A count OF the
cash revealed the sum Of $13.S5
missing, as well as sundry articles Of
smoking materials from the stock.
Chief of Police Fred Link was sum-
moned, and after an investigation,
suspicion fell upon two well-known
young man confessed to the theft,
of the place. The clue Chief Link
had was followed up and one of the
young men Swallowed, and finally
placed under arrest on suspicion. The
young men confessed to the theft.
and told how he had allowed himself
to be locked in, then rifled the cash
register and left by the back way,
leaving the door open. The money
was found on his person. The other

NOTICE. TO CONSUMERS.

To Our Electrical Consumers
On account of the high cost OF
everything at this time, We are forced
to ask our patrons who use cleo
trio current to share with us part
of the great war burden.
On April LIST we will reduce dis
counts from 1c per X. w. H. to "
per X. w. H. and readjust the rate
schedule for electric lighting as to
the quantity used, but we will not
raise the unit price per Kilowatt in
any case. These advances will be SO
slight that we feel assured that our
patrons will cheerfully aid us in It'd
ing over the period of high costs in
cident to the war and until normal
conditions are again restored.
Elsewhere in to-day's paper will
be found a copy of the new rate
schedules which will be applied on
April bills.
Assuring you of our regret that
this has become necessary to prevent
losses that would impair service and
threaten the existence of the Com
pany, we remain as ever-"always
read to serve"
Yours truly,
C. L. STEENBERGEN,
Manager Paris Gas & Electric Co.

D0INGS OF STATE SOLONS IN THE
LEGISLATURE.

Relief for the people of the cities
OF Kentucky who have suffered from
a lack of natural gas when it was
most needed is given in a bill spon-
sored by Representative William f.
Klair, which passed the House with
but one vote against it.
The House killed the eight-hour
work bill of Representative Jimmy
Thornton, of Newport, and defeated
the bill of Representative Charlie
Hunter, of Marion, which was in
tended to make divorces through the
collision of the parties little more
difficult in Kentucky.
A resolution to pay J. HI. Hedden.
of Mt. Sterling, 1899 for money he
paid out of his own pocket for cler-
1cal assistance while public printer,
lost 28 to 81. The same resolution
Was beaten at the 1916 session.
The Senate tabled by the close
vote of Is to 16 the bill of Senator
Basil d. Richardson giving the State
Railroad Commission authority to NIX
joint rates.
The Senate passed a bill appropri-
ating $4,000 for State militia dur
ing the war while the national
guardsmen are in the service.
Governor Stanley signed the Coun-
Gil of National Defense act, appro-
priating $4,000 annually for the
ensuing two years to the Kentucky
council of which Edward w. Hines.
of Louisville, is chairman. The act
carries an emergency clause, making
the appropriation Immediately avail
able.
The Governor also signed the
Huntsman bill, prohibiting alien ene-
mics from keeping firearms or explo-
SiveS.
;; Senator Thomas A. Combs, of Lex
ingtOn, president pro tenn of the SEN
ate, resigned from the Senate, and
after handing his resignation to Gov
ernor Stanley, resigned in the SEN
ate as president pro tenn, so that his
successor can be elected before the
session adjourned. His reason for re-
signing is that he is director of the
Federal Reserve Bank, and the Off
Gals of the institution requested that
none of the directors have any polit-
ical connections.
A large number of bills passed
both houses of the General Assembly
Friday and the Rules Committee pro-
grams were so full that night ses-
sions were held at both ends of the
Capitol in the effort to clear the
decks so that the Senate shall have
only House bills to act on for this
week and the House only Senate
bills.
The House refused, Sc to 36 to le-
galize the operation of moving pict-
! ure shows and garages on Sunday.
The Court of Appeals recently upheld
| a fine in the Frankfort police court
imposed for running a picture show
on Sunday. Mr.. McDonough, OF
Louisville, said that it was probable
every Sunday picture show in the
State would be closed soon after the
mandate of the Court of Appeals is
| handed down.
In the Senate the most important
bill passed was the bill requiring the
registration of voters outside cities
of the first four classes one in four
years.

GETTING READY FOR THE NEXT
DRAFT CALL.

County Clerk Pearce Patton, former
County Judge Charles A. Mcmillan
and DR.. Silas Evans, composing the
Bourbon County Board of Exemption,
have arranged and classified the fifty
colored regiStrants who will be call
ed to the colors from this county for
army service.
These men will be called to report
to the Board on March 20. The fifty
men named below will compose the
ready for service at Camp Zachary
Taylor. One of the men named in the
list in the Bourbon county Jail and
two others are yet to be examined,
so three more names have been ad-
ded to the list to take the places of
these men if they are unable to &C
company the other members of the
draft to Camp Taylor.
In connection with the draft call
the District Board in session at Lex
ington has made ruling that all
1egistrantS who have married since
November Is, will be placed in Glass
Al, regardless of their claims for
deferred classification on the grounds
they have dependent wives. The
Board has decided that any regis
trant who married after that date
did so knowing that he would likely
be called for military service, as the
QUESTIONABLE was in effect at that
time. The drafted man, may, how
ever, claim deferred classification on
other grounds, such as industrial OF
agricultural.
The names of the fifty-three color
ed men from Bourbon county who
will compose the next draft are as
follows:
