In the senate one day during the

shock when the clerk read the title
Of bill for a public building at
Knoxville, Tennessee.

Everybody turned to rear seat on
the Republican side and looked with
amazement and some pity upon Sena-
tor Lenroot of Wisconsin. AS far
back as the memory of senators and
others connected with the senate goes,
no one ever objected to the censidera-
ton of a public-building BILL. Public
building hills have always been con-
sidered sacred to senator's. They have
been passed as matter Of course, ev-
erybody knowing that when the time
comes all bills of that character will
be finally passed in an omnibus bill
Senator Shields of Tennessee reasoned
with Lenroot, but it was no use. The
/ Wisconsin senator insisted that cities
; In his state were entitled to as much
consideration as Knoxville, and would
not withdraw his objection.

BOURBON OBSERVED "FUELLESS
DAY" MONDAY.

County Fuel Administrator Jas.
H. Thompson and the members OF
the Fuel Committee are greatly
pleased with the cooperation which
they found among the people OF
Paris and Bourbon county in carry
ing out the orders of National Fuel
Administrator Garfield for the con
seryation of fuel last Monday.
The committee has not so far
heard of single violation of the
Fuel Administrator order to have
heatless Mondays until March rs.
They say the people of Bourbon
county have always been loyal and
patriotic, and have proven it every
time the opportunity has been pre-
scented.
The closing order caused consid-
cradle inconvenience, of course, bur
there was a universal disposition to
observe the order. Mr.. Thompson
says the people of the county have
been able to keep comfortable so far
during the extreme cold weather
that has been experienced for the
mast week. A careful handling or
the fuel situation here helped very
much.

BANK COMMISSIONER FILES AN
OTHER ALEXANDER SUIT.

Mr.. George C. Speer, State Com
missioner, has filed a second suit in
the United States District Court at
Cincinnati against the Fifth-Third
National Bank, of that city, to re-
cover $43,640.37, alleged to be due
the creditors of the George Alexan-
der & Co. State Bank, in this city.
The first suit was filed by former
State Banking Commissioner Thos.
]. Smith, and judgment was
given In favor of the Paris Bank for
the amount sued for, in the District
Court and the Court Of Appeals.
After it had developed that the
term Of the Commissioner had expir-
ed, the Fifth-Third National Bank,
Of Cincinnati, took the position that
there was no one legally qualified to
whom the money should be paid.
The second suit is practically the
same as the first; that the Paris
bank borrowed $4,000 from the
Fifth-Third National Bank, and af-
terward overdrew its account to the
extent Of $8.640.37, giving the
Fifth-Third National Bank collater..
al to the amount, covering its in
debtedness, which the latter bank
disposed of. The Court held that
this transaction was illegal, mas
much as the charter of the Alexan-
der Bank only allowed it to assume
an Indebtedness of 10000

MERCHANTS ABANDON PLAN TO
OPEN MONDAYS

A large number of Winchester
merchants have had under consider
alton for several days the question
of opening their stores on Mondays
from 1880 to 400 p. M, for the
benefit of the country people who
visit the city ON court day and are
unable to come on any other day.
The plan was not to use any heat.
but to allow purchases to be made
during those hours. 1t was not the
wish Of any of the merchants to do
anything contrary to the orders of
the Fuel Commission. AS soon as
the matter was taken up they COM
municated with State Fuel Admin
istrator Wiley Bryan, at Louisville,
explaining their desires The mes
sage they sent read: advise at
once whether merchants can open
on Mondays without heat
Mr.. Bryan replied as follows:
Nothing to prevent merchants from
opening without heat on Mondays.
Stores selling foods may maintain
necessary heat until noon for the
sale of foodstuffs only. Your patri-
otto duty is to comply with the or
der, spirit of which should be
obeyed."
After reading the telegram the
merchants decided that they could
not legally operate, and that it was
their patriotic duty to do nothing
which had even the semblance of
being contrary to the dictates of the
Fuel Administration.
