r 4 » Autumn Fabrics and Garments Are Now Arriving From Day to Day Always first, always lowest, always best. Declared so time and again, and proven so now as never before. All people are fast finding out that this is the store that always sells better goods at the same price, or the same goods for a less price, than any other store. This store is the money-saver’s rendezvous, and the business is growing and expanding in consequence thereof. We have made great preparations to make this the banner fall of our mercantile career in Padu- cah, Richer bargains are inconceivable; the power of the almighty dollar was never greater. We are ready to help the autumn girl plan her cos- tume for the autumn. You will find us attentive, and able to give you many ideas as to the styles aud the making of goods. If youwish something handsome in clothing, ex- amine our stock. The prices for the same suits will be lower than others sell. We have provided the best values in men’s, women’s and children’s underwear in America. No house will match the quality, fit and style of our ladies’ new jackets and capes, and in children’s garments, at the prices we shall offer them. We are having a great stock of boys’ custom-made reefer suits and separate knee pants made, to sell at prices not heard of before in Paducah. We do not offer trashy stock in shoes, but if you want the reliable sort at fair prices no other house will sell you the same quality at our low prices. A great stock of millinery has been bought—excel- lent quality and the newest and prettiest styles, at our usual low prices, will be displayed at an early date. It’s impossible for us to call your attention to the many lines of goods we handle in our advestisements. For your patronage we thank you, and for your future we promise better, brighter and finer service.

STRANGE AGTION, The board of education, by its ac- tion of last night, completed it ries of spectacular and costly blun- ders, in refusing to allow Architect B. B. Davis to vindicate himself be- fore the peeple. The board should go on record as the most prejudiced | and reckless that ever sat in Padu- . Itmay have meant well, but it certainly has not done well; and the people can say what the little boy said when be was kicked by the mule, for it don’t make much difference what the motives of the board are, the results are just as costly in any event, Mr. Davis has been injured by the Vatter could have “al propriating $500 of the city’s mondy, or the people's money, to remedy 4 defect, which it seems does not to ex ist. Tke board no doubt did what it thought was right, but it failed to procure sufficient evidence to determ- ine what was right. Lis action m- flected on the ability of the architect, and he came here to clear himself. | His reputation cannot be affected so far as men who know him are eon- cerned, but it was an iajust ¢: which might injure his business in other channels, ami he came here like | man and offered to show the board that he was right, and wrong, even tho’ the board was backed by the unrivalled sagacity of its superintendent of construction. Even though it were admitted that the foondation was cracked, Mr. Davis could have shown that neither the supesintendedt nor the architect was responsible. The work was done properly according to the jadg- ment of the board, when it received and paid for it, and right in reality, then the board is to blame, and ought to shoulder, instead of shifting, the consequences of its own actions. It is due the people as well a9 Mr. Davis that the blame be ‘attached to the preper ones. The public will never be satisfied with the abortive manner in which the affair was settled last night, If Mr. Katterjohn made a mistake in saying the foundation was cracked, and the board made a mistake in taking his word for it to the tame of a few hundred dollars, it ought to sdwit it, and act like men of honor and intelligence, and hasten to ree- tify it instead of covering it up, If in the right the board certainly eould not have objected to the introduction of all the expert testimony that could be foand in Kentucky or elsewhere. If there is nothing the matter with the building, a8 was offered to be proved to the board last might, it is nothing but # hardship on the people | to make them needlessly pay $557 | dollars for repairs. In addition to the unnecessary cost, the tearir away of the foundation, no matter it { it were an honest mistake of the board in ordering it, will endanger the stability of the building, @nd perhaps render it useless in «few years, The action of the board Inst night looks to the disinterested ob- server as if it realized it bad made a serious mistake, but hed not the courage to faee an investigation, lo such cases, involving the public wel- fare, as well as the expenditure of the public's men of pub) positions ought to *hew to the line, let the chips fall where they may: had any. objection to money, previous action of the board, and the vinta han nv i fast night but the board ot.eati- night—but it didn’t. Mr. Terrell made some very sensible remarks, but he did not once claim that the board had not made a serious and costly mistake in acting on what may be incompetent testimony in regard to alleged defects in the school building. It 1s conceded that the board has done all along what it thought was right, and for the best interests of the people, but it is equally as generally believed that the board bas many times failed to use ordinary business prudence, and that none of the board would have handled their private business as the board has managed the people’s bus- iness. “Yn regard to the new building, it is the general opinion that the board was foolish ever to decide on the erection of a building that could not be paid for with no delay even had the cost heen according to whe first estimate. The construction of the foundation at the cost of $11,000, and allowing it to stand a whole year without any protection from the ele- ments, was another action that was foolish in the extreme, The money should.have been arranged for and the building put up at once, and not in sections & year or more apart. The board bas also authorized changes, of small import, it is true, which it has forgotten in its anworthy effort to attach blame to an innocent man, The action of the board in ap- and @ contractor instead of an archi- f the fit- Not Maa on the Had an architect been se~ lected the piesent muddle, which has payers, would have been avoided, e As tothe alleged crack jn the bpilding, and pistake was in to inv&tigate the mal yupon it. ; ee a well known fact that pearly all uf the factional quarrels that have in+ jared the republican party in Keu+ tucky have arisen over the distribuy tion of offices, P that modern politics demonstrat) on’ the tax-!1, that the spoils system must Judging from the prepoa-| here this fall is still ‘*hanging fire, fale-|derance of expert testimony, it does) yt js certainly to he regretted t not exist, and Architect Davis has}the business men of this city cannot)? :30 sharp. affidavits from civil engineers whose) gee so plain a situation as that the ability cannot be questioned, that it} ghandonment of the fair will be a That there is apparently|@etriment to Paducah.

Granting that even a small part of the stories of mismanagement and incapacity at Chickamauga and some other of the mi : we have in that part a most formida- ble argument in favor of civil service reform. If the stories be true that the sensational papers are telli) then the fault lies in the fact tha competent men bave been appoiuted to the medical, commissary and quartermaster departments. In sup. port of the above theory comes the fact that in the regular army there was much less sickness and the men were generally better cared for. The statement made by Secretary Alger that if things were wrong it was be~ cause of incompetent officials whose duty it was to execute orders, and not tke fault of the war department, is a statement that is strictly true and shows that Alger realizes the cause of the alleged mismanagement. ‘There bs been no complaint from the navy, That department is of- ficered solely by experienced men and no man in the whole service owes his selection or advancement to political preferences. The spoils system in the army op- erates as the spoils system does any> where else, Only vastly worse. When appointments are made solely for poe litical reasons, when campaign debts or pledges are paid at the expense of the national government, the preg ence of incompetent men is unable to be avoided, Furthermore it is a fact that the evil effects of the spoils system upon the party benefiting apparently theres by, are extremely disastrous.
