WE ARE TO HAVE \ REA l.
STREET FAIR.

At u meeting Of citizens held at
the Courthouse on Monday night
last, it was resolved to have a
Street Fair. The time was fixed as
October t. D, 6 and I.
The soliciting committee reported
that they had received sufficient
subscriptions to warrant them in
going ahead with the necessary
arrangements.
The following gentlemen were
selected as the officers:
President-Jas. >. Darnell.
Vice Presidcnt-JOhn II. Cassell.
Secretary-MasOn p. Brown.
Treasurer-John A. Brislan.
Auditor-C. Steele Reading.
We have been opposed to having
a Street Fair ii it was to he run
like the last one. We expressed cur
opinion of that at the time and
announced then that we hoped We
might never be cursed with another
such.
But now that those in charge
have announced that they will con-
duct it upon the plan of the first
fair held here, we are cordially in
favor of it and hope 1t will prove a
great success.

FRANKFORT, KENTUCKY SATURDAY AUG. 2h 1904
SAD ACCT DENT AND DEATH

On Tuesday afternoon Mr.. Jesse
Phillips. wife and little son, who
live on Campbell street, in what is
known rs the Epperson house, were
ont driving, on the Lawrenceburg
pike, near the pumping station of
the watorwurks. Some lads, who
had been swimming i'm the river,
came up the hill and shouted and
waved their hats at the driver of u
four-hOrse team belonging to Mr..
Fonny' Mitchill, who was COM
ing along the pike. The horses
attached to the wagon took fright
and IAN away, becoming unman-
ageable.
In their mad dash down the pix e
the team ran against Mr.. Phillips
buggy, overturning it and throwing
all the occupants out.
: Mrs. Phillips was thrown against
a stone fence, her head badly cut
and she was otherwise so badly in
jured that she died from her hurts
at | o'clock Il. IN. on Wednesday.
She never recovered consciousness
after the fall. She was delicate
lady and had been in bad health
for some time.
Mr.. Phillips was rendered uncon-
scious by his fall; but, beyond
being bruised and stunned, was
not seriously injured.
The little boy, strange to say,
was uniniured.
DR.. L. V. Williams was called in
and dressed Mrs. Phillips injuries
and did all he could for her, but
she was too badly hurt for any re-
lief.
The buggy in which these good
people were riding was smashed to
kindling wood.
1t was a very sad affair. Coroner
Graham held an inquest and the
verdict of the jury was in accord
with the facts.

FROM HOT TO COLD.

Dysentery is prevalent every
where in summer and is due TO
miasmatic poisons, and begins
abruptly with inflammation of the
mucous lining of the large bowel.
In America the disease is common,
but properly treated does not result
as seriously as in the tropics.
Perry Davis Painkiller is the best
known remedy and the most eff Ca
cious in the treatment of dysentery.

THE BIG SHOW = NOT HERE
UNTIL SEPTEMBER %.

Among the altogether new and
startling feature loadstones an
nounced by the great Adam Fore
paugh and Sells Brothers United
I Shows to signaliZe their days visit
, to Frankfort on September %,
ProGigiOus POrthos, the Partisan
Cycling wonder, whose phenomenal
feat of leaping on his bicycle across
chasm fifty feet wide has already
electrified Europe, is attracting the
lions share of attention and dis
cussion. None of our readers hav-
ing us yet seen this her0ically phe-
nOmenal performance, the following
summary thereof, taken from de-
tailed description, accompanied by
half-page Illustration, published
in the New York Evening Journal
OF March 9th last, will be found Of
general interest:
The bicycle used is of the or
binary safety pattern, except that
two stationary pocket stirrups to
hold the riders feet are substituted
in place of pedals, which, as it will
be apparent, would be worse than
useless. Thus mounted and grasp
| ing the handle-bars with a grip of
| steel, PoIthos starts from a plat
form forty-five feet from the
ground. Before him lies, at an in
cline of forty-five degrees, board
path. less than three feet wide and
u hundred feet in length, which at
! the bottom ends in q sharp upward
curve, directly in line with and
separated by break of some fifty
feet from another platform ten feet
above the ground. a gentle shove
! from an attendant and POrthos is
off on blief but fearsOme journey,
! the ending of which no man, not
even himself, can foretell. Should
his wheel swerve single inch

! ton of control, concentration of in
stan taneous observation and SUI

he gather speed in his furiously

curve referred to, and he and his
wheel soar upward and headlong

taneous delicateness of manipula-

and dunn bfounded onlookers, lands
on the receiving platform, which
! its two wheels must strike at prac-
