Just what will be done cannot au-

the company will take a twenty-year
franchise. and that the rate for the
telephone service will be fixed
probably at maximum of $50 a
year.

Special scenery is carried and the
costumes are pretty. The following
is a general outline:
Washington Stubbs is an actor
manager, whose theatrical ventures
have proven so Improbable that he
has been forced into other business
for a livelihood At the time the
story opens he is engaged in selling
his theatrical properties as genuine
antiques. Business is very, bad. DR..
Elisha Dobbins, a scientist, fondly
imagines that he has discovered the
elixir of life, and is in search of an
Egyptian mummy upon which to ex-
pertinent. Stubbs hasn't an Egyp-
tian mummy in stock, but that fact
doesn't worry him. He palms off
his property man, Bolivar. on the un-
suspecting doctor. During the sec
ond act everything leads up to the
great experiment which ends the
play, and which naturally, when it
comes on. quickly undeeeives the
doctor.
Incidental to the story of the
mummy are two stories of maids and
their love affalrs-one an actress,
Trixie Evergreen. who wishes to
marry Stubbs. and the other the doc
tors daughter, Flo. who is in love
with a fire-eating, kissing crazy Bra
lillian, Don Romero de Cabanos. OF
course, both of these love affairs
have a pleasing termination.

Young Man Had Foot Mashed
Almost Off Between Cars.
Nearly Dozen Accidents Are Re-

Days.
NONE OF THEM WAS FATAL

Lon Sanderson, aged 26, residing
near Mayfield, KY, met with a seri-
Gus accident Saturday night while
crossing through string of freight
cars at Mayfeld. He did not wait
for the engine to pull the cars clear
of a crossing. and in attempting to
jump through got his left foot bad
~ mangled. but not sufficient to nee
essitate amputation.
Sanderson was in a hurry and com
ing to the string of cars, without in
vestigating the intentions of the
switchmen and engine crew, jumped
in between. He had his left foot on
the drawhead when the cars came
together with bang. His foot was
caught and mashed
The young man was removed to
nearby house and physicians sum
moned. He was later taken home and
an investigation showed amputatior
would not be necessary.
1t seems that Mayfeld has been
struck by streak of bad luck dur
ing the past several weeks. as seve,-
al persons have suffered broken
arms. legs and sustained other inju-
ries.
