WAR OF BALLOONS
At Cinclnnati's Great Industrial
Show.
1.-THE Blue Moon" and Fighting
the Flames" Specialtles of
Fall Festival.

CINCINNATI, o., August 15.-Years
ago Cincinnati was given the name
THE Mother of Expositions." Those
industrial shows of old pale in
comparison with the Fall Festivals held
on the sites of earlier triumphs of Ma
tional prominence. The Festival of
19O6-the first in three years-will
eclipse in every way all its predeces-
sors. On the night of the opening, Au-
gust %, a war of balloons will afford an
aerial spectacle of a magnitude never
before attempted. Twenty thousand IA
foot paper balloons will be sent up all
over Cincinnati at given signal, and
while dynamite bombs hurled high are
exploding, sending their thunderous
echoes for miles around, the entire sky
will be covered with the flaming voy-
hgers of the air. Balloon will collide
with balloon and the sight will be one
of unique novelty.
The Fall Festival is to last four weeks
and has been we'll defined as Worlds
Fair in Tabloid Form" The Washing
ton Park shows are grouped around the
fountain and will be on the order of
the famous pike" at st. Louis and in
clude The Hippodrome." patterned aft
er New York's big amusement palace;
the Temple of Art, Hale's Tours, House
of Nonsense and Palace of Aladdin. The
Backwoods Inn is a place Of refresh
ment and vaudeville combined. Paris
has her Chateau lie Morte, and the Fall
Festival House of Death is a miniature
of one of the most famous cafes in the
world. The service will be on collins,
and under the glass at the head of each
black casket will blink the red eyes of
a grinning skull. The chairs will be
made of whitened bones.
These shows are merely incidental to
great industrial features and a Govern
ment Exhibit worth talking about. AT
Music Hall, THE Blue Moon" staged by
the Shuberts through the courtesy Of
the Heuck Opera House Company of
Cincinnati, lessees of the Lyric Theater,
will be given it's first American presen-
tation. This is the musical spectacle
that enthused London for over year.
It cost SIS, 900 10 place 1.-THE Blue Moon"
in American atmosphere. James Z.
Powers is the leading comedian of the
star cast and $50 people take part.
Fighting the Flames" - the show
which has made such tremendous hits
at Luna Park. Coney Island and at the
White City, in Chicago-will be put on
hack Of the Exposition Building, the
scene of Marco Polo's" success. Claude
Hagen. who originated the spectacle or
fire fighting, is in charge Of the Clncin-
natl construction.
The Fall Festival Is Cincinnatrs
greatest amusement and industrial Of
fering to the country and preparations
are now under way to entertain hun
dreds OF thousands of visitors from Au-
gust % to September %. Special round
trip rates to Cincinnati have been made
by all the railroads-an official ruling
that stamps the Importance OF the Fall
Festival as National event.

ASSAULT is ATTEMPTED
Unknown Negro Attacks Miss
Boone at Leesville, La.

Leesville, La, March 81
Much excitement was caused here
last night at 10 O'Clock by an at
tempt to assault Miss Birdie
Boone of this place by an un-
known negro.
Three negro suspects are now
In Jail and an effort will be made
to ferret out the guilty party.
Miss Boone, who has resided
for some time with Mrs. M.
Hagan. had occasion to walk out
on the porch last night at the
hour mentioned when she was
suddenly seized from behind by
some one. The party slapping his
hand over her eyes made the re-
mark: eff you scream I'll kill
you." The young lady did
scream and the brute was in the
act of cutting her throat when
her younger sister came to her
rescue. The negro, black, tall,
and wearing light jumper,
sprang off of the porch and ran.
1t will be difficult to have guilty
party identified as it was dark and
the young lady did not get good
view of him.
The town was up in arms in a
very short time and posses
searched the town and surround
ing country. As stated, three
negroes were arrested and are
now held in Jail.
The excitement has subsidized,
but the loafing and transient ne.
groes have been queitly warned
that the people of Leesville will
not submit to crime here and the
vagrant negroes of the town
will have to leave or go to work.
No talk of lynching has been
heard here today.
