STILL LIVING
Remarkable Case of Jos. H.
Schiller Reported at
Louisville.

Louisville, KY, Sept. 3.-Sur-
geons of this city are deeply inter-
ested in the remarkable case of
Joseph H. Schiller, who two days
ago, attempted suicide by putting
two bullets into his brain, and who
continues to improve. Schiller to-
day recognized members of his fam
lily, and was able to take liquid nour-
ishment. 1t is now believed that he
has a chance to recover. The at
tempt at suicide was made by put
ting a revolver in his mouth and fir
ing twice. Both balls lodged in the
Uranium after almost tearing away
the roof of the mouth.
Drs. w. c. Dugan and j. P. Fer
guson performed the operation, re-
lieving the pressure Of blood on the
brain, but not finding the bullets.
Since then Schiller has lain in a
semi-conscious state. His right side
is paralyzed. The cause of the deed
is unknown. He is a blacksmith
and is % years of age.

Mr.. J. E. Walk, member of the

day and his striking resemblance 20
Mayor Meacham caused several
amusing incidents. There was a
big crowd in town and among the
visitors were some whose feelings
had been hurt by the Mayors war on
night riders and at one time these
were seen taking in" Mr.. Walk with
glances not altogether of admi-
ration. One Of the Mayors friends
who does not come to town often
stopped Mr.. Walk on the street and
him on making such a
fine Mayor. 1t so happened that the
doubles" did not come in contact
With each other.

Who Always Consider Their
Patrons First and the
Finances Later.
The Old Fashioned Circus
Seats Have Been RELOCATED
BY Cole Brothers.

There is something substantial
about the very mention of the great
Cole Brothers circus and menagerie
that causes one to realize a feeling
of surety. 1t is nearly ten years
since this giant of the amusement
world toured this section of the
country and during its absence it
has so increased in both magnitude
and merit that few will recognize in
it the show that always pleased them
so extremely in years gone by.
Every department has been enlarged
and while magnitude has been con-
sidered, merit has not by any means
been neglected They are showmen
who always consider their patrons
first and the finances later. They
are cognizant of the fact that the
best advertising medium ever crea-
ted is satisfied audience, and of the
hundreds of thousands who have
seen this show this year, not one
complaint has been made by one of
them. Patrons of this show can
feel assured that they are as safe in
its spacious tents as that their own
houses and that their time is not
being wasted watching a perform.
ance with which they are only too
familiar. Everything is up to the
The comfortable seating
arrangements are such as meet with
the approval of all. The old-fash-
ioned circus seats have been relega-
ted and every seat is provided with
comfortable back and foot rests.
The Cole Brothers show carries it's
own corps of detectives, who will
work in conjunction with the local
and visitors can feel that
they will not be compelled to suffer
from the annoyance Of dishonest
methods so conspicuous with other
tented aggregations.
Cole Brothers show will be in
Hopkinsville next Saturday, Sept.i7.

BITTEN BY SNAKE
Thought To Be Copper
head or a Rather.

Miss Hazel Schopperd, aged 16,
daughter Of J. w. Schopperd. of
the Crofton neighborhood, was bit
ten on the left hand by snake a
few days ago. The young lady was
assisting her brother in feeding the
cows and when she picked up bum
die of hay the reptile stuck his
fangs in her hand. 1t was in the
night and she could not see the snake,
but it is thought that it was either
a copperhead or a RATHER, as there
are many of both species in that Sec
ton. The hand and arm have been
much swollen, but Miss Schopperd
was reported somewhat better yes
day, with good chances of recovery.

new method of city government in
Iowa's capital. and "Leveling Dur

with the class of material which so
many readers of the National par
ticularly delight in. Edward Car

Pittsburg, Feb. 15--The most phe.
nomenal atmospheric disturbance ever
Witnessed in this city occurred at
1882 Thursday, when In the midst OF
an extraordinary heavy blizzard sew.
aral peals of loud thunder were heard
and the vivid fash Of lightning came
from the heavsn, causing a magnificent
combination OF atmospheric conditions
and frightening many persons who
Jaw the remarkable occurrence.
Prof. John A. Grashear, OF the Al.
legheny observatory, who announced
the discovery Of one OF the greatest
sun spots ever called TO the attention
u astronomers, when seen again re.
sarding the phenomenon, said:
The disturbance shortly after noon
was the most remarkable thing |
have ever known. In view of the
Gigantic sun spot | expected an elec.
Jrical disturbance some time during
the day. L thought. however, 1t
would take the form of the aurora
borealis, or that telegraph and tele.
phone communication would be seri,
ously affected. Instead the disturb.
ance was awe-inspiring and terrible
10 those who observed 1t. From an of.
