Voters of kentucky.
RoUsING SPEECH OF WILSON

Hopkinsville, Ky. Oct. 14.-Mov-
ing to intense enthusiasm $500 Ken
tuckians of Christian county, whose
zeal for the welfare of their state has
lobliteratel all party lines and differ
lences, Augustus f. Wilson gave
a splendid exposition OF American
principle and policy at this place.
In the audience were hundreds of
tobacco growers. and it was 10 them
that Mr.. Wilson especially directed
a portion OF his belief in the right Of
all men to associate and organize for
mutual benefit and protection, and II
was with pleasure that he had watch
ed the tobacco growers fraternlzing
IN this manner for the parpose of OBJ
tanning higher prices for their crops
and other advantages not calculated
Ito accrue from individual effort.
He did not believe though, that any
organization of that or any other
kind should be dedicated to anything
but law and order, and said chat nine
out of ten Kentuckians agreed with
his views straight from the shoulder.
He said: 81 brook no compromise
with the disorderly spirits in any or
ganization. l condemn unreservedly
men who shoot into other mems
houses and injure their property and
destroy their crops. l say this so that
the man who don't agree with me may
vote against me. am law and or
der Kentuckian.'
Refuge for Hencfnien.
Pointing his outstreaehed arm in
the direction of the state asylum,
which could be seen through the open
window, he denounced the manage
ment and conduct of the institution
under the present state administra
ton as a refuge of political bench
men, where unfortunate Kentuckians
were misused and maltreated in the
name of politics.
II speak right here where some of
the gravest wrongs and most glaringI
crimes have been committed in Ken
lucky. l pledge you that when / am
governor that Institution out there
shall not be nasty political ma
chine"
Mr.. Wilson took some of the DEM
ocratic machine campaign speakers
sharply to task for raising the stale
cries of negro domination and negro
Equality in their desperate efforts to
dodge real important issues before the
people.
He appealed TO the sensible men to
whom he was talking. as to their opin
ion of Congressman Stanley. for in
stance, who has been "eating fire" Of
this kind for some weeks.
You men have boards on your
faces he said, what do you think
Of the moral and political condition
of man who says that a vote for
me and my ticket means mixed
schools Must be beneath the con-
tempt of honorable Kentuckians.

The MOSQUITO at Business.

The little insect drops gently and
daintlly down on to the spot it has Sc
lected for its attack, and the descent
of so light and airy a being is likely
to leave the victim unconscious of its
presence unless he has actually seen it
settle. Then. the proboscls2 is pointed
downward and the tiny lips that form
its tip pressed against the flesh. The
bristles within the gutterlike sheath
being then pressed together into one
solid boring implement, their common
tip is forced down on the flesh, and as
they enter the wound the trough in
which they were lying separates. from
them in the middle and becomes bent
toward the insects breast, the two lit
tie lips all the while holding on tight.
The greater part of the length of the
stllettos is then plunged into the vic

a man who was actually hanged. The
CHASTITY spectacle was first exhibited
In cabaret In Montmatre, and, de-
spite its horrors, or rather, on
account of them, it had great sue
cess. A story is told that he once
played the trick in hotel where he
was stopping. He hung himself from
the ceiling after ringing the bell, and
when the waiter entered he was horri-
fled by the sight and rushed down to
inform the proprietor. Before they
returned to the room the man who
was supposed to have hanged himself
had taken up his valise and met them
quietly ON the stairs. Although it
might have been expected that some
day he would hang himself in real
earnest, such a calamity never befell
him.
He died of most commonplace
illuess-the grip-at his home near
Toulon, where he had retired after
earning a considerable fortune on the
stage. He never divulged the secret
of how he produced the extraordinary
rigidity of the muscles of his neck
when he used to perform his feats
of hanging, and carried the mystery
with him to his grave. Doctors
proposed to perform an autopsy on
his body to discover his secret, but
hiS family refused To allow it,

The ThaWS Again.

New York, July 12.-Evelyn Thaw
was to-day accompanied by her moth
er-in-law, Mrs. VIM. Thaw, on her
daily visit to Harry K. Thaw in the
Tombs. Their joint visit was looked
upon as a denial of recent stories that
the Thaw family had cut loose from
the young wife of the slayer of Stand
ford White.
1t was the first visit of the elder
Mrs Thaw to her son in Murderers
Row in more than a month. She ar
rived from Pittsburg yesterday.
The women came at 1918 and re
manned the limit allowed-until 11:45
Neither of them would talk for publ
cation, and they were hurried away in
an automobile.

SOARING IN THE AIR
In a Big Passenger-Carry-
ing Airship
AT THE KENTUCKY STATE FAIR
A Captive Balloon and a Bal
loon Race Will Afford
Pleasure to All.

Recognizing the great interest ev-
erywhere in aerial transportation, the
Kentucky Board of Agriculture, un-
der whose auspices theKentucky State
Fair will be given in Louisville, Sep
TENDER 1921, has just closed a con-
tract with Roy Knabenshue, the first
American to make a successful flight
in an airship, to exhibit at the Fair
his new passenger-carrying airship
and to make from six to twelve flights
during the week Mr.. Knabenshue
agrees not to appear anywhere else in
Kentucky or in Southern Indiana dur
ing the year. He spent several hours
in Louisville recently, inspecting
the new grounds of the State Fair
and in selecting a place for his aer-
odrome, in which the airship would
be inspected when not in flight.
The contract with Mr.. Knabenshue
calls for balloon race during the week
and for the exhibition of captive bal
loon. In the latter passengers will
be carried to a height of 600 feet as
fast as they care to be accommodated.
The passenger-carrying airship will
take up Mr.. knabenshue and two 9TH
er persons at Il time.
MIR. Knabenshue's fame as an aer-
onaut is not confined to the Western
Hemisphere. He is as well known
as Santos Dumont, the famous French
man. His first flight was in October,
1904, at the Louisiana Purchase En-
position at st. Louis.
His passenger-carrying airship will
make only eight appearances in Amer
lea this year. These include Louis
vile, New York, the jamestown EX-
position, Columbus, Des Moines, Grand
Rapids, Nashville and Brockton.
The balloon race and the captive
balloon will divide honors with the
passenger-carrying airship, as some
of the great amusements features of
the Kentucky State Fair. Those who
witnessed the balloon race of July 4,
| 1904, at the ST. Louis Worlds Fair,
will recall the enthusiasm that spread
not only over the II hundred acres
of the Exposition grounds, but over
all of ST. Louis. The captive balloon
will give the visitor who is too timid
to attempt a trip in the passenger
carrying airship, an opportunity to see
How it feels to be up in the air. >
The Board of Agriculture has about
closed negotiations for a big night
spectacle. Either "Vesuvius" or the
Siege of Jericho" will be put on with
grand fireworks display.
The members of the Board have be-
gun to talk about an attendance ag-
gregating a quarter of million dur
ing the Kentucky State Fair. Every
thing points to the most successful
exhibition ever given in the South.

HE HANGED HIMSELF
Many Times---Made Liv-

SHOWMANS STRANGE CAREER
Finally Carried the Mystery
of His Act With Him.
TO the Grave.

There died in Paris the other day
a man whose life may be said to ex-
emplify perfectly all that may be
gained in life if man will but hang
to it. That is, it will exemplify this
to persons OF a particular cast of
thought. To others it may as perfect
ly exemplify all that fails to the mere
hanger-on.

ed--his real name was Simeon Aigu-
Ter, and he was born at Sollies Vile
in 1S51-"le Pendu" made his living
by hanging himself He grew to be
one of the best known of music hall
artists. Unlike Fregoli, who I'M
itates varions personages by sudden
changes of clothes, lie Pendu could
in way transform his body and pos
sessed the most curious physical ad-
capabilities ever known. When a
young man he surprised and puz-
zled the army doctor. AS he pre-
sented himself for physical examina-
ton he appeared as a thin, spare
ribbed fellow. almost a skeleton and
before the examination was over he

physician was examining this abnor-

had, apparently, in an instant trans
formed the swelling from the lower
part of his body to his throat. When
the examination was over he stood
there, a skeleton-like yuong fellow as
before.
His gifts in bodily transformation
soon became known all over his ma
tive district and he was induced to
show himself on the Music Hall
stage. For a long time he was known
as the skeleton man, though he also
exhibited himself as the fat man. His
physical transformations did not stop
here. He was able to initiate the pro-
cess of dying and death itself to per-
lection. Scientists and the members of
various medical faculties often wished
to examine his strange faculties but
he constantly refused to divulge the
secret of his transformations. When
he initiated the state of a dead per-
son he threw himself into perfect
coma. His heart apparently ceased
to beat and the most expert physi-
clans are said to have been unable to
detect life without success, and even
through the stethoscOpe not the slight
est action Of the heart could be per-
ceiyed. The most expert doctors would
have declared him dead, and yet in
the next instant he would jump up
and crack jokes and be as much alive
as any one.

audiences spellbound, was when he
used to hang himself by the neck with
a cord There was no mere make
