Returns to His Family After Abb
senCe of Nineteen Months.

Robert Wood, who formerly resided
IN this city, mysteriousy disappeared
from his home on the night of Febru-
airy z, 1906, and just as mysteriously
walked in on his wife, Mrs. Claypole
Wood, and his two children, at the res
idence of Mrs. DR.. Margaret c. Wood,
few days ago. There was much re-
ioicing as the truant husband made
his appearance.
Mr.. Wood was brakeman of the
Louisville & Nashville railroad and
was happily residing with his little
family on South Main street. On the
night of his disappearance as above
referred to, he affectionately kissed
his wife and little ones and left to go
out on his regular trip to Corbin, KY,
and was due as was his custom to re-
turn the second day. Failing to show
up, his wife made inquiries of his
whereabouts without the slightest in
formation that could account for his
absence. Days, weeks and months
went by and no tidings of the absent
husband and father came to relieve the
worry of the almost distracted woman.
The aid of railroad officials and the
detective department of the road made
every effort to solve the problem of
Mr.. Woods absence, but without avail.
Section men along the road from Paris
to Corbin were required to make
search for his body as it was believed
he met his death by being thrown from
his train. No tidings came of the
many efforts to solve the mystery,
when family and friends began to re-
alize that he had possibly met with
foul play.
Without the aid and support of her
husband. Mrs. Wood was compelled to
seek employment and found a home as
housekeeper. When Mr. Wood arrived
in Paris from California, where he
holds like position with a western
railroad, he was informed of his fam
ily's whereabouts and going to the
home was met at the door by his little
daughter, who recognizing her father,
clasped him about the neck and cried
"Oh Papa" Mr.. Wood, who will re-
turn to California with his family, de-
clined to explain the cause of his long
absence.

"ParSifa1."

1t was in the year of 1857 that the
immortal Richard Wagner first con-
ceived his idea relating to the grand
possibilities contained in the legend of
the Holy GraiP' for a wonderful
spectacle and drama. 1t was not until
twenty-five years later, namely 1882,
that his idea was carried out to his
satisfaction and the world was given
the glorious work of "Parsifal" simply
as dramatic production, but was in
duced later to change his mind and
produce it in combination music form.
By his so doing, the world gained two
grand productions instead of one. 1t
will forever remain as the grandeSt of
all music compositions. 1t will surely
stand for all time as the grandeSt
drama ever written. 1t requires a
trained mind, a cultivated musician
to enjoy the music of Wagner. One
must thoroughly understand thing to
equally enjoy it. But the simplest tyro
in dramatic experience can understand
the exquisite story of ''Parsifal" and
understanding, cannot fail to enjoy it.
1t is this very quality, simplicity, of
the story, and plot, that endears the
play of "ParSifaP' to the hearts and
souls of all those who witness it.
There are no social problems Ito dis
sect, neither are there any intricate or
mysterious actions seen on the part of
any of the characters in the play. But
as spectacle that appeals to the
visual senses, as play that in its very
naturalness, soulful heart interest,
absorbing and thrilling plot that bring
the color to the cheeks with healthy
excitement thar nI1IckenS the heart 6
action with every ennobling instinct
and interest watching the gradual
unfolding of the beautiful story, it
stands without peer in the dramatic
armament. Such is "Parsifal. the
play that required quarter of cen
fury of its authors genius life to make
it what it is teday-the drama of the
world.
The "Parsifal' engagement here is
for one performance at the Grand,
Monday. September %.
This company is now playing at Nc
Cauley's Theatre, Louisville.

Young Thief Caught With the
Goods On Him.

Carries Alvin Dunakin, boy Is years
of age, entered Mr.. Richard Darnaby' s
big general store, on South Main, at IL
O'Clock Wednesday. and asked Mr..
Darnaby if he could get drink of
water. The proprietor gave his con-
sent and the boy walked to the rear
of the room and besides getting his
drink picked up a shot sack laying in
the open safe and walked out the front
door.
Mr.. Darnaby was busy in the front
at the time and in few minutes,
when he looked for his sack of money,
found it missing. He had just counted
the money, there being SOB. 90 in the
sack.
The officers were notified at once,
Chief Hill also telephOning Chief
Ragan at Lexington, giving a descrip-
ton of the boy and telling him to
watch the interurban car that was then
about due in Lexington. Captain
Brown and Dudley Veal, of the Lex
ington detective force, found the boy
on the car as directed, and found 500
of the stolen money on his person.
Officer Veal brought the boy to Paris
on the 3 o'clock interurban car, and
he was at once given trial before
Judge Dundon. The boy stated that
he was a newsboy and lived in Licking
ton, and had been visiting his uncle
VIM. Moore. of the Centerville neigh
borhood, and that he had come to Paris
with hisIuncle to sell wagon load.of
watermelons. He ackno Wledged TAX
ing the money and said he did not
know why he did it. The Lexington
officers knew him well and stated he
had been in. the reform school twice
and was now out on parole.
Judge Dundon sentenced him to the
Reform School for six years. He was
very bright youngster and tried to
persuade Judge Dundon to give him
another chance, but of no avail, as
proof showed he would not take the
chances already given him. His moth

The Big Republican Gun.

Hon. Augustus E. Wilson, Repuhli-
can candidate for Governor, spoke at
the court house in this city, Tuesday,
at .. M, to a fairly good-size audi
ence, there being a number of ladies.
When it comes to putting on "salve''
in a very smooth manner Mr.. Wilson
is entitled to the championship. His
speech was a very adroit one from a
Republican candidate, but with all nf
his persuasive talk we have not been
able to find a single Democrat who
heard him, and we have talked with
about all of them who were present,
that he convinced that Augustus E.
Wilson would make any better or as
near as good Governor of Kentucky
as S. w. Hager.
He is polished gentleman and has
nothing to say that would wound the
feelings of the most fastidious Demo-
erat, his ''salve" is used freely on the
Democrats, the ProhiDitionists and the
'cullud" folks. His cause though is
bad one and the people of Paris and
Bourbon county, while they have moth
ing against Mr.. Wilson. they cannot
bear the idea Of voting for Republi-
can-tbere is something nauseating
about it you know. We keep pretty
we'll posted in this section and the rec
ords of both parties can be read in
another part of this issue-that is
enough to satisfy anybody that the old
Democratic flag is the only one to float
over the Capital of Kentucky.

she has done the job but she does not
like to work when she is cold chilly
