SAW THE FIRE ExTINCUISHEH
Presence Of Mind That Prevented
Panic and Loss Of Life
In Opera House.

A case of GOODNESS and nerve that
aVerted a panic is reported from
Towanda, Pa. Keep up that cur
tain; We want to see you put the
fire out" cried a stentorian voice in
the gallery Of Hale's opera house
when at a performance some scenery
caught fire. The order from the
gallery prevented a panic, for the au-
dience of over 200 was on its feet
and women were trying to force
their way out, screaming "Firep A
blaze started in the scenery in the
loft during the second act, and a
stage hand, to prevent it spreading,
threw the burning mass on to the
stage. Scores were ready to rush
for the exits when the command to
keep the curtain up came from the
gallery. Others took up the cry.
There was a laugh, some applause
and the curtain was again raised.
Then the audience sat watching the
actors and stage hands put out the
fire. After the stage was cleared
the play was resumed.

the iercest fight for supremacy

ON his side, praying for a

country, the tool of a despot, and
the champion of the same old
crowd of monopolists, trust adj
vocates and bloated protection
lists. Bryan's success means a
square deal, equal rights to all,
especial privileges to none, and
a peep at the books, so long hid

Taft's success means an empty
dinner pail, panics, more favor
itism towards the interests"

A representative of the Record
was approached yesterday by a
gentleman with the question, rs
it a fact that that the negroes
have taken complete control of
Boonyille, that lawlessness
reigns supreme all over the city,
that it is unsafe for a white man
to go to the town for fear of be-
ing attacked by negroes" etc,
etc. The gentleman asking these
questions is not acquainted
with the conditions in Boonyille,
and he asked for information. In
behalf of justice everyone ac-
quainted with the facts ought to
brand such stories as have been
told to the gentleman referred to
above, as defamatory falsehoods.
Why any man should want to
mislead a stranger in any such
way is beyond our comprehen-
sion. There are some condi-
tions prevailing in the little city
that might be improved upon,
but no such conditions exist as
nave Deen told exlsted.-Pilot
Grove Record.
1t is astonishing how such vile
ISLANDERS as the above will be-
come circulated. We assure our
Pilot Grove friends and others
elsewhere who desire to come to
Boonville that they can do SC
with perfect safety, provided
they are polite and courteous tC
our negro population. When you
meet a congregation OF them or
the sidewalk, step out in the
mud and pass around them, al
ways giving them the best walk
They earned this preference Al
the recent city election and il
would offend the powers that be
to encroach upon their rights
Don't be offended if you SHOULD
be crowded off the walk by
drunken negro, but walk RICH
along and keep your head closed
otherwise you might get run il
and looked up for disturbing the
peace-of the negro. Remembel
always when in Boonville thai
the white man has no rights
which the negro should respect
Follow these instructions care
fully when you come to Boonyill,
and you are in no danger of in
suit or injury. Boonville Ad

Arrangements are D%racticalll

to be the biggest event Of its
kind ever held west of the Mis-.
sissippi River. 1t will consist of
track and field games, participate
ed in by athletes from the most
prominent universities of the
Middle west. 1t is conducted by
the Missouri Valley Intercollegi-
ate Athletic Association, and the
schools which willparticipate are,
Drake University, the State Uni
versities of Iowa, Kansas, Neb-
raska and Missouri, Washington
University at st. Louis, and Iowa
State College. The magnitude
of this meet is surpassed only by
that of two others in the United
States, Pesnnylvania Relay Races,
and the Chicago Conference Meet.
indications are that this year the
Kansas City meet will be the larg-
est of the three. There will be
sixteen events on the program,
which will be participated in by
two hundred and seventy.five
athletes from the schools which
are members of the Association.
Several of these institutions have
in the past participated in the
Chicago Conference meet and
have carried off some of the
honors, and it is highly probable
that this year some of the West
ern college records win be broken.
The meet will be conducted on
the grounds Of the Elm Ridge
club, which are the most desir-
able in this section of the coun-
try. The grounds have a track
onesmile in length, eighty-five
feet wide and four hundred
forty yard straight-away. The
finish of all races will be in front
of a grand stand with a seating
capacity Of some six thousand
persons, which is under shelter
and well equipped for handling
all who desire to attend. This
Meet will rival in Importance
and magnitude the annual
Thanksgiving football game
which has been played annually
in Kansas City for a number of
years and which was taken to st.
Joseph, Mo-, last year. Visiting
delegations are expected from
all of the institutions which are
to compete, and also from all of
the surrounding towns. 1t is
expected that the student bands
of the various institutions will
accompany the crowd of students
who will come, to cheer the
teams on to victory. Special
sections Of the grand stand will
be set apart for each delegation.
The Association will provide
medals in gold, silver and bronze
for winners in individual events,
a banner for the team winning
the relay race, and a solid silver
trophy cup for the team scoring
the highest number Of points in
in the Meet. In addition to
these prizes, the merchants OF
Kansas City viii give various
trophies to winners in individual
events.
The games will be of especial
interest to all athletic enthu-
siasts in this part of the country
not only because of the fact that
the best athletes in the Middle
West will compete, but because
of the further fact that it vii
give an opportunity of seeing
the schools of Iowa and Ne.

interference OF Outsiders

The firemen complain that outsiders
interfered with them at the fire Monday
night and were the cause of Il good deal
of unnecessary damage to Mr.. Dotta's
building. The fire boys We're inside and
had the fire nearly squelched when out
siders threw rocks through the plate
glass windows and smashed them to
flinders. Fearing that the fire had
burned through the ceiling, the chief
ordered IL hole cut through the tin roof
over the fire. While the fremen were
doing this, outsiders rushed onto the
roof with axes and began chopping
holes through the tin roofing. The
parties who threw the rocks through
the windows and chopped holes in the
roofing doubtless thought they were do
ing the right thing, but all they accom-
pliShcd was to damage the building un
necessarily. Had the firemen been let
alone, the building would have been
only slightly damaged.
Another complaint the fire boys make
is that outsiders interfere with the hose
and cause serious delays. Now all of
this is wrong and if continued may re-
suit in IL serious loss Of property. All
the boys ask at fire is for the out
siders to keep their hands off and let
them alone.
1t is impossible for the chief and his
assistant to direct the fight against the
fire and watch the outsiders at the
same time. The only safe way is for
outsiders not to interfere with the fire
men.
Bear this in mind at the next fire and
the fire boys will be happy.
