II Is probable that no attraction
booked TO appear at the Kentucky
theater has created more talk and
excitement as the engagement of
Galvani. the great hypnotist. who has
been secured for two nights, com
mencing Tuesday November %.
Prior TO the opening date he will
place a man in a hypnotic sleep in
the window of w. #. Miller a. Bro. at
1880 p. m. and from the same store
at $3.50 he will make his desperate
bindfolded carriage drive. In this
drive Galvani, while securely blind
folded. drives a team OF spirited
horses at breakneck speed. locates a
number OF different articles which
have previously been hidden by a
committee OF prominent local citi-
zens and returns these articles to the
places from which they have been
taken.

LARGE SALES OF
BURLEY TOBACCO
Deal For the 1906 and 1907
Crops Concluded.
Will Put Near $f4.OOO.OOO I'm Cash
In Central and Eastern
Kentucky.
NO CROP RAISED THIS YEAR.

Louisville, Ky, Nov. 20.-The big
deal between the American Tobacco
company and the Burley Tobacco so
ciety for the 1906 ard part of the
1907 crops OF tobacco, which has been
hanging fire here for several weeks,
was closed. The price agreed upon
in the transaction, the largest of its
kind ever put through Is an average
of 201s cents for the 1906 crop and
II cents per pound for the 1907 pro-
duct.
The deal involves nearly S0.000,-
900 pounds OF tobacco held in pool
by the Burley Tobacco so iety and an
outlay of something like S14 900 900
on the part of the American Tobacco
company, practically all o fthis mon
ey being placed in circulation at once
in central Kentucky. The tobacco
sold includes the larger part of that
held by the Burley Growers associa-
ton which was formed several years
ago and which pooled its crops in
loo and 1907.
The deal was the result of the bur-
lew growers action In raising no
crop this year. In fact the growers
have received no money from tobacco
in three years, so the large sum of
money represents not extraordinary
profits, but the money of which the
planters have been deprived for three
years. There being no crop this year
the law OF supply and demand oper-
ated in favor of the planters. From
the profits must be deducted interest
on the money tied up in tobacco since
1906 and interest on money planters
and others have been compelled to
borrow during the three years, the
loss of wealth during that time to
the hurley country and damage re-
sulting from the situation.
According to many who are In a
position to know, 'he sale of the pool
ed crop marks the end of night rid
ing in central and eastern Kentucky
for the present at least, for II Is be-
lieved with these crops out of the
way all growers will raise tobacco
next year.
The sale has nothing to do with
the crops Of the dark district of the
western part OF Kentucky and north
ern Tennessee.

News of Theatres
elena Rivers"

When Nixon q company decided to
put out production of Lena
Rivers" jramatized from Mrs. Mary
J. Holmes novel. they Immediately
engaged Miss Beulah Poynter TO
make the book into play form. Miss
Poynter made a careful study OF the
book and then decided to visit the
scenes of the book, as the story is a
true one in a great many respects.
Believing that she could get so much
better conception by actually know
ing the locale" OF the play and see
ing the class of people which the
story is written around. she spent
one-half her summer at the little viii
lage OF Slocumyille, Mass. and the
balance near Frankfort, Ky, where
Lena grew up and spent the balance
Of her life after leaving Sloeumville.
Miss POINTER seemed to write the
play with almost reverence, and the
fact that she so thoroughly under
stood the characters is the cause Of
much favorable criticism. At The

FRAUDS IN TESTIMONIALS
~. BY MEDICAL FIRMS
but some Are Gennine--A Signiii-
cant Case OF Eczema.

But Some Are Gennine-A signiii-
cant Case Of Eczema.
HOW do medical firms secure the
testimonials which you frequently
see In print?
This Is question which no doubt
every reader of The Sun has occa-
sionally asked himself
Well, testimonials are obtained In
various ways. Some are undoubted-
liy not sincere; they are written by
friends of advertisers or by en-
ployees. IL is alleged that I'm some
cases testimonials are even paid FOR
"a species OF bribery which can not
be condemned too highly.
But contrary to general opinion,
liz is a fact that at least large num-
Der Of testimonials are genuine and
sincere. They are usually given by
people who feel so grateful for a
cure that they allow their names to
be used We ourselves know OF
more than one case where a man or
woman naturally averse to publicity
was so overjoyed at finding the right
kind Of medicine that the cured pa
tent consented to the use Of his
name in print.
A typical case of this klnd-oi
special interest to eczema sufferers
lis that of Robert Sussman, of To-
ledo, Ohio. Mr.. Sussman is n well
known furrier In Toledo, and for
years he suffered with o severe case
|of eczema.
He described his case as almost
uncomfortable. About five years ago
he was induced to try the oil of win
tergreen compound known as d. d.
ID. Prescription for eczema sufferers.
He has gone out OF his way to find
sufferers and TO tell them OF this
remedy. He has done this without
pay, of course, and without even ha~.
ing been requested to do so by the
ID. ID. ID. Company. II was simply
the fact that his health, his very life,
had been restored that made him so
enthusiastic. We have recently had
another letter from Mr. Sussman in
which he offers to write to any &c
zema sufferer and to describe his
case. II any reader of this paper
should write Mr.. Sussman, We re-
quest that self-addressed stamp en-
velope be enclosed.
Speaking of his own case, Mr..
Sussman says:
"Six years of Intense suffering
from a severe case OF eczema to b.
given up as incurable by sixteen doc
tors, several OF whom were special
lists of skin diseases, and then TO
have tried every known medicine
for my ailment without effect, and
finally to procure absolute relief and
permanent cure from a new rem
edy, is an experience that justifies
my action in making II known TO the
public; and I feel that II is my duty
to give 1t as much publicity as pos
sible, so that other sufferers may be
relieved. My sympathy goes out to
those who have to go through what ]
did"
