THINK GIRL VAS DRUGGED
Re1fUes from Trance Follozcing Ab-
sence, but Mind Is Blank.

Pittsburg, Aug. Miss Clara Konter eighteen
years old, of Shousetown. near here who strange
ly disappeared from her home late on Monday
afternoon and was not again until Wednes-
day morning. when her mother found her uncon-
scous in bed at her home suddenly revived short
ly before noon to-day. The young woman has failed
to recognize members of her family and appar-
emily her mind is blank regarding past incidents
When she regained consciousness she arose from
bed and dressed herself. She was prevented from
leaving the house, which she seemed to want to do
and later seated herself in a rocking chair where
she has remained ever since, reading the Bible and
several other religious books. All attempts of
members of the family to get the girl to talk
futile.
Miss KOnter left her home late on Monday after
noon for the purpose of making a few purchases
either at Shousetown or Pittsburg When she failed
to return on Monday night her family became
alarmed and began search for her. Neighbors
took up the search, without success. Early on
Wednesday morning the distracted mother of the
girl found her lying across the bed of her room
Notwithstanding the fact that physicians worked
day and night in endeavor to bring her back
to consciousness, the girl remained in a coma
tose state until to-day
1t is the opinion of the physicians that some
powerful drug, the nature of which is not known
at present, was administered to the girl.

hurt suffering from burns and bruises caused
by flying debris.

occurred, however, and nearly all of the men es-
capped easily when they heard the explosion al
though almost knocked down by the rush OF air.

AN ELECTRICAL EAR.
The Aurophone to Assist and Restore Hear

After exhaustive experiments in the electrical
field the Mears Ear Phone Company. No 40 Wes

large measure the antiquated devices heretofore
manufactured for the deaf. BY application OF 9
simple principle well known among electricians
this instrument performs excellent work. ana does
so cleverly that ordinary observer the user
may enjoy the fun benefit of its power without
exciting notice. "The Aurophone, for such is the
name of the device" said Mr. Laureau. the presi-
dent of the company, lis the final step in the be-
half of those persons whose hearing is impaired.

disease or accident 1t is not an artificial drum.

serted Mr.. Laureau. he pointed Oul the original
features of the invention and placed it 20 his ear
to give emphasis to his statements in a practical
way.

scientific electrical instrument with concealed bat

the natural manner. and by gently vibrating the
tympanum causes mild massage of the affected
parts frequently restoring them to health and IN
ducing normal hearing.
''In the Aurophone the tone and articulation are
true and clear. There are six standard degrees Of
strength each one of which is embodied in a sep
arate instrument which may be modified. TO suit

larger than ordinary watch, is as sensitive as

adopted after much thought as the best submitted
by our inventors. 1t gathers into one body the
various sound waves. multiplying their forces and
carving them directly to the piece in clear,
round resonant tones that be distinctly heard

Tom and Robert Jones and Joe Riley, were taken
from Jail here early to-day and hanged to a tree

The negroes who were lynched were members of
lodge. and at a meeting recently it is said they
approved of she alleged murder of James Cunning
ham, white farmer by his negro tenant, Rufus
Browder. This murder occurred in the southern
part of Logan County and it is supposed here that

the county.
The negroes had been in fail for several days.
and while there had been considerable unrest since
the attempt the part of the mob to take Brow
der, accused of being the slayer Of Cunningham,

expected and there guard around the
prison The effort to get Browder failed because
he spirited out of Jail by the sheriff and sent
to Bowling Green and later to Louisville, where
he is confined, awaiting trial

the jaer was the only person who saw them close
