THRILLERIs FRIGHTFUL
Automobile Turns Two Rev
olutions High In Air.

Those who thirst for unusual ex-
scitement will get it in allopathic dos
es if they visit Ringing Brothers
Worlds Greatest Shows when it
comes to Hopkinsville on Thursday
Oct. l. The thriller extraordinary"
of this seasons brilliant program is
Miss La Belle Roche's double sum-
mersault in mid-air in heavy auto
mobile. 1t will completely satisfy
and outreach the most morbid mag
ination.
There is nothing about this act
that in the slightest degree resem-
bles thrillers of the past. 1t reaches
a point of daring and danger that
would frighten the bicycle and auto
mobile somersaulters Of former sea-
sons out of the circus business. It's
the first instance of two complete
revolutions in space accomplished by
one automobile.
From the dome of the tent down a
slender metal track the heavy mach
inc, thrObbing and straining at every
rivet, plunges with lightning speed
and the crash of thunder. The end
ing of the incline in an abrupt curve
lifts the auto high in air, the plucky
young woman firmly clutching the
guiding wheel. There is pause of
death-like stiffness after the ponder
Gus car has left the steel rails. Spec
tators, strained spines and tingling
scalps, almost freeze to their seats,
so keen is the suspense, so awful the
dread of that brief moment.
Once the machine turns a perfect
circle. Not stir is heard among
the audience. Breaths are held in
fear of what may follow. Again the
automobile turns completely over,
and then with the crash Of thunder
bolt it lands upright on steel rum
way and plunges into the track to
spend its terrific force, the young
Frenchwoman at the wheel smiling
with triumph. The pent-up emotion
of the audience vests itself in hys-
terical applause from the women
and shouts of admiration from the
men.
This is the climax of the brightest,
and most novel and the strongest !
circus program ever presented any
where on earth. With an entire
new parade, new spectacle and an
enlarged menagerie also in evidence, !
the public is assured a perfect circus
day when the Ringing Brothers ar
rive.

camphor TO Break Up a Cold.


One of the most efficient remedies for
breaking up a cold during its earliest
stage is camphor When the eyes be-
gin to water and there is the accom-
panying tingling Of the nose and feel
ing Of chilllness, place three drops Of
camphor on lump of loaf sugar and
place the sugar in the mouth. Repeat
this every fifteen minutes till four or
five doses have been taken At the
same time place the feet where they
will become thoroughly warm This
will usually prove effectual in break
ing up cold if the camphor is taken
at its very beginning. For child but
one drop should be placed upon the
sugar and five or six doses admins
tered.-Health.

Impressive Ceremonies Held
BY Pythian Knights at
Lexington.
OVER 1000 PRESENT.
Grand Chancellor Geo. D.
Young, of Louisville, Deliv-
ers Chief Address.

Lexington, KY, Sept. 21.-The
Widows and Orphans Home for the
cherished ones of departed members
of the order of Knights of Pythias
in Kentucky was formally dedicated
with impressive ceremonies yester-
day afternoon. This Home is locat-
ed on the beautiful farm that was
known as The Elms, about three
miles from Lexington. on the Har-
! rodsburg road, and represents an
expenditure by the lodge members
Of approximately $4,000.
Over 1000 people, including the
Pythians, were present at the dedi-
cation. The ceremonies began with
a parade of the Knights of Pythias,
which formed at 11:30 and moved
through the streets at noon, with
about 5000 uniformed men in line,
headed by Brigadier General j. E.
McCracken, of Covington, and the
Grand Lodge officers. The parade |
reached the Home at l o'clock, and |
an hour was spent at dinner on the
grounds.
The dedicatory ceremonies began
at o'clock, with a musical prelude
and the singing of my Country,
'Tis of Thee by the assemblage.
The dedicatory address was made by
Grand Chancellor George D. Young
of Louisville, and was followed by a
solo by Miss Mabel Sallee. Presi-
dent Emmett Orr, of the Board of
Directors of the Home, delivered an
address, in which he told of the cre-
alton of the fund, the building of
the Home and the plans for the fu-
ture. The children of the Home
sang a song, and Col. Henry deliver
ed an address. Mrs ]. H. Staples
sang a solo and the Rev. j. w. Nor
rison pronounced the benediction.
The fortieth annual session of the
Grand Lodge, Kentucky Knights of
Pythias, convened in the Auditorium
at 10 o'clock to-day, and will con-
tinue two days, possibly three. Grand
Chancellor George D. Young pre-
sides. There are representatives
from IT'S subordinate lodges in the
State, and the various uniform ranks
present.
Coincident with the assembling of
the Grand Lodge the Pythian Sisters
commenced their fifth annual ses-
sion and the various companies of
the uniform rank began their an
nual encampment on the Home
grounds, where the features are the
regimental parades and competitive
prize drills for both the members of
the uniform rank and the subordi-
nate lodges.
Aside from the genuine routine
business, election of officers, etc,
perhaps the most important question
to come up for consideration at the
session is the proposition looking to
the enlargement Of the Home by |
the addition of two new dormitories !
and the appropriation of $25, 900 for |
this purpose.
Two new members of the Board !
of Control of the Pythian Home are
also to be elected at this session to
succeed Messrs. r. M. Hunter, of
Nicholasville, and Lucian H. Davis,
Of Hopkinsville. o. H. Pollard, of
Jackson, the present Vice Chancel-
or, will be elected to the office of
Grand Chancellor.

Killed a Deer.

On Tuesday Game Warden w. F..
Givens brought down five young fell
lows from the head Of Williams Fork
and took them before Justice San
derson with the charge of having
killed a deer out OF season. They
were: Willie White, Oliver Taylor,
Leon Breeze, Willie Gerrish and v.
r. Tucker, and reside ut Craig and
vicinity. An affidavit was filed in
which it was shown that all the boys
were minors and thereupon the case
was transferred to the county court.
Young Tucker pleaded guilty and
Judge Shervin imposed the usual $25
and costs upon him; the others were
discharged. Fine and costs being
settled, on Wednesday the game
warden took the youngsters back
to the Williams Fork country where
they had been camped.
They say that the deer killed was
an unusually large one, and Rube
Ball bought it for $25. AS result,
venison dinners were the attraction
at the Meeker hotel for few days
this week.
