WAS CERTAINLY
A CLOSE CALL

An incident that might have resulted
in the sudden ending of valuable hui
man life occurred in the commissioners
room during the inquiry Yesterday fore
noon into the death of Charles F. Boyd.
Capt. Grissinger, the post surgeon, was
explaining how it were possible the
wound that caused the mans death
may have been self inflicted. With
the pistol supposed to have been used
in the fatal shooting-a .4l-he illus
trated how the weapon could have been
held in the right hand with the thumb
on the trigger and the work of self
murder accomplished. The witness
poised the pisto! carefully and snapped
it twice at the spot in his own breast
corresponding to the wound in Boyd's.
He continued his testimony with the
pistol in his hand to better explain the
movements OF the muscles of the arm
and chest in case the weapon had been
held at various elevations and angles.
Suddenly Juror William Corning
reached forward, took the pistol,
"broke'' it, and extracted loaded
she'll from one of the chambers. In
watching the doctors gestures the
juror had caught a glimpse OF the rim
of the cartridge. Proceedings contin-
ued as if nothing out of the ordinary
had happened; but there was none
present who did not feel that a most
deplorable accident was narrowly
missed.
1t was thought the shells had beer
extracted. Ooc had been overlooked.

OPENING TOMORROW NIGHT

Quite an important event of
this week will be the fall opening
of the Woman's Store. This
store has been recently repaired
and two stories added with all
the modern equipment, including
elevators, etc. The proprietor,
Mr.. Emmett Leigh. realized that
his business had out grown its
quarters and set to work to have
more room, and with that end in
view has acquired a spacious
store well equipped in every.way.
But the most attractive thing is
the large stock that will be dis
played beginning on Friday
evening of this week when the
opening will be the most elabo-
rate affair of the kind ever wit
messed in Columbus. A whole
page advertisement in today's
paper will give some idea of the
rich display that awaits the fem
mime shoppers of this section.

The Great McEwsn.

Far the past forty years the
Great McEwen has been known
in the magic circles as the Mas
ter Magician, and his entertain
ments are entirely different from
any other and he has actually
struck out into an entirely new
field of conjuring. He has dis
covered also some new princi-
pies of great enjenuty which
enables him to build up many
mystifying effects and creations
unknown to any magician. Not
only in pure ledgerdemain Nc
Even shows his wonderful work,
but in the larger field of Illusions
he shows a master mind which
gives birth to many mystifying
productions that has made the
McEwen performances renowned
in almost every country on the
globe. Seemingly endowed with
magic power he unlocks the
secrets of the super-nature
sphere while optic effects lend
their help in the invention and
complexion of his many marvel
Gus creations. So to McEwen
must be awarded the laurel
wreath as the most original and
artist of the pres
ent century. McEwen is the
most famous of all hypnotists,
also the worlds foremost mind
reader and will present here the
most astounding performance
ever given. Miss Florence Hart

JEWISH NEW YEAR
ROSH HASHONAH
FITTINGLY OBSERVED HERE
NEW YEAR BEGAN AT SUhDOWN MON
DAY ANO WAS CELEBRATED BY THE
HEBREW PEOPLE OVER THE WORLD

Rash Hashonah, the Jewish
New Year, began at sundown on
Monday evening and was fitting
| ly observed by the Hebrew peo-
pie of Columbus. Their places
of business were closed and ap-
propriate services were held in
Temple B'Nai Israel.
Rosh Hashonah is kept ac-
cording to the Scriptures on the
first day of the seventh month of
Tishri. In some congregations
one day is added. In the sew
enth month on the first day of
the month. shall We have rest, a
day of memorial of sounding the
horn, a holy convocation, is one
of the passages of Scripture
authorizing its observance.
The Biblical name of the feast
is Day of the Trumpet, and its
object is self-examination of the
conduct, and thorough repent
ance. The blowing of the trum-
pet was a practice in ancient
Israel. observed on joyful occa-
sions, as we'll as at times of Sc
rious apprehension. The trum-
pet was sounded at the return of
every new MONDAY, in connec-
ton with the offering of sacri-
fees. at festive occasions, and at
war times, for the purposes of
directing the hearts of the peo-
pie to God. Other names for
the feast of Rosh Hashonah are:
DAY of Memorial" and DAY
Of Judgment. =
The character of a New Year
celebration is of later date than
the Biblical era. 1t is thought
the new feature Of interest was
added to the first day of Tishri
after the return of the Israelites
from the Babylonian captivity,
so that Tishri became the Jewish
civil New Year. Through this
double character. the solemnity
of the feast was heightened, and
is sanctifying power enhanced. :"

COTTON ADVANCES
IN FUTURE MARKET
ACTIVE MONTHS SHOWED GAINS
THE REPORT OF THE CENSUS BUREAU
WHICH WAS ISSUED MONDAY SHOWED
DECREASE OVER LAST YEAR

New York, Oct. 3.-There was
sharp advance in the cotton
market today following the pub
lication of the last government
condition report for the season
and the active months showed
gains of from 80 to 81 points as
compared with Saturdays clos
ing figures within ten minutes
after the report was issued.
The market had opened firm,
at an advance of 8 to II points on
reports that the Lancashire la
Dor troubles had been settled and
while there was heavy realizing
on this advance, the market re-
fiected the confidence of bull
leaders by holding within five or
six points of the early high fig
ures until the government re-
port came out, when all months
made new high records for the
season.
The condition reports was 65.9,
compared with 72.1 last month
and 58.5 last year, so that on its
face it suggested a considerably
larger crop than last season, but
owing to the late maturity of
this years crop extreme bulls
seem able to reconcile the conli-
ton figures with private crop
estimates placing the yield
around II, 900, 600 bales.
The report of the census bu-
reau, which was issued at the
opening, showed 2,302, 000 bales
ginned to Sept 25. as against
2,568, 600 last year but this re-
port had no apparent influence
on the market.
Reactions of fran Is to p
points occurred during the after
noon. but there was a big de-
mand on every set back and the
market closed at a net advance
OF 20 to 30 points.

HORROR OCCURS ON
TRACTION LINE
TWO CARS DASH TOGETHER
THIRTY SEVEN PEOPLE KILLED AND
TWENTY SIX INJURED WHILE en-
ROUTE TO ST. LOUIS.

Springfield. H., October 4. Fl
A report says 81 persons were
killed and 26 were injured to-
night when two interurban cars
on the Illinois Traction system
collided head-on at a curve at
the bottom of two hills. The
motormen barely escaped by
jumping.
Both cars were demolished and
the collision occurred between
local train No. IA, northbound,
and an excursion train, No. 73.
headed toward st. Louis, sand
loaded with passengers on their
way to view the parade of the
Yelled Prophets at st. Louis.
The accident, according to the
present information, was due en-
tirely to the disregard of orders
by the crew of local No. Il.
which was in charge of M. A.
Leonard, conductor, and John
Herman of Staunton, the motor
man.
Train No. IA had orders to
pass train No. 73 at StauntOn.
The latter train was running in
two sections and the orders given
to No. IA were explicit that
it should pass both sections of
the southbound train at Staun-
ton.
The first section of No. % had
passed when the crew of No. IA
pulled out on the main track and
started north. At a sharp turn
in the road. called Dickerson's
curve, which is two miles north
of this place, the two trains
came together in a splintering
crash.
