A Surprising Notice.

Two city pastors exchanged pul-
pist. One was handsome young
minister, the other an elderly one,
says Mack's Monthly The organist
at the elderly minister's church was
an ambitious young lady who wished
to make a good impression on the
young visiting pastor.
Now the sexton who blew the or
gan for the young lady was in the
habit of stopping when he thought
the voluntary had been long enough.
To avoid such an awkward ending
on this occasion, she wrote him a
little note and handed 1t to him.
Supposirg II an announcement for
the pulpit, the sexton, in spite of the
young lady's frantic gestures. hand
ed 1t to the young pastor.
This is what he read: "Will you
kindly keep blowing away this
morning until give you the signal
to quit"

DASH ACID IN EYES OF THE
MOTHER.

Abductors Make Escape i'm
Automobile.

Stanfort, KY Aug. 20.-A bold
attempt was made to kidnap the one
gear-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Eads, a prominent young Lincoln
county couple, by well dressed
man and woman of unknown ident-
ity, who suddenly appeared at the
Eads home. five miles in the coun.
try. at noon yesterday in a big vel
low automobile.
After the man had ascertained
that Mr.. Eads was not at home the
woman sought the hospitality of the
house on the plea that she had de
cided to rest while her husband at
tended to some BUSINESS down the
road.
The stranger when invited in the
room where the baby was asleep
picked the child up and as she did
Is quickly fumbled at a hand bag
which hung on her left arm. The
mother became alarmed at the wom-
ans actions and reached for the
baby and caught its dress.
Meanwhile the stranger pulled a
small vial out of a handbag and as
the mother caught hold of the child
the stranger dashed the contents of
the bottle into her face. The pain
was severe and Mrs. Eads could
hardly see, but in a frenzy she pulled
the baby away from the strange
woman and in agony ran through
the kitchen out of a rear door to the
cabin of negro couple some dis
lance away The negro woman was
at home and fearing for her small
playing on the floor
bolted the door, and not until her
husband returned home an hour
later. was the alarm given and as
slstance for the injured woman sum-
moned.
Mr.. Eads came quickly but no
trace of the would-be kidnapers
could be seen. The woman had hur-
ried away when she saw her plan
had failedn A physician who ex-
Mrs. Eads' injuries soon
found her left eye had
received most Of the contents of the
bottle.
He pronounced II solution of
hydrochloric acid diluted sufficiently
TO have blinded Mrs. Fades temper
arily until her baby could be spirited
away, but not strong enough to per-
impair her sight.

Should Bear In Mind That Nomination Papers For Township Officers Must Be Filed
Knock Out the Lockers.

The Supreme Court of the state
last week rendered a decision in
the now famous Topeka Club case
which puts the "locker system, +"
by means of which this club and
other social organizations have
been evading the prohibitOry law,
out of business. Justice Graves
wrote the opinion. He says that {
club that maintains a "locker sys-
tem," where the members who
own the lockers can 60 and par
take of intoxicating drinks, and
also invite friends along for the
same purpose, is in violation of
the law because it is a place
where intoxicating beverages are
kept for use. The court also held
that the express purpose of the
prOhibitOry law was to prevent
the illegal sale of liquors, and tha
the provision that such liquors
should not be received or kept
for use as beverage" was to aid
the law, and the manner in which
this club and other similar clubs
were conducted was therefore in
violation Of the laws of the state
on this subject.

Quarantine the Chinch Bugs.

If you would stop the chlnch
bugs getting into your corn from
the wheat fields, which they are
deserting now, listen to E. o. G.
Kelly, the government entOmolo-
gist. and act accordingly. Mr..
Kelly says:
"The chinch bugs have begun to
leave the wheat fields and it is
necessary for the farmers to keep
the mout of the corn. The dust
path is a good way if the wealth
er stays dry. This path should be
made between the corn and the
wheat and it will require almost a
constant dragging to keep the
dust in proper shape to hold the
bugs back.
"The tar line will be very ef-
fectlve against the Dugs. Inc way
to put out this line is to fix a
smooth path between the wheat
and corn and p.ur out a fine line
of tar, or throw two burrows to-
gether smoothing them down and
then mt on the tar. A very fine
line of tar is all that is necessary,
then about every fifty feet make
a post hole about l foot deep to
catch the bugs. When the hole
is full of bugs pour kerosene In
to kill the bugs. Crude petrole-
um will be as good to use as tar.
"It will not be safe to depend
on,the disease to kill out the bugs
70 rit is killing them very slowly
this week, and this has been a
good time for it to get In its
work" "

received bad cut on the hip
while swimming last Saturday.
There were several boys in the
party. 1t seems that he sat down
on a piece of broken bottle or
something, inflicting a very deep

taken home, but was very weak
from loss of blood when medical
aid reached him. The wound
was stitched up and he is doing
as well as it is possible for him
to do.
