The lecture course.


In its issue of last week the News
| briefly mentioned the fact that
through the enterprise of Mrs.
Guy Atkinson another entertain,
ment course has been secured for
the season of 1912. Our people
remember with pleasure the high
class features OF the course of
19l0-ll, and the News is glad to
assure the citizens of Louisa that
the list of the numbers selected for
the coming course contains some
most excellnet attractions. In fact
1t may be truthfully said that the
entire course is equal to that of
fered in cities OF ten times the
size of ours, and which costs in
some instances third more than
what season ticket will cost for
the numbers secured by Mrs. Atkin-
son. AS the News said last week,
the opening attraction will be pre-
sented November 10, three days af-
ter the election, affording addition
al pleasure to these in the rob
ings of glory" and a solace and
balm to the feelings of those in
the gloom of defeat!"
The management will present on
that occasion the Marguerite Smith
Company. Miss Smith is the orig
inator OF the famous child imper-
sonations, and is the greatest
exponent of that art. The pianist
OF the Marguritte Smith Company IS
Miss Edith Rhetts. Please notice
that it is not Miss Edythe. She is
from one OF the best musical
schools in the Middle West and is
a performer of ability. The singer
is Miss Olive Smith, contralto

PLAYS FRANKS IN HIS AERO
lood Circles Tall Buildings and Has
Fun at Washington.

Iashington, July 14.-Presdent Taft
II eived his aerial visitor shortly be-
fore 8 o'clock today. The president
stood on the rear porch of the white
house as Aviator Harry N. Atwood of
Boston, after circling the Washington
monument flew directly into the white
house grounds and landed on the
grassy lawn, a short distance from
the portco. Alighting from the ma
chine, Atwood walked to where the
president stood and was presented by
him with a gold medal from the Aero
Club of Washington.
Washington, July 14.-Harry n. At
wood, the Boston aviator, flew over
the city in his aeroplane, played aerial
pranks with the Washington monu-
ment, circled tall buildings, had fun
with an army of automobiles, bicycles,
pedestrians and police by pretending
to land at various points in Potomac
park and finally, after a series of
sweeping circles near the capitol, soar
ed in the gathering dusk to the army
aviation field at College Park, Md,
whence he had come.
The trip will be followed by another
today, when Atwood will land near
the white house and receive the medal
from the Washington Aerial society.

lowed his circling the monument. AT
ter wheeling thrice around the big
shaft he sped away in the direction of
the Virginia hills. Turning sharply
the aviator drove his aeroplane direct
| ly at the top Of the monument as
though he intended to knock off the
aluminium top, and when almost di
rectly over the apex, he shut off his
motor and came sliding down. The
crowd and police who had been de-
coyed to the river bank, made rush
back toward the monument but At
wood, laughing, turned on his engine
again and swept back directly over
their heads. After number of com
plicated evolutions he turned the nose
of his plane toward the Maryland field

ARTHUR SEE IS GUILTY
Founder of Absolute Life CUT, Con-
!icted by Jury on One Ballot.


Ticted by Jury on One Ballot.
Chicago, July 14.-Evelyn Arthur
See, founder of the absolute life cult,
the chief tenet of which was said to
be the establishment of a perfect
race, was found guilty of the abduc-
ton of Mildred Bridges, the 17-year-
old disciple of the cult. The jury was
out only forty-five minutes and is said
to have taken but one ballot. The
statute fixes the penalty at from one
to ten years in the penitentiary.
The jury also returned a verdict of
guilty of contributing to juvenile de-
linquency, which had ben incorporated
in the abduction charge. They were
instructed to retire and return with
a single verdict.
Counsel for See offered the claim
that the return of two verdicts neces-
STATED a new trial and made an i'm
mediate appeal for re-trial of the
case.
