HISTORIC CAMPAIGN
Unique Incidents That Will Live
in History

The campaign which closed with
last Tuesdays election was history
making in several particulars.
Many incidents, unique and inter
esting, out of the ordinary, and
history-making occurred that will
live and come up for review in the
discussions of future campaigns.
The entrance Of Theodore Roose-
welt into the race in the manner
he did, and the vigorous and char
acteristic campaign he made forms
a. unique incident of the campaign
that will live in history.
The shooting Of Roosevelt while
making the canvass and while in
the act Of going to the place Of
speaking, and bis determination to
Gil the appointment and doing So,

more in length with a pistol ball

RESERVOIR BREAKS
Portions of Nashville Swept by
Flood Of Water

| The big reservoir that furnishes
Nashville with water burst last
Monday night and the water swept
every obstacle in its path. The
wall is thirty-fye, feet high and
thirty-three feet thick and the
reservoir contained 26,000,000 gal
Ions of water. About one hundred
and seyenty-6ye feet Of this wall
gave way. The tremendous rush
OF water could be heard for miles.
The reservoir gave way about
1910 o'clock, according the state
ments made By people living in the
vicinity, and bore down upon the
houses with a roar that could be
heard for great distance. Not
knowing what had occurred, no
one Fentufed out, and IN a moment
all were precipitated into the icy
waters.
Three houses were swept from
their foundation, the occupants be-
ing carried along BY the rushing
water, As soon as the residences
found lodging against adjoining
houses, the occupants made their
way as best they could from the
debris and were give succor BY
adjoining neighbors.
The water did great damage to
property and it was a great won
der that many lives we're not lost.

The trip to Lebanon has been
made and the boys are all back in
COCO spirits and condition. Though
81 to 2 looks like quite a beating.
it must be borne in mind that
Castle Heights outweighed our
team nearly if not quite thirty
pounds to the man. Against this
overwhelming weight Huntingdon
played steady football, and for the
first quarter held the score even.
Indeed by the admission Of the
Lebanon men themselves rather
outplayed their adyersaries. Tie
difference ii physical power was
too great, however, to keep this
up indefinitely.

ipated. Watch the hand-bills for
the hour. Usual admission except
that ladies will be admitted free.

of our country.
While there have been three
cornered presidential contests be-
fore, there has been no one in re-
cent years in which interest was
SO equally centerd in the leading
candidates. Allthree Of the presi-
dental candidates attracted atten-
ton and had around them their
peculiar interests and following
that held them out to public view
in a way of peculiar interest to
themselves.

Wednesday night, it seems that
| Wilson will have right around 400
electoral votes; Roosevelt, 100;
Taft, Ii; those Of Idaho Vermont
and Utah-while the AS votes of
Iowa, Minnesota, New Hampshire,
South Dakota and Wyoming re-
main in the doubtful class.
No efforts have been made to
compute the popular vote for the
presidential candidates. In the
majority Of states, however, the
vote was larger than at any pre-
yious presidential election; and the
final returns on the actual number
Of ballots cast for the three candl-
dates is expected to exceed all
records.
The defeat Of President Taft,
the division Of the republican vote
between Taft and Roosevelt and
the consequent division Of repub-
lican organizations, resulted inl
complete democratic victories inI
many states. In New York the
democrats carried tine leglsla-
ture. In Illinois the democratic cam
didate for governor has apparently
carried the state. Democratic sem
ators appear certain as successors
to republicans from Colorado, New
Jersey, Delaware, Montana and
several other states.
Governor Ben w. Hooper is re-
elected governor Of Tennessee By
between 5000 and 5000 votes.
This seems certain, although the

CURTAIN HELD.


An amusing yet somewhat serious
incident occurred at the Colonial
Theatre last night, which is afording
the members of the Chauncey-Keitfer
Company much laughing material.
The orchestra played their overture
and waited for the curtain cue, but
for sons reason the curtain lla not
90 up. They played another over
ture and still the curtain was held.
Manager Irons rushed back on the
stage to find all the members OF the
company gathered around the charac-
ter man, who had the misfortune and
bad luck to cut his lip with pair or
scissors while trimming his mustache.
The cut, while not serious, was
nasty one, and he was unable to step
the bleeding, and of course the curtain
could not 90 up. as he opened the act.
But Miss Grace Keiffer, the leading
lady, saved the day, or rather the
night.
Miss Keiffer has big kind heart
one of those Lady Bountiful
affairs, and she was the oaly one who
remained cool and kept her head. She
Immediately tried every known means
to staunch the flow of blood, but of
no avail, as the hoodoo still chung to
the unfortunate character man. But
at last, after much perseverance, and
many applications of some New
Skin Court Plaster" the deed was
done and he was able to appear.
The hoodoo was broken, as the
entire company and especially Miss
Keiffer, gave a great performance.
Tonight Miss Keiffer will be seen
at her best in the title role of
1.-The Blue Mouse" one of the New
York successes and one of the best
laughing bills of the week. This is
the first time ii has ever been play
ed by repertoire company, and the
press in all the cities where it has
played claim that Miss Keiffer's in
depreciation of the role is even bet
ter than that of the original star.
In this bill Miss Keiffer will wear
some very beautiful gowns, one alone
that cost trifle over 81, 600. In fact
Miss Keiffer carries the most extern
sive and expensive wardrobe ever
attempted by a repertoire company.
