Operated Upon For Appendicitis
Saturday Night But
Too Late
PERITONITUS HAD RESULTED
Was Pianist At The Princess
And 0rganiSt At Grace
Church.

Norman Syfers, the young musi-
clan who was operated on Saturday
night for appendicitis, died at eight
o'clock Thursday night. Funeral
services were held by Rev. Geo. C.
Abbitt, of Grace Episcopal Church,
at six o'clock yesterday morning, and
the body was sent to Cincinnati for
interment, accompanied by the
young mans mother, his younger
brother. his nephew, a young man
named Smith, and Mrs. w. D. Coop
er, friend of the family.
Young Syfers was taken violently
i'll Friday night and the next night
was taken to the Hopkinsville mfr
mary suffering from an acute attack
of appendicitis. An operation was
performed and it was found that the
appendix was practically gone and
that a general peritonitis existed.
His condition was regarded as des-
perate and there was hardly chance
for him at any time.
The young man, who was under Fl
years of age, came here last fall as
pianist at the Princess Theatre and
was found to be- fine musician as
we'll as an affable young man. He
made many friends and had become
a member Of the First Baptist church.
He had recently been engaged as or
ganist at Grace Church. His mother
and younger brother were here with
him during lis illness.
Much regret is felt over the
untimely death of so promis ng
young man.

TO POISON GRAssHoppERs
A Cheap and Effective Remedy for
the Hopper Pest.

A reader of The Index writes for
poison to kill grasshoppers. Here
is the one recommended by the gov
eminent:
Paris green, 21s pounds; bran, so
pounds. Mix these dry and add to a
mixture Of 6 lemons chopped fine,
rind and all, quarts syrup, 3 gallons
water. Add enough water to make a
wet mash. Do not add water until
the day the poison is to be distribut-
ed. This amount will sow field of
five acres and will cost from 20 to 20
cents an acre.
The poison bran should be distrib-
uted broadcast over the field early in
the morning between 5 and 7 o'clock.
1t is of the utmost Importance to get
the poison out early as the hoppers
eat it better when first beginning to
feed.

LATE WAR NEWS.

London-The nineteenth day of the
| battle of the Aisne finds the allied
armies pushing with all the strength
they can bring to bear in their great
effort to outfank the German right
wing and force it back from its lines
of communication through Belgium.
There is evidence that this movement
is beginning to tell and that unless
something unforeseen happens, at least
portion of the German army must
fall back to another defensive line.
The French official report issued
Wednesday says the action continues
to develop to the northward; 50 that
the French left must not be pushing
toward Cambria as Tuesday it was in
the neighborhood Of Albert.
Even further north than this the
French cavalry are operating and last
week a German force which was sent
to Orchies, 16 miles southeast of lille,
to punish franc-tirerus for an alleged
attack on German hospital at that
place, met with superior forces and
had to fall back. The Germans, too,
admit that they have been unable to
arrest the French advance against
their right and also that the allies
have advanced on their right front.
Inded, there seems to be some agree
ment in the official reports Of the
belligerents on the events in this part
of the battlefield.
The German reports refer to an adj
vance of the allies while the French
says that a vigorous
attack made by the Germans on
Tracy-le- None, northeast of the for
est of Aigne, was repulsed with heavy
losses. OF course, these reports may
refer to different incidents, but they
nevertheless, agree that the advan-
tage is in favor of the allies.
In the center, from Rheims to the
Meuse, the armies appear still to be
waiting for the outcome of the fight
ng in the wings, as there has been a
ull in the battle there.
Although the French staff is spar
ng with it's information, it is evident
hat the forces which advanced from
foul TO oppose the NerInanS Who
.rossed the Mouse near st. Mihiel,
ave succeeded in getting behind the
mall contingent of invaders who had
carried out an attempt to
,end the French line at this point.
)ther offensive movements by the
french between Verdun and Toul
we're repulsed, however, according to
he German report.
In Lorraine and in the Vosges
here has been no change in the situa-
ion. Here, too, the armies seem to
e awaiting the result of the greater
ontest going on further west where
british naval experts believe, the al
es have at last firmly set the claws
f their left in the German right
ing under General Won Kluck.
The Russian armies continue to
weep through Galicia and according
D a report from Rome Wednesday ,
light, that province of the Austrian I
mpire is clear of Austrian troops. D
What is meant is that the field armies '
f Austria have either gone into the {
ortresses of Przemysl and Cracow or
etreated TO the south and west. G
