At BOWMAN STORE
New Safety Elevators Being In
stalled VIII Improve Serv-
ice to Upper Floors

Forces of men are working night
and day at the store of Bowman &
Co, Market street, in order to COM
plete important improvements that
have been under way for some time.
By Saturday night the store will be
ready for inspection and will present
new and up-to-date features.
Patrons will find changes on every
hoor, giving the store better lighting
facilities and more room. The most
important improvement is the installa-
ton of two Otis passenger elevators
which will run to the sixth floor and
Will supplant the old elevator that has
done service for many years
The new elevators are on the west
side of the building. They are of the
latest improved electrically operated
make. They include the car switch
control, have nine different safety ap-
pliances, interlocking attachments, to
prevent the opening of the doors un-
I'll the elevator is on a level with the
hoors and an electric indicator, show
ing what floor the elevators are on
ana which direction they are running
The elevators have capacity of $500
pounds each and travel at speed OF
25O feet a minutes They weer built
by the Otis Elevator Company under
the direction of II. c. -Motherwell
local manager.
In order to install these elevators il
was necessary to make q number oi
changes in the departments at the
Bowman & Co. store. On the first
floor half-dozen departments were
changed The second floor has been
made into one big room, affording ad-
ditional light and room. On the third
floor, rest rooms have been provided
Tor women at a cost of several thou
/ sand dollars. When the old elevator Is
removed additional room will be pro
Vided on every floor. The new ele-
Vators and most of the improvements
will be completed by Saturday night

ANOTHER POISONING CASE.

The mystery surrounding the sup
posed poisoning of the Hughes family
in this city some weeks ago received
an added chapter this week when
Mrs. Zereda Hughes, the eldest of the
family, was taken suddenly ill in
much the same manner as in pre-
viOus attack.
A physician was hastily summoned
to the Hughes home on Main Street,
where Mrs. Hughes was found suffer
ing from poisoning, the cause of
Which was not clearly determined.
By the use of stomach pump, the
sufferer was relieved and her life
saved.
Early in June, Mrs. Hughes, her
daughter, Miss Blanche, the latter's
brother, Rollie and Llewellyn Hughes
and Mrs. Hughes grandson, little
Charles Leslie Hughes, suffered from
the effects of being poisoned, which
was by some attributed to their eat
ing canned salmon.
Lewellyn and little Charles died at
the Massie Memorial Hospital as a re-
suit of their illness, but the other
members of the family recovered.
1t was suspected that the drinking
water used by the family had been
poisoned, but a chemical analysis of
the water disproved that theory. The
matter remains an unsolved mystery.

OOUTH BECOMING SERIOUS.

1t has been many years since BOur-
bon County has suffered so much
from drouth on the loss of growing
crops so large as at present. The
hemp crop is badly damaged, while
other crops have been cut at least
one-half by lack of rain. The corn
is beginning to show damaged condi-
ton, but copious showers may yet
bring this across. Farmers are great
ly distressed and worried. Stock Wa
ter is very scarce and some people
are driving several miles to creeks.
The gardens in some cases are COM
plete losses.
The prolonged dry weather in Ma
son county is becoming alarming. AL
most every bit of grass has been burn
ed by the scorching sun and the hay
crop is total failure. Every stream
in the county is dry, and cattle for
miles around are being driven to the
river for water Tobacco and corn
will be total loss unless rain comes.
Blackberries are very poor in Mich
olas country this year. The crop
would have been good one but for
the drought.
