seem to show very good knowledge
OF the lay OF the land. It was when
he started to cut Off another cabbage
that Willard Simmons shot. The man
started up and ran as fast as he
could in the direction of the corn.feld,
which lies between the patch and Dry
creek. A second time, MIR. Simmons
blazed forth with his gun and this time
the man dropped. The Simmons
rushed over to him and saw that he
was unable to move and hence escape.
Accordingly, they left the field and
telephoned as quickly as possible to-
the sheriff, who, with his deputy, ar
rived on the scene shortly.
When Barber was on the operating
table at the hospital, he seemed to be
in great pain and every time he
breathed, it appeared as if his side
were straining. Also, at every breath,
bubbles of air would come out of the
shot holes, which would seem to indi-
cate that one of his lungs was pune
tured. The physician in attendance
stated that probing for the shot
would not be advisable at present, ow-
ling to the depth to which they had
penetrated.
Barber stated that he was about 40
years of age and had come to Mt. Yer
non in 1908 from Pittsburgh, Pa. He
says that he has been employed with
the Essex Glass Co. since he has been
in the city.
At the Banners press hour, infor-
nation was given out at the Mt. Yer
non hospital that Barber was resting
quite comfortably and that his condi-
tion was practically unchanged. 1t
will be necessary to wait for several
days, the attending physician and hos
pital authorities state, to determine
the exact seriousness of the wounds.
No affidavit has been made against
Simmons.

nually between $4,500,000 and $4,000,
900 towards the construction, main,
tenance and repair OF the inter
county highways and the main market
roads of the state. The law provides
that the county set apart dollar for
dollar and the sum be expended joint
ly by the state in improving some por-
/ ton of the intercounty highway.
| Were each county to cooperate with
the state" says Governor Cox, there
would be expended annually about
S6,000,000 as the direct result of this
law. There is no reason why every
county cannot accept to the fullest ex-
tent the cooperation Of the state.
Cuyahoga. the wealthiest, and Vinton,
the poorest, are each in line for all
the state has for them. BY carrying
out the plan now in vogue, all the in
tercounty highways can be improved
and placed under a thorough system
of maintenance within five to eight
years"
That the counties seem willing to
do their share is indicated by the re-
sponses to Markers plan of having
the county commissioners apply for
state aid in the improvement of inter-
county highways. But three counties
of the state have failed to apply.
Sixty-one counties petitioned for total
! mileage within the county lines, or
6,382 miles in all, and "a counties Pc

HERO
'0f The War Is General
Smith-DOrrien

London, Sept. 1S-General Sir Hor-
ace Lockwood Smith-Dorrien, hero of
the historic retreat of the English
from Belgium, has long been known
as one of the best fighting officers in
the British army. From his entry in
to the service in 1876 down to and
through the Boer war he saw almost
constant service in the field, extend
ing from Zululand to the northwest
frontier of India
Educated at Harrow, ne Joined
when Is years old the Sherwood For
esters. At the disastrous battle of
Isandula, in 1879, he was one of the
few officers who, by his athletic pow
ers as runner and swimmer, escaped
the Zulu warriors, and lived to take
part in the battle of Ulundi, when Get
ewayo was finally disposed of. He
was mentioned in dispatches, and
since then honors have fallen fast up
on him.
General SmithDorrien was in the
Egyptian campaign of 1882, in which
year he raised and commanded a corps
of mounted infantry, and in 1885, with
his mounted infantry, did good work
at Suakin Returning to Egypt in
1898, he took port in the Nile expe-
dition, and was present at the battle
of Khartoum, and in the subsequent
operations in the Soudan.
In the Boer war General Smith-Dor-
rien was mainly instrumental in
bringing about the capture of Cronje
and his army. By his attack upon the
Beers on the Modder river, the Cor
dons, the Canadians, and the Royal
Engineers secured a strong position,
from which they enfiladed the enc
my's trenches, and by preventing
them from drawing water precipitat-
ed Cronje's surrender. He afterwards
commanded the lines of communities
! tien from Kroonstadt to Pretoria. His
work was three times mentioned in
dispatches and his reward was the
Queens medal with four clasps and
promotion to major general for dis
tinguished service in the field

Another of the laws passed at the
recommendation of Governor Cox and
which will work wonderful improve

is the split log drag law. Under its
provisions, every grayeled or unim-

will be approximately $3.50 mile,

Marker every highway in the state
can be made passable at all times OF
the year.

already accomplished much and more

aid, which can come only through an
efficient organization, Not only is a

but economy in contracts results, and

twice at the intruder, the second load
bringing him to the ground with his
right side full of shot. Then Sim

Deputy Sheriff Mossholder and the
wounded man was taken to the Mt.
Vernon hospital In the Miller ambu-
lance. A physician was called in at
tendance and nasty examination
made of the man on the operating

Said a dashing young damsel
named Zaza
As she danced at q tea at the
Plaza,
I have "trotted" enough, and
the tango's old stuff
The dance Of today's the hazaz-
zaa.
This dashing young damsel was
right. Whether you are at lunch
con, tea or supper after the thea
ter In New York, you can't escape
the rollicking music and the more
rollicking dance which Mizzi Ha-
Jos introduced in the Viennese
operetta, "Sari." now running on
Broadway.
For the purposes of rhyme and
meter, you must pronounce the
hazzazzaa the way it Is spelled
and to rhyme with zaza, plaza,
piazza or anything else that oc-
ours to you.
In one respect the new dance
has a marked advantage over all
the others, even the latest prod
uct of Castle House, the half-and-
half. (You can dance 1t without
partner). In fact to do SO
really adds to the fun.
Mizzi Hajos is herself a Hun
garian and has danced the hazaz-
zaa ever since she can remember
This is what she has to say about
the new dance which Is now being
played and danced in every res
taurant and cafe along Broad
way:
"The hazazzaa is absurdly SIM
pie. Once having seen 1t, you
can't fail to learn IL and to dance
1t. The left hand rests upon the
hip, the arm akimbo. AS the mu-
sic starts, the dancer, holding the
body rigid, rises on the balls of
the feet and then drops the heels
to the floor in time to 1t. AS the
music grows faster, the undula-
ton becomes a hop, which is ac-
companied by a rhythmic sway
ing of the body first to right and
left and then to the front and
back.
"At a punctuation of the music
the right foot is lifted from the
ground, held stiffly out from the
body, and the dancer whirls on
