ing, Nicholas, Robertson, Bour-
bon and Harrison Counties

Mr.. f. r. Sapp, representing the
State tuberculosis Commission, and
Miss Emma Hunt, a trained nurse have

of Fleming, Nicholas, Robertson, Mason.

purpose, it is understood, is, after the
district has been organized, the loca-
ton of sanitorim at Parks Hill
where each county ca'l send its tuber-
cular patients for skilled and modern
treatment of this widespread and fatal
disease. Each county would bear it's
proportion of the expense, so that it
would not be a burden on anyone, says
Mr.. Sapp, and he thinks Parks Hill
would be an ideal location for such
place, as doubtless it would
The movement is one of merit il
seems to us, and is worthy of the con

would be required in the way of apprO-
priations to establish and sustain such
a place is not known, but would, Of
course have to be considered by the
fiscal court. Nicholas County has al
ready taken favorable action toward
the matter, and Mr.. Sapp is now taking
it up with the other counties named.
He has interviewed the county officials

the matter for consideration at a special
session to be held here May LIST and End

1t is long journey between childhood and old

enough, on these days, to stand erect in the sun
shine and look up into the sky and breathe the
balmy air laden with the scent of woodland, and
feel the thrill of life in one veins. 1t is good
on days like this simply to have lived. Considera-
tons of success or failure in material affairs are
forgotten if one have debts they fade away if one
have troubles they no longer exist. Just to stand
upon the crest and raise ones eyes and live and
breathe and be at one with nature is enough 1t is
good, then, just to have lived.

THERE WILL BE
NO FAIR THIS YEAR
Unless People of Bourbon
Will Accord Society Bet
ter Support

Unless the people of Bourbon coun-
ty rally to the support of the Bourbon
County Agricultural Society there
will be no fair held here this year.
This decision was reached at a meet
ing OF the directors held in the court
house Friday, at which the prospects
for fair this year were freely dis
cussed, and at which it was decided
that unless there are funds raised
with which to meet the indebtedness
which the fair association has in
CURED no fair would be held.
The financial condition of the Soci-
ETY. was thoroughly gone over by the
directors, and, in view of the fact that
the people of the county have failed
to accord proper support in the last
few years, it was the almost unani-
nous opinion that to attempt to hold
fair this year would mean mourning
an additional expense.
The far association was recognized
eight years ago, and for the first four
years the attendance was good, re-
sulting in the making of some money
on each fair, but for the past four
years there has been a very notice
able falling off in the attendance,
causing considerable financial loss.
1t was decided at the meeting Sat
urday that if the people of Bourbon
desire a fair this year they must take
some steps to relieve the financial en-
barrassment of the Society when an
other meeting of the directors will be
held and the order rescinded.
The directors appointed a commit
tee composed of Messrs. c. M. Thorn
as, J. T. Collins and ]. Miller Ward to
notify the public through the news
papers of the Society's financial en-
barrassment, in the hope that some
way will be devised to continue the
fair.

THEATRICAL.
Opening of The New Columbia

The opening of the new Columbia
Theatre Saturday afternoon was a
complete success in every way. Not
only is the interior pretty and attract
i've but the decorations and fixtures
are in harmony with everything else.
The hundreds of patrons who visited
this popular place of amusement were
profuse in their praise of the many
improvements which the owners have
made. Three splendid reels of pic
lures were shown on the opening
day. The wide, safe aisles and the
side exits enabled the crowds to pass
out of the building without the least
trouble. The patent screen and the
new improved picture machine
brought the pictures out in the clear
est and most distinct way. The ele-
vaion in the floor and the ventilation
is perfect 1t was no trouble to see
the pictures regardless of the enor-
nous crows played to at this theatre
Saturday. The success of this the
atre seems assured, IS it deserves to
be patronized by the people of this
city, as the owners assure the editor
of the News that nothing but the very
bes class of pictures will be shown at
The New Columbia. Go see it.

WOULD PLACE PARIS IN
THE OHIO STATE LEAGUE

Mr.. j. w. Bacon last Friday night
received a long distance message
from President Reed, OF the Ohio
State League, in which an offer was
made to place Paris in that circuit
this season, and the matter is said to
be under consideration with a number
of the followers of the game here.
1t was indicated by President Reed
that one of the Ohio towns would re-
linquish a franchise, and, owing to
the geographical situation it was the
hope that the base ball men of Paris
could be induced to finance a team
fer this season.
Mr.. Bacon, who was president OF
the Paris club during the life of the
Blue Grass League, has conferred
with the number of stockholders of
the former Paris club, but there is a
general opinion among them that it
would prove losing proposition. At
present there is debt of S1,750 on
the ball park, $500 being paid of last
week when the club received that
amount for the sale of James Hauser
to the Vancouver club. A number of
the stockholders have expressed
themselves as being willing to turn
over their stock to anyone who will
take up the venture this season
According to Mr.. William Shire,
who has always taken an active part
in base ball in Paris, he has been APP
preached on the subject during the
past several days by several persons,
one of the number agreeing to pro-
duce one-half the amount necessary.
to run the club during the season,
provided a second party would fur
nish the other half.
There is every indication that Il
club in this city would pay this sea
from the fact that Paris has been
out of organized base ball for more
than a year, and there seems to be a
general feeling among the followers
of the game that good club would
prove paying proposition.

FLAMES MENACE
LITTLE ROCK
Blaze Caused From Explo-
sion Does $4,000 Damage
to Property

The little village of Little Rock,
eleven miles east of this city, was al
most completely wiped out by fire Sun
day evening about $50 o'clock. The
blaze started in the boarding house of
Mrs. Margaret Evans and was the re-
suit of an explosion of a coal oil
stove.
The flames spread rapidly and in a
short time was beyond the control of
the large number who had organized
a bucket brigade and every effort was
made to hold the flames in check.
Soon the blaze had been commu-
nicated to the building in which was
located the Office of the Bourbon
County Home Telephone Exchange,
which was destroyed, together with
its contents.
The Methodist Church, in the path
of the fire was rapidly consumed and
the general store of w. o. Evans was
a prey to the flames. The stable of
Mr.. Evans together with vacant
house, were also burned to the
ground.
Every man in the village was
brought into service to assist in com
batting the flames, and only by ex-
treme efforts were they confined to
the buildings which were destroyed
The fire ragged until seven o'clock be-
fore il was under control.
The loss is said to be in the neigh
borhood of $1,000, partly covered by
insurance.

The Alamo TODAY.

At the Alamo today there will be
presented the Famous Players in
Leah Kleschna," a strong story of
a woman's regeneration.
Judge B. R. Lindsay, the famous
Justice and criminologist, declares
that human nature is the same in
every breast, and that if the right ap-
peal is made to people who go astray,
there is always chance to lead them
Into the light" This humane theory
is advocated in the famous play,
Leah Kleschna," the drama of a
woman's redemption. Leah Klesch-
ma ascends far above the plane of
the drama that merely thrills and in
terests. It's directness, simplicity
and power are irresistible. It's moral
is powerful, and touches a responsive
and sympathetic chord in the chart
of all humanity. (adv)

Mr., ALEXANDER
IS EXONERATED
Paris Man Had No Connec-
ton With Crane Delin-
quency Case

Cincinnati newspapers have for the
past several weeks been publishing
accounts of the sensational trials of
prominent men for contributing to
the delinquency of Mildred Crane,
girl of seventeen years. Among the
number who were prosecuted under
the juvenile law were several promi-
nent business men of Cincinnati, and,
as a result, several convictions were
obtained and fines assessed in each
of the cases.
Following the arrest of the Crane
girl, who by the court was adjudged
delinquent, she revealed to the court
authorities the names of a number of
prominent men who, it was alleged,
had contributed to her delinquency
and had visited her at resort in that
city. Among the number who were
mentioned in the affair was Mr. Geo.
Alexander, of this city.
At the first intimation of being con-
nected with the affair Mr.. Alexander
entered strong denial of the charge
through the press of Cincinnati as
we'll as the local papers, declaring in
his statements that he knew nothing
falsely accused.
The case of the Crane girl was
thoroughly threshed out in the Cincin-
matt Juvenile Court, and every person
associated with the girl was found
guilty of the charge.
Knowing himself to be absolutely
innocent of the charge, Mr.. Alexander
felt that the publishing of his name
in the Cincinnati newspapers as be-
ing connected with the case, was in
every way an injustice, and he made
preparations to aid the Cincinnati au-
thorities with view of clearing his
name.
John w. Weinig, the prosecuting at
torney of the Cincinnati Juvenile
Court, together with other officers of
the court, succeeded in bringing the
men accused into court to face the
charge. At the same time the officers
were asked by Mr. Alexander to spare
no effort to get at the facts in regard
to his alleged connection with the
case, which was done by the prose-
Mad been unjustly connected with the
case Mr.. Weinig voluntarily forward
ed the following letter to Mr.. Alexan-
der, which was received several days
ago:
Cincinnati, O., March 3, 1914
Mr.. George Alexander,
Paris, KY.
Dear Sir:-I think it is but justice
to you to state that | have gone
thoroughly into the delinquency of
Mildred Crane, and all the circum-
stances connected with it, and am sat-
isfied, both from her statement and
from my investigation, that Mildred
Crane never met you and does not
know you at all.
You may use the above statement
in any way you see fit.
Respectfully,
JOHN w. WEINIG.
According to the above statement
it may be readily seen that Mr.. AL
exander had no connection with the
delinquency case of Mildred Crane, as
he stated publicly at the time the ac-
cuSatiOnS were made.
