Sam Lemmage, railroad pump house

Immediately had a spasm, for he was
certain that he had received bomb,

The editor, who has been espousing
the cause Of Austria during the war,
had received number Of threats Of
death, and this naturally made him a
little nervous.
When Lemmage's talking machine
broke down, he tried to fix It, and the
efforts Of Edward Baxtrom, the Velva
express agent, were Of no avail. So
he boxed up the works and sent them
to his favorite editor.
When Lemmage was seen, he was
surprised that he had caused SO much
commotion in little old New York.

my talking machine and l wanted him
to fix it. Then he laughed.
Lemmage lighted his pipe and start
ed back to the pump house.

fix it for me yet" he said, and we have
no doubt but what the editor will help
out his Velva admirer.

Three points stand out in the news
of the great war: In Flanders the
Germans, undaunted by past failures
to break through to the straits of Do
yer, have launched their expected new
attack, regarded by the allies as their
supreme effort. In Russian Poland the
immense armies of the Russian en-
peror are pushing forward with sur
prising speed, threatening the Ger
mans on home soil. From Toxic comes
the report that a Japanese army may
be sent to the west to take it's part
with the British, French and Belgians
in the struggles on the battlefelds of
Europe.
Military observers agree that the
war has entered upon a crucial stage
and that the next week may mark a
definite turn in the course of events.
In French opinion, the Germans must
either win their way to the English
Channel or fall back. For that reason
particular interest attached to to-day's
otnciaI French statement, which indi-
cited the beginning of the onslaught
for which the Germans have been
preparing during the lull of the last
IeW days.
French troops and new guns from
the Krupp works have been rushed
to the line of battle from Bixmude
southward across the French border
to Arras. The Germans have struck
their first blows at Dixmude and in
the region of Ypres, and the French
war office announces that their at
tacks have been repulsed.
Slow progress for the allies along
the greater part of the line from Dix
nude to the Lys is claimed by the
French. Over the remainder of the
disputed territory across France the
situation has been changed materially.
although the French report that ntw
German attacks in Alsace have been
checked.
The rapid clearing of Germans from
Russian Poland has lent to the eastern
campaign degree of interest no less
than that which attaches to the fight
ing along the west Official reports
from Petrograd indicate that the vast

Three Night Riders Die
in Battle in Dark on
Hill Near Lexington, Ky.

Lexington, KY, Nov. 9.--Three night
riders. members of a band which de-
livered an attack on a family at South
Hill, Butler county. were killed in a
pitched battle with the defenders, ac-
cording to dispatches received here to-
day. Women are said to have been
beaten with switches. and the reports
say that families have been driven
from the neighborhood. 1t is believed
that militiamen will be sent to South
Hill to maintain order.
No names were divulged in the dis
patches.
The night riders had sent notice tc
members of a family that they would
be whipped unless they left the neigh.
borhood. This the family failed to do
and young man in the family told
neighbors about the threat, appealing
for assistance. The neighbors rallied
to his aid.
About 100 night riders appeared In
the attack on the family. Shots were
fired at them from the woods near the
besieged house. Two men were seer
to fall, and it is reported that another
was so badly wounded that he died.
Notwithstanding this attack, riders
stormed the house and dragged two
women out, beating them with
switches
