JOE JAMES BREAKS IN
B. R. YOUNG'S STORE
COnfesses to Robbery And Goes
to Jail.

Joe James, a sixteen year old
boy of Lexington, who has pro-
NOTED several easy money"
schemes to the loss of many Of
the citizens of Lexington, has
finally arrived. Joe was arrest
ed Friday for rob bin g
Young's Book Store of from S75
to $50 worth Of musical instru-
ments, kodaks, etc. He was put
in the county Jail to await the
action of the criminal court.
Mr.. Young had been missing
articles from his stock from time
to time and had made a still hunt
to recover the same and if pos
sible to catch the thief. Joe was
first suspected a few days ago
when he offered kodak and a
pocket full of French harps for
sale. The officers were notified of
this and his arrest followed.
He acknowledged the corn" and
revealed where much of the sto-
len property could be found.
Joe's criminal acts have not
been confined to Lexington.
Previous to this, he had been
absent a short time in Illinois,
He returned here dressed to kill
and with with plenty Of money
Inquiries from an Illinois officer
for a "Joe Bailey" wanted fol
forgery, gave City Marshal
Owen clew to Joe's prosperity
and when the latter was asked
under what name he travelled
in Illinois, he said, "Joe Bailey
Joe is a bright and attractive
boy and wins the confidence o1
people on short acquaintance
He is, however, filled to tn,
bursting point with cussednes
!
and has made several effort
heretofore to break into tn,
penitentiary.

A Romance of Lexington.

On Saturday, Sept. 9th, 1916,
the Holley Film Producing Com
pany, the largest Film Co., be-
tween Chicago and Los Angeles,
will "shoot" the various scenes
of "a Romance of Lexington"
right here in Lexington. The
cast of the play will consist of
Lexington young ladies and gen
tleman, and the leading lady will
be presented with the film after
it has been shown at the Grand
three nights, Sept. 18th, 10Th
and Goth. The leading lady will
be chosen by a popular vote
which starts at the Grand Fri
day night of this week. Patrons
will receive a ballot at the door,
and may vote for their choice
by writing her name thereon.
Thus far there are about 16 can
didates, the names of which will
be thrown on the screen Friday
night. This is not an advertis-
ing scheme, but a legitimate
business proposition, and should
have the support of the entire
population of Lexington. Re-
member, the voting commences
tomorrow night, Friday, August
25th at the Grand.

The Pageant.

The Pageant given on the Col
lege campus Thursday night was
most satisfactory. The large au-
dience was assured beforehand
because Of the esteem in which
the U. D. c. organization is held,
and the prominence of the ladies
who acted as patronesses. The
program included some very
pretty dancing, varying from
the stately minuet to the aban-
don Of Spanish rythm. The Rose
dance was one of the prettiest
effects; the solo numbers were
all we'll done, and the introduc-
tion of the negro plantation
dance supplied the necessary
humor for a successful program.

SCHMELZERS 3;
ATHLETICS 0.
Dunn Allows Athletics Only 1
Hit.-Was Master of Locals
All Through Game.

The SchmeIzers, Kansas City's
best semi-pro base ball team,
and the best team that has been
on the local diamond this year,
handed the Athletics a goose
egg Sunday at Athletic Park.
This was one of the best games
seen here this season and the
worst defeat the locals have
suffered. The final score of the
game was 80.
Ernie Dunn, a former Boon
vile pitcher, was the greatest
factor in smearing the locals
with a coat of whitewash. He
allowed them only one safe hit,
that being two-bagger by
Campbell, who played second for
the Athletics. While pitching
for Boonville, Dunn established
a record for supremacy on the
mound, that has made him one
of the best semi-pro pitchers in
this part of the state.
Carmichael for Lexington
pitched nice game, allowing
the visitors five hits, but a
pitcher can't win with four
errors behind him, and when
his mates fail to hit the ball.
Schmelzers scored their first
run in the second on a hit and
two errors. They ran in two
more in the third on three two
base hits. They played errorless
ball behind Dunn, and their
center fielder made some nifty
catches in the outer garder.
The management of the Lex
ington team went to consider
able trouble and expense to get
Schmelzers here, because some
of our weakly constituted fans
were kicking because they were
not playing any real ball teams.
Finally a game was arranged
and played, only to have about
two thirds of the tickle fans of
this town roofing" for the
visiting team-this gives the
home team lots of pep and en-
couragement.

Odessa's Ball Team.

The little town of Odessa has
one of the fastest amateur base
ball teams in Missouri. 1t has
won seven out of eight games
played. Lefty" Carson being
responsible. Out of the seven
games he won he did not allow
over five hits in any one, and
struck out no less than II men.
Last Sunday he famed Is and
allowed two hits. The one game
that he lost was a hard-fought
battle between him and McVey,
the game going IL inning and re-
sulting in a 2 to ] score.-Kan-
sas City Post.
The Odessa team will play the
Athletics Sunday at Athletic
Park.

James NJ. Peak Injured.

Sunday James NJ. Peak suf-
fered a fracture of the thigh
bone. He was in the act of set
ting down when the limb was
wrenched in some manner and a
fracture resulted. He is resting
as comfortably as could be ex-
pected under the circumstances.
Owing to his advanced age, SO
years, the accident is much more
serious than it would be with a
younger person.

CHAUTAUQUA OPENS
WEDNESDAY, AUG. 80
Lasts For Seven Days. Big
Musical Attraction Every
DaY.

Starting next Wednesday af-
ternoon and lasting for the next
week, with program morning,
afternoon and evening the big
Lexington Chautauqua will be
on. The tent this year will again
be placed on the lot at the
Wentworth academy and from
present indications the attend
ance will be far ahead of last
year. The Vawter people pro-
vided us with a much better
program last year than we have
ever before had and the Tenth
Anniversary program this year
promises to be better than last
years. Towns where they have
had the program pronounce this
the best they have had offered
to them, and the Chautauqua
people admit that it cost them
$1,000 a week more than last
year to put it on.
Those who help bring the
Chautauqua here should secure
tickets at a cheaper rate than
others. Those who signed can
secure tickets before next Tues
day at $500 at j. c. Graddy's
office. Those not called for by
that time will be thrown into
the general sale. 800 tickets
was sent here, 715 of which were
signed for leaving only a few
to sell at the $500 outside OF
the signers and the first to pur.
chase will be the ones to save the
fifty cents. Tickets after the
800 are sold and at the gate viii
be $3.50.
Take a program from any o1
the stores, check off the mum
bers you would like to hear anc
then see if the Season ticket i!
not the cheapest plan. The tota
single admissions is $6.25 so i.
you can attend only a third o.
the time the season ticket il
the cheapest.
Those who wish may reserve
seat for the season Wednesda,
at 8 a. m. at Graddy's Office, tn,
opening morning of the Chau
tauqua.

Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Catron and
son, Ed Catron, Jr., left Friday
for Kansas City after a visit
with Mr.. and Mrs. w. ]. Bandon.
During their stay here Ed, Jr,
sang at the U. D. c. vaudeville
and at several private informal
gatherings. All who heard him
were delighted at the wonder
full quality of his voice. He is
eleven years old and has a high
soprano. His voice is sweet,
clear and marvelously true. He
sings long florid cadenzas and al
ways ends in exactly the correct
pitch. Another surprising thing
about his singing is his hand
ling of scales and arpeggios. He
gives each note distinctly with
out a trace of uncertainty. His
stage presence is exceedingly at
tractive, as he is a real natural
boy without a trace of affection
or self-esteem. The coming
season Mrs. Catron will coach
him and let him do some concert
work. Undoubtedly with little
more training and experience
Ed will be one of the foremost
boy sopranos of the country.

Story Of a Bakeshop.

In Braunschweig. a quaint old Ger
man town. is pointed out the building
still used as bakeshop-where Till
Eulenspiegel, famous as jester in
the fourteenth century, worked as a
boy. Many persons who have listened
to the musical composition IT'LL Eulen-
spiegers Merry Franks" which en-
shrines his name, have never associat-
ed this with the merry baker boy Of
Braunschwe1g. He is credited with
having made many little gingerbread
owls and monkeys, which he gave
away to children. The shop at II
Backerlint still does a thriving bust
ness.
