SITUATION IS CRAVE
 IN AUSTRIA-HUNGARY

Basel, Switzerland, Oct. 2.-The Bulgarian armistice undoubtedly has created a grave situation for Austria Hungary, the Austrian premier yester- day told the lower house, but suitable military measures will be taken inn mediately Tn accord with Germany.
 The premier. Baron Won Hussarek, made a long speech on the situation. He was interrupted constantly by the Czech deputies
 Baron Won Hussarek said he was sure the hour was coming when the proposition of Baron Burian, the Aus tro- Hungarian foreign minister, would be acted on. One Of the most impor- tant problems was Poland
 'The state of Poland already is es- tablished on. basis of the proclamation of the two emperors of November 1, 1916," said Won Hussarek.
 The Czechs and E<rainians protest ed strongly but Won HussarGk con- tinued:
 Poland now negotfates on the foot of equality with the Central Powers and is on the point of becoming an independent factor in European poll tics, but Poland herself must decide the form of government it desires"

NEGRO CUTS CONSTABLE
Who WAS MAKING ARREST
Constable William Goggin is Rather
Seriously Wounded by Negro Who
Resisted Arrest.

When attempting to arrest Tom
Warner, colored, of Washington, Con-
stable William Goggin, of that place.
was rather badly injured with a razor
or very sharp knife in the hand of
the enraged negro Monday night.
1t seems as though Warner and his
wife had been in some sort of argu-
ment in colored restaurant in Wash
ington when the officer appeared on
the scene and placed Warner under ar
rest. The negro resisted the arrest
and drew his sharp weapon. The Of
ficer was cut across the face, across
the back of the neck and in the back.
The constable drew his revolver and
snapped it four times at the negro but
it failed to explode and the negro ran.
Mr.. Goggin fell to the ground but
arose on his elbows and shot at the
running negro. This time the gun
worked and it is understood that the
negro was shot in the hand but he
made his escape.
Efforts Of Sheriff Galbraith and his
deputies to locate Warner this MORN
ing were unavailing.

BUSINESS MEN PLAY
SANTATO HUNDREDS
OF POOR CHILDREN
Court House Filled With Poor Chill
dren Who Are Made Happy by
Business Mems Christ
mas Gifts.

The County Court House was filled
to overfowing this afternoon with
hundreds of little tots who had been
invited by party of Maysville busi-
ness men who each year furnish a
treat for the poor children of the COM
munity. They came from all parts of
the city. Some were with their par
ents while others came by themselves
but all opened their eyes wide when
they entered the Court House doors to
see the large number of toys and the
large amount of candies and nuts
spread on the large tables in the front
of the room.
Old Santa Claus soon made his ap-
pearance and began the distribution of
gifts. Good assortments of toys for
boys and girls had been selected by
the committee in charge of the pur-
chase while each youngster was pre-
sented with a stocking of candies and
nuts.
Many little tots went from the Court
House with eyes big and hearts aglow
who might, had it not been for these
big hearted business men, been forgot
ten By Santa Claus but the eyes of the
children were no larger and their
hearts were no lighter than were those
of the business men who furnished the
treat as they sat about and watched
the youngsters.
Although there was a very large
number of children present at the par
ty this afternoon, the business men
had provided for them all and none
were turned away disappointed.

SPLENDID BUSINESS
IS EXPERIENCED BY
OUR BUSINESS men
Although the Tobacco Season Did Not
Open Before the Holidays, All Of
the Maysyille Merchants Are
Pleased With Christmas
Business,

Before the Christmas shopping
opened in real earnest things looked
rather blue for the business men of
Maysville for it had been announced
that the tobacco market would not
open until the first of the year and 1t
was expected that the farmers would
be short of money and would not do
much Christmas shopping. Just the
opposite has been true, however and
this has been one of the biggest Christ
mas seasons for the local merchants
they have had in recent years.
The fact that the war was over had
put gladness into every ones heart
and they spent their money freely and
those who did not have the ready cash
for shopping experienced no trouble in
getting it until their crops were turn
ed into money after the first of the
year.
Local stores had splendid line of
merchandise and they report today
that they have been pretty well clean
ed out, leaving them little to carry
over the season.
The shopping this season has been
properly distributed out over a num-
ber of days. 1t was not one big days
business but for more than two weeks
the merchants enjoyed a splendid
business and for the past week their
stores have been crowded.
Taken all in all this has been, in
many respects, the most satisfactory
Christmas business the Maysville mer-
chants have experienced in many sea-
sons.
