SNAKE WENT CRAZY
Frightened a Whole Town and Bit
Dog.

Frightened a Whole Town and Bit
Dog.
A mad snake scare has seized the
town Of Richheld, Pa, as a result Of
the biting of John Watts dog by rat
tier recently. The dog showed al-
most all the symptoms of a develop
ing case of rabies. The bite became
very sore, swollen and painful.
Snakes have never before been so
restless in these parts as now, and,
owing 10 the biting of Watts dog, the
natives are catching all they can find
roaming at large and arc confining
them for observation to determine
whether they have hydrophohia.
Henry Baird. foreman at the Hawke
quarry, caught an 11-foot black racer
the other day and is keeping him in
an abandoned whisky barrel. If he
acts queerly Henry will chop off the
head and send it to the anatomical
laboratories for analysis.

nest KIND o7 PIaY ID Work.

One of the best kinds of play Is
work. Many Of the elements of play
enter into work If it is performed in
the right spirit. The most satisfying
forms of play are those in which inter-
Ast is excited; competition, with desire
10 succeed and accomplish some def
mite end, makes the game worth play
ing. Work is fatiguing and distaste-
full when it is lacking in these ele-
Ments.

COMPRISING Cotton.

Scientific investigation has proved
that compression of high degree does
not injure the fiber. and cotton is pack
ed in other countries today at den
sity substantially three times that Of
ours by the most economical practice.
The Egyptian package has a density
of about 81 pounds cubic foot; the
Indian cotton is compressed to 40
pounds per cubic foot; while some In
dian and Chinese baling plants effect Il
density Of from 55 to 60 pounds Of

HARRIS SENTENCED
TO Die AT EDDYVILLE
ON DECEMBER 18th
Judge Newell In Sentencing Murderer
to Electric Chair Bids Him Look
Up For SOlace No Human
Being Can Give.

Lewis Harris, colored convicted
during this term of the Mason Circuit
Court of the murder of his wife, will
be electrocuted at the state penten-
tiary at Eddyville, KY, before sunrise
on Saturday, December 2Sth, unless
the Court of Appeals reverses the case
or Governor Stanley grants a stay of
execution.
Judge Newell this morning heard
arguments of Harris counsel for a
new trial but overruled the motion.
This afternoon at $3.50 Harris was
brought into court. He stood with
head dropped before Judge Newell as
he was asked II he could show any
reason why the court should not pro-
nounce sentence upon him. Harris
raised his head for moment and said
that some of the witnesses had not
told the truth. Judge Newell explain
ed to him that this was a matter for
the jury wholly to decide and the
murderer again dropped his head on
his chest.
Judge Newell stated that so far as
he knew Harris had been given fair
and impartial trial and he proceeded
with the sentence. "No legal cause
being shown, it is therefore the judg-
ment of this court that you be taken
by the sheriff of Mason county to the
state penitentiary at Eddyville, Ky,
and there safely kept until Saturday
December 2S. On the morning of that
day before sunrise, the warden of the
penitentiary and his assistants shall
cause the electric current to pass
through your body of sufficient in
tensity to kill quickly and it shall be
continued until you are dead This is
the solemn judgment of the court in
which you were convicted
81 can only say to you at a TINE like
this when everything must look dark
in your loneliness and gloom that you
must look uD. In that way you may
find solace no human being can give.
Your counsel have made a noble
fight; they will continue to make a
noble fight. They have taken an ap-
peal from the judgment of this court
The highest court in the state will re-
view your case very completely and
if there is an error they will be quick
to find it. You may 60"
Harris was then taken by Sheriff
Galbraith and Jailer Watson back tc
Jail and he will probably be taken to
Eddyville within the next few days.

HOnOrably Discharged
From the Navy.

Word has Just been received here
that Robert Leroy Womble, eighteen
year, old son of Mr.. and Mrs. o. j.

later on the T. S. S. Northwestern.
While aboard his vessel on May Is,
1917 the ship was torpedoed by the
Germans off the coast of Ireland and
he lay in water for four days until
he was picked up by an Allied boat
and carried to America.
He was given an honorable dis
charge from the Navy and was work
ing for the Bush Terminal Company,
of New York, when he met his un-
timely death. The young man was
working near the bay when he lost
his footing and fell overheard but
luckily his body was recovered. The

first-class engineer in a few months.
He has many friends in Maysville

friends here, have the sympathy of
them all in their great loss.

ALLIES PUSH
HUNS BACK OVER
A WIDE FRONT
"lf Kaiser Doesn't Want TO Fight,
why Should Wei" Says German
Retreat of Huns
Becoming General.

London, October 1O-Allied troops
are within two miles of the great Ger
man base of lie Cateau,, Field Marshal
Haig announced today.
lie Cateau is only 10 miles from the
Belgian border, between Valenciennes
and Maubeuge. 1t is II miles. direct
ly south of the former city.
The British have begun to advance
eastward from Lens, and have cap
tured Sallaumines and Novelties, about
two miles east of that city.
With the British Armies in France,
October 10-The Germans in the st.
Quentin-Cambrai region, staggering
under the impact of the combined
British, French and American blow,
appear to be on the verge of an utter
rout.
The allies have burst through the
last of the organized German defenses
along a front of a score of miles, and
have poured into the open country be-
yond.
The Germans are reported in wild
retreat on the eastward, abanconrng
everything that would retard their
flight.
Allied cavalry is cutting and slash
ing at the enemys heels, while our
infantry is marching in the wake OF
the horsemen in column formation.
Additional advances of more than
six miles at some points along the
50-mile fighting front are reported
since yesterdays renewed attack be-
gan. Bobain, Busigny. Clary, Caudry,
Fonsomme, Caurior, Carnieres, Fon-
! taine Notre Dame, Marcy and Mazier
es-sur-Oise are reported to have fall
en-.
The British and Americans are re-
ported on the outskirts of lie Cateau
and approaching Solesmes.
To the southwark the French are
bearing down on Ribemont
The allied progress has been eX-
tended northward to the Scarpe, and
our detachments are reported to have
entered Vitry-en-Artois and ArlouN,
and to be headed for the greater CEN
ter of Douai.
Inspired by their governments re-
quest for an armistice, of which they
knew only as much as was contained
in the kaisers order of the day, some
German divisions between Cambria
and St Quentin made one of the feeb-
lest fights seen since the Somme be-
came a battlefield.
"They didn't fight like they did a
year ago." said a South Carolina boy,
who participated in both battles.
"If the kaiser doesn't want to fight,
why should we?" asked German pri-
vate, who became willing captive,
While the fighting was resumed in
full force at dawn yesterday and some
advances had been reported north of
Cambria even before that hour, the
break was not noticeable until toward
midday.
Then some tanks and whippets were
sent as scouts across objectives vary
ing from 1000 to 5000 yards beyond
the starting point. A short time later
the infantry had deployed in many
places far ahead of these objectives.
The number of captured and slain
Germans is staggering. Prisoners al
ready fill the prepared cages to over
flowing, while dead Germans and dead
German horses strew the ground ev-
erywhere.

THINGS MIGHTY QUIET IN MAYS
VILE

For the past two days things have
been quieter in Maysville than they
have been for many days past. The
closing of various stores and pool
rooms and the discontinuing of the
sale OF soft drinks of all kinds and
soda fountains together with the fact
that few people are congregating on
the street has made things ABOUT town
very quiet
