Big AUDIENCE
SHOULD HEAR
DR.. ACHESON
Learned Educator and Gifted Speak
er VIII Tonight Tell Of Y. NJ. c.
A. Work Over There.

The address of DR.. A. c. Acheson
which will be given at the First Pres
tyterian Church this evening prom
ises to be one of the most interesting
addresses on war subjects the people
of Maysville and Mason county have
had opportunity to hear.
Those who have heard DR.. Acheson
say that he is one of the best speak
ers in the whole country. His ad-
dresses are always beautiful not alone
in expression but in words as well.
Speaking upon such a great subject
as he will handle this evening, it is
thought that he will be wonderful.
For many years this prominent edu-
Gator has been interested in Y. NJ. C.
A. work although his educational
work is entirely with women and
when the officials of the American Y.
NJ c. A. wanted some one to go to
Europe to inspect the actual work be-
ing done by the organization among
the American soldiers who have gone
over there, they chose DR.. Acheson.
Upon his return he delivered his re-
port to the organizations officials and
then the public wanted to know some
thing about the work. He consented
to make a few addresses on his recent
trip and Maysville is indeed fortunate
in being one of the cities selected in
the state of Kentucky for DR.. Ache
son to tell of his inspection trip.
The fame of this learned man who
is now president of the Pennsylvania
College for Women at Pittsburgh, has
spread all over the country and all
living in this section who can posi-
bly, get to Maysville this evening
should hear him The church is large
and will comfortably seat a good
sized audience but it is expected that
there will be an unusually large
crowd to hear him this evening and
those desiring seats are urged to
come early.

DOVER man HAS NARROW
ESCAPE FROM DROWNING
Col. Sam Frazee While Fishing Falls
Into Deep Water But Finally
Makes Way to Shore.

The Dover News says: While fish
ing on Lees Creek one day last week
Col. Sam A. Frazee met with a mis-
hap that came near causing his death
by drowning.
He was fishing at the deep hole of
water at the short bend of the creek
above the bridge and when chang
ing his position the steep bank gave
way and he was plunged into water
over his head.
The soft mud in the battom of the
pool was "boot-top-deep" and Mr.,
Frazee met with great difficulty in
keeping his head above water. 1t
was only by grasping a small bush
that he was enabled to eXtricate him
self. which he finally succeeded in
doing after struggling for more than
half an hour.
He was alone at the time and was
so thoroughly exhausted when he
reached the bank that he was unable
to walk. Within an hour he had re-
gained sufficient strength to walk
home unaided
In addition to the near fatal duck
ing. Mr.. Frazee was somewhat bruis-
ed about the back of his shoulder
and ran fish hook through one of his
fingers; 1t required the aid of Dr.
Smith to remove the hook.
1t was a close call for Uncle Sam,
and hereafter when he goes out to
fish he will no doubt
Hang his clothes on hickory limb
And not go near the water"
1t was at this same spot that Mr.,
Alex Hanna was accidentally drown
ed several years ago while fishing.

THREE CASES GROW
OUT Of one IN
POLICE COURT
George Kinney Fined on DisOrderly
Conduct Charge and George and
Arthur Dale Are Dismissed.

The case against George Kinney
charged with disorderly conduct
growing out of fight brought about
by alleged pro-German statements de-
veloped to three separate cases in
Police Court yesterday afternoon.
The testimony of the witnesses for
the city was to the effect that Kin
ney, under the influence of liquor, en-
tered into an argument with Glen
Finch in Dales soft drink saloon in
Market street on Wednesday night
and was ordered from the place by
the owners. Later Arthur Dale and
Kinney had trouble on Market street
just below the saloon and Kinney is
alleged to have struck at Dale, who
warded off the blow and struck the
alleged aggressor. Kinney was fined
81 and costs on the disorderly con-
duct charge and his alleged pro-Ger-
man statements were referred to the
Federal authorities.
In his testimony, the defendant in
this case said that Arthur Dale struck
him without provocation and that he
did not strike at Dale first. On this
statement City Attorney Daily asked
that a warrant be issued for Arthur
Dale but after hearing the evidence
the court dismissed the case.
Another warrant was then issued
for George Dale charging him with
disorderly conduct in that some wit
ness in the case had intimated that
George Dale had followed his brother
and Kinney onto the sidewalk and
had urged his brother to strike Kin
ney.
DR.. ]. A. Simpson was used by the
city as a prosecuting witness in this
case and he testified that he heard
George Dale urging his brother to
strike Kinney. Dale and his brother
testified otherwise however and Kin
ney said that he did not think George
Dale came onto the scene until af-
ter the blows had been struck. After
hearing all of this evidence, Judge
Whitaker dismissed this case also.
AS the alleged Pro-German state
ments could not be heard in the Po-
lice Court for a lack of jurisdiction,
Chief Ort will refer these charges to
County Attorney w. II. Rees, who is
the local representative of the Depart
ment of Justice and Federal Appeal
agent for the Mason County EXemp-
ton Board.

will be held in this city during the
latter part of the month of August

ences and Mr.. Ball says that he was
assured the best available speakers
would be sent to Mason county and
he is urging all of the people of the
