was witnessed by a number of per-
sons. among them two women who
tainted at the dreadful sight meeting
their view.
Undertaken George r. Davis, of
Paris, was notified, and went to Es-
condida, where he took charge of the
body and brought it to the under
taking establishment of George w.
Davis, in this city, where it was pre-
pared for burial. The body was
taken to Montgomery county yester-
day and inferred in the old Prewitt
burying ground, with services con-
Quoted at the grave.
The unfortunate young woman is
survived by her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. William Prewitt; two sisters,
Mrs. Lillian Boggs, of Lexington,
and Mrs. William Kincaid, of North
Middletown; three brothers, H. Clay

"FLO-FLO" AT PARIS GRAND To-
NIGHT.

Every now and then a real musi-
cal play comes along that is dis
tinctly worthwhile for the theatre
goer. Sometimes the difficulty is to
sift the good from the bad, for all
are more or less effusively announc-
ed in advance. The only assurance
is in the responsibility and reputa-
ton of the management and the
newspaper reviewers in other cities.
John Cort will offer his latest
musical comedy sensation entitled
'Flo-Flo," for approval here. Mr..
Cort has always stood for the best
and the most artistic things in the
theatre. In producing "Flo-Flo' he
has spared no pains in having the
cast and production as nearly perfect
as possible.

OLD PARTISAN TELLS ANCIENT
BASEBALL HISTORY

While a group of Paris men were
discussing the worlds series games
the other day, one of their number,
who has progressed far along the
Journey of life, contributed the fol-
lowing bit of ancient baseball his
tory for Paris:
I'm the spring days of 1868, some
small boys were underneath a freight
car near Paris, on the old Kentucky
Central road, now the Louisville e
Nashville, cutting for four or five
days the springs of one of the
wheels, which were made then Of
rubber, which was wrapped tightly
with cord and yarn, and then cover
ed with leather. This was the first
baseball ever used in Paris, to my
certain knowledge, for / was one of
the lads who helped to make it. and
guess I ought to know
The first baseball club I can re-
member was called the Paris Wayer-
legs, composed of boys of about my
age, at that time, and the first game
played in Paris that I can remember
was played between this club and a
club from Mt. Sterling. This game
was played on the old mill lot near
the Billy Shaw flour mill, on the
banks of Stoner, now the Paris Mill
ing Company. And it was a great
affair, as baseball went in those
days. Not many of the members of
either teams are alive to-day, I sup
pose. / can recall seeing this game,
as the pitchers pitched the ball with
an underhand throw. 1t was called
town BALI then, very different from
the way the game is played to-day"

BANK INSTALLING MAMMOTH
SAFETY VAULT DOOR.

A mammoth burglar and fire-proof
vault door, made of manganese steel
and reinforced concrete, is being in
stalled in the Peoples Deposit Bank
& Trust Co.'s rooms, at the corner of
Main and Fourth streets. To install
the door, which weighs $4,000
pounds, it was necessary to tear out
a portion of the side wall of the
building. The mammoth door is cir
cular in shape, and is designed to fit
in place as accurately as the case Of
watch. In another place in this
issue is shown a half-tone cut Of the
big door, which will give an idea of
it's appearance.

the State ticket shows that the
Republicans have no hope of carry

platform pledges, whatever they are
worth, into effect. The whole plan
is to land Morrow in the Governors
Office and make a gerat ado before
