COMMITTEE WILLPAY FOR
BAND STAND, MANAGER SAYS
Managing Committee Of the Maysville
Boys Band VIII Take the Clty's
Band Stand Over and
Pay For Same.

Colonel j. Barbour Russell, busi-
ness manager of the Maysville Boys
Band announced this morning follow
ing the action last night Of the Mays
vile City Council in refusing to pay
for the municipal band stand, that the
managing committee of the band
would take over the band stand and
see that it is properly finished and
paid for in full.
Colonel Russell also stated that the
band would be in first class condition
and that the contractors had promised
to have the stand ready for use by
Saturday. The electricians are now at
work on the stand and hope to have
it wired by Saturday so that the first
evening concert can be given by the
band in the stand on Saturday even
ing at eight o'clock.
Just how the managing committee
plans to pay for the stand was not
made known by Colonel Russell but
1t is more than likely that there are
many of our business men and citizens
who would like to have part in
helping to pay for the stands erec-
tiOn.

GOVERNMENT TAKES
TRAIL FOR the BOMB
THROWERS OF MONDAY
Ring Of Anarchists Who Planned May
Day Outrages Suspected-All
Clews Followed.

Washington, June 3.-Secret service
agents throughout the country today
hunted an Anarchists ring, believed
responsible for a bold attempt upon
the life of A. Mitchell Palmer, attor-
ney general, here last night, and eff
forts to kill prominent persons else
where in the United States.
In the fragments found after ter
rorist killed by the bomb which rip
ped open the front of the Palmer home
and shattered windows, furniture and
bric-a-brac in Washingtons most
fashionable residence district, is the
only clew the police have as to the
death plot.
Upon the sweatband of the dead
mans hat appeared the name BE
luca Bros, hatters, Philadelphia. Al
some distance from his scorched and
blood-stained clothing was found q
dictionary. Hat and book had beer
purchased recently.
These clews, coupled with other
odtrages last night and those perpe-
trated in Philadelphia six months ago
when homes of three prominent citi-
zens were shattered by bombs a
night, led officials here to believe the
Anarchists gang may be directed from
Philadelphia.
That it may be the same ring that
threatened May Day tragedy avertet
only by the finding April 29 of score
of undelivered bombs in the New Yorl
PostoffiCe after one had exploded fol
lowing delivery at the home of Will
liam H. Hardwick, Georgia, was tht
belief of officials here.
Working on this theory every pre-
caution was being taken to guard the
homes of other government officials
who, with Palmer, were marked" fol
death by the May Day plotters. Police
and soldiers have been thrown abou
the homes of officials whose safet!
may be threatened

Bands-Big Street Parade In
the Morning.

Wednesday is circus day in Mays
vile. The first of>the season for dur
ing the early hours of morning. Gen.
try Bros. long train of cars bearing
the 200 odd ponies, elephants, lions,
camels, dogs and monkeys, will arrive
and proceed to the Mason County In
firmary circus grounds where two ex-
hibitions will be given. Gentry Broth
ers have always presented the clean
est and best exhibition of its kind and
1t is said the 1918 program surpasses
all former efforts. The schedule of
events will be as follows:
Arrives a. m. Location of grounds
Mason County Infirmary. Street pa
rade 10:S0 a. m. Doors open lis and
7:15 p. m. Performances 2:15 and
8:15 n. m.
This popular show has been en-
larged and improved in every depart
ment. A complete programme is pre-
sented by the Domestic Animal Ac-
tors, augmented by complete wild
animal circus. This portion of the en-
tertainment is given in a large steel
arena and the lions, leopards, pumas
and other wild animals are put thru
their various acts by Lady Trainers.
This feature has been added to Gen.
try Brothers show since their last ap-
pearance in this city.
There is every reason to believe
that the city will be filled to over
flowing with people from all over this
section. 1t has been a long time since
J there has been circus in Maysvilie
and any sort of circus would have
attracted a large crowd but Gentry
Brothers shows have always been
looked upon as the best there is in
! dog and sony shows and inasmuch as
the management has added wild ami
mails and has stepped out into the
real circus field there is every reason
to believe that Gentry will furnish as
good real circus as he has always fur
nished dog and pony shows.
Although the circus ground is quite
a distance out of the city, 1t is To-,
Gated on the street car line and those
desiring to attend will be put to lit
tie trouble to reach the grounds.
The management promises real
old fashioned circus street parade
with lions, elephants, ponies and
bands galore and this in itself will
draw a great crowd to the city.

in Paris and other cities of France
when the towns or cities were about
to be raided by a fleet of German
planes.
Arrangements are completed for the
landing place at the County Infirmary
grounds and these grounds will be
marked off properly on Thursday
morning. The plane will be in Mays
vile for at least two days and will
make daily flights giving the people in
all the surrounding territory an op-

SMALLPOX At AUGUSTA
IS PROVING SERIOUS
Several Cases Of What Is Thought to
BE Smallpox ut Augusta-HOmes

erings Prohibited.

There Is quite a smallpox scare at
Augusta Just at this time and some
sixteen or eighteen homes In the
Bracken county town are quarantined
while all public gatherings are pro-
hibited and the Commencement exer-
cises have been called off for the
present.
It seems as though for several
weeks folks about Augusta have been
suffering from aches about the head
and back and with breaking out on
the body. The aifliction became so
prevalent and seemed so contagious
that the health authorities began a
thorough investigation and called In
an expert from the State Board of
Health, who pronounced the trouble q
light form of smallpox.
1t seems as though the disease was
first spread in Augusta, May II, when
| snow boat exnlDlted at Augusta ana
when standing room on the boat was
at premium.
Up to the present time there have
been no serious cases of the disease
developed although vaccination is the
chief occupation Of Augusta citizens
and every possible precaution is be-
ing taken to prevent the spread of the
disease to other communities.
Although at present there is no
great fear of the spread of the disease
in Mason county, County Health Of
ficer Rice in speaking Of the Bracken
county epidemic this afternoon, ad-
vised all not now vaccinated to be
vaccinated at once.
