BOYS BAND MAKES
GREAT HIT IN FIRST
PUBLIC APPEARANCE
Much Praise For Leader and Dlrec.
tor Of Maysville Band-Luke Nc.
Luke Proves Better Writer
Than Speaker.

There was splendid audience at
the Washington Opera House We'd
nesday evening to attend the enter
tainment given by the Maysville Boys
Band and Luke McLuke, the Cincin-
natl humorist The first part of the
entertainment was one of the biggest
hits the people of Maysville have
known in recent years while the least
said about the Cincinnati fun maker
Is probably the best. 1t is sufficient to
say that Luke McLuke is much better
read than heard.
The first appearance of the Mays
vile Band of course, brought many
parents, relatives and friends of the
members of the band to the Opera
House and they were more than sur
prised. Those who have been hearing
the band practise occasionally had
promised all that there would be an
agreeable surprise in store for them
but no one realized how big the sur
prise would be until the curtain was
lifted and at Prof. Young's command
the band launched into its first tune.
This music was enough to win the
house and the enchore was loud and
long. The Boys Band had made a
hit and had won place in the hearts
Of the people of Maysville.
Thursday morning nothing was
heard but praises for the organization
and its leader and director, Prof. ]. w.
Young and wife. Prof. and Mrs. Young
have certainly demonstrated to the
people Of Maysville that they thor
oughly understand how to instruct
youngsters in music.
It would be unfair to mention the
organization only as boys band for
there were several young ladies in it
and every one of them deserve special
mention for the fine music they gave.
The local gentlemen who brought
Luke McLuke to Maysville for lee
ture did it only because Luke was
their personal friend and they wanted
him to come to Maysville and speak
to a Maysville audience. They had
no desire to make money out of the
entertainment and after all expenses
were paid they turned the profits of
the lecture which amounted to $4,000
over to the Boys Band to assist them
in the purchase of uniforms.
Maysville people have now a taste
Of what the band can do and they
will be very impatient to hear the
band again. The next public appear
ance Of the organization will be at the
County Conference in the First Pres
byterian church on Friday evening
and this one feature will undoubtedly
draw a large crowd to the church.

H|LLSBORO man
ADMITS HAVING
FUSS WITH Wife
Man Under Arrest For Horrible Muir.
der Of His Wife Admits Having
Razor During Argument.

Hillsboro, Ohio, March 2O-Five
minutes before he formally was
charged with the murder OF his wife
Charlotte, Horace Barnes, moving
picture theater proprietor, made a
confession, In part, of his crime in a
cell at the Highland County Jail.
I'VE had fuss, and | remember
throwing razor on the floor or on
the COUCH" Barnes said, gazing va
cantly at his inquistors. 81 do not
remember slashing my wife's throat
l do not remember the thing that
caused 1t all. heard her scream,
and the next thing l knew | was dis
posing Of razor"
Barnes was taken before Mayor
wilkins for his preliminary hearing
and was bound over to the grand jury
on charge Of first degree murder.
Ever since he was found by Deputy
Sheriff "Banty" Schweinsberger hid
ing in a barn Wednesday afternoon
Barnes stoutly had maintained he did
not kill his wife. and repeatedly de-
MED that she was dead.
Sheriff Henry Erwin, Marshal Will
liam Walker and other city and coun-
ty officers who have kept close watch
over Barnes since the crime became
known Wednesday morning are con-
vinced Barnes temporarily was de-
ranged.
The most minute and searching in
vestigation fails to reveal a motive for
the crime. Mr.. and Mrs. Barnes had
no quarrels In the seven years D. F..
Mercer, an employee, knew them in
timately.
OF late, however, Barnes appeared
to be working under a tense mental
strain. He constantly complained
about the quality of pictures he was
receiving, although employees of his
two showhouses declare they have
been of the best.
When Barnes went to the home Of
Mrs. Agnes Ochs, where he lived with
his wife, he appeared to be in a nor
NAL state Of mind. He chatted with
his wife and Mrs. Ochs, and assisted
the former in drying her hair.
Mrs. Ochs talked with the couple
for several minutes, then went to the
kitchen to read a letter. Following
her, Barnes asked about the health of
her son, from whom the letter had
been received, and then went back in
to the room with his wife. A few
minutes later Mrs. Ochs heard Mrs
Barnes scream for help.
AS she was rushing to a neighbors
to summon assistance Mrs. Ochs look
ed back and saw Barnes, in his shirt
sleeves. washing his hands at the
kitchen sink. Returning moment
later with George Ballantine, neigh
Dor, they found Mrs. Barnes dead on
the floor. Her throat had been cut
almost from ear to ear Barnes had
81 don't know how | got out of the
house or where I went after leaving
It," Barnes said. 81 did not intend tc
end my life In the pond. I fell into
the water while trying to climb the
bank"
Sheriff Erwin doubts this latter
statement, as he examined the ground
near the spot where Barnes went into
the water and found no evidence to
bear out the assertion Barnes made
Of slipping and falling.

In every large city where there Is a Salvation Army corps girls who have been helped back into the normal pace of a workaday world are proud of the membership in this club Disappointed, loveless girls who do not forget kindnesses shown them in their hour of greatest need give out of love to help other girls receive the same friendliness. In a simple, quiet way, this unique idea has been maintained for over 20 years.
 In every large city In the country there are girls who have needed the ministrations of the Salvation Army. After they have been helped and sent on their way again they become life members of this club if they so desire. Only girls are admitted who have given a good account of themselves for at least one month in the positions found for them by the Salvation Army after their release from a hospital or home. These girls pledge themselves to keep alive the spirit of friendliness and home which the Salvation Army has spread among them. The girls are expected to dress in a plain, simple way, and avoid in any sense of the word gaudy or tawdry clothing.
 Gossiping or tale bearing Is tabooed. If members of the club transgress this rule they are liable to suspension for a month or longer. The Out of Love Club" is one of the many activities that will benefit by the success of the SaIva- ton Army House Service Fund Cam paign for s13.OOO, 900 May 1926.

TIN KING SUES
 ACTRESS WIFE
Daniel C.. Reid Says She Went to Hotel With An
 other Man.

! New York, May 2O-DanieI G. Reid. millionaire tin plate man, be- gan suit in the Supreme Court yester- day. for an absolute divorce from young Mrs Margaret Reid. whom he married in Paris. Aug. 24. 1910.
 Although the papers are sealed. 1t is understood that the offences alleg- ed in the papers are said to have oc- cured between April and last in the Hotel Chatham in this city, and between April 22 and 30 at the Ho- tel Belleview. San Francisco.
 Mrs. Reid before her marriage was Mabel Carriere an actress. She was the fnancier's third wife. The first wife, who died about 20 years ago. leaving one daughter. was married to { Mir. Reid when they lived in Rich mond, Ind. The second wife was Clarisse Agnew. a musical comedy actress whom he espoused in 1900. She was taken i'll in London, and though her husband spent a fortune tying to restore her health, she died In 1904.
 Miss Carriere. who came from De- troit, was about twenty-three when she married. Her rise on the stage had been rapid. She came to New York to attend school. but later de- cided to go on the stage. She first appeared in the Casino as a show girl. The Shuberts gave her a part in "The Runaways." She was also seen in "A Chinese Honeymoon" and "A wAst Point Cadet" .siSs-
 During fhe war Mrs. Reid gave most of her time to canteen work at ,Irvington- on the Hudson. Mrs. Henry lJ. Topping. the tinplate mans daugh- ter by his first marriage, was closely with her-in this. The two women are about the same age and spent much time together.
 Mir. Reid is sixty-one years old. He attained his present position fin the financial world after a sensational rise from farmer boy. He was born in Richmond, Ind, and became inter ested in the tinplate industry in that State before he came to New York in 1899. Here he soon became an in ternational figure in finance. He aided in organizing and became President of the American Tin Plate Company. He is also a director in many large corporations. His fortune is estimated at $40, 100000 to $50.oOo.o00. His home is at No. 907 Fifth avenue.

the East End of London disguised in rags that she might help the unfor- tunate. When her father stood erect amid a storm of abuse and even physi. cal violence she stood beside him.
 She knows how the poor suffer be- cause she has suffered with them. She knows there still remains in the wreck of a absolute man a spark of man. hood that will kindle a redeeming flame, because she has famed many fiickering sparks until her patient has regained his feet. She now heads the Salvation. Army in the United States at the great moment of It's career. The old time slurs and doubts have been banished. During the week of May 1928 the Salvation Army will appeal to the people of the United States for thirteen million dollars to carry out its after-the-war program. Contribute to the Salvation Army Home Service Fund Campaign. Remember, to the Salvation Army "A Man May. Be Down, but He's Never Out"
