BRILLIANT PHoToPLAY, II
1.-THE FIGHTING CHANCE"
BY r. w. CHAMBERS

The novel which first brought Rob-
ert W. Chambers into prominence and
which by most of his admirers is re-
garded as his best in ''The FIGHTING
Chance" 1t is a brilliant study of
New York society. The central fig
ures are man and a woman, each
in the grip Of an hereditary faint.
The man has inherited strong taste
for alcohol, while the woman is the
descendant of long line of morally
weak ancestors. How their love for
each other at length conquers the
influence of the past forms the theme
of the story. -
"The Fighting Chance" has been
produced as Paramount-Artcraft
photoplay and is the attraction at the
Elko. theatre today and tomorrow.
A notable cast appears in the pic
ture, with Conrad Nagel and Anna O..
Nilsson in the chief roles. Charles
Maigne directed the picture. 49,"
Larry Lemon in his funniest COM
edy, "The Heat Waiter" and de-
lightful music are added attractions,

An Acre.
The word acre is derived from the
old Anglo Saxon word :aecer, and ;is
identical with the Latin word aRer,
meaning cultivated field. l. The Eng
lish acre consists of 1910 square
yards, or $3.50 square feet. II your
field is a rectangle, that is, having
four; sides and each. angle a right
angle or square corner" It's area is
obtained by multiplying the length by
the breadth. If your measurements
are in rods the: result will be square
rods; If in yards, square yards; and
IL In feet, square feet. A field 1872
feet by 1875 feet Of rectangular shape
contains 1850 square feet. It is
therefore, half an acre. But a rec
tangular field might be different
length and width, and yet contain an
acre. For example, II it Is $50 feet
long and 66 feet wide it will contain
q, 7o0 square, feet, or half an acre."

Georges Clemenceau, THE Tiger

ten years, still retains all the vigor
of man in his prime, has put into
his story, 1.-THE Strongest" which
William Fox will present in it's film
form at the Rex theatre on Tuesday
and Wednesday, all the force, all the
strength, all the personality that
made him dictator of the peace terms
which the Allies imposed on the Ger
mans. Georges Clemenceau knows
people, he knows the world, he
knows life. His own life has been q
struggle, continuous and successful,
against opponents of unusual skill
and resourcefulness.
He has put into his one and only
novel, "The Strongest" which is a
powerful story with a thrilling
theme-a story of France today
characters which he knows thorough
ly, with which he has come in con-
tact. They live, breath, and have
human faults. ,Clemenceau does not
make his hero demigod who can do
no wrong, nor does he make his viii
lain a BLACKBOARD who can do no
right. There is good in the bad of
the world, and in making his only
photoplay from his only novel, Geor-
ges Clemenceau has kept this ever be-
fore him.

that she will find good deal of what
she needs. .

"Of oil we are sure to lind all we

and the capitalists are reluctant to-
invest money on what they consider
hopeless enterprises. Oil prospecting
in Italy is not in honor, and yet as

Mrs. Fannie Carver, of Commerce
street, was advised this morning OF
the very sudden death in Washington
City last night of her brother, Mr.
Bruce Austin, former local printer,
Who for many years has held a very
important position as foreman in the
Government printing office.
Mr.. Austin was about So years Of
age and was appointed to the Govern
ment position by Congressman
Thomas H. Paynter many years ago.
He was employed on the Daily Bulle-
tin at the time of receiving the ap-
pointment.
Although he has long been located
in Washington, Mr.. Austin has always
held to Maysville as his home making
regular trips back to Maysville at
each presidential election to vote. He
did not make his regular trip this year
becauseof the provision enabling him
to vote by mail.
Mr., Austin's death was unexpected
While he has been i'll for several
weeks, he was not thought to be in 9
serious condition.

they will march to the Liberty ware
house.
While in Maysville Wednesday, the
members of the Trinity Band will be
the guests of the Chamber of Com
merce and a banquet will be served
them at noon.
There has been closer bond be-
tween the people of Lewis and Mason
county for the past year than ever be-
fore. This is due to the Farm Bureaus
of both counties which have worked
together to the interest of all and the
organization of a Boys Band at Trim
ity has also been greatly helped by
the interest Of Mason couptians all OF
which has had part in binding the
people of those two great counties

Our Lewis county neighbors will be
welcomed heartily to Maysville and
nothing will be left undone to make
them feel welcome.

COMPROMISE IN :
EDDINS Case IS
NOT LIKELY NOW
Slayer of Cotton Mill Nightwatchman
VIII Again BE Likely Put On Trial
on Charge OF First Degree
Murder.

A compromise for reduction of the
charge against Henry L. Eddins, the
slayer of Ben Schumacher, night
watchman at the Maysville Cotton
Mills, to. manslaughter, which seemed
possible few months ago, now seems
unlikely. 1t is known that District
Prosecutor Grannis rejected such a
suggestion before the first trial of the
case which resulted in a hung jury.
1t appears that there will be moth
ing in the way of the trial Of the case
during the first week of the December
term of the Mason Circuit Court which
opens one week from next Monday.
The refusal of the Court Of Appeals to
rule on certain points of law involving
the admissability of certain confeA-
sions as testimony leaves the case in
exactly the same condition as ii was
when ii was previously tried.
The elapse of time since the killing
of Schumacher does not seem to have
dampened the interest in the case and
it is expected that great interest VIII
be displayed by the public at the call
ing of the case. So far as has been
learned, there has been nothing new
developed in the case although the Of
ficials have been working on the case
for several months. Attorney Collins,
Cole and O'Donnell will defend Eddins
while District Prosecutor Grannis and
County Attorney Rees will have
charge of the prosecution.

DUBLIN IS IN A

British Soldiers In Complete Charge
OF Irish Capital and Every House

Searched.

Dublin, November %. Dublin is
in state of siege, today, with virtual
ly every British soldier in the eastern
part Of Ireland massed in or around
the city in the greatest military con-
centration in local history.
Every road and railroad is closed by
the troops, and only persons holding
permits are allowed to pass beyond
the outskirts of the city. Even mail
trains are held up. Telegraph offices
are closed to all but censored press
messages.
The troops are searching every
house or other building in the city in
the belief that the leaders in the Irish
murder campaign" are in hiding
within the military lines. The raids
are attended by more than the usual
number of armed conflicts, and the to-
tai of dead and wounded, it is report
ed, will reach appalling figures.
