Urges Building Of Fireproof Homes

Standardization Of plumbing supplies
and builders hardware were given as
partial solutions Of the housing prob

New York building congress. Doctor
Stratton said the greatest waste ~
housing was caused by fire, ana this
had an unquestionable effect on the
shortage Of homes.
"Reccntly I returned from n trip
abroad. where ! inspected the homes
being erected there and which have
been erected In the past for the laboring
classes" he said. "Those houses are

BUILD IN FALL AND WINTER
According TO Engineers Money Spent
In Constructing Roads In Spring,
Is Wasted

The building Of roads In the spring
Is opposed by good engineers, who In
sist that money spent at that season
Is largely wasted They hold that
work should be done IN the fall and
winter, when the ground is In better
condition and when foundations can
be- laid with greater permanence,
They also criticize the skinny manner
in which foundations are laid, pointing
out that subsequent repair bills make
the whole cost much greater than the
cost OF solldly-built roads.

RUSSIAN COMPANY TO

Company Of Russian Musicians Com.
ing To Mysville Chautauqua
This Year.

Over and over we have had mixed
quartet, male quartet, and miscel-
laneous singing organization, and diff
ferent forms Of orchestras, in the vari-
GUS concerts in our community. In
deed, we have talent of our own that
is very good along these lines. We
have had so much of this same type,
that even though 1t is splendid in quail
ity, we naturally long for something
new and different.
1t Is well known that the high grade
Russian people are soulful and have
fine temperaments. Some Of their
writer's, like Tolstoy, are among the
most popular known. The Russian
ballet has been the highest form of
that type of music and action. We are,
therefore, extremely fortunate, this
year, in being able to secure COM
pany Of high-grade Russian musicians
for chautauqua, and we are certain
that we are presenting to the commun-
ity one Of the rarest musical treats It
has ever had. These Russians have
been In the United States seven years
and, therefore, understand our tastes.
There are five men and one woman.
It is an orchestra with vocal numbers
in addition. They play some Of the
peculiar instruments of Russia as we'll
as the universal They have beautiful
velvet costumes and wear the top
boots peculiar to Russia. The lady
member is a fine singer and several
Of the men are. Therefore, in COM

sicians, we are certainly able to pre-
sent to our people a wonderful, high
priced company 81 Russians.

PLANS ARE MADE
FOR THE BAND At
OHIO STATE FAIR
Managers Arrange Hotel Accommoda-
tons and Railroad Trip for
Kentucky Cardinals.

Col. j. Barbour Russell and Mr.. A.
L. Glascock returned Thursday night
from Columbus, Ohio, where they have
been making arrangements for the
Maysyille Boys Band during the Ohio
State Fair.
They have secured rooms at the
Chittenden Hotel. All being on the
same floor, with toilet and shower
bath to each room. They will eat their
breakfast and supper at the hotel in
private dining room and the noon
meal will be served at the fair grounds.
Mr.. Weber the assistant manager of
the hotel paid them good deal of at
tention and says when the boys ar
rive he will be there to see that their
need is granted.
The band will leave Maysville Sun
day, August 2S, at $40 on a special
car and go direct without change to
Columbus that evening. They will also
have the Travelling Passenger Agent
with them who will come here and
make the trip to Columbus to see
them safely landed in Columbus.
Mr.. Glascock and Col. Russell are
very much pleased with the rooms the
hotel gave them as they open out on
court and If the hot weather continues
they will certainly have as cool room
as at home.
Three roads have been after them
to carry them to Columbus, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Big Four, and the B. &
o. AS yet they have not made the
slection. They will leave Columbus on
Friday returning that night to Mays
vile. One railroad says they will see
that"they have lunch boxes filled and
coffee made for them during the trip
to Cincinnati coming home and have a
special car and their travelling agent
to stay with them until landed at
Maysville.
Mr.. Wilborn is appreciating our eff
forts to give Columbus good music and
is doing all in his power to put the
Boys Band in an attractive place. Mr..
Griffith Is surely doing his part in ad-
vertising them, saying the Maysville
Boys Band is one of their star attrac-
tions.

HARMON PLANNED
FOR HIS FUNERAL
and HIS BURIAL
Ohio Preacher VINO Shot Wife and Self
still Says He Wants
To Die.

In It's account Of the Harmon near
tragedy at Ellsberry, the Georgetown
(O) News-Democrat says in part.
Harmon Is 20 years Of age. He Is
educated and man of considerable
ability. His unconcernedness OF what
has taken place and his frank state
ment that he could not live unless he
lived with his wife comes from the
bottom of his heart. He adds that he
wants her to die, because he wants
also to die and he does not want any
body else to have her.
The revolver contained seven cham
bers and Harmon in his efforts had
thrown his wife down, they having
reached the outside of the home. He
was over her when John Whitehurst,
neighbor, climbed a fence, and pulled
him from his wife. Harmon then re-
entered the home and reloaded the re-
volver, and those who gathered heard
him firing.
Tuesday Prosecutor Bagby was at
the scene, He found Mrs. Harmon in
serious condition, but belief prevails
that she will recovery The letters
which Harmon had written, told of his
intention. That suit would be found
hanging in certain room, that his
body was to be returned to Kentucky
for burial and giving complete explain
alton. Prosecutor Bagby learned that
Harmon had disposed of various arti-
cles and some he had burned the night
preceding.
Since being brought to the county
Jail he had been getting along as we'll
as could be expected and unless some
thing unforeseen develops he will also
