of Court.
to
Elmer E Wolf, of Balnbrldge, was
In Portsmouth Sunday says the
Portsmouth Times, to compromise
the damage suit recently filed
against him by MIbs Olara Malonc,
but to all reports it was a frigid
reception he got at the hands of the
girl's family.
It was at the noon hour when
Wolf presented himself at the home
of Fred Hughes, the girl's step
father.
Both Mr. and Mrs Hughes were
at home and to them Wolf stated
the object of -his mission. They In
dignantly spurned his oiler and
abruptly ended the Interview with
the statement that the case was
In the hands ol their lawyers. Ac
cording to Mr. Hughes, Wolf's visit
lasted only about two minutes.
At the Hughes home he said he
would make any sort' of a concession
to keep the case out of courts.

Fast Pacing.
Jimmy Farrel, Dr. W. A. Holmes'
fast pacing horse, made a new record
of 2:12J. and secured second money In
one of the fastest races paced on a
half mile track this year. The second
heat of the race was paced In 2:09,
and In this heat Jimmy Farrel was
second. He won the third heat In
2:12. Dr. Holmes says he Is going to
rest him up this week and will Btart
him next week at Cambridge, where
he expects to give him a mark as
good as 2:40. If Jimmy Farrel can
pace a mile In 2:10 on a half mile
track It means that he Is good for 2:05
on a mile track and able to hold his
own in any kind of company.

Goos on a Hay Ride and Takes
a Few Shots at the
Picnic Supper.
He Can Not Understand the Work
ings of tho Hind That Proparos
tho Monu Advlsos Against
Pook-a-Boo Shirts.
Dear Bill: I have been through
the court of the last resort and tried
and found wanting. The proposition
is simply this : If a young man, neither
of whose parents has been hung, and
who is himself house broke and war
ranted not to shy at a dlrectolrc
gown, cannot bring at least one high
pressure sigh from his or some one's
else heart's desire on a hay ride, he
Is surely the original goat. That last
word, like other butter, Is susceptible
to Imitations, and after my exper
ience feel that "goatlne" would be a
much better term. I know It "was the
year 1008, but It might have been
anyothcr birthday for aughtof mine
there was simply nothing to the prop
osition. I couldn't hold hands even
with myself. I was the last doodle In
the field and they threw me on the
load to keep from desecrating the
scenery.
A hay-ride, when thc.party Is com
posed of those who should know better,
usually starts about sunset, and keeps
starting for at IcaBt two hours there
after. Ever see a pair of hay-ladders.
mil o HT.I.I -11.1 T 1...1 T '. ,
mil . neuuer uiu x, uuu x icn cm,
and If there weren't three of a kind
anyhow, T hope I may have to ride on
hay-ladders all my life. These especial
oncB were covered with the best grade
of timothy, seven, Beven and a half,
or eight dollars a ton, and the points
of the stuff were all spring tempered
and hand ground. Why there were so
many whlsps of the "new mowen"
Btlcklng to us that the driver in
sisted that we return It to the
wagon ; we did but there was many a
still hunt that night. Bill neve r wear
an open-work shirt on a hay ride,
never do. You can't tell me that
Longfellow or Ella Wheeler Wilcox
or Sankey or whoever It was that
wrote "Maud Mullcr" lived near a
farm. Why I had on low shoes and
tbc next time will wear hip boots.
Birc footed l Not unless Maud was
ptchydcrm. .,
Funny thing, but tbern Is never
enough room on a hay ride at the
start. I don't remember just the
exact number on this one, but on the
road home one wondered why the
organizers dldn'rMnvltc some orphan
asylum along for an outing just to
help fill up the excess space.
The ride out to where we ate supper
wasn't very exciting. I acted as brake
man but merely did the work ; the
rest told me how It should be done.
But there were at least two girls
there who must have been In training
for that supper or else the grocers in
thlB town "won't trust their fathers.
We were going out In the country
about four miles for the feed, but I'll
bet we hadn't passed the corporation
line before they began doing the
stunt of the lost soul crying for a drop
of water. In this case It wasn't water,
but the pull-bone. Before I forget It
I'll tell you that my deductions as to
their training or lost credits must
have been correct.
BUI, why Is It, that a picnic party
of twenty will take along eight
chickens, elxteen glasses of jelly, four
dozen pickles, three pounds of butter
and half a loaf of bread ? We did and
it was cut peek-a-boo style . Whoever
separated my piece from that half a
loaf must have had a mighty steady
nerve to make the two sides come so
closely together, but hU or her nerve
was a one, two, three phot compared
to the person's uho donated the
bread. There were some sandwiches
but I never did think much of these
fancy totlet soaps. And that was a
mighty good family knife too I don't
know to whom It belonged, but appar
ently I didn't look honest In the twi
light or else the owner was afraid It
was sharper than the one I had at
home. But thank the Lord, it was
almost dark when we ate and the in
stinct of the hands before forks era
stilled remained, I would have liked
s;me more bread though,
After the chaperone and I had
cleared away the remains by the
way Bill, if you want th real thing
in chaperones, just let me know and
forward the expense money we got
In on some of the moon light sonatas.
At least Mrs. Chap jjlned the chorus.
After a few classical selections like
"Honey Boy", "Arrah Wanna" and
"The Roses She Lay On Her Grand
mother's Hair", the musical prelude
stopped..
Then began the great discussion
"Is Matrimony affected by hair-pins,
or docs a man get beyond the 'I'll tell
you with my eyes' stage under three
nights a week ?" After it had been
reduced to simple terms by the rule of
three, Nietzsche's philosophy and the
humanistic reasoning of Pathagoras
and then had the searchlight of clear
logic from a few "O gee I but I'm
glad I'm free," has-beens thrown.upon
it, the decision was rendered unani
mously that each one was right and
the others could think as they "deem
prudent" Bill, this quoted phrase has
been variously interpreted but you
have probably heard it in Its simpler
form There were two or three girls
who took such a stand on the question
that I am terribly regretful about
having to come home.
BUI I don't think I'll tell you about
the ride home. I didn't brake that's
all. So-long. Jack
P. S. . I have a dollar on account,
but you hadibcttcr come soon.
EXCITING RUNAWAY.
Ed.
Buntain SufTors a
Shoulder.
Dlslocatod
An exciting runaway occurred on
our streets Tuesday afternoon about
six o'clock.
Frank Spargur and Aaron Stalker,
of Ralnsboro, and- Ed. Buntain, of New
Petersburg, driving a carriage to
which were hitched two horses had
started home. When they were about
In front of Spargur's store, on East
Main street, the neck yoke slipped on
the tongue and the carriage ran on
to the horses, scaring them and caus
ing them to runaway.
Mr Buntain and Mr. Stalker jumped
from the carriage, Mr. Buntain badly
dislocating his shoulder blade. Mr.
Spargur, who was driving, stuck to
his job and made record time going
out Main street. At the Children's
Home he ran the horses into the bank,
throwing one of them and was himself
thrown from the carriage. The horses
again started to run and the carriage
collided with a telephone pole, abso
lutely demolishing It.
Mr. Spargur and Stalker were un
hurt. Mr. Buntain was brought to
the olllcc of Dr. McBrlde and the
shoulder was temporarily set. The
doctor says that while Mr. Buntaln's
Injury was very painful that with
proper care the shoulder should be all
right In a short time.
Now Firm.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Stevenson, who
have been living at Louisville, Ky
for the past three years, arrived here
Saturday and will make this their
home. Mr. Stevenson has formed a
partnership with Frank Emmcillng.

employ and Is known to the people of
this county as a most excellent watch

ORGAN RECITAL
An
Ovation for Mrs. Pruo Robin
son Balrd.
The many friends here of Mrs Pruc
Robinson Balrd, will read with pleas
ure the following account of a recital
recently given by her at Washington
C. H., and clipped from the Fayette
County Herald. Mrs. Balrd has fre
quently visited her aunt, Mrs. George
B. Gardner here and has charmed
HUlsboro audiences by her exception
al skill as a musician.
"An artist In the highest musical
sense, Mrs. Prue Robinson Balrd ad
ded one more leaf to the laurels which
were already her's lu Friday night's
organ recital at Grace church. A
cultured and appreciative audience
gave signal approval, recalling the
organist repeatedly. Always a won
derfully talented musician, Mrs Balrd
lu her organ study under Prof. W. C.
Carl, of New York, has achieved su
perb mastery of the instrument.
Brilliancy of technique asserts itself
to an unusual degree, but la yet subor
dinated to the musical tempcrment
which gives to each composition ex
quisite Interpretation.
Mrs, Balrd's finest work was done in
the opening number, "First Sonata,"
Alex Gullmant ; the theme carried
In the pedaling. "Toccata in F Maj
or," Crawford, and "Wedding Music,"
Th. Dubois, were particularly bri.
Uant, but perhaps the "Benediction
Nuntiale." Alfred Holllns, In which
the heavenly harmonies of the vox
cclcstls stop were dominant, was the
most beautiful number of the pro
gram." George W. Barrerc jr , of the State
Bureau of Public Accounting, who
hab been assisting in the examination
of the books of Clark county, arrived
home Saturday. They have com
pleted this examination aud began
on the examination of Richland
county Wednesday.
ENGLISH UNFAIR
Ed Cook ol Chlllioothe Member
of American Olympic Toam
Confirms Report.
Discourtesy Shown Americans Even
by Quoon Crowd Hoot and Joor
Thorn Cook Gains Now Lau-
rols in Foreign Flolds.
Ed, Cook, the young Chllllcothc
athlete, who was a member of the
American team at the Olympic
games recently held in London, ar
rived home last Friday.
Young Cook Is well known here
having participated In field meets
here as a member oi the Chllllcothc
High School team He Is remembered
as a athlete of unusual ability and
one who would not even think of doing
an unfair or unsportsman like thing
He brought home eight medals, five
gold and three stiver. One gold and
one silver from the Olympic and four
gold and two silver from the meet he
took part In at Paris He speaks in
the highest terms of the treatment
of the Americans at Paris but says
their treatment by the English wai
very unfair. Sir A. Conan Doyle,
Lord Dcsbrough and Sir Thomas Lip
ton, he says, were the only English
men who were "all right." He was
entertained at the home of Conan
Doyle and also by Sir Thomas Llpton
The following clipped from the
f'hllllcothe Gazette shows Cook's
opinion of the English treatment of
the Americans :
"Everything that the papers have
Bald about the unfalrneBS of 'the Eng
lish judges of the game Is true, and
more besides," declared Ed. Cook,
Chllllcothc's Olympic athlete, who
reached home on Friday. Such a
statement from Cook means much,
since everyone knows him for a con
servative, fair-minded young man,
who likes to think the best of every
one; and conditions must have been
bad Indeed to Induce him to hold such
an opinion and to make such a
statement.
The unfairness and petty meanness
of tbc British athletic judges showed
Itself at every opportunity and lu
every event; the British spectators
applauded every winner who was not
an American but not a single Ameri
can : taunts and jeers were shouted
at the Americans. Tnls dislike of
Amei leans and antagonism to them
extended even to the occupants of
the royal box, who applauded all
winners except the Americans. Even
Queen Alexandra, In bestowing the
medals, had a smile and a few words
for each foreign wiuncr, but spoke
not a word to any American and hard
ly looked at most of them, merely
handing out the medals, as If to say :
!'I niuet give you this but I do not
want to."
In tr? much-dlscuased 400 meter
race In which Carpenter, American
was disqualified for an alleged foul
ing of Haswclle, English and the race
ordered run again no Americans
starting, Cook states that be clearly
saw the whole race, that Carpenter
was ahead of the Englishman all the
way and never touched him, and that
the British were all prepared to -le-clare
a foul In order to win tho race
Cook and Carpenter, who Is the son
of Frank Carpenter the well known
writer of travel articles, were room
mates from the time of leaving New
York until they returned. Ater the
race Carpenter, who is a thorough
gentleman, asked Haswclle what he
thought of the race, but the English
man declined to make even a reply,
and had not enough manly courtesy
to make a statement exonerating the
Americans.
Cook himself felt the unfairness of
the English judges In the broad jump.
Wonder was felt here that Cook's
name did not appear as a competitor
In the finals of the event, his special
ty. It appears that most of the win
ners In the preliminaries were Ameri
cans, whereupon the judges, in defi
ance of the rule's, announced that
only three of the winners would be
allowed to compete in the final and
bo ruled as to shut out most of the
Americans, Including Cook.
The British Judges, Cook declares,
were neither sportsmen nor gentle
men, but bull-headed middle-class
Englishmen who were determined to
have England win by fair means or
foul English judge annoyed the
Americans when they tried to rest
between events ; they were the ones
who picked up the Italian, Dorando,
and carried him across the line in the
Marathon; and, in fact, they were
the ones who did all they could do to
hamper the "blarsted Yankees,"
Scarborough- Insurance
NATIONAL SHOOT.
Roprosontatlves of Local Company
Hako Good Records.
Corporal James Capllngcr returned
last Friday from Camp Perry where
he was one of the members of the 1st
regiment team in the Btatc regimen
tal shoot. This was Corporal Capllng
cr's first experience at competlvc
shooting and he made an exception
ally good record only lacking two
points of making the regimental team
of the National Shoot now being held
there.
Sergeant Ernest Miller, the other
representative from this company at
the state regimental shoot made the
team for the national shoot and Is
establishing a record In this shoot
which marks him as one of the best
rifle shots In the country. On Monday
In the championship regimental
match he made 84 out of a possible 100
and ranked third on the team.
In the national shoot there arc
teams from all of the different regi
ments of national guards from the
different states and also from the
regular army. The first regiment of
which the local company Is a part,
stands third In this competition and
la only 20 points behind the leaders.
The local company under the leader
ship ol Capt Underwood Is now recog
nized as one of the best drilled and
most efficient companies In the
National Guards of the state. It now
has 5o members and Is an organization
of which HUlsboro should be proud.
The local company will leave for
Ft. Harrison, Ind., on September 2,
where they will be in camp for eight
days. Thcre'wlll be a full army corp
In camp there. Regiments from Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky, rcgu
lar army regiments, troops of cavalry
and artillery will be In camp there at
that time.
They will be divided Into two armies
the Blue and the Brown and mimic
warfare will be carried on.
The experience for the members of
the local company will certainly be
unusually Instructive and Interesting

Fair This
Rapidly dawning Is the fifty-eighth
annual Ohio State Fair and Industrial
Exposition, to be held In Columbus,
August 31, September 1, 2, 3, 4, next,
with advance pronprct: that It will
far excel all others In educational
entertainment and amusement feat
ures. Never before have such heavy en
tries been recorded In Its competitive
departments, while the demand for
space for exhibiting farm, 9hop and
machinery has been so great as to
completely exhaust the capacity of
the buildings and platted ground de
voted to these displays, and It has
become necessary to create a large
overflow section of some fifteen acres,
that all may be accemmodated.
When It 1b considered that seventeen
mammoth buildings arc devoted ex
clusively to exhibits, some conception
of the stupendousness of the forth
coming Exposition can be formed
In anticipation of the splendid dls
plays now assured In the competitive
departments, the managers have con
tracted for amusement faatures ex
traordinary, Including an aerial car
nival under the direct supervision of
A. Roy Knabeoshue. The carnival
has aroused the greatest Interest
throughout the state, and Including,
as ltdocs, dally airship flights, balloon
races and ascensions, will attract vast
crowds. In addition to the serial
carnival visitors will be entertained
with feats of daring, skill and dexteri
ty, including O. E. Hardy, high wire
king ; Matt Gay, jouureault back
diver; MUle Spelhnan, with rcr
troupe of fifteen trained bca., ai.u
six other merito-lous performances.
These acts will occur in the open,
positively free to all.
The official program of the Exposi
tion has been Issued, and we note that
Tuesday, September 1, has been offici
ally designated as Modern Woodmen
of America Day. On this day Wood
craft will hold Its annual field day
exercises, Including a prize drill to be
participated In by crack teams of tie
Btatc and a varied program of athlet
ic contests, with liberal prizes offered
In each event. The committee in
charge confidently predicts that
twenty thousand Woodmen will be in
attendance, and that the event will
be the grandest In Bhe history of the
Order. Monday, August 31, will be
Women's Free Day, while on the clos
ing day the gates will be thrown open

CHAUTAUQUA
Oponod Saturday With Caleb
Howors, Who Dollveres a
Convincing Address.
Mozart Concort Company Ablo
Spoakers and Good Music Fea-
turos--Excosslvo Heat and
Rains Keop Mny Away.
Hillsboro's first Chautauqua opened
last Saturd iv afternoon with Caleb
Poweis as the chief attraction for
the first session.
Everyone knows of his wonderful
experience In connection with the
murder of Gov. Gocbel How he was
three times tried for complicity in
this murder, convicted each time, his
trials reversed by the federal courts
and of his pardon by Gov, Wilson,
Mr. Powers gives a history of the
affairs leading up to Goebcl's murder
and of his trials. Every one that
heard him was surprised at the lack
of rancor and hatred by him towards
those who have hounded him for the
last eight years, Be placed before
before his large audience In a clear,
florceful and apparently fair manner
the entire history of this rcgrctablc
affair, and convinced many who went
to hear him prejudiced against him
that he had been a badly persecuted
man. That his trials bad been simply
farces without even the semblance of
justice. The following expression by
one of our citizens seems to clearly
express the opinion of his entire audi
ence: "I was never before satisfied
that Caleb Powers had nothing to do
with the murder of Gobel, but I do
not believe anyone could have heard
him Saturday and not be fully con
vinced of his Innocence."
Walden, the magician, gave per
formances on Saturday afternoon and
evening and also again on Tuesday
evening. His feats are another proof
that the hand Is quicker than the eye.
Dr. E. H. Richards, who delivered
the Sunday morning sermon, has been
a missionary In Africa and India for
the last thirty years. He Is an unus
ually gifted speaker and his descrip
tion of the people, social conditions
and the country were both interest
ing and Instructive. His description
of the falls In the Madagascar River
was Indeed a gem of oratory aud one
of the 'nojt beautiful word pictures
ever given on a EUUsbjro platform.
He had so delighted his audience
that at the requeet of many the man
agement persuaded him to stay ovcf"
Monday and deliver a lecture Monday
evculug. In this lecture, although
the weather was very bad, all who
attended were well repaid aud Dr.
Richards 1b assured of a large audi
ca .c If he ever returns to HUlsboro.
Rev. Herbert Monnlger, who is a
specialist In Sunday School work, gave
very Interesting talks on his methods
which should bear good fruit. He is a
ready pleasing talker, always Inter
esting and instructive.
The Mozart Concert Company, one
of the muBlcal attractions of the pro
gram, has made a most decided hit.
They are a very talented group of
musicians and lovers of good music
have enjoyed very much their beauti
ful rendition of classical and popular
music. They have been repeatedly
encored at each of their performances
and the audiences have showed their
full appreciation by their enthusiastic
applause.
The weather so far has worked
against the complete success that was
hoped for for the Chautauqua. Sun
day and Monday being excessively
hot and the rain Monday night keep
ing a great many away.
Very little patronage outside of
HUlsboro citizens has so far been had,
the country people seemlnir to take
very little Interest In the programs.
Large crowds, however, are expected
to hear both Gov. Buchtel and Gov.
Johnson, who are speakers of national
reputation.
Askod to Resign.
A petition asking for tae resigna
tion of Arch Cook, the marshal of that
town, was presented to the council of
Balnbrldge last Friday night. The
petition was signed by thlriy-onc
I of the women of the town aud alleged
that the marshal's conduct had be
come "obcoxlous and nauseating In
regard to his actions at the home of
Maggie Beatty."
Balnbrldge certainly 1b having its
share of unsavory notoriety recently.
The woman named in the petition on
August 2nd gave birth to a child and
the marshal had been a frequent
visitor to her home. A few more
occurrences and Balnbrldge will stand
for about all that Is Immoral and
Impure.
