The balloon ascension was not a
success , for some reason the Inflated
bag failed to rise to any considerable
height and the gas escaped so that
there was no great Interest attached
to the feat of the aeronaut.
E. C. Kennedy , the driver of Rush-
vlllo , Jr. , the St. Edwards horse , was
taken sick after the completion of the
race and was given medical attention.
The attack was of a temporary nature
nnd the physicians brought him
through with little dllUculty.

Some of the parts are well carried
while others are commonplace. The
sawmill scone , as one person In the
audience expressed It , "Is to d c
realistic to bo funny. " The sight of a
young woman travollnir toward n
whirling saw that you know Is going
rapidly enough nnd Is solid enough to
cut her In two and when no ono comes
lo the rescue until her body Is within
two Inches of the blade , Is a strait
upon the nerves of the auiilonco if no
of the young lady. But of course she
was rescued Just In time to cave her
life , and lived happily over after.

pluyi'd a Tolt automatle plnlol that
would tire xoven iiholM In rapid HIICCON-
Hlnn by merely holding back the trig

night wanted that gun and was not
wllllliK or had not the monny lo pay
for It. U WIIH a hnndsomn and dan-
gnrous looking weapon of offeiiHO or
dnfonsn , and thorn have bnnn many
who would llkn to own It , but thin fel
low WIIH evidently dotormlnod.
Hctwooit him and bin doslrn In the
gun line was a $75 plain glass win
dow and thn ely way that appealed
to him to got ( ho gun without acquir
ing II honestly was to ruin that HIW-
only-live dolliirH' worth of oryiilal and
takn It If ho WIIH lucky nnough not to
attract attention , and bo did It. PickIng -
Ing up a melt about thn Hlr.e of a good
big mun'H list , ho hurled It through
Iho lownr part of the glasH , making a
hole nboul four Inches across and am
ply largo for the Detraction of thn pistol
tel Had the hold boon largnr thn Ihlof
would probably have taken morn , hut

The building belongs to the Odd
Follows and that orilor will probably
bo compelled to expend $75 or $80 for
the accommodation of the worthlnsH
thief whose attention WIIH attracted by
a $17 pistol. These pistols are not HO
common , but what the possession of
onn by an ordinary person will attract
attention and It IH hoped by the olll-
cofH thai It will bo the means for the
approhoiiHlon of the man who did the
