This section carried tbe Blalu club of Cincinnati, which was returning from Washington I), C.. where it had been attending the in­ auguration. The trainwas a double- header and consisted of twelve Pullman cars, a cafe ear and a bag­ gage car. M I bs Glosslnger crossed the track four times daily on her way to school In Xenia and. was familiar with the time of trains, As this was an extra she was taken una­ wares and was directly in front of the steel monster before the danger wasrealized. The train struck the buggy with­ out injuring the horse and- both bodies Of the unfortunate girls were thrown fifty feet. Both sustained fractured skulls which resulted in instant death. Neither of them Was cut or bruised ,to any exrent. The Jasper crossing is not as bad as many another crossing in 'tb e county, yet it has claimed more victims than all others combined. Owmg to down grade and speed of the trains at that point only an in­ state is required to snuff out a life. In the' past thirty years ten lives have been lost, seven within the past fifteen years. After the death of Miss Delia MoBiU and Miss •Sophia Kelso, fifteen years ago the railroad com­ pany offered to erect an overhead bridge ami pay thirty-five per cent of the cost, hut nothingwas done it was - suggested that both the Jamestown arid Jasper pikes be connected and run under the tracks. The train carrying the Blaia club to Washington was one of the finest ever sent over this division, There were 880men in the club and it is stated that the entire cost of the trip was;$5&,00G. The men all had special uniforms for the parade and. pfcjrl iooaty. GOOD-BY,TEDDY* HELLO, BILLl PAPER Ml Strieken At His Key.

The prescription not being regular Mayor Wolford ’ refused to turn over the beer. THEATRE NOTES, far) MU Otis Skinner, who comes to Fair- bank’ s Theatre, Wednesday, March 17th, always makes such deep and lasting impression among thought­ ful play goers on every appearance therp. This season he will be seen in a new play, The Honor of the Family,” The play is declared to be the strongest' and beBt vehicle that this fine artist has ever had, and it had a run of four months m New York last season. The “ Hon­ or of the Family” has for Its ground work a romance of Balzac which has been utilized in the most effec­ tive fashion for stage use. The English adaptation comesfrom that skillful master of tecnique, Paul H, Potter. The central figure allotted to;Mr, Skinner, is a Bonapartist hero who had carried Napoledn’ s orders on the Champs do Mars, The actor is ideally fitted with this part.Prominent in his support will be MisS Percy Harwell, an accom­ plished artist Who alwaj’s brings charm and force to every role she undertakes and who herself starred with conspicuous success in recent seasons. One of the most attractive pro­ ductions which has ever been pre­ sented in this country will occupy the stage of the Fairbanks Theatre, Friday, March 19th. It Is the big musical spectacle, “ The Land of Nod,” whoso record of success has not been equaled by any similar work in America. “ The Land of Nod” is a wonderfully deviced and charmingly fantastic presentation o f extravagance. The author’ s unique character creations reveal a mind at once poetic, humorous And world-wise. These are “ The Man In the Moon,’ ’ and the child “ Bonnie,” “ April {Fool," “ The Welch Rarebit” ami “ Chorus Girl” He has vitalized the “ King and Queen of Hearts” and “ The Sand­ man” of childhoods days appears in propria persons. “ The Telephone Man” stalks about ever at hand to he talked into. The dialogue of The Land of Nod” Is scintilant with bright bom mots which are quickly understood and which com­ pel outbursts o f unrestrained hearty laughter, and the musical score is prodigal In song hits of the kind which became instantly pop­ ular. “ The Land ot Nod” merits the extraordinary success which has been accorded it during its two years of bnlhantexistent*. • Girls* Intercollegiate Debate, Muskingum vs, UedarvlUe, Tuesday March 16,8 o’ clock, opera house.
