by htions are the Vogue,
ap- _
^er i> was it said “Forewarned
[rearmed”? Well, never
me tI someone has said it, and
conscience is clear in the
ilhf ftion, for it reminds us to
, ’ lest to our readers who con
’’ ° date visiting the World’s
ar(j‘a little timely preparation
not be amiss before enter
her iane amusement called
61 Pike. It is not our desire to
j,pire fear, but anything that
e|1s ever been done before is not
Jne on the Pike; anything that
Is never been done before is
Kping done on the Pike.
Looking in the direction
pointed to by the Pike orator,
‘ince known as “Midway Spie
ler,” a building representing ex
ternally the sombre gates of
Hades is seen, and should you
pass through the great stone
arcned corridor a remarkable
metamorphosis of your mind and
body will occur. Powerless to
do any other than obey this aw
ful command, you follow into a
subterranean elevator and rap
idly descend to the realms of
darkness, the First Circle of the
Nine in Hell, through all of
which you must pass before
again seeing the light of earthly
dav.
Crossing the River of Woe, in
Charon’s boat, to the Second
Circle, visiting the Court of
Minos, the Infernal Judge, who
dispenses justice to the endless
line of wicked spirits. Further
in your progress, partaking of
the beautiful visions of the un
happy Faust under Mephisto’s
influence, witnessing the contin
ual grind of torture mills in the
Frozen Third Circle; crossing
Stygian Lake into the City of
Dis, or Eternal Fire; viewing all
about you various punishments
of abandoned souls; ever and
anon startled by the inexplaina
ble appearance and disappear
ance of some frightened spirit in
your midst, and finally arriving
at the very center of hades, the
throne room and awful presence
of his Satanic Majesty. Ming
ling with his courtiers, skeletons
and subordinate devils, a chilly
sensation creeps over you.
Simultaneously the bewildered
senses are aware of a changing
atmosphere; and an instant later
a mi.r e'ous t •ansformation is
fully realized. The parched and
barren rocks and caverns of In
ferno have vanished. The beau
tiful Grove of Daphne surrounds
you, and Daphne herself beckons
you onward and upward through
the gates of Paradise. Gorgeous
spectacular illusion effects tell
the history of the “Three Wise
Men of the Desert,” the dimly
discerned and far-distant “Star
of Bethlehem” ever increasing
in brilliancy, and the final culmi
nation, the “Bursting of Celes
tial Dawn,” intensified by the
soft strains of sacred songs and
a vision of etherial bodies in
graceful evolutions, make up a
production of transcendent glo
ries and send you back to earth
to again take up its ways with
ever pleasant, though conflicting,
memories of your experience
“Hereafter.”
MOUNTAIN TRAINS
OVER COTTON BELT.
* _
Reported that Change will Occur
in Few Days to Handle Im
mense Fair Traffic.
Pine Bluff, July 18. — A relia
ble rumor is current that the
present month will bring several
important changes in the sched
ule of trains over the Iron Moun
tain and Cotton Belt in the
World’s Fair service to St. Louis
from Texarkana.
It is stated that another fast
train will be put on over the
Cotton Belt from Texarkana to
St. Louis and that two of the
Iron Mountain trains will be run
into St. Louis over the Cotton
Belt from Texarkana.
The Iron Mountain now has so
many trains over its lines that
they follow each other nearly
every hour, while the Cotton
Belt traffic to St. Louis is more
than the present service will
handle. _

Danville, July 18.—Ben Clarke
and Hayes Bumgarner had a dif
ficulty last night, in which Bum
garner received two bad knife
cuts, one in the back /and the

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
The sale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the founda"
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to themerest fraction
of a second. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (man/ king no pre
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reached the goal, (
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the cultivated human voice. An
imperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing eorrectly-’it's worse because all do not
claim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of °ther of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, quality considered
The Kimball Bystem and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all.
