ASHLAND,............WEDNESDAY, JUNE
17, 1896
EDITORIAL.
A few days ago, it was thought that
the creamery project would fall through
with no definite realization, but now’,
that all but two or three of the remain­
ing seven shares have been taken,
the outlook is bright indeed—“the
creamery is a go!” Under no condi­
tions can Ashland afford to let this op­
portunity to secure a creamery slip by.
There is money in such an industry.
In accordance with the prevailing na­
ture of the party, the populists are
“kicking” over the alleged unfairness of
“ Vanderburg’s being ‘counted’ out.”
Their candidate was certainly not un­
fairly treated in being “counted out,”
as they term it, for he never had a suf­
ficient number of votes to be respectably
“in it.” But that’s the wray with the
the pops.
Last Monday, the A dvertiser put in
a new’ 24-inch paper cutter, thus giving
us facilities for handling a larger job
printing trade. Give us your orders in
this line. We guarantee you better sat­
isfaction than you can obtain elsewhere.
M arvelous M easurement .—At the
recent “conversazione” of the Royal So­
ciety in London, a pendulum instrument
was exhibited, intended to record the
slightest tilts and pulsations of the crust
of the earth. It was asserted that this
instrument would render observable a
tilt of less than one three-hundredth of
of a second of arc. In other words, if a
plane surface were tipped up only so lit­
tle that the rise would amount tn a sin­
gle inch in a thousand miles, the instru­
ment would reveal the tilting.—Youth’s

The most remarkable exhibition of
human ability ever made in Ashland
was witnessed in Ganiard’s opera house
last evening by a fair sized audience.
Prof. Alex. J. Mclvor Tyndall gave his
entertainment of mind-reading. The
voice of the audience is that the perform­
ance was “wonderful.” In demonstra­
tion of his pow’ers, the Professor found
pins, ribbons, cards, etc., that had been
hidden, he being blindfolded. That he

To-night (Wednesday) he gives
another exhibition of the same nature,
along different lines—hypnotism, the
dead and alive test, the thrilling murder
scene, etc. To miss this performance is
to miss a great opportunity.
Yesterday he gave a street blind-fold­
drive exhibition, and gives another free
test this afternoon.
