The manifesto OF Toledo Jones, In

Of the Mclean candidacy. Jones hates
the Washington millionaire, and can

to discourage his prospects for the
nomination. Jones has been led to be-
lieve that II he enters the race Mclean
Will not be a candidate, for the Jones

Sorrowful Ending of a Sum
mer Vacation.

A distressing accident occurred
near Grafton Saturday by which two
bright young women lost their lives.
Miss Agnes Warner, of this city, and
Miss Ida Brown, OF Grafton, were hdth
killed in a runaway accident.
4iss Warner was visiting Miss
Brown at Webster, which is aDQut four
miles from Grafton, and they often
drove into the latter place. On Satur-
day night they had been to Grafton
and started home about 8 O'Clock. A
storm came up while they were on the
way home and it may have been the
thunder which frightened the horse or
it may have been train or something
else, but what 1t was will never be
known.
About half way between Grafton and
Webster farmer living near the road
side heard horse running across a
little bridge. He remarked to his fam
lily that it seemed to be horse run
ming away Later he heard groans and
taking lantern he went to the road
and found Miss Warner lying uncon-
scious by the road. He continued the
search and some distance beyond
found Miss Brown, who was thrown
out last or jumped out after Miss
Warner had been thrown out. He car
ried them into his house and summon
ed physician, but both were beyond
the power OF human aid. Both young
women had evidently fallen on their
heads and neither of them ever recov-
cred consciousness. Miss Brown died
at midnight Saturday, a few hours af-
ter the accident, and Miss Warner died
soon after midnight this morning.
Miss Brown was a niece of G. w.
Brown, Of this city, and was well
known here.
Miss Warner was the daughter of
the late DR.. Warner. Her mother and
Ser Grace live here. A married sis
ter, Mrs. Harry Gates, lives at Belle
vile. and she has four brothers who
live at st. Joseph, Mo. Mr.. and Mrs.
