Miss Alma Brown Fatally In
jured by Accidental Dis
charge Of Shot Gun.
WAS ON A FAREWELL VISIT
At the Home Of an Uncle, Mr. Ar
eau, in Almena Grasped
Gun by the Muzzle

Miss Alma Brown, daughter of VIM.
Brown of this village, met with an accI
dent Sunday from which death resulted
almost utaueously.
The young lady had returned Satur-
day from Cass county, where she had
been residing, to spend few days with
her father and other relatives here be-
fore leaving for the West to make her
home with brother. Sunday morning,
Miss Brown, in company with younger
brother, went to the home of an uncle,
Mr.. Areau, who resides about two miles
north of Hipp's mill iu Almena. About
5 p. N. the members of the household
went out for a stroll leaving one son and
Miss Brown, who excused herself be-
cause of some sewing she wished to do,
at home The accident, which resulted
in the death Of Miss Brown, occurred
about o'clock. The story OF the sad
affair as told by young Mr.. Areau, is as
follows:
cousin Alma, who was sewing, occu-
pied a chair near the sitting room win
dow. Upon looking out she saw wood
pecker perched on post near the win
dow and remarked: What nice mark,
if but had a gun | told her that
father had one, and went to the kitchen,
where he kept shot gun hanging, and
returned with it. When about to hand
it to Alma she grasped it by the muzzle.
In drawing it toward her the trigger
must, in some manner have been moved
by the back OF the rocker which was be-
tween us and over which she was draw
ing the gun. One barrel was discharged
and the load struck Cousin Alma as you
have seeu."
l he load OF shot had entered the skull
practically blowing the brains out.
Miss Daisy Griffith, a neighbor lady
was first on the scene after the accident,
having been summoned by the boy. She
says Miss Brown was breathing when
she arrived, but that all pulsations had
ceased in about 20 minutes after the
shooting.
Young MIR. Areau and the deceased
we're both about Is years of age. The
BOY is almost prostrated because Of the
affair.
The funeral was held Wednesday from
the Almena church. Rev Mr. Bates Off
ciating. Interment in Almena cemetery.

Mike SCHRECK TO
FIGHT MARVIN HART
Battle Between These Two
Fellows Should Prove
Very interesting

Mike schreck after Increasing his
forfeit from $500 TO $1,000 at Sam Ber-
gers request may be matched with
Marvin Hart for a fight Of fifteen
rounds at the Bellevue Ball Park, near
Cincinnati. Schreck and Hart have
practically come to terms and Sep
dember 20 is the date set But the
referee question is not settled. Schrecl1
asking that Abe Pollock be named as
judge.
Schreck wants to fight Sam Berger
and when the latter said Mikes for
felt of $500. which he had posted, was
too small, Mike fattened it to $1,000. He
told Sam it might go as a side bet if
he desired.
But there is little chance for Berger
or any of the other heavyweights tax
ing him on, right away at any rate,
as they all appear to think Mike a tri-
fle too hard. There is said to be a
chance for Schreck to box at Terre
Haute, but d does not look bright.
Fred Cooley has refused absolutely to

HANDY MAY LEAD
STATE DEMOCRATS
sneelal 10 The EvenIng IournaI.


DOVER. Sept 19-The call for the first
meeting Of the new Democratic Stale
Central Committee. which failed to or
ganize after the recent State Convention
and left the great Democratic party Of
Delaware without head, appears to
have been sent out by Willard Salisbury.
the retiring chairman. although he issued
the call as an individual member Of the
committee. The meeting will be held in
Dover on Thursday and from present in
dications it would seem that the friends
of Levin Irving Handy. the old-fashioned
had the call and would elect
Mr. Handy to lead IL State campaign by
his characteristic village-to-vlllage cam
vassing. Handy is said to be personally
acquainted with more men in Delaware
than any other man except William a.
Gum, Republican leader and legislative
lobbyist, Of Frankford.
The Salisbury men, however, are 10th
to have him retire. Robert H. Wilson
candidate for State treasurer (second
place on the ticket and editor Of the
Delaware State News, is not favorable to
the Handy leadership, and in an editorial
this week comes out strongly against the
swapping OF horses in midstream Edi-
tor-Candidate Wilson says:
1T is, however, not a time for expert
ment, and we are opposed to trining with
an incompetent and inexperienced chair
man in order to find out if he is any
good. We want to start right in order to
end right, and lose no valuable time
about it,"
The Handy men will probably deny the
big former congressman's fnexperience. 4"

THE STRENUOUS LIFE.
Results in Stomach Troubles and
Physical Breakdown. Bowditch &
Webster and Percy w. Means Offer
Simple Remedy.

The strenuous life of modern times
forces people to rush through their
meals hastily. hurrying from the la
bic in the mad rush after the almighty
dollar.
The result is incomplete digestion.
inflammation of the walls of the
stomach. and lack of secretion of the
gastric juices. ending in chronic sto'n-
ach trouble and nervous breakdown.
How much better it would be to
cat more slowly, cure the stomach
trouble with Mi-o-na. and soon regain
pe rfcct health. The headaches. sleep
Iessness. nervous troubles. pain after
eating. specks before the eyes, back
aches, melancholy and gloomy fore
toding would be soon overcome and
perfect health and strength would be
restored.
So reliable is Mi-o-na in curing all
forms of stomach weakness and trOu-
bles that Bowditch & Webster and
Percy w. Means give a signed guar
antee that the remedy will cost MOTH
ing unless it cures. Each box of Mi
o-na sells for so cents. and is invalu-
able to anyone who suffers with in
digestion, nervousness or weak
stomach.
