TRIPLE DROWNING AT CLARION.
Gasoline Launch and Row Boat Cap
size and Twelve People
Thrown Into the
Water.

The most shocking accident 10 oc-
cur in the history of this community
happened last evening just at dark
at Elm lake, four miles northeast
of town, when Mrs. C. S. Bennett,
Miss Eva Porter and Miss Hazel
Huddelson were drowned by the cap
sizing of row boat and a gasoline
launch. As noted IN today's paper,
twelve young ladies had gone to the
lake for a couple Of days outing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bennett were to act as
chaperons for the party each night.
After supper it was proposed that all
go in bathing, so Mr.. Bennett secur-
ed launch and a row boat to take
the crowd to suitable bathing
place. The place selected was that
known as the point" and is on the
opposite side of the lake, almost di-
rectly east of the farm house of ].
E. Fenenger.
Two trips were made to take the
crowd to the point, but on the fatal
return trip all attempted to return
in the two boats. The row boat was
towed behind the launch. The
launch contained Mr.. and Mrs. Ben
nett, Cecil Umbreit, Mabel Young.
Hazel Huddelson, Fay Case, Fern
Butterfield and Lola Worth. In the
low boat were Margaret Mosely, Eva
Porter, Gladys Bennett and Margaret
Young. The swell from the launch
rocked the row boat and frightened
the occupants so badly that an at
tempt was made to get them into the
launch. At this Juncture both boats
capsized and all were precipitated
to the bottom of the lake, the water
being about seven feet deep at that
place
Their cries for help were heard by
Robert Humphrey, Roy Goslin, Hugh
Hartshorn and Milo Stark, who had
gone to the lake to battle and at
that time were at the shacks They
hastily secured boats and rowed to
the place of the accident, but the
distance was too great for them to
reach there in time to save those who
drowned. They succeeded i'm as
sisting the surviving members of the |
party to shore. -Clarion Monitor.

At RidgeWaY Again.

Nick Schuetz moved his household
goods to Ridgeway, Thursday; Mrs
SchuetZ and daughters went Satur-
day. Mr.. Schuetz has again been
called to take charge of the elevator
at Ridgeway; he has been with the
company for several years, the des-
truction of the crops in this vicinity
threw him out of a job, but as soon
as the business opened up this ex-
cellent young man was asked to take
charge of it again. They are excel
lent people and while we are sorry
to have them leave here, we are glad
that this mark of appreciation has
been given this fine young man.

4 Narrow Escape.

Herbert Smith of Frankville, was
on Monday struck by the engine
of No. 4, the east bound passenger
due here at 1898, but fortunately
escaped with only deep cash in his
head and several bruises. Although
he saw the train coming he thought
he stood far enough away but it prov
ed differently with the result that he
was struck on the shoulder For a
moment it locked as though he would
b. thrown under the wheels, but
luckily he was thrown on the plat
form. Rather a close call.-Ossian

The best remedy we know of in
all cases of Kidney and Bladder trou-
BILE and the one we always can rec
ommend, is DeWitt's Kidney and
Bladder Pills. They are antiseptic
and at once assist the kidneys to per-
form their important work. But
when you ask for these pills be posi-
tive that you get DeWitt's Kidney
and Bladder Pills. They are imita-
tions placed upon sale to deceive
you. Get DeWitt's. Insist upon
them. and If your dealer cannot sup
ply you-refuse anything else in

It Ought to Pass.

P. M. Jewell, State Representative
from this county, has introduced bill
which will be good thing. An act re-
quiring Incorporated cities and towns
to publish the acts and proceedings of
the board of aldermen and city and
town councils. The public usually ex-
poets and demands publicity. Many
councils have heretofore withheld pub
lication of council proceedings, on the
ground that there is no law making any
provision for paying for such publica-
tion. The bill if passed makes the
publication mandatory in two or more
papers published in the town, if only
one paper in town, then in enc news
paper, and if there is no paper in the
town, then by posting in two or more
public places. Calmar Courier.
