AUTO STRUCK BY FAST MAIL.
Farmer Living Near OsceOla Drove
His Auto Right Into the Fast
Mail Train Monday
Morning.

Mrs. J.. G. McDaniels was instantl,
killed, her husband and sixteen yea
l0ld daughter were injured seriousl,
Monday morning about 10 O'Clock
when Mr.. McDaniels drove his autt
square into the engine of the Bur
lington's fast mail train at cross
ing two miles east of Osceola.
The McDaniels family are quit,
prominent citizens of Clarke county
residing on farm six miles north
twest of Osceola. With neighbol
/ Warren McComas, they were enroutt
in two autos to WOodburn to spent
the day with friends. Mr.. McComai
was driving ahead having with hin
his wife and youngest daughter o.
Mr.. McDaniels. When the railroad
crossing was reached they saw the
approaching mail train, which runs
At speed of more than fifty miles ar
hour, approaching, and as the view
of the crossing is obstructed by corr
and weeds the approaching train
could not be seen until the crossing
was reached They endeavored to
warn Mr.. McDaniels who was fol
lowing them, but he failed to see
their warning or else thought he
could beat the train over the cross
ing, and his auto struck the engine
about the center. The speed of the
train overturned the auto and the
occupants, Mr.. and Mrs. McDaniels
and sixteen year old daughter, Miss
'Goldie, were all thrown out. Mrs.
Mcdaniel struck on her head square
ly on one of the rails of the south
track, her skull being crushed in like
an egg shell, death being instantan-
eous. Mr.. Mcdaniel had several ribs
broken, his knee cap crushed and a
bad scalp wound. Miss McDaniels
escaped without any broken bones,
but her back was severely wrenched
and it is feared she is injured in
ternally.
The train was Immediately stopped
and backed up to the scene of the ac-
cident, the lifeless body of Mrs. Nc
Daniels and her injured husband and
daughter placed on board and they
were taken to Osceola and placed
under the care of Doctors Harken,
Dean and Sells!
Passengers at the depot at Osce-
ola who saw the train on it's arrival,
say that every mail car on the train
was scratched and marred by COM
ing in contact with the auto, the
suction of the train being. so great
that it was drawn against the entire
train.
Clarke county seems to be pecu-
liarly unfortunate in auto accidents,
there having been quite number
Of fatal accidents in that county in
the past year.

.CiiAUTAUQUA is GOOD.
Session Opsaed Monday With Splen-
did ATTRACTIONS which Pleased
All. ClosesiSuaday Evening.

The Leon Chautauqua presented
by the aJones Chautauqua System
opened Tuesday afternoon on thu
High School grounds, and if the frs
days program is fair sample of thu
program for the six days it is goint
to be q dandy good one. Mr.. Ear
G. VanDusen is the platform man
ager. and he has made very favor
able impression with his pleasing ant
cordial manners.
The Reporter goes to press jus,
after noon on Wednesday, so we car
say nothing about yesterdays pro-
gram, but we can commend mos
highly the program given on Tues.
day, the opening day. The musical
number was the American Collegian
Orchestra, composed of six young
men and no better musicians were
ever heard in Leon. They are all
artists of high ability, and their play.
ing pleased everybody. They use a
variety of musical instruments, and
the director Prof. Spect uses a violin
which is valued ct $4,000 and was
presented to him by the COnserv-
atory of Music of Pennsylvania for
meritorious work in music. The

music and responded to numerous
hearty encOres.
The afternoon lecture was by DR..
Frank e. Day, and his lecture was
a scholarly one, and one which ev-
/erybody enjoyed. He made good
with his audience, and that tells the
story. In the evening the American
Collegian Orchestra again delighted
the audience, and were followed by
Sunshine" Hawks, who appeared
here last year and came back this
year at the special request of the
local committee. Mr.. Hawks has a
peculiar style, and his talk could
hardly be called a lecture, but it was
full of sunshine, and he had his au-
sdience laughing before he had been
speaking minute and he kept them
laughing all the hour he talked, al
though for just a moment several
times he brought tears to- the eyes
of many by touch of pathos. Sun
shine Hawks is rightly named, for
he spreads sunshine everywhere he
goes. There was not person in the
audience who did not enjoy his talk.
The program for the remaining
four days of the Chautauqua is a
splendid one, the speakers are, men
of note and the musical attractions
of the best. The Chautauqua closes
ON Sunday evening, and at the after
noon session Caleb Powers, of Ken
lucky, the man who was convicted
and sentenced to be hanged for the
murder Of Governor Goebel, of Ken
lucky, and who spent number of,
Years in prison before being pardon
ed, will speak. He is one of the
greatest Chautauqua attractions of
the age, and you should not miss
hearing him.
Boost for the Chautauqua. 1t is
worthy of it. The programs rare
good ones, and the price of tickets is
mighty small when compared with
the high class attractions.

War News.

The big daily papers are full Of
news of the big European war, but
as all the news is censored by the
foreign countries, and most of the
cables to America have been cut, any
definite news is hard to obtain, and
after reading the pages of the daily
papers no one knows any more about
the war than they did before they
read them. All we can say is that
they are fighting on land and sea,
but we cannot vouchsafe an opinion
as to who is getting the best of the
