LANCASTER BOOSTER HAS
AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.

The car driven by W r. Duncalf,
with Iaverne ClantOn as a passenger,
struck a horse and rig owned by O. A.
Gundlach of Livingston on the last
day of the booster trip while the
boys were ON their way home. The
accident was due to brush and rocks
obstructing the view at "a sharp turn
in the road about two miles west of
Livingston.
Mr.. Duncalf saw some COWS turn
ing the corner, but had no intimation
that there ware two men and a rig
on the other side of the turn.
The horse received a broken leg,
rendering shooting necessary. The
rig was also badly smashed up and
some damage done to the car.
Mr.. Duncaf stopped at once and
went for veterinary at Livingston.
When he found that nothing could be
done he offered to make reparatiOn
to Mr.. Gundlach and the matter will
be amicably settled.

DESPONDENT GIRL
COMMITS SUICIDE
MABEL WHITISH OF NEAR PRES
TON SHOOTS SELF AS RESULT
OF DISAPPOINTMENT.

Mabel Whitish, daughter of Samuel
Whitish, a farmer living one and one
half miles northwest of Preston, ended
her life with her own hands on Mon
day morning of this week.
Miss Whitish, it is said, was keeping
company with young man to whom
her parents objected She was in the
village of Preston on Sunday after
noon and seemed in good spirits. On
Sunday evening she left home going to
the home of a neighbor where she re-
manned all night.
Her parents called and took her
home about II o'clock in the morning.
After their return the young girl
went upstairs still seemingly in good
spirits. A few minutes later Mrs.
Whitish heard report and upon rush
ing upstairs found the girl lying un-
conscious with a discharged 22 rifle
at her side. She lived only ten min
utes, the expression, 'oh, dear" be-
ing the only words uttered.
The bullet entered the body above
the heart and it is supposed that the
rifle being of small size was held
with the barrel against the body and
discharged by means of the thumb.
Mabel Whitish was between 16 and
II years of age and of bright and
cheerful nature,
She was a graduate of the loca
grade schools and had planned for {
high school education. Surviving hel
are her parents and three sisters anC
five brothers.

EVENING STORY
Amazing Grace at Midnight.
(By Elsie See.)

Grace Trigg was the only girl at the
Luncheon club who protested indiffer
ence for the Halloween frolic proposed
by Mabel Craig.
"Oh, Grace, what has got into you?
You used to be more fun than any
body!'' Ada Green became impatient
when all their pleadings for Grace's
support proved in vain.
I'm sorry if it peeveS anybody, said
Grace, but I seem to have lost en-
thusiasm for spook feasts and fortune
telling. It's so childish
"Oh, hear the mighty highbrow
speak," said Ada Green, IN pretended
awe of Grace.
After the other girls left Mabel and
Ada discussed Grace's Indifference
and concluded that it was born of her
bitterness caused by a recent quarrel
with Stanley Price, to whom Grace
had been almost engaged since their
childhood when they had scaled the
board fence separating their back
yards and had made mud pies and
played bean bag together. Neither of
the girls had even faint suspicion
that Grace's seeming indifference was
merely a ruse to throw them off their
guard SO that she might carry out her
plan to surprise them in the midst of
their Halloween frolic.
AS for her quarrel with Stanley
Price, Grace shrugged her shapely
shoulders and said to herself that until
he admitted the reasonableness of her
determination to do one woman's
share in the restaurant inspection be-
ing planned by the pure food commit
tees of the various women's clubs, he
could go in the direction of the bow
vows. There were plenty of good
times to be had without him, and she
meant to make Halloween the occasion
of an unusually good time
For the first week after their quar-
rel Stanley Price had been highly
amused at Grace's air of naughty cold
ness as she would give him barely
recognizable greeting when they hap
pened to be on their neighboring front
porches at the same time. The Sec
ond week even these chance greetings
were lacking, as Grace was busy on the
committee work and was too much oc-
cupied to tarry on the porch. She was
born housekeeper and inspecting
those restaurant Kitchens and making
| out her reports really absorbed her
mind so much that she had little time
/ left to plan her part in the Halloween
party being arranged by the girls of
| the Luncheon club. When a whole
| week passed without Stanley getting
so much as a glimpse of Grace the
situation began to lose it's hurnor for
| him.
"Oh, bother those clubwomen for
catching Grace in their net nuttered
Stanley. as he paced his room and
puffed a cigarette on the night of Hal
loween. But even if they get her to

JOY and GLOOM
Conditions Prevailing in the

Democrats All Smiles, While
Republicans Are Glum.

Happiness and gloom was the con-
trast today in the headquarters of the
two state committees. Hubert Lard
ner. chairman of the Democrat stats
committee, smiled with the satisfac-
ton that follows a work well done. In
the office of the Republicans Charles
H. Sessions recognized defeat, after
a game fight for congressional dis
tricts and electoral votes, and told of
the influences that beat down the
Hughes vote
There is no longer uncertainty or

Where it will stop. The state turned
upside down. 1t was the biggest

men--responded nobly in Tuesdays

All the way and our victory was earned

paign in the state.''
Sessions's Statement.
oHarles IL sessions told of the in
fluences that threw Hughes out in
Kansas-maybe lost a presidentiaI
fight-after the state ticket had swept
the state and the Republicans had
made inroads in congressional terri
tory. Sessions said:
From the very beginning of the
campaign / have counseled with and
mad the daily help of the most level
headed leaders of our party We rec
ognfzed that the fight was on Hughes
ana the congressional nominee. and
our whole time and energy were used
in their behalf. In every letter and
telegram we appealed especially for

Getting out of a war of the proper
fions and ramifications of the Euro
pean struggle is evidently far mole
difficult than getting into one. There
is every reason to believe that the re-
rorts are reliable to the effect that
both sides to the great war are more
fhan tired of their bargain and are
DESTROYS of peace. But as each side
is equally determined to dictate the
peace terms, and as neither is in
sufficiently commanding military posi-
lion so to dictate. it would seem al
most that the end of the war is as
Tar away as it was after it had been
running on for six months. 1t is also
probable that the neutral nations
whose resources in foodstuffs and
other things are being Slapped to the
limit by the war are even more de-
sirous of it's end than are the belliger-
euts.
