Celebration ACCIDENT
TWO LADIES INJURED BY GUN.
SHOT ON EGAN AVENUE.

Miss ~Schraeder, graduate nurse, of
Howard, Mrs. Julius Johnson and
Miss Edna Sullivan were accident
ally shot during the celebration of
this morning. The unfortunate
circumstances took place at the
corner of the Security State bank
at about $40 o'clock. Firearms
were more or less in evidence from
A o'clock on. Spirits ran high, and
it is probable that the careless use
of guns caused the accident which
proved serious, at least to one of the
injured ladies.
Mrs. Johnson received gunshot
wounds in the back, also in the back
of the neck. Miss Schraeder was
shot in the side of the face. All
were rushed to DR.. Daniels office
Immediately after this regrettable.
incident. 1t is barely possible that
Miss Schraeder will lose the sight OF
one eye. This should be a warning
to those who go on with the celebra-
ton during the day and night. The
use of firearms should be permitted
only outside of large crowds for jost-
ling and closely crowding might re.
suit in far more consequences.

DAMAGE TO BELGIUM
IS NEAR 3 BILLIONS
Some Big Items That Figure in
Bill Which Germany Must
Pay.

Some of the items which figure on
Germany's bill In Belgium are given as
follows from an official Belgian source :
Local contributions and fines levied
by Germany on Belgium in 1914, $4O,-
100000.
War contributions from November,
1914, to October, 1916, 1892, OOO,0 200.
War contributions, seven months to
May, 1917, $70,OOO,OOO.
War contributions from May, 1917,
to May, 1918, $114,OOO,OO0.
War contributions from June to Oc-
tober Of the current year, $45,OO0,OO0
Raw materials and machinery taken
by the Germans were reckoned by
them In January, 1916, at $500, 0O0, 600.
The damage to December, 1914, esti'
mated by the North German Gazette,
amounted to $SO0.OOO,OOO. This makes
a grand total of ST, 1921 100000.
These items do not include material
destruction and acquisitions since Jan
uary, 1915, which alone must be reck'
oned at several hundred million dol
lars.
During the winter of 1916 Belgian
workmen to the number of 1,750,00(
were deported to Germany. The flu
ture production of these men was thu.
totally lost to their country.

MADISON JUBILANT
BAND MUSIC, WHISTLES, BELLS
AND PARADES.

The message signed by Secretary
Lansing and given out to the country
by President Wilson to the effect
that the armistice had been signed,
causing immediate cessation of all
hostilities in the European conflict,
was the occasion for a great jubilant
demonstration. Dan Coutts and Glen
Willard fired the first shots in Mad
ison announcing the event at $3.50
this morning in front of The Daily
Leader office. No sooner had word
been given out after the reception of
this important news than a demon
stration of some magnitude was put
on. Even before breakfast time the
populace arose and dressed them
selves amidst the firing of the guns
and the shrill blasts of every whistle
in the city.
Dawn broke with a smile and ma
ture herself seemed to rejoice with
those who came forth to augment the
crowds gathering along Egan avenue.
Joy took possession of all hearts and
many were the EXPLANATIONS of graf
itude that welled from the bosoms of
fathers and mothers who have sons
overseas engaged in placing democ-
racy, justice and liberty upon a safer
foundation.
Small boys in platoons, girls in
various groups, grown-ups of varying
ages seized every available noise
making device and started a merry
and noisy parade. All this was un-
organized effort, but at 10 O'Clock
the business men of the city held a
session in the Commercial club rooms
to quickly arrange a celebration in a
systematic manner.
Telephone messages were sent to
the rural districts adjoining Madi-
son extending an urgent invitation
for all to come in and participate in
a demonstration given in honor of
the victory of Allied arms.
Before the forenoon was far adj
vanced a great bonfire blazed furi-
ously at the corner of the Library
park and an effigy of William Hohen-
zollern, the egotist, the criminal, the
defeated, and Inundated, was drag
ged through the streets, being salut-
ed by jeers that were befitting to the
real Williams villianous character.
All public places and business
houses closed in order to give reign
TO pent up emotion.
Thanks are expressed on all sides
that the war is over and that our
brave sons not only had part in the
greatest of earth's dramas, but that
many of them will be sure to return
so the avocations of peace and in
dustry.

MRS. FRANK PITzER
DIED YESTERDAY OF INFLUENZA
AFTER A SHORT ILLNESS.

Mrs. Frank Pitzer passed away at
the family residence at 3 p. m. yes
terday, death being due to the raw
ages of influenza and pneumonia.
Mrs. Pitzer was stricken with illness
one week ago last Friday night, but
in her struggle to remain with those
who were dear to her ii seems that
all the physicians and friends could
do towards prolonging life were un-
awaiting. Either tomorrow or the
succeeding day the remains will be
placed on the train for shipment to
Council Bluffs, Ia, to be laid beside
her father and mother who have pre-
coded her. The husband and nine
children are left to sorrow over a loss
that is hard to bear. Nearly all OF
the children r located i'm Madison
and vicinity.

YOUNG WAR VETERAN
Lad Only Fifteen Years Old InvaIided
Back Home.

Wounded and invalided back to
America before he was sixteen years
old is the record of John Walker Bur-
ley, a son of Mr.. and Mrs. G. b. Burley

June, 1917, one month before he was
fifteen years old, young Burley went
In September of that year to Camp

FINDING NO BOChES,
YANkS CHASE RABBIT
Forget All About the War When
Bunny Jumps Up Under
Their Feet.

French and American batteries
pounded the German lines for five
hours preceding the attack against the
st. Mihiel salient from the west.
When the doughboys went over the
top in Les Eparges sector there was
not an answering shot from the Ger.
a trenches opposite. The gunfire
had so shattered the nerves of those
who survived the bombardment they
could not emerge from their deep dug
outs.
Two American soldiers dashed
cross "No Mans land" in the lead,
raced through to the enemy's barbed
wire entanglements. riven and pulver-
lied by the artillery, and leaped over
the parapet into the German trench.
Just then two white rabbits ducked
out from a + and ran round the
corner of the traverse. 1t was all so
quiet, with nary a live German In
sight, not the suspicion of a machine
gun nor an answering shot from the
German batteries in the rear that the
Yanks forgot all about war, the attack,
the Boches and everything else. They
just did what any average fellows
would do, started chasing the rabbits.
They beat 1t down the first line
trench, stumbling over the debris
where the American shells had caved
in the parapet every few yards and
finally rounded up the pair of rabbits,
nice and fat and tender.
When their platoon commander
burst into the trench, having been de.
layed a little by a patch of barbed
wire still standing, he found the two
men arguing as to whether they should
eat the rabbits or keep them as pets.

yourself by early Xmas shopping. Come and let us show

HOW NAMES BECOME CHANGED
Sometimes Intentionally, but More
often Due to the "Wear and
Tear of Time"

"Who Was Who?n is the suggested
title for new book to contain the
names of all persons who have
changed their names. A new publica-
ton will do that in England. II the
work Is carried back far enough it win
be found that scarcely a name has
survived the wear and tear of time.
Some of the changes are intentional,
like our daily applications In court, but
most of them are due to bad spoilers
or poor pronunciation and phonetic
spelling to express the errors Of pro-
nunciation. Our Dutch ancestors had
a habit of cutting Off everything that
went down to and including the "Van."
The name "Burch" was originally
Birch and meant man who lived by
the birch tree. II Is curious com
ment on this new book that the Lon
don newspaper editor who Is putting 1t
out has juggled his own name after
the English custom, when taking a
title. Good names are misfortune
when they are used like family por-
traits to make snobs.-E Exchange.

PHTHISIS AS DEADLY AS WAR

The war has served effectually to
disclose that during the four years of
hostilities mortality from tuberculosis

Of soldiers killed in battle, according
to Dr. Livingstone Farrand. AS direc-
