When Eben Stickne:' Of Brewer,
lolst Engineers. 2sth Division, was
training at Camp Devens two Years
ago, says the Bangor News. a pretty
girl IN the watching throng rushed
up to him and. suspending a hand
some little gold watch about his neck
by long golden chain, asked him to
wear 1t through the war and remem-
Der the Civer. The young soldier
was greatly but gladly surprised. and
readily promised in the event of his
survival. to tell the giver of the watch
all about his experiences when he
got home. He had his own initials
engraved upon the case. and wore the
watch just as his fair admirer had
placed it. regarding it as a charm
and shield against danger. The 9TH
er day Sticknev came home Invested
himself of his war toys in an Ex-
change street clothing store, got a
new civilian rig and told the story Of
the watch. remarking that he would
find the giver if it took him all sum-
mer. He has forgotten her name, but
thinks she lives in Pennington. All
through the war he never got a
scratch. and he attributes his luck %
the golden charm.

AGED WOMAN SUFFERING
FROM PT0MAINE POISONING
Mrs. Mary Gallenstein, Aged Citizen Of
the Washington NeighborhOod, in
Critical Condition From
Poisoning.

Mrs. Mary Gallenstein, aged resident
of the Washington nelghborhood and
mother of Mr.. Mike Gallenstein, well
known West Third street grocer, is in
a very critical condition at her home
in the county suffering from ptomaine
poison and because of her advanced
age it is hardly thought that she will
recover.
Mrs Gallenstein was taken i'll on
Thursday of last week. She returned
to her home from the home of son
where she had been spending the day
and after unhitching her horse from
the buggy went to the house. She be-
came quite drowsy and soon became
very i'll. A trained nurse from Gin
cinnati is taking care of Mrs. Gallen-
stein and physicians are doing all
within their power to restore her to
health. A report from her bedside
this afternoon was to the effect that
she showed no improvement but that
physicians thought that she was hold
ing her own.
While a direct cause for the poison
ing cannot be assigned, it is thought
that a rabbit which Mrs. Gallensteine
ate few days ago might have caused
the poisoning.

FAILURE OF FITTINGS TO

The new electric water pump leased
from Kenova, W. Va, which arrived
here Saturday and which will be used
as an emergency pump to relieve the
present water situation in Maysville,
will likely be working sometime to-
morrow.
The failure of certain needed fittings
to arrive yesterday or today from a
Cincinnati concern has delayed the
pumps operation but fortunately the
old pumps have been kept going and
the city has not been out of water to-
day although for a time Saturday
night and Sunday morning there was
no water in the mains.

Germ promised the Maysville Water.

CLIMAX IN THE
treaty FIGHT HAS
Been REACHED
If Peace Treaty Is Defeated ResOlu-
tlon Declaring War Ended VIII
Be Offered.

Washington, November II. The
most critical week in the peace treaty
fight was opened today.
The fate of the resolution of ratifca-
ton, now being drafted by the Senate,
was expected to be settled at a confer
ence between President Wilson and
Senator Gilbert NJ Hitchcock, admin
istration leader, today.
Unless Wilson reverses his previous
stand, he will decree defeat for the
resolution, as it contains reservations
which, the president holds, nullify Ar
ticle 10 of the League of Nations cove
nant.
Hitchcock then plans to come for
ward with resolution of straight,
unqualified ratification, which the op-
position presumably will beat. A COM
promise will follow, Hitchcock be-
lieved.
But Senator Henry c. Lodge and
other opposition leaders are prepar-
ing to resist any endeavor to intro
duce a new resolution of ratification
after the one now in process of form
alton is beaten.
They assert defeat of this resolution
kills the treaty, and their plan is to
have Congress pass resolution de-
claring the war ended Immediately af-
ter defeat Of ratification. Arrange.
ments for negotiating a separate peace
with Germany may be taken up later.
The Senate was to>take up more OF
the Lodge reservations today. 1t was
expected the entire reservation pro.
gram, including proposals put forward
by senators other than Lodge, would
be disposed Of by tomorrow and that
vote on ratification would follow i'm.
mediately.

Dies Late Saturday--Fiye keia-
tiyes Are Now Ill-POisOn OF
Some Sort Is Suspected.

Deep mystery surrounds the death
late saturday of Perry Bramel and
the illness OF eve of his relatives, VINO
were at his home. The family physi-
clan and County Health officer nave
not yet solved direct cause OF the
mysterious sickness.
Several days ago Mr.. Perry Bramei'

as the food used but found no traces

were taken, and sent to Lexington fol
a careful examination to ascertain
whether or not the water was respon.
sible. While awaiting report from
the water, DR.. Rice has issued orders
