WOMAN DRIVER
MAKES MISTAKE
Puts Foot on Accelerator In
stead of Brake and Kills
Horse at Biglerville
Blgferrtlle, Pa., Jon* >6.—ln a
collision between an automobile and
& horse and buggy, the horse was
killed and the occupants of the
buggy Injured, while none of the
occupants of the automobile was
harmed in any way. The automo
bile was driven by Miss Myrna
Sheely, of Arendtsvllle, who, with
her father, Emory Sheely. and Mrs.
Edward Raffensperger, of Arendts
vllle. and Mra L. Minnigh, of
Gettysburg, had driven from Ar
endtsville and just turned the cor
ner here on the street to take them
to Gettysburg when, in attempting
to pass another automobile, she just
grazed the machine. When this
happened Miss Sheely reached for
the brakes with her foot to bring
the machine to a stop, but instead
put her foot on the accelerator and
increased the speed of the car. Ac
cording to the statement of John
Powell, who was driving the horse,
he was on the right side of the
road, and when the speed of the
car was increased the automobile
plowed right Into his team and
dragged it about a hundred feet be
fore being stopped. The horse was
killed outright, and it is thought
Mrs. Powell's right leg is broken.
Mr. Powell is also slightly injured.
"I COULD NOT BE STILL AFTER
A BLESSED RELIEF" SHE SAID
"With such blessed results, my
conscience would not let me refuse
to endorse such a worthy medicine
as Natonex. I have nothing but
gTatitude and praise for Natonex
which, in my mind, is a wonderful
medicine. I have reason to be
grateful because it gave me the
only relief I got after spending
thousands of dollars."
This was the splendid statement
of Mrs. Margaret Altemose. of
Noxen, Pa., who has told of her
severe case and its relief so that
others can profit by her experience.
"I doctored and doctored, and

WEDNESDAY EVENING,

It Is Said
Moxloo City, June to.—Numerous
rumors are afloat that Manuel
Mondragon, called the Intellectual
leader of the coup that resulted In
the overthrow and death of Presi
dent FYanoieco I. Madero on Feb
ruary 22, ISIS, has returned to
Mexico.

proceeding from the United States

El Paso and Journeyed south with
the object of conferring with the
former federal General Felipe

and now I am so glad, for the pain
that was said to be gall stones has
disappeared.
"It seems like a dream to be able
to eat and enjoy my meals once
more and never have a pain or
nauseated feeling like I used to
have. Neither noise nor anything
else bothers me now and I sleep,
as the old saying goes, 'the sleep

"I think it is simply marvellous
the way Natonex has relieved me

"My advice to other sufferers is
'Don't' throw your money away as
I did at first, but try Natonex.' With

ASK TROLLEY
ON HERR STREET
Public Service Commission
Requested to Extend its Line
on That Thoroughfare
The Public Service Commission
has received the following letter
from owners of property on Herr
street especially the section which
will be developed In the expansion
of the city.
On August 17, 1917, your Honor
able Board recommended that the
Harrisburg Railways Company build
a new line on Herr street under
the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks,
to the Hill with proper connections,
cross overs and otherwise, to afford
ample facilities for the present pop
ulation in that section, and for its
prospective development. It is cer
tain that war conditions prevented
the accomplishment of your recom
mendations, and this company was
Justified in not doing this work, but
these conditions have certainly
changed, and now the strongest
pressure has been, and is now being
brought by the United States and
State authorities, and by all Cham
bers of Commerce, and other pro
gressive bodies of all cities, to have
public and private work done to the
limit. Plans are now under way in
this city by the Chamber of Com
merce, and others to promote build
ing of homes, which are much need
ed, and yet the one great help, and
that which would be of greatest
use in this direction, so far, has
been denied this city. There are
one hundred acres of vacant land
within a few squares of the physi
cal center and also of the center of
population, the greater part of it
has all other facilities, including
sewers, electric lights, water and
gas. and yet for the want of etreet
cars, this plot is now available for
houses. Two years ago good and
sufficient reasons were given your
honorable body for this street car
line extension. To-day these reasons
are all greatly intensified and added
to.
The State Arsenal with its many
employes is without proper street
car facilities. It is proposed in this
neighborhood to construct the arm
ory and buildings necessary to ac
i commodate the troop of State police
\ to be stationed in or near this city.
In closing it can .be said that with
proper street car lines, this section
of the city, almost within its cen
ter. will rapidly build up with
1 houses so badly needed.
The construction of the proposed
memorial bridge at State street will
stop the operation of cars for some
time, and a great portion of the pop
ulation on the Hill will have to
walk to or use automobiles.
Several years ago a petition signed
by more than four thousand people,
mostly living on the Hill, and all
interested, asking the Harrisburg
Railways Company to do just about
what is contained im this communi
cation. was presented to the Rail
ways company, and is still In their
possession. _

Tax Receiver Bill
Simply Slaughtered
The Senate bill providing for
county receivers of State and county
taxes in counties containing between
135,000 and 200.000 population got
the worst defeat of the session. Only
fifteen members voted for it and 135
against it. Mr. Cook, York, attack
ed it as a vicious measure when
Mr. Millar, Dauphin, called it from
the postponed calendar and out
lined objections to it on the ground
of expense. Mr. Lanius, York, sup
ported him, saying the York dele
gation was united on at least one
measure. No one spoke for the bill.
The House passed the amend
ments to the escheat law by 185 to
1 and cleared the calendar of ap
propriation bills. A quarter of a
million dollars was added to the
memorial budget appropriation,
making it $750,000. The bill for
bidding sale of foods, drugs and
preparations containing wood alco
hol was the last House bill to be
passed as immediately after all
House bills were dropped as there
is no hope of passing them.
The House refused to concur in
the Senate amendments to the teach
ers' salary bill.
The House refused to drop from
the calendar, the Geological survey
supplement which was moved by
Mr. Benchoff, Franklin, chfcirman of
the committee in charge. During
action on Senate business members
indulged in horse play. Mr. Fowler
went into the gallery and "bombed"
the members with paper balls and
was driven out on a counter attack
by Mr. Golder. who was a naval
aviator during the war. This ended
the afternoon session.

THREE BIG CAUSES
FOR U. S. DEATHS
Heart Disease, Pneumonia and
Tuberculosis the Fac
tors, Report Shows
Washington, June 25.—The Cen
sus Bureau's annual compilation of
mortality statistics for the death
registration area In the United
States shows 1,062,822 deaths as
having occurred in that area In
1817, representing a rate of 14.2 per
1,000 of population. Of these deaths,
nearly one-third were due to three
causes—heart disease, pneumonia
and tuberculosis—and nearly an
other third resulted from the fol
lowing nine causes: Bright's disease
and nephritis, apoplexy, cancer,
diarrhea and enteritis, arterial dis
eases, Influenza, diabetes, diphtheria
and bronchitis. The death-registra
tion area of the United States lu
1917 comprised twenty-seven States,
the District of Columbia and forty
three cities In nonregistration
States, with a total estimated popu- 3
lation of 75,000,000, or about
enty-three per cent, of the esti
mated population of the United
States.
The deaths from heart diseases
numbered 115.337, or 152.2 per
100.000 population.
Pneumonia was responsible for
112,821 deaths, or 149.8 per 100,-
000. This rate, although much low
er than that for 1900 (180.5) or for
several succeeding years, is higher
than that for any year during the
period 1908-1916.
Tuberculosis in its various forms
caused 110,285 deaths, of which
97,047 were due to tuberculosis of
the lungs.
Reparations Delay
Completion of the
Treaty With Austria
By Associated Press.
Paris. June 25.—The question of
reparations is still delaying comple
tion of the Austrian treaty owing
to the difficulty of aligning the small
eastern states on any general
scheme for a division of the finan
cial obligations and the claims re
sulting from the break-up of the
Hapsburg monarchy, with conse
quent elimination of Its responsibil
ity for reparations.
American experts have conducted
negotiations with representatives of
the states inheriting parts of the
Hapsburg domains, including Po
land, Czecho-Slovakia, Jugo-Slavia
and Rumania, for several weeks, but
the results have been unsatisfac
tory to the Council of Four, and
French experts are now trying their
hands.
The problem Is decidedly compli
cated, because, on the one hand.
It is planned to charge these states
with a share of the Austro-Hun-
garlan financial responsibilities pro
portionate to the area and re
sources of the Hapeburg territories
The Adirondacks
There's magic in the word "Adirondacks." It's the spirit of our pioneer
ancestors calling us back to Nature. It's the urge of the trails through the
woods, by the lakes, over the hills. It's the dip of the paddle, the song of the
reel, the scent of the pine. It's forgetfulness of work and worry; it's sport and
fun. It's freedom.
Of course, you're going to take a vacation this summer! Go to the Adiron
