A NARROW ESCAPE T An accident which might have resulted in the death of one of the parties occurred last evening about 5:30, when Wayne Dickson. who was driving an automobile down Sixth street, turned at the corner of Vine street and started towards the postollice, turning out to the right to avoid some boys who were riding bicycles on the street, and as he turned one of the boys, Ellery Groman, turned the same way, with the result that the car struck the bicycle, throw ing the young man to the pave ment with great force. The car was going at a low speed and was brought to a standstill at once nnd the occupants picked young Human up. He was considerably dazed by the fall, but fortunately was not seriously hurt, and after a few minutes' rest was conveyed lo his home. There can be no blame laid on the occupants of the machine, as they made every effort to avoid the boys and were running at less than the legal speed limit. Those riding bicycles on the streets should keep their eyes open, as it is a great deal easier for them to get out of the way than it would be for an auto mobile.

T" Play to a Crowded House and the Greatest Success of the Theater Season. One of the most pleasing musical comedies that has been shown in this city was that of The Prince of Tonight," which appeared at tho Parmele theater Saturday evening. The show pos sesses some very beautiful scenic effects and the story of the play is most interesting and keeps the attention of the audience from the start to the final curtain. "The Prince of Tonight" is one of the best musical comedies produced in recent years and possesses some very bewitching musical numbers and was in the hands of a very fine company here. Tom Arnold, who is appearing this season as the prince of the mythi cal country of Lunitania, was de lightful in his acting nnd posses ses a fine voice, which was heard in several numbers, being especi ally effect in "Her Eyes Are Blue for Good Old Ynle" and "Tonight Will Never Come Again." Mr. Arnold is fortunate in being sup ported by such a splendid actress as Miss Eva Carey, who acted the role of Miss Virginia Stuart, and was nil that one could ask in this pari, and the love scenes between her and the prince were verv strong. In the character of laniel Stuart, the mineral water magnate, Frank Harsh was a laugh from start to finish and is undoubtedly one of the cleerest comedians appearing on the American stage today. The com pany was good in every way and every member was up and going from start lo finish and the chorus has some mighty fine sing ers in its ranks, especially the male section, which is one of the best that the playgoers of this city have had tho pleasure of hearing for a long time. Tho Parmelo was filled lo its capacity for the performance and attested the appreciation, of the people of the delightful show of fered, and it is hoped that the management can secure more such attractions in the future, ns the crowd Saturday night demon strated Ihe interest the public takes in a good, up-to-date at traction, and such shows will un doubtedly receive tho continued patronage of the public.

A THRESHING MACHINE GOES THROUGH BRIDGE William Ash and Walter Lovell Have Narrow Escape From Instant Death. From Saturday's Daily. William Ash and Walter Lovell came very near having a fatal ac cident last Thursday afternoon while moving Mr. Ash's threshing outfit from ono job to another. The engine on which they were both riding crashed through a bridge over a l i-foot ravine, just west of Frank Jameson's farm, north of town. When the bridge commenced to crack, Lovell shut off the engine and jumped. Mr. Ash, in attempting to jump, was pitched head first down against the fire box and went to tho- bot tom of the ravine with the engine. As it turned out it was lucky, for in that way he was protected from the crash, which demolished the tool and coal boxes on the rear of the engine. It was also lucky for him that the tongue to the separa tor broke so that it did not fol low the engine into the ditch, for it would have certainly crushed him. As it was he got out of the mixup with only the dislocation of a bone in his foot. This was caused by his foot becoming fast and getting slightly wrenched. Billy says that when he landed at the bottom of the ditch, after what seemed hours from the time the first crash came, and found his foot fast, his first thought was of being scalded to death. When he had released himself his next concern was about his companion, Lovell, for he thought he must be under the engine somewhere. When ho found Lovell safe and saw how fortunate things had come out he was simply so weak from the full realization of what the danger was that he couldn't do a thing for a while. The damage to the threshing outfit was very slight and the en gine was quite easily removed from the ditch by the aid of an other engine that Mr. Ash owns, and the assitance of R. D. Mc Nurlin and his moving apparatus. SENATOR BANNING GOMES PRETTY NEAR LOSING HIS GAR From Saturday's Dally. Senator AV. B. Banning had a very cosily experience in the vil lage of Alvo Tuesday night. The senator drove into town with hi fine touring car, about 6 o'clock, and at once placed it in the livery barn for the night, and the next morning when he called for it he found that someone had taken it out of the barn during the night and no sign of tho machine could be found. The senator at once called up the neighboring towns to see if a car answering the de scription of his had been seen, but to no success. Later in tho morning a farmer drove in and reported a car broken down about three-quarters of a mile out of Alvo, and on arriving at the scene it was found to be Mr. Ban ning's machine. The car had been run about ten miles and was in a badly damaged condition, several of the gears on tho ma chino being broken and otherwise showing some very hard usage. It seems strange how a machine could bo stolen out of a place where parlies were sleeping start ed up and got away with without causing some alarm. The parties were evidently not satisfied with taking tho car, but proceeded to damage it to such an extent that it will cost $30 or $10 to place it in condition to be used, and if it is possible the miscreants should be brought to time for the out rage. Here is a woman who speaks from personal knowledgo and long experience, viz., Mrs. P. H. Brogan, of AA'ilson, Pa., who says: "I know from experience that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy it far superior to any other. For croup there is nothing that excels it." For sale by F. G. Fricke & Co.
