TRIPPED OVER HOT PLATE
WHICH WAS ON .THE KITCHEN FLOOR AND THE UNFORTUNATE WOMAN'S CLOTHING IMMEDIATELY CAUGHT FIRE.
Suffering . intense agony for two weeks from burns received while attempting to place a hot plat on the kitchen range at her home, Mrs. Richard Lane, aged 2" years, of l."7 North A street, died last evening about 7 o'clock. Owing to the nature of the burns, the case was considered fatal from the first and no hope was entertained for Mrs. Lane's recovery. In some manner, about two weeks ago, while Mrs. Lane was working over the kitchen stove, her dress came In contact with the fire. Almost instantly her body became enveloped in flames. She rushed frantically out into the back yard,. calling louldly for help. Her husband, hearing the cries, hastened to her aid and finally extinguished the flames, but not until her body was terribly burned. Fleah Was Cooked. The flesh on the woman's back wa3 literally cooked while her right arm
and ' practically every portion of her
body above the knees was so badly burned that death was expected any time. Mrs. Lane exhibited remarkable vitality, but last evening, from sheer exhaustion, resulting from absorption from the wounds, death came to the woman's relief. 'The deceased is survived by her husband and two small children, aged 5 and 2 years'. The case is an unusually pathetic one, as Mrs. Lane was determined to live' for her children and her gallant fight for life was bitterly contested. The funeral will take place Thursday afternoon, at 1:30 o'clock from the home. There will be further services at the Second Presbyterian church at 2 o'clock. The burial will be in Earlham cemetery. Friends may call .Wednesday afternoon from 2 to 5 and Wednesday evening from 7 to 9 o'clock.
A CHRISTMAS EVENT
(Palladium Special) vireensfork, Ind., Dec. 21. The M. G. Sunday school will give an entertainment, and Christmas program Thursday evening, and the Friends' Sunday school -will render a short program and, have a Christmas tree Friday evening.
A special meeting of the trustees of the county will prolably be held next week in order that they may become acquainted with the books required by the new accounting law, which becomes effective, so far as the trustees are concerned, January 1. The new system will cause radical changes in the methods of some of the trustees, who have been following the methods of their predecessors. However, it is very simple, complete, thorough and systematized. The trustees will have three books, one for listing appropriations, another to note deposits and a third to record expenditures. If the trustees are careful to keep their records as the transactions are made, their need be no fear on their part that any discrepancies will be found. The trustees, while not having received the books for the new accounting system, are familiar with them as sample sheets have been in their hands for several days. The special meeting will be more of a "help one another" sort, in order that all may thoroughly understand the accounting system.
Rich Men's Gifts Are Poor beside this: "I want to go on record as saying that I regard Electric Bitters as one of the greatest gifts that God has made to woman, writes Mrs. O. Rhlnevault, of Vestal Center, N. Y., "I can never forget what it has done for me." This glorious medicine gives a woman buoyant spirits, vigor of body and jubilant health. It quickly cures Nervousness, Sleeplessness, Melancholy, Headache, Backache, Fainting and Dizzy Spells; soon builds up the weak, ailing and sickly. Trv them. 50c. at A. G. Luken & Co.
A JUDGMENT GIVEN
A sarcastic yet brief "fling" was that given by Wilfred Jessup, this morning in the circuit court, directed toward George T. Kepler of Cambridge City. Mr. Kepler was plaintiff in a judgment proceedings appealed from the Clay township justice of the peace court, against Samuel Stackhouse, and others, the defendants being represented by Mr. Jessup. After listening to testimony of two witnesses, principals in the case, which testimony did not include more than fifty words each, the attorneys stated that they had finished the case. Mr. Jessup told Judge Fox that had it been any other person except George T. Kepler .appearing as plaintiff, he would have confessed judgment without a trial. Judge Fox found for the plaintiff, which was a small amount.

FELL TO THE SIDEWALK
STROKE IS NOT BELIEVED TO BE PARTICULARLY SERIOUS ONE, ALTHOUGH HE HAS BEEN BADLY AFFECTED.
While endeavoring to alight from a buggy on North Ninth street, near Main, this morning, about 9 o'clock, Ell Evans, the veteran blacksmith, was seized with a stroke of paralysis and rendered absolutely helpless, falling in a heap on the ground. The man was carried into a nearby office, where a physician was called. Evans's entire left side was paralyzed. He was unable to move a muscle on that side of his body while awaiting the arrival of the ambulance. Hyperderniic injections of strychnine were administered to the man, although he suffered no pain, simply a numbed sensation. The victim's voice was not affected and the stroke is not believed to be a particularly serious one. However, in view of his age, 65 years, it may prove to be more serious than Is now anticipated, it is said. Evans was removed to the home of Thomas Lawler, with whom he resides. This is his second stroke of paralysis, having been similarly stricken about twenty years ago, while shoeing a horse. The attack at that time rendered him speechless for several weeks.
HAD GAME BANQUET And County Sportsmen Discussed Affairs of the New Association.
PROGRAM EXCELLENT ONE
The first annual feast of the Wayne County Fish and Game association was held last evening at the Odd Fellows' hall and was attended by about one hundred men, including members of the association and invited guests. Following a banquet several toasts were given, in which statements were made as to what would be benefits to the association. ' It is the intentions of the associa
tion to have a hatchery and brooding place for game fish in order that the wathers of this county may be restocked. The methods by which this could be done was considered last evening. It is probable that nothing final will be done until the February meeting, held
on the second Monday. The new offi
cers will be elected at that time. William H. Kelley, a prominent attorney, and president of the" association, presided as toast master at last evening's affair. He discussed what the club anticipated doing. He was followed on the program by Judge Luther C. Abbott and Perry J. Freeman. These two, who have few equals as after dinner speakers told several "fish" stories.

semblance of a fiesta, in spite of the
activities of the opposition. Clashes

ities. The plans called for the administering of the. oath of office at 10 o'clock this morning, before the mem
bers of congress and the assembled of
ficials, civil and military. The appearance of Dr. Madriz on
the balcony of his hotel before start

sprinkling of jeers, although the gen
eral tone seemed to be more favorable
than it had been in the past.
