His left hand was caught in the calendar machine, but luckily it was extracted with only one finger hurt—the one next to the little one being considerably mangled. The young man will be unable to work for some time. Mabel Weaver, who lives with her parents on Front street, was the recipi-ent of a box containing eleven large apples from the state of Washington on Saturday.

Sturgis and son Bert, of Naz-areth, and Mr, and Mrs. Henry Stark, of Reading. Upwards of one hundred people called to extend congratulations during the day and evening. Refresh-ments were served. The Moravian church trombone, choir appeared at about 9. P . M. and rendered several sé-lections. The couple received a large number of useful presents. MANY RABBITS ARE NO MOKE Tuesday Marked the Opening of the Season for Shooting the Little Cotton Tails. Nimrods by the score hied to the fields early on Tuesday morning, which was the opening of the rabbit shooting season. The day was in most respects just right for the sport, although it be-came rather warm in the afternoon. While all the various varieties of game to be found hereabouts are allur-ing to hunt, to some people the rabbit has more followers than any other species, probably for the reason that rabbits are found in greater abundance that any other variety of game and are comparatively easy to hit. It takes a good shot to kill quail or woodcock on the wing, but almost any farmer's boy can bring down a cottontail, par-ticularly if he is keen-eyed enough to find Br'er Rabbit in his bed. This is not such a difficult matter once you know the ways of the little animal, and it is probably that more rabbits are killed "sitting" than when on the run. Rabbit hunters take hounds with them to make the sport entertaining as much as to increase the size of their, bag. It is rather slow sport nosing about fields, thickets and fence corners looking for a rabbit in his bed compared to listening to the music of a pack of small hounds in full cry driving the quarry about until you can head it off and make a kill. No more than 10 rabbits may be taken in one day by any person with-out incarringthe penalty of the law. The wisdom of opening the season on November 1 in place of on October 15, as was once the case, is well shown this fall, for it has been only during the last week or so that the weather has been at all suitable for the sport. Rabbits are neither fat nor good to eat in warm weather, but a few frosty nights make a great change in them. The tendency of some hunters to shcot at anything they see, even though it be a chicken or a tame turkey, caused many land owners to object to strangers tramping over their land for any pur-pose, and the gunners ran up against many obstacles in the way of "keep off" signs while looking for their rabbit dinner. Probably never before have the Lititz folks bagged as many on the first day as this year, which proves the assertion that they are plentiful. Some of the results of Tuesday follow. Lemon Furlow and three sons, 16. Clayton Keller and William Stauffer, 12. Harry Ditaler, Ed. Stoner, Claude Kemper, Lin. Kemper and Lin. Roth, 13; A. B. Long, Eugene Long, F. B. Buch, I. H. Doster and J. F. Stoner, where at Conewago and shot 15 rabbits, several partridges and a ground hog. Graybill Bitzerand Vernon Kline, 14. William and Jacob Kissinger suc-ceeded in bagging 10. Jeff, and Emory Wagner, Frank Rader and son Arlie, Harry Sesseman and Wm. Fasnacht, 16 rabbits and a woodcock. B. Frank Druekenmiller, Dr. D. A. Long and son, shot 13 at Conewago. Child Falls Down Elevator Shaft» Arthur, the six-year old son of Wm. Sturgis, was the victim of an accident on Wednesday evening of last week, which might have resulted in a very serious injury or even death. He was standing on the Second floor of the Stur-gis bretzel bakery on East Main street, (Vhere his father Is employed, close to the elevator shaft, where bretzels are conveyed from the ovens on the first floor to the drier« upstairs. Several children were on the elevator at the time. The elevator was needed down-stairs and one of the employees released the brake and it started to descend. One of the children on the elevator called to the little fellow to get on and in doing so he struck the side of the ele-vator and was hurled to the concrete floor beneath, a distance of about nine feet, where it it presumed he landed on his head. The boy was pieked up and carried to the office of Dr. Evans near by, who worked over h im about half an hour be-fore he regained consciousness. Al-though confined to bed for a few days after the accident occurred, the boy is again up and about, and with the ex-ception of slight pains in the head is none the worse for his experience. A Large Order. C. F. Regennas & SODS, the candy manufacturers who began business here several months ago, last week re-ceived an order from a Philadelphia house for one ton of goods. Besides this they are very busy in filling orders which are coming in at an encouraging rate a n d they are in need of help. D E I HD OF I W E E K THOSE WHO RECEIVED THEIR SOMMONS.

Nissley, and daughter of the late John Reist, of Penn township, died at her home in Florin, on Sunday eve ning, after an illness of several weeks, death being due to old age. Her age was 81 years, 4 months and 10 days.

Philip Sheyer was conveyed to the county hospital on Friday of last week by Messrs. Samuel Snavely, Charles Rosenberg and John Badorf. The trip was made in the latter's automobile. Philip is well up in years and has not been in good health lately. Not hav-ing a home, but being supported by kind friends hereabouts, it was deemed best to take him to the above place, as winter is fast approaching. He was formerly a leaf tobacco buyer and was well-known throughout the county. Although well-fixed financially and making a good deal of money in his younger days, Philip was a good spender and like many others, comes down to the state of poverty. —A new line of ladies, men's and boys' Sweaters j u s t in at Doster's. The Crescent Foot Ball Team of Lan-caster Wins a Hard-Fought Contest— Score 5 - 0. I n grand foot ball weather, on a dry, fast field and before a large crowd, Lititz on Saturday was defeated on the local grounds by the Crescent foot ball team of Lancaster by the score of 5-0. The tackling was the hardest seen at this place this season, and all in all it was a very hard-fought contest which kept the spectators in a frenzy from beginning to end. The Crescents won the toss and de-cided to defend the west goal with a stiff breeze at their backs. They also received the kick-off, and at once start-ed to make large gains, tearing through the line. Lititz at this point of the game was being completely baffled by their opponents. They held for downs eventually and the Crescents were forced to punt, which was fumbled by Lititz and the ball rolled near the goal line, where the locals recovered it. The locals decided to punt out of danger, but Meiskey, standing back of his own goal line, to punt, had his kick blocked by an opponent and a wild scrimmage was made after the ball, Shimp, of the Cresents finally falling on it for the •Only score of the game. The visitors shortly afterward worked the ball within five yards of the goal, but here Lititz took a decided brace and gave a great exhibition of holding the line and the Crescents had to sur-render the pigskin. I t remained for the last half of the game for Lititz to show their real worth, however, and they clearly out-played their opponents. Butzer, who replaced V. Meily at quarter back, gave one of the most sensational exhi-bitions of playing foot ball ever seen at this place. Time and again he would carry the ball for a first down, and the third quarter ended with the ball in the local's possession on the Crescents 5-yard line. Everybody was wild as it seemed certain that our boys would score in the last quarter. But they were doomed to disappointment, as the visitors held for downs. They did this repeatedly in this quarter as the locals had the ball within striking dis-tance all the time. The best play of the game was made by Butzer in the third quarter, when standing on his own 5-yard line he caught a punt and aided by beautiful interference by Gable, ran the ball baek to the 50 yard line. It certainly was a great run. Thomas, the Indian, also played a great game at end for Lititz. Pontz, the quarterback, starred for Lancaster.

"Mysteries of Mediums and Mind- Readers" is the title of the entertain-ment- lecture to be given in the Linden Hall Auditorium on Saturday evening by Dr. Stanley L. Krebs, of Philadel-phia. The lecturer has been in Lititz before and greatly pleased his hearers. He is one of the foremost lecturers in this country and has an enviable repu-tation abroad. The whole entertain-ment affords an unusually exciting and absorbing evening's pleasure and is at the same time of exceptional value as a public warning against the startling frauds now daily practiced upon tens of thousands of honest and unsuspect-ing people.

Nimrods by the score hied to the fields early on Tuesday morning, which was the opening of the rabbit shooting season. The day was in most respects just right for the sport, although it be-came rather warm in the afternoon. While all the various varieties of game to be found hereabouts are allur-ing to hunt, to some people the rabbit has more followers than any other species, probably for the reason that rabbits are found in greater abundance that any other variety of game and are comparatively easy to hit. It takes a good shot to kill quail or woodcock on the wing, but almost any farmer's boy can bring down a cottontail, par-ticularly if he is keen-eyed enough to find Br'er Rabbit in his bed. This is not such a difficult matter once you know the ways of the little animal, and it is probably that more rabbits are killed "sitting" than when on the run. Rabbit hunters take hounds with them to make the sport entertaining as much as to increase the size of their, bag. It is rather slow sport nosing about fields, thickets and fence corners looking for a rabbit in his bed compared to listening to the music of a pack of small hounds in full cry driving the quarry about until you can head it off and make a kill. No more than 10 rabbits may be taken in one day by any person with-out incarringthe penalty of the law. The wisdom of opening the season on November 1 in place of on October 15, as was once the case, is well shown this fall, for it has been only during the last week or so that the weather has been at all suitable for the sport. Rabbits are neither fat nor good to eat in warm weather, but a few frosty nights make a great change in them. The tendency of some hunters to shcot at anything they see, even though it be a chicken or a tame turkey, caused many land owners to object to strangers tramping over their land for any pur-pose, and the gunners ran up against many obstacles in the way of "keep off" signs while looking for their rabbit dinner. Probably never before have the Lititz folks bagged as many on the first day as this year, which proves the assertion that they are plentiful. Some of the results of Tuesday follow.

Child Falls Down Elevator Shaft» Arthur, the six-year old son of Wm. Sturgis, was the victim of an accident on Wednesday evening of last week, which might have resulted in a very serious injury or even death. He was standing on the Second floor of the Stur-gis bretzel bakery on East Main street, (Vhere his father Is employed, close to the elevator shaft, where bretzels are conveyed from the ovens on the first floor to the drier« upstairs. Several children were on the elevator at the time. The elevator was needed down-stairs and one of the employees released the brake and it started to descend. One of the children on the elevator called to the little fellow to get on and in doing so he struck the side of the ele-vator and was hurled to the concrete floor beneath, a distance of about nine feet, where it it presumed he landed on his head. The boy was pieked up and carried to the office of Dr. Evans near by, who worked over h im about half an hour be-fore he regained consciousness. Al-though confined to bed for a few days after the accident occurred, the boy is again up and about, and with the ex-ception of slight pains in the head is none the worse for his experience.

Philip Sheyer was conveyed to the county hospital on Friday of last week by Messrs. Samuel Snavely, Charles Rosenberg and John Badorf. The trip was made in the latter's automobile. Philip is well up in years and has not been in good health lately. Not hav-ing a home, but being supported by kind friends hereabouts, it was deemed best to take him to the above place, as winter is fast approaching. He was formerly a leaf tobacco buyer and was well-known throughout the county. Although well-fixed financially and making a good deal of money in his younger days, Philip was a good spender and like many others, comes down to the state of poverty. —A new line of ladies, men's and boys' Sweaters j u s t in at Doster's. The Crescent Foot Ball Team of Lan-caster Wins a Hard-Fought Contest— Score 5 - 0. I n grand foot ball weather, on a dry, fast field and before a large crowd, Lititz on Saturday was defeated on the local grounds by the Crescent foot ball team of Lancaster by the score of 5-0. The tackling was the hardest seen at this place this season, and all in all it was a very hard-fought contest which kept the spectators in a frenzy from beginning to end. The Crescents won the toss and de-cided to defend the west goal with a stiff breeze at their backs. They also received the kick-off, and at once start-ed to make large gains, tearing through the line. Lititz at this point of the game was being completely baffled by their opponents. They held for downs eventually and the Crescents were forced to punt, which was fumbled by Lititz and the ball rolled near the goal line, where the locals recovered it. The locals decided to punt out of danger, but Meiskey, standing back of his own goal line, to punt, had his kick blocked by an opponent and a wild scrimmage was made after the ball, Shimp, of the Cresents finally falling on it for the •Only score of the game. The visitors shortly afterward worked the ball within five yards of the goal, but here Lititz took a decided brace and gave a great exhibition of holding the line and the Crescents had to sur-render the pigskin. I t remained for the last half of the game for Lititz to show their real worth, however, and they clearly out-played their opponents. Butzer, who replaced V. Meily at quarter back, gave one of the most sensational exhi-bitions of playing foot ball ever seen at this place. Time and again he would carry the ball for a first down, and the third quarter ended with the ball in the local's possession on the Crescents 5-yard line. Everybody was wild as it seemed certain that our boys would score in the last quarter. But they were doomed to disappointment, as the visitors held for downs. They did this repeatedly in this quarter as the locals had the ball within striking dis-tance all the time. The best play of the game was made by Butzer in the third quarter, when standing on his own 5-yard line he caught a punt and aided by beautiful interference by Gable, ran the ball baek to the 50 yard line. It certainly was a great run. Thomas, the Indian, also played a great game at end for Lititz. Pontz, the quarterback, starred for Lancaster.

The whole entertain-ment affords an unusually exciting and absorbing evening's pleasure and is at the same time of exceptional value as a public warning against the startling frauds now daily practiced upon tens of thousands of honest and unsuspect-ing people.
