The election will take place on November 5th, from which it will appear that the candidates have less than two weeks in which to complete their canvass.

That they are all making the best use of their time goes without saying. The ballots are unique this year in that they are smaller than has ever been known since the adoption of the present method of voting. The size of the sheet is about eight by four Inches and besides the column containing the names of the four parties for a "straight vote" there are three short columns only, giving candidates for "State Treasurer," "Prothonotary," District Attorney," "Sheriff." Candidates for state treasurer are as follows: Republican, John 0. Sheatz; Democratic, John G. Harman; Probibition, Matthew H.

BOLICH SON Clothiers and Shoers 121-123 South Oak Street MURDER AND SUICIDE SADDEN TWO HOMES High School Girl, Made Furious by Apparent Desertion in Time of Need, Uses Revolver with Deadly Effect Lucy Doughtman, 18 years old, sweet and comely and a member of the sophomore class of the Shamokin high school, sent a bullet crashing through the brain of William Klinger, of Locust Gap, and then sent another into her own districted brain. William Klinger went to Shamokin last evening on a coal train and hur ried over to 211 S.

Vine st. to the home of the girl with whom he had kept company for a number of months. He did not enter the house, but called the girl to the front gate, where a spirited conversation took place. The mother heard and knowing something was wrong called the girl into the house. She had scarcely closed the door when two shots rang out in quick succession.

A brother of the girl grabbed his shotgun and ran to the street. There lay the bodies of the two young people. The man, who was 22 years old, was dead with a bullet in his right temple; the girl had a bullet in her left temple and was unconscious but still breathing and died in a few minutes. The revolver, a 32, was still clutched tightly in the hands of the girl. Later examination of the gun revealed the fact that but two cartridges had been in the gun, and both were used with such deadly precision.

Miss Doughtman was a member of the sophomore class in Shamokin high school and it is reported to have been the leader of her class. When she graduated from the grammar school last June a year ago, she was the leader of her class. She was bright and beloved by everybody with whom she LOCAL MERCHANT SLYLY MARRIED Left Mount Carmel and Its People in Dark as to His Intentions. Thomas J. Camp, the local shoe merchant who has conducted a very successful business in our city for several years, left a few days agofor a short visit, ostensibly with friends in a neighboring city.

Tom is married now. The ceremony was performed in Ashley on Tuesday, the 22nd inst, and the bride was Miss Ida Blewitt, a very prepossessing and accomplished young lady of the growing town along the western border of Wilkes- Barre. The young couple left for an extended wedding journey New York City, the Jamestown exposition and Wash ington. Mr. Camp and his bride will receive an hospiable greeting from the many friends of the young business man in this city, who will all wish for them a harmonious and prosperous journey over the hills and through the valleys of Life's varied meanderings.

FRIGHTENED AND JUMPED OFF CAR While a Schuylkill car was pulling up the hill above 12th street, about 2 oclock Tuesday afternoon, something went wrong and the car began running backward quite rapidly, running A block or so before the motorman got control of it again. In the excitement a young girl named Snow, from Locust Dale, ran out and jumped off the car. She fell and struck her head and it is possible that her skull is fractured. She was taken into Hamburger's carpet store in an unconscious condition and Dr. Maurer was called, and later she was taken home.

A young man going to work also jumped off and injured one of his knees. The car continued on its way to Lo cast Dale a short time after the mis. hap, and no harm would have resulted to any one had those mentioned remained on the car.

The young man was one of Locust Gap's best known and most popular young men. He was the son of George Klinger, and was well known in Mount Carmel. His body was brought to his home and will be buried from there. He was a member of W. U.

No. 231, P. 0. S. of in Mount Carmel.

It is reported that a letter was found in the pockets of the young man which asked him to come down at once and demanded reparation for her wrong, saying that as she had loved him in the past, so she hated him now, but wanted an honorable name for her offspring. It is also reported that Miss Doughtman had told the girls in school yesterday that she would be married soon. A young man friend of Klinger spent an hour at the station in Shamokin last evening waiting to warn him not to go near Miss Doughtman, as he had heard she intended to shoot. If Mr. Klinger had gone down on the passenger train instead of the, freight train he would have met this friend and might have saved the enactment of the terrible tragedy.

The story is a sad one. It tells of the trust of a bright young girl in the love of a man, and how apparently that love was being crushed under the burden of neglect until the poor brain wandered and lost its bearings, and the terrible deed was done. There is evidence that the young man did not intend to desert the girl, but seemed not yet ready to make the only honorable reparation for the wrong he had done. The girl feared exposure and took execution into her own poor little hands. INSTANTLY KILLED AT THE RELIANCE Miner Finds Instantaneous Death While at His Work in the Mines.

MITCHELL DAY WILL BE QUIET There will be no celebrations in Mount Carmel on Mitchell Day this year, at least none have been announced up to this time, but every colliery in the region will forbear to dig and clean the dusty diamonds on that day.

Many other towns in the Anthracite region have planned for celebrations on the day set apart as one upon which to particularly honor the great leader of the miners. The Mount Carmel admirers of the President will be no less interested in the day because there is no public demonstration. Some of the union leaders have felt that during the continuance of the serious illness of their chief a quiet observance of the day would be more appropriate than a noisy demonstration.

Comptroller Ridgely Says the Banks of the Country are Safe. Washington, Oct. of the Currency Ridgely gave out a statement saying that the general feeling indicates an absolutely sound gituation, that there was not the slightest need of apprehension about the banks and trust companies of the country, that the banks of the reserve cities have every disposition to leave their balances in New York and other central reserve cities, and attributes the trouble in New York to the condition of a very few concerns discredited by the operations of their officers, and to the different prices of stocks and securities as between New York city and the country banks. Comptroller Ridgely's statement follows: "I have talked by telephone with bankers in practically every large city in reach of Washington, and also with a number of bank examiners. I hear of no trouble whatever among the banks or trust companies outside of New York.

The general feeling is that the situation is absolutely sound, and there need be not the slightest apprehension about the banks and trust companies of the country. My advices from New York are that all the banks got through the day better than they expected, and that there is now entire, perfect concert of action, so that the situation is well in hand. "The trouble in New York has been due to the condition of a very few concerns, who were discredited by the operations of their officers, and also to the fact that the prices of stocks and securities, which form the basis of such a large proportion of New York city loans, are now the lowest they have been for many years, while among the country banks just the opposite is the case. A very small proportion of their loans are based on collateral security. Mercantile, manufacturing, mining and agricultural operations are not only now very active and the price of all commodities high, but there is an active demand for material and produce of all kinds at prices which are very profitable to the producer." ABOUT DOUBLE BARRELLED GUNS The Double-Barrelled Gun is not Outlawed by Recent Enactments.

Within the last few days sportsmen hereabouts who wanted to observe the law to its strictest letter, had a good bit of doubts about going into the fields with a double-barreled gun. They have learned, however, that the law does not and will not effect a gun of this kind, despite any talk to the contrary. It has been learned from Dr. Kalbfus, secretary of the state game commission that the law does not effect a double-barrelled gun, and that such may be sold and used as freely as ever. He says: "The law forbids the use of an automatic gun for the killing of game or wild birds in this state.

This does not in any way interfere with the pump gun, lever gun, or any other gun excepting the one, that through the discharge of a single shell, throws a loaded shell into the barrel and cocks the gun."
