Burned to Death.

Mrs. W. H. Wing, of Elgin, ILL.,,
was burned to death in her home two
weeks ago. The Elgin Daily News,
in a two column article. says:
THE occurrence of the morning has
cast gloom over the community. A
lady widely known and honored, the
wife of leading citizen, has met her
death under terrible distressing cir
cumstances. Called from earth, al
most without a moments notice, she
perished within sight of the others of
her household and horror stricken
neighbors, who were powerless to aid.
Their efforts to save her were futile.
The calamity has driven the husband
almost insane and has inexpressibly
shocked all. Universal sorrow is felt
and sympathy. The origin is un-
known. Mrs. Wing went into the
garret where the fire is presumed to
have started. After her escape was
cut off by the stairs she went to the
window, but a ladder of sufficient
length was not at hand She was
seen to fall back into the fire, over
come by smoke. by her husband.
The house valued at $4,000 and fur
niture at $2,5OO were almost entirely
consumed
Mrs. Wing had many friends and
acquaintance in this vicinity who
will regret to hear of her sad DEATH

RUN OVER BY AN ENGINE
Edward M. COnnOrs Falls Under
the Wheels and His Left Leg
Is Crushed.

Edward M. Connors, a railroad
brakeman, was run over by a switch
engine on the Milwaukee tracks at 7
o'clock last evening. His left leg
was amputated below the knee at the
city hospital an hour afterwards.
Mr.. Connors is twenty five years
old and unmarried. He came to
Minneapolis a few. weeks ago from
Brooklyn, N. Y, where his mother,
Mrs. Ellen Connors, lives at 866 Pa
cific street.
Mr.. Connors and Jack Griffin, of
60i3 Third street south, Minneapo
lis, were walking along the tracks
just before the accident. Near Jack
SON street Mr.. Connors recognized
the fireman of switch engine that
was approaching and he left his COM
panion and ran to catch the engine.
He jumped aboard and after talking
with the fireman for few minutes
he jumped from the engine after it
had crossed the Robert street bridge.
He slipped ana fell quite close to the
moving engine. His left leg fell al
most before the last wheel of the ten
der. It was badly bruised and brok-
en- from the knee to the foot.
Neither the engineer nor the fire.
man noticed the accident and went
ahead with their engine. Mr.. Con-
nor's body was found shortly after
wards by Griffin, who had continued
to walk up the track after separating
from his companion. The police
were notified and Connors was taken
to the city hospital. Several letters
from friends in Madison, N. D., were
found in Mr.. Connor's pockets and
he had also time check of the Chica
go, Milwaukee & ST. Paul railway
company, which indicate that he was
in the employ of that road as brake
man.-Pioneer Press of March 29th.
The above was cousin of w. j.
O'Connor of this place, who read a
portion of the account of the accident
but thought very little of it as being
ga relative until he received a telegram
Sunday announcing that the above
was at the point of death. Mr..
OConnor went to St. Paul Sunday
on the noon train. The last report
from MrO'Connor was,that gangrene
had set in from the first operation
and another amputation would be
made.

: The Telephone EXCHANGE.

The Herald has taken up the tele-
phone question again relative to the
ablishment of local exchange.
The question was quite thoroughly
investigated and discussed last sea-
son, and in interviewing some of our
progressive business men, it is learn
ed that the same opinion is still ex-
pressed, that there are but few here
who would probably feel able or that
their business would justify the nee
essary expense of maintaining all ex-
change system. Our town is practical
~ but small area, SO that all busi-
ness can be transacted with dispatch
in person without much loss of time
in travel to interview or transact bus
mess of any nature. It would not
increase the volume of any business
whatever; it would simply be a con-
yenience, otherwise, an expensive lux
nry, and often times a source of an
| (noyance. No connection could be
made with the toll line that commun-
nation, could be had with adjacent
or distant towns, Messages could be
repeated but that would not be sat-
ifactory, and the toll line station
would have to be repaired to in per-
son.
The parties who have the most use
for a phone are the doctors and the
druggists. who, we understand, con-
template putting in use for themsel-
YES short line connecting their re-
spective Offices. In this venture the
feasibility of local exchange may be
demonstrated and an extention made
to all parts of the village if it is
found desirable. In this event it is
held that it would be the most prac-
ticable at minimum cost of con-
struction and maintaintance under
the contract of the village.

When is it Best to ThreSh?

It is learned from different parties
residing in. as many different sections
of the county that there is a large
amount of threshing to do this spring.
A number of those who have thresh-
ing to do are at. loss as to the most
profitable time to thresh. There are
some who need the grain for seed
and are compelled to thresh at the
earliest opportunity, but where there
there is no necessity, various opinions
are expressed. It appears that those
expressed by Harvey Shepard are
preferable. He intends to let his
grain remain in the stack until it be-
comes thoroughly dry if not threshed
before June. It being we'll stacked
and the inside dry, the grain near the
outside will dry and will again be-
come hard if allowed to stand. John
Jay, an old thresherman from Mis-
souri,, who has been here; all winter,
is of the same opinion. He has near
ly enough threshing to run him into
next seasons work.
