n Fatal Accident

As Mr.. and Mrs. Fl. f. Nobel were
returning home from a visit at Geo.
TIL Smiths last Friday evening about
IL O'Clock an accident occurred that
resulted in the death OF Mrs Nobel and
the serious injury of Mr.. Nobel. AS
they were passing along by the resi-
denceOf @. Reynolds the horse became
frightened at a load of wood that
some one had left by the roadside.
The buggy was overturned throwing
the occupants down an bankment.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Nobel struck their
heads against the frozen ground with
great violence. Mr.. Nobel did not
lose consciousness and endeavored to
retain his hold of the lines but after
being dragged quite a distance was
forced to release his hold. Returning
horror-stricken to find that she was
in state of Inconsistencies. Hurry
ing TO the house as rapidly as his
condition would permit he secured
IlC doSiobduCC VI MS SUM- Ohl 10. N1DCl
and another man and conveyed Mrs
Nobel to the house. Every effort was
made to revive the aged lady and
alleviate her sufferings, but all these
efforts were unavailing. She never
recovered consciousness, but lived
until Saturday evening when she
passed away.
Mrs. Nebel was of Danish extraction
and was about 20 years of age. The
couple came to this country from
Denmark about 80 years ago. They
were very much attached to eact
other and Mr.. Nobel is disconsolatt
over his irreparable loss.
The funeral was held Tue sday after
noon, Rev. IcIntosh conducting the
services. The remains were followed
TO Greenwood cemetery by a large
number of the neighbors of the
family, accompanied by the Dania
Society of Hudson.
Five children, three boys and two
girls survive the mother. The sym
pathy of all who have ever known th'
family goes out to the bereaveC
| relatives.

ONE or TWO WAYS

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is not liable to any form of
disease except by one of two ways. The
first way is from imperfect action of the
kidneys. The second way is from care
less local treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause OF bladder troubles.
So the womb, like the bladder, was Great
ed for one purpose, and if not doctored too
much is not liable to weakness or disease,
except in rare cases. 1t is situated back
of and very close to the bladder, therefore
any pain, disease or inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often by mistake, at
tributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is easily
made and may be as easily avoided. To
find out correctly, set your urine aside for
twenty-four hours; sediment or settling
indicates kidney or bladder trouble.
The mild and extraordinary effect of DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney,
and bladder remedy is soon realized. If
you need medicine you should have the
best. At druggists, fifty cents and one
dollar. You may have sample
bottle and pamphlet both sent free by

The February Badger in style,
workmanship and contents is per-
haps the best that has yet appeared
1t seems to be the disposition of those
in charge to get out paper that is
representative Of the school in the
broadcast sense. Such we believe is
the province of any such journal but
it is quite noticeable that many
school papers fail in this particular
by filling their columns with light
protitless material. Among the good
articles Miss Shultes' description Of
the Giants Causeway is worthy of
note. Miss GilflIan also of the
Faculty con tributes an article on the
language courses. The Science de-
partment contains mum Der of inter-
esting notes.

Our enterprising citizen, John Bar
rett, is interesting himself in behalf
of the Amateur Band, and, incident
ally, contributing TO the enjoyment
and reputation Of the city. He has
initiated a project to secure the cree
tion Of a band stand Every public
spirited denizen Of the city and SUI
burbs will not only give his hearty APP
proyal to the scheme but contribute
something more tangible IN the shape
Of funds to secure the necessary ma
terials or the skilled work Of his
hands in erecting the same.
This baud stand is to be no cheap
SLOUGH affair on stills, uncouth and
forbidding in aspect, an eyesore and a
derision, but a handsome, convenient,
and attractive construction. While
It is not expected to make the edifice
as durable and artistic as solomon S
Temple with its 1853 columns and its
2,906 pilasters, the manager intends to
build such a stand as will not only at
tract the boys in their new uniforms,
blaring horns and resonant tomtoms,
but Will put them in humor to dis
course their most enchanting and So
norous measures, and draw an admir-
ing audience to encourage their eff
forts. A good band in a town is an
advantage to it. and the boys need
and deserve encouragement. The
stand is to be built on the lot south of
the Gladstone Hotel. Contributions
to the fund are being solicited by Mr..
Barrett. Give him a dollar or two.

DIED.

CLoUGH-At his home in this city, Feb.
"a, 1898, of heart disease, John NJ.
Clough, aged 70 years, months and l3
days.
Mr.. Clough was born at Corinth,
Vermont, Nov. II, 1924. He moved to
Lowell, Mass, when IS years of age, and
was married there to Miss Susan J. Rob-
erts April 6, 1858, by the eminent divine,
Robert Collier.
Imbued with the spirit of enterprise
which was so common among the young
men of New England of thst ime, he
moved west in 1858, selecting the Kinnic-
kinnic Valley as his home. From that
time he has been, with the exception of
short period, resident of River Falls.
In the early part of his residence here
he was an active business man, and &C
cumulated some property, but the infrm-
tiles of age have of late compelled his re-
tirement from severe labor and he has
contented himself with his garden and
occasional visits to his numerous friends.
Mr.. Clough had a genial disposition
and good heart, and his companionable
nature won him many good friends. His
family consisted only of himself and his
wife.
There was a large attendance at the
funeral, which was conducted by Rev. G.
II. Mcintosh on Saturday afternoon.

March 3, 1898, Of pneumonia, Susan J.,

friends who will miss her kindly COM

A brother and sister have been tele-
graphed at Lowell, Mass, and the
friends are awaiting an answer from
them before arranging for the funeral.
