VIM. II. Phillips Killed.

Last Saturday, April Dist, about
noon, Mr., VIM. H. Phillips, a resi-
dent of Iowa county for 81 years,
met death suddenly by a peculiar
accident, at his farm about three
miles north of this city, on the
Dodgeville road. Mr.. Phillips was
operating a seeder drawn by three
horses, two of them colts. Working
in the same field, and only thirty or
forty yards away from him, were his
son, Alonzo Phillips, and Harry
Jones, young man employed on
the place. Mr.. Phillips was noticed
to get off the seeder, and seemed to
be doing something in front of it, be-
hind the horses then he was heard
by the young men to halo, whoa"
whoa and quickly after his team
was seen to swing around, broken
loose from the seeder. The young
men ran to the seeder and there
found Mr.. Phillips crushed under it,
one wheel shattered and the frag-
ments pressing into his head. They
could not release him until help was
called from neighboring fields, by
which time he was dead. Nothing
further is known as to how the ac-
cident happened. The fatal injury
was from broken spokes of the wheel
piercing the head and face, which
We're terribly mutilated. There was
no serious injury about the body.
Mr.. Phillips was born in England,
March 5, 1923. In lS43 he came with
his parents to Mineral Point. The
following year he began working
for Mr.. Richard Thomas. on the
farm where he met his death. Mr..
Thomas died in 1850, and in 1853 Mr..
Phillips married the widow, so that
he was resident on the same farm
for So years.
Mrs. Phillips died several years
ago, and also one or two children,
leaving only one son, Mr.. Alonzo
Phillips, to survive his father. A
son of Mrs. Phillips, Mr.. G. A. Thomas
and three daughters, Mrs. f. Rey-
nolds, Mrs. Will Champian and Mrs.
II, Champian, to whom Mr.. Phillips
was second father, join the natural
son in filial sorrow, and two brothers,
Messrs. Edward ID. Phillips of this
city and John J. Phillips of Dodge's
Grove.
Deceased was esteemed and re-
spected as an industrious, good citi-
zen, kind hearted man and helpful
neighbor, whose sad death shocks
the community. A large concourse
attended the funeral on Tuesday af-
ternoon, when the remains we're de-
posted in Graceland cemetery, this

ISLANDS WITHOUT OWNERS.
Good Opportunity for Government
That Has Lighthouses to Spare.

Frederick A. Cook, writing of antarc-
tic exploration, tells of certain islands
that might well be fitted with light
houses:
"A series of low pyramidal masses
appeared under the southern sky. It
was like a bank of blue fog fringed
with snowy bands. The whole length
of our seaboard formed an ill-defined,
clOud-like aggregation resting on the
black water and extending the entire
length from northeast to southwest.
AS we steamed on, the center groups
became more distinct, and the whole
line rose above the horizon, where we
recognized it as the northern exposure
of the South Shetland islands. During
the afternoon a gentle but piercing
wind came from the land, bringing
with it CLASSY air and an easy, sill
very sea, over which the new land
stood out in bold relief We could dis
tinguish Livingston island over our
port bow, and northeastward, melting
into the blue airy distance, were nu-
merous similar islands Over our
starboard bow was Smith island, it's
base still under the water so miles
away.
|'In a general way this coast-line re-
sembles parts Of the Greenland land
scape. About the largest islands there
are many small, ice-free isles, or rocks,
which are the resting places of seals,
penguins, cormorants, and gulls. On
the larger islands, and especially on
Livingston island, there are high
peaks and rounded, dome-like hills

BOER-BRITISH WAR.

Heavy fighting about Ladysmith is
believed to be in progress.
Cardinal Vaughan said the war was
forced on England by the beers.
The kaiser is said to have praised
the boer policy of relying upon rifles.
The British marched on Ladysmith
after crossing the Tugela was begun.
Some Australians at Rensberg were
captured by beers after hard fight.
The i'll feeling in Germany caused by
the British seizures is disappearing.
Boer official reports show the com
mandants knew all about Buffers
moves.
London war officials believe that
the tide has turned in favor of the
British.
Beers who attacked a British posi-
ton near Colesberg, Cape Colony,
repulsed.
Major-Gen. Tucker arrived at Cape
Town from India to take a command
under Lord Roberts.
Gen. Butler is reported to be within
twelve miles of Ladysmith, where the
welcome sounds of relief guns can
be heard.
The beers describe the British
bombardment after the crossing of
the Tugela as probably the most
frightful ever witnessed on land.
There is report from Lourenzo
Marquee that the beers are about to
sue for peace, being disappointed at
the non-interference of the powers.

however, which came out for any dis
