The lecture last Monday night by
Hervey Smith MCGOWAN was a notable
event A great personality backed by a
great purpose and inspired by the high
est ideals combine to make him a lect-
urer of more than ordinary power. His
primary purpose is not to entertain by
wit and humor. although he possesses
both, but to move by the force of ideas.
His mode of address is rushing and
sweeping. For two hours he held the
audience and when he was through
many said they were not ready for him
to stop. 1t is the general opinion that it
was the greatest lecture that has been
given in Edgerton since Vending was
here.
Monday afternoon while at work ex-
cavating for the setting of new boiler
in H. S. McGiffin's warehouse at James
Vile, Chas Allen died almost instantly
from heart failure. He worked along all
day until about four o'clock in the after
noon when he was found in the trench
he had been digging, by Henry Kauf-
man. fireman at the warehouse. When
discovered by Kaufman there was a
slight futtering of his pulse, but there
appeared to be no heart action. Kauf-
man at once called for assistance and
the unfortunate man raised from the
place where he had fallen and medical
assistance 'phoned for. DR.. Whiting
responded to the call, but when he ar
rived Allen was beyond recall, although
injections were made to try and resuci-
tate him.
