Nearly Killed.

Walter, son of John Angstman of
Ashley, narrowly escaped instant
death recently as the result OF a kick
by horse. While caring for the ami
NAL it kicked him squarely in the face,
crushing the frontal bone and destroy
ing the right eye. Nothing was known
of the frightful injury until he was
found unconscious. DR.. Lewis was
summoned and under skillful treat
ment he is getting along nicely and
will probably recover.

An Official Statement.

The following official communities
ton appeared in the Avalanche last
week, which the HERALD cheerfully
copies: r..
Editor The Avalanche-For the in
formation of the public the health
officer wishes to state that there are
seven houses in Sank Centre under
quarantine for smallpox at this date.
The cases are comparatively light and
the general situation encouraging;
unfortunately there are numerous ex-
pOsures from outside, and we can
hardly hope to see the end at once
The only effective remedy for this
state of things is general vaccination.
If our citizens will at once attend to
this matter-be vaccinated and have
their families Observation-Disclosures
will have no hold on the city at large.
Twice during the past week leading
citizens have In my presence and In
the presence of the mayor of. the city,
expressed the opinion that smallpox
did not cut any figure and intimated
that too much fuss was being made
over small matter. These gentle
men, physicians and editors, ! who
are supposed to reflect public opinion,
would do we'll to keep such express
sions to themselves. They should
remember the health officer is respon-
sible, that he has hard duty to full
fill, and that they should assist and
not oppose him in such duties. They
should also bear in mind that the CITY
of Sank Centre has narrowly escaped
general quarantine, and that such an
event is not impossible in the future,
unless all our citizens unite in the
effoat to make it impossible.
am pleased to be able to state tn at
no new cases of diphtheria have devel-
oped inNthe past ten days, and further
danger from that source is unlikely.
/ ask Of the citizens of Sank Centre
sympathy and support, not hostility
and opposition. Finally, please get
vaccinated.

Health officer.

Church OF the Good Samaritan, OF
VIII ich he bau been the beloved rector
for nearly twenty years. After the
regular morning services, which were
we'll attended. b6irf idre sses were
made by s'hla5 7. aendryx, Judge l..
r. BarSo ard tile acting rector, Rev.
f. M. Garland ..s.
Mr.. Hendryx spoke of the exalted
esteem in which he was held by his
parishioners. and referred to those
characteristics which endeared him to
all. His modesty, his sincerity, his
charity, his love of humanity for hui
manity's sake, were referred to, AS
also his devotion to his pastoral work;
and withal his profound learning. 49,
Judge Barto paid an exalted tribute
to his memory, making special refer
ence to his connection with the Ma
sonic fraternity and his services upon
the library board-in both of which
fields of activity the Judge had been a
close associate. His strict discipline
and unboundeh loyalty were ,dwelt
upon: as also that other side of his
character, his delightful social quail
ties which flashed out so brilliantly
after the restraints of the routine work
in the lodge room. His keen sense
and enjoyment of the humorous. his
earnest participation in conversation
and discussion of general and social
topics, permeated at all times with a
quiet dignity aud earnestness which
challenged universal respect and held
the affection and este m of all.
Judge Barto had served with him
for years upon the library board, and
he spoke of his inestimable value in
shaping the character OF our library:
his unerring judgment in. selecting
books. made possible by his extensive
reading and profound learning. His
Influence for good upon the library,
and through it upon this community,
will last long, long after his remains
have crumbled to dust. 1t was a
touching eulogy TO friend by a
friend.
Mr.. Garland spoke most feelingly
of his predecessor, whom he had only
met upon one occasion, but whose men,
DRY was SO dear to his people. He
felt how difficult it was for him to sue
coed such a man, and yet with the in
spiratiOn of his great influence upon
the parish he prayed that he nigh car
ry on the work worthily. Mr.. Gar
land gave brief statistical outline of
his work as rector of the parish. His
conclusion was beautiful tribute to
the deceased as faithful parish priest
and typical Christian gentlemen.
The congregation listened to the
several addresses with sympathetic in
terest and many an eye was dimmed
with tears of genuine sorrow. 1t was
all impressive service.

BY CLOSE VOTE
BABCOCK'S AMENDMENT TO WAR
TAX REDUCTION BILL DE-
FEATED, z TO 6.
CAME UP AS A SURPRISE

The Author and Mr.. Tawney, Repub.
leans, Voted With the Democrats in
Favor of Largely Reducing Duties
on the Steel ScheduIe-House Takes
Up the oIeomargarine Bill After Dis
posing Of Several DiIatory Motions.
Washington, Feb. 4.-The ways and
means committee of the house, by
unanimous vote, ordered favorable
report on the war tax reduction bill.
A surprise occurred when Representa-
tive Babcock (Rep., Wis., offered his
bill largely reducing duties on the
steel schedule ano placing some arti-
cles on the free list as an amendment
to the tea repeal section. The amend
ment was defeated, to Z, Messrs.
Babcock and Tawney and all the Dem
ocrats voting in the affirmative.
The Cuban reciprocity question also
came up Unexpectedly, Representative
Steele of Indiana moving Is per cent
concession on Cuban sugar. The mo-
ton was withdrawn, however, after a
brief exchange of comment.
The closeness of the vote on Mr..
Babcock's amendment reducing the
steel schedule caused much comment.
Messrs. Newlands and Cooper, Demo
Gratis, and Long and Hopkins, Repub-
licans, were absent. It was explained
on behalf of the absent members that
they were either out of the city or de-
tanned at important committee meet
ings elsewhere and that the Babcock
motion was entirely unexpected.
The motion of Mr.. Steele for Is
per cent reduction on Cuban sugar was
regarded as rather facetious and as a
rejoinder to the unexpected motion on
the steel amendment. Representative
Robertson of Louisiana, who is OPP
posed to q reduction on Cuban sugar,
was among those who voted for the
Babcock amendment. Following this
Mr.. Steele made his motion and a
sharp but good natured parley occur
red between Mr.. Steele and Mr.. Rob
ertson. The latter suggested that if
any motion on sugar was to be made
Mr.. Steele should broaden his PROPOSE
ton so as to include raw and refined
sugars, placing them all on the free
list. Mr.. Steele did not press the mo-
ton. however, and after it's withdraw
al the incident was looked upon as hui
morous rather than a serious move
toward dealing with the Cuban ques-
ton.

Facts VS.. Fiction.

A story is told illustrative of the
suddenness with which municipal and
other authorities drop smallpox
suspect. The story goes that last FL j.
day man escaped from smallpox
quarantine at Park Rapids and that
the authorities of that village tele-
graphed the state board of health of
the fact. The fellow, who is a
Scandinavian and who had a fellow
countryman as a companion, was a
passenger on the east-bound train on
the Park Rapids branch of the Great
Northern and he and his friend when
the train reached Sank Centre were
extremely druHk from the contents of
bottle of alcohol, and it became
necessary for the conductor to use
force IN removing them from the
train when he was ready to start on
the return trip. The officers at Sank
Centre, unsuspicious that one of the
men was the suspect, promptly lock-
ed up on the charge of being drunk
and disorderly. Saturday morning
however when the news came that
the prisoner was a smallpox patient
escaped from quarantine the Sank
Centre officers lost no time in break
ing down the bars and sent their man
on his way. It is said he was a pass
enger Saturday morning from Mime
apolis, and on his arrival there was
gathered in to observation-disclosures
Press.
There is just enough truth. in the
above to give the item currency. and
upon which to hang the false charge
that the Sank Centre authorities dis
charged him when they knew he was
an escape from quarantine.
The two were locked up in the early
afternoon for disorderly conduct, one
of them having broken two windows
in the car, and finally had the fight
taken GU. of him by a timely blow from
Conductor Eastman. They were re-
leased in time to take the eastbound
passenger at 3:15 a. m. The following
morning, long after they had left DR..
McMasters received telegram that
one of them had escaped from quaran-
tine-the first that was known OF the
fact-and he telegraphed the Mime
apolis heath officer, as that was their
destination. The telegram was re-
fused at Minneapolis, and the Doctor
was forced to pay the charges OF the
telegram.

War Office Officials Openly Charged
With Incompetence.


London, Feb. SIN the house of
commons Major Arthur Lee, Conserva-

United States army during the Span

military attache at Washington, said
Great Britain had been offered the
services of the chief horse expert of
the United States army as adviser in
the purchase of American horses for
the British army. The revelation was
made during a heated debate on the
remount question, when Major Lee
said:
""The accredited representative Of
the war Office Colonel Wardfop, the at
tache at Vienna was given no oppor-
tunity of showing what knowledge he
possessed of the resources of the

newspapers that British officers Had
