man, teaching school, had occasion to
punish a mischievous girl, and, as was
usual in that day and locality. was

The winter time has come and a good
many young colts will be hitched up for
the first time. Colt breaking has indeed
had a reformation in the past twenty-five
years. There was time when 1T was
considered that the only way to have a
good horse was to let him run until four,
five or six years of age, then bit him up,
put the harness on him, then harness
him, and by means of brute force to
conquer him, and in due time get him so
he could be driven to vehicle. Now
the young colt is halter broken while fol-
lowing his dam, and before he is year
old he is used to being harnessed and
his spirit is not broken thereby. l pre-
sumo every colt is benefited by being
bitted, that is he will rein more readily,
though remember of getting one so it
would rein very readily by using a bride
and lead rein. The colt was playful and
would run out and bring up at the end Of
the rein. This hurt his mouth some
what, presume. He pulled always on
one side, but know that the first time
put both reins on the colt would rein
well in either direction, and was always
broken thereafter.
Probably it would not work the same
in all cases, but this one was very sensl-

If one happens to wander about one
of the wholesale markets in any of the
large cities he cannot but fail to OBJ
serve the difference between now and
the hard-time years of 1S94-'96. In
those days poor women and ragged
boys and girls were to be seen sneak
ing about with baskets or aprons
gathering up any old and stale vege-
tables which could not be sold. To-
day around any of the large markets
whole piles of leftover vegetables,
wilted or damaged-tomatoes, cab
bages, egg plants, turnips. corn, etc.
are carted away every day as waste,
and no "poor people" appear to claim
or beg them. This is something
which the average politician who is
crying "reform" fails to observe or
to comment upon. but it is neverthe-
less genuine testimonial that the
dinner pail is really full.

SECOND FATAL TRAGEDY
Another Decorahian Meets a Terrible
Death Under the Car Wheels.
CHARLES HARGREAvEs THE VICTIM
Slipped and Fell Under the Wheels While
Attempting to Couple Some Cars in
the Milwaukee Yards,

The residents Of the city of Decorah
and those who were here from outside
last Wednesday night would scarcely
believe the report when it became
known that again, the second time
within week. one of our citizens had
met an awful death by being crushed
under the car wheels. The news was
soon confirmed, and shade of deep
sorrow was everywhere evident.
Charles Hargreaves, the Oldest son
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Hargreaves,
living on River street. had been at the
fair grounds during the day, and re-
turned home about six O'Clock. After
supper he went over to the Milwaukee
tracks, where the extra train which
brings in the laborers at night was
switching and preparing for the night
run out. In their switching they had
placed two sections of cars ON the
main track and one on the side track.
Charles Hargreaves went in between
the two main track sections of cars
to make the coupling when they came
together, and in some way slipped
and fell, the wheels passing across his
body just below the hips, crushing his
limbs, and cutting the abdomen so
that the intestines were exposed. He
was seen by Ole Evenson, who called
to the trainmen, and they came as
quickly as possible, yet it was several
moments before the car was moved so
as to release him from beneath the
wheels. DR.. Barfoot was passing and
was called, who directed his removal
to the home near by, when DIR. Ste
vens was also called, and upon exami-
nation they saw that the unfortunate
boy could live but a few hours at
least, and did'not operate. but kept
him as easy as possible until the end
came, at little after ten O'Clock.
During the interval between his ac-
cldent and death Charley was rational
and conscious, and in reply to ques-
tions said to different ones attending
him that he was told to set the brake
and make the: e:coupling, and attempted
to follow the directions given him.
This is also reported to be the case by
the other boys who wore with him
when the fatal accident occurred.
The sad affliction which has thus
visited this home calls out the heart
felt sympathy of all. It is particu-
larly hard to part with dear ones in
this manner, just as they are entering
upon the sterner duties of life. This
boy had for years, we are told, been
attracted by the trains in the yards
near his home, and although repeated
ly warned, seemed to be unable to
resist the temptation to be about them.
He was q bright, cheerful boy, and
had many friends.
The funeral services were held ON
Saturday afternoon from the family
residence, Rev. DR.. NJ. Willett
officiating.

Mr.. Bryan continues his comments
on the Republican party, which are
neither new nor original. He recently
stated that the republican party de-
serves little credit for the present con-
dition of the country, since they, the
Republicans, merely retained the
Cleveland money policy. The repub-
licans did precisely what they promis-
ed they would do during the Mckinley
Bryan campaign Of 1896. They rescu-
ed the country from the blighting
effects of the Cleveland Wilson free
trade law and they saved it from the
proposed Bryan financial panic. The
result, Immediately the election was
over. was restoration of confidence, fol-
lowed by tremendous commercial
activity and prosperity. This is the
history Of the last eight years in q
nutshell and all the demagogy and
sophistry of democrats and populists
combined cannot make it more nor
less.
