DROWNED!
Young Man Falls Out of a Boat While
Hunting Ducks.

Sunday afternoon, George John
son and Jos. Christana, went to lake
Ocheda duck hunting which termin'
ated fatally for the first named.
While they were on the lake in
a small fat bottom boat about six
o'clock and opposite Wills slough,
johnson stood up in the boat and
shot at a flock of ducks. As he shot
he lost his balance and fell out into
the water and upset the boat, throw
ing Christana out. They both caught
hold of the overturned boat and
hung On for about twenty min
utes, when johnson started to swim
in an easterly direction and for the
shore about half a mile away. He
went only about ten feet when he
suddenly sank and came up three
times. Christana not being swim
mer was powerless to render any
assistance and the horror of the
sight of man drowning and un-
able to give any aid can be better
imagined than described. Christana
called for help and parties who
were about half a mile away came
to his relief. When, taken ashore he
was nearly stiff from being in the
cold water so long.
Why johnson started to swim
ashore is not known as he said
nothing about doing so but simply
let go of the boat and made toward
shore. He was considered a good
swimmer, but had on hip boots,
heavy coat, sweater and a box Of
shells in his pockets, all of this nat
urally overloaded him, besides hewas
chilled from being in the cold water
Had he clung to the boat awhile
longer he would have been rescued
as there is almost daily some one
hunting on this lake. Work was at

RANSOM.

Mrs. Shepard leaves this week for
Hubbard county in the northern
part of the state. She goes to visit
her parents, our former townspeo-
pie. A number Of her young friends
called on her before she went away,
and spent very pleasant evening.
Mss Carrie Sorem left on Mon
day for Jewell, TO-, where she will
resume her studies at the Lutheran
college at that place. Carrie speaks
very highly Of the school, of both
teachers and students, and no
doubt it is a very good and safe
place for young people to gain an
education. When parents send their
sons and daughters from home to
attend school they like to know
something about the kind Of place
they are going to, and this certain
ly, is all right. Do we ever stop to
think of the far reaching influences
which have their rise in the schools
of our country9 How different in
this respect today! Many of us
can we'll remember the time when
tho majority of our rural schools
were faithfully typified in the"Hoos-
ier Schoolmaster,' and when the
farmers son or daughter who receiv-
ed a high school education, even,
was the rare exception. But now
the opportunities of higher educa-
ton are better than ever before,
and our people are not slow to seize
upon the golden opportunities and
make the most of them. I cannot
but think that all this promises we'll
for the future of our country.
Through the courtesy Of my good
friend F. T. Graves, I was privileg-
ed the other day to see a letter
from our old friend and neighbor,
Mrs. D. c. Holmes. Mr.. and Mrs. |
Holmes are living at Essex, Page
county, Iowa their old home. They
are both in fair health, but Mr..
Holmes begins to note the failing
strength of advancing years. When
he takes bart in any meetings "he
goes at it with his old time vim"
says Mrs. Holmes "but he cannot
hold OUT: as he once, could Their
son John has BEEN quite q: sufferer
from his eye and also from paralE-+
sis, but is now much better, and
hopes soon to be able to finish his
course of study at the business col. !

once commenced to secure the body
and the search was kept up until
nearly twelve o'clock before it waf
discovered and brought to the sur
face There was a large number went
out from town to assist in the search
and all done good work. The re-
mains were taken to CLANCY and
Mackays undertaking rooms for pre-.
paration for shipment and burial.
The coroner made an examination
of the body an found no water in it
and decided that death was caused
by heart failure. The father says
that himself and wife are both sub
ject to heart trouble and think the
boy was.
Mr.. Johnson's parents lives at
Cresco, Iowa. His father is con-
tractor and builder. The Mayor at
Cresco was notified by wire of the
accident Monday night.
Mr.. johnson came here about six
months ago and was in the employ
of the Colman Lumber Co. He had
a large number Of friends here and
was we'll liked by all who knew him
and his employer. He was a faith
full and steady employee. While his
parents are strangers here, yet the
entire community regrets the sad
accident of 80 promising young
man and sympathize with the be-
reaved family in the sudden taking
a way of their son.
The father, Herman Johnson, ar
rived here Monday afternoon and
was grief stricken in the loss of his
son. He will leave here with the
remains Tuesday morning at 10
o'clock. Short funeral service will
be held at the undertaking rooms
Of CLANCY and Mackay at eight
thirt clock TOMORROW morning. j.

This site is very favorably located

as it is possible to get one, it being |
across the corner from

TELEGRAPH IN MOROLAND.
Signal Men Have Many Destructive
Enemies Of the Wires to
Contend With.

In the field it was our practice to
throw up fly, canvas, or sometimes
only shelter half, and under this place
the instrument and get to work
sending and delivering messages with
the wire on the ground. If possible,
gangs of natives were secured and light
poles put up to string the wires. II
permanency of the camp were assured,
then the corps would undertake to es-
tablish a good line on cocoanut or 9TH
err strong poles. But in garrison, one
of the Spanish forts and here he finds
not only excellent quarters for Office
work, but good place to sleep in, says
the Engineering Magazine.
The Spanish took every precaution to
protect their telegraph and signal tow
ers, and usually employed one of the
corner or end towers of the fort for the
purpose. There is no possible means
for entering at the front or sides, be-
cause it is all solid masonry. The rear
door is about Is feet above the ground,
and is reached by steps. These steps
can be hauled up for protection. There
are several port holes in the tower, and
az the signal men are properly armed,
a good resistance could be made in the
event of a Moro attack.
The signal men have three or four
classes of enemies of the wires to deal
with. First, there are the ladrone
Moros, who chop out sections of the
wire for the sake of the wire for me-
chanical use on their farms. Then
there are the foes who cut down poles
and fell trees across the wires and the
like to cut off communication and you
have to travel out in the rains or the
night with small guard and half a
dozen linemen to repair the break.
Then the white ants are bother, for
they eat the woodwork of the poles in
places in a few months, and the pole
topples over. Then there are the gales
that sweep debris on the wires and stop
operations. Earthquakes have occurred
twice in the past year with such vio-
Ience that the wires have been wrecked
along mountain sides by landslides.

THE WORD OF HOPE.

A poet in whose heart despair
Had sunk her fingers tore them loose
And putting on hopeful air
Sent out song of courage where
He feared 'twould be of little use.
'The proud" he said, perhaps will
sheer
And make my song of hope jest,
But I shall triumph if I cheer
One weak and weary soul or clear
But one doubt from some achine
breast.
'.The ones who scott, self satisfied
And free from woes that warp ana KILL
Will toss my song of hope aside
And in their wisdom and their pride
Show pity for my lack of skill
''Tis strength" he sang, gives faith to
seek
The glad, fair ways that lie ahead.
They fail who sit downcast and meek
For hope is strong and doubt is weak
Joy comes by patient courage lea.
There came from those he thought to be
Self-satisied one who confessed,
Who bowed in deep humility
And cried: New hope has come to me
Despair was hidden in my breast"
Why fear to preach good cheer? we
ne'er
May guess what heart lies deep. in pain;
Each golden arrow shot in air
Is fatede to descend somewhere
No hopeful word is said in vain.

BASE NEGLECT OF DUTY.
Some OF the Things That Are Ex-
pected of Men Who Aspire to
Political Leadership.

To become political .leader," and to re.
tain the post successfully, requires eternal
vigilance. One politician, quoted by the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, says that in the
tenement districts the leader becomes a
sort of unofficial mayor, guardian and ia
ther of his people. He can never ignore a
request. To do SO is to offend not only
the individual who makes it, but all mis-
relations.
One woman asked district leader to take
her baby into his family while the mother
wens out of town for weeks visit. Again,
he was called up at two o'clock in the morn
ing by couple of men who had got into a
dispute, and wanted him to arbitrate. He
was expected to see that the poor had coal;
to bail out those who were arrested; to Sc
cure work for those who were out of employ
ment; to have police fines RENTED; to at
tend marriages, picnics and funerals.
One family of voters renounced him perma-
nently because he did not call when seven
year-old Thomas broke leg.
"But l didn't know he had broken bis
leg!" the leader demonstrated.
"Sure, and you should have known it.
But ! didn't even know you had son
'That settles it," and the father took
up his hat. Tim Sullivan would have
known it. Niver meal have you ate in me

OLDEST LIVING CAT.
Feline Which Recently Gel
ebrated Its Eighteenth Birth
day Mt Gnlien.

G. Leslie Nye, commonly called
Pretty or Purt, is the Oldest cat in the
United States, having just celebrated
his eighteenth birthday. AS a frolic-
some kitten he was conspicuous among
the wedding gifts of Mrs. F. A. Nye, of
Galien, Mich, and after long life
his mistress insists that he is the
most even tempered cat in the world
because he is always cross. But this
is really libel, as he has been per-
fectly devoted to Mrs. Nye's only son
and is fondly attached to the whole
family.
But he hates felines and wars with
every cat that ventures on the place.
Mrs. Nye raises a thousand chickens
every summer, and for years he has
assumed the responsibility Of protects
ing them from cats, dogs and rats.
Even the willy weasel is no match for
G. Leslie Nye, who catches and kills
every one who visits the chicken
ranch His only utilization is with the
family COW, which allows him to ride
bareback fashion when she is grazing
Ill Luc pciSIuiS
He is an epicure-loves a good
brand of coffee and dotes on raspberry
pie. Also squash, corn, cabbage, and
tomatoes, but his chief delicacies are
fish, oysters, and game. He is per-
fect1y Indifferent to yellow legged
chickens, but wants his milk served in
a pink saucer, and insists on having it
warm and foamy from his friend the
bessie.
G. Leslie Nye is beautiful orange
cat with white markings, and Mrs.
Nye has life sized pastel made Of her
famous pet Notwithstanding his adj
vanced age, he is in perfect health.
and the fact that he has lost most OF
his teeth does not cripple him as a

both paws and worries it to death by
twisting it's head until its neck is
