Meetings were held in the chapel
while she was here. Many new and
very inspiring thoughts concerning
educational work were presented.
John Eager returned to his home ia
Milwaukee last Thursday.
The boys dormitory on which the
academy carpentry class is working,
progresses well. 1t is now ready for
the mason's work in plastering.
Special meetings in behalf of home
missionary work were held at the
Bethel church November q and %.
The academy chapel overfiows with
students. Already it is necessary to
use the room back, known as the
annex, for seating the students who
gather in the morning. Prof. Wash.
burns chapel talks lately have been
upon the value and right use of oul
time. Many have expressed them.
selves as being greatly benefited by
these talks.
The class in land-c clearing at the
school are this year spending theil
time upon fallen timber. 1t is
thought that there will be enough Of
this to supply all the necessary fue
for the winter.

John Yankewitz, a farmer living at
Sherry, was killed by cave-in of a
sawdust pile at Becker'S mill Satur-
day afternoon at o'clock. Farmers
who had been hauling sawdust during
the past week had made a deep
hole in tue pile. It seems that
Vaudeville was digging at the bottom
of this hole and that the frozen crust
on the top fell down, thus burying hini.
The Becker brothers, who were repair

team was standing at the sawdust
pile an unusually long time, went to
investigate. They found mans
foot protruding from under the fallen
sawdust. They Immediately dug him
out and found that the man was
dead. Yankewiltz was forty-eight
years of age and leaves a wife and
four children. The deceased came to
this county ten years ago.
