Arnie Arnison was instantly killed
new years day by falling limb.
He was engaged with his father-in-
law in telling tree when limb,
twelve feet long, struck him on the
side of the head above the temple.
The deceased was 4 years and six
months old and leaves wife and
two children. He came to Gilman
with his parents from Madison when
he was about ten years old and had
lived near here ever since. He has
kept a store in Spring Valley since
that village was started. Mr.. Ami
son was kind friend to all and his
sudden death is a shock to the whole
community. The funeral was held
Saturday afternoon, at which time
all the business places were closed.
His remains were laid to rest in the
Spring Valley Cemetery. Mrs.
Arnison is overcome with grief at
the loss of a noble and loving hus-
band.
Everett Keller was quite badly
hurt on new years eve by running

others. Dr.. Martin is attending
him.

A young man hailing from Somer-
set, Wis, who contracted a bad
case of smallpox while at work in
logging camps on one of the tribu-
taries of the st. Croix, was appre-
hended here this week and was
returned to Somerset. The board
of health managed to reach him
while he was on an interurban car
bound for st. Paul, and an officer
was sent after him. The car was
disinfected and the fellow was sent
home post haste, the local board of
health being unwilling to harbor a
smallpox patient here who was not
a resident of the county or state

The Woman's Relief Corps initi-
ated method for a banquet Tues
day evening at the joint installation
which should be initiated generally.
They had their banquet-and a fine
one it was in every particular-be-
fore instead of after the exercises
The advantages of this practice are
two-it gives the ladies better
chance for preparation and the after
work and it gives the partakers of
the eatab1es a sufficient time for
digestion before retiring for the
night. A cup of strong coffee and
a hunk of mince pie just before 60
ing to bed are not the best invita-
tions to sleep.

retiring pastor yesterday afternoon.
Refreshments were served and de-

that something be purchased as a
memento of the esteem in which the
church holds them. An elegant set
of dishes was chosen, and this left
the perplexing problem as to what
to do with the balance of the money.
The friends were very generous, land
profuse in expressions of kindly re-
gard.

Show this to some of the grain
raising buckwheaters of Pierce
county. This is just the amount of
milk checks and does not include
calves raised or vealed, which would
raise the amount by 5000 at least.
Neither does it show returns from
the sweet separator milk used as
part food for 100 hogs now on the
farm"
QUERY: How long will it take
our Pierce county farmers to appre-
ciate that creamery in their vicin-
ity would give them better returns
than grain raising, and raise the
values of their farms to something
near the price of land in southern
Wisconsin?

POULTRY RAISING.

An industry which is begin
ming to attract attention in this
county is that of poultry raising.
This fact was strikingly demon
strated at the recent fair when
as fine an exhibition was made as
one cares to see. Every breed
of money-making fowl was
shown, splendid specim S,
which indicated that their own
ers had passed the experimental
stage in this occupation and are
turning their enterprise to good
account.
1t is an encouraging omen to
note the increased interest in
this industry. It offers an inVit
ing and lucrative field for the
efforts of those who are seeking
wealth. In the north and cen
trail states poultry raising has
been reduced to a practical, sci
entific, money-making basis and
the great markets are daily the
recipients of poultry products
amounting to thousands and
thousands of dollars. There is
no reason why the people of this
section should not coin money
out of it. We have railroads Civ
ing US access to all the great
markets where the demand for

John ALEXANDER DOWIE.

John Alexander Dowie, the
prince of grafters and the prem
ier fake of the present time, has
struck a real snag. Gay and
giddy and wicked Gotham vel
coined him with open arms as
long as his mission was merely
to save them, but when this
bearded fuke, who comes out OF
the west, issued his prospectus
saying that he wanted fifty mill
ion dollars out of the city of New
York, the real meaning of his
crusade in that city became
known. Then it was that the
Great Metropolis howled. New
York has long looked upon Chi
cago as sort of precocious
western upstart and when it be-
came known that John Alexan-
der was plain out for the coin
then the trouble began.
From reverential relig ious
meetings at Madison Square
Garden his gatherings soon de-
veloped into rough houses which
required his kaki colored follow
ers and New York honest po-
hcemen to keep from ending in
riot. Aunt Carrie Nation hur-
ried thither realizing that some
thing was doing but John refus-
ed to give her a show and down
ed her at the five yard line. John
then flew the text and got onto
