MRS. RElRsoN DEAD
Stricken With Apoplexy Oh sunday
Morning Mrs. Il n. Reierson
Died Wednesday Night.

One of the saddesr deaths that has
occurred in this community is that
of Mrs X. N. Reielson, which took
place at her home on west Fourth
street Wednesday night at l0:35
o'clock, Sunday morning Mrs.
Reierson was stricken with apoplexy
while in the basement of her home.
AN siiortly after giving a cry for
help She became unconscious and re-
manned so up to the time of her
death. 1t was hoped against hope
that She might recover and if the
wishes and prayers of her numerous
friends could have been answered
Mrs. Reierson would have been re-
stored to health. During the four
days the deceased did not give the
least sign OF returning consciousness
and 1T was indeed a pitiful case.
The deceased VAS 35 years of aye,
and with her surviving husband, has
resided i'm Mitchell for the past ten
years. Two little girls. ageG 6 and
9 years, are left motherless at an age
when her tender care will be best
appreciated. The deceased was a
woman Of a quieu disposition and
the goou work she has accomplished
speaks the highest volume of praise
i'm her life. She was a generous, ten
defhealted lady, and was always
ready and willing to render assist
ance anS aid in whatever cause came
to her notice. These attributes
have brought her the lasting friend
ship OF many people who will cherish
the memory of this inestimable lady.
Mis-. Reierson was taken from a
home that possessed every attribute
of happiness, and her pleasantest
moments were when her husband
and two loving children were at the
fireside. Life had just opened to her
it's choicest blessings but the grim
reaper took her from them as she
bad arrived at the point to enjoy
them to the full, since they had but
recently moved into a home OF their
own.
Mrs. Reierson was a member of
the Norwegian Lutheran church
when she resided at Mable, Mimi,
the home Of hel parents. She was
also a member Of the Eastern Star
Chapter and of the Degree of Honor.
In both of these lodges she was high
ly esteemed by the members for her
great interest IN the work and all
will sincerely mourn her untimely
death. To the husband and child
rem is extended the sympathy of all
those who knew the deceased.
Wednesday afternoon Mrs. G.. O.
Hougan, the mother, and Mrs. e.
j. Elefson and Mrs. NJ. c. Chris
topherson, of Mable, Mimi, sisters,
of the deceased, arrived and was at
her bedside when the summons came.

Taking Desperate Chances.

1t is true that many contract colds
and recover from them without TAX
ing any precaution or treatment, and
a knowledge of this fact leads others
to take their chances instead of CIV
ing their colds the needed attention.
1t should be borne in mind that
every cold weakens the lungs, lowers
the vitality, makes the system less
able to Withstand each succeeding
cold and paves the way for more ser
ious diseases. Can you afford to
take such desperate chances when

cert in the Mitchell Club rooms for

would have been crowded. AS it was
the Don was half full of people.
For an hour or more Prof. Baldwin's
band played popular and classic num-
bers in a name to demonstrate the
ability of the musicians and that of
their capable and pleasing director.
Prof. Baldwin has the nucleus for a
fine band which he will take to the
st. Louis exposition next Septem-
Der, and we are confident he will
make the other bands go some. AZ
ter the concert was over B%aldwin's

that orchestra is simply surprising.

If The JAPS LOST

The special cable to the Marine Ex-
change today tells of a serious repulse
sustained by the japanese. -Four war
ships are reported to have been lost by
Admiral Togo in the fight.
According to the last advices from
the Japanese admiral he had resumed
the attack on Port Arthur The pre-
sent dispatch indicates however that
the Russians\ were able to get some of
their fleet into commission and engage
the japanese fleet. The dispatch states
that naval battle was fought This
would indicate that the Japanese and
Russian fleets had had an engagement.
On the other hand it is possible that
the damage to Admiral Togo's fleet
was caused by the guns from the shore
batteries. The Japanese boats may
have ventured too close inshOre so that
the Russian gunners got a range on
them and succeeded in destroying some
of the attacking fleet. Did the dis
patch not state that a naval battle had
| been fought the presumption would be
| in favor of the last explanation. on
| the other hand mines might have sunk
some of the attacking fleet. 1t is
known that Admiral Toxic had a big
fleet of torpedo boats and torpedo boat
destroyers. 1t is possible that some
of this flotilla might have been sunk
in the fight. 1t is not unlikely that
the Japs may have ventured inside
of Port Arthur with their torpedo boats
to try and sink or damage more Rus.

American tariff added? No, that will
not do. The western cattle heriers
and meat packers must not be allowed
to make anything out of eastern con-
sumers. Everything produced in the
west must be sold to the eastern con-
sumers for less than European prices.
The most of the meat consumed by
the farmers is slaughtered on the
farm and packed there, SO farmers
do not have to pay for packing.
The oil trust, the steel trust and
all eastern trusts have right to die
tate prices, but no western trust Will
be allowed such privilege. The east
has a right also to dictate all laws
and all court decisions, because they
know best what is for their inter-
ests, and how to make millionaires.
Then when eastern consumers want
to buy imported goods the tariff must
be thrown off. When they discovered,
last winter, that they would need 10
buy imported coal, the tariff was TAX
en- off and they had free trade in coal
for many months The west did not
need any imported coal, so they made
nothing by free trade in coal.
The combination of the Burlington
with the northern roads has resulted
in a great benefit to Nebraska. 1t
opened up the northern lumber coun-
try direct. The lumber from Mon
tana does not need to come round by
Minneapolis as it did before. Then
the export of farm produce by that
line is much the best.
The east is intending to burn the
| greenbacks and knock legal tender Out
of silver and issue wildcat bank bills
in their places. They do not dare tc
do it before the next election, but
will be quite sure to do it soon after
providing they carry the election.
