EDGE.
In the current number of the West
land Educator, Supt. Of Public In
struction w. L. Stockwel, makes the
following excellent comments on
North Dakota's resources, schools, etc:
In a recent number Of the Outlook,
Mr.. George KEENAN,, writing upon
tsThe Social and Political Condition of
Russia" says in one paragraph, "Now,
as in past, Russia's politically untrust-
worthy subjects may be arrested with
out warrants, imprisoned without
trial, deprived of property without
judicial procedure and banished to re-
mote parts Of the country without
even so much as a hearing" A little
further along, by way of illustrating
this point, he says, IF, to take another
illustration, Secretary Hitchcock, by
and with the consent of President
Roosevelt, should suddenly notify W.
D. Howells, Richard w Glider, Geo.
6 H. Putnam, Horace White, John h.
McMaster, Professor VanDyke, John
Burroughs and George B. Harvey,
that they must abandon their business
and live for three years under police
surveillance In North Dakota, Oklaho-
ma or Alaska these gentlemen and
their friends-if they had no power tt
resist-would probably become revolu-
tionists Of very active type"
It is possible that Mr.. KEENAN, meant
to cast an odious reflection upon our
state. yet, it seems to us, that he
shows a wonderful lack of knowledge
OF this country and fails to exhibit
those cosmopolitan traits which one
might expect to find in man SO wide
ly travelled as he. Yet without doubt
. great many people in the Cultured
East" would expect to find us living ir
sod shanties and carrying revolver
or bowie knife to protect ourselves
from the savage Indian. We are SOFT,
for them, but believe that if they will
venture beyond Chicago they will fine
in this great and prosperous North
Z west a people as liberal, as enlight
ened and as progressive as can b.
found anywhere in the world. Stats
4 tics are not altogether reliable, bu
the per capita wealth in North Dakot;
is as great, if not greater, than that o
any other state. Apparently RELIABLE
statistics show that North Dakot
spends more per capita for education
than any other state in the Union
the amount being $50. New Yorl
and Massachusetts,, two great state
of the East, spend $40 and $5.1t
respectively. North Dakota spend
more in the total by 100000 than doe
North Carolina with six times tn
q population. We doubt if Mr.. Kenna
+ would consider North Carolina re
mote part of this country, yet we fee
that distance does not of necessit
carry with it the idea Of "remoteness
as seems to be suggested by the gen
i tleman. Ignorance is, in our judg
ment, one of the surest proofs Of ere
moteness" and that it not found i
Ri North Dakota.

3. e. JONES' CONFIDENCE II
HYOMEI,

HYCMEI.
Not Penny Need be Paid Unless 1t
Cures You of Catarrh.
"Use Hyomei and be cured of ca
tarrh," says B. E. Jones. When re-
sponsible business house like this
comes out and advertises that Hyomei
will not cost penny unless it does all
that is claimed for it, it shows what
remarkable confidence they have in
this scientific medical treatment.
A complete Hyomei outfit consists
of a neat inhaler, that can be carried
in the pocket or purse. a medicine
dropper and a bottle of Hyomei, and
costs but 81.
The inhaler lasts lifetime and
when extra bottles Of Hyomei are
needed, they can be obtained for SOC.
This treatment does away with all
disagreeable and dangerous stomach
dosing. Breathed through the Hy-
omei inhaler for a few minutes four
times day, it impregnates every par
ticle of air taken into the air passages
and lungs with germ killing and
health-giving balsams. In this way 1t
cures the most chronic and Deep
seated catarrhal diseases Of the air
passages and respiratory organs.
The user Is the sole Judge whether
Hyomei is to be paid for or not. II
it does not help, B. r. Jones will
cheerfully return the money and II
will not cost a penny. .:.5<

HARDNESS REDUCED TO MINIMUM
galf.Holiday Provision Working Wonderfully in
Public Schools.

The provision passed by the board
,of education last January allowing
each room in the public school half
holiday for each month during which
1t had no tardiness has worked
wonderfully well, and Superintendent
e. T. Critchett is greatly pleased.
November of last year the tardiness in
the high school and all the rooms was
1923, and during the November just
passed only twenty-five cases are re-
ported.
This is twenty-five cases out of a
possible 24,722, allowing each pupil
5wo chances q day, and this is a re-
markable percentage. Superindent
Critchett explains it by the increased
interest taken by the pupils themselves.
The noticeable thing about the tardi-
ness is that it is confined to five rooms,
where the children are small

MIsHAPs FOLLOW IN QUICK ORDER
Fractured Ribs, Broken Arm and Dislocated
Shoulder Afflict Mrs. GIaessmann.

Badly frightened by the unex-
pected explosion of gas in her cook
stove Saturday, Mrs. William Glaess-
man of Lafayette township, Nicollet
county, fell backward and in her fall
fractured her left arm above the elbow
and dislocated her left shoulder.
The sad part of the accident is that
Mrs. Glaessman was just recovering
from an accident which happened
about two months ago when she broke
the same arm only in a different place
from the last fracture, and broke sew
eral ribs.
Saturday afternoon Mrs Glaess-
man was fixing the fire and put hod
of fresh coal in the stove and then
left the room for few minutes,
evidently forgetting to turn on the
draft. When she returned the gas
which had accumulated in the stove
from the fresh coal exploded, shoot
ing flame though the crevices in the
stove and soaring the woman so thai
she gave a quick jump backward
tripped and fell full weight on he
| left side.
| Mrs. Glaessman is naturally in
very nervous condition from tn,
shock from the two mishaps.

WAS IN TOWN DAY BEFORE DEATH
William Schneider Seen on Streets in Drunken
Condition.

William Schneider, found dying by
the Northwestern tracks several weeks
ago, was not riding through the city
on the freight train, as was generally
supposed, but either boarded the train
at New Ulm, or did not fall from the
train at all, but was struck by the
engine while lying near the track. It
is now known that Schneider had been
in New Ulm the day previous to his
death for he was seen on the streets in
a partly intoxicated condition It is
possible that he was one of the tramps
put off the early freight by a brake
man, and that he climbed back again,
or he, may have been walking along
the tracks and laid down in drunken
stupor where he could have been struck
by the edge of the cow-catcher.

While Hunting.

Ledger, was the victim of a gun acci-
dent Saturday and as result is very
lame in his left foot The scribe had
gone to Searles for a hunt with friends,
and had taken 22-caliber rifle.
He was just starting out from the
house on his trip and was holding the
gun in his hand, muzzle down, when in
some way the trigger was pulled and
the bullet went into his foot, stricking
between the toes and coming out the
ball of the foot, travelling toward the
heel.
A physician from New Ulm was
called and the wound dressed. The
ball was found lodged in the sole of

SlQo OF MAIN street.
WOMEN DO BRAVE SERVICE.
A bucket brigade was also formed
and men, women and children labored
in the heat and smoke carrying water
in a desperate effort to save the main
business portion of the town from
total destruction. Soon farmers began
to arrive from the country and they
too lent hand until the fire fighting
brigade numbered fully 500 people.
Forty minutes after the start of the
fire the three buildings were blazing
ruins and every now and then a wall
would fall with crash that would
send flames and sparks leaping sky
ward.
Several times the buildings across
the street and the lumber yard caught
fire but quick work with the buckets
put the blaze out before it could do
much damage. With the fall of the
three buildings the main danger was
over, although work was kept up all
night by from forty to fifty hardy men,
and the ruins were still smoking
Monday.
BANK BADLY SCORCHEo.
OF the buildings across the street
that suffering most was the Bank of
Hanska. The building was ablaze
several times and the siding had to be
ripped off and will be replaced. Inside
the bank the fixtures and furniture
suffered also. Altogether Cashier
Emil Hage places the loss at $500.

BROWN COUNTY, MINI, WEDNESDAY,. DEcEMBER

other two buildings in few minutes,
and in a quarter of an hour after the
explosion all three structures were
wrapped in flames.
In the meantime there was wild ex-
element in the last row of buildings.
Mrs. Hart, the barber's wife, lay sick
in bed, and seeing that his home was
doomed, Hart hastely wrapped her in
q blanket and carried her through the
sparks and smoke to safety in the
open street.
TIMELY RESCUE SAVES LIFE.
It was then that young Surheim
thought of his clothes, and rushing up
nto the burning building, he began a
wild search for his trunk When he
found it, the trunk was empty, his
clothes were scattered about the room
and it was useless to try to get them.
He started for the stairs. but already
half snficated by the smoke, he fell
just as he reached the top step and
there he lay until Robert Thompson
brayed the flames and bore him to
safety in his arms.
In the few minutes that all this was
taking place the fire company and an
immense throng had gathered and
every effort was made to subdue the
configration, but it was useless and at
last all hope of saving the three
doomed buildings was given up and
attention was turned to preventing the
spread Of the fire to other buildings
across the street. The hand pump was
lowered into the we'll at the Thompson
corner and a stream of water was
thrown onto the lumber yard east of
the fire and on the Bank of Hanska,
the harness shop, the old printing
| shop and other buildings on the south
side of Main street.

Women and the Baltimore Fire.

A generous and graceful tribute
to the calmness of women in dan
ger is that paid by Mr.. Lynn Roby
Meekins, editor of the Baltimore
Herald, in his article in the June
Delineator. He tells not only of
women who worked in the thick of
the destruction with and for their
employers, husbands and fathers,
and of the brave and cheerful way
in which, when all was lost, they
set to work at humble occupations
to support themselves, but of their
ability to rise quite above the con-
sideration of material things in the
recognition of essentials. One
young husband" he says. made
his way home and, pale and
trembling, approached his wife.
I am ruined, he exclaimed. My
dear, she replied. smiling through
her anxiety, you are not hurt
bit. That was the woman's view
of the situation. 1t was mainly
personal.

MURDER OR
SUICIDE?
Mysterious Tragedy at Santa Cruz
Last Night.
Frank B. Dallas Found With Ugly
Wound In Neckem Writes Unknown
Name as that Of His Assailant.

A mysterious tragedy occurred
at Santa Cruz near the ferry on the
other side of the Rio Grande, some
time last night, which is applicable
either as a case of attempted sui
eide or attempted murder. Frank
B. Dallas of Mississippi, a civil
engineer who came out to this
country a short time ago, was
missed this morning at the place
where be had been staying for the
past week at Santa Cruz. A search
was instituted which resulted in
his being found near the wind will
not far from the rivers edge, with
an ugly wound on his neck, APP
parently cut by a sharp bladed in
strument.
No trace of the instrument has
been found, but Mr.. Dallas razor
was missing from his grip, which
was nearby, and it is supposed
that it was used to inflict the
wound and probably thrown into
the river afterwards. He was un-
able to talk or make any explana-
ton. and, while it is supposed to
be an attempt at suicide, nothing
is known positively. Acquaintance
es had very recently heard Dallas
hint that something of this nature
might be expected.
The wounded man was taken to
the civil hospital in Matamoros and
his wounds dressed by DR.. Barra-
gan. At last report, he was rest
ing well, and the doctor thinks he
will have the patient out of the
hospital in a weeks time.
Later it was learned that ON
being questioned as to how he was
Dallas wrote the name
of person who is not known here
as that of the one who cut him.
