Toe Badly Smashed
Robert Aidebrom Has Narrow
Escape from Serious Injury.

Monday evening Robert Aidstrom
aged Is years, had the small toe OF
one foot run over and smashed by
the Rock Island engine.
About eight o'clock while the en-
gine was being put in the round
house, Robert went on the turn ia b.
el at the back end of the engine to
catch on for ride. He intended to
step to the break beam but his foot
slipped, struck the rail and directly
under one wheel of the tank, which
run over the toe, but the engine was
moving very slow enabling him to
Withdraw his foot before the other
wheel reached it. He ''hollered, 1.-THE
hostler hearing him brought the en-
gine to a stop. The boy went home
and the injured toe was amputated.
He will be alright again as soon as
the wound can heal up. It was a
very narrow escape for the boy for
if he had fell under the wheels he
would have suffered serious if not
fatal injuries. 1t is another lesson
for those who have no business
jumping on trains to keep away.

PROPER TREATMENT OF
PNEUMONIA.

Pneumonia is too dangerous a
disease for anyone to attempt to
doctor himself, although he may
have the proper remedies at hand.
A physician should always. be called.
1t should be bourne in mind, how
ever, that pneumonia always results
from a cold or from an attack of the
grip, and that by giving Cham ber-
laiu's Cough Remedy the threatened
attack Of pneumonia may be warded
off. This remedy is also used by
physicians in the treatment of pneu-
monia with the best reults. DR.. W..
j. Smith, of Sander, Ala. who is al

CANDIDATE FOR REPRE-
SENTATIVE.

The representative question from
this district has been receiving some
attention Of late on the part of the
politicians and persons more immed-
lately interested. Hon. S. Morse,
of this place, who made the race for
the nomination two years ago and
nearly won it, feels he is the logical
candidate this year: We understand
that j. M. Dickson, of Fulda, has de-
cjded to enter the race. AS Mobiles
county has the senator they ought
to be satisfied with that, but II too
many from this county run for the
nomination some enterprising Mob
sic county pan will come up and

should get together and stand by
some one from this county. .-6azette

A Candidate.
F. l.. Humiston Wanted as Dele.
gate to Republican Nat

The friends of f. L. Humiston
have persuaded him to enter the
field as a candidate for election as
delegate to,tEe Republican National
Convention at Chicago in July when
Theodore Roosevelt will bs selected
as republican candidate for the
Presidency. Mr.. Humiston did not
think of seeking this honor until a
large number of his many friends
impressed him with the idea that he
bad better become candidate from
the second congressional district.
There are three or four other candi-
dies in the district The district is
entitled to two. Be tie other can
didates who they may. we have this
to say for MI. Hulniston. He is now
serving his second four year term
as Clerk of Court for this county.
This position he has filled to perfect
satisfaction OF all, from Judge to the
common citizen. Norman stands
higher in the estimation Of his fol-
low man, among republicans or
democrats Of this county. He is a
conservative and loyal republican
and not offensive IN his political
opinion, toethose opposite MIN. He
is an ardent ;admirer Of President
Roosevelt. Endorses and supports
all forms of government advocated
by the republican party, that are
consistent with public welfare.
II Mr.. Huimiston election was
confined to this county, it would
have been sufficient to secure his
election by merely mentioning him
as a candidate, but az other counties
have a voice we cannot too strongly
advocate his selection or speak too
highly of FL. Humiston, as fitting
candidate to credltably represent
the second district to the great and
important convention. The dele
gates to the district convention need
have no hesitancy in voting for F.

is DE- clarei elected

Mrs. Slater Dead.
Passed Away Saturday Morning
at the Age Of II
Years

Mrs. Richard Slater died at the
home of her; daughter, Mrs. F. G..
Bailey, last Saturday morning, Feb.
27th. She had been unable to walk
about since last April, but was not
suffering especially until the last
three week when she had an attack
of bronchial pneumonia.
Mrs. Slater survived her husband
scarcely three months. In her death
this community loses another OF it's
early settlers, and one whose integ-
rity Of character and consistent
Christian life has been potent infu-
ence for good in our midst. for near
ly forty years. Mrs. Slater whose
maiden name was Angellne Louise
De1uing, was born at Wethersfeld,
Conn.,, Aug. 20, 1882, of Puritan an
cestry. Among her relatives on her
mothers side she counted ex-Gov-
ernor Horatio Seymor OF New York,
first cousin. Her early training
was earnestly Christian and at the
age of eighteen years she united
with the Baptist church. She often
told her intimate friends of how
she was baptized through hole cut
in the ice of the. Connecticut river
in winter
The. older residents of Preston
often spoke Of her self sacrificing
ministry in their homes in times of
sickness and trouble. She eutliv ed
many of those with whom she had
been associated in charitable and
religious work, but of such it is said
'They rest from their labors and
their works do follow them.
Mrs. Slater was tho mother of five
children, only two Of whom survive
her, Mrs. F. e. Bailey and Leigh
Dell. The funeral services were
held on Monday afternoon at the

Our Taxes.
For What Purpose We Pay Taxes
and the Amount ~
We Pay.

At5this time OF the year there is
considerable discussion as to the
cause of high taxes, which is used
as an argument that license should
be granted to lessen the taxes. We
will admit that it does lessen to
some degree some peoples taxes
but the neighbor pays them. The
person operating saloon does not
bear the burden, it would be selfish
to throw the burden of paying $500
a year on any one man whether. he
is ia the saloon business or not,
The one who pays the $500 tax, re-
eciyes it from the tax payer direct,
he acts as collector and at the same
time, realizes profit. People would
think it strange to- pay a county
treasurer a commission to collect
taxes, yet it would be better to do so
as he would not give the payer back
that which is injurious without linn
it. mo man operates a saloon with
outtreceiving the funds for the pur-
pose from the hands of the tax pay
or. With the increase in taxes we
can5show that the people are better
off financially this year than last by
$1247.34, saying nothing about the
profit Of the saloon keeper and dis
tiller using 1909 saloons as a basis.

May Cause Fire.
Mice in Masonic Block Eat Match
es and Hoard Money.

It is often said when no other
cause can be attributed, the mice
must have caused the fire. We
think evidence that mice may cause
fire has been discovered in Worth
ington.
The other day while Olaf Palm
was removing the window frame to
make door way in the brick wall
in the rear of the Masonic Block, he
discov cred in the air space between
the walls, on a brick, mouse nest,
six matches partly gnawed and ten
cent piece One of the matches was
entirely eaten away except the head
or part that ignites, the others were
half or nearly eaten away, The re-
naming portions bore the marks of
the work OF mice. 1t is believed
that this is conclusive evidence that
mice carry to their nest and eat or
gnaw matches. This is the first in
stance such a thing has actually
been discovered. The pieces OF
match have been laid on a shelf in
the building and can be seen. AS
to the silver piece no explanation
can be given as to how it came to be
there, except by mice carrying it as
the prick was SO located that money
could not have reached that point
by falling through a crack OF open
ing. If the mice carried it there
where did they get it. This is not
an advertisement but Nance better
look out for his bologna when he
moves his market to that building.

L. S. Nelson opened the defense
to the jury. The defense was that;
the injuries to Garvey we're caused
by Meyer instead of the defentants.
Anton Kock, called. sworn, and
testified: Was at st. Kilian, Jan. 81,
and know Garvey and Meyer-saw
them there at...that time--also the
defendants. Saw Garvey and Mey-
or pull off their coats in Soehner's.
went out-dian t see any scuff1ing.
When I came back in few minutes
Garvey was wiping blood from his
left eye with his left hand. Also
saw Meyer and Garvey fighting in
street. I went to Schroer's-was
there when Bremen came. Garvey
came up behind he at the door of
kitchen to strike Bremen l jumped
one side and they came together
we're at it about a minute. Saw the
stove was tipped over and Mrs.
Schroer called ''fire.' Next I saw
Wigger come in the house.
Cross Had been
drinking some that day-but could
have taken good deal more. Did
not see the fighting at Schroer's.
Didn't know how stove got knocked
over.
At this time, H. W. DeJong, one
of the jurors trying the case, was
excused from service-by consent
of all parties-on account of serious
illness of his wife.
B. Bremen, called and testified:
Lived at Wilmont-knew the part
les in the case. Saw Meyer throw
Garvey down at Soehner's-two or
three times Garvey was bleeding
and it was hard for him to get up.
HE wasn't down at Sehroer's.)
Cross s-eXaminatiOn: Had been
drinking--probably four glasses of
beer-was not drunk.

Cross showed that he
was helping Soehner dispense IL
ouor Had plead guilty to selling
