Daily Too Veuiuresome.
They Got Beyond Their Depth
and Could Not Swim.
Thsy We're Rescued BY Young
Men Who We're Near.
From FRIDAYS Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
Death by drowning was narrowly es-
capped by two thirteen year old girls in
Earth river near lie Hitler yesterday
afternoon shortly before five O'Clock.
These girls are Margery Bohan, daush-
ter of Mrs. f. r. Bohan, of lie Hitler,
and Pauline Daley, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs J. b. Daley of Alapleton and cou-
sin to the first named girl. Both are
alive and well today, but sick of the
idea of wading or bathing in the river.
A number of children, some of them
dressed in bathing suits, were wading in
the water near the place where the two
so nearly lost their lives. There were
both boys and girls in that crowd, but
the boys were all little and the two
girls above named were the oldest and
therefore the boldest. They had been
going down to the river for several
DAYS. but had never before run into any
danger Yesterday the two were more
adventurous than before and thought
they would try to learn to swim.
Suddenly the Daley girl, who had
stick in her hand, said, Here's a hole"
She had scarcely uttered the words,
when she went down and out of sight
The other made grab to save her, and
also lost her balance and went down.
Allie Bohan, a younger sister of Mar
gerry, saw them sink and screamed for
help. This attracted the attention of
a thirteen year old boy on the bank by
the name of Joseph Beach and he, too,
called for help. Ray Cummings, an
other thirteen year old boy, who happen
ed to be near the wagon bridge, took
the alarm, hurried to the spot, plung-
ed into the water, and swan after the
Daily girl.
Both girls had risen and gone down
several times. Margery had learned to
swim few strokes, and knew of one
fact. namely. that the body cannot sink
when the lungs are full of air, and the
breath is held She fioated down about
one rod and managed to reach place
not beyond her depth, struggled out of
the water, and saved herself without as
sistance.
Ray just succeeded in seizing the
Daily girl by the hair, and swan to
shore dragging her with him. She was
almost unconscious when he got her out
of the water Mail Carrier Pames
Bates happened by, and hurried to the
boys assistance. He knew how to re-
suscitate drowned person, and soon
had all the water out of the girls lungs.
Ray Cummings, the boy whose quick
ness and presence of mind prevented a
fatality, is son of Carpenter Cum

This afternoon crude looking, iron

Iy landed in the hands of machine re-
pairer for $50.
The machine had been found upon the
farm that George A. Wise deserted at
Beauford, when he went off to Beaver
Dam, Wis. George was about forty
years old, and used to "batch it" on the
farm. He became discouraged with the
weight of debt that rested upon him
and his property. AT length he went
away leaving the farm to its fate.
The place has three mortgages upon
it, held by Matte McArdle of Danville,
and l.. Troendle and John r. Norton of
Mapleton, in the aggregate amount of
$4,000 Wise also owed $3.50 to At
torney w. N. Plymat. Mr.. Plymat
has been attaching the property of the
debtor. The auto was found at the
farm. This brought only $22, but Mr..
Plymat will redeem the mortgages and
take possession of the farm, which will
give him just about enough equity to
pay the rest of the money due him.

NEED OF RECIPROCITY.
What Foreign Countries Are Doing to
Shut Out American Products.

Shut Out American PRODUCTS.
From Mondays Daily.
Conditions of the near future brought
about by the policy of reprisal adopted
by leading European governments whose
markets have heretofore offered ready
demand for our surplus food products.
are creating general alarm among the
farmers and stock breeders of this coun-
try who have given serious consideration
to the matter. and the trustful indiffer-
ence which so long has been fostered by
the plausible arguments of the advo-
Gates of Stand-patism and the policy
of exclusion, is giving way to an UNI
rest which promises to be expressed lat
er on in an insistent demand for modi-
tications OF tariff schedules that will cut
out the graft on which favored indus
tries arc fattening and extend the ben
efits of the true policy of protection
and reciprocity to the geenral public.
The Rock County Herald says: The
immediate cause of this unrest is the
new German tariff and the treaties with
Italy, Belgium, Roumania, Switzerland,
Servia, Austria Hungary, and Russia,
which have recently been negotiated by
the imperial chancellor and adopted by
the German Reichstag.
In the absence of reciprocal treaty
or other convention, after the first of
next March, when the new German tar
i'll goes into, effect, the products of
American farms seeking markets in
Germany will be subject to the auton-
omous or unmodfied tariff rates, which
for all the products we export Will be
largely increased and in many instances
will be practically prohibitive. For in
stance, the rate per double centner, or
800 pounds, will be increased on wheat
from SO cents to $l.7S; on rye from
.S3 to 81 &c: on oats from 81 to Sligo;
on barley from Al to $l.66; on corn
from .S3 to $l.l9; wheat flour from
SI74 to 1896; sausages, from $4.04 to
$l666; sailed meats from $4.04 to $lO,-
II; butter from $3.50 to STA; cheese
from $476 to $7.l4; eggs from Al to
Sl42; cows and oxen per head, from
So. IA to $4.2S; hogs per head from SLID
to S4.2S; and so on through the entire
list of American farm products.
Then. with this heavy handicap, our
products must be sold in competition
with the products of the countries
above named whose exports. under the
reciprocal concessions secured by the
treaties Just concluded, will be admitted
at much lower rates.
When we take into account the fact
that last year our exports to Germany
amounted to $2l6,S4l 500; when we re-
alize what the loss of this market
would mean to us; when we face the
fact that the same policy of retaliation
has been adopted by most of the lead
ing governments of Europe; and when
we comprehend what disastrous effect
the closing of the outlets for our sur
plus products would have on our boast
ed home market, we may get some idea
of what the policy of exclusion is lead
ing to and to what urgent extremity
the need has come for the adoption OF
the true Republican policy of tariff mod
ification and reciprocity for which Pres
ident Mckinley made his last appeal in
his speech at Buffalo.

that the principal cause is to be sought
in the delay of the company itself in
calling bond elections in the different
towns and villages and in purchasing
its right of way. If this is the case, the
contractors are, of course, relieved of
responsibility for the delay, and can
carry the work over into next year

There is much speculation along the
route of the new road as to the To-
cation of the several stations. There
is good money in these town sites and
the railroad officials always save the
plums either for the company or them
selves, operating often through town
site companies organized for the pur-
pose. Obviously, it is not given out
where the towns along the line to Man
kato will be located nor is it possible
to ascertain just how many stations
will be established. 1t is a little over
fifty four miles to AIankato, according
to the old survey of the new road which
is being closely followed. With one
station in each six miles, this would al
low for nine stations, or six in adddi-
ton to Albert Lea, Freedom and Nam
kato. 1t is entirely likely that two of
these six additional stations will be
located in Freedom county, one in the
central or west part of Manchester
township midway between Albert Lea
and Freedom and one in the far north
western part of Freeborn township, close
to the Waseca county line.
