Death has claimed another victim

lage of Ksndiyohi. The immediate
cause of bis death was dropsy, from

bined with his last attack was instru-
mental in fastening the end. Deceased

past 25 years and leaves besides his
wife three sons and one daughter to
mourn the loss of kind and devoted
husband and father. The children

Gave Pleasing Concert.

The Hjort Trio gave . pleasing con-
cert to large and apprectative audi
once at the Seminary hall last Satur.
day evening. The program contained
several we'll known numbers such a.
ely Forth, My Song" by Abt, and
"solveig's song,' by Greig, and they
were interpreted by the trio in a splen-
did manner. Their voices, tho not,
strong, still possess that sweetness
and fexibility which is 90 pleasing
to the ear and which denotes long and
careful training as we'll as naturul
talent. The solo work of the differ.
ent members was good and the read
ings given by Miss Clara Larson a.
80 proved very enjoy able. Miss AL
vilde Bj6rn, the pianist, delighted the
audience by her excellent rendition OF
Rubinstefn's beautiful composition,
"Kamennoi.O Ostrow." In spite of her
youth Miss Bjorn has acquired an un-
usual technique and touch and we Q.
dict for her q brilliant musical career.
The students and Z few of their
friends rendered the visiting ladies an
informal reception at the conclusion
of the program in the Seminary bust
ness room. The Seminary band was
present and furnished the music for a
couple Of grand marches, after which
games Of different kinds were indulged
in till a late hour.
The Hjort Trio also gave concert
at the Lutheran Synod church on Sun
day evening and An audience which
taxed the seating capacity of that spa
ctous ediice was present. The pro-
gram was a sacred one and every
number was listened to with marked
attention. The song by the trio, II
Waited For the Lord,' WAS especial
ly beautiful, and the famous Lutheran
h1mp, "Vor Gud Han or Saa Fast
en- Borg" played by Miss Bjorn, was
also worthy of special mention.

A Sad Death.

Last Friday, in the township Of Ir-
wing, occurred the death of Mrs. P.
W. Fredrickson, At the age of 81
yeare. Death was due to blood poi
soning brought about thru the effects
OF childbirth. Deceased was sick. on
II few days, but il spite Of tie best
efforts on the part of the attending
physician she rapidly failed and final
ly the cruel reaper, Death, came and
removed her from the midst of her
loved ones.
The funeral took place on Sunday
afternoon. Short services were held
at the house, after which the funeral
sermon was preached at the Harrison
Presbyterian church, Rev. Drysdale

10 noet anu informed MIN In regard to
the stranger and his peculiar actions
The result was that the stranger was
taken to the Office of the sheriff and
as he showed signs OF violence he was
later removed to the county Jail where
he was confined till in the afternoon.
One OF the things tina: brought the Of
ticials to the Conclusion that they had
to do with an insane person was the
fact that the man carried sack in
which was found dirty rags, scraps of
valueless papers, pieces Of ropes,
empty tin cans, It, etc which he had
apparently gathered up while on his
way to this city.
Acting upon the scanty inform alton
secured from the strssger, Bonde
'phoned to Grove City asking whether
one Ole Dyrhaug had his homo in
that vicinity. He received reply in
the Affirmative and he was further
more told that q man would be sent
from Grove City to take him back to
his home. This was rendered un-
necessary, however, by the arrival
of MIR. Dyrhaug's wife who came here
by team from their home south OF
Grove City. She said that her hus-
band had left home early Monday
morning and that she had been look.
ing for him ever since. The story she
had to tell was most sad and pathetic
one. Her husbands mind had been
affected ever since a log fell on his
head 80 years ago and he had twice
been committed to the hospital for in
sane at Fergus Falls. The last time
was six years ago when he remained
at the hospital for about one year,
after which he was discharged as
partially curedJ Since that time she
has cared for him with = patience,
tenderness and faithfulness that seems
almost incredible. Oftentimes her
husband would become violent and
it had become necessary to supply the
doors and windows leading to his
room with heavy iron bars to prevent
him from getting away and from DEAL
Ing harm to himself or others. He
was also subject to epileptic fits,
which would occur from one to twenty
times . day, and the only ones present
to give him the proper care at such
times were herself and q sister in law.
In spite of her husbands unfortunate
condition and tie fact that he had
caused her so much worry and hard
work she etill seemed deeply affection
ate toward him and when told that it
had been decided to have him removed
to the insane asylum she sobbed as If
her heart would break. The parting
scene In the Office OF the judge of pro.
bate was most touching and one that
will not soon be forgotten by those
who witnessed 1t. Another thing
which added much to the gloominess
of the situation was that in the course
of the examination the poor man was
seized with q severe epileptic fit during
which two men had all they could
do to handle him. At the hospital he
will receive the best of care, but on
account of his advanced age Che is
about 10 years old), it is hardly prob
able that he will ever become per-
manently cured.

 Some method should be devised and a pressure brought to bear in the proper place 10 have a readjustmeut of licenses in Alaska. In many instances the It. ceuse law is very unjust.

One case in point is the Seward Electric Company, This concern is forced to pay out $500 per anuum for the privi ege of furnishing the town with lights.
