Badly Injured.

Tuesday of last week, while work
ing with threshing outfit. Vim.
Brause. Jr., met with painful and
serious accident. He was on the side
of the machine where the dust was
thick and noticing some refuse ON the
heavy betting which operates the
machinery he thought he would remove
it by using his pltchfork. In so do
ing the center tine of the fork was
caught in the belt and the handle was
driven with gre at force into the young
mans stomach. The force of the
blow carried him off his feet and
landed him some ten feet away. He
is still in critical condition, being
unable to take nourishment and is
in constant agony. His stomach is
greatly swollen and it is believed he
is injured internally. -Elgin Echo.

not rally for several hours and still

Raising Tobacco.

There is an unusually large amount
of tobacco being grown east Of this
city this season. Those who are in
position to know say it is good crop
Most of the fields have been contracted
for So to l0c per pound. This tobac-
co will be put up and shipped to soma
other state. and some of it will, no
doubt, be returned TO the consumer
for a high grade tobacco. There is no
question about Iowa tobacco being a
good quality; it is also fact that the
weed produced here is bought and
shipped into other states. Is this
tobacco sold as an Iowa product? We
think not but are rather of the opinion
that it is placed on the market as the
product of some state when the crop
has been short. Iowa tobacco has not
the reputation of that produced by
other states and as a result is not in
as great demand by the consumer, but
we raise good tobacco and there is
no reason WHY buying station could
not be secured for our city. A few
years ago we had one here but as the
price ON tobacco fell way short of
expectations the people who had it
in charge discontinued the same.
Now that the market is coming back
we believe something could be done
to again have a buying station
established here. -Elgin Echo.

Too Many BIackbirds.

The excellent corn crop in the
vicinity of Bancroft, Ia, is threatened
with great damage unless the farmers
devise some means for keeping out of
their fields the pest of blackbird
robbers. So serious is the situation,
threatening fully one-half the crop on
some farms, that it is probable a
united effort will be made next spring
to burn out all the sloughs where the
blackbirds make their nests and hatch
their young. 1t is said that several
farmers north of here have decided to
station two or three farm bands in
their fields with shot guns TO kill
and scare the birds away. They
figure that the wages required to main
tain such guard will be a small part
of the saving made in protecting their
corn crops.

While at Aberdeen last week We
enjoyed meeting several old !Eis'Ai>
and some new ones. Among tht
former were Judge Campbell, Her
man Ellerman, Geo. B. DAILY, PTeSa'
dent Nash, Miss Nash and contractor
Birdseye, and among the new ol'es'
none won our hearty appreciation 81
much as Isaac Lincoln, a banker and
the most extensive farmer in the
county. He is farming 1900 acres,
and spares no money TO secure Il1f
best results for the benefit Of his Tel
low farmers. His 1860 acres cualsta-
tute his farm and stock ranch coal>
bined and he works just as hard IS
any man in the county. He is 4 GEN
ial gentleman, big hearted and pue-
lie spirited, but unfortunately. for
some beautiful woman, he is a bache-
Tor. but as he is a firm friend OF PreSl-
Roosevelt. there is yet hope that
asa EBAY do his duty. Mr.. Lincoln
rendered the Lincoln county corn
s,wA,srS valuable assistance during
lh1s5r work At the court house. and
aaiH-4sas,5 those baskets OF corn n a
R5pslr manner. After the close of
tine contest he drove Nj. Bremen and
the writer out TO the Normal school
where We enjoyed a full hour going
over the various buildings under the
leadership of President Nash. 1t
was one of the most interesting
hours We ever enjoyed for many a
day. To be brief. for the present at
least, we desire to congratulate the
board of regents and the education
al interests centered in the Aberdeen
Normal over the selection of its
President. There may be many able
men connected with other education
al institutions, but there are none
better qualified for the work than
President Nash. After the visit we
returned to the city, and after sup
per we enjoyed the pioneer stories OF
Mr.. DAILY and Mr.. Lincoln after eros
sing the Red river of the north when
Dakota was beginning to grow. 1t
was midnight when Mr.. Lincoln
left, but we got his promise to be a
Canton visitor when the Lincoln
county corn contest is held.

Death OF Mrs. svend Thorson.

Grandma Thorson, who suffered ;
stroke Of paralysis about three weeks

to sleep at $50 p. m. November %
1905.
Over half a century ago this Crane
old mother landed In Quebec ano
came west with her husband, locating
In Fayette Co., Ia, where they bought
government land and from there
moved to McGregor where they lived
during the war. Mr.. Thorson hao
heard much or the famous Sioux
Valley from his friends Ole and Hal
o Nelson, and he concluded to cross
the state which he did In 1871, locat'
ing upon the beautiful farm across
the river where he passed away IN
April 1902, at the age of 81.

Now his aged and beloved help
mate for nearly sixty years, follows
in the same path we all must follow,
and life-hope finds consolation In a
blessed and heavenly reunion beyond
the grave. For SO years this grand
old couple had journeyed through life
together, then the union was severed
by the death of her devoted husband,
and now at the age of 81 she follows,
and it seemed as II she was actually
asleep in life as she lay in her floral
covered casket with loved ones and
friends passing for a last goodbye.
There was no sign OF suffering visible
and the features looked as If she had
had a beautiful vision of the world
beyond as she closed her eyes In this
life to enter upon the new and better
one beyond.
The most beautiful and sublime
thing in this life is the living hope
of the life TO come in fulfillment OF
that glorious promise and none had
greater faith than Grandma Thorson.
She was an earnest and sincere chris
tian and q member Of the Lutheran
church. She vas gentle and kind to
all, and lovingly SO to those around
her, and her chief ambition in life
was to make happy the daily life OF
children and friends, and OF late
years she enjoyed nothing SO much
as the regular Sunday visits OF hel
sons Thomas and Sam Of this city.
About three weeks ago she was
stricken with paralysis, and hope
was strong that her sturdy constitu'
tion would carry her successfully
through the ordeal, but it was not tt
be 50. She fingered along withou,
bodily pain, but her vocal organs
were powerless, and she smiled her
acknowledgement Of everything done
for her comfort. At her bedside
when the end came were all her chill
dren, with the exception of Mrs
Goetz OF Sioux City, who had just
gone home from a visit with thai
dear OLD mOCh0r
The funeral took place last Sunday
afternoon from the old home over II
