ARTHUR HoRR DIES FROM INJURIES

ARTHUR H0RR DIES FROM INJURIES
Received While csupliat Cars In Yards IL h
City neaday Afternoon. Passes Away Hees
Renville While o. Way u nsspitala at Cisies.
Art Horr of Wilmot met with
q serious accident while coupling
cars in the yards in this city last
Monday afternoon, and died
while on the way to a hospital il
the cities.
Mr.. Horr was brakeing on the
branch for George Lewis whe
laid off last week on account Of
the death of his father. The
Sisseton train had just arrived,
and after uncoupling the coaches
at the depot the crew began their
switching. They were to couple
onto q couple of cars on the side
track near J. D. Burkhardt'e
coal shed and Mr.. Horr was on
the moving cars. Running t.
the end of the car and signalling
the engineer to back up he step
ped in between the cars to work
the coupling. The coupling did
not catch and Conductor Gin
clair ran Ito the two cars that
were going down the track and
frightened the brakes. On going
to the end of the car he saw tho
brakeman lying on the ground
on the south side of the track.
Mr.. Cinclair ran to him and pick
ing him up asked him how it
happened to which the injured
man replied he didn't know.
When he gave the signal 10 back
up he was on the north side Of
the track. In some manner Mr..
Horr gotbetween the bumpers Of
the two freight cars and was
badly crushed about the right
hip, and internally. He was i'm.
mediately taken to DR.. Fergu.
sons cffice where everything
possible was done, but owing q
the seriousness of the injury il
was deemed best to try and get
him to hospital in the cities.
He was bleeding badly from tho
injury and was also suffering
loss of blood from internal
hemorrhages.
An extra with two or three
cars and a caboose was made up
and Mr.. Horr was placed in the
caboose. With a clearance to
Montevideo the train left at ten
minutes past eight. They ar.
rived at Montevideo at about
half past nine where a quick
change of crew and engine was
made and the race against death
was again taken up DR.. Fergu-
son and Druggist N. F. Nelson
accompanied Mr.. Horr. How.
ever the tri p was in vain, as the
injured man died near Renville.
The remains were taken to Min
neapolis. Mrs. Horr was Motif.
ed at her home in Wilmot and
she droye to this city going east
on the midnight passenger.
Deceased was II young maa
about % years Of age and had
been married about four years,
the widow being n daughter Of
S. NJ. Harper, now living at
South Shore. During part Of
the winter they had made their
home in this city and but q few
weeks ago moved back to Viii.
mot, their former home. Sor-
row is expressed by everyone
over the sad affair and the rela-
tives have the sympathy of tho
&C immunity in their afl iction.
Mr.. Horr went to Roberts county
with his parents when a small
boy, and had lived at or near
Wilmot since. He was born at
Renville, MINI uear which
town he died Will. on the train
to the cities. He h I'd worked for

as we have been able to find out
what in the world he is trying to
do) in his campaign in Harper's Ba-
Ear to reform the careless speech
of American women. Not that our
fellow-countryman expatriated will
ever make any great progress. Not
even q lyoman's intuition could
strike through the wilderness of
words with which he has clouded
his cause. But Mr.. John d. Barry,
who has followed him, and the still
palmer commentators on what Mr..
James has written, may do some
good, and we of The Times want to
help if we can.
For our share we print the fore
going horrible examples. And throw
in as good measure the suggestion
that if the refOrmers are in earnest
and hope actually to get along, they
will emphasize the charm of good
English well spoken and say mighty
little about its correctness.

Hope for the Lobster.

Better days ahead for the lobster.
The great high priest of lobster
dom, Fish Commissioner Bowers, is
leaving Washington'in a few days TO
see what can be done in the way of
encouraging the delicious crusta-
cean To prolong his race and genera
ton.
In other words, Mr.. Bowers pro-
poses TO establish lobster pounds in
Massachusetts, in which the young
shellfsh may disport themselves
and grow to a respectable man
hood, secure from the ravages of
dogfish or of the men with lobster
pots. Cape Cod is said TO be the
particular point of Commissioner
Bowers attention, for there are
there a great number of natural
ponds in the sand dunes where the
youthful Holsters may be imprisoned
and reared.
II is good to know that no Con-
gressional authority is necessary
for this work along the lines of sal
walton for the lobster. The Fisher
les Bureau has ample powers to go
ahead with the purchase of lobster
fry and put them in places neces-
sary for their safety. Something
of this sort Is absolutely demanded
or the lobster will become extinct.
This is no cry of wolf, wolf" or
lobster, lobster" but a non-exag-
gerated statement of the case as
agreed upon by all those who make
this particularly dainty dweller OF
the sea a study.

Rightly Rebuked.

Some members of a Congrega-
tional Church il the town of Mano-
met, near Plymouth, Mass, received
a specimen judicial denunciation
the other day that they truly de-
served. There had been complaints,
it seems, against a number of small
boys who, it was alleged, broke into
their church on the glorious night
before" and committed serious dep
relations. a committee waited upon
the chief of police and gave him
the names of several boys whom
they suspected Of being concerned
in the affair.
Then, when court day arrived on
Monday, the compliments were con-
spicuous by their absence. In other
words, they failed to back up their
charges by any evidence they may
have had to produce.
Not only were the boys dismissed,
but their accuseTs were roundly
criticized by the court as being 'in
compromise with crime" IF the
church is a party to such an affair
as this" said the judge-meaning
that the committee had consented
to a cash payment for damages-''it
can't complain of lack of respect by
the public at large" True as gos-
pei.
1t is an easy matter to charge
people with disOrderly offenses.
Citizens who dislike either the trou-
bic or the notoriety of appearing in
court often find it agreeable to shirk
the obligations of their complaints
In such cases they are little better
than the offenders themselves.

AS Woman Speaks.

English is never so musical as
when spoken by an American woman
who has kept her culture alive. Not
her femininity alone, but the melli-
fuousness of her tones, the delicate
movement of her lips, the limpid
flow of sound, divided daintily so
that monotony is ever an utter
stranger-these are the things that
make her speech music to Mere
Man.
Now, if there be one of our Wash
ington women whose English lacks
these qualities there are too many.
Probably there isn't one. But now
and then it would seem, as one lis
tens slyly on the street cars or hears
light talk from the fair work
woman in the elevator, that occa-
sionally, at very rare intervals,
there can be found a woman who
grows careless now and then. May
be this is overstating the case, but
it would seem to be true.
At any rate, feminine America
here in the Capital has been known
to say ''w'en," and ''w'ether,' gen.
tuI'' and "nessul," 'beeng" for
"being" and "cryng" for crying; "
"dotter" for her own proud title of
daughter; "cott" for coat" and
much else just short of "ain't."
Masculine America says worse than
all that, of course, but masculine
America can say a great deal worse
and still not fall so far.
So we are glad to give our APP
prevail to Mr.. Henry James (as far
