The closing temperance rally at the
court house last Sunday evening was
a magnificent testimonial to the
cause. President Tuve Of Augustana
presided and the college choir under
the direction Of Prof. Quale furnished
the music. County Superintendent
Lawrence made the opening address
and 1t was ayood one. It was the
best speech he ever made and very
convincing argument against the sa-
loon traffic. Prof. Lawrence told q
story about a snake catcher in Ten
nessee that made many q heart beat
fast as he related the climax. He
was followed by J. T. Hansen OF
Chraft 3 Hansen. He spoke from the
experience Of business man and
demonstrated beyond question that
the saloon is detriment to legiti-
mate business. Rev. w. Alfred Cave
closed the speaking part OF the pro-
gram and he spoke plainly and earn
estly on the question. His address
was a hasterly argument in favor OF
Temperance and morality and aroused
a deep interest In that big audience.

DEATH OF FRANK HERMAN.
Horribly Burned He Walked te
a NeighbOr's House With
Flesh Dropping From
the Bones.

Frank Herman OF Beloit, Iowa,
went up to his farm in Beadle county
near Broadland, about the middle of
March and began active work to pre-
pare a home for his wife and children
who remained in Beloit. He was an
energetic worker and had been quite
successful and was anticipating sue
cess in his new home. He had some
thirty head of cattle and ten head Of
horses with him, and had built a tenn
porary stable for his horses with lum-
ber on the ground for large barn
and stable.
A prairie fire came down from the
north suddenly on Sunday April II,
about noon, and Frank, to protect
his property, hitched four horses to a
breaking plow and began plowing. He
saw that he could not head off the
fire and left his breaking team hitched
to the plow and ran to his tempo
rary stable structure to release six
head of horses confined there. The
rafters were covered with hay which
caught fire. quickly and during his eff
forts to release the horses his cloth
ing caught fire. Ke escaped from the
fire and walked to a pond Of water
300 feet distant and rolled in the
water The torture of that walk must
have been terrible, as his clothing
burned while he walked. His ears
were burned off, part of his nose was
gone, his arms burned to the bone, and
after getting out of the pond walked
to nelghbor's farm house, quite a
distance, with only few rags stick
ing to the roasted flesh. That death
walk mist have been horrible. Half
dead and covered with flesh dropping
from the bones he reached shelter.
The men of the house were all out
fighting fire, but noble hearted
woman took care Of the human skele-
ton and put him to bed. One of the
men soon returned and cut the rags
from the body and a doctor was sum-
moned from Woolsey.
His suffering was relieved as far as
possible and he feed the end with
courage.
Poor Frank was relieved from tor
ture at O'Clock Friday morning.
His body was placed in casket and
brought to Canton last Sunday accom-
panied by his father and brother. His
wife, who reached him on Tuesday,
accompanied by her father, returned
Saturday.
Frank Herman, was a splendid
man, in the prime of life, aged 36
He was member of the Canton Odd
Fellow lodge and Yeoman, In which
order he carried $4,000 insurance. He
leaves a wife and six children tc
mourn true and loving husband and
father.
His body was received by the Can
ton Odd Fellows and escorted to the
Beloit cemetery where he was buried
in the presence Of a large number Of
tSOrroWinp relatives and friends,

Get your corn ready as the corn
planting season will be on hand in less
than ten days. Don't wait till the
last moment to hunt seed or repair
machinery. Get everything ready
for rapid and good work. 1t is the
opinion of many that we are not go
ing to have any too much rain this
year, and all good farmers should be
prepared to meet such condition.
There is plenty of moisture in the
ground at a reasonable depth, but
the surface is drier this spring than
it has been for the past seven years.
All are expecting good crops this
year, but you need not expect good
crops unless you plant right and on
time

A Sensible Editor.

Crawford talk and upon his return an
nounced through his newspaper thai

From A Dayton Farmer.

"A pIll ~, lJuos
Editor Leader: l have at hand a
pamphlet entitled IA Direct Indict-
ment of Coe 1. Crawford" issued by
the so-called Roosevelt-Taft State
League, and Judging from the tone of
this Crawford Indictment one might
believe that Kittredge was about the
only Moses in the state and about the
only man who is fighting the railroads
and backing Roosevelt. Crawford is
pictured with cloven hoofs and other
! bad things. This kind Of a document
might do for poor ignorant people who
can't read, but for Dakotans, it is as
insulting as 1T is false.
l notice that some railroad heeler
goes back fifteen or twenty years, to
see how Crawford voted on various
railroad propositions at Bismarck.
We don t care how Crawford voted Is
or 20 years ago, but we do care how
he has worked and voted in the past
four or five years, and we find his re-
cord clear and in line with the de-
mands of the people.
Where is Kits record? What has
he done for the farmers Of this state!
What has he done for the laboring
man? Tell us you pamphlet makers.
have grown up in Dayton town
ship and have read the papers for
many years, and my recollection Is
that Kit has been all the time a rail-
road attorney and working against
the rights Of the people.
Crawford may have been a railroad
attorney but he was man enough to
surrender his job and lead a glorious
fight for the people against railroad
oppression and railroad robbery. This
alone entities him to the support OF
the farmers and business men. Craw-
ford early in the game recognized that
the railroads were oppressive and get
ting more SO as time went on. He
threw up his job with the Northwest
ern railroad several years ago and like
Roosevelt began great battle in be.
half of the people. The old Kittredge
railroad machine beat him in 1904
with free passes, free whisky and free
money and fraud. The gallant Craw.
ford took his defeat good naturedly
and, prepared to lead in the peoples
battle in 1906. That time the people
realized lac was right, that he was
honest, that he was fighting theil
fight and they rallied to his support
everywhere The old railroad crowd
with Kit and Martin and Burke as
leaders went down in defeat and the
people got on top the first time since
! statehood These few ideas came tx
mind after reading Kits pamphlet
and, in my Judgment they make :
mistake when they assail a mans re
cord made up from distorted false
hoods and read by eyes aflame with
revenge.
The Kittredge side Of the fight II
on the wrong side. He is against thu
people and the people know it. A
Thousand falsehoods won't convince
one honest farmer or laboring mar
that Kittredge is right and Crawfort
wrong. Crawford has proved hi
right to be called a champion of tn,
people, and the people will send hin
to the senate. A Farmer.

Boyhood's Happy Days.

Here is story Lewis Larson Of
Grant tells about boyhood's, happy
days.
Yes, Sir Boyhood's happy days, Of
course. We know about that. We
haven't forgotten the joy OF sleeping
in an unfinished loft in the winter
when our breath froze to the bedding
and we had to thaw us out with q hot
fiatiron every morning.
Morning too! We got up at IA. M,
pitch dark, "a below zero and still go
ing down. We had to get up, hustle
out and feed and milk the lowing
herd, curry the rear elevation OF the
family mule, wake the rooster up to
crow, thaw out the pump, chop four
cords Of wood and shovel away the
snow to make room for the sun to
rise.
Sometime we went to school In the
winter-not often, only on the days
when it was too cold and stormy to go
out doors. Then we sat on a nice
cool board about fifty feet away from
the stove and gayly blew our fingers
and picked icicles from our hair.
And as we sat we listened toa wood
en- image with a teachers's license as
he handed us misinformation and
permanently crippled our intelects.
Then came the merry springtime
Raise at 2:3O a. M. More lowing herd
the herd lowing to the supply OF fod-
der being low. Then the hired man.
who had hibernated In the forest,
came forth seeking whom he might
make happy with his presence. And
we, being in extra joy, were allowed
to sleep with this woolley hireliDg,
who snored like the boom Of the sad
sea waves. He was good fellow this
hired man. He taught us to chew
tobacco and swear. These gentle pas
times procured us more violent lick
ings than any other joy in our whole
young life.
No memory is more loaded with
JOY germ than the spring crop work
ing. Can we ever forget the plowing
how we held the plow when we had
to reach up with pike pole to get
the handles; how we drove the old
plug team with the lines around our
neck; how when the clevis broke the
mares walked away with our frail
body dragging behind by the earsi
When darkness came forth we stabbed
the plugs and went forth to milk the
brindle heifer. The heifer kicked us
across the barn floor, and an old COW
obligingly kicked us back again.
Then, when the milking was over,
what fun to run in and teach a fool
calf to drink! This acting as dry
nurse to handy legged calf was one
Of the most unmixed joys Of all. VIZ
tied the calf short, set the bucket in
front Of him, got astraddle Of his
neck, stuck two fingers in his mouth
and with the other hand jammed his
head into the pail. And all the time
we were emptying our abuse on calves
in general and this lop cared idiot
in particular. This went on until
dad came in and with loving patience
horsewhipped us all about the place,
Then when we carried in the wood
brought forty gallons of water from
the spring and eaten about eight
pounds Of solid food we went joyfully
upstairs -and came down again i'm.
mediately to breakfast.

Little Mcleod Of the Aberdeen
News is getting desperate over the
Huron convention, and swears by
Canada that the corporation crowd
won great victory at the March pri-
maries. Mac is getting batty. An
other such victory as Kit and Mac
won in March will retire them from
business and elevate them to the posi-
tion of gallery gods. The Roosevelt
republicans are highly gratified with
the corporation victory in March.
One more such victory and little
Mac will be headed for Canada.
