err, who resides about one and one.balf
miles from Lenora, met with serious
accident last Sunday. While returning
in his boat from Cusick, where he had
been for several days, one of the oars
broke and his boat drifted with the cur-
rent as far as Browns. The Brown
brothers fortunately noticed the boat
with its helpless occupant and went to
his rescue. When found he was in y
stupor and lying in the bottom of the
boat. 1t is probable he had been there
several hours. The unfortunate man
was removed to the Brown residence
where it was discovered that both feet
were badly frozen. He was hastily re-
moved to his home by the Browns, and
everything possible was done by his
wife and neighbors to make him as COM
Portable as possible. Late reports are to
the effect that the amputation of one OF
his feet and possibly of both may be
necessary. Schultzie is an elderly man
and formerly resided in Cusick, where
he conducted saloon.

lowed to depart, but the door or
doors or openings of any kind must
be closed.

we or any of us keep open or open
our said places of business contrary
to the terms and conditions of this
agreement, then the owner of such

Arrangements are about completed
by Mr.. Hebron to pull off the proposed
wrestling match between Joe Heinrich
the 10 pound champion of the Pacific
Northwest and Earl Rusho the Newport
strong boy. Heinrich agreeing to throw
Rusho three falls in one hour actual
wrestling time. This is a match that
should delight the fans, as Heinrich is
exceptionally aggressive and fast: and
Rusho who weighs 2lO pounds is a
natural athlete and a wrestler of no
mean ability, though lacking the ex-
perience of his lighter and more apile
opponent. Those who patronize the
match will get whole lot of excite.
ment for their money, as clean sport is
guaranteed by the management. The
bout will be pulled off in Newport some
time next week. The management is
looking up material for preliminary
nnder ametuer rules.

That the life Of the farmer Is not
dreary waste of labor is pointed out by
the Boston Transcript, which attempts
to disprove that the farmer is needing
pity. This is the way our city eontem-
porary sizes up the situation; Anybody
who thinks the farmers OF New England
are living in solitude, out of touch with
the great world and Indifferent to the
advantages of organization, is destined
to a rude awakening if ne subjects his
impression to the test of fair. minded
inquiry. Much pity is patronizingly be-
slowed on the farmers, who resent it
and reject it. Their winters are said
to be depressing, whereas that season
is in reality the period of their social
gaieties, grange suppers, neighborhood
seighrides, festivities within tae reach
of moderate purses and moderate desires.
Taken as whole, the farmers lot is
not an unhappy one, any more than that
of the hired man."

of tuberculosis can be judged by the in
ternational tuberculosis congress, which
has been in session at the national capt
tai for the past few days with represen-
tatives present from thirty foreign coun-
tries, together with many of the leaders
of the anti-tuberculosis crusade in the
United States. The presence of delega.
tions from so many and so widely spread
sections indicates that the whole civilized

of stamping out the disease. BY this

consequent adoption of the best methods
of attack, we snail be assured of the
best results possible.
