Auto Accident Near waucoma.

James Whetherbee, Jr., and Joseph
Edmund had an auto accident yes
terday afternoon which resulted seri-
ously for Mr.. Wetherbee, who had
two or three ribs broken near the
backbone They were about half
way from st. Lucas to Waucoma, Mr.
Wetherbee hauling Mr. Edmund and
a trunk of cigars in his auto livery
Just how it happened they do not
know, but probably Jim attempted
to guide the car out of a rut. At
least, the car took sudden turn to
the left just as they reached cul-
vert, and went oft the culvert, drop
of perhaps eight feet, into two or
three feet of water. Rain was fall
ing at the time, and as the men had
the waterproof hoods outtoned
around them they could do little to
save themselves. When Joe picked
himself up he found the car on it's
side, but Jim nowhere to be seen.
He began feeling around in the wa
ter, got hold of Jim's feet, and pull
ed him out from under or partially
under the auto. Thus it appears that
had Joe been too badly hurt to give
immediate help Jim would have
drowned.-West Union Argo.

TRAGEDY NEAR PRESTON.
Gust BendicksOn Murders His Wife
and Commits Suicide When
About to be Arrested.

A shocking double tragedy, of
which brief mention was made in
these columns last week is given
more fully in the following from the
Preston Times:
Death stalked in all its horrors
out in the Scotland neighborhood,
about eight miles southeast of Pres
tom June 22d, and seven orphaned
children mourn the tragic ending of
q father and mother. Preston first
knew of it when Alex Mckay, a
neighbor, called the sheriff up by
telephone about 1880 a. m. saying
that Gust Bendickson had killed his
wife and to come quickly No time
was lost and Coroner Grinnells au-
to was brought into service convey
ing Sheriff Blexrud, Deputy Strom,
County Attorney Hopp and DR.. Grin
nell to the scene of the tragedy,
which soon proved to be a double
one.
"A Times reporter listened to the
story from several sources and we
will give it as briefly and correctly
as possible. The family arose and
breakfasted together much the same
as usual, the mother and children
afterwards going into a detached
summer kitchen to finish up the
mornings work, the father remain
ing in the house. After a time the
mother returned to the house and
shortly the report of a gun was
heard, and the father came out, tell
ing the children the gun had gone
off and forbidding them to go into
the house. Frightened, they sought
shelter in some other building. A
young son who was working in a
nearby corn field had also heard the
report of the gun and came to in
quire the cause, when Bendickson
shot at him once but missed. Alarm
ed he went to the home of Chas.
Mckay and soon he and his brother
Alex went to the house. On seeing
them approach, Bendickson grabbed
his gun and warned them to keep
away, retiring at the same time to a
high piece of ground where he could
see all who approached. The alarm
was now given, the authorities were
notified and the neighbors gathered.
On the arrival of the officers they at
once realized that they had to deal
with a desperate man, we'll armed,
and that caution was necessary.
Separate parties were formed and he
was surrounded on all sides, but they
never reached him as evidently see
ing that resistance would in the end
prove futile, he deliberately placed
the muzzel of his gun to his fore
head, falling backwards MORALLY
wounded. He lived perhaps half an
hour, but did not gain conscious
ness.
There were no eye witnesses to
the tragedy in the house. When
found, Mrs. Bendickson was seated
in a rocking chair in the center of
the room with bullet hole in her
right temple.
'No reason can be assigned for the
horrible tragedy except that Ben
dicson was insane. He was always
of somewhat retiring disposition
and mingled but little with his
neighbors.

Drunken Hobo Dangerous.

Just after dinner Wednesday, while
the freight train on the Great West
ern was waiting on the side track
for the passenger, drunken hobo
attempted to get aboard the freight
for the purpose of stealing ride;
the brakeman. w. E. Dillingham;,
ordered him away from the train
and the tramp turned and made a
stroke with his knife, catching the
victim just sbelow the elbow of the
right arm on the inside and cut ft
clear to the wrist. making terrible
wound all of eight inches long. The
wounded man was taken to DR.. Paul
E. Gardeners Office where with the
help of DR.. o. M. Landon the wound
was dressed 1t is not necessarily a
wound that will disable the young
man; but it is painful one which
will lay him up for some time.
The tramp made an attempt to get
away, but Mrs. C. G. Bigelow, who
saw the cutting done, telephoned
the sheriff and seeing the Mayor at
work on the street called him and he
with others gave chase and when
cornered by the Mayor he again put
up a fight but Fred Pettygrove COM
ing up behind him struck him on the
back of the head with a spade and
that appeared to take some of the
fight out of him and he was taken to
jail,-New Hampton Courier.

Raising Some Sugar Beets.

There are about 1000 acres of
sugar beets growing in Bremen coun-
ty for the sugar factory in Waverly.
In all, the factory has between
$500 and 5000 acres. About 500
acres will be delivered by wagon.
The rest will come on the railroads.
At this time the beets look all right
and promise an abundant crop. Man.
ager Rosevear says the field men
this summer are the best this facto-
ry ever had and they are doing salts
factory work. Many men, women
and children are busy in the beet
fields this week. Many farmers in
this neighborhood have learned by
experience that beet pulp is very VAL
liable for feeding purposes. We re-
ferred last week to the fact that J.
II. Leets OF Leets. Iowa, had con-
tracted with the Sugar Company to
feed 200 cattle on the pulp. If they
make satisfactory showing the first
month he will bring 800 more. He
will erect sheds on the company's
grounds, north of the factory. Those
who have fed the pulp tell us it is
worth as much as good corn en-
silage. All our people can we'll af-
ford to encourage the sugar industry
in Bremen county.--Waverly indie

A FABLE OF NIGERIA.
The Crafty Spider and the Way He
Paid His Debts.

Taio tbs OsptS.
The following fable of the spider IS
one of the folk tales of northern Nj
geria:
A spider, it seems, had occasion to
borrow a sum of money. A journey
round to the generously disposed
brought him 1000 cOwries each from
the cat, the dog, the hyena, the leopard
and the lion. When pay day came
round, the spider remained at home to
receive the visits of his creditors in
certain prearranged order. First came
the cat to claim repayment of his loan.
''Hush!' said the spider. Il hear a
noise outside. 1t is a dog come to see
me. You must hide under this Gala
bash for safety" The cat was sc3rce-
~ hidden when the dog, coming in.
made a similar request for his money.
Says Master Spider, There Is a cat
under that calabash. Take him and
consider the debt paid" No sooner
said than done. Just then a snuf1ing
and scraping were heard at the door
The third creditor, the hyena, had ar-
rived. Don't be alarmed, my dear
dog, but hide here till he has left"
And the spider hustled him under the
calabash. Il smell a dog" said the
hyena, routing about. Under that
calabash," the spider replied. Eat him
up, and your debt is paid" The dog
paid the penalty of his simplicity. and
all was quiet once more. The hyena
was preparing to leave, when he heard
an OminOus sound that sent him
crOuching against the wall It was the
pattering of the leopard's feet at the
door. Quick! Under this caIabasbY'
cries his host. and the hyena curls ND
in the fatal cache, only to meet a like
rate from his more courageous enemy.
My debt is repaid" said the leonard.
and ran against the lion coming in. A
terrible tight ensued, for the leonard
and the lion are equal in strength. so
the natives say. When blood and dust
make havoc in the house and both an
imals are exhausting their strength

Kidney Troubles May Be Sap

Smyrna People Have
Learned This Fact.

When a healthy man or woman
begins to run down without apparent
cause, becomes weak, languid, de-
pressed, suffers backache, headache,
dizzy spells and urinary disorders,
look to the kidneys for the cause of
it all. Keep the kidneys we'll and
they will keep you well. Doan's
Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and
keep them we'll. Here is Smyrna
testimony to prove it.
John M. Watson, Mt. Vernon St.,
Smyrna, Del, says: "About six
years ago l received a severe injury
and was not expected to recover.
However, l got we'll but from that
time on l was greatly troubled with
my kidneys. Any cold l contracted,
any change in the weather, or over
exertion would affect my back and
kidneys and my back would ache so
severely that l could hardly get
around. Since using one box of
DOan's Kidney Pills, which procured

Actions of One Player After a KicI, In
the Head.
Speaking of queer things in foot
ball, said an old player. Il recall n
game that was played at Annapolis
some years ago between Columbia and
the Naval academy teams.
"One of the men on the Columbia
team, the quarterback and a very
prominent player of the year. starred
the game Ill good condition. but after
part of the first half he was kicked in
the head in one scrimmage. Ii took
some time to get him around. but he
suddenly arose and gave a signal The
TWO teams lined up and play went
right on.
This man went through the game,
and no one noticed that anything was
wrong with him. When the game was
over and the Columbia team was on
the way back to New York in the train
this player, who had appeared to be in
a brown study, suddenly turned to the
man next to him and asked. Who won
the game-what was the scorer and
a number of other questions that made
it seem as If he hadn't been anywhere
near the field of play.
THE players were greatly surprised
and thought perhaps the kick in the
head had hurt the man so that his
mind was affected. Later they learned
that he was unable to tell what hap
pened from the moment he got the
kick in the head until the time he re-
covered consciousness, so to speak. on
the train.
His playing of quarterback and his
giving of signals had been entirely au-
tomato, or, rather. subconscious. That
case was referred to frequently In the
psychology courses at Columbia. you
