How many people IN Grant county
are aware that the late Chief Justice
Orsonues Cole, Of the supreme court
of Wisconsin, was an early resident
of Potosi. He practiced law here in
the early forties and the law firm of
Cole and Biddlecome was we'll known

chairman of the town board of
supervisors when the township was
organized He was a resident here
when chosen a delegate to the first
constitutional state convention, and
also when elected to the thirty first
.. S. Congress, and subsequently to
the supreme bench. There are several
of us here who we're boys then who
we'll remember him.

speedy recovery.
Joseph OFT arrived home from

prominent physicians adopted the home
open air treatment, with proper
dieting has fully recovered from the
effects of the dread disease. He came
home Saturday from Yankton South
Dakota, where he had been for the
past three months looking we'll and
heartily. He will spend the holidays

ADVISES CAUTION
TO PREVENT DISEASE
Principal F. w. Trainer, of High School,
Offers Valuable Suggestions to
Parents Concerning Pupils.
Lancaster, Wis. Dec. 5, 1910

!
Editor Herald -
AS this is the time of the year when
the first contagious diseases appear, it
seems to me that If the local papers
would say few words of caution to
the people, considerable illness could
be prevented. l speak largely from
the standpoint of the principals con-
Germ for the welfare of the school
children. While we have had no
cases in school yet. if the parents were
cautioned to watch all the little all
ments of their children and send for
competent advice at once, there would
be far less danger than there has been
in the past. All the parents have a
right to expect as much from every
other parent, for it Is undeniable that
there can be a great spread cf disease
if any parent is neglectful. l shall
quote few sentences from the bulletin
of the State Board of Health on the
subject.
In many instances children attend
school before the danger of spreading
the disease is past AS result, they
are the innocent carriers of whatever
disease they have, to other children.
Many parents are exceedingly care
less regarding the health of their
children and overlook practically
everything unless attended by such
severe symptoms as to cause alarm. 1t
| is the exceptional parent that isolates
every case Of sore throat IN his family
until satisfied it is not diphtheria,
while it is the usual custom to regard
every throat affection as of no con
sequence until marked evidence of
severe illness comes ON. For this
reason mild case of diphtheria may
go absolutely unquarantined and
practically untreated throughout its
entire course, all the while spreading
the contagion. The same is also true
of smallpox, scarlet fever, chicken
pox, and measles, Whatever measures
are necessary to prevent the spread of
contagious diseases in the schools must
be stringent enough to reach the most
careless or ignorant parent of the
school. -
We do as much as we can to prevent
the spread in the school but unless we
have the cooperation of the parents
we can do nothing. If at any time
there seems to be need of sending the
children home because of illness the
parents should take particular pains
to see that nothing serious is the
trouble, and to see that the other
children in the family are isolated
from the i'll child, and that they are
kept out of school until physician
has pronounced 1t safe to send them
back.
Whatever is advised here is only
for the sake uf the greater number
and applies to every parent with
equal force. If you can find room
for few remarks to the above effect
I am sure that it is only within the
province of the newspaper to guard
the people against sickness.
Thanking you for your kindness
and courtesy in the past, I am,
Very respectfully,
F. W. TRAINER.

SUCCESSFUL FLIGHT IS MADE.
Chase.Gouveneur AeropIane Saticfac-
torlIy Demonstrated at Wrights-
willie Beach Yesterday Afternoon
Second In State.
Wilmington Star, 18th,

Wilmington Star, 18th,
The first flight in North Carolina
OF q heavier-than-air machine since
the famous Wright Brothers con-
cluded their successful experiments at
Kitty Hawk, n. C., in 1907, was
made yesterday afternoon at l
O'Clock at Wrightsville Beach by Mr..
HIM. Chase in an aeroplane which he
and Mr.. +. Ii. GOuverneur have been
building for the past several months
at Shell Island, about two miles
below the Hotel barrymore.
The machine is OF an entirely new
type from any OF those heretofore
built and is the invention OF Messrs.
Chase and Gouverneur, who were
assisted in the construction by Mr..
John l.. Grafflin, machanician, and
Mr.. Hodges, an expert wood worker.
1t is equipped with 40 horsepower
gasoline engine and the flights yester-
day afternoon by Mr.. Chase, while OF
no great distance or altitude, are
said to have demonstrated fully the
practicability of the invention. Long
flights will not be attempted until
the driver has fully acquainted him
self with the machine and has gained
by experience the requisite pOise and
equilibrium while at the wheel. The
flight was witnessed only by the
gentlemen interested in Intervention
but later, it is understood, public
exhibition will begiven. The machine
was taken out OF the shops yesterday
morning and when the tide had re-
coded sufficiently, the aeroplane was
run along the beach for some dis
lance until it gradually rose in flight
to height of about five feet and
continued for some little distance,
Just enough, of course, to demon
strate its ability to fly. 1t is the
first flight in North Carolina OF an
aerOpIane since the experiments OF
the Wright Brothers and the first
doubtless OF machine owned and
built in North Carolina and perhaps
in the South.
The inventors and owners are ex-
tremely modest in speaking OF their
achievements but later it is hoped to
give more detailed description of
the machine and it's performances
the utmost secrecy having been
maintained until now as to its con-
struction and accomplishments.

FARMERS LOST
WILL FOUND
Turns Up at Public Sale of
His Property.
BIG ESTATE FOR NIECE
Other Relatives and Old Employees Re-
membered-LegaI Contest Likely t.
Follow.

Discovery of the long lost will of the
late Schuyler Rainear. the rich and &C.
centric old farmer of Florence town
ship, near Burlington, n. j., gave TO
mantle turn to the fight of the heirs
of the big estate.
The discovery of the will at the
height of the public sale of Rainear's
property, ordered by an administrator,
created the greatest excitement among
the crowds of farmers and townspeO-
pie, gathered for the venGue. The sale
was at its height when Harry Bishop,
inspecting RaInears old market wag
On. which he had just purchased for
81, found an old book stuffed between
the ribs and canvas of the wagon
cover.
"Rainear's customer book" said Mr..
Bishop to his companion, and idly
turned the closely scrubbed leaves. A
paper fell from between the leaves and
futtered to the ground. Bishop picked
it up, read few lines, and with a cry
of The will The will" dashed for
the house, where the lawyers in charge
Bishop turned over the paper to At
torney Robert S. Gaskill, who, with
Senator G. w. Lewis. was named ad-
ministratoTs of the estate by the court.
Oddly enough, the old will was found
to have named Gaskill as one of the
executors. The other is Lambert Rain
ear, Jr., a brother, now dead.
Of bn will oil
to the crowd, to whom it furnished
sensation, fitting well with the man
ner in which Rainear has kept in the
public eye since two years ago this
month the little iron safe in which he
kept as high as $4,000 in gold was
robbed by daylight burglar who es-
capped, but was captured in Chicago
after neighbor had been arrested and
falsely accused of the crime.
The will was dated April %, 1909,
and, as far as could be learned, it is
signed by but one witness, Lambert
Rainear, whose death occurred four
months after the date of the docu-
ment.
Lawyers admit the finding Of the
Will OpSuS IIIc way 1OI d DlS legal
fight, as it has little in common with
the division as now arranged among
the direct and indirect heirs. To sew
eral nieces it leaves $4,000 each. To
Jane Nixon, Rainear's aged housekeep-
er, and to Samuel Richardson, his
ninety-twO-year-old farm helper, Is
given $1,000 each. The most pathetic
feature of the Wills discovery was its
announcement to these old people,
who have virtually spent their lives
on the Rainear farm, but were to be
moved out almost penniless this week,
by order of the heirs. The residuary
legatee is a Mrs. Foulkes, a niece,
whose home is in Florence, and her
share, if the will is carried out, it is
said will be over $125,OOO

WIDOW MAY FOLLOW
TOLSTOI IN DEATH
Breaks Down as Aged Author
Passes Away.

With her husband lying dead in the
bare room of railroad flag station
at Astopova, Russia, the condition
OF Countess Tolstoi rapidly grew
worse, and physicians who have been
attending her and the aged count be-
came seriously alarmed for her life.
After a desperate entreaty of the
physicians for the privilege of seeing
her husband alive once more, the
countess was allowed to be present at
the death of the author and social re-
former, which occurred on Saturday.
She collapsed Immediately after Toll
stoi's last spark of life tiickered out
1t is understood that the body will
be taken back to the village of Vas
maya Polyana. where he was born and
where he spent his youth. 1t is be-
lieVed that his known wishes in regard
to his funeral will be obeyed.
Whatever the form, however, which
consigns the great seeker for truth to
his last resting place, the ceremonies
will undoubtedly be witnessed by a
gathering of the greatest men of Rus
sia. Though he died without making
his peace with the church, from which
he had been communicated, the
great Russian writer is sure to be
honored in death, even as in life, by
superior intelleCts.
Count Tolstoi died without regaining
sufficient consciousness to enable him
to say farewell or cast a loving look
upon his wife and children.
His last words were: There are
millions of people and many sufferers
In the world. Why always anxious
about me?"

| Charlotte Observer.
Mr.. W. S. Lee, vice-president and
general manager Of the Southern
Power Company, who has been
abroad for the past several months
inspecting the great hydro-electric
plants of Norway, Sweden, Austria
and France, has returned to the city.
Asked Yesterday about his trip
and what he had learned in the way
of manufacturing fertilizer from the
atmosphere by electo-chemical pro-
cesses as employed On the continent,
Mr.. Lee responded that he had en-
joyed his stay abroad immensely and
had seen and learned much in the d.
rection OF the scheme which the
Southern Power Company has under
way which will result in the revolu-
ton OF agricultural methods OF this
country.
Mr.. Lee brought back with him a
number OF specimens OF the various
products Of the great Norwegian and
Austrian plants that are now en-
gagged in the manufacture of fertlli-
ger from the air. He said that the
processes are commercially feasible
as evidenced by the carloads OF stuff
that are being shipped from the va
rious factories to all parts OF the
continent for agricultural uses. Ex-
pariments conducted and lasting
throughout a period OF years have
shown that the fertilizer made from
the atmosphere is just as productive
and useful as that found in nature.
While the great problem has been
solved to large extent, Mr.. Lee adds
that there is much work yet to be
done in the way OF perfecting and
cheapening the process. 1t can only
be carried out successfully where
there is an abundance OF cheap, sur
plus power.
In Norway fertilizer from the at
mosphere has been an achievement
of seven years standing, vast ad
vances being made in the processes
in that time. There has been a 49,
600 horsepower plant in operation
and two more are now under con-
struction. One of these is a Is. 900
horsepower plant and the other is a
IAO,OOO -pOWc1 pICtHS uO IchS-
ter when finished will be one of the
modern marvels of human achieve
ment. Estimates of output are based
on one ton per horsepower per year
The Observer has previously refer
red to the fact that the Southern
Power Company has purchased the
machinery necessary to build and
equip a 1000 horsepower plant at
Great Falls, S. c. Much OF this ma
chinery was secured abroad and has
already been finished. 1t is the ex-
pectation of those in charge to have
the work on this plant begun by the
first of the year. This factory will
be for experimental and perfecting
purposes largely. The Southern Pow
er Company owns two secret electro
chemical processes whereby the nitro
gen Of the atmosphere may be e1-
tracted from the atmosphere and
saved and it is the purpose OF the
company to perfect one or both of
the processes. Later 10000 horse
power plant will be erected at Great
Falls.

Lure of the Aeroplane.
Milwaukee Wisconsin.

milwaukee, " lScOnSln.
Twenty-six aviatQrs have lost their
lives during the past twelve months,
but plenty are rushing forward to
take their places. Why? There are
various reasons. One reason is the
strong appeal which the possibility
OF flying makes to the Imagination.
There is also the applause OF the
multitude-that elusive thing called
fame, which many a man, especially
many a young man, regards as more
to be priced even than life itself. More
over, the risk OF navigating the air
in modern machine does not seem
so great to those whose interest in
the new art OF aviation is fully
aroused as it does to cautious, mid
dle-aged and elderly people who have
not made special study of the ma
chimes, noticing the principles in
vOlved in their construction, and
watching them in actual flight.
Most OF the fatalities have been
due to accidents which might have
been avOided-to the breaking in
mldair OF some part Of the machine
That was how Chavez met his death
on the field OF victory-the wings OF
the machine gave way, precipitating
him distance OF 80 feet to the
ground, after he had accomplished
the marvellous performance of cross
ing the Alps. While 26 daring avia-
tors, owing to one accident or
another, have been killed, more than
that number have met with mishaps
in the air, yet have escaped with
slight hurts or altogether unframed
These things give heart to the en-
thusiasts engaged in the iearsome
business OF aviation.
