MRS. PRATT INJURED

LAST THURSDAY MORNING
to Get Away From Webster
Quite Seriously Injured
Her Hand In Closing
The Car Door

Last week A. Z. Pratt had accom-
panied his mother to Rochester, Mimi,
for consultation with the Doctors
Mayo. The doctors said that an oper-
alton in Mrs. Pratt's case would be of
no service and advised her to come
home and be as comfortable as possible
In getting on the train at St. Paul
instead of being piloted to the local
which stops at Webster, they were
sold tickets and sleeping car berths on
the limited. When the train reached
here Thursday morning Mr.. Pratt got
off and was assisting his mother to get
down when the train crew closed the
vestibule with a bang. Mrs. Pratt's
hand was caught in the door with such
force as to cut her kid glove and .hrep
of her fingers were very painfully
injured and it was necessary to call
DR.. p. D. Peabody to dress the hand.
The company should be compelled to
pay for such injuries and a train man,
of any other mar who would so rush
an old lady, should not be given posi-
ton where he could abuse them.

Hands Us a BOquet

The Day county folk are the right
sort, Owing to the crop shortage, the
attendance at the Day county fair last
fall was not up to the usual standard
and receipts dropped off so the direc-
tors when they canvassed the situation
concluded they would have to scale the
premiums 50 per cent. Did the pre-
MUM winners raise a howl and insist
upon being paid in full? Not on your
life, instead, many of them fastened
to assure the directors they would be
content with a diploma in lieu of the
cash premium, and it is probable most
of the winners will take that action,
thereby placing the fair association in
splendid shape for an extra good fair

We always intend to print all the
news, but sometimes We lose an item
or two. This happened last week.
Prof. w. A. Thompson who for so
many years was our efficient city sup
erintendent of schools was here and
packed up his household goods going
to Clark where he has accepted a like
position. We do not know the princi-
pals of the Clark schools in the past
but we can assure Clark citizens that
we never had a better one than Prof.
Thompson and we congratulate them
that the insurance business was not
good this year, and he was available
for their position. Another item was
the resignation of Mr.. L.. w. Bicknell
from the Lampert Lumber company
and the forming of a partnership with
Josephus Alley for the practice of law.
Mr.. Bicknell graduated in the law and
had been admitted to the practice to
all the courts in this state. Josephus
Alley is known to all as one of our
oldest and best lawyers AMI the new
firm should have smooth shedding from
the start. That is the wish of the

!'The Rosary

At the present day when so many
plays are being presented which deal
with questionable subjects, it is a relief
to turn to a drama which breathes
purity and good fellowship and leads
the way to a brighter view of life and
humanity.
Such a play is ''The Rosary" writ
ten by Edward E. Rose. expressly for
Messrs. Gaskeil and MaeVitty, and
produced by them.
The theme of the play contains a
man and a happily married and
surrounded by every luxury that
money and culture can secure. But
the husband is a unbeliever, an atheist
without faith of any kind.
This play win be seer OF the Coteau
opera house, Webster, next Saturday,
evening December 16, and will be pro-
duced exactly as seer during its famous
three months run in Chicago; two
months in New York City, and three
months at the Globe theatre in Boston.

Edited by Fred w. Lewis, Secre-

Grange over the financial manage
Bachelor, of New Hampshire and his
friends have controlled the organiza-
tion for several years. They have
repeatedly refused to properly distri
butte the organization fund through
the Western States. In fact they
refused to make an accounting at all
which was satisfactory to large
number of patrons. The result has
been that seven states combined to
fight the National organization, and
are known as Insurgents. These
seven states are Colorado, Kentucky,
Maine, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ore
gon and Washington. At the meeting
last summer at Atlantic City, the
Insurgents, though outvoted, made
such a fight that it has been deemed
best by real lovers Of the grange to
get the facts before the people, that
the organization may be purged of its
enemies and become the real leader
to place this matter before the Wash
ington grangers, Secretary Lewis is
sending out circulars showing Wash
ington's interest in the matter. A table
is presented showing growth in the
Insurgent states as we'll as those under
the special care of the Executive
Committee and the National Master.
This is too long to publish in full, but
resume is published as follows:
In 1904 Washington paid dues on
1865 members.
In 1910, on u, TOP, showing gain
of 9, SGT.

Average cost to National grange for
new oranges organized, $2.T.
Average cost to National grange for
increase of members, a fraction over
seven cents each.
For the six states under the special
care of the Elk. Committee and the
National Master, viz, Iowa, Idaho,
Minnesota, Missouri, South Dakota
and Wisconsin we find for the same
period the following:
In 1904 they paid dues on ITS
members.
In 1910 on 3, TAB making gain of
1858.
During the five years they organized
1873 new oranges.
They received from National Grange

Average cost to National Grange for

Average cost for increase in men,

To the above six states we may add
the following seven state oranges
whose Masters were opposed to all

Hampshire, Rhode Island and West
