DIED

Ole Hanson, pioneer resident OF
this county for the past forty-fve years,
died suddenly Tuesday at his home
near Madsen station of heart failure.
He was GO years old.
Mr.. Hanson with one of his sons,
was out in the field, each working with
team, seeding. At about o'clock Ia
the evening when about ready to quit
work for the day, the son, at one end
of the field looked around toward
where his father was at work. He
saw the team standing there, but could
not see his father, who was lying on
the ground. He ran to where his
father was, only to find him dead.
Mr.. Hanson was brother of Mrs S.
Sanderson, Mrs. S. o. Berge and Peter
p. Hanson of this city. He is also sur
vived by six children: Oscar, Albert,
Alvin, Isabelle, Amanda and Elma all
of whom reside on the farm.
Mr.. Hanson was prosperous farmer.
He was born in Norway and came to
this country at the age of Is. He has
resided in Manitowoc county ever
since.
Typhoid pneumonia from which he
had suffered but few days caused the
death of Robert Kohls, report of whose
death at Hammond, Ind, Monday was
shock to relatives and friends. The
body of Mr.. Kohls was brought here
Tuesday night in charge of Karl Kohls,
his father, and the funeral will be held
this afternoon from the German Luth-
eran church. The young man left
here only two weeks ago and soon after
his arrival at Hammond was taken i'll
and passed away Monday. His father,
two sisters, Mrs. Harry Herzog and
Mrs. Ladwig, this city, and one broth
Emil Kohls, of Cincinnati, survive.

Another important discovery, calcu-
lated to double at least the capacity OF
the existing telephone lines. is that i
is no longer necessary to use two
wires, or what is known as the ire
turn WIRE, for efficient telephony, but
that single wire with silent earth"
connections can be used for multiplex
telephony. All of the necessary in
struments required in multiplex tele-
phony are already developed and can
be purchased from dealers in the open
market.
IL is a remarkable fact that the sup
exposition of additional telephone con-
yersations upon wire does not inter-
fere In the slightest degree with the
operation of the present telephone in
stallations, which remain unchanged.
That the new system is entirely prac-
ticable and that it has long passed the
experimental stage, Is evidenced by
the fact that single wire circuit be-
tween the research laboratory of the
signal corps at the bureau of stand
ards on the heights north of Wash
ington, and the signal corps eonstruc-
ton laboratory at 1710 Pennsylvania
avenue. is now daily used for the in
dependent transmission of two stimuli
taneous telephone conversations.

sorting that the flames were first
seen coming from that part Of the
building. The real cause of the fire
will probably never be known. 1t
seems to have started on an upper
floor In the west wing, but the stories
of eyewitnesses conflict on this point,
and the destruction is too complete
TO enable anyone to determine the
origin of. the fire by an examination
of the ruins.
One Of the real losses to the COM
munity and to the city at large caused
by this fire, is the loss of the melod-
ious deep-toned bell which has rung
out the hours for many years. II
possessed a peculiar mellow tone, and
had become endeared TO every resi-
dent of the city. The giant clock in
the tower is also total loss 1t was
visible from long distance and was
one of the most accurate timekeepers
In this section, never varying more
than q few seconds from the official
Washington time. The fire has de-
stroy an old and beautiful landmark
which has long been one OF the sights
from the passing trains, and which
the city wishes might have been re-
moved in less destructive manner.

mother. is hurrying to this city from
Frederick, Md, and is expected to
arrive in plenty Of time TO allow her
lawyer to draw up the necessary pa

Miss Mamie Miller left home some
months ago. She went to Baltimore
and from there to Frederick, Md.
where she was visiting friends.
Finding that her money was giving
out she tried to find employment but
failed. and was forced 70 move to
cheaper surroundings. During all the
time that she was away she had
heard nothing from her mother and
did not know OF her death until yes
terday.
III the meantime, Mrs. Miller, who
lived at I6 b street. Southwest, had
suffered slightly from heart disease,
but II was not thought to be serious.
On Christmas eve. Just as she was
preparing a number OF presents for
her friends, the fatal attack seized
her.
Her attorney. George W. Drew, at
once took charge or her effects and a
search was made for the will. None
was found. however. and one OF the
woman's friends said that she had

room was broken open and jewels.

# ATTELL- -KILBANE BOUT DECLARED NO CONTEST
Physicians Declare That Feather Weight Champions Injury Will
 Not Cause His Retirement.

Cleveland, O.. Feb. 1.-The fight between Abe Atell, featherWeight champion, and Tommy Kilbane here last night, in which Attel broke his right flat shoulder bone, was declar- ed no contest by Referee Will Mack ay today
 The injury to the champion prov ed more serious when it was learned today that his left arm was also in- jured, the tendons being badly strain- ed and bruised. However. in spite of his almost helpless condition, Attele insisted on leaving tonight for New York, where he will put himself un- der the care of specialist.
 Cleveland doctors who treated the fighter are oortident that a couple ot months will completely restore him, and Attel himself is equally optimis- tic. He asserts that on two former occasions when he suffered small broken bones ard a broken nose, a couple of weeks were sufficient TOT the bones to knit.

IMPORTANT BILL
 FOR DRAINAGE

Little Rock, Feb. 1.--Representative William D. Self of Craighead county has a very important drainage bill, which he will introduce in the House this week. It is for the benefit of the land owner who is not in a gen. eral district but is hemmed off from draining his land because he cannot secure right of way over private lands. The bill will give persons the right of eminent domain over other private lands for drainage ditches This bill is a very important one to east Arkansas counties.
