night on rock smashed boat, was
narrowly averted by Mrs. Higbee of
st. Paul, president of the Minnesota
Federation of Women's clubs, Mrs.
H. A. TOmlinson of st. Peter, vice
president OF the federation, Miss
Martha Wilson of the state library
commission, and score of Interna-
tiOnal Falls club women, when the
excursion launch on which a trip
was being made went on the rocks
near Rainy Lake City, on Sunday.
Federation officers, who Harrived in
Bemidji to attend the convention,

Women Taken From the Craft.
The women were taken from the
imperiled craft late in the evening
but their thrills for the day were
not yet over, for while passing the
Rainier rapids three men were res
cued, after their row boat had been
turned upside down by the treach-
erOuS waters; 4JG
The accident took place on Sun
day. The state officers as guests of
International Falls women, boarded
the "Koochiching," a fifty passenger
power boat. A pleasant run was
made on the Rainy river to Rainy
Lake City, distance OF twelve
miles. All went well until the re-
turn trip was started. Then it was
discovered that a couple had been
left behind.
In order to pick up these persons,
the boat started to turn around and
onto rock, which held her fast.
Small Boats to the Rescue.
A small boat from the Bennett
summer hotel came alongside the
marooned excursionists and offered
aid, and after obtaining services OF
another small boat, took on board
fifteen of the women and started
for International Falls. Mrs Higbee
and other federation officers were
in the first boat and they passed
the rapids at Rainier without Incl
dent.
The women were compelled to re-
main on the stranded launch until
two o'clock Monday morning.
When the second boat reached the
rapids, it's occupants were Mortified
to see an upturned boat and three
persons struggling in the water, and
it was presumed that it was women
from the first relief boat.
There was all sorts of excitement
for a time, but after much maneu
vering the three struggling persons
were rescued, but not until one was
going down for the last, time. They
proved to be three fishermen.

John A. Johnson, an aged resident
of Monterey, hanged himself there
yesterday morning.
The old gentleman had not been
in his right mind by spells for a
long time and had been watched
closely by the balance of the family
since about a month ago when he
tried to destroy his own life by
opening an artery in his arm.
About six o'clock the balance of
the family heard the old gentleman
get up and move about the room
for a few minutes, but thought
nothing of it as no unusual sounds
were heard AS he did not appear
by about eight o'clock his wife
went into his room to awaken him
and was Mortified to find him upon
the floor dead.
Takes Strap From Suitcase.
The old man had taken the strap
from a suitcase, made a moose
which he slipped about his neck,
to the bedpost and deliberately
strangled himself to death by throw
ing his weight upon the strap. The
moose was so low that he was upon
his knees on the floor when found,
but life was extinct.
Coroner Brodt of Fairmont was
notified and as soon as possible
went to Monterey, but after eXamin-
ing into the matter did not deem an
inquest necessary. He prepared the
body for shipment to Moline, ILL.,,
where burial will be made.
Mr. Johnson was aged seventy
years and leaves wife and six
children. He was born in Sweden
and came to America in 1898, set
Ting at Moline, Ill. In 1900 he came

Mrs. Harry l.. Eisenhart, formerly
of st. Peter, is in the heart of the
revolutionary district in Mexico, and
her mother, Mrs. Christine Perry of
st. Peter, fears that some mishap
may have befallen her. Mrs. Perry
received a letter from her daughter
last Sunday. 1t was written from
the town of Zacualpan, in the state
of Mexico, some two hundred miles
south of the City of Mexico, two
weeks before, and stated that the
place was about to fall into the
hands of the rebels.
Husband Interested in Mines.
Mr. Eisenhart has extensive min
ing interests near Zacualpan, and
his wife wrote that they had under
estimated the spread of the revolu-
ton until too late for them to de-
part Several days before the let,
ter was written an insurrectO force
appeared at their mine, impressed
all their horses and relieved them
of their firearms. They were allow
ed to go to the town, but Mrs.
Eisenhart stated that it's garrison
consisted of only fifty soldiers, and
the place was surrounded by $50
insurrectOs.
Possessions Taken From Them.
She added that they were negoti
ating with the rebels for permission
to go to the City of Mexico, but
that practically all their possessions
had been taken from them and they
anticipated great trouble in reach
ing the capital. Mrs. Perry is fear
full for her daughters safety, believ
ing that she would have received
further word had Mrs. Eisenharl
succeeded in reaching a place OF
safety. Mrs Eisenhart has mum

City Engineer ,Blomquist and
Charles Bennett have returned from
Albert Lea, where they inspected
the pavement being laid there They
paid particular attention to the way
the creosoted block pavement is
laid, and learned many valuable
pointers. While sAibert Lei" is put
ting down a fine pavement, the one
to be laid in this city will be better
and more durable.
Better Blocks for Mankato.
The blocks used at Albert Lea
are three inch blocks of tamarac
wood, with sixteen pounds of creo-
sote to the square foot, but the
blocks specified for Mankato are
three inch tamarac blocks with
twenty pounds of creosote to the
square foot, which will preserve the
wood longer. The Albert Lea pave
ment is being put down with five
inches of concrete as a base, made
with bank gravel hauled two miles,
and containing fifteen to twenty per
cent clay. The foundation for the
Mankato pavement will be six inches
of concrete, with river gravel, which
contains a very small per cent OF
clay. A much harder as well as
thicker concrete is expected in this
city.
Cost Of the Pavement.
The pavement in Albert Lea costs
1922 a square yard, but on account
of the superior quality of the pave
ment to be laid in this city the
bids may go higher, possibly to
somewhere between $3.50 and $40
yard, but this is all guess work,
for competition may force the figure
down considerably. The deduction
for the gravel will come out of this.
shepIey Looks Over Specifications.
Mr.. Shepley of Fielding & Shep-
ley, who are laying the creosoted
block pavement at Albert Lea, and
who laid the brick pavement in this
city, was in Mankato yesterday, 60
ing over the specifications for the
paving, preparatory to submitting
bid Monday. Several other bidders
have been looking over the specifica-
tions, and it is expected that there
will be considerable competition.
Bids are advertised to be opened at
ten o'clock Monday morning on all
of the paving. Among the bidders
on the tar macadam are expected to
be Fowler & Pay, the T. R. Cough
Ian company and J. r. Thompson

when the retired farmer goes to
town to live, he is out of place and
soon falls to pieces from inertia. He
dies years before his time just from
dry rot. Anyway, the city people
have not any use for him, and he
has nothing in common with them.
He has nothing with which to occu-
Ply his mind.
Il believe farmers are commenc-
ing to realize this. The start made
by Farmer Hepner is one that should
be extensively followed, and will be.
We are sending out pamphlets and
giving lectures constantly on how to
make the farm home attractive, so
