DEATH OF MRS. PEARL C. CAMP
BELL

Mrs. Pearl c. Campbell died at her
home on 3rd street near the ward
schoolhouse Monday morning, Nov. 90
at 3 a. M, aged about. 20 years
Mrs. Campbell was born at Modena
Buffalo County, Wis, and grew to
womanhood in that vicinity. On Nov.
80, 1910, she was united in marriage
to c. A. Campbell and they have
since made Ladysmith their home.
Mr.. and Mrs. L. c. Sweet, of Me-
nominie Tuesday for burial, accom-
Mr.. and Mrs. j. d. Tiffany, from near
Durand, (Mrs. Tiffany being a sis
teri We're called to Ladysmith last
week on account of the serious CON
dition of Mrs. Campbell Despite all
that medical skill could do, and the
loving care of a former schoolmate
and trained nurse, Miss Belle Lief
ring, of Durand, who was assisted
by Miss Harriette Dean, of Lady
smith, Mrs, Campbell gradually grew
worse until the end came. Miss
Liefring and Miss Dean were in con-
Stant attendance.
The remains were shipped to Me-
nomonie Tuesday for borial, accom-
panied by Mr.. Campbell and Mr. Tiff
fany, the parents, Mr.. and Mrs l..
c. Sweet, Mrs. Tiffany and Miss
Liefring preceding Monday
Near relatives left beside the par
ents are the sister, Mrs. Ella M. Tiff
fany, who resides near Durand, and
a brother, Frank H. Sweet, who now

bell would have celebrated their first
wedding anniversary.

INSTALLS CANCELL|NG MACHINE
ladysmith Postoffice Doing Big
5usiness.-Wiil Be Made 2nd
- Class Office Next July.

Ladysmith being a modern. up-to-
date city, it is particularly fitting
for it to have a modern, up-to-date
postoffice such as is being conduct
ed here by j. W. Fritz.
This week a new Cummings stamp
cancelling machine was installed by
Postmaster Fritz. The machine is
so constructed that by placing a
bundle of letters and post cards in
a trough and turning a crank it will
feed and cancel at the same time
and carry the mail through to a box
out of the, way. With the average
of 1000 letters a day handled at
this office and the already notice
able increase for the holidays. this
machine will be a great time saver
at that busy place. There are. about
10000 pieces of mail handled at
this office during a month. and the
business is steadily increasing.
Wednesday Nh Fritz issued ST.
100000 in international postoffice mon
ey orders, the money all going to
Australia. 1t is thought that the es-
tablishing of postal savings bank
here will result in a decrease of the
amount sent abroad
Next July the Ladysmith postoffice
will be raised to a second-class office
and Mr.. Fritz expects to build an adj
dition to the postoffice next year.
The great increase in the business
done by the local office and the es-
tablishing of the postal bank makes
it desirable to have more room.
Ladysmith will probably enjoy the
of free city delivery
within the next year or two.

investigation Of the conditions and
careful study of the present and

effect upon the city, as briefly as
may be, as q means OF calling the
attention of the public to the needs
Of further funds to place this for

in a position to measurably retrieve
its loss by the individual efforts of

Thirty Openings
Belching Forth
Smoke and Lava
Entire Crest of Mount Aetna in State
Ebullition and Country in the
Vicinity is Threatened.

CATANIA, Sicily, Sept. l3.-The eruption
of Mount Etna is assuming the proper
tions of a real disaster. The lava stream
whose path crosses the railway line circnng
the volcano, is approaching the railway
stations TO the north and ashes are threat
ening the depots at Moio and Alcantara'
which were abandoned today
SQUADS of laborers were at work today
taking up. the railroad tracks and removing
all transportable material TO places OF
safety.
The entire crest of Mount Etna appears
10 be in state of ebullition. An. exact
count of the number of fissures is impos-
sible because of the smoke which spreads
the whole mountain, but there seemed to
be more than thirty openings all belching
smoke and lava.
The eruption means much suffering for
the peasantry. The slopes of Mount Etna.
with an area Of more than 400 square miles
support a population more dense than that
Of any other portion OF Sicily OF Italy.
There are sixty-five cities and villages in
the entire area and the number Of inhab-
itants which obtain an excellent living
from the fertile lava beds totals more than
800 600.

Conditions in China
Viewed With Alarm
at Present Time
Students of Oriental Affairs Look for
Present Uprising in Flowery
Kingdom to Extend.

WASHINGTON, Sept BIN the opinion
of students of oriental affairs, China is
rapidly approaching a great crisis in its
history. The uprising in sze-Chuen prov
ince is expected to extend to other neigh
boring provinces. especially to the south
ward where the Mongolian element has
for many years been opposed to the
reigning Manchu dynasty. Evidently pre-
pared for trouble, the Chinese govern
ment has been quick to dispatch troops
into the disaffected district and to deal
with the situation with strong hand. It
Is believed here that the governnent will
be able to suppress the present disturbance
though the unforeseen disastrous flooding
OF the Yang-Tse valley Is expected to
drive thousands Of the unfortunate/natiVes
whose means of support have been de.
stroyed into the ranks OF the revoluuonists
But it is believed that this Sze-Chuen
uprising is only the precursor Of other
outbreaks in different parts of the king
dom, for the first in the struggle now
going on is really a gigantic test Of the
relative strength and power Of the CEN
tral, as opposed to the provincial gov
ernment: in other words the situation re-
sembles the great feudal wars of Europe
in the middle ages Japan also had to
pass through a similar ordeal before the
emperor was able TO break the power
Of his mutinous barons and it is believed
that the Chinese government will now be
put to the same test ..
