Very Close Call.
The Joseph Roggsnbock Family Re.
ceive = Shock During the Electric
Storm Sunday Evening.

During the storm last Sunday
evening a little before nine clock
lightning struck the Joe Roggen
book home. Mr.. Roggenbock
and wife and son George were
in the dining room and two
daughters were in the kitchen.
The lightning was plainly seen
by all of them, running down
the chimney in a ziz gag course,
and the shock knocked those in
the dining room to the floor. Mr..
and Mrs. Roggenbock came to in
moment, but it was at first be-
lieved that the son George was
killed, as he was unconscious
and seemingly lifeless when his
father picked him up from the
floor, all doubled up. Attempts
were made to revive him
but it took fully ten minutes be-
fore he was restored to con-
sciousness. He eventually came
around all right and was not
marked in any way Joe says
for himself he thought the day
of judgment had arrived and
the mistakes of his life began to
crowd up before him and in a
flash he remembered several
pieces of land he had sold with
out telling all of their good quail
ties to the purchasers. AS he
pulled himself together he says
he was little surprised and very
thankful to find that they were
not all killed.

The Wisconsin Senator Proves Real
"Live Wire" Without ANY
Grounding Device.

Following the speech of Sena-

came Senator LaFollette of Wis
consin Wednesday afternoon,
and the doughty little senator,
who has earned a title to be call
ed reformer by twenty years
fight in Wisconsin which ended
in an absolute triumph of his
principles. The senator proved
to be "a ''live wire' in the cam
paign, and he handled our fat
president and the Rough Rider
Hat i'll most careless and un-
dignitied manner. In fact he
pronounced the Hat sham, and
many of US who had gone to the
opera house in a spirit of worship
with the Hat as our fetch, hadn't
sat there long before we realized
that our worship had been mis-
placed according to the gospel of
LaFollette, and that the Hat was
not symbol of reform, but was
but a splendidly bedecked cover.

the harvester trust, both of
which he asserted had been
sheltered and coddled by the Hat
when it was in power, and both
of which were now stirring
heaven and earth to secure the
nomination and election of Roose-
velt. The senator repudiated the
affixing of his name with that of
Roosevelt on what is called the
Roosevelt-LaF Follette list of dele.
gates and asked his friends to
demand of those who were seek
ing votes as delegates to Chicago
to state who these delegates
would vote for if elected-he
wanted the republicans to choose
between his accomplished facts
and ROosevelt's phrases.

4. l.. PittiMan Drowned
Son of Former Well.knOwn Grant
Center Resident Loses Life in
Spokane River.

The following excerpts are
taken from the Spokane Review
and relates to Emil L. Pittman, a
son of Frank Pittman, former
well-known resident of Grant
Center, now living at Richland,
Wash:
Unable to control a boat which
was being hauled across the
Spokane river at Seven Mile
crossing yesterday by pulleys
attached to cable, Raj ph Boggs,
in charge of one of the lines,
drew the boat broadside to the
current as the frail craft was
caught by an eddy in the middle
Of the stream, and together with
E. L. Pittman, was drawn to his
death in the icy waters of the
Spokane a few moments later.
The tragedy was seen by
score of workmen, who made
frantic efforts to reach the cap
sized craft in time to aid the
drowning men.
Young Pittman was one Of the
best known young men in the
local Y NJ. G. A., having taken
an active part in athletics and
been in charge of the swimming
pool equipment, but he never
learned TO swim. He was with
Secretary w. Forbes while he
was connected with the Salem,
Ore, Y M. G. A. He spent two
years in Willamette university
and has been acting as a sign
painter for the Crescent and vari-
Gus other firms. He had accept
ed the position as ranch assist
ant near the site of the work at
Seven Mile, where he was to aid
in boarding the crew employed
on the new steel bridge. At the
time he was drowned he was
making the trip to ranch across
the river to arrange for supplies.
He took the position yester day.

Memorial Day
Splendid Weather-A Fine PrOgr ain
and Large Crowd of Out.Of-
town Visitors.

Milbank has always been
known as place where the 3Oth
of May has been properly recog-
nized, this being largely due to
the fact that an active C. A. r.
post has been kept organized
here and a good public sentiment
has prompted the observance of
the day. The present year was
no exception to the rule and
good crowd of people were in
from the country to participate
in the occasion.
The parade and march from
the court house to the cemetery
consisted of the band, with
Frank Lindquist as marshal
leading the line of march, follow.
ed by the public school pupils,
each with flag, and in charge of
their teachers, and this part of
the marching column presented
very pretty appearance. The
school children were followed by
the Odd Fellows, led by a num-
ber Of the patriarchs militant of
that order, and these by a platoon
of boy scouts, and these were
followed by the veterans of the
G. A. r. and members of the
Relief Corps in autos, some
twenty five machines being in the
line.
Several of the grades of the
younger children were permitted
to leave the line of march when
they reached the school building,
the others continuing to the
cemetery, where the members
of the G. A. r. conducted their
memorial service and with the
members of the Relief Corps
decorated the graves of their de.
ceased comrades The Odd Eel
lows also decorated the graves of
Odd Fellows with flowers.
At the court house grove in
the afternoon the program of
exercises as published last week
was rendered in very interest
ing manner and a very pleasing
and patriotic address was de
livered by Rev. FIR. J. J. O'Neill,
the Catholic priest of this city,
number of patriotic songs and
recitations preceding the ad-
dress.
In the evening the public enter
tainment was given by a local
company in minstrel perform :
ance for the benefit of the band.
The opera house was crowded,
and a very enjoyable perform
ance was presented.

office in the county which needs
a deputy it is that of superin-
tendent of schools, for his work
takes him from his Office a large
portion of the time the schools
are in session. The people of
Grant county are too intelligent
to begrudge a little money for
the building up of their schools,

done under Mr.. Purdy. We pre-

The expense in the Milbank
school is 81. 20 for fuel and 81. 96
for janitor.
The above figures show that
with the exception of Milwaukee
the expense per pupil is smaller
than in any of the cities named,
and if we take into consideration
the fact that the freight on coal
is much more to Milbank than to
the cities named it will be seen
that the Milbank figures are
comparatively much less than
those of the places named, and
the showing is one that speaks
we'll for economy on this line
and is a good recommendation of
building and heating plant.

ON ROOSEVELT
FALSE, DECLARES LOEB

William Loeb, jr.. collector of the
port of New York by appointment OF
President Taft, comes out boldly In
a Vigorous defense of Colonel Roose-
welt against the attacks being made
upon the former President in the
double barreled controversy raging
over the contributions to the Roose-
Welt campaign fund of 1904 by the
Standard Oil Company and by E. H.
Hartman.
He saws it was he and not Presl-
lent Roosevelt, whose secretary ne
then was, to whom George B. Cor.
telyou. as chairman of the Republican,
National Committee, gave positive
assurance that the Standard OIL
Company had made no contribution
to the campaign.
Mr.. Loeb also makes the further
statement that instead of Roosevelt
asking Hartman for assistance, the
latter at the famous White House
interview had urged the President to
cause National Chairman Cortelyou
forthwith to give financial help to
the New York State Committee in
order to save the State ticket.
"I am making these statements
only in the interest of truth said
Collector Loeb to a reporter. Il have
not publicly discussed either of these
subjects before" he went on, "be
cause had not thought it necessary
to do so. When / visited Colonel
Roosevelt at Sycamore Hill Sunday
afternoon I voluntarily offered to give
out for the first time a correct &C
count of both incidents.
