FATAL ACCIDENT
Ole Nelson Killed In Land Slide

While loading sand for the new
Normal at the Foster pit near the
Junction power plant, about three
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon, Ole Mel.
son and Ed. Kohl were suddenly
engulfed in sand slide, the former
being hurled with great force
against the rear wheel of the wag-
on and buried beneath many tons
of sand. Kohl was working near
the outer edge of the slide and was
buried Only to his waist and escaped
without injury. 1t is thought that
Mr.. Nelson was killed instantly from
the force of the impact against the
wagon.
Ben Deiss. who had just filled his
wagon, had started up the hill when
he heard Kohl's call for help. Miss
Deiss met her brother on the hill
and, sending her for more help,
Deiss returned to the scene of the
accident, and with the aid of Aug
uSt Renter, Allen Chinook and a
few others who happened to be in
the immediate vicinity at the time,
attempted to free the imprisoned
men, but the sand filled in as fast
as they could shovel it back, and it
was not until aid arrived from the
city that the body Of Nelson was
recovered, almost an hour after the
accident.
The tragedgsis. an especially sad
one. Mr.. Nelson was about thirty
years of age, and with his wife and
fve-year-old daughter, had but just
got settled on the farm which he
purchased a few weeks ago of Mr..
Grossert. He was an enterprising
young man, exemplary in all of his
habits, and dearly beloved by all
who knew him. His disposition was
always cheerful and he made friends
wherever he went. The sincere and
heartfelt sympathy of the entire
community goes out to the bereaved
wife and child, who have so sud
denly and tragically lost loving,
faithful husband and father.
Funeral services will be held from
the home tomorrow (Friday) morn
ing at 1880.

PRlN. AMES REEVES FOOT
BALL AT MONROE

Prin. ]. w. T. Ames turne1 out a
successful football team at Monroe
this season in spite of the fact that
the game had not been attempted
there in the past three years, and
he had to train candidates who had
never been in game before in
their lives. The Monroe high
school won five out of their eight
games, losing the first three to high
schools rated among the best in
that section of the state, and win
ming from Mineral point twice,
GAINESVILLE, Platteville and the
Delevan Mutes.
The final game was played last
Thursday, with Platteville, and re-
suited in SO to victory for Mon
roe In concluding its write up
of that game the Monroe Evening
Times paid the following tribute to
Mr.. Ames:
THE credit of the success of the
football team is in a great measure
due to Supt. ]. w. T. Ames, who is
a football enthusiast, player and
coach. He not only allowed them
to have a team, but he drilled them
in practice and oficiated in some of
the games. He was with them all
of the time and as anxious as any
for victory. His true sportsmanlike
spirit has been an excellent exam
pie for high school boys. They all
respect him, seek his advice and
listen to his council. Although
new among us, Mr.. Ames has
proven himself to be real leader
in school work as we'll as athletics,
and his prestige is bound to grow
as his influence is more generally
felt"

WISCONSIN INDUSTRIES
Prom The Geographic Viewpoint

The State Geological Survey has
just issued a bulletin on the "Ge.
ography and Industries of Wiscon-
SIM. This bulletin is one of the
educational series which have been
so popular. The earlier bulletin on
the Lakes of Southeastern Wis
consin" has had to be reprinted and
the one on the Devils Lake and
the Dells" is out of print.
The present volume is written by
R. H. Whitbeck, Professor of &C.
ography in the state university. 1t
is planned especially to be of inter
est to the general reader and to
teachers and pupils who are study
ing the geography of the state. 1t
treats in very simple, pleasing
manner the relation of the develop
ment of the industries of Wisconsin
to the underlying geographic causes
1t points out how location, climate,
topography, transportation, natural
resources and the stage of develop
ment of the state have influenced
its industrial activities.
Numerous maps and illustrations
are used to make more pointed the
statements in the text. There are
maps showing the location of vari-
Gus industries, such as woodwork
ing factories, Woodworking shops,
paper and pulp mills, breweries,
brick yards, creameries and cheese
factories. There are also many
maps showing the various agricul-
tural products of the state.
The development of the lumber
industry is traced from the time
when only rough lumber was pro-
duced to the present time when
there is fourishing industry with
many plants devoted turning out
flushed wood products of various
kinds, and the reasons for this de-
velopment are shown.
The concentration of certain in
dustries in particular sections, such
as the great development of paper
and pulp manufacturing in the Fox
and Wisconsin River valleys, is
pointed out and the reasons for this
fact explained.
Many other interesting questions
are discussed in the bulletin, such
as the influence of transportation
facilities on the development of our
Wisconsin industries, why certain
industries are declining and why
others are rapidly increasing in i'm.
portance, why certain crops are
grown in some parts of the state
and not in others.
This book is free to citizens of
the state and will be sent on receipt
of 10 cents to pay mailing charges
Those who wish it can obtain it by

IN MEMORIAM

A tribute to the memory of Mrs.
Mary Jane Young, by an old friend
and pastor.
A message from Prescott, vi tai
with filial affection, brought me the
Intelligence: Our dear mother died
November fifteenth. Funeral SER
vices conducted by the Rev. John
Shaffer November eighteenth.
Just about one year ago l rode
with Mrs. Young to the grave of
her husband in the beautiful Gene
terry that seems as if keeping watch
from the heights overlooking the
Father OF Waters"
That little message brought floods
of memories; memories of my three
years of service in the city of Pres
colt; of the friends and Christian
helpers came into fellowship with
there. Among those whose aims
and inner life | touched was Dr..
Arthur Young, man of high
ideals, scholarly tastes, rare breadth
of vision, a hatred of all that was
mean or low, man in love with
reality, an earnest Christian, the
PASTORS confidential friend and
adviser.
In the city of River Falls, Wis
consin. this young and studious
physician was united in marriage
with Miss Mary Jane Moftat, May
ID, 1857. They chose Prescott as
their home, and their entire lives
were spent there.
Prescott is not only spot of rare
natural beauty, in its blendings of
lake and bluff, forest and river, but
it has a unique history in the high
educational, civic and religious
ideals cherished and conserved by
its early citizenship. 1t has been
andis, prominently a city of homes,
and | am confident | do but voice
the sentiment of all in affirming
that for the best possible things in
home and city.
Mrs. Young acted nobly her part;
a true wife and mother, a rare
hostess, genial and companionable,
a rare conversationalist, with clear
views of what a Christian church
should be and achieve; she was
untiring in her devotion. In church
services, the ladies societies, the
Sabbath school, and in the singing,
as also in sickness and ministering
in homes of suffering and breave-
ment. "She did what she could
and is among the immort ais"
1t is but a just tribute to her
children that they made the home
cheerful for their dear mother in
the declining days; faithful in their
ministering through ner widowed
years. Though they are breaved
they will have precious memories,
for loving service is its own reward.

A letter was sent TO this Office
scoring some unnamed players of
the local school football teams be.
cause they refused to play in a
game arranged for Thanksgiving
day, between a team of local all
stars and a similar team of Hud-
son. The letter called to the at
tention of these players that it was
the business mems financial sup
port that made possible their school
games, and as the school games
were usually played on Saturday
the business men were generally
unable to attend; therefor it was a
grave mis- emeanor for the play ers
not to appear in a game which all
might witness. We do not publish
the letter for two reasons, the prin
cipal one of which is the fact that
it is not signed, and the other is
that we can hardly believe the
writer to be overly serious in his
charges. The boys who were
chosen for the all-star team were
for the most part out of tr aiming
and some of them had not been in
a foot ball game for years. There
was practically no time for them to
get into shape nor to learn any set
of signals, in fact some of them
would probably have had to go into
the game with but a faint know
ledge of the new game. The
scheduled game would have been a
farce from every angle as far as an
exhibition of modern football is
concerned, and those who would
have taken part would have stood a
good chance of serious effects from
the violent exercise on account of
not being in condition for playing
this strenuous game. Instead of
being scored for their refusal to
play, we believe the boys referred to
in the letter should be given credit
for sound judgment.

Holiday Spirit Saves Two
from Stay in Penitentiary

Police Recorder Thomas McLaugh-
lin today handled two cases of Christ
mas frivolity, but the holiday spirit
saved most of the participants. James
Godfrey, of Alden street. Orange, and
James Mcdonald, a neighbor. with
James Sharkey of King street, West
Orange, spoiled the Christmas deco
rations and some front windows In
Frank McGirrs saloon, Lakeside ave-
nue., late last night during a row over
football.
A heated argument of the skill of
rival teams who played a local game
yesterday ended in fisticuffs, and the
football experts trimmed up the sa-
loon in fine style until Policemen DAILY
and Dangler took a hand in the fray.
McGirr today said he did not want
the crowd jailed and withdrew his
complaint against them on promises
that the prisoners would pay for the
damage done and remain away from
the saloon in future.

Mrs. Thomas Edison Takes
Part in Pretty Christmas
Program in West Orange

Twinkling lights in red lanterns
carried by participants In the West
Orange Improvement Leagues Christ
mas eve program afforded one of the
most picturesque speetacles in the
history of the mountain town. Little
groups of grown-ups and children,
walking down the mountain slopes,
swinging the lights as they sang
carols, attracted much attention, and
in the valley below, as the groups
converged toward the jenkins play
ground, near fire headquarters, thou
sands of spectators awaited their ar
rival.
The big tree in the playfield was
lighted at signal from Mrs. Thomas
A. Edison, president of the league,
and, led by comets, the happy groups
sang Christmas melodies, the crowds
about at times joining in the songs
which carried well on the still night
air. Bethlehem's star was brilliantly
outlined by the lights in steady
radiance. and streamers of lights
swelled out below the star. marking
the trees generous outlines.
