there eleven years.
There were born to them three sons,
the eldest of whom died in infancy.
The survivors are Charles W. Athey
of Grand Forks, North Dakota, and
A. E. Athey of this city.
In the fall of 1887, the family re-
moved to Redwood Falls, settling on
the Riheldaffer Place, (now owned by

years; meanwhile, Mrs. Athey built a
home west of Mrs. Margaret Evans.

became widow shortly after remov-
ing to Redwood Falls.
The deceased joined the Methodist
church in her youth and all her life

to settle at Redwood Falls by some
Presbyterian friends who moved from
st. Paul here, and consequently joined
the Presbyterian Church Of this place.

loved by all who knew her for her
kindness of character. She was also

Another Life Lost
In Fatal Accident
As Auto Upsets
Henry Stevenson of Walnut Grove Is
Suffocated Under Car Thurs
day Evening
RUNS OVER TWELvE-FOOT BANK
Other Occupant And Car Undamaged;
Inquest Is Deemed
Unnecessary

Last Friday morning Dr. F. H. Aid
rich, county coroner, received tele-
phone message from Tracy asking him
to investigate the circumstances sur
rounding the death of Henry Sievert-
son who was killed late Thursday
night in an automobile accident.
1t was found that Mr.. Stevenson, a
farmer living half way between Wal
nut Grove and Tracy, and August Sgo-
iran, his hired man, had gone into
Tracy about nine o'clock in the eve-
ming to do some shopping. They went
in Mr.. Sievertson's automobile which
Stevenson was driving.
After a couple of hours spent in
buying supplies the two men had
lunch at the Palace restaurant and
started for home some time between
eleven and twelve o'clock. All went
well until they were about two miles
east of Tracy There the road leads
down hill into narrow grade about
ten feet high.
Just at the beginning of the grade
is small bridge over run. The
automobile passed over the bridge in
safety, but Immediately got to one
side of the grade which was quite soft
and gradually the car seemed to have
worked off the grade in spite of Mr..
Sievertson's attempt to get it to climb
onto the grade again.
After going along the edge of the
grade with two wheels off the north
side for the distance of about one hun
Adred feet, the car turned completely
and rested upside down at the bottom
of the grade, which was almost per-
pendicular drop of ten or twelve feet
Mr.. Stevenson was pinned beneath
the steering wheel and the top of the
machine in such a manner as to be
suffocated.
Mr.. Sgojran managed to extricate
himself from the wreckage and found
that he was not injured. He tried to
release Mr.. Stevenson but found the
WOAShI wv ilCcANy LII llliil W ILL, ~ IiC
ran back few rods to the farm house
of Mr., Lloyd Moses, who with couple
of other neighbors, hurried to the
scene. Their combined efforts how
ever were not sufficient to enable them
to lift the car enough to release Mr.
Stevenson.
A hurried telephone call was sent to
DR.. Valentine at Tracy to come with
more help. The doctor and two more
men arrived shortly and the automo-
bile was turned so as to release the
unfortunate man but it was found that
life was extinct. J. H. Johnson and
son and Miss Amelia Larson were sent
to the Stevenson farm to convey the
sad news to the widow and children.
The remains were taken to the Kaech-
lie undertaking rooms at Tracy.
The funeral took place from the
Lutheran church in Springdale town
ship, Sunday.
An inquest was not considered ne
cessary as death was plainly accidental.
The automobile was not badly wrecked.

NO PLANS FOR NEW CHURCH
Congregation of st. GATHERINGS Church
Has Made No Definite
Arrangements

In an interview with Father ]. j.
Tomek, the Gazette was informed that
while a meeting of some members of
the Church of st. Catherine was held
last Thursday evening, it was not held
for the primary purpose of discussing
plans for new church.
While the congregation contemp-
lates building, it has made no definite
plans and will not make any until next
year at least. There has been no de-
cision reached by the members of the
congregation as to the amount they
wish to expend upon the new struc-
ture.

EVERY WORD OF IT TRUE.

EVERY WOKD OF III True!
There are but few editors in
our state who have not made a
vigorous and continuous fight
against the city in the interest
of the home merchant and with
out charge. If the editors re-
ceived their regular advertising
rates for all they have said
against these enemies Of the
country merchant they could be
wearing glittering diamonds.
Now the department store man
appreciates advertising space
and is willing to take all the
average country editor has for
sale. What other business or
professional men would refuse
business to help their friends,
especially as many of said
friends never seem in the least
disposed to return the compli-
ment or even appreciate it.

Building Boom in
This Vicinity Most
Substantial in Years
County To Have Handsome Farm
Residences With All The Modern
COnveniences
HOMES BUILT AND IMPROVED
Money Evidently No Object When
Redwood County Residents Get
Building Fever
HOMES BUILT AND IMPROVED

If anyone doubts that Redwood
County is booming he has only to call
on dad" at the Botsford Lumber
yard or on "Ben The Booster" at the
Farmers Elevator. These gentlemen
will show the doubter such bills Of
lumber sold to residents Of the county
that he will have not single doubt
left
The most extensive improvements
are being made on the farms of the
county. Among the finest of these is
the John Whitcomb home which The
Gazette mentioned in previous issue.
Here the house and barn are being
erected at cost Of over $4,000 and
will be one of the show places of the
county.
The land belonging to Mrs. Ella
Sanders is being improved by build
ings costing $4,000 while her son, H. P.
Sanders is also expanding nearly as
large sum in buildings on his large
farm. Chas. Gilfllan is also expend-
ing the sum of $4,000 on Improvements
on his country home at Gilfillan.
Robert Stewart has planned $4,000
residence to be built in the near fut-
ure, and G. P. Collins is improving his
property just south of town at an ex-
penditure of $4,000.
Aug.|Lossow is building two story
entirely modern house which will cost
about $4,000 when completed, and the
VIM Brothers are erecting hand
some residence on the farm known as
the Carpenter place.
The Gold and Wise farm is being
improved by combination corn crib
and granary of the most up-to-date
type which will be model of capacity
and convenience, if one may judge
from the plans. Chas. Garnhart and
Henry Petrie are both putting up
splendid barns costing between $500
and $500 each.
While Louis Lindemann is not prop
erly resident of Redwood County, we
still claim the right TO point him out
as one of the capitalists and progress
sive farmers of the neighborhood. This
year Mr.. Lindemann is building a
modern residence for the tenant of
one of his farms. The house is very
well arranged and its building calls
for considerable expenditure.
In the city of Redwood Falls many
houses are being enlarged, improved
and made modern Among the new
residences that are being put up are
one by ]. "A. McGetrick costing $4,000
another by Thomas March, costing
$4,000 and a third by Mr.. Babcock
which will cost at,least $1,000 when il
is completed.
The Botsford Lumber Company re-
ports that this is the best year in its
Redwood Falls experience, and in view
of the bountiful crop there seems ne
doubt of the business remaining con-
slant.

Pink morning comes with petals in
her hair,
fragrant as the kisses of abride;
noon comes marching with its
azzling glare
catter spears athwart the coun-
sryside.
z purple twilight follows dream
ing the senses like mothers

Each of these changes through the
years we see,
And then comes Night-and Death.
How many, many changes have | seen
Dawn, Noon, the purple Twilight and

How often have | watched them with

Dear Queen of Love who made my

And eagerly l watch them, for | see

Who smiles and beacons me.

circulated by the fire laddies and
signed by the 46 business
men, nine-tenths of the signers
are strictly opposed to the street
fair, but signed it on the
strength of the appeal of the fire
department.
The mayor and board of alder
men want every business man
and citizen of Newport to appre-
ciate our fire department. We
recognize their noble efforts in
our behalf, the sacrifice of time,
risk of life and limb-rain or
shine. They never have a re-
quest from the board of alder
men, but what is readily grant
ed. They came to us with a re-
quest for slickers, gum boots and
hats, and they were Immediate
ly ordered. They came to us
with a complaint that the old
hose cart was dangerous, and
as soon as we had the funds we
purchased a modern fire wagon.
There is not a merchant that
is on this petition that will not
90 down in his pocket for S1.OO
$500, $500 or even $1,000 to
assist the fire laddies. | have
heard several say since they
have signed the petition that
they are willing to contribute
$500 to $1,000 rather than have
the boys get it through street
fair privilege.
We have no right to grant a
privilege to anyone to monopol-
ize our streets,and any citizen
can prevent the same by serv-
ing an injunction; so for these
reasons we are compelled to re-
fuse the Whitney shows or any
other shows, the use Of our
streets for street fairs.

DOCTORS INDORoh W."
BROS HERPICIDE FOR
THE HAIR.

When a doctor endorses a pre-
marathon it means more than an
ordinary testimonial. His opln-
ion is always that of the profess
sional man devoted to the well
fare of the people.
DR.. J. ]. Boyd, Covington,
Tenn, says: 81 feel it my duty
TO write this for the benefit OF
those suffering from dandruff.
In the average case a few appll-
cations of Newbro's Herplclde
will remove all dandruff. 1t IS
advisable to continue its use for
several weeks
The words of J. 3. Thompson,
NJ. D., No. 2 Burrough Place,
Cor. Hollis ST., Boston, Mass,
are not less enthusiastic: i
can only speak in praise OF New
bros Herpicide. 1t is all that is
claimed and perhaps more.
Herpicide not only cleanses the
SCALP but brightens the hair,
gives life and makes it soft"
DR.. T. A. Moore, Duncan,
Ariz.. writes of his experience:
"My scalp was in places covered
by patches Of dry, scaley materl-
al and the itching was incessant.
Since using Herpicide all these
evils have disappeared and my
hair is soft, smooth and growing.
Hair has grown on spots before
but thinly covered"
Newbro's Herpicide is "the
original remedy to kill the dan
druff germ" and stop falling
hair. The terrible itching which
goes with dandruff is allayed al
most at once"
Newbro's Herpicide in soc and
S1.OO sizes is guaranteed to do
all that is claimed. If you are
not satisfied your money will be
refunded.
Applications may be obtained
at the leading barber shops. Be
sure you get genuine Herpicide,

.FUTREll ViTOES
LtVEE DISTRICT ACT
Governor Recalls The White
River Levee Act Which Had
Been Signed by Oldham


Little Rock, April 2.-Claim-
ing that he was entitled to eXer-
else the functions of the govern
or's office, according to the re-
cent decision of the Supreme
Court, from the time he was
elected president pro tenn OF the
Senate, Governor Futrell yester-
day recalled from the secretary
of state a senate bill which had
been signed by Acting Governor
Oldham SO minutes after the
Senate had elected its president
pro tenn, and affixed his veto to
it, giving his reasons therefor.
The bill which was approved
by Acting Governor Oldham and
disapproved by Governor Futrell
is Senate Bill No. PIT, by Sena-
tor Clyde Going, being an act to
/ lay off and establish a part of
Jackson county into a levee dis
trict to be known as Village
Creek and White River Levee
District, and to provide for the
erection and maintenance of le-
wees in the district.
The bill was approved by Act
ing Governor Oldham at 1910
o'clock a. M, March 13, Senator
Futrell having been elected pres
ident pro tenn of the Senate at
Oil, being SO minutes prior to
the time Acting Governor Old
ham signed the bill.
In his proclamation explaining
his action in recalling the ap-
proved measure and vetoing it,
Governor Futrell says:
Assuming that I became act
ing governor of Arkansas at
Oil a. m. March IS, 1913, being
the time | qualified as president
of the senate, and that it be-
comes my duty as such acting
governor to approve or veto said
bill, the same is returned without
my approval for the following
reasons:
"The bill does not carry with it
proper safeguards for the protec-
ton Of the taxpayers in said
district; there is no limitation
upon the amount of bonds to be
issued; permission is given to
allow a brokerage of not exceed
ing three per cent, when such
bonds ought to be sold at par
without brokerage, and the bill
should so provide. Legislation
proposing a special tax should
first have the consent of the ma
jority of those affected before
going into effect. The bill should
have carried a clause submitting
the same to a vote of the people
affected by the proposed i'm
provement.
From the protests before me,
it appears that a majority of
the people in number and one
third of the owners in value are
opposed to the formation of said
Improvement district. The
above justifies my disapproval
and according same is vetoed"
