Boy Nearly Drowned.

Freddie Coxey, son of Mr. and Mrs.
John Coxey Of the Garmania Hill, had
a narrow escape from drowning Mon
day noon while skating on Lake Law
ma. He had become the owner OF a new
pair Of skates and Monday morning
went out to Lake Lavina to try them
out and while skating some distance
from shore broke through. He was
alone at the time but his frantic cries
for help were heard by residents of
the Germania Hill. Alex Nelson was
at home and upon being informed that
a boy had broken through the ice and
was in danger of drowning hurried to
the scene and with the aid of a plank
braved the dangers of himself break
ing through and after some difficulty
rescued the young man, who was hang
ing on to the edge of the ice where he
broke through. He was taken to his
home and through the work Of recusi-
tatlon was brought back to lite al
though unconscious when rescued, and
after time was none the worse off
for his trying experience. 1t is re-
markable that the young man could
survive such long period of being in
the icy water and Mr.. Nelson deserves
praise for his Yood work IN rescuing
the lad.

.FARMFRS' INSTITUTE
FAIRLY WELL ATTENDED
Instructive Addresses by Good Speak
ers. High School Chorus at
Thursdays Session.

The second farmers institute for Hur-
ley was held Thursday and Friday of
this week and while the attendance
was not what it should have been there
was fair attendance of farmers. busi-
ness men and others interested in agri-
culture. The lack of attendance was
the more marked at the morning ses-
sions, but this was more than made up
for at the evening sessions. On Thurs
day evening rousing good meeting
was held at the court house. The even
ing 5 program opened with selections
by the high school chorus, and this help
ed materially to make the evening s
program entertaining as we'll as instruc
tive. Conductor E. Nordman delivered
an excellent address and one that was
replete with food for thought. The
gist of his remarks referred to the
black to the farm movement, and
Mr.. Nurdman handled his address in a
way that demonstrated that he was
thoroughly familiar with the subject
at hand. During the course of his re-
marks he said that it was to be deplor-
ed that so many people leave the farm
for the lure of city life and cited in
stances and gave facts showing that
those residing on farms are better off
from the standpoint of worldly goods
than those who have taken up their re-
sidence in the cities.
While there has been an apparent
lack of interest in the farmers insti-
tute just held among a good many in
dividuals and sections of the county it
can not be gainsaid that a great deal
of good is going to result to those who
did attend the sessions. 1t is from
hearing such speakers as Mr.. NoTdman
and his assistants that the farmers
and others can absorb information
which is going to help i'll making big
ger and better farms and bringing the
public in general in closer touch with
the tillers of the soil

south pole, who was in Chicago last
night.

tho It is horrible. We know, OF
course. that 1t happened about tho
seventy-nint parallel and that they
were down on tine barrier and not on
tho plateau and just about there our
positive knowledge stops.
Certainly they were exhausted and
starving. It may be that they had
some scurvy among them-who can
say? At any rate they were not IN
fit condition to meet the blizzard
when it came.

Tho Terra Nova. the vessel which
took Captain Robert r. Scott to the
Antarctic and which returned there ID

news OF the heroic death OF him ana
his companions. arrived in this port
this morning.
Details Of the disaster in which Caps.
tain Scott and four OF his men per@
ished in the Antarctic were brought III
special dispatches to the Central News
Service. Probably realizing that his
and fuel were both exhausted, Captain
Scott inserted in his dairy:
"A message to the public"
In this he declared that the disasteA
was not due to faulty organizations but
to misfortune.
1t appears from the dispatches that
Captain Oates evidently set out alone
from tho tent in which the four men
had all but sucoumbed TO starvation
and exhaustion. He declared 70 his
comrades that he would set out nimseIr
and did not know when he would como
