members of the family at her bedside

whose health she thought more about

February. when she fell in the White

MELROSE.
From the Beacon.

1t was with sorrow and regret that
the people Of Melrose learned of the
death of Mrs. VIM. Atkinson, nee
Campbell, which occurred at the home
Of her father, DR.. j. E. Campbell,
Monday evening, April 27. For two
weeks Mrs. Atkinson had been in poor
health and under medical attention,
but it was expected she would event.
ually regain her usual good health.
The first of the week she had gone
over to her fathers, her husband be-
ing out of town on business trip, and
as she looked ill her parents persuad-
ed her to remain with them over
night. During the night she was TAX
en- with severe vomiting spells which
terminated in her death. DR.. j. j.
Lewis of Sank Centre was called in
consultation last Thursday and again
on Monday, but medical skill was of
no avail. Lucy Evangeline Campbell
Atkinson was born Sept. 3, 1889. Six
weeks before her death she was unit
ed in marriage to William Atkinson of
this city, and scarcely was the new
home established when it was broken
up by the death of the young wife.
Besides the husband and father four
sisters and three brothers are left to
mourn.

ALEXANDRIA.
From the POst-NeWs.


George Sexton was fatally injured
by Great Northern train shortly
after ten o'clock Monday morning.
On reaching the station the crew of
the east-bound local, arriving at 11:2S
reported the body of man lying be-
side the track short distance above
the lake Darling bridge. The train had
stopped and on examining the body
the crew supposed the man was dead
and reported accordingly. On exam
ination by the section men however, it
was found that Sexton was still alive.
He was taken to the home of Sam
Peterson who lives a short distance
north, and DR.. Haskell and relatives
notified. DR.. Ruud was sent out and
found the man unconscious from his
injuries. The skull was badly frac-
tured, one place permitting view of
the brain. Sheriff Kent went out and
brought the injured man to the hospi-
tai where he died during the night.
The manner in which Sexton received
his injuries is mystery which prob
ably never will be solved. At the time
of his death he was working for S. J..
Wedin who lives several miles up the
track in LeGrand. Sexton came to
town Monday morning to get an ak
and some other choppers tools repair
ed. He wa sseen going toward the
Great Northern tracks about ten
o'clock. 1t is supposed that he board
ed the way freight which left the
yards going west at about that time.
He was a single man and at times he
lived alone mile or SO up the road.
1t is supposed that he intended to go
to his work and jumped from the
train and fell. From the manner of his
injuries he could not have been run
down it is thought. The body was
found with the head lying near the
ties and the body extending outward.
There was no indication of struggle.

LIFE IS ALWAYS DYING.
And Just as Soon as We Cease Dying
We Cease to Live.

And Just as Soon as We Cease Dying
We Cease to Live.
Living is a continuous process Of dy-
ing. When we cease to die we cease
to live. One can readily understand
this by means of very concrete ex-
ample. Suppose you arise some cold
morning and find the fire in your fur
mace has gone out" 1t will do no
good to utter malicious invectives
against the poor furnace. Just philoso-
phize as follows: MY furnace has
ceased to die. In other words, it has
ceased to consume that very expensive
article called coal. The continual con-
sumption of coal is fire or life in the
furnace. When the consumption or
dying ceased the fire or life ceased"
Accordingly you proceed to make the
furnace "die" some more.
What is true of the furnace is true
Of ourselves. All organic life exists In
a state of continuous decomposition
and rebuilding or continuous state Of
dying and living. AS soon as decom-
position ceases reconstruction ceases,
or, in common terms, as soon as we
cease dying we cease living. Certain
poisons, If swallowed by a human be-
ing. destroy life by annihilating the
decomposing or dying process which
is necessary for life. When they enter
the system a chemical compound is
formed which resists decomposition.
Upon examination of the dead body it
will be found that putrefaction does
not take place. With these poisons in
the body there is no process Of dying;
hence there is no life.
The same truth holds in regard to
our mental and moral existence. If
we cease to struggle or think and are
content to live purely animal life the
activity of our brain powers quickly
ceases and we are mentally dead.
Struggle. action. aspiration. is dying,
but it means living Introduce the pol
son of vice and there is cessation OF
mental life as fatal as that caused to
the body by arsenic.-New York Amer

county, state and people. Were we
not to do so we could hardly expect
to secure and retain the respect and
retain the confidence of our readers
even for the news department of the
papers. So, then, we do not trans
gress upon the rights of anyone by
our individual opinion. We have IN
vestigated the question of the candi-
dacy of the present executive and his
opponent, Mr.. VIM. E. Lee, and we
shall stick by the present administra-
ton because Of the fact that in so far
as we have been able to learn, con-
ditions complained of will be infinitely
worse should Mr.. Lee succeed in be-
coming chief executive of the state.
Mr.. Lee builds his campaign plat
form upon foundation of anti-ma-
chine propaganda, yet in order to ge:
even a start into the field he resorts to
steam roller methods that are almost
without precedent in the state. Pre-
vious to the elimination convention
Mr.. Lee had his emissaries securing
all parts of the state in search OF dele
gates to attend the convention. Two
such gentlemen personally called upon
the editor of the Record and attempt
ed to induce him to assist in securing
Lee delegation from Becker county.
Mr.. Lee, being a wealthy man, could
easily afford to do this; but Messrs.
Peterson, Iverson and Elwell only re-
allied when it was too late that
there were other machines besides
that whose ownership is accredited to
Governor Eberhart. AS a matter of
fact, the intelligent voter readily re-
allies that all this talk about mach
ine' and 'anti-machine- is the veriest
bunco, for under our form of govern
ment the office-seeker who has no Or
ganization or machine has about as
much chance of being elected as a
peanut. So, while Mr.. Lee cries anti
machine at the top Of his voice, he
opens up with one of the most perfect
working pieces of mechanism the
state has ever seen. 1t doesn't look
good to US and we shall refuse to fol-
low this will-o-the-wisp merely he
cause of it's deceptive label.
