From Ice Tongs, Resulting
In Blood Poisoning

f. f. Bentley, of Lennon,
died at ll:30 o'clock Monday
night, after a brief illness of
about four days, leaving a wild
ow and five small children.
Mr., Bentley who was work
ing with the ice gang on the re
servoir north of Lennon, har-
vesting ice for Walter Lawyer,
injured his right leg on Thurs
day last.
He paid no particular atten-
tion to the injury, more than to
bind it up in the ordinary way.
The wound became infected
however, and on the following
day was very painful. Medical
aid was not summoned though
until Sunday, and by that time
the right leg was swollen twice
its normal size, and it was too
late for amputatiOn. Serum was
injected but with little or no ef-
feet and the end came Monday
night.
The funeral was held from
the Presbyterian Church on
Thursday afternoon at 2:3O
clock, Rev. Martin Hyink
officiating.
A number Of out Of town rela-
tives were summoned and those
who attended were l.. ID. Bent
ley, Of Isabel; A. A. Bently, Of
Lacrosse; Mrs. and II. W. Bent
ley, of Canada, brothers; Mrs.
|. NJ. Abbott, Of Watkins, Mimi,
an aunt; Roy and Mercy. also of
Watkins and cousins, and James
Mack, of battle-ground, Wash,
father Of Mrs. Bentley.
Edwin Ether Bentley was
born in Meeker County, MINI,
on July A, 1869. On October 9,
1899, he was married to Miss
Ethelwyn Mack, to which union
were born five children, Eta,
Earnest, Alphus, Verda and
Amy, all of whom are living.
He is also survived by a mother,
Mrs. Mary Bentley, and four
brothers, one, Earnest &. being
a resident of Lennon, the others
living at the places above named.
The deceased settled on a
homestead near Liberty, n. d.,
in 1903, where they have made
their home continuously since.
His sudden death is severe
blow to his wife and children
and great shock to the COM
munity who deeply sympathize

Snow in New York City.

New York, Feb. 1S.-With an army
of $4,000 men the New York street
cleaning department continued its
work on the mass of snow that has
blocked the streets since Saturday.
Large gangs were kept busy all night,
with the result that something near
normal conditions were restored on
the main line of travel.
The total snowfall Saturday and
Monday was 14.9 inches.
j. T. Fetherstone, street cleaning
commissioner, estimates that two
weeks will be required to remove the
snow. He estimated that the cost to
the city would be about 100000.

After the election Of officers,
speeches were called for from
all the outgoing and incoming
officials which brought out many
good suggestions and produced
considerable fun.
The prospects for the future
Of the Club are very bright in
deed and we believe that all Of
the newly elected officers are
fully alive to the needs of our
city and community and will
bend every effort to secure any
thing and every thing that will
benefit US.
One particular proposition of
merit is a resolution which was
passed, to the effect that all fu-
ture petitions to be circulated
for popular subscription for any
purpose whatsoever, must first
have the stamp Of approval of
the Board of Directors, this will
assure our citizens in the future,
when they are solicited for funds;
and the petition bears the Board
of Directors approval, that the
matter has been investigated
and found to be worthy of their
support.

Good Basket Ball Game
Hettinger High School Girls, VS.
Lennon High School Girls,
Results In Tie Score asa

Last Friday evening the Het-
finger girls met the Lennon
girls at the Armory in the best
game ever seen here. Both
teams exerted themselves to
the limit from the sound of the
whistle and were never idle for
moment thereafter.
Lennon made the first score
on a free throw. while the Het-
finger girls succeeded in making
the first field basket, and the
first half ended A to l in favor of
Hettinger. The Hettinger team
were possibly the more finished
players and showed better team
work, but were not the equals of
their opponents in ruggedness
and endurance, which worked
considerably TO their disadvantage
in the last half, when the ac-
cepted standard of basket ball
tactics were forgotten or not
deemed sufficient, and the game
resolved itself into a go-as-you-
please affair, with the long end
of the argument going to the
Lemmonites.
At the end of the last half the
score was 6 to 6. 1t was then
stipulated that the game continue
until another basket was made.
A double foul occurred shortly
after play was resumed and
Margaret NesbiIt was successful
IN throwing for Lennon while
lille Buechler failed for Het-
tlnger. Contrary to the rules,
this was accepted by both sides
as a winning score for Lennon
until some one looked up the
rules and found that two points
must be made to decide d tie
II this is correct, the game is un-
finished rather than tie, with
the score standing Z to 6 in favor
OF Lennon. But in as much as
the Hettinger Umpire decided
the game as won by Lennon
the incident will no doubt be
considered closed.
Florence Haughton and Flo
renee Raberge were the star
performers for Hettinger. while
the Nesbitt sisters were tn e
leaders of the Lennon team.

crobes in salt water which can, of
course, take up their abode In the hair.
The very best treatment for hair AT

from the water to take the Juice Of a

boiling water. When sufficiently cool
saturate the head with It and dry with
warm towels. In ten minutes rinse off
with warm water.
Shampoo the hair frequently, using
the yolk of an egg we'll beaten with q
cupful or not water and twenty drops
Of the spirits Of rosemary. Rub this
INTO the scalp and after ten minutes
rinse with warm water and dry.
When inconvenient to shampoo brush
the hair well and use the following
scalp wash.
Extract OF witch hazel, one pint:
eau de cologne. eight ounces; chloro-
form, three drains.
This treatment will cleanse and make
the hair soft glossy and fluffy.
In some cases the scalp becomes ex-
tremely dry and the hair wiry and
brittle when exposed to the salt air.

Care OF Hair at Seash0re

IN speaking on hair culture recently

IN speaking on hair culture recently
an authority remarked:
1T Is a singular fact, but most peo-
pie. even those who are acoustic med to
give the hair every attention other
wise, seem to be absolutely careless of
their locks while staying at the sea-
shore. while, as a matter of fact, more
there than can be remeded in six, sup
posing the hair is neglected."
1t Is a well known fact that in the
autumn the hair falls out more freely
than at any other season of the year;
consequently one should really give the
hair greater attention for some weeks
previously and so prevent wholesale
shedding.
Before entering the surf It is a good
plan 10 place wet sponge at the back
