According to a story published. in John Bull, ,''>a British sporting week 1y, Jack Johnson has declared that his fight with willard in Havana was a. fake and that he did not receive the S50,000 he was promised for laying down. The English paper says last June Johnson began to send cables to money promised him for laying down to Willard. He declared in these ca bles that Willard as a, boxer was a joke and offered to fight him for $25,- 0o0 winner take all.
 One of the cables read, You signed contract to pay me $50,o00 to lay down to Willard, which I did. You never kept your promise. I did. Now you
 must pay according to contract Iiti- gate all you like will put my case before any court and press in the world, The weekly does not state to whom this cable was addressed It will be up to Jess Willard's manager to call Johnson r different kinds of a liar.

Just then there was a new cOmmo-

Pupil's Recital

On Wednesday evening, April z.
Miss Eta Winters piano class gave
another of their pleasing recitals at
the Methodist church.
The S. R. O. sign was displayed
long before the hour set for the
commencement of the recital, and
every person in the audience was
more than satisfied with the per-
formance of the various members of
its instructor.
Where all do we'll it is hard to
make special comment, but practi-
cally all present were unanimous in
pronouncing Miss Maybelle Laking' S
rendition of Moonlight On The
Hudson one Of the best instrument
tai efforts ever heard in Hurley.
Miss Winters work was brilliant
and accurate and she was compelled
to respond to an encore.
The little ones acquitted them
selves and their teacher with credit,
and many a parental heart throbbed
with pride as their little ones toddled
to the platform and rendered their
selections without error or tremor.
We were pleased to be present
and are waiting for the announce
ment Of the next recital.

MRS. METTE MARIE BACH
The Passing of An Aged Mother
and a Humble Tribute to
Her Noble Life

April 6, 1915, Mrs. Mette Marie.
Bach. one of the pioneer women of |
South Dakota, walked smilingly |
down to the edge of the Waters Of
Death. 1t was no hardship, altho
she loved life in her old age as she
did in her youth. She was a hale
woman, with a sunny smile, and
ready laughter, and contagious kind
ness, and warm handshake. There
was about her a wholesome woman 4
| likeness which she carried gracefully
until the very end of her journey,
and which blessed upon the way
many a weary and worn traveller.
Mrs. Bach's life was like unto.
the leaf. touched by the wintry
frost. AS the leaves in the forest
change their tint after the first
blast of the frosty wind deeper and
deeper the flush. until every vein
seems open and bleeding, SO Mrs.
Bach slowly and gradually faded and
passed There WAS no sudden shock
nor jolt. no fierce cannonading of
the batteries of life; just fading
away slowly gradually, AS the
leaf"
Generations must come and they
must go. Next month the cradle of
the wind will rock the young buds
/ in the tree tops. This Fall they
must fade and pass on, making wav
for myriads of others. This is God S
lplan. Bless Him for that! And SO
with human life. Let the blasts
come. therefore. we are giving
h place to others. Mrs. Bach realized
this divine truth, and not for one
moment did she grudge the present
generation, nor the future, their
l places. She had lived aud enjoyed
the world. She wanted Others to
do the same. And as she lived so she
died, cheerfullY and unselfshly.
But God. in His goodness and
mercy, has planned the Universe
wisely, and filled it with sunshine,
and bird song and hope. The leaves
that fell last October blessed the
earth and enriched the soil. And
this Spring the winds are blowing
the resurrection trumpet, and those
leaves are going to rise again into
full bloom and life
And so Mrs Bach passed away
with the certainty of the hope, Be
cause / live, ye shall live also. Z and
we rejoice with her in the reward
which she now is enjoying in the
Mansions which God has prepared
for them that love Him.
Mrs. Bach was born October %,
1888, thus being at the time of her
departure 81 years, 5 months, and
ia days of age. Her husband died
6 years ago. She was the loving
mother of IL children. of whom

general proposition Of building up the the and
county by keeping the money earned upon the farms
in the shops stores and offices circulating within the
territory in which it is earned. Through series Of
ten articles to be published in this space it is hoped
to demonstrate the fact that our business men are
not only entitled to the town and nearby territory
but that this patronage will mean the creation of
civic and community pride and prosperity and ulti-
mately the saving Of dollars and cents to everyone
who is making his or her home within our trade

You will admit at the outset that if it is posi-
bic to prove this, your patronage belongs first to
your home town; and we strongly Of the opinion
that through careful reading of these ten articles

vnced that the local business men can not only give
you much better service, but that for many other

Railway Hearing Continues With Tes
tImony From Fireman Who
Was Surprised.

4 United Press Leased Wire Service ]
CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-Ehorts Of Off
Gals Of ninety-eight western railroads
to demonstrate that systems in vogue
on small roads and which trainmen
favor, cannot be put into effect with
out enormous financial outlay and at
least temporary loss OF efficiency,
were resumed today when the western
wage arbitration hearing reconvened.
d. H. Bremerman, of the Burlington
route, declared that some OF those
rules demanded by trainmen have
ceased to be operative on any road
and that others are operative in west
ern territory, but applied in so small
a milage, compared to the total, as to
be almost negligible. To substitute
such rules, said Bremerman,> on the
roads defending present wages and
syter,s, would affect 100000 miles of
railroad and therefore be impractic-
able.
The trainmen today completed de-
tails for o. F. Modenbach, Rock
Island fireman. to confront Engineer
Thompson on Monday with the story
of a surprise test that resulted in
Thompson breaking his collar bone.
Modenbach said he and Thompson
both Jumped from their cab when they
we're tested" by freight train sud
denly passing them when they thought
both tracks we're clear.
