The British and French allies should make super human ef. fort to get to the relief of the Servian army. To permit the German, Austrian and Bulga- rian hordes to overrun the brave little army of Servia, would be nothing less than an outrage.

The general impression which prevails all over the U. S., to
 day. IS that President Wilson should succeed himself as Presi
 dent of the United States, and the reason for this is that he is the most capable man of the times to successfully manage the
 affairs of our government, dur ing those days of bIood-shed and strife, and to steer us safely out of trouble and all entangling al
 dances. While we add our hearty and cordial amen to this opinion, we beg leave to suggest that 1t is also of equal import. ance to keep in Congress men of known integrity, men who have been tried and never found want. ing. Men who have ever stood by the President and his admin. istration policies. Having done so in the past 1t is reasonable to suppose they will remain stead. fast and true in the future. By returning men, like these, to Congress we take no chances; and in these perilous and un- stable times, when a fre-brand
 might cause a hideous and des. solating conflagration, the peo- pie should act with care and cir. cumspection in backing up the President in his great and grand efforts to keep our land in peace and good will with the whole world. To succeed in this our President must be backed by a congress in sympathy with him.

The English threa tened retal. iation upon German towns, be cause of Zeppelin raids on Lon. don. Talk less and act more is lesson that old England should learn. We should dislike very much to burn down a mans home, but if 1t were the only way our own could be saved we would do 1t. If flying over Germany and dropping incen
 diary bombs will stop Germany from perpetrating such outrages on England, then England has a reasonable excuse for doing so.

Killed By Jumping From Auto.

Canton-Elmer, the four year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. G.. w.
Erbes of this place, was killed
Thursday afternoon under rather
peculiar circumstances. He and
his older brother were riding o n
the running board of an automo-
bile belonging to and driven by
Mozart S6artvedt. They had
been playing around the ice
house where Mr.. Startvedt had
gone for some ice, and as he had
to pass the Erbes home, he of
fered to let the children ride,
saying he would stop and let
them Off. AS he reached the
house, he slowed up, but before
he could stop. both the Erbes
boys jumped, the younger one
striking his head on the ground
so hard that concussion of the
brain resulted, death following
shortly after.

Child Thrown From Train.

Fearing that her h us b II d
would be killed before she could
reach him, drove Straeiotto Lu-
gia, a Swiss woman, violently in
sane Tuesday and she hurled
her 2-year-old child from the
window of the Milwaukee's S
Olympian tlier three miles east
of Bowdle while the train was
speeding forty five miles an hour.
Passengers crowded around
the woman and prevented her
from throwing her other child,
nine months old, through the
same window. The train was
stopped and when the crew pick.
ed up the child it was crying but
apparently not fatally hurt. How
the child escaped without being
instantly killed is regarded as a
miracle.
The woman was on her way
from Elk River, Idaho, to New
York, where she intended to
join her husband, who left the
United States several months
ago. She is now in the custody
of authorities at Aberdeen

Fatal Accident of Little Girl

A sad accident occurred at the
August Bladow home northeast t
of this city Tuesday morning
when their little year old
daughter, Lizzie, fell into vat
of boiling soap and was burned
so badly that she died last even
ing from her injuries.
Playing near a large kettle of
boiling soft soap, the little one in
some manner lost her balance
and plunged into the hot mix
ture. DR.. Mcdonnell was sum-
moned and did what he could to
relieve her sufferings, but the
burns we're too severe and she
passed away 36 hours after the
accident occurred.
The parents are almost frantic
with grief, although no blame
can be attached to anyone for
the unfortunate accident. -

cinity of Minneapolis for num-
b er of years. When the Sisse-

secured a good farm and has
been a resident here ever since
Mr.. Euglund was man of
strong character and honest con-
yictions, the type of man which
is always needed in a new coun.
try, where hardships and self
denial are required in the trans
formation of the wilderness to

Wheaton on April 18th, under
the auspices of the 10. 0. r.
Lodge of which he had been a
member for many years. White

PRISONER CON-
MITS SUICIDE
Took Heroic Steps to End
His imprisonment.

A. G.. Helm, serving four wears
in the penitentiary, terminated
his term of imprisonment Tues
day morning when he leaped
head foremost into one of the
machines used in the twine plant
and was instantly killed.
1t was between and 10 o'clock
when the men were busy with
their work, when Helm turned
to one of his fellow workmen
and simply remarked, Here I
60" With no further warming
he leaped into the machinery
and the top of his head was
ground to pieces and he receiv-
ed other injuries to the arms and
upper part of his body before
the machinery could be stopped.
Coroner Trepanier and Sheriff
Carleton were notified and they
both visited the scene of the
bloody tragedy. While there is
no question as to Helm having
committed suicide Coroner Ire
panier decided that an inquest
was necessary to keep the re-
cords straight and A. j. Yeager,
Lewis Koehler and a. S. Pad
dock were summoned as jurors
and the hearing took place on
Wednesday.
Helm was convicted of the
charge of manslaughter in STAN
ley county and was sentenced to
four years in the penitentiary
and had only been an inmate of
that institution matter ofweeks
when he committed the rash act
which ended his life.
For some time past he had
Deen acClnB gfOuchy ana some
of the fellow prisoners and the
guards thought the brooding
over his Imprisonment was af-
fecting his mind. However a
letter was found which he aimed
to send to his wife, who lives in
Iowa, which indicates that his
actions were part of his plan
to secure his freedom. He sug-
gested in the letter to his wife if
he could get transferred to the
asylum at Yankton he could
easily make his escape.
His wife has been notified of
his tragic death.-Argus Leader,
