died at the home of her parents at
Bagley on Aug. 18th, of diabetis. Mrs.

will miss her presence greatly. Miss
Lillian Emery was born at Udolpho,

to George Burch at Burtrum March

were born, Lottie, aged IL, Lester, ag-
ed Z, and Chester, who died few
years ago at the age of three months.
She leaves a husband, one daughter,
one son and a step-son, her parents
and a sister and one brother, who
mourn her death deeply and who were
all at her bedside when she passed
peacefully away. She was woman
who bore her sufferings with great pa
thence. The funeral was held from
the Congregational church at Bagley
on Friday and the remains were ten
derby laid to rest in the cemetery neal
by. The grief stricken families have
deep sympathy extended them from

tive, he reached the river first, al
most sprang out of his clothes, ran
out on a log and dove off as he had
done many times before. This time,
however, he struck large stone, of
which there are many in the river,
and although his boy friends awaited
his return to the surface, they never
saw him alive again. His bruised and
dead body was recovered about an
hour later several feet below the log
from which he dove. The grief
brought to bear upon his heartbroken
father and little sister is almost un-
speakable, his being the third death
in the family during the last three
months. Three boys in breathless
haste brought word to his shocked
father and the news of his drowning
spread rapidly. Many FASTENED to the
spot where the boys had gone swim
ming and after a short search his
body was found. Upon examination it
was found that his neck was broken
and doubtless he died instantly. Nor

uary 10, 1907, in Gary, S. D., his IA

is survived by a little sister, Thelma,

 Travel literature has been enriched by a new volume-"The Real United States and Canada Guide Book" by Will liam Harman Black
 This volume fits snugly in the pocket CT hand bag and is designed especially to meet the requirements of those making either short or long journey to or from practically any point on the map whether by rail or water.
 MT. Black has condensed a weath of n- dispensable information for those who want to travel intelligently and economze both time and money. Besides, other val uabe data the distances between various points are given and the length of time re- quired to go from place to place, together with the rail and sleeping car fares tsteamer fares wherever vessels ply) are all arranged in a manner which seems to be simplicity itself so far as concerns getting at the actual information one usually wants.

Italy's Navy

From Tit-Bits.
 It is a fact of which few people are aware that 30 years ago Italy's yards were turning out battleships 2000 tons larger than anything in the British fleet and arming them with the heav- lest guns ever put on a man of war. Moreover, Italy has the distinction of producing the man in whose mind tho dreadnaught type was first evolved the late Signor Cunibertt-who actual iy sketched a design which was a good forecast of the Queen Elizabeth.
 Italy's first dreadnaught, the Dante Alighiere, was laid down In the sum mer of 1909. and completed in throe years. She was the first warship in the world to have her guns mounted on the triple turret system.
 Following the Dante, five larger and more Powerful ships were laid down. These vessels are all good for a speed of 23 knots, though their armor Is comparatively light, having a maxi mum thickness of 9% inches amid ships Their broadside fire is 11,050 pounds of metal as compared with the Iron Dukes 14,000 pounds and the Queen Elizabeths 15,400 pounds
 Altogether the Italian navy includes 25 vessels. all of which are chased as battleships. Italy also possesses four old armored ships, eight light cruisers. six older light cruisers of small value, nine old gunboats. between 30 and 40 oestroyers. about 40 torpedo boats (ex- cluding old vessels), and 19 subma- rines, of which probably a dozen are efficient. The fighting strength of the Italian navy, excluding the crews of destroyers. torpedo boats and subma- lines, is 37.500 officers and men.
 Austria has only three dreadnaughts, as compared with Italys six. In pre- dreadnaught battieshlps Austria en- joys numerical superiority of 12 ships to eight, but six of the Austrian ves- sells displace less than 10000 tons and none of them have heavier guns than the 9.4-inch. Italy again scores in re- gard to predreadnaught armored cruis- CTS. of which class she has nine ships 10 Austria's two. Ten light cruisers, 19 destroyers, 80 torpedo boats (many of which are very old), and 14 subma- rines complete the Austrian navy. which is manned by 19.0o0 officers and men, excluding those on destroyers, torpedo boats and submarines.

 THE TREASURE OF HIDDEN VAL
 LEY"
 By Willis George Emerson. Forbes &
 Co., Publishers, Chicago.
 By his latest romance The Treasure of Hidden Valley" Willis George Finer son gains place among the foremost writers of American fiction. Previous novels from his pen. notably "Buell Hamp- tom and 'The Builders" have already secured for him wide circle of readers. But this new and fascinating story must be read by everyone who wishes to know, not merely Wyoming where most of the action takes place, but America of the West It Is a graphic picture of the real west, which Willis George Emerson knows thoroughly.
 mere IS no DOCK more Iull ol lypiIdl pictures of western life and of striking portraits of typical western men and wom- en. Among notable scenes and incidents may be mentioned the frontier day cele- bration with it's stirring bull-dogging and broncho-busting episodes, deer hunting and river fishing among the hills, stage driving and snow sledding fight between cowboys and sheepmen, a fiercely parti- sar political gathering, a clearing out of boodling mine directors of a great smelt- ing plant, treasure seeking in the rugged fastnesses of the high Sierras, and a great snowslide that thunders down the noun tains and leaves in it's wake both sorrow and righteous retribution. And all these varied happenings are skillfully woven into love story of enthralling interest and eliminating dramatic power.
 The plot starts out with quest for a lost mine. but this issue before long becomes of subsidiary importance to the intensely human story that gradually unfolds itself and brings into action almost every passion, noble and ignoble, by which mankind Is swayed.
 It is a real story, told with a power that grips, and an understanding of men and motives at once yirile and tolerant. It is one of the most interest ing novels of the year.
