EUROPE WILL RISE RAPIDLY FROM
THE ASHES OF WAR, IS PREDICTION
Demobilizing Great Armies, Restarting Machin-
cry and Collecting Threads Of Commerceto
Be In Earnest

break off the barnacles of the mid
Victorian period and again look upon
work, trade and commerce as praise
worthy rather than pitiable. Eng
land has many beautiful estates with
much idle ground A great many of
these estates will be sold because the
owners cannot afford to hold them.
Thus, much land heretofore idle will
become agricultural ground, used in
the real interests of life Many
young men who had uninteresting
posts have Joined the army and got
a taste of fresh air and sunshine
which they will have difficulty in for
getting. Those posts now must be
made attractive and remunerative.
Probably large number of these
young men will turn to newer coun-
tries: Canada, Australia, South Afri-
, ca. The United States will get her
large share, but Europe will strive to
keep the best men. | don't believe
the young man whose head is full of
brains and whose body is full of
good red blood will be content to con-
, tinue on the old, somewhat feudal
basis which existed in parts of this
portion of the world before the war.
| England is recognizing for the first
| time in fifty years that commerce is
the most necessary branch of activi-
ty in building up the state. | think the
f. terms of final settlement of this war
will have much to do with possible
trading among themselves of the ma
tions now at war. Many people feel
that the public never again will buy
German made article. Others feel
| that trading again must begin be-
! tween Germany and Great Britain
after the settlement, to a greater or
/ lesser extent depending on the man
ner in which the final treaty is drawn
England may adopt protective tar
iff, taking the matter out of politics
Before the war, the issue of protec-
) ton was nearly dead, but with the
new industries springing up there
will be a feeling that they should be,
at least for period, protected from
| lower priced continental labor. Amer
lea could manufacture for the Euro
pean market but has not during the
last year and a-half manifested any
great desire Ito do it, or taken any
serious steps toward it, with few
exceptions. America has not yet
quite learned the science of export
business. 1t is difficult for a CONNER
cial community to develop the intri-
cate export business where the ele-
ments of trading arc unfamiliar Great
Britain certainly will make herself
greater export nation after the war
than she was before Much of the
old spirit of "let-well- enough alone"
and getting enough to live on and
than getting out of business will have
levapOrated.

REV. HARRY FISHER, MINISTER IN ST. JAMES,
. ACCIDENTALLY SHOT HIMSELF WITH rifle
Distressing Tragedy Occurred In the
Home Of the Popular Young Clergy
man At About Nine O'clock This
Morning

Struck down in the midst of his
distressing accident, Rev. Harry
Fisher, pastor of the Presbyterian
church at st. James, Mimi, came to
an untimely end shortly after nine
o'clock this morning.
Rev. Fisher had been taking a
rifle apart in the kitchen of his home
In some way the weapon was dis
charged and the bullet entered his
left breast, piercing either the heart
or some large blood vessel near the
heart.
The victim was still quite a young
man, being but thirty-five years old
but he was well recognized as an
able, energetic minister, one who
built up the power of his church, in
terested the young people in the
church activities and made himself
exceedingly popular. 1t was he who
preached the sermon at the funeral
of the late Governor Winfield Scott
Hammond.
Was to Have Conducted Funeral
Rev Fisher was to have conducted
the funeral of Mrs. Mamie Wigton
Latourell of Mountain Lake at ten
o'clock this morning. This was just
an hour after the sad accident hap
pened.
He, purchased the rifle yesterday
1t was one of 22-calibre. He had
been greatly troubled with rats at
tacking his hens and the little chicks
that he sought to raise, and he
bought the weapon for the purpose
of exterminating the rodents.
Early this morning he went out
into the back yard and managed to
shoot quite a number of rats. 1t
seems that the gun was not working
just right AT all events he took it
into the kitchen, and, though un-
familiar with the workings of the
instruments, he proceeded to take it
apart. He detached the stock from
The Mankato free press., 1916-04-28

the barrel, but did not take the
plunger off, 1t is presumed that he
was bending over the barrel, wher
in some way, the plunger discharged
a cartridge which took effect in his
breast.
Walked to Neighbors
Though badly hurt he managed tc
walk out of the house and to the
back door of a neighbor, Mrs. Ger
trude Deputy. There he raped and
as Mrs. Deputy opened the door, he
collapsed. Mrs. Deputy saw in an
instant that something terrible had
happened and she sent her sister
Mrs. Charles Mutt, to the home OF
another neighbor, George Sharp, to
summon aid. Thence several doctors
were notified by telephone.
After Rev. Fisher had been at the
Deputy home for a few minutes, he
revived, and asked Mrs. Deputy tC
assist him into his own house As
she was helping him over, and about
half the distance to his own door
had been made, he again collapsed
However, with the assistance of sew
eral men who had gathered round
he was taken to his home, where ne
soon afterwards died.
The first physician to get to the
side of the stricken man was Dr..
Harry Rowe Rev. Fisher passed away
without making any explanation of
how he was hurt.
Mrs. Fisher was not at home. She
was at Candy, where she went a
week ago to visit Mrs. Fisher is an
invalid. She was notified of her hus-
bands death.
Rev. and Mrs. Fisher had no chill
dren. He is survived by a brother,
living in Illinois.
Coroner d. A. Thompson was nOti-
fed of the unfortunate occurrence,
After looking into the circumstances,
he decided that it was clearly case
of accidental death.

WeIl-known Travelling ManWas
Stricken BY Death Late
Last Night
From Frlday's CaiIy.

From Frlday's caiIv.
Walter w. BeSser, who has been
at st. Joseph's hospital for almost
three weeks following an operation
for a severe attack of appendicitis,
passed away very suddenly last night
at 11:10, his death coming as sor-
rowful shock to his relatives, Man.
kate friends, and all those with
whom his many years spent in this
locality as travelling salesman for
the Mankato Fruit Commission COM
pany had brought him in contact.
Mr.. BesSer had been in good health
apparently, and was making his us
ual trip to Currie, Mimi, when he
was taken quite i'll, and removed to
this city, undergoing an operation
for an acute case of appendicitis,
the appendix having burst before it
was possible TO get surgical atten
tion.
Was Reported to Be RalIying.
The operation was performed at
st. Joseph's hospital on April 2, and
ing nicely. Although his illness was
considered very serious bright hopes
were entertained for his recovery,
and his physician stated this week
that he would no doubt be able to
be removed to his home in about ten
days
Up to ten o'clock last night the
patient continued TO show signs of
improvement, and the crisis was
considered past, anxiety as to the
outcome of his illness was abated,
and plans had been made for a
happy Eastertide, when he might
greet some of the old friends who
were anxiously inquiring about him
from day TO day. But the plans of
the Omnipotent One are inscrutable,
and death came in the night, claim
ing one of the noblest of men before
any of his relatives or devoted
friends could be summoned to his
bedside. Shortly before eleven o'clock
his condition took a turn for the
worse, and his devoted wife was
summoned, who arrived just after he1
husband had breathad his last. and
before one farewell word could be ut
tered
Was Popular Gentleman.
Many inquiries, constantly received
at his home in the Security Flats,
at the Mankato Fruit House, where
he made his business headquarters
and by his doctor and the nurses at
the hospital, testified to the popu-
larity of Mr.. Besser, who was de-
scribed by his friends and compan
ions as prince among men," He was
very well known in this vicinity, hav-
ing Travelled over this territory fol
the past seventeen years in, the in
terests OF the fruit business. His pa
irons were among his sincerest
friends, and their frequent inquiries
as to his condition are an evidence
of the warm human friendship which
people who knew Mr.. Besser always
felt for him. Honest and upright in
all his dealings, and with the
staunchest and most honorable ol
business principles, he was man
whose word could always be relied
upon, and his business associates
knew him for the most dependable
of men.
In fraternal circles he will be es
pecially missed, as he was a popu-
lar member of several organizations
being past exalted ruler of the Order
of Elks, secretary and treasurer OF
the United Commercial Travellers
and a member of the Masonic or
