THE WARNING NOTE.

Commenting on the recent au-
tomobile tragedy in Jackson the
Montgomery, Ala, Advertiser,
one of the foremost newspapers
of the south says:
"Why will men persist in the
folly of attempting to run auto
mobiles faster than trains, espec-
tally when the machine is cross
ing a railroad track? Why will
men ignore the warning that
comes up from scores Of graves
and hospitale to heed the sign at
the crossing: Stop! Look! Lis
ten !!
The automobile is more indie
pendent than the train. 1t can
stop more quickly, It has the
advantage of being able to see
the train better than the engineer
to see the automobile. The auto
mobile driver can hear the train
more easily than the engineer can
hear the automobile. Nothing on
earth is to be gained by beating
the train, bat everything may be
lost"
Until the public awakens to a
realization OF the plain truth told
in the above paragraphs we will
continue to have tragedies.
If you own an automobile, also
remember that you are the custo-
lian of a human life.

I oS, sir, SalQ MIS-. .. GIltIlCo,

wonderful remedy on earth. and
I know full we'll that this Won

slow and horrible death.
Il was down and out with in
digestion and stomach trouble for
nine years. I was troubled with

awful trouble came on me. bat
my weight went down to ITO

doc or in reach until got so that
i could not travel, and then
bought every medicine that |
could hear of. None of them did
me one bit of good, and | grew
worse every day. | was just a
trouble to my people, and they
spent all that they could make
buying me medicine, which was
Just like pouring it in a rat hole
so far as doing me any good was
concerned. My attention was
finally called to Ferraline by
many of my neighbors, some OF
which had used it for mild at
tacks of indigestion with fine re-
suits, however all Of my neigh
bors did not think that Ferrallne
would raise me as quick as it did.
II consulted my doctor, and ne
said that it could not do any harm,
as there was nothing in it to harm
II at once sent and got a bottle
lof Ferraline, and much to my
surprise the very first dose gave
me some relief, and before | had
finished the first bottle | was out
| of bed and was walking all over
the place, Ferraline gave me
such an appetite that | was actu,
ally afraid | would kill myself
eating for could not get enough
to eat, and strange to say had
| no bad after effects, for right
after | finished eating | would
take my dose of Ferraline and |
would never feel the effects.
II kept taking Ferraline until
| l have used FIVE bottles, and |
am now as we'll as | ever was,
and I can truthfully say that this
Wonderful Compound saved my

Criticism is a medicine that
sometimes kills, but often cures.
1t cured Lord Byron of some of
his early foibles and lordly con-
ceit. and it is said to have killed
John Keats, an over-sensltlve
young poet. But taken as a
whole, criticism is a good thing
if wisely directed and properly
administered. 1t corrects errors,
cultivates taste, and conducts

THE KINGS DAUGHTERS.

On account of the high price
of paper of all kinds our federal
secretary of commerce, Redfeld,
has urged people everywhere to
save old rags, newspapers, wrap
ping papers, magazines, ETC., and
sell them to manufacturers for
use in making paper. The profit
on a car load of such stuff runs
into the hundreds of dollars.
The Kings daughters of Vicks-
burg are trying to collect a car
load, proceeds of the sale Of
which will be used for the relief
of the poor of Vicksburg.
The Kings Daughters have
asked the assistance of the peo-
pie of Brandon and the under
signed committee are trying to
gather a hogshead full of old ma
terial. This is to appeal to our
generous public for old paper and
rags. The hogshead is now at
Barnes store and everybody is
invited to leave donations there.
When the hogshead is full it will
be shipped to Vicksburg..

BABY, SOLE SURVIVOR OF FAMI-
LY, GETS $4,000.

The Standard Oil Company has
effected settlement with the sole sur
viving member of the Harry Howe
family of Kiester, baby boy of six
months, whose parents lost their lives in
fire caused by the explosion of gasoline
at their home at Walters, east of Blue
Earth short time ago. Speaking of the
case the Albert Lea Tribune says:
AFTER thorough investigation of
causes leading to the explosions, it was
found that the cans containing what was
supposed to be only kerosene in reality
contained mixture cfgasoline and that
some supply house lad made serious
mistake in delivering the stuff to GUS
toners. The Standard Oil people paid
over the sum of $4,000, which will be
kept in, trust for the Howe baby, and
to Bert Howe, brother of Harry Howe
! they gave the sum of 81, 1000. Bert was
most terribly burned in his herioc efforts
to save the lives of Mr.. and Mrs. Howe
His condition is not serious however, fol
he is recovering from the effects of the
burns

STORM AT TRACY, SUMMER
WEATHER IN NEW ULM.

Reports from Tracy Monday were to
the effect that snowstorm was raging
in that vicinity and that the train service
probably would be crippled as a con-
sequence for several days. AT the time
the news was received in this city, New
Ulm was basking in the sunshine and
enjoying the finest kind of spring
weather.
While the news of the storm may have
scared the railroad officials to some ex-
tent, it seems that the trains were held
an unnecessary length of time at Sleepy
Eye to give the storm a chance to blow
over. From other sources than railroad
circles comes the story that the crews on
the trains held at Sleepy Eye had al
ready put in as much time as is allowed
under the state law and that the occasion
for the delay was to give these men a
chance to rest for few hours while the
blizzard story was mostly fairy tales, in
other words, bunk.

ROCK COUNTY AUDITOR MISS
~ ING, -.
Leaves Office in Broad DAYLIGHT And
Mysteriously Disappears.

The disappearance of John Kelley,
county auditor of Rock county, from his
office at Luverne nearly two weeks ago,
is causing the people of that section of
the state no little excitement, as state
wide search has been instituted, there
being a difference of opinion as to
whether only the dead body of the man
will be found or whether the missing
official planned his disappearance in
order to seek treatment in some sani-
tarium. The hope of finding him alive,
however, seems to appear less probable
as time passes, as news of Kelley's dis
appearance has been spread broadcast
and all hospitals in the state and ad-
Joining states have been notified.
Search for the missing man in the
Immediate vicinity of Luverne has been
made more difficult of late on account
OF the deep snow and it is feared that the
body will be carried away with the spring
floods if it is not found before warmer
weather sets in.
The county auditor walked out of his
office a few weeks ago, went down town
and talked with several acquaintance
and then disappeared. Rumors that he
had been seen walking towards the river
and others that he had been seen in the
vicinity of the railroad yards, gave rise
to the suspicion that he had committed
suicide in the one case and that he had
boarded a freight train and left town in
the other, but neither could even be veri-
fled, the parties not being sure of Kelley's
Identity.

WILL is CONTESTED.

The probating of the will of Emmanuel
Kopp, who died about month ago at
the residence of Attorney Albert D.
Flor, brought on contest by several of
the relatives of the deceased and OBJ
jections were made to the probating of
the document last Wednesday. Judge
Ross decided that the will should be
admitted to probate, but it is likely that
the case will be further aired in the
district court, unless settlement is made
with the relatives. Under the will Mr..
Flor becomes the sole executor and
beneficiary to the amount of $4,000
in personal property. Although all OF
the evidence was not introduced at the
hearing last week, it is said that Mr..
Kopp came to Mr.. Flor some years ago
and asked to be given a home, in return
for which the latter would receive the
proceeds from his personal property after
death. Mr.. Flor decided to agree tc
this and took the eccentric old gentleman
into his home where he was taken care
of and regarded as a member of the
household. It seems that years age
Kopp disagreed with his relatives and
would not seek them out when old age
made it impossible for him to longer earn
livelihood, hence his appeal to the
family of the young attorney. The con.
testants of the will are August Vogl oil
Sigel, a nephew of the deceased, and two
sisters, Mrs. Julia Dahlke of Detroit
Mich, and Mrs. Anna Teske of South
Dakota. There is also said to be q
brother still in the old country, whose
whereabouts, however, have not yet
been ascertained. =
