GLAD TO KNOW HIS
BROTHER ESCAPED
S. A. Siverts, Sr., Receives Letter
from Sister in Norway Tell
ing About Bergen Fire

A letter from Norway carrying good
news from Bergen to Mr.. S. A.
Siverts, Sr., of this city. was re-
ceived by Mr.. Siverts Monday. 1t
was written by his sister and con-
tanned intelligence about the recent
fire which visited Bergen and caused
a $50, 900, 600 property loss. For a
time Mr.. Siverts feared one or several
bakeries operated by his brother at
Bergen had been destroyed.
According to the letter the fire
did not reach the Siverts bakeries.
A cousin, however, suffered heavily
by reason of the loss of their home
on which little or no insurance was
carried. Mr.. Siverts also regretted
to learn of the destruction of a large
umbrella factory owned and operated
by an old friend, Christian Erickson.
Mr.. Erickson is an intimate friend of
Emperor William, of Germany, and
the emperor was Mr.. Erickson's guest
the same week the war broke out in
Europe. The German monarch is pop
ular in Bergen and has already sent
his minister to investigate conditions
with a view of sending supplies of
food and clothing to the destitute.
According to to the letter the emperor
is the only other monarch in Europe
who has shown such an interest.

FRANK MALMBERG
CALLED BY DEATH
Well Known Morris Contractor
Passes at Home Sunday Night
Funeral at Cokato

After a lingering illness with
Bright's disease for over year, the
last two months of which had been
spent in close confinement of his
home, Frank Malmberg died at his
home in this city last Sunday evening
surrounded by members of his family.
He was conscious up to the very
minute of dissolution and expired af-
ter assuring his family he was pre-
pared to go.
Mr.. Malmberg was one of the we'll
known and highly respected citizens of
Morris of whom everyone speaks we'll
gret. He had been engaged in plast-
ering, cement work and building con-
tracts in this city for the past ten
years and was an energetic and con-
scientious man. Last fall he realized
his physical condition and disposed of
his business interests and otherwise
provided for those dependent upon
him. His condition was regarded
critical shortly before Christmas but
he rallied and was able to be about
the streets when weather permitted.
A few weeks ago another sinking spell
set in and he sank gradually till death
claimed him as her own at 9 80 Sun
day evening. He leaves wife, two
sons and one daughter to mourn. The
children are Victoria Berg, of James
town, N. D.; Hames and Phillip, who
are at home.
The remains were taken to Cokato
Wednesday morning where they were
laid beside those of a son in the
Malmberg family lot in the Swedish
Lutheran cemetery. Brief services
were held at the home by Rev. A.
Olson, pastor of the Free Lutheran
church in this city. A large concourse
of friends gathered to pay their last
respects. The floral contributions
were many and beautiful. At Cokato
the services were held yesterday after
noon from the Swedish Lutheran
church, Rev. Barr officiating. Mr..
Malmberg and family resided at CO.
kato for many years. He was a mem
Der of the Lutheran church there and
took much active interest in church
work.
Deceased was born at Ueder, Fjer-
lingsmola county, Smoland, Sweden,
March IL, 1859, where he grew to
manhood and received good public
school education. At the age of 21
he came to America, going direct to
Kandiyohi, this state. A few years
later he went to Minneapolis and be-
gan life as plasterer. In the fall
of 1888 he was married to Miss
Bertha Skoglund, at Cokato, and the
couple went to live at St. Paul. Later
they moved to Cokato and ten years
ago the family came to Morris.
In the death of Mr.. Malmberg Nor
ris has lost one of its highly respect
ed and substantial citizens and the
family has lost kind and generous
husband, father and friend. .. -

ment bureau.
Pupils from the second and third
grades in the Morris public schools,
under direction of Mrs. Frances My
ron, gave reading demonstration
which won the admiration and ap-
probation of teachers and visiting ed
ucators.
The reading demonstration in rho-
netics for first grade pupils by Miss

preciated number.
Many of the school Offices of the
county appeared with questions and
took part in the discussions which fol-
lowed the regular program. The ses-
sion for the men was held in connec-
tion with the farm school short course

EFFICIENCY AND PREPAREDNESS
No man can do mans work, either
physically or mentally, if he is handi-
capped by disease. Good health is alb
solutely necessary if you are to be an
efficient worker in any line If you are
neglecting your God-given body, you
are preparing for inefficiency, failure
and death. Nearly every day some
doctor says to a patient ''too late for a
cure now you should have been treated
months or years ago" Practically
every neglected case reaches the incur
able stage sometime. Are you waiting
for this day? Or, are you under the
care of a specialist and on the road to
recovery and efficiency? If you arenot,
better start at once, delays are always
dangerous.

John Schoendal1er, young farmer
living west of Ellis, was almost instant
ly killed Tuesday afternoon in an auto
mobile accident. He had recently pur-
chased a new six cylinder Buick auto
mobile and had driven to town on bust
ness; and hearing Of ball game that
was In progress on the Ellis diamond
thought that he would attend The
ball grounds are situated west of Ellis
and across bridge that spans a small
stream or draw. He left town at high
speed and when he arrived at the bridge
he had apparently partially lost control
of his machine, and instead of going on
to the bridge In right manner he drove
so close to one side that he struck the
railing which bounced the car to the
other side, and one of the bridge tim
bers, it is supposed, struck him on the
side of the head and crushed the skull.
He fell back in his car unconscious and
the car went on across the bridge and
through q wire fence taking posts and
all-and stopped. A front wheel was
torn off and the machine otherwise
damaged. Friends and citizens Of the
town hurried to the scene Of the acct
dent and took the unfortunate man
back to town and to the Office Of DR..
Kidd, where he died in few minutes,
never again regaIning consciousness.
Coroner Haas was sent for, who drove
over and viewed the remains. No in
quest was held as the cause Of death
was unquestioned.

THREE ENLIST IN
SECOND REGIMENT
But Lieutenant Whitmore Hopes TO
Increase The Number
to Ten

Lieutenant Whitmore has secured
three enlistments for the Second
regiment since establishing his re-
cruiting station here. These men will
not be sent to the mobilization camp
at Charleston until Sunday and it is
expected that several will be added
to the party before that time.
These men will probably arrive there
just in time to accompany the regi-
ment to the border. Lieutenant Whit
more is hoping to secure at least ten
enlistments here. This will bring
Martinsburg's quota in the regiment
up to thirty. This is just the number
that the recruiting party has sent
from Keyser. Certainly it is not too
much to expect that Martinsburg do
as well as her little sister of Mineral
county.
