Seymour mckinney Dead.

People ofathis community were
|greatly shocked yesterday after
noon by the information that Sey-
moar Mckinney, living northwest
OF logan, and a lifelong resident
of the county, was dead. Yester-
day morning he had a fall on the
Ice and complained somewhat to
his wife about pain in his head.
put went to attend to the chores.
AS Mrs. Mckinney failed to notice
him about the yards or barn, she
telcrhoned to a brother, Earl, to
inquire if Mr.. Mckinney had gone
over there. On receiving a neg
alive reply Mrs. Mckinney went
out to the barn and found her
husband lying on the floor of a
grain bin, cold i'm death. She
summoned physician at once,
who found that he had been dead
fof an hour or more, and that the
cause of his death was directly at
Itrlbutable to the fall suffered in
the morning.
The deceased was we'll known
citizen of this county. His early
home was near Magnolia, but he
bought the farm now occupied by
the family, which is just south of
the John Wood farm, now owned
by DR.. Humphrey, several years
ago. He was an industrious and
Successful farmer.
He was married February 18th.
1898, to Miss Maggie Tovey Of
Magnolia, and to them six daugh-
tiers were born and all of them,
survive to mourn the loss of a
father, who was ever thoughtful
OF them and worked that he might
provide for them the best things
of life. All of them, are at home.
but the eldest, Miss Cleta, teaches
school near the home. The wife
also survives TO mourn the loss of
"a faithful loving partner. There
are also six brothers and one sis
ter, the sister living in Kansas,
and five of the brothers, Charles.
Jasper, Frank, Tom and Earl live
IN this county, and one, AL, in Ne
braska.
His sad and sudden summons
came as a great shock to his fam
lily and to the entire community.
The funeral will be held at Mag
noila Friday at 1890 a. m.--Lo-
gan Observer. !

Would License Auto doctors. },

Topeka, Kas.--A proposal to
have motor car mechanics pass
an examination and show their
qualifications before being per-
mitted to practice on balky auto
mobiles was before Governor Ar
thur Capper. In a letter to the
executive DR.. Z. H. Higgins oil
Houghton, Kas., declared that the|
mechanics should be placed in the
same class with physicians, dem
fists and members of other
trained professions. DR.. Higgins
wrote:
eff you want the everlasting
friendship of every Kansan that
drives an automobile form some
plan this winter whereby any
person repairing, or pretending
TO repair, automobiles will first
have taken a proper examination
as to his efficiency and have a
license to work on automobiles.
Make the penalty life imprison-
ment.
eve pay the automobile license
tax and other taxes and have our
cars ruined and our pockets en-
piled by a set of country yaps
that never earned over 25 cents
a day in their lives. But the min
ute they get on a pair Of greasy
overalls and lift up the hood Of q
car it is 60 cents an hour, and the
car has everything but the small
pox." {.

the bill were cut to the bone but Be-
midi Jared we'll. Its efforts and
hard work done has not been in
vain.
The $4,000 will be available July
81, 1918, next summer, and this, to-
gether with the $4,000 already ap-
propriated, will give Bemidji an
appropriation of 100000 for a
starter.
In the original appropriation, al
flowed by the house and senate of the
state, there was $15O,000 for the
Bemidji normal, to be spread over
two years, that is to say a portion
would be available this summer and
the rest next summer.
In allowing Bemidji the $4,000
the amount for this year is elimin-
ated and the $4,000 allowed is for
the next years portion.
