HIS OLD DREAM CAME TRUE
Miner Was Killed in the Manner That
Was Foretoid in Vision Twenty
Years Before.

In lecture at Blackwood the Rev.
M. Griffin of Cross Oak, minister
who. after forty years preaching, is
as vigorous as ever, referred to sub
consciousness, the mysterious power
that controls us even when asleep,
says a Cardiff Mail writer Outside
the chapel one of his hearers narrated
a curious incident which happened to
a Blackwood man. He lived near the
present railway station, and dreamed
one night that while working on his
stall as miner stone fell on him
and killed him.
The dream was so vivid that he gave
up his work at once and emigrated to
America. Twenty years later he re-
turned to Blackwood and sought work
in his old colliery. lie was told that
no one had been working in his old
stall since he had left, and work was
found for him in the adjoining stall.
While engaged there his pick acciden-
tally struck through the coal which di-
vided him from his old stall, there
came q fall and the twenty-year-old
dream was fulfilled.

Boy Badly Hurt in Accident.

Lennox.-George 1ben, aged 12, son
of Mr. and Mrs. John Iben, of the
Lennox territory, was perhaps fatally
hurt as the result of peculiar acci-
dent. His condition is critical. The

when one of the tugs became unfast-
ened. He had fixed the tug and was
attempting to get back into the wagon
when his foot slipped and he became
fastened in the wheel in such man.
ner that he could not release himself.
The horses started to run, with the re-
suit that one of the boys legs was
fractured to such an extent that about
six inches of the thigh bone protruded
through the muscles and all the liga-
ments were torn loose When an old
er brother went to his rescue and
stopped the team he found it neces-
sary to remove the wheel from the
wagon before he could release his
unfortunate brother.

|: LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen tender corn
or calus so it lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter
wear shoes Il size smaller if you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a few drops of drug
called freezone applied directly upon
tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn. root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard

Widow Ends Life.

Sioux Falls.-A love affair may have
been responsible for the suicide of
Mrs Helen Noble, aged 2S a widow,
who made her home on farm four
miles north of Sioux Falls. She ended
her life by swallowing a quantity of
carholic acid. Her body was found in
an orchard on the farm of Magnus
Swenson With her mother she had
gone to the Swenson home to visit,
and short time before ending her
life she wandered away from the 9TH
ers. She was missed and a search
was instituted, her body being found
in the orchard. 1t is alleged that an
estrangement between herself and a
son Of Mr.. Swenson might have influ-
enced her in drinking the poison. She
was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
John kennedy, prominent residents of
Lincoln county.

Germany Declares War.
New York Worldly

Germany's answer to President Will
son s address to the senate is, in eff
feet, declaration of war against the
United States.
Germany has now deliberately defed
the President s ultimatum of April ~
and thrown it back into our teeth. The
act of notification was committed at a
time when the discussion of peace had
progressed to point at which the end
of the war was in sight. Nothing stood
in the way of formal negotiations ex-
cept an honest reply on the part OF
Germany to President Wilson S note of
Dec. IS.
There can be only one answer on the
part of the United States to the new
German submarine proclamation, and
that answer should be made today. The
German ambassador must receive his
passport forthwith and diplomatic re-
lations must cease at once. There
should be no procrastination until the
hand of the United States government
is forced by premeditated murder and
depreciation. The President must carry
out the terms of his own ultimatum
and do it so swiftly that Berlin can
have no excuse for misunderstanding
the purpose and policy of the American
government. Having done that the
United States must adopt such measures
as circumstances require for the protec-
ton of the lives and property of its
citizens on the high seas. If this means
actual war with Germany, so be it.
