Russia Marches On.

The Russian bayonet thinks. This
fact spells the secret of the success
of the revolution in Russia.
There were no Swiss guards this
time to protect an autocrat and his
queen from the just wrath of the
people. Had there been such SOL
diery at Petrograd this week, per-
haps the rising of Russia might have
had another issue. At all events,
the triumph of the people and their
parliment would not have been won
so easily.
The armies of Russia are the peo-
Piles of Russia, the nation in arms,
and the people and their army alike
are permeated with the principles
of self-government and fired with
passionate patriotism against Ger
many and the Germanic influences in
the Russian government.
The earthquake came suddenly but
it had long been preparing. The
nihilists have sown seed of revolt for
at least half century. Western po-
litical ideals have been sweeping in
among the Russian intellectuals ever
since the Crimean war. The reforms
of Alexander the Liberator, who en-
ancipated 23,O00,000 serfs, opened
the way for the practice of democra-
tic rule among the communes of the
Russian masses. The war against
Turkey in 1S77-7S was peoples
war and revealed to the Russians
their power to coerce even bureau
ocracy and abolutism. The rotten
ness and impotence manifested by
the ruling powers in the war with
japan in 1904 aroused the populace
as we'll as the statesmen outside OF
the governing class to demand and
secure share in the government
The 13 years which have elapsed
have taught the nation how to con-
duct affairs of state and to bring the
bureaucrats and the czar to terms
The war with Germany has re-en'
forced all the progressive and patrio'
tic elements in Russian citizenship
The resentment against German in
fluence and intrigue has grown every

Tragic Death of
f. |. .SchnobriCh
Caught in Belt of Corn Shredder
and Hurled to Ground; Never
,Regains Consciousness

Frank L. Schnobrich, a young
farmer of Stately township.
southwest of Springfield, was
the victim of a terrible accident
that cost him his life last Fri
day afternoon. He was shred
ding corn with a small corn
shredder, operated with a gaso-
line engine.
He was alone with the eXcep-
tion of his twelve year old boy
who was helping. Mr.. Schno-
brich wore a sheep lined coat
and in some manner this got
caught between the belt and belt
wheel of the shredder. In an
instant the shredder was tipped
toward the engine, drawn by
the force of the belt. Mr.. Schno-
brich must have struck the
ground with his head and frac-
tured the base of the skull. The
boy ran into the house and called
his mother and DR.. Shrader ws,s
summoned. But when the Doc
tor arrived he saw there was no
hope for the mans life. He was
unconscious and passed away
about half past six.
The sudden and tragic death
of this young farmer comes as
a severe shock to the commun-
ity and especially to his family.
He was an industrious young
man and was meeting with sue
cess in his business. He was hon
orable in his dealings and en-
joyed the respect of all who
knew him.
The Free Press was unable to
get an obituary this week, but
will publish it next week.
The funeral services were
held from the Catholic Church
at Sanborn at 1000 a. m. Mon
day, Rev. Normill officiating. In
terment was made in the Cath
olic cemetery.
The Free Press joins with the
many friends of the deceased in
extending to the bereaved fam
lily sincere sympathy Spring

THAWING FROZEN WATER
PIPES.

During the winter season
much trouble is experienced and
many fires are caused by ill-ad-
vised and ignorant attempts to
thaw frozen water pipes, says
Robert w. Hargadine. State Fire
Marshal.
In cases of bad "freeze"
plumber should be called where
possible. Frequently, however
this is not practicable and first
aid" methods must be employed,
some of which are futile and
many of them are positively dan
gerous.
The use of an open fame OF
any description is always dan
gerous. It frequently causes a
break in the pipe which might
otherwise be avoided and is a
fire menace of the worst sort,
since freezes usually occur in or
near walls and partitions where
there is a draft or upward flow
of air. which makes it easy to
start a fire.
In some cases ignorant occu-
pants have wrapped pipes with
cloth saturated with kerosene,
which is set afre. This is little
short of criminal and should
never be resorted to under any
circumstances.
Practical plumbers are agreed
that the safest method is to
wrap the frozen pipe with cloth
and pour over it hot water un-
til the pipe is cleared of ice. This
seems to be the safest and most
practicable method thus far de
vised.
Property owners may save
themselves much trouble by re-
quiring plumbers to avoid out
side walls in piping and building
and the better class of plumbers
will usually be glad to adopt any
method of running pipes which
may minimize trouble in cold
weather.
A little care along these lines
will result in a substantial re-
duction in the number of So
called "cold weather fires.
