A Good Story Spoiled.

1t seems almost TOO bad to spoil so
good story as was published in the
GAINESVILLE, Madison and even Chicago
papers during the week about the res
cue of seven year old school girl from
drowning by the presence of mind or
ingenuity of her gallant boy conpan-
ions, one of whom held onto the feet of
the other and pushed him under the ice
to rescue the girl. All this is alleged
to have happened on Albion Prairie
Thursday during the noon hour while
the children were sliding on pond on
Samuel Clark's farm. About all there
was of fact to hang such story on
was that the children broke through
the ice, got their clothing so wet that
they were taken to nearby farm
house to dry them. The water was
less than three feet. deep and nobody
was in danger of drowning at any time.
There ought to besomething more than
the mere getting their feet wet for
space writer's to hang such story of
heroism and rescue on.

DIR. A. P. Nicholson Dies Suddenly.
Not in years has the community re-
ceived so sudden shock as was given
early Thursday morning when the news
was wired from home to home of the
sudden passing away of DR.. A. P.
Nicholson. Aside from the everyday
ills which man Of his age is heir to,
DR.. Nicholson had been enjoying ex-
cellent health and spirits. Thursday
morning he was about his home at
tending to the chores of the house and
while in the basement taking care of
the furnace had dizzy spell, falling
and striking his head, causing cut.
He went up stairs to the sink and
while washing was again stricken and
fell to the floor. His daughter Eunice
went quickly to him, but the form was
lifeless and DR.. Nicholson had passed
away. Drs. Cleary and McChesney
were Immediately summoned but medi-
cal aid was of no avail. Heart failure
was the attributed cause.
The bereaved family and relatives
have the sympathy of the citizens of
the whole city. In the next issue of
The Reporter will be given the life his
tory of this man who has lived and
practiced the dental profession here for
a long term of years.

Frank Wyman Found Dead in His Home

Frank Wyman Found Dead In His Home
The lifeless body of Frank Wyman
was found lying across chair at his
home on Blaine street at seven o'clock
Wednesday evening by Stephen Mad
den and Aug. Waldow, his nearest
neighbors. Failing to see Frank about
the y ard for couple of days and the
fact that a light had been steadily
burning in his kitchen, raised suspic-
ions and on looking into the window
they discovered the body. They noti-
fled Chief Springer, who with others
entered the. home where they found
the body lying acrose chair with the
head and feet touching the floor. The
indications are that death came to him
suddenly as he was standing near the
sink and he fell across the chair he had
just risen from. The last seen of him
alive was on our street about 9 o'clock
Monday evening and it is possible he
was stricken shortly after reaching
home. Since the death of his wife he
has lived alone. His brother living at
Madison is the only relative in the state
came Thursday morning to take charge
of arrangements for the funeral.

Tobacco Notes.

Geo. Rumrill, Haskins & Schwartz,
Sam Grundy and M. F. Greene, James,
vile dealers, received in this market
Tuesday.
Geo. E. Gary was called to Hender-
son, N. c., last week by the serious
illness of his father, who, it is feared,
cannot recover.
Tuesday was the largest receiving
day of the season when four Janesville
firms in addition to Edgerton dealers re-
ceived from growers. The streets were
crowded with farmers teams about the
station and warehouses during the
early part Of the day. 1t is quite likely
that 500, 600 was paid out for tobacco
during this one day.
This is the story of lost car of to-
bacco-that strayed away from its bill
ing and tramped around over three
thousand miles of road for four months
and was finally located well towards
the Pacific coast. In November last
a car of tobacco was loaded at the Has
kins & Schwartz warehouse in James,
vile for Edgerton by the Mcintosh
Bros. After waiting a reasonable time
and the car did not arrive at destina-
ton tracer was put on its track but
it never could be located until about
March 1st the company was advised
that an empty had shown up at
Lewistown. Montana, loaded with leaf
tobacco and the agent wanted dlspo-
sition of the freight. It afterwards
developed that about the time this car
was pulled out of the siding at James
vile an order was out to send all empty
box cars west to load with grain SO the
Milwaukee road had been passing the
car from division to division points
until it finally landed at Lewistown.
The car got back to Edgerton few
days ago.

Side Light on Russian Affairs.

First hand information on the politi-
cal affairs in Russia formed the basis
of most interesting and instructive
lecture given by Lieut.. Swartkopensky
at the Congregational church Thursday
evening. The speaker was at one time
lieutenant of the Cars bodyguard.
Later he was sentenced to Siberia in
exile from where he escaped through
China and made his way to America by
steamer to San Francisco. He has
been lecturing in all parts of the coun-
try FOR some time.
TIE Lieutenant feels that this is a
great day for Russia, and its future is
assured in the new revolution for the
people are not the same as they were
twenty years ago. 1t is impossible to
keep the entire people in darkness all
the time and this is what the ruling
class tried to do. For years the radi-
Gals have been gaining in power, but
they lacked leader to carry out their
uprisings to success. This was Rus
sia's opportunity. In the Duma the
people have true leader The Duma
is q reality now, rather than mere
formality, as the Gar endeavored to
make it.
The leaders of the radical movement
in Russia are the intelligent class, the
educated socialists, college men, schol-
ars; they do not want bloodshed, and
with these men in the lead it is not
likely that the lower classes will rise in
riots to any great extent. The people
are so used to absolute and subservient
obedience that they will follow their
new leaders in the working out of the
new government. The masses, as
much as they may rebel against the
absolutism and oppression of the Gear,
believe he is heaven sent and fear him
still.
Lieut.. M. Swartkopensky is big
man, tall and wiry, with fine heavy
voice and perfect command of Eng
fish. His message of humanity is one
that is of interest to all mankind.

SOLD SHOTGUN
FOR TEN DOLLARS
And Filed on Western Canada
Land. Now Worth $4,000.

Lawrence Bros. of Vera, Saskatche.
wan, are looked upon as being amongst
the most progressive farmers in West
ern Canada. They have had their
"ups-and-downs," and know what it
Is to be in tight pinches. They perse-
vered, and are now in an excellent
financial position. Their story Is an
interesting one. Coming In from the
states they Travelled overland from
Calgary across the Battle river, the
Red Deer river, through the Eagle
Hills and on to Battleford. On the
way their horses were stolen, but this
did not dishearten them. They had
some money, with which they bought
more horses, and some provisions.
When they reached Battleford they
had only money enough to pay their
ferriage over the Saskatchewan river,
and this they had to borrow. 1t was
In 1906 that they filled on homesteads,
having to sell a shotgun for ten dol
lars in order to get sufficient money to
do so. Frank Lawrence says:
Since that time we have acquired
altogether a section and a half Of
land, In addition to renting another
three quarters of a section. If we
had to sell out now we could probably
realize about $4,000, and have made
all this since we came here. We get
crops In this district of from 30 to
30 bushels Of wheat to the acre and
oats from 40 to so bushels to the acre.
Stock here pays well. We have LOO
sheep, 20 cattle and 60 horses, of which
number are registered Clydes."
Similar successes might be given OF
the experiences of hundreds of farm
ers throughout Western Canada, who
have done comparatively as well. Why
| should they not dress well, live well,
have comfortable homes, with all mod
ern equipments, electric light, steam
heat, pure ventilation, and automO-
biles. Speaking Of automobiles 1t Will
be a revelation TO the reader to learn
that during the first half Of 1917, 49,
COO automobile licenses were issued In
! Alberta, twice as many as in the whole
Of 1916. In Saskatchewan, 21,000 L.
! censes were issued up to the first OF
May, 1917. In its monthly bulletin for
June the Canadian Bank of Commerce
makes special reference TO this phase
and TO the general prosperity of the
West In the following:
Generally speaking the western
farmer is, In many respects, in a much
better position than hitherto to in
crease his production. Two years OF
high prices for his products have en-
abled him, even with a normal crop.
to liquidate a substantial proportion
Of his liabilities and at the same time
to buy improved farm machinery. HIS
prosperity is reflected in the demand
for building materials motor cars
and other equipment. 1t is no doubt
true that some extravaganza is evil
denced by the astonishing demand for
motor cars, but 1t must be remembered
that many of these cars will make for
efficiency on the farm and econOmize
both time and labor" -Advertisement
