not been made at this writing.
Another of those tragedies which
call attention to the vanity and uncer.
tainty of this life startled this com.
munity and spread the gloom of death
over one of our prominent families on
Tuesday, April II. Martin Kjelland was
found unconscious and died without re.
gaining consciousness, in his home in
Green township, apparently suffocated
by the fumes from a kerosene stove.
He lived alone and there is no abso'
lutte knowledge as to how be came to
such an untimely end, but circum-
stances seem to indicate the following:
He had performed the usual chores at
the barn and went to the house to
get breakfast After lighting the ker.
osene stove and putting on the coffee
pot, he lay down on the bed to rest
while, as the day was too wet for
work in the field. Here he was found
later by his brother, William, who sent
at once to Valley City for doctor.
He was past help, however, and passed
away about noon, before his parents
reached his bedside. Martin was 80
years of age, born near Egurand, Nor
way, coming to this country with his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs Ole A. Kjelland,
in 1891. He is the youngest son OF
this worthy couple, and the blow is
particularly hard, as they were plan
ming to make their home with him on
the farm, which was owned by Martin
and his father together. Besides the
father and mother he leaves seven
brothers, L. O., Anton, William, Lud
Wig, Olaf, Benjamin, Alfred and two sis
tiers, Mrs. Martin Berntson and Mrs
Harold Bouck. They all live in this
vicinity except Anton and Ludvi g, who
are in North Bend, Orc. Martin was
a genial friend and companion, and
will be missed by large circle who
claimed him as such. The family cir
Gle is broken by death for the first
time, and the father and mother feel
the loss most keenly. They have much
sympathy in their grief. The funeral
will be held at the Zion Lutheran
church in Green township Friday az
ternoon at 2 o'clock by Rev. Solheim.

HAVE YOU WEAK LUNGS?

Do colds settle on your chest or IN your
bronchial tubes? Do coughs hang on, or
are you subject to throat troubles?
Such troubles should have immediate
treatment with the strengthening powers
of SCOTS Emulsion to guard against
consumption which so easily follows.
SCOTS Emulsion contains pure cod liver
oil which peculiarly strengthens the res.
piratory tract and improves the quality OF
the blood; the glycerine in it soothes and
heals the tender membranes of the throat.
Scott's is prescribed by the best special
lists. You can get it at any drug store.
