A STITCH IN TIME
Barton People Should Not Neglect

No kidney ailment is unimportant.
Don't overlook the slightest backache
or urinary irregularity. Nature may
be warning you of approaching drop
sy, gravel or Bright's disease. Kid
ney disease is seldom fatal if treated
in time, but neglect may pave the
way Don't neglect a lame or aching
back another day. Don't ignore dizzy
spells, headaches, WEAKNESS or de-
preston. If you feel you need kid
ney help Begin using the reliable,
time-tried remedy, Doan's Kidney
Pills. For SO years Doan's have been
found effective. Endorsed by Barton
people.
Mrs. w. H. Alexander, High St.,

Founded on q Religion.

Twelve hundred and eighty-fve
years ago the founder Of the Moham-
medan religion died in Medina, Arabia,
and the career of Mohammed Is now
recognized as one of the nine or ten
great careers in history. A son of the
desert, born with q keen poetic and
sensuous nature, his early life was
passed in dreams, visions and medita-
lions. Gradually there dawned upon
him the conception of the unity Of God.
In his fortieth year his work of pros
elyting began. Prosecuted by the older
religions, he barely escaped with his
life, and fled from Mecca to the city Of
Medina. Rapidly the new faith gained
adherents; the forces of Mecca were
defeated, and by the time of his death
the whole of Arabia had been subdued
and an army was setting forth to as
sail the Roman empire Of the East.
Exactly 100 years after he died his
standards had been planted by his dis
ciples across the Pyrenees and on the
plains of India.

Wonderful Cave Found.

A wonderful cave has been discov-
cred at the lime quarries about 10
miles from Potgietersrust, Cape Colony.
A workman, using his pick, came to a
large hole, and this proved to lead to
a wonderful cave containing the most
beautiful stalactites-a really wonder
full sight. These pendant cones Of
carbonate of lime, attached like icicles
to the roof of the cave and formed by
the dripping Of the water charged with
the carbonate from the rock above"
are in various and in some cases most
intricate designs, and should be Of
great interest to biologists. The cave
is about SO yards long and 30 wide, and
no one ever dreamed Of it's existence.

Speed of Waterfowl Measured.

The speed of waterfowl has often
been measured with great accuracy.
Two men take positions on a duck
pass a measured distance apart. The
first man carries a stOp-watch and a
gun, and the second gun only. AS
the fowls pass the first blind the timer
shoots in order to brighten the birds
into full speed, and starts his watch.
AS the ducks pass the second blind the
man there fires shot, and the timer
stops his watch. The usual length Of
the course is a quarter of mile, al
though mile "track" is sometimes
used.

Third Participant i'm Bradshaw Child
Murder Sentenced.

In Caledonia county court last
week the case of Mrs. Eta May
Hicks was taken up and she asked
leave to change her plea of not guilty
of the murder of Alice Bradshaw on
July 5 last to that of manslaugh-
ter. States Attorney Campbell call
ed attention to her weak mental con-
dltion and said he was satisfied to
leave the matter of sentence entirely
with the court. Alexander Dunnett,
the respondents lawyer, admitted
her mental condition and explained to
the court that the reason that his
client had not talked about the case
more, particularly at the time of the
murder, was because she was afraid
OF the Kenerson woman.
Mrs. KenersOn is now serving a
life sentence for her part in the MUIR
der of the little girl and John Kerwin
who pleaded guilty to being accessory
after the fact, is serving a sentence
Of from two to five years in states
prison.
The court sentenced Mrs. Hicks to
hard labor at the state prison for
term of not less than seven years nor
more than 20 years, explaining that
he gave her this sentence because of
her mental condition. This entirely
disposes of the three participants in
one of the most revolving murders
ever committed in Caledonia county.
The Hicks woman was Bradshaw's
housekeeper and the caretaker of his
daughter, who was almost helpless
from infantile paralysis. On July 5,
last, when Bradshaw returned home
from his work the housekeeper told
him the child was missing. She said
the girl was playing in the yard when
she and Mrs. Alvah Kenerson went
berrying.
After 24-hour search for the child
the women broke down and under
grilling from the officers admitted
that they had killed the little girl,
that one struck her in the head with
club and the other hit her in the
back and that they then hid the body
Later they retracted.
John Kerwin, a boarder at Mrs
Kenerson's, was arrested as an ac-
complete. Days of fruitless search
for the body followed, the three pris-
oners pretending to assist in the
search at times. Four weeks later
the body was found by a farmer in
his moving field.

Mclean County Soldier
Summoned by Death

It is reported that Ira Solenberger
is very sick at Camp Pike, Ark, with
spinal meningitis. His mother had
planned on going down to be with him
but he is quarantined so could not see
him. He has many friends who wish
him a speedy recovery. He was
among the selected who left here III
October.
Later-Word reached here yester.
day morning that Ira Solenberger had
passed away. He is the first one o1
the Mclean county boys who are in
the service, who has not been able to
overcome the contagious diseases
that often spread quickly through a
camp.
Ira was the youngest son of Mr.. and
Mrs. N w. Solenberger, whom he
leaves to mourn his death, with his
brother Hugh.
Ira had always lived at home and
when he was called to answer the
colors, his parents began to realize
the terribleness of the war. Their
little family circle was broken, but
they thought it would be only for a
short time. Ira was serving his coun.
try gladly, so he could soon return.
Hugh Solenberger came up from
Cannonball Monday to be with his pa
rents when he heard of his brothers
serious illness, and will remain with
them until after the funeral.
The sympathy of the entire com
munity goes out to those who have
lost dear one. Those who knew
Ira were his friends, and they were
many, and his death brings sorrow tc
them all.
Six other deaths are reported from
Camp Pike, the number including one
other North Dakota boy.
