Robt. NJ. LaFollette was expelled
from the Madison Club by an unani-
nous vote of all directors voting be
cause of the disloyal course he has
pursued in the senate. Loyal men
everywhere are refusing to associate
or affiliate with him. Burnt in effigy
by the students of the university, de-
nounced by the alumni of the univer-
sity, and now expelled from the lead
ing club in Madison. We wonder if it
is in any way dawning upon his con-
eeited vision that he is not wanted in
Wisconsin? His place is in Germany,
alongside of the Kaiser, whose repre-
sentative he is.-Governor Hoard.

Doc. Coleman Writes
From German DuqOut

Having been in quarantine since
June, Charles F. (Doc.) Coleman
writes October 27, an exciting
letter of conditions in conquered
territory. He says: !,
81 missed all the experiences
that other fellows have bad to go
through. However, I am ready
for those that will follow.
Il am writing this in dugout
held by the Germans less than a
month ago. 1t was a marvellous
feat to take this ground as it is
quite billy and well fortified with
machine gun emplacements and
with the famous pill boxes of
which you read 30 much. I have
also seen several heavy German
guns, tank, and much other cap
tured stuff. There arr two areo-
planes that were shot down near
this evening.
Some of the dugouts are IS
feet underground. with many out
let's, and the only way to blow them
up would be with mines. But
somehow our boys took them un-
damaged, and they are now furn.
ishing us with a place of refuge
from shell fire.
"a few nights ago several of US
were sleeping in our tents and a
big shell fell about 15O feet from
us. We are now sleeping in the
dugouts.
"There are no civilians here
nothing but soldiers-and lots,
of them. The towns are all des-
troyed-not complete, building
left standing.

FLU SITUATION BETTER, BUT
NOT YETENTIRELYC CHECKED

OtueIS receiving nut one WISH
day from the doctor instead of two
or only one every-other day, and
no new cases reported Thursday,
the flu situation, wnich a week
ago was SO distressing, seems to be
materially abating The health oil
the community, however. must be
the uppermost question in the
minds of everyone this winter, as
it is freely predicted that these
flare-ups of the disease will occur
all winter, with perhaps the worst
attack of all in the spring OF
course the seriousness of each
siege must depend to some extent
upon the condition in which it
finds the people.
The converting ofthe Club hotel
into a hospital for the use o. the
Red Cross society was a loyal thing
for the owner, D. G. Holland, to
do, and has ameliorated the con-
dition of many, who for various
reasons could be better cared for
there than at home. The difficulty
there, as elsewhere, is to find
nurses. Miss Myrtle Huddleston,
who had successfully cared for
Mrs. Behr. and for Mr., and Mrs
Billig, started in when the hospital
was organized to help care for
patients, but she too soon became
one of them. Her case is not con-
sidered dangerous. Mrs. Coleman
went in to assist, but she too be-
came i'll. The day she was taken
sick, word came that her brother
had been wounded in France on
the last day of the war, and the
sad news was, of course, depress-
ing, making her case more serious
than it might otherwise have been.
Her recovery is expected. Mr..
Holland did not spare himself
wherever he could be of use, and
Monday night he became ill. His
condition is not regarded as ser
ious. Mrs. Virgil White. who had
been nursing at the hospital, went
home i'll Thursday morning Miss
Euphrasia ellison, James Hum
phrey, Frank Dalton, and Mrs.
William Elliott, who has been
nursing in the Ritter family. are
the present staff of nurses.
Patients in the hospital at this
writing are George Curnow. who
is about ready to go home. although
still weak. Mr.. and Mrs. William
Nudge and FIVE children, all of
whom are doing we'll except Mr..
Nudge; Miss Anna Hartman, who
was brought in from Lawson Sat
urday night, and who is improv-
ing; G. r. Bailey, who is conva-
lescing; John Rodler and Lewis
Frank, both of whom are doing
nicely. There are at present FIVE
cases from Lawson in the hospital,
who were brought there Thursday,
and who are some of tho first cases
Lawson has had. These with the
nurses i'll constitute about twenty
cases being cared for by the Red
Cross.
The death of William Storms
Monday and of William Nudge

Frank Comstock, a younger son
of the Comstock family, we'll
known in this district for many
years, died at his home in Ynma
Tuesday, leaving a wife and
young baby. MIR. Comstock was
an electrical engineer at Yuma,
and an uncle of Miss Hattie Rich
ards.
Reverend Fish, formerly Meth
odist minister al Silver Plume,
died Tuesday of influenza in St.
Luke's hospital in Leadville, at
which place he had been pastor of
the First Methodist church. He
leaves the wife and one child.
The body was taken to Sapulpa,
Oklahoma. for burial.
The influenza situation general
ly over the state, especially in Den
yer, has become so serious that, be-
tween the unusual need of caskets,
and the illness of many men in
places where baskets are made,
it has been impossible to obtain
them in sufficient numbers to bury
the dead. At one time this week
there were nine bodies in the
county awaiting burial, and but
one casket available. Denver
casket makers will not promise
shipments under two weeks.
Miss Alva Holmberg, who had
been teaching at Pocatello, Idaho,
became a nurse in the hospital,
helping to care for influenza patti
ents, and was in that work for
five weeks after her school had
been closed. She returned Just in
time to 70 to the Blackmer ranch |
to care for the sick folks there.
Miss Holm berg expects to return
to her home with Mrs. E. G..
Peterson until the reopening of her
school, which will probably be
early in the new year. The plan
there will perhaps be to dispense
with one half of the work for this
year, beginning with the last half
of work next fall.
