to mourn her loss.
Mrs. Holman had been ill since
last fall Shortly after the first Of
this year, she went to St. Joseph's
hospital, where she underwent an
operation for tumor. Her strength
was not equal to the shock, and life
gradually ebbed away.
She is survived by her husband;

both infantry at Camp Cody. The
latter is expected home tomorrow.
She also leaves one brother, David
Price of Lake Crystal, and two sis
tiers, Mrs. Emma Hughes and Mrs.
Caleb Foot, both of Mankato.
Mrs. Holman belonged to a number
OF organizations and took active in
terest in most of them. She was a
jealous and energetic member of the
Baptist church for years. She be-
longed to the Eastern Star, and Min
neopa Rebekah lodges. the Women's
Relief corps, the W. C. T.. u. and
the Old Settlers Union. She was
barely eligible to belong to the lat
ter organization as that includes only
the old residents who were here pri-
or to the admission of Minnesota as

man of South Bend, operating gen.
eral store, saw mill, some ware
houses and a postoffice there. Mary
James Price was about five years old al
the time of the Indian outbreaks, yet
she always in after life had vivid
recollection of those exciting days
She on many occasions told about
those days. She told her children
how one day when the alarm reached
the settlement that the Indians were
looming. her mother hastily tumbled
a few household articles, including q
Feather bed, into a wagon, loaded
her children on top of that and hur-
ried with the precious outfit to the
ware houses, which were converted
Unto a stockade. They were sc
crowded with the numerous fright
ened refugees who sought safety from
the Indians that they supposed to be
approaching. that Mrs. Price barely
managed to find room for herself anC
children The crowd stayed there
two days. The buildings were barri-
caded with wagons on the outside.
Mrs. Holman told also of experiences
with friendly Indians, who had way

A great profession which ought to be
enlightened and fortified by all avail
able scientific facts, continues with
obstinate determination to perpetuate
the ancient fetish worship. In effect
this profession persists in supporting
the primitive notion that you must put
something into the mouth to drive out
the demon of disease.
1t was an M. D. who discovered and
proclaimed the principle of osteopathy
because, having become convinced of
the drug failure referred to in the fore
going quotation, he would not continue
what he felt was an unwarrantable i'm
position upon public credulity. He be-
lieved there must be a way of curing
bodily ailments that was consistent with
scientific understanding of cause and
effect and after prolonged investiga-
ton he announced the principle that
failures of function in the body are due |
to failures Of structure in the body, and |

t through. GOSH Geel I've been over
a lot of this country over here in the
last three months. At first everywhere
we went the towns were so shot to pieces
that a pile of stone is all there was left.
but just now, that the Germans are NOV
ing back so fast, we find lots of nice
cities that have been hit with only a
few shots and hardly any damage done.
There surely are some pretty places.
All are of brick and look like our house
in Merrill. When we are on the road it
seems like we are in town all the time.
as the country is so thickly settled and
then when we feel hungry at any time
on our marches we can get a turnip or
carrot almost any time. We see many |
odd things. Yesterday l saw a horse
and COW hitched up together to one
wagon, and another man was blowing
with his milk COW and then at night
sat down and MIXED her.
1t surely is surprising how soon the
people move back to their homes after
the country is retaken from the Ger

they own in the world on their backs.
Some have a. small wagon like the one ]
