Edgerton Boy Killed by Train.

A dispatch received here from Gary,
Indiana, by his parents on Thursday
brought the distressing news of the
death of Willard Shea, caused by being
run down by train at an early hour
that morning. The circumstances sur
rounding the unfortunate affair ap-
pear to be that young Shea left Gary
that morning with a train of workmen
to their employment at bridge works.
Their train stopped on siding where
the men were compelled to cross the
main line of the road, a particularly
dangerous spot, for trains pass there
at full speed. AS soon as the train
halted the men piled out and crossed
the main line, Willard being one of the
last to leave the cars and was urged to
hurry across but fast through train
struck him as he was about to reach
the safety side. He was hurled some
distance by the impact and when reach
ed by others who witnessed the acct
dent it was found that life was extinct
and death must have occurred instantly.
His father, Frank Shea, left on the
afternoon train for Gary where he had
the body prepared for burial and ac-
companied it home Friday.
Willard was born on a farm near
town July 28th, 1899. He graduated
from the Edgerton high school with the
class of 1917 and was young man of
bright promise and exemplary habits.
He had been employed for few months
with the Aetna Explosive Works at
Gary but on account of the heavy work
had left this job to take position with
bridge company as timekeeper and
was on the way that morning to COM
mence work. An inquest was held at
Gary on Tuesday. his father being
present to learn more particulars of
his sons death.
Funeral services were held from the
Congregational church Sunday after
noon, Rev. M r. Brandt officiating.
The pail bearers were members of his
graduating class. Surviving him are
his heartbroken parents and his aged
grandfather, C. H. Dickinson, who
have the sympathy of the community
in their great aff1iction.

EMILY BATES.


Emily Bates was born at Cleveland,
Ohio, on the 18th day of March, 1889.
Had she lived until the 26th day of
March, the day after her funeral, she
would have reached the age of 70 years.
She died on March 23rd, 1918, at the
home of her brother John in the town
of Porter, conscious until the very last
to all of her surroundings. d
In 1854 she came with her parents to
the state of Wisconsin, and in 1856 she
came to the farm upon which she lived
unto the time of her death. She had
two brothers, Charles who died March
2, 1898, and John, the only member of
the family living. When her mother
died on the 9th day of May, 1870, she
was at that time engaged in teaching
school at BoscobeI, Wis, when she re-
signed and came home to keep house
for the family. She was graduate
from the Evansville Seminary and had
obtained state certificate which en-
titled her to teach in any state in the
union. After she graduated she laugh.
school for eight years, and bore the
reputation of being one of the best in
formed and posted women on current
issues of the day. She was great
student of literature, in fact, her mind
always went out into the future to
know more of the hidden mysteries
that had not been revealed to the
human mind. She was deeply inter-
est d in all truth pertaining to tenn
poral things of life as we'll as to the
spiritual and eternal. Few excelled
her in the art of penmanship.
Her funeral was held on Monday af-
ternoon, March 18th. Rev. F. W..
Schoenfeld officiated. Burial took place
at the Fassett cemetery.

tions are in the wind. One Is the
probable necessity of fumigatlng

THE STATE CAMPAIGN

II may now he said that the cam

Novemb Der Is officially opened, and
those who have desire 10 do 80 may
turn their thoughts TO politics for a
short season. With the Llberty loan
drive Just ended. followed by an or
der from the state hoard OF health
prohibiting public meetings, this Is
going to be different campaign
from any the voters have ever seen.
The candidates and Spell-binders
will not be much In evidence because
Of the loan drive. the epidemic OF In
fluenza and the shortness of time
until the date OF the election.
Tho candidates will necessarily be
compelled to contine their cam
paigns, largely. to press bureaus and
personal visits
This unusual condition makes II
incumbent upon the voter to do a
little investigating Of the merits OF
the various candidates on his own
account. Instead OF relying on what
the candidate has heretofore told
him what he expected to DO II elect.

this plan this year. and we feel the
