SCHIMANSKY SISTERS DROWN
IN WISCONSIN LAKE
Misses Callie and Josie Schimansky,
Sisters of MinOt Lumberman, Meet
Tfagic Death Saturday.

Benno Schimansky, a we'll known
lumberman Of this city, who is con-
nected with the Piper-Howe Lumber
Co., received a telegram Saturday
from his brother Otto, in st. Paul, car
rying the sad intelligence that their
two sisters, Miss Josie Schimansky
and Miss Callie Schimansky, had
drowned in lake in Wisconsin, where
they were spending their summer va
cation. Mr.. Schimansky left at once
for the east to attend the funeral.
Otto Schimansky, who is banker
at Solen, N. D., had left for St. Paul
the dav before the terrible tragedy oc-
Cured, intending to spend his vaca-
ton with his sisters at the lake
Miss Callie Schimansky was well
known in North Dakota, having been
employed in the county auditors Of
flee at Mandan in 1909. The sympathy
Of many friends of the Schimansky
family thruout the state, is extended.
The following dispatch from St.
Paul tells the sad story of the death
of the two sisters:
Two St. Paul young women, Miss
Caroline G. and Miss Josephine l..
Schimansky, who lived with their
mother at 1861 Hauge Avenue, were
drowned Monday in Sand Lake, near
Webster, Wis.
Miss Caroline Schimansky was Sec
rotary in the office of DR.. s. G. Cobb,
her sister was Superintendent of
Nurses at Cobb hospital Merriam
Park.
The young women with their broth
er, +. A. Schimansky, who is employed
at the postoffice, left St. Paul Sunday
for Webster to spend their vacation.
On Monday they went fishing in Sand
Lake. One Of the girls hooked large
fish and turned the pole over to her
brother who was standing in the bow
Of the boat. While he was trying to
land the fish he heard splash in the
water behind him.. Turning, he saw
that the stern Of the boat was under
water.
He said he became tangled in the
line as the boat began to sink and he
was unable to assist his sisters. He
freed himself from the line just after
the young women had disappeared be-
low the surface of the lake. Schiman-

occurred at IL a. m. The bodies were
recovered at 2 p. m.

Lice Attack the Grasshoppers.


Orlando Brown and several other
farmers have called the independents
attention to the fact that little red lice
that work under the wings Of the
grasshoppers have started the de-
struction Of the pests. Whether the
lice will destroy the grasshoppers be-
fore the pests get in their work Of de-
struction Of the grain, IS problemati-
cal, and it is advisable for the grow
ers to adopt the safe method, that Of
graduating the grasshoppefs. nf.
Brown saw many dead grasshoppers
with their wings eaten on BY the lice
and believes that the lice will prove Of
much assistance to the farmers IN their
fight on the pests. In the meantime
the farmers are putting out poison
everywhere. Just as fast Is the bran
can be prepared, it ID hauled to cen
trail locations IN the various townships,
where II is wisely distributed. The
county has not been able TO get III the
bran needed, hence there has been
some delay, but the county agent and
his force Ire working faithfully and
well. While some damage Il being
done TO the grain, it is believed that
the crop In general will be saved and
the money spent for poison will thus
bring good returns.

A RIDICULOUS REFERENDUM.

Many people in Hardin county and
probably in other counties will be
surprised when they come to vote un-
der the provisions of the new road law
to discover that they will not be able
to express their preference for or
against gravel or paved roads. There
is no such option in the new road law.
The voting under the law is confined
to two propositions, the voting Of au-
thority to the county board of super
visors to issue road bonds and to pave
primary roads if the federal govern
ment requires paving before 1t will
grant federal aid Either one or both
of these propositions may be submit

county the bond issue will not be sub
mitted.

THE QUESTION IN DISASTER.
Hort Dodge Messenger

Just now the attention of the state OF
Iowa is directed upon Cedar Rapid,
and the causes Of the recent disaster
which carried toll OF fourteen known
dead and the work Of rescue going on
for thirty-fve other bodies. AS the
hours pass the situation seems 10 be
clothed more and more in mystery.
Following the explosion the officials
|of the company refused, according TO
press reports. to give out any statistics
regarding loss Of life or property. This
same silence has prevailed when other
kind Of information has been sought.
The attitude on the part Of company
officials affords the public and right
thinging persons ample ground for
conjecture. Was the largest factory of
its kind in the world properly inspected
and safeguarded? Was the company
manufacturing product the contents
Of which were all that the purchaser
expected of it? Was the company
procedure so as to be above reproach
These are questions that the public
is bordering over when the officials
refuse to talk. Employees have testi-
fed before the coroner that there had
been small boiler explosion day or
so before. Others say that there mad
been some explosives in the plant used
in the manufacture of supplies for the
government during the war.
The company may not be aware of
the fact but it is injuring itself in Its
present silence. A disaster cannot
always be averted and in such situa-
ton the most that a concern can do
is to furnish all available statistics.
The public will not censure manage
ment until juries have revealed the
truth. But the matter of secrecy in
every respect places a heavy veil OF
suspicion over the company's business
habits.
The mistake ie too often made OF
Withholding definite information from
the public when it has thread OF
knowledge upon which to base convic-
tons Honest and fair publicity of
activities serves to carry assurance
that the persons or institutions are
endeavoring to conduct affairs in
manner in which they are not ashamed.
This is true especially in the case OF
sudden disaster.

Jumped on = car. placed himself be-
tween two OF che coaches with the In
tsntion OF riding u few feet and "a
show his companions how clever he
was. When ne undertook 70 alight. he
fell on the platform, Just few inches
from the moviag train and fortunately
was able to keep from going under the
wheels Of the train. Tie received nc
injuries but all who saw the affair re-
ceived the fright OF their lives and n
number expressed their opinion In
strong terms Of such foolish trick.
Most every boy reaches the place In
his life when In order to be regarded
as real member OF the crowd In which
he goes he thinks he has to do some
thing daring and unusual. jumping
on trains Is common practice with
boys and as matter Of fact. they usu-
ally do so without injury, considering
the number Of times the trick is done.
However. there are many times when
the results are disastrous. There is
absolutely no necessity for such things
being done and Ii would seem tha:
boys would have better Judgment than
to indulge in such form OF sport. The
railway companies do everything they
can to discourage such things but in
spite Of this MANY OF these accidents
occur every year. There rs state
law which. IL enforced. would prevent
people having no business at a station
being close to a train and be IL said Ia
the credit OF Agent Smith. he tries his
best to SEQ that this law Is enforced
But he can not attend to all OF his du-
ties and at the same time watch all OF
the coaches.
Just reasonable supply OF good old
fashioned every day common sense
would prevent most station railway ac-
cidents.

Every now and then some good
town reioices over the fact that 1t has
been made still a better town. A lot
of undesrables have been driven out
of that city. OF course. they filter
back in the course Of time. But the
politicians and the police have shown
that they are alert and the good peo-
pie note with qualification the fact
that there has been another clean up.
Aside from the fact that these clean
ups are of little or no benefit to the
city where they occur, what Of the rest
of the country? What of the other
cities or towns that experience an in
flux Of undesirables whenever such a
It may be claimed that every city,
every community, must look out for
itself. And yet community that lives
on the banks of a stream can stop
other communities that live nearer the
source from polluting that stream.
Is there great difference between
the fellow and the town that pollutes
the stream from which you draw your
water supply. and the other town that
unloads its undesirables upon you?
1t may also be asked how i. is to
benefit these undesirables, how they
can be improved or regenerated, by
driving them from the city where
they have been making their home,
perhaps on a few hours notice. A
character in one of Dickens stories, a
street waif. objected to something Of
the kind. He was always being Inov-
ed on by the police, and he believed
that there would be no rest for him
until he was moved to the burying
ground.
Some day we shall find better
way. For the present, people will con-
tinue to point with pride to their effi-
cient officers who order an occasional
cleanup.

THE MAP MAKERS DIFFICULTIES.

A series Of maps with explanatory
or in the interest of the Italian gov
eminent in an effort to justify the po-
sition taken by Italy regarding Fiume.,
The statement is made and con-
hrmsd by the maps that Fiume is not
necessary to Jugo- Slavia as port:
that other ports exist many so states
the. note, from Fiume to the lower
parts of Albania" It is states that ru-
merous ports exist on the Croatian
coast. some small and serving only a
small section, others large, well equip
ped and served by rail and wagon
roads. The argument is assisted by
the statement that prior to the war
only per cent of Croatian traffic and
prising Jugo-Slavia passed thru the
port of Ffume. Five other ports are
named and described In detail among
the Buccari said to be the finest nat
ural harbor on the Adriatic'. The
treaty Of London" says the Italian
note, leaves to the Jugo Slavs more
than a dozen large ports and about
500 miles of coast line"
The Italians profess to fear the
Jugo Slavas and point out that Fiume
is one of the natural inlets Of invasion
recalling that the Hun invasion of
943 and Of the Visigoths under Alaric
were thru the pass of Fume. With
this the note asserts:
Until the defeat OF Austria these
passes were in the hands of the central
powers, and put Italy at the mercy Of
the Hun hordes which included the
Creations. Bosnians. Slovenes and
HerZegovinias. who now become the
new kingdom Of Jugo Slavia. The at
titude Of the new kingdom, since the
armintice, coupled with its past his
tory, does not seem to inspire the
greatest confidence on the part Of italy
in the good intentions or friendliness
OF Jugo Slavia.
It is not hard to understand how
showing like that made by the maps
and the explanatory notes Joined to
the fact of hereditary enmity stir the
people Of italy to loud protest and at
fords some conception Of the difficult
les which confront a council of forty
or four or two when it sets out to re-
organize peoples and create new maps
of the world.
