Former Milbank Man Kills Himself.

Just nine years lacking a day
after his brother John shot himself
with a gun. Lea Malsed, aged "a
years, a former resident of this
city, took carbolic acid and died
a few hours afterward. suffering
agonies. The cause of the suicide
is not known as no further details
have been received by his relatives
in the city.
A telegram containing these facts
was received Monday morning. Lea
Malsed was born near Corona and
lived in this vicinity all Of his life
until about two years ago when he
moved to Colfax, Washington. He
was married IL years ago to Miss
Georgia VanAsch and is survived
by his wife and two little boys.
He is also survived by his father,
his mother having preceded him
in death 3 years ago. two brothers,
Seneca and Louis. both living at
Montrose, Minn.. and two sisters,
Mrs. Harry Bailey of this city and
Mrs. Dean Sanders, now living at
Joplin, Missouri.
The remains were expected to ar
rive last night but no funeral SER
vices have been arranged for.
He will be buried beside his
brother John. The tragic end Of
Lea brings to mind the suicide Of
his brother. who shot himself on
November 3, 1910. Momentary
dependency over his troubles was
said to be the cause of his action.

A Dangerous Proceeding.

Mr.. NJ. H. Wiseman. the rail-
road guard stationed at the Main
street crossing, Gays that every once
in a while some auto driver refuses
to halt his car when he is giving
warning of an approaching train
with his stop signal. Only last
week was an accident averted by
the fact that the engineer was able
to check his speed and practically
stop his engine before reaching the
driveway. when one of these smart
alecs. driving q Limousine. failed to
obey the stop signal. One would
think that when an effort is being
made to protect the. public by hav-
ing man stationed at the crossing
whose sole duty It is to warn people
of danger that all reasonable people
would be willing to promptly obey
the signals Of the watchman and
avoid risk. However, there seems
to be certain class of individuals
who rather enjoy taking q risk.
We do not know as there is any law
for it. but it would be good thing
as warning to others. if the fel-
low who refuses to heed the stop
warning could be arrested and fined,
as he is often times endangering
others as we'll as himself.

African Missionary Talks.

A large gathering turned out at
the Evangelical church last Friday
evening to hear Miss Mary Gam
ertsfelder, a missionary in Africa
now home on furlough. to tell of
her work among the Africans. She
told how these poor heathens live in
small hut surrounded by their goats.
sheep, and chickes. How they fear
the evil spirits. when sickness
comes to them and they think death
is near they take the patient out
doors in the bushes, and let him
die, and the hyena comes to devour
the body, as they never bury their
dead. Sometimes the sick one re-
covers and returns to the hut. The
mother will stay in the bush with
her child till it has passed away.
When the missionaries tell them
they should not be so cruel, they
say they know no better. She also
described their dress, cooking etc.
When they are converted, they are
clean cut christians in every way.
Miss Gamertsfelder had the priv
ilege to travel by way OF Japan,
where she visited our missionaries,
and was greatly interested in the
Japan orphanage, which building
was recently purchased by the mis-
aionaries. costing $l2, 900.
Miss Gamertsfelder is spending
her time going from place to place
and taking free will offerings for
this institution, Miss Gamertsfeld-
er is one of the ten missionaries to
the Evangelical church who are
working under the interdenomina-
tional board in Africa.

Many Parties on Halloween.

Practically everyone had par.
ty' or celebrated in some way OF
other on Halloween. for the evening
was fine and clear. Hordes of small
boys and girls played the usual
pranks, tick tacking the windows,
soaping others, throwing glass on
the porches, and moving everything
that was movable. No damage of
any extent has been reported. and
the boys are the better for their
fun.
Several social parties marked the
evening. A masquerade dance was
given at Harmonic hall under the
Harmonic entertainment company.
1t was we'll attended and all were
masked. Four prizes were given,
Sc for the best dressed and 81 for
the most comical. Miss Stromme
won the ladies prize for being the
best dressed, and Mr.. Meecham won
the mans prize. Miss Gardner
won the ladies prize for the most
comical and the mans prize was
won by Mr.. Robinson.
The Makocha Club had socis ]

The girl scouts club had reg.

eighteen girls there, all dressed up
in costume. some as Indian maid
ems, some as witches, some as
clowns. Red cross nurses, and all
We're masked. A yictrola furnish
ed the music for dancing and games.
Lunch was served and undoubtedly
tasted good as it looked to the
boys who were barred from the par
ty and who were watching them eat
thru the windows. The girls tried
to cover the windows so the boys
"could't even look" as one little
fellow mournfully said, Ind its
our boy scouts home too But
they took the coverings off ;ni al
lowed the boys to gaze without
hindrance.

Home From Nova Scotia.

Mr.. J. A. Dillman who was re-
Gently on a visit to his early home
in Nova Scotia, near Halifax. says
that his impressions were that we
do things on a larger scale in the
west than they do in the east, but
that they do raise a fine lot of men
and women there. He says the war
took fearful toll from the young
men Of Nova Scotia. and cites as an
instance that the church of which
his sister is a member, has twelve
gold stars on its service flag. He
says the living thank God and

Church CAMPAIGN Outlined.

Right Rev. Dean Bartlett, rector
Of the st. Marks. Aberdeen, gave a
fine outline talk of the proposed
program for the Episcopal church
at a smoker at the rectorv last
Tuesday evening. A very small
number of men were there. but
plans were made for continuance
of such meetings and meeting for
Tuesday evening. November 18.
1t has been the trouble Of the
church and almost every other or
ganized body that they had not had
a perspective of the work which
was before them," said Rev. Bart
lett. They have gone blindly in
to a work with no conception Of
what they were going to accom-
plish. We have forestalled that.
Thru our general survey of the
church and the needs of the church
we know just what we have to ac-
complish and we have a vision Of
the great possibilities before US.
There has never been a time when
the issue was so clearly defined.
Eve are out for two things. an
awakening of every member of the
church first, and then we know the
second thing will follow. the con-
tribution Of financial aid to carry
out the program. But we want
most of all to awaken the spiritual
side of the man and that is what
we are going to do.
Rev. Jones will give you further
details Of the program.
The ladies met at the home Of
Mrs. L. Saunders where they were
addressed by Mrs. Ashley, also Of
Aberdeen. Over twenty-five ladies
were present and Mrs. Ashley said
that she was very enthusiastic over
the reception she received here.

Legion Meeting November Is.

Due to a mistake on the part of
one of the officers of the Legion the
meeting scheduled for the fourth
Thursday of October was not very
we'll attended. The laws of the or
ganization call for a meeting every
second and fourth Thursdays of the
month and members will please re-
member this and be present.
Quite a number of new members
have been secured and the Legion is
growing. But there are great
number of men who should be
members who are not. In Grant
county there is estimated to be be-
tween $50 and 500 returned service
men. Perhaps fifty per cent of
these men could not be members of
this post, due to the fact they live
in extreme corners of the county.
and could not attend. But there
are a great many men who could be
members who are asked to join.
The membership is belowlO0 which
is the goal set for the post here.
Wake up, service men, get into this
organization which is yours and
which will be great benefit to you
later in life. Ask any member of
the G. A. r. if he is sorry he join
ed that organization: ask him if he
has not received a welcome in a
strange city because he was G. A.
R. member that he would not have
received otherwise. Your member
ship in this post will make you a
member all over the country and
every members a brother. Join this
post and Boost Grant county.

The wide awake business man to-
day is eager to keep pace with the
latest ideas Of storekeeping and
better ideas in merchandising and
these pictures and lecture come to
our city at an opportune time.
The lecture covers: Retail fail
ures-their causes; store oreaniza-
tion; newspaper advertising; win
dow display; clerks efficiency: SELL
ing methods; credit business: de-
livery problems, and system in re-
tail business.
Any one of these subjects would
be of great interest to the mer-
chants and clerks and the one in
particular which should receive
favorable consideration from the
business man to-day is the value of
newspaper neutrality-suspicious.
" and constantly used. The lec-
turer will give some useful hints
along these lines, as we'll as other
phases of efficiency methods that
will be helpful to the merchant and

Not Enough Enumefators.

At the examination called for
census enumerators last Monday,
over which Postmaster C. w. Mar
tens had supervision. there were
only eleven applicants to take the
examination. As there are some
81 precincts exclusive of the city
of Milbank, eleven census takers
will not be sufficient to do the
work, even should all of these
qualify, and it may be possible that
another examination may have to
be had. January in this climate is
a hard month to 60 around in, and
on that account the work is not
the most inviting.
