FATALLY BURNED WHEN
FLAMES DESTROY HOME

Mrs. Jane Hurst, aged 76, was IA
tally burned last Friday morning
morning when her home in the South
Fork district, where she lived alone,
was destroyed by fire that presum-
ably started from a defective CHM
ney.
Mrs. Hurst had evidently just COM
pleted starting the morning fires,
when she. discovered a blaze upstairs
She telephoned to the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Walter w. Wilcox
and then went back to try and extin-
guish the flames. Mr.. Wilcox and 9th
er neighbors arrived immediately aft
er her phone call, and found her lying
unconscious and badly burned on the
floor upstairs. She was carried to
safety and given surgical care, but
death came that evening.
The flames had gained great head
way and the house was totally de
stroyed. Its loss was partially COW
cred by insurance.
An obituary notice for Mrs. Hurst
is published in another column OF
this paper.

KATHERINE RIDGEWAY

Katherine Ridgeway. who will APP
pear here on the Lyceum course
Tuesday evening, is today acknowl-
edged to be one of the best known
readers in her particular line in the
United States. She seldom appears
except on the largest courses in Am
erica and on many of these courses
she has appeared five to eight times
each. In fact, she has been repeated
ly and enthusiastically received in
nearly every city in the United
States.
Miss Ridgeway gives an evening OF
varied readings instead of an entire
program of a single story or play.
However, she believes that these var
led selections should be linked, as it
were. by definite idea of life which
in this instance is an uplift. In this
connections hundreds of press MOTTO
es could be printed if space permitted
telling not only of Miss Ridgeway's
great art but also of her great mes
sage.
Katherine Ridgeway has an uner-
ring Judgment in deciding what peo-
pie like. She puts the most conscien-
tious effort into preparing her pro-
gram.

FARM BUILDINGS BURN

The house and barn on the place
known.as the Coggeshall farm in
Pleansant Valley. were destroyed by
fire on Tuesday night of last week.
No one was living on the place at the
time and the origin Of the fire is UNI
known. There are rumors that there
were indications of incendiarism, and
that the State Fire Marshal's Office
may investigate.
The farm was recently purchased
from the Coggeshall estate by Mr.
Tuttle Of Minneapolis and Messrs
Spriggs and w. Segerstrom of this
city. There had just been completed
improvements on the buildings and il
was planned to have the farm occu-
pied in the Spring.

Communication


The warning printed in various
county papers and distributed thruout
| the county by handbills was very in
| teresting reading, but it made ne. cur
ious to find out more about it.
| know that meeting was to be hello
in the Hesum schoolhouse on Friday
evening, Jan. 18th, and that Mr.. Sey-
forth was to be present. He started
out to attend the meeting, but got
stuck in a snowdrift and had to turn
back. An Ellsworth doctor was called
out to neighbor the same evening,
ard reached his destination at three
o'clock the next morning
How many were present at. that
meeting? What was the vote for and
against the proposed countrywide
test? Was the vote on the district
school-meeting order, where one says
Eyes and the others keep quiet
Who were the committee elected to
tell the world about it :? If they knew
that they stated the truth and their
own honest convictions in the resolu-
ton, why could they not sign their
names? Why should Mr.. Seyforth be
subject to especial criticism?
/ am well acquainted with number
Of farmers living in the Herum dis
trict, and / do not believe they would
do anything like that. Very likely
it is frame-up by the radical ele-
ment that may be found in any town,
and, if so, we would like to know
about it. Let us play the game fair
ly. Bring your proofs, if you have
any. If the tuberculin test is a detri-
ment to the dairy industry the rest of
US should know about it.
What we know about tuberculosis
has been told US by men who have
made a life study of the disease.
They are known and honored the
world over for their researches and
discoveries. Bang, of Copenhagen,
one of the highest authorities, said:
"When tuberculin produces typical
reaction, we may be almost sure that
there exists in the body of the animal
a tubercular process. 1t is not to be
denied that fever, entirely accident
al and of short duration, may in some
rare cases have simulated a reaction;
however this may be, the errors COM
mitted in wrongly condemning an oc-
casional animal is of no practical con-
sequence"
Fewer than one per cent OF the cat
tie tested in Barron county reacted
and were condemned when the county
was cleaned up. Using the figures
given by the Department of Agricul-
ture as to the accuracy of the test,
less than ten of the cattle were doubt
full, out of a total of $1,000 tested,
and as indemnities were paid by the
state, the owners stood to lose prac-
ticaliy nothing. The greatest loss of
that kind in the northern sy u,iSHRD
is in the condenlning of pure-bred
cattle, and there are mighty few of
that kind in the northern part of Mar
tell township.
The owners of pure bred herds are
willing almost without exception to
test, realizing the great necessity OF
doing so to prevent the spread Of the
scourge. / have signed the petition
and am going to urge everyone to dc
so, believing it the only proper way
to get rid of the most dangerous dis
ease in the history of the world.
