MemOrial-Miss Magnetic Rogers
Death is but starlit strip between
the cOmpanionships of yesterday and
the reunion of tomorrow"
Mary Jeanette, fourth of the eight
children of William and Louisa Ed
wards Rogers, pioneers of Beetown,
Grant county, Wisconsin, was born at
BeetoWn, Nov. 6, 1864, where she grew
to womanhood, beloved by all who
came within the radius of her ac-
quaintance. Light and laughter went
with her presence into many homes.
In 1890 she removed with her parents
to Lancaster where she had since re-
sided until she passed the portals of
Gods Gate after one weeks illness,
Sept. 25, 1925. A little brother, Matth-
eW, father, mother and sister, Mrs.
Nellie Ziegler, preceded to the spirit
land. There survive to deplore her de-
parture, three sisters, Mrs. E. j. Aus
tin of Lancaster, Mrs. Glenn Smith of
CassVille and Mrs. w. D. Clark of Be-
lott; two brothers, Amos Of Beetown
and Glen in the West; many nephews
and nieces, and many, many friends.
Magnetic, as she was affectionately
known, dedicated her life to the Mas
ter's cause in the Congregational
church at BeetOwn many years ago.
After removal to this city her mem
bership was transferred to the First
Congregational church here. How well
she has kept the faith the shining rec
ords of her work in the Sunday school,
in the fraternaI associations Of the
church and the impress of her life on
the community will tell more forcibly
than words. however eloquent, can
express. 1t was Maynette's desire that
at her demise no fulsome words be
said. Her pastor, Rev G.. A. McKin-
ley, conducted the funeral services
amidst a large attendance at the home
Of Mr.. and Mrs. e. J. Austin, Monday,
at 200 D. M, Sept. 18th. Burial was
at Beetown where sleep her parents,
brother and other relatives.
1T Death were all, then would we
helpless be;
Just drifting craft upon lffe's stormy
sea;
No harbor lights to loving welcome
give;
No haven safe in which tired souls
may live.
Death is not all; Faith bridges still
the tide,
Where to oblivion the soul would
ride;
Then Death is but the glorious eros
sing DER
To Gods eternal, holy, promised
shore.
Death is not all! It's shadows deep
shall lift,
And hope shall bring to all Gods
greatest gift
Immortal life. In conquering triumph
bend
Thy head to death, for death is not
the end" B. D. S..

were thrown from their machine and
Jones suffered a fractured skull. He
died Immediately.
Heroic action by his wife saved the
life of J. A. Patchin, Chetek farmer,
when the man was attacked by bull
he was leading to his barn. The bull
had Patchin down when Mrs. Patchin
seized the enraged animal by the
horns She was able to hold the ami
NAL until the husband could reach
safety in a manger. Patchin held on
to the staff he was using to lead the
bull with, thus preventing it from at

but will recover.
An ancient Indian effigy mound
the only survivor of a once fine group
of Indian earthworks at Mansion
has Just been identified by Charles E.
Brown. secretary of the Wisconsin Ar
Genealogical society, who visited the
mound at the request of Assemblyman
Clinton c. Price. The mound belongs
to the panther or water spirit" type
which was once abundant. The water
spirit was an important and much
feared deity of the early redmen of
the state, and many earthen images of
the deity were built in order to grain
his favor. The water spirit was be-
lieved to inhabit springs, lakes, and
other water courses. Interesting le-
gends of the water spirit concerning
Devils lake, Green lake and other
Wisconsin lakes are preserved.

GIRLS FIGHT OVERTIME
Elcho-Eagle River Basketeers
Stage Double Tie Without
Accredited Score.

In last Friday nights basket ball
game played at Elcho between
Elcho and Eagle River boy and girl
teams, the girls, while placed in
the preliminaries, were the star
performers, and had the fans up
in the air over their spectacular
playing. At the end of the regu-
lar spaced periods in a regularly
timed game, the game was a tie.
Then the time was extended for
! fifteen minutes in order to create
winning score, but in this there
was nothing doing for the girls on
both teams went it at faster clip
and still held each other even. In
order to keep the schedule and
give the regular teams a show, the
game was called and mo honors'
resulted. According to the fans
from home and from Elcho this
game should have been extended
into the regular big event, for the
playing of both girl teams was of
such quality that it was big league
stuff and really a brilliant exhibi-
ton Of basket ball. Another game
will be scheduled possibly at Eagle
River between the Elcho and our
home girls, and fans will be given
their moneys worth.
The regular teams then took the
floor, but with score of 27-7 in
favor of Eagle River, it did not
produce the excitement that the
preliminary girls game did.
Friday night Three Lakes boy
and girl teams come up and play
in the gym. This is a return game
and from reports down in Oneida
county the games give promise of
being snappy. The season for bas-
ket ball is getting short and not
many more games are due the fans
for this year. So far the boys
have not lost a game and with luck
breaking right, ought to finish
with a record as perfect as that of
Eagle Rivers last year team.

A Mighty Good Daily.

Mondays issue of the Rhinelan-
der Daily News came as a surprise
to the public, it having donned an
entirely new dress and with an en-
tirely new bunch of owners. The
News was purchased by Michigan
parties a month ago of w. R.
Jaeger and others of Rhinelander,
and is being run on par with the
papers which the present combine
of owners are handling in this
northern part of the States. Cliff
ford G. Ferris, an able newspaper
man is at the helm, and from his
past record and the present APP
pearance of the News knows just
what is in the making of a bully
good live newspaper. Mr.. Jaeger,
former editor, will rest for some
time and without doubt will get
into the game again. Once in, it
is usually hard to break out of,
this newspaper business.

Day Dreams

Gee, that calendar is lazy,
When the winter seasons on.
Nearly sets a fellow crazy;
Til the zero weather's gone.
Up til New-year; faint so dreary,
Then the time begins to drag,
And a fellow gets SO weary
He begins to shirk and lag.
Counting days, till next vacation,
When the office work is canned;
And he'll find the recreation
For which he has worked and planned.
Load the camp kit on the fiivver,
Take the wife and kids along,
Drive to some good lake or river,
Leave behind the noisy throng.
Happy days for which he's wishing,
May his fondest dreams come true,
Bringing happy days of fishing,
"Here is hoping this means YOU"
