H. WEBER KILLED

An accident occurred at the Her
NAH Weber home in Brown County,
which resulted in the instant death of
Mr.. Weber, wellknown and highly
respected resident of that county.
Mr.. Weber had an overabundance of
trees in his yard and decided to fell
one that grew near the woodshed.
Assisted by his SON Leonard, he COM
pleted saving the tree near the base
and when it fell the branches became
caught in those of another tree, grow
ing near by. In order to 'disentapgle
the branches Mr.. Weber placed lad
der against the shed and climbed to
the roof. He succeeded in freeing the
tree but when it fell Mr.. Weber lost
his balance and fell from the roof,
striking his head on the stump of the
tree he had just felled, crushing his
skull and causing death.

Eclipse Seen
by Thousands
Saturday A. N.
HUNDREDS OF REDWOOD COUN-
TY PEOPLE WATCH SPEC
TACLE OF MOON OBSCURTNG
SUN.

Saturday morning, starting at 1888
A. NJ, scientists had their first op
,portunity to view a total eclipse OF
the sun using modern scientific ap-
paratus. In New York city and
throughout the New England states
the view of the phenomenon was per-
feet, but in northern Michigan and
Wisconsin, where many students of
astronomy had gathered to watch the
eclipse, the low hanging clouds COM
pletely obscured the passing Of the
moon across the face .f the sun, al
! though at the same time the clouds
added to the total darkness that set
in at GIL A. NJ. and lasted for about
minute.
Many Redwood Falls people saw
their first total eclipse at this time,
and a ,9oodly number Of smoked
glasses, old films and few telescopes
were trained on the spectacle. The
eclipse did not reach totalty here, but
was about 96 percent total at 8:O1
O'Clock. At that time the city was
enveloped in the darkness of twilight,
but it was too soon after sunrise to
be at all noticeable
A fleet of airships lowering over
Minneapolis and st. Paul secured sew
eral excellent photographs of the
eclipse, and a huge diligible broad
casted the progress Of the event
'round by round" The possibility
of broadcasting from airplanes was
demonstrated during the eclipse, and
those who were stationed at their re-
ceiving sets were kept fully informed
of the proceedings.
Observers in Duluth and other
northern Minnesota cities which were
in the range of totality were unable
to watch the phenomenon, due to a
low hanging bank of clouds. In Du-
luth, however, automobiles and
streetcars turned on the lights for
space CT a few minutes during
the totality period. It is reported
that in Toronto, Canada, and in many
places along the line of total dark
ness the chickens hurried to their
roosts and owls flew about as in the
night.
AS this is probably the last total
eclipse which will be seen in this vi
entity for about century and a gu
arter, those who did not take advant-
age of the opportunity to see the
moon cut a slice out Of the sun pass
ed up what may have been their only
chance to watch an event of this kind

pany has ten more phones in opera
ton than at the same time last year.
The Company has no outstanding
indebtedness except the bonds which
are practically all held by local PEG
pie. These may be retired on March
LIST, 1926, and special fund is being
set aside to retire these bonds. AL
though the management does not hope
to be able to retire the entire issue
when due, it is hoped that at that
time an arrangement may be made
that will prove beneficial to both the
bond holders and the Company.
The usual dividend of six per cent
was paid and, considering that thi;
is public utility and also that this
is perhaps bigger dividend than any
commercial bank in the county will
pay this year, the stockholders are
to be congratulated.
The Company is being operated at
a minimum of expense, only two peo-
pie being steadily employed to oper-
ate the entire plant. To George
Gaedy, the manager, and to Miss
Mollie Joern, his able assistant, is
due much of the credit for the very
efficient service rendered.
Let it be known also that automa-
tic service is being furnished to pa
irons in Redwood Falls at from 25
cents to so cents less per phone than
the charge made for the manual SER
vice in many OF the surrounding towns
of the same population. This in
spite of the statement made by a
member of the Railroad and Ware
house Commission who was at the
hearing held mere two years ago, this
member stating that automatic SER
vice is worth to the patron at least
fifty cents more per phone.
At the Tuesday meeting the follow
ing stockholders were elected as the
Board of Directors; R. Stensvad, J.

THIRD NUMBER OF LECTURE
COURSE WELL RFCEIV WE'D
THURSDAY EVENING CHARLES
SANFORD FEBRUARY 3rd.

One of the most successful numbers
of the Lyceum Course thus far pre-.
sented was given by the Chicago Lyric
Singers last Thursday evening. The
artists formed quartet and the solos
duets and quartet numbers which they
sang were of type far superior to
the usual entertainments of this
character.
The most popular features in this
evenings entertainment were the old
duets, including "Love's Old Sweet
Song" and "Comin' Through the
Rye; contralto solo, ga Creole Love
Song and the quartet arrangement
of the Anvil Chorus. A musical set
ting of James Whitcomb Riley's fam
Gus poem, Little Orphan Annie" was
very cleverly presented. as was a
humorous musical reading, the "Spider
and the Fly" The quartet was also
extremely pleasing in the several
heavier numbers sung.
Several numbers, including GAIL
Through the Night" by the quartet,
and "Roses of Picardy" as duet, were
sung in Welsh costume, while several
other selections including the Anvil
Chorus were sung in Gypsy Costume
The entertainment was very we'll
attended and all reports show that it
was the most popular of any number
of this years Lyceum Program thus
far presented.
The next number of the course will
be given by Charles Sanford, on the
evening of February 3rd. Mr.. San
ford will give a lecture on vocations,
with the aim of pointing out just what
types of persons are suited to engage
in the various professions and trades.
Mr.. Sanford is a vocationalist of
note and his lecture will be of inter-
est to everyone.

POLISH Terror
MEETS HIS FATE
Killed BY Communists,
Labor Movement Glad
espeeIaI to The oaIIy workerl

WARSAW, Poland, Aug. 20. - The
king Of the agents provocateurs Of the
Polish government, ceehnowski, IS
dead. cechnowsk, who can be COM
pared only to Azeff in the Russian
revolutionary movement, was killed by
a young Communist, Botwin.
Cechnowski, who was chief OF the
governments spy organization. was
prominent member of the social-demo-
cratic party Of Poland and Lithuania.
This party became the Communist
Party, and Cechnowski was a MEMBER
of the district committee in Warsaw.
He is responsible for hundreds Of ar
rests of the best comrades in the
party, including many members Of the
central executive committee.
Caused Deaths Of Workers.
The spy became exposed in the Ba-
ginski and Weczorkiewicz trial. It was
his false testimony on which the court
condemned them to death. They were
to be exchanged by the Soviet gov
ernment but were murdered on the
way.
On July II three comrades, Gibner,
Rutkowski and Kniewski, were en-
gagged in battle with this beast when
the Warsaw polire interfered. Fifteen
of the police were killed or wounded
and after these three comrades were
wounded they were arrested. The
bloody Polish government is preparing
the gallows for them.
But Cechnowsh got what was COM
ing to him. From Warsaw he went
to Lemberg for the trial of the young
Communist, Botwin, who killed him.
Labor ReIoices-
The whole labor movement in Po-
land rejoices in the death OF this rat
who has for so long preyed upon the
workers. The police arrested Comrade
BOtwin, but they did not get a single
word from him. They tortured him,
but the only answer they received
was. Il did my Communist duty"
i Mass arrests are now going on in
Lemberg. The reactionary press is
demanding a mass terror against the
Communists.

turning point should not be denied
Hope for Ditmar.
Ditmar had acted decently during
the trial. He had admitted having
been fascist. He had not betrayed
his comrades. This had been proved
by the declaration of the prosecutor
that the statements of Ditmar follow.
ed the confession of Kindermann. The
accusation of treachery returned to
Kindermann. Ditmar had given reas.
ons for his change of mind. Could
it be believed that from the Ehrhardt
theology of yesterday a way out were
POSSIBLE?
The defending counsel believed that
the experiences of the last few months
had made a great impression upon the
accused. The truthfulness of his
change of mind should and could not
be denied. Ditmar was fully aware
Of his complete isolation. He could
expect no assistance from the Esthon-
ian government. There could be NO
doubt that the paragraph 81 applied to
the case, but not the paragraph Ga re.
ferring to terrorist intent. It was
doubtful If the activity of Ditmar in
the preparation OF the terrorist acts
was covered by this paragraph.
II the conviction existed that Dit
mar, in consequence of the things seen
by him in Russia, had freed himself
from the suggestion of terrorism, then
perhaps in his case the principle that
not only the carrying out OF terrorist
acts, but also the intent to carry out
terrorist acts should be punished, did
not apply. Trotsky had declared that
the terror is powerless against ris.
ing class. This class had the right
to exercise generosity and indulgence
Workers Angry At German Legation
Whilst the accused Wolscht gave up
his earlier attitude and appeared com.
pletely broken down, Kindermann
maintained, tho fear showed in his
eyes, in his declarations, his insolence
and provocation tho with faltering
voice.
In the course OF the session, the
Legationsrat Hilger appeared in the
court. This tactlessness called forth
general Indignation, all the more as
public opinion is by no means con.
WINGED that there is no connection be.
tween Hilger and the accused.
Horrorsl @. P. v. Passed ciaarets. ,
The fifteenth session opened with
the speech Of Kindermann in his own
defense. He repeated and summarized
his former statements. He declared
in his well known mesalomania that
