WILLMAR DENTIST DIES
WHILE IN SWIMMING

A death very similar to the recent
tragedy here in Lake Redwood, took
place at Willmar when DR.. ]. o. Nell
ermoe of the Willmar clinic was
stricken by heart failure while in
swimming in Green Lake. Efforts to
revive him by artificial respiration
methods were futile and an examina-
ton revealed he had died from heart
trouble and not drowning. DR.. Nell
ermoe had been practicing dentistry
in Willmar for about year.
The doctor, who was with a group
of men from Willmar had leased a
cottage at the lake, had taken party
including two young women and an
other man for a ride around the lake
in his speed boat. When far out in
the lake one of the girls suggested
the boat be stopped and they go for
a swim.
AS soon as the motor was shut off
one of the girls dived off the boat to
be followed by the rest of the party.
When DR.. Nellermoe came to the sur
face it was obvious he was in dis
tress and his man companion swan
to his aid. Getting life preserver
from the boat they aided him in get
ting back to the boat but his efforts
became more feeble and he finally
lapsed into Inconsistencies. Anoth-
er motor boat in the vicinity was
hailed and the stricken mon xuos tok-
en- ashore where he received medical
assistance.
DR.. Nellermoe was born at Buffalo
Lake, Renville county, and was but
"a years old at the time of his death.
He finished his preliminary education
in the public schools there and later
attended Carleton College before 60
ing to the University of Minnesota.
He served as lieutenant in the army
during the war and has been prom
inent in American Legion activities.

Last fall. the coach of a midwestern
college invited friend to visit him
one weekend. The invitation was ac-
cepted and the host took his guest to
a football game in the afternoon on
Saturday.
Not so very many out for the game
today" observed the young man who
accompanied the coach to the bench
on the sidelines.
Nor did we expect much of a crowd.
We are playing small college which
isn't known and none OF its players
are known in football circles in the
state or conference
The game started. At once, the local
college rooters STARTED the yells under
the direction of gymnastic cheer
leader. At first the yells were semi
savage chants for the purpose of show
ing the team that the whole student
body was behind it.
Then the right haliback, a lanky
youngster named Graham was men
toned in number Of yells. Repeat
edly, the 300 students joined in yells
urging Graham to go over for a touch
down. Just before the end of the first
quarter the left halfback, a red
headed youth called like" carried the
ball 20 yeards and planted it square,
ly behind the goal post. The cheer
leaders called for the locomotive yell
ending with "Ike's" name. The stu
dents, faculty and even the subs on
the bench Joined in.
In the second half, Graham picked
up tumble and bolted across the
goal line for the second touchdown of
the game. Pandemonium reigned
Programs, hats, blankets and pillows
we're thrown in the air. The yells
which followed would have made an
Apache Indian jealous. Graham's
name was chanted from the lips of
every student in the grandstand. The
referee was unable to stop the wild
demonstration until the coach, fearing
penalty, jumped up and waved his
arms.
In the locker rooms, after the game,
the visitor asked the coach why
Graham should have been SO much
honored while ike" had done equally
as much to win the game. THE boys
are good pair" said the coach,
Graham has been here three years
and is better than Ike who is playing
his first year. More students know
Graham and he is a popular fellow.
He has more chances to carry the ball
and when he makes touchdown, the
kids go wild. Ike is quiet and not
well known, and his touchdown did
not register quite so big. I guess you
might say that Graham is advertised
and known and naturally the kids in
the bleachers demand that he carry
the ball more often and naturally he
makes more touchdowns. AS matter
OF fact, he and Ike play about the
same game"
Advertising has helped many a
salesman win the game against a
little-known rival-Meredith's.

Some Discomforts in Early Railroad
Travel

When railroading in this country
was in the experimental stage, now
more than century ago, traveller
related in an article published in pa
pers of that time how he had to wait
on the platform of the station at
Charleston, S. C., for several hours
after the scheduled departure of his
train so the engineer and fireman
might test their engine by running it
back and forth.
AS he, with other passengers, were
seated in the tiny cars, the engine
finally tugged and pulled until the
train was well under way; but soon
it began to slow down, and before
long it stopped. Pine knots were
showed into the furnace door, steam
was raised, and the little train was
on its way again, but stopping every
so often to get up team."-Kansas

An Interesting Fact.
"The Original Disappearing Gun"

"The Original Disappearing Gun.
History records that political cor
ruption is not confined to the present
day. Our limited space precludes any
lengthy discussion, hence we shall be
content with but single instance.
1t was in November, 1874, that the
beginnings of an american Republi-
can" or "Native American" political
party was announced in Baltimore
newspaper, convention of which or
ganization or party was held in
Baltimore on March 5, 1S45. This af-
forwards became known as the Know
Nothing party, which became in effect
a secret society, with passwords, grips
and degrees. When members of the
party were asked concerning the prin-
ciples of the party, they would an
swer, 81 know nothing" Hence the
name. The party played an important
part in Maryland politics and affairs.
With the rise of the party by sue
ceeding successes, both in the City of
Baltimore and throughout the State, it
seems to have disregarded all rules as
to order and decency, as shown in the
municipal election in Baltimore in the
fall of 1857. Many of the clubs re-
joiced in such names as "Red Necks,"
Grip Raps," "Black Snakes" "Blood
