ing Ships Safe.

NEW YORK, February 9.-The
American Steamship g. Tourist Agents
Association has just completed an
investigation of travel statistics which
has brought out some interesting fig
ures. While there have been q few
recent marine accidents, a study of
the records of travel by steamer shows
that passengers on board ship really
travel in less danger than they would
be subject to in the course OF their
usual routine life ashore.
Steamship nliShaps are exceedingly
rare. AS a matter of fact, figures
provided by the Transatlantic Con-
ference. composed of all of the great
passenger lines engaged in trans
atlantic services, indicate that for the
15-year period commencing with the
end of the World War not a single
ship engaged exclusively in trans
atlantic passenger service had been
lost. During this period the ships
of the Transatlantic Conference lines
made some $4,000 voyages and car
ried more than 100000 passengers.
This record does not, of course. take
into consideration mishaps by small
freight ships which are not equipped
with the safety devices of passenger
steamers.
U. S. Figures Cited.
Figures released by the Department
of Commerce show that during the
10 fiscal years ending June 30, 1884,

Natives Seen to Walk.

witch-doctors endowed with the power
to kill victims with handshake, were

former British medical officer in

Africa teens with magic" he said,
land I, as a medical man, cannot
explain it.
Il once saw natives walk through a
pit of fire-so hot that I coulGn' t
get within u feet of it. They came
out unSinged and then stepped into
kettles of water which boiled and
sizzled. One was a woman with a
baby in her arms. Another was a
man carrying a garland of flowers
Neither baby nor flowers suffered"
Three Types of Murder.
DR.. Kirkland said there were three
types of murder by witchcraft" that
he had personally observed.
l. The handshake of death. Bent
on murder, a native goes to the witch
doctor and for a fee is given the
secret powder" to kill his victim
merely by shaking hands. The vic
tim, said DR.. Kirkland. has such in
tense faith in this magic" that when
told afterwards that it was a death
handShake. he dies.
2. The spell of death. In this case,
the devil doctor" simply pronounces
a death curse, also at a fat fee. II
have seen perfectly healthy natives
dying by inches under this simple
curse" said DR.. Kirkland. 1T is
amazing"
Fear Blamed in Deaths.
3. The stretcher of death A
stretcher of green tWigs is secretly
placed against the victims door at
night, and upon touching it he pines
away and dies. But if forewarned
that it is at the door. he may break
the mud walls of his hut and escape.

AS A Man Thinks

Observance of certain notable days
should remind us of the obligations which
those dates suggest Nothing is more i'm
portant than the focusing of attention on
the needs of our world. It is highly import
ant that people think, think seriously, think
Alright, and that their thinking shall prompt
their actions and give color to their days.
The popular form of government is that
in which people do their own thinking, elect
their own officials and crystalize the sentl-
ment that makes the laws. But we too much
and too often emphasize thinking enmasse.
It is splendid if we can have majorities for
the ushering in of every needed reform. But
many reform is obtained through an in
vincible personality y-one person doing and
saving what he thinks is right and standing
by his guns though the heavens fall.
AS man thinks, so is he; so is his
neighborhood; so is his community; so IS
his nation. One man has often set in opera
ton a train of influences that never spent
their force until the desired reform was won.
The wisest man is he who changes his
mind and does different thinking today from
that of yesterday, if convinced that he was
in the wrong yesterday. It is not only inn
portant that we have firm convictions, but
it is equally important that we have reasons
for our convictions. Many person, to take
his word for it, does not know why he votes
a certain ticket. He has never thought
through to it's logical conclusion the philo-
sophy to which he subscribes.
AS man thinketh, so does nation
think. AS nation thinks, so is it. The
nations of the world thought for years in
terms of militarism, commercial rivalry,
secret treaties, jealousy, suspicion, and IN,
trigue The most destructive war the world
has yet known seemed necessary in order to
change the thinking of the world.
Now our civic responsibility and hui
manitarian obligations tell us that we must
think in terms Of arbitration, love, service,
and universal peace.
Let us continue to change our thinking
It is time our thoughts leaped from arma-
ments to the personal needs of man. The
unemployed, the tired, the hungry, the IL
literate must be helped and saved. Crime
must be overpowered. Children must be
given the right to live the best of lives.
The contagion of sound thinking, OF
sincerity, integrity, and moral courage can
save our -Muskeon Heights

z BELLE PLANE
BANKS COMBINE
Stockholders Say Leaning
Agencies of USA Make
Change Advisable

Belle Plaine-The first National
bank of Belle Plaine, an institu-
tion which served this community
81 years and survived the depres-
sion and bank holiday period un-
scathed, recently went into volun-
tary liquidation by order Of the
stockholders. Under a consolida-
ton plan worked out with the
State Bank of Belle Plaine, it is
uniting forces with that institu-
ton.
The negotiations which are put
ting Belle Plaine on one bank
basis have been underway for
sometime, stockholders explaining
that: Economic conditions being
what they are and the increasing
inroads Of federal agencies into
the loaning business are forcing
the banking fraternity everywhere
to consolidate resources and re-
duce overhead by the elimination
Of separate institutions wherever
possible. Under those circum-
stances the stockholders Of the
First National felt justified in
voting for the consolidation and
because they felt the community
can be better served with one
banking house."
Members of the banking firm be-
ing liquidated are to become men,
bers of the consolidated firm and
business is already being trans
acted in one building. The State
Bank of Belle Plaine was organ
lied in 1882 and claims to be the
oldest banking institution in its
vicinity.

doesn't clutter up your mail and waste bas-

20 Casualties
DEAD, 62 injured.

r. IGHT DEAD, 62 injured.
r.. This is Redwood and adjoining coun-
ties record for 1885 to date, an exam
ination of back issues of The Gazette this
week revealed.
All of the accidents either happened in
the area adjacent to Redwood Falls or invol-
we'd local persons who were killed or injured
while away from home. It is an average of
one fatality per month, and eight cut and
bruised or perhaps crippled for life.
Statistics, they say, mean little to the
average reader. He does not interpret them
in terms of agonized relatives and bloody
wounds.
But every driver should contemplate
this fact: if the remaining months of the
year are equally tragic, four more persons
will be taken to early graves, 80 more will be
rushed off to the hospital in this territory
before 1885 is history.
