TO TEACH BOOSTING
Municipal Service League, of
Chicago, Wants to Wake up
Worthington.
Possible to Make This Town an
Important Industrial Centre.
Mr. George Erving, representing
the Municipal Service League of
Chicago, on Tuesday evening ad
dressed a small audience of Worth
ington business men, at the Masonic
hall,on the theme of municipal boost
ing.
Mr. Erving briefly reveiwed the
causes which tend to the centraliza
tion of trade, and gave a few sugges
tions as to the best methods of com
bating these influences. He cited the
fact that all large centres and all live
towns are thoroughly organized and a
unit in boasting their respective mu
nicipalities. He emphasized the abso
lute necessity of every community, es
pecially natural trade centres like
Worthington, doing something to con
serve trade and capital,and secure the
investment of capital in home en
terprises rather than in oil or mining
stock or in cheap farm lands far away,
and gave instances of how invest
ments at home brought in outside
capital. Mr. Erving said he pittied a
town where politics were so bitter and
raligion so severe as to prevent busi
ness men and citizens from rubbing
elbows in an effort to build up the
town. He emphasized the fact, which
we all realize, that the citizens must
wake up, organize and push and boost
for the town. He called attention to
the naturally advantageous location
of Worthington as a trade and indus
trial centre, and also noted a few of
our troubles, among them the follow
ing: Money going out of town in
trade and investment young men go
ing out of town the Thompson estate
lack of harmony lack of team work
in boosting. He also enumerated a
number of our unscheduled assests*
some of which few had thought of
before.
The object of Mr. Erving's visit to
Worthington was to interest the com
merical club and business men in the
work of Municipal Service League,
which presents a lyceum course of a
week's duration, giving lectures of in
struction in town boosting with spec
ial application to local conditions,
and also a course in commercial club
methods of boosting, taking up an
other week. Iu addition to this the
league furnishes the services of able
and experienced men to advise along
various lines of municipal advance
ment. The cost of the service to be de
frayed by the saie of booster buttons,
to the number of 500, at one dollar
each. The proposition looks very
feasible, and while no action was taken
Tuesday evening-,thesentiment seems
to,be iii favor of taking advantage of
the service. Mr. Erving will be in
Worthington again next Thursday
to further discuss the matter.

KILLED AT SIBLEY
Will McGowan, Bridge Carpenter,
Victim of Peculiar and
Fatal Accident.
Deceased Was a Well Known
Railroad Man and Very
Popular.
A shocking accident occured on
Wednesday afternoon, shortly before
6 o'clock, at Sibley, in which Will
McGowan, a well known railroad man
lost his life. Mr. McGowan was sup
erintending the taking down of a
windmill, when the guy collar of a
jennypole broke, and he was hit under
the chin by a piece of the casting at
tached to the end of a swiftly flying
rope. His neck was broken and death
must have been instantaneous. The
remains were brought to Worthing
ton and prepared for burial. The
funeral will be held Suuday after
noon.
The deceased was a brother of C.
W. McGowan, a conductor on the
Oaj^iha line, and F. J. McGowan, who
lives northwest of town. He also
leaves a mother and brothers and sis
ters in New York state. He was a
single man, of genial disposition, and
very popular with all who knew him.
His untimely death was a shock to
the entire community. The remains
will be taken to New. York.
Rushmore.
Miss Alida Bedford has been home
on a visit from her school at Hamline
the past week.
Miss Ethel Patterson of Worthing,
ton, visited friends in Rushmore on
Thursday.
Mr. and Mrs. Mike Thompson hav
ing rented their farm south of town
to their son will move to Rushmore
about the middle of the month and
occupy the Dr. Carrell residence.
These people have lived on the farm
for many years and are deserving of
a rest which they will take for the
coming year.
Dr. F. A. Carrell departed with a
car of household goods for Sebeka,
Tuesday, where he has a farm. For
the present the family will move on
the farm but the doctor has made no
definite plans for a continued stay
and thinks he may return to Rush
more after a year. Alba has been
troubled with hay fever and asthma
and the change is made partly on
this account. Mrs. Carrell and Emily
are visiting in Winnebago City and
will go north later. This leaves Rush
more with no doctor, something that
no town can get along without.
Senator S. B. Bedford and wife
were Worthington visitors Thursday.
On last Saturday night Noah Biel
harz appeared at the opera house as
the last number of the lecture course.
This was one of the best entertain

On Saturday occurred the death of
a former Rushmore man, Peter Mc
Tier who has been living on the John
Reed farm near Reading. For several
years Mr. McTier has been in poor
health suffering from lung trouble.
About five years ago he moved to
California and remained two years,
but this did not seem to relieve him
and he moved to Lismore where he
farmed until this year when he moved
to this territory. Mr. McTier is a son
in law of James Baird an old resident
of the county. He was an earnest
christian and a member of the Pres
byterian church. He leaves a wife
and several children to mourn his loss
The funeral was held in the church
at Rushmore and the remains layed
in the Rushmore cemetery.
On Tuesday James Greig and
daughter Ida departed for Scotland,
the native home and where Mr.
GrUg
's father and mother still live in
good health though advanced in
years. It is planned to have a general
reunion and all children expect to be
present. Mr. Greig will meat eight
teen brothers and sisters there having
been nineteen children born to the
father apd mother who now live at
tbe old home.
MANY UNNECESARY
FATALITIES
Appendicitis Known Among the
Ancients who Treated it
as Such.
The Modern Surgeon's Hobby
"The Knife"
Appendicitis which is thought to be
of modern origin, is as old as the hu
man family. This disease was known
among the ancients and many systems
of treatment were in practice. There
are many cases of appendicitis where
operations are absolutely necssary and
as well where operations are unneces
ars.
With appendicitis are complicated
many other diseases such as bowel,
liver, stomach troubles, kidney troub
les, poor circulation, bad blood, weak
ness of the heart, female! troubles and
variety of similar troubles primary
cause of appendicitis. Tne surgeon's
knife in these instances fails to bring
about the required results. They fail
to bring health to the patient and fail
to remove the cause. Such operations
leave the patient in a worse condition
than they were in the first place.
A medical doctor is of prime im
portance, one who is familiar with
constitutional chronic conditions of
the patients and one who has had
sufficient experience in the treatment
and cure of appendicitis, typhalitis
and bowel obstruction.
Every large city has its specialists
in these particular classes of diseases
even in maDy of the smaller towns
throughout the country, medical doc
tors are sufficiently well versed in
these diseases to give an opinion. In
asmuch as different people in differ
ent climat3s require' different treat
ment, the expertness of the physician
is of the most importance.
Thousands of cases are being an
nually cured by Dr. Rea, and even
cases that have been operated upon
and where they have been in a worse
condition than before the operation.
Dr. Rea's cures speak for themselv
es. He is a man amply prepared to
com oat with the different complica
tions in all the phases of these diseas
es. His medical training has been of
such character to warrant him suffic
ence in himself to assure his patients
whether or not it is best to have an
operation or resort to milder methods.
Dr. Rea as a specialist, treats and
cures all chionic, nervous surgical dis
eases, diseases of deep-seated linger
ing and of long standing, such as
heart disease, bad blood, tubercular
diseases, cancer, tumor,
August Schaefer, New
varicocele,
rupture. It is said by friends that he
has the ability to diagnose the disease
of any patients without even asking
them a question. This being so, he
is not liable to doctor a patient for the
wrong ailment.
We herewith take the liberty to
publish the names of a few of the
many cures he has made.
Mrs. George Kasanke, St. Cloud,
Minn., cured of cancer of the womb.

To Kill The Creameries
That the great cream centralizing
plants are determined to kill off the
local creameries in order to get a
monopoly of the butter business
seems certain. Another branch of the
octupus has established a cream sta
tion here making three in all. and
between them the creamery is likely
to have a hard time unless the dairy
men are far sighted enough to realize
that their salvation lies in the success
of the creamery. If the local cream
ery got all the cream marketed in the
city we believe they would be able to
pay even better prices than at present
prevail. Remember that when you
sell to the creamery you get a can of
buttermilk to take home.
