When Geo. Winberg and Rhode Ek
bom were on their way from Willmar
Saturday e\ening they had an acci
dent which might ha\e resulted ser
iously. George was trying to drive
his pacer with one hand while his oth
er arm was occupied. In some way
his horse became frightened and
landed his hind feet in the buggy,
completely smashing the dash board.
The horse ran up against a board
fence, where he was overpowered,
and the journev continued homeward.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach tho
diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one
way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitution*
al remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect bearing, and when
it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred DoUars for any case
of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be
cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circa

Murder at Donnelly.
Henry Miller was shot on the street
in Donnelly last Thursday afternoon
by his father-in-law, Wm. Turner.
The shooting was the result of bad
feeling between the two men which
has existed for several years.
Miller has been addicted to the ex
cessive use of intoxicating liquors,
and his wife has several times left
him to make her home with her par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Turner. Recently
Mrs. Miller has been living with her
parents at Donnelly, and Miller has
appeared from time to time and made
trouble for his wife and her parents.
Last Thursday afternoon, Miller
was in Donnelly and met Mr. Turner
and Miller indulged in insulting words
which angered Turner. Later Turner
met Miller just as he was leaving
town in an automobile with* Herman
Neitzel. The shooting occurred at
that time.
Turner immediately gave himself
up to Riley Hills, the marshal, and
was soon afterwards brought to this
city by Sheriff Zahl and lodged in the
county jail.
Miller was taken to the hospital at
Breckenridge the same afternoon,
where he died on Sunday morning.
The body was shipped to Holland,
this state, where the funeral was held
on Wednesday. On Monday, a coro
ner's inquest was held at Brecken
ridge, and a verdict rendered that
Miller came to his death at the ie
sult of being shot by a revolver.
Before Mr. Turner is tried at the
coming term of the district court, a
oreliminary examination must be held
and the grand jury must present an
indictment. The preliminary exam
ination will probably be held some
time this week. The defendant has
engaged Wm. H. Cherry as his at
torney.—Moiris Tribune.
Political Opinions.
"I don't think much of the third
state ticket. We have been through
the primaries, and we should stand
by the nominations as made there. I
•wouldn't vote for Taft, but I am not
going to vote for Roosevelt either. I
shall vote for Wilson, the first time
I have cast my vote for a democrat
for president. I believe that if
Roosevelt had taken the attitude at
Chicago that Bryan did at Baltimore,
we could have had La Follette for
the republican nominee.—Senator B.
E. Sundberg, La Follette Republican.
"I believe the matter should be
fought out between Governor A. 0.
Eberhart and P. M. Ringdal. As far
as I am concerned I intend to abide
by the primaries."—E. T. Young.
"Having advocated a primary elec
tion law, and submitted my case to
the people under it, I cannot favor
bringing out a third candidate."—
William E. Lee.
"I am not in favor of a third state
ticket. I see no excuse for one. I
am for Governor Eberhart. The pro
gressives of the state have had their
chance. They have expressed them
selves in favor of Governor Eberhart,
and therefore I am for Governor Eb
erhart."Sam Y. Gordon.

the kidney secretions and I am glad
to say that they have brought about
a cure. I also used Doan's Kidney
Pills myself and I therefore know

Hitched Drag to Auto.
A bright idea struck Mayor Clay
the first of the week. Teams being
scarce and street work needed after
the rains he got Glen Richards to
hook onto the Automobile Club's new
Puffer-Hubbard iron road drag and
in half an hour Main street was lev
eled down smooth and nice. The com
bination is a good one and in future
years a road drag trailing an" auto
will be a common sight.—Hutchinson

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON
S00 TRACKjAJPAYNESVILLE
Belgrade Boy is Fatally Crushed
While Standing Between Two
Freight Cars.
One of the most unfortunate and
saddest accidents occurring in this
locality for some time was that in
which Herman, son of Mr. and Mrs.
H. C. Meyer, residing just outside
of the village limits had both of his
legs crushed by a Soo freight late
last Saturday afternoon at Paynes
ville. The young man went to
Paynesville last Saturday to visit his
sister Mary, who is ill at Pilon hos
pital and boarded the local freight at
Paynesville to come home that eve
ning. He and two boys from Broot
en no doubt became restless waiting
and stepped in the yards of the rail
road company and while Herman was
standing between two box cars, a
freight that was switching hit the
cars Meyer was standing between
and was knocked over and had his
legs crushed by the moving cars. One
of the other boys was hit by the
freight but not injured and they also
endeavored to pull Herman from un
der the cars but too late. He was
rushed to the Pilon hospital where
both of his legs were amputated, and
he survived until 5 p. m. Sunday af
ternoon, when he, conscious to the
last, met the final summons.—Bel
grade Tribune.
Will Shorten Their Line.
We understand that the Milwaukee
road will shorten the distance be
tween Milbank and Ortonville by
building a new line for its second
track. The new line will branch off
from the present line about a mile
east of Milbank and will run straight
to Big Stone and close to the south
end of the Lake and very near the
present Ortonville depot, which will
be moved a few hundr feet south.
The dirt removed in getting- down into
the valley will be used in building a 14
foot grade near the foot of the lake.
This arrangement will not only give
Ortonville abetter service but will
shorten the distance and make an
easier grade for the company. The
work will be rushed this fall.—Mon
tevideo Leader.
Board Bill vs. Bill Board.
"Bill had a bill board," says an
exchange. Bill also had aboard bill.
The board bill bored Bill so that Bill
sold the bill board to pay his board
bill. So after Bill sold his bill board
to pay his board bill, the board bill
no longer bored Bill." The Pick Up
man would suggest in line with the
tale of Bill's board bill and Bill's bill
board that if Bill's bill board bored
Bill as much as Bill's board bill bored
Bill, why not "board" Bill with a
board from Bill's bill board and throw
Bill's board bill and Bill's bill board
overb oard.—Ex.
Married.
Miss Annie Giinthir, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. John Giinthir of Rose
land township, and Jake Woltjer, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Woltjer of
Crooks, were married in Willmar
Thursday, Sept. 5. The happy cou
ple went to house keeping at once
on the old Peter Huisinga farm in
Crooks. The friends of Mr .and Mrs.
Woltjer, including the Review, wish
them much joy and happiness thru
wedded life.—Bird Island Review.
Arrived from Mississippi.
Mr. N. G. Highstrom came up last
night from the state of Mississippi,
where he located last year and from
which place he has written several
articles that have appeared in the
Willmar Tribune. Mr. Highstrom
has rented his farm and will sojourn
in Minnesota for some time to come.
If the winter should prove to be an
agreeable one, he may remain here
until next summer. His sons re
mained at their new home.
Barber Marries.
Chris Johnson, one of our popular
barbers is away this week getting
married. The lady of his choice is
Miss Kate H. Gunderson who resides
near Eagle Lake, and the ceremony
took place at her home yesterday.
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson will arrive here
the latter part of the week, and will
commence housekeeping in rooms at
the John Bergeson dwelling.—New
London Times.
Anti-Saloon Corps Here.
Supt. P. J. Youngdahl and Messrs.
J. Martinson and Emil Youngdahl of
the State Anti-Saloon League ad
dressed the people of the various
churches last Sunday. On Monday
they went out and interviewed the
nominee for representative, Mr. P. H.

public questions in which they are
