HAZEL EVALINE OTOS.
Grim Death entered the household
of Mr. and Mrs. B. T. Otos at Home
wood Park early this morning and
stole away their oldest daughter,
Hazel Evaline, at the age of seven
years and 10 months. The little girl
had been ill off .and on for seven
months with liver trouble. She was
apparently recovering when a few
days ago she ate some choke cher
ries that grew in the yard. These
did not agree with her. She had
rested very uneasy during the nights.
Last night Mrs. Otos was relieved
when she heard the child had become
quiet, thinking she was sleeping, on
ly to find her dead in the morning.
The parents did everything they
could for their child, consulting
specialists in the cities as well as
the local physicians. The family
has the heartfelt sympathy of a
large circle of friends in their af
fliction.
The funeral will occur Friday af
ternoon from the First M. E. churcn,
Rev. Parmeter to officiate. The in
terment takes place at Fairview.
Death from Diphtheria.
Andrew Everett Patchell, one year
and 8 months old, son and only child
of Engineer and Mrs. Andrew Patch
ell, died at their home on E. Litch
field avenue Tuesday morning at
4:53 o'clock, cause of death being
diphtheria. The little one was ill
three days. Mrs. Patchell returned
from a visit at Darwin four days
ago with the child, and it is thought
that it had become affected there.
Every precaution has ben taken by
the Board of Health to prevent any
danger of contagion, and Health Of
ficer Rains says that there need be
no alarm felt in the city. The re
mains were placed in a vault at
Fairview today by Undertaker Pet
erson and the Health officer. Later
the body will be taken to Darwin for
interment.

What are the Elks?
Some of our readers may ask,
what kind of an organization is the
Elks? Nelson's encyclopedia gives
the following information:
Benevolent and Protective Order
of Elks—one of the charitable and
benevolent secret fraternities in the
United States. Formally founded
in 1871, but dates back through sev
eral social organizations to 1806.
Charles Algernon S. Vivian, an Eng
lishman, an actor, and son of a
clergyman of the Establshed church,
is credited as the founder. A pri
mary purpose is the social enjoy
ment of its members. A character
istic is found in its secret charitable
and benevolent contributions. There
is no insurance feature. The E-l-k
is repeated in the innitials of the
titles of its officers. Esteemed Lead
ing Knight, Esteemed Loyal Knight,
and the like. It permits only one
lodge in a city and indulges in a
unique ceremony at eleven o'clock at
night at all its sessions. On Elk's
Memorial Day, the first Sunday in
December, it paraphrases, with ap
propriate public ceremonies, the
Masonic lodge of sorrow in memory
of departed brethren. In 1905 its
frrand lodge reported 937 subordi
nate lodges. Its official organ is the
Elks-Antler.
Wreck in North Dakota.
Cracy, N. D., Aug. 20—Two un
identified men were killed, another
man was fatally injured and 20 pas
sengers were slightly hurt when the
Oriental Limited on the Great North
ern railroad was wrecked late last
night.
The engine, mail car, baggage car,
smoker and two day coaches left the
rails. The smoker rammed its way
through a gram elevator. The
wreckage caught fire and several
persons were believed to have lost
their lrves but only two bodies were
found beneath the wreck.
The exact cause of the derailment
has not been ascertained.
Relief trains carrying doctors and
nurses were sent from Devils Lake,
Lakota and Grand Forks.
Only one member of the train crew
was injured. The train, which left
St. Paul this morning, was traveling
rapidly when it left the rails.
Huerta Becomes Cordial.
Despite all talk to the contrary,
Provisional President Huerta of
Mexico not only invited John Land to
confer with him, but was very cor
dial during the interview, which last
ed two hours. It is plain that some
rabid misrepresentation is emanat
ing from some source.
Harry Thaw is Caught.
Harry Thaw, the escaped murder
er from an asylum for criminally in
sane, was caught by a sheriff in
Canada just after crossing the bine
from New Hampshire. He will fight
extradition.
The case of Martin H. Nelson vs.
Carl Paulson for damages alleged
to be -sustained by reason of care
less auto driving was tried this af
ternoon before Justice A. O. Fdrs
berg. He only asks for the sum of
$25. The justice has the case un
der advisement.
Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Smith returned
Monday night from their trip to the
State of Maine. They spent a very
pleasant month at Mr. Smith's old
home at Machias, Me.
Dr. and Mrs. P. C. Davison of

Look Out for Hog Cholera.
Large areas of the southern por
tion of the state is at present afflict
ed with a severe siege of the hog
cholera. In fact the ravaging of the
disease among the swine is the worst
in the history of the state it is said
and the authorities at the experiment
station are quite unable to fill the
demand for preventative serum. Far
mers in this locality should there
fore use the utmost care in protect
ing their hogs at tLa«, time. Do net
feed your hogs green corn. And do
not let strangers and visitors from
infected parts of the state get near
your hogs as the germs are often
carried in that manner.
Early Threshing Reports.
The heavy rains have completely

bushels of wheat to the acre. Ole
A. Olson threshed out an average of
18 bushels to the acre of wheat and
55 bushels an acre of oats. The
Edenwood farm at Green Lake
yielded 18 bushels of wheat.
