Lowell A. Wiles, 12-year-old son of Lawrence A. Wilea, who was a former resident of Fowler, and for several years cashier of * the Baldwin & Dague bank at Goodland, was killed in Indianapolis by an automobile Sunday morning. Lowell was on his way to Sunday school and had just alighted d’rom a street car and stepped around on the other side when a big auto driven by a colored chauffeur struck him, knocking him to the pavement and then passed over him. The driver hesitated a moment, then sped on without giving a clue to his identity. Later detectives learned of an automobile from one of the city garages was driven by a colored man in the locality where the casualty occurred. The negro at first denied having been near the place, but after some questioning admitted that It was he who drove the car that killed the boy. He said he knew he had killed him and the first impulse was to stop, but the following one of fear was strongest and he fled, his only thought being to get away. He declared the accident was unavoidable and a witness to the tragedy bore him out. The boy lived only about twenty minutes. The remains were brought to Goodland for Interment Tuesday. The (father was at home sick when the accident occurred. Lawrence Wiles, who is now cashier of the South Side bank in Indianapolis, was raised in Fowler and has many friends here who deeply sympathize with him in this sad hour. Lowell was born in Goodland and was a bright boy, full of promise.

Louis S. Alter Gives Weather Date Of Long Ago.

Editor Republican: I often see items in the paper about the weather and how it compares with certain storms of long ago. Some of these are erroneous as to the exact dates. I have kept a diary since 1869, and generally made note of the weather every day, just as it came. I don’t take anything from memory, but take all from the records. I quote the following records for those who may be interested: Thursday, February L 1883—20 degrees below zero. Friday, February 2, 1883—Warmer, steady snow all day, which turned to sleet during the evening. . Saturday, February 3, 1883—Ram and sleet all night and nearly all day. This was known as The Great Sleet Storm, which lasted until February 14. _. Wednesday, February 14—This was the last day of the great sleet storm, the greatest ever known in this section. A snow storm began the second day of February, which attained a depth of from four to six inches during the day, turning to rain early in the evening, which continued to fall until about one o’clock the morning of the third, at which time the limbs of the trees began to break, and by daylight it was one continual roar of breaking trees and falling ice. These conditions existed for the next forty-eight hours. The morning of the fourth was clear, but what a sight. There was about one inch of ice over everything. All the young timber, which was not broken, bent over until their tops touched the grpund, remaining that way for a period of ten days.ln the east this rain caused x a very destructive flood, while in the west there was a heavy snow., Friday, February 16—Rained by showers all day, and the water in the creeks was as high as was ever known. The Ohio river was at that time two feet higher than it has ever been since. March I—This was the month noted for the most disastrous fires and floods ever known, and everywhere the water was high. This is a sample of my notes on extreme weather events. Now any time you want to know about the weather for the last 45 years or more, when the early and late frosts caught us, etc., call Oh me. I have also many notes on weather, etc., during the early sixties. We often hear this is the latest or earliest spring in the memory of the oldest settlers. Now from my own records, I find the memories of the older settlers are very uncertain. The surest guage for Spring is the date when the cherries, peaches or plums come out in bloom; also the last killing frost in the Spring or the first killing frost in the Fall, is the real guide to go by. For instance, 1863 was rather a late season. On August 28 of that year we had a hard freeze that completely killed all the crops, not only on the low ground, but everywhere. The next year a very inferior grade of corn sold for >1 a bushel—not gold or silver dollars —but greenback dollars. It would sound odd now to us to have two values for everything ;—currency and feoin basis—but we did then.

Thinks Germans After Him.

Very much bewhiskered, Seymore Hickman appeared in town Wednesday afternoon after the big blizzard. Seymore has been working at Lewis Whicker’s for some time where with Charles Penwright they have been doing some carpenter work for Mr. Whicker’s land lord and Dr. Smalley. Seymore reports the finding of two sticks of dynamite neatly tucked away in the structure of an old barn which the above workmen were razing. The dynamite had several feet of fuse attached and Seymore could think of no one else the Germans were after but himself. The dynamite was carefully removed and is still held as evidence of the truthfulness of Seymore’s statement. Seymore was full of weird reports that day and told us of the finding of peculiar species of snake during one of the coidtE* days of the recent Hazard. He says that apparently .it must have come out of a brush pile near the premises, which when once out started in search of warmer climes. When seen it could be traced in the snow a distance of some sixty feet, and was still very active despite-the extreme cold. Seymore says it measures a little less than five feet in length, was big around accordingly. It was of a very peculiar hue of color and Mr. Hickman could not say to what family of snakes it belonged.—Mt. Ayr Tribune.

LEWIS S. ALTER.

MAKING A MAN OF THE BOY

Schoolmaster Has the Great Task In Hand, and on Him Depends the Final Important Outcome. The sum of all admonitions is that the schoolboy-must pay attention. That is precisely what he is do'ng, writes S. M. Crothers, in the Atlantic. He is paying attention to a variety of things that escape the adult mind. As be wriggles on the bench in the schoolroom lie pays attention to all that is going on. He attends to what is going on out-of-doors; he sees the weak points of his fellow pupils against whom he Is planning punitive expeditions; and he is delightfully conscious of the idiosyncrasies of the teacher. Moreover, he is a youthful artist and his sketches from life give acute joy to his contemporaries when they are furtively passed around. But the schoolmaster says sternly: “My boy, you must learn to pay attention ; that is to say, you must not pay attention to so many things, but you must pay attention to one thing, namely the second declension.” Now the second declension is the least interesting thing in the room, but unless he confines his attention to It he will nevter learn it. Education demands narrowing of attention in the Interest of efficiency. A man may, by dint of application to a particular subject, become a successful merchant or real estate man or chemist or overseer of the poor. But he cannot be all these things at the same time. He must make his choice. Having In the presence of witnesses taken himself for better or for worse, he must, forsaking all others, cleave to that alone. The consequence is that by the time he Is forty he has become one kind of a man and Is able to do one kind of work.

HAS CHURCH BUILT ON PIER

llfrancombe, England, Possesses Historic Edifice, Where the Sailors Offered Prayer Before Going to Sea. llfrancombe, England, has a church on a pier, and is the only seansde place in the world that has such a distinction. Indeed, llfrancombe would not possess the honor were it not for the fact that Lanterln Hill forms a part of the pier. Those who argue about the matter are always silenced by the plea that j>ou have to go on the the pier In order to enter the church, observes a writer. The curious old building to be seen on the top of the hill has had many strange adventures. It is dedicated to St. Nicholas, the patron saint of seafaring folk, and In that connection It is interesting to learn that at one time the old church was used as a lighthouse. In bygone days the sailors used to trudge up the hill so pzay before going to sea, and many were the regrets when the little edifice ceased t<i hold Its services. It Is now used by the pier authorities for storing purposes, but the day may come when It will be restored, and form one of many attractive “sights" llfrancombe already possesses.

Volcanoes Are a Blessing.

For all their upheavals It would not pay Central America to get rid of her volcanoes If she could, for these upheavals have created the finest coffee and sugar land In the world, notes a correspondent Usually there are long,, premonitory warnings and the annual deaths due to this cause are not equal to the number of persons killed yearly In automobile accidents around New York. Neither words nor artist’s brush could do justice to the wonderful atmospheric effects of the mountain lands. The changing lights and colors, the purple mists, the vast white banks of clouds, the cooling vapors that assume the colors of the rainbow at dawn and sunset, the mirages that throw mountain lakes and lofty peaks In the high heavens, resting, apparently, upon a base of blue ether, all these can never be described or forgotten.

Laughing and Good Breeding.

Valuable as a good laugh and a happy smile are for men and women in every activity, there are and always have been sqme stiffnecked, proper folk who have been a little suspicious of the good breeding of a hearty laugh, asserts an exchange. We have all heard women of the old School of manners admit reluctantly that they “had to4augh” at a play they went to see, as if there were something too crude for well-bred folk In a hearty laugh, and If you could but face the audience instead of the stage during the performance of a taking comedy you would see here and there prim, proper folk pulling their faces straight the moment the curtain goes down and the lights go up for fear some one might think they had so far forgotten their manners as to share In the general laughter.

Seed Counter Serviceable.

When testing seeds, it 18 necessary to count them and then space them evenly on moist sheets of blotting paper. A device has been developed which does the work accurately and quickly. It is used in conjunction with a vacuum pump operated by exerting pressure on a foot pedal, and consists of a metal contrivance having a square, flat surface with 100 small perforations. When this is brought in contact with a quantify of grain and a partial vacuum created, the suction draws a kernel over each of the orifices. By then placing the instrument on a blotter and releasing the pressure, the seeds are deposited in regular order on the sheet

HOW TO REDUCE

High Cost of Living During These War Times—What Every Woman Can Do. Look Over your old clothes. You can never appreciate how much you can brighten and freshen up your wardrobe until you use Dy-O-La Dye. Take some of your discarded blouses and dresses, dye them with some of the sixteen different colors of Dy-O-La, change the trimmings a bit and you will be astonished at the result.

Dy-O-La is the modern dye made by skilled chemists who have removed all the difficulty from home dyeing in order that you may get .perfect results. Old style dyes require a separate dye for each kind of goods. That makes trouble (as you probably know), for if you get a package for the wrong kind of material the goods are spoiled. You can’t make such a mistake with Dy-O-La dye. Take some garment that you have grown tired of or that you desire to color the fashionable shade of the moment, look over Dy-O-La Dye color chart at your nearest druggist or storekeeper, select the one that pleases, and follow the printed directions. They will look as if they had just come from the dressmaker. And remember—the colors will be just as fast and durable as they are beautiful. They won’t rub off or bleach out Buy it of your nearest druggist or storekeeper, but if they have not the color you want we will send it to you on receipt of ten cents/and at the same time include direction book and color chart. Dy-O-La Dye is made in Black, Blue,' Navy Blue, Brown, Seal Brown, Light Green, Dark Green, Scarlet, Yellow, Orange, Cardinal Rod, Pink, Purple, Dark Wine, Old Gold, Turkey Red, and from these sixteen colors a great variety of other shades and colors can be made.
