ANOTHER OLD
SETTLER DIES
Anton Hesch of Agram Died Last Sunday After a Long illness with
Bright's Disease
Antou Hesch died at half past one
o'clock last Sunday morning in the
sixty-first year of his age. The cause
of his death was Bright* disease with
which he had been a sufferer for the
]>a it year arid a half. Anton had several "sinking spells"' in the last three
mouths from each of which he rallied
sufficiently to do light chores about
the yard and even to take short walks
to his neighbors.
When he again took to bed the Tuesday preceding the day of his death,
he seemed to feel that he should not
rise again. Beckoning hia brother
Math, to the "bedside, he feebly whispered: "Brother, the end is near."
Thursday afternoon he sank into a
slumber. This slumber gradually
deepened into a profound coma, in
which he passed away as above stated
without further struggle or convulsion.
Ariton Hesch was born in the village
of Niedermuhl, Kreis of Budweiss,
v Bohemia.. At the age of 18, he, with
his parents and other members of the
family emigrated to the Unite 1 States
and settled in the County of Buffalo,
in th^ state of Wisconsin. In l&ll he
moved onto the farm in Agram. where
he lived until the time   of   his    death.
Burial took place in St. Joseph's
•cemetery at nine o'clock Tussday
morning.

No defense was entered and judgment in the sum of $1,851.90 was granted by the court to the village. It was
found by the officers of the village
that there are still >2-t lost lo the village which were not included in the
judgement as the township in paying
its share on roadwork made such a
payment to the village treasurer. No
record was ever made in the recorder's
office as the transaction did not pass
through him. The treasurer's books
are not to be found at this time. A
portion of the amount covered by the
judgement is SI,000 paid the treasurer

It seems as though most of   the   people were beginning to realize that success in school depends mostly   on   regular attendance.      There   are   at   present 212 pupils attending out of   which
122 have not   missed   a   day.     This   is
quite a record.    But why not   make   it
a better record   next   month?    It   isn't
bad if a child is kept   from   school   on
very   important   business,   but   people
sometimes think a little work   of   more
important business than school.    Here
is    where   they   make   a   mistake   in
judging the value of school and education.      Some   parents   complain   about
their children not   wanting   to   attend
on account of being too   old   for   their
grade.    Whose fault   is   it   that   some
children become too old for their grade?
Nobody else's, but   the parents,   with
very few exceptions.    It is the parents
duty to keep the child in   school   everyday from   the   beginning  of the school
year to the   end,    from   the   time   the
child is six years old until it   has   finished the eighth grade or   has arrived
at   the   ag-e   of sixteen years.    If that
is done by all   parents   there   will   be
very few children who will not be able
to   keep   up with their grade.    There
are only a few now who need their   attention drawn to   this   fact.    Most   of
them are doing wiiat is right for which
I thank them.

STATE BECOMES MORE STRICT
Superintendent of the Stale Department of Public instruction has notified
county superintendent Boerger of
Stearns county that five of his districts would not receive state aid this
year. The reason given is that these
districts had not fullfilled the requirements of the state. The chief trouble
seems to be in the matter of ventila-
Ition. He further states that any
■school district that misrepresents conditions in a report will be stricken off
the list for state aid entirely. Many
school officers in tbe neighborhood of
Pierz claim that it i ; cheaper to ti->
Without the state aid, than to live up
to the regulations of the state department of public instruction.

Night Patrolman LaBlanc the interior was a mass of flames. The large
machine shed and its contents were
destroyed, the adjoining store and
barn occupied by Joseph Dinner was
burned, as was a building in which
Henry Nathe stored his stock of bug-

the ice house and barn belonging to the
Union Provision Company. In the barn
three cows were burned to death.

After turning in the alarm, Patrolman La Blanc hastened to Union

animals. After taking three horses
from the building he was knocked
down by the fourth and last horse.
Partially overcome by the smoke, ii
was with difficulty that he crawled to
