WITH A BULLET IN HIS HEAD.
Capt. Otto Hire Ttrenty-Joitr Days litter
lie Tried to Kin Himself.


lie Tried to Kin Himself.
New York Sun.
Capt. John Otto. one of the trustees of the
Teutonia Savings bank. tried to kill himself
on the morning of the 18th ult. He was des-
pendent it was said owing to the trouble and
charges growing out OF the closing of the leu
tonia bank. He shot himself in the head. Tho
next day it was reported that he dying,
and. in fact, the chances of his recovery were
considered to be very slight by his family and
his friends. Two chambers Of the revolver
having been found empty, it was surnised that
he had discharged two OF the cartridges but
no balls could be found, and there was only 9
wound IN the left eye.
Capt. Otto is still alive ana is apparently no
nearer death than when he shot himself
twenty-four days ago. The bali is somewhere
under the upper part of the skull, and very
near the brain.
His case is an extraordinary one, and as yet
his physicians can say very little about him ex-
cept as to his actual condition each day. He has
been delrlous most of the time. and at the first
nc was frequently very violent. Of late he has
become qnleter, but his rational periods do not
increase in frequency duration. Physically
ne is III q remarkable condition. He takes
fair amount of nourishment each day. and
talns considerable of his strength. BiS~ pnlss
is generally high, ranging about l0l to 1G2. yet
without the presence of any well-dehned fever.
Will he regain his former physical health, yet
remain mentally almost in his present condi-
| ton the rest of his life? is question that his
friends have asked. The possession of good
constitution and the care that he has taken of
himself weigh in his favor at the present time.
The wound made by the bail has healed, the
ball not having been removed. Its presence
may keep the brain in a perpetual abnormal
condition. He will lose the use of the eye
through which the ball passed. When rational
he talks very little.

The dead lock in the Board of Education
has raised the question relative to the neces-
sity of having Superintendent. It appears
to us that the simplest and best way out of
the dead lock would be to abolish the Office
of Superintendent altogether. The principals
of the various buildings ought to be able to
superintend the schools of the minor grades
in their charge as we'll as their own, and
with competent Superintendent in each
building, Superintendent to superintend
the Superintendent seems a work of super
erogatlon. Let the Board of Education abol,
ish the superintendent office altogether, OF
if that is not practical, leave it vacant.

Flathead agency, M. T., which gives an in
teresting account of the recovery by ssCap-
tain George a friendly Nez Perez, of his
daughter, who was stolen from him by some
miserable white men. "Captain George
had been useful to the whites as an interpre-

ter from Sitting Bulls camp. He returned
with her as far as Carroll and was there at

who carried off his daughter. After his re-
covery he searched through the country for
his child with his wounds unhealed, in con-
slant danger from whites, who were liable to
mistake him for a hostile, and was finally
successful in his search.

The Duke of Argyll, starting in life with q
very heavily encountered estate, learnt to look
upon himself, and made others regard him, as
very poor man for his position. But he is no
longer. 81 hit made economy a second nature
to him, and he has gone on practising it until
he has cleared off hundreds of thousands of
debt and has very large income. He has no
house actually in London. but lives very quiet
ly at comfortable suburban villa at kensiny-
ton, and for several years past the declining
health of his wife has restricted his society
chiefly to a circle of relations and intimate
friends. He has large family. but the sons
are provided for. Lord Archibald is a partner
in Coutt's; Lord Walter, who passed some years
here, is a partner in a leading firm of stock
brokers' and married to a lady of means, and
Lord George is in the navy, and wrote very
acceptable book on the cruise of the Challeng-
er. The eldest daughter is married to the eld-
est son of the millionaire Duke of Northum-
berland. Lord Lorne has no children, and his
Princess Warehouses is simply provided for
by parliament.

EUROPEANS are fast learning American
ideas. 1t appears on investigation that a
vessel purchased in the United States for
100000 roubles for the Russian volunteer
feet, was not worth laf that amount, and
the discovery was made that of 100000
roubles subscribed to the volunteer fleet
fund, more than one-half of the sum found
its way into the pockets of its organizers.
Thus we see that even in the most despotic
European governments the American plan of
doing things is coming to the fore.

1t would be a sad day for America, for the
