SAVES S1S2.000 TO THE STATE
[From the Albert Lea Standard
In the +, l!oWl G extract the st. Paul
Globe states the truth:
When the Dispatch, which was not
then conducted by the present distin-
guished couple, announced that there
was something wrong in the State treas.
ury Mr.. Ward WAS u member of the SEN
ate. lie promptly arose in his place he
next morning and moved an inquiry.
With much sQuirming the resolution
was adopted. and the committee was
appointed with Mr.. Ward ut it's head.
To avert the blow the regular standing
committee was called t" investigate
and that body reported that all was
right in tile treasury. This WAS just
before Ward got to work. but he rtver-
theless found Il defalcation Of one hun
dred and eighty-two thousand dollars.
His timely discovery saved that amount
to the State, as another year would
have made it so much larger rs to rend-
er its payment utterly and absolutely
impossible.
Yet. this is not all the truth. Snna-
tor Ward WAS offered fifty thousand dol
lars to ''|et up' on his investigation
and declined the offer.

[From the st. Paul Pioneer. Press.1

their beautiful home in WasDca. Their
residences, which is of handsome archi-
tnre, is located on Il spacious lawn, and
shaded with stately trees. The interior
is furnished with taste, and evidences
of culture ON every side. His eldest
daughter. Miss Anna, who is pnpjl at
st. JOSepll's academy, is now at home,
and gracefully assists her mother in dis
rensing hospitality. Senator Ward and
family will prove a valuable acquisition
to Washington society when he goes

neer Press.
a dozen or more eminent New York
and Brooklyn doctors have had their
Hoses sadly pat out Of joint. They gave
testimony in The suit for $lOO. 900 dam
ages brought by Mrs. Stoyrr against
DIS. Catlin and Elmendurf for mall
practice in the treatment of a supposed
fracture of the hip bone. Some were
OF the opinion that it vas Il case of
fracture. others that it was a severe
confusion of the tissues others that
the bone had been injured by interstu
al absorption, and Others testified that
the I'M jury was an interscapular fract-

lief, she called in the services of an It,
allan peasant woman named Nine. Del
Gin. This empirical practitioner. at
once pronounced the trouble Il disloca-
tion, and said she would speedily cure
it. After applying for few days poul-
tices of marsimallow and bran to relax
the muscles, she just naturally took
hold of the limb and replaced the ball
of the lip-joint in it's socket. Mrs.

In Illinois and Missouri this peasant
woman would be liable to arresst and
imprisonment for practicing medicine
without a diploma. If we mistake not
there is similar law in New York and,
if so, this woman will no doubt be per-
secuted by the doctors. A man was
