suicide In Mcpherson.

Mrs. Andrew Hansen committed sui
eide, by hanging herself at her own
home in the town of Mcpherson, last
Saturday. Coroner Durkee was sum-
moned from this city, and went out to
the scene last Monday to hold an in
quest. 1t required but brief time
to empanel jury, which consisted of
E NJ Shepard, M Williamson, Orlo
Baldwin, Peter Ofledahl, John Larrabee
and Henry 8 Hilton. The majority of
the testimony elected tended toward
showing that Hansen was an abusive
and tyrannical husband, forever scolding
his wife because she did not work hard
enough. Hansen's testimony was, that
he WAS at the barn when he heard his
children scream, and that he ran to the
house and found his wife hanging by
her neck, apparently dead; that he took
her body down, rolled it over and blew
in her mouth without avail. He testi-
fed that the night before she killed
herself, she told him about seeing and
holding conversation with the Devil,
who approached the bedside. He adj
mits having trouble during the past
Summer, but asserted that all was fixed
up.
The jury after hearing the testimony
returned the following verdict: "She
committed suicide by hanging"

Epidenics.

At the present time there is prevailing
throughout portions of this State, cpl
denies of various kinds, among winch
are small pox, diphtheria and other
kindred diseases. Fortunately, thus
far, Mankato has escaped them all, but
itmight be well for our people to observe
the adage, that "a stitch in time saves
nine,' and if there be any precautions
necessary, to provide them. The idea
that small pox and dirhtheria breed in
filth and spread by filth, has been proven
erroneous by reliable practitioners, and
there are cases familiar to us all where
diphtheria has ragged in its most virulent
form in the midst of the healthiest local.
tiles, while those who rcveled in filth
and dirt escaped contagion.
A learned writer AT New Orleans, in
combating the theory that the spread
of yellow fever in various portions OF
the South was owing TO the unclcanliness
of the people, challenges any body OF
physicians from any section of the
country, to visit with him the localities
where yellow fever rages and they will
ascertain that it is not among the novels
of the poor and the filthy, but among
the wealthy and healthy where it finds
its victims. The number who believe
that these contagious diseases travel il
the air, arc gradully augmenting.

To the People Of kato.

As the small pox is prevailing in the
northern part of the State, and is re.
ported to be in cities and localities in
different parts of the State, and at nc
great distance from us, it seems proper
that the attention of the people should
be called to the danger surrounding US
We can hardly hope to escape unless
we exercise the greatest caution, and
perhaps not then.
We urge great watchfulness on the
part of the people, and especially of the
physicians, so that in case it should
appear in our midst, immediate notice
may be given in order that it may be
prevented from spreading. This can
best be done by the watchfulness and
assistance of all. 1t is hoped we may
entirely escape, but it is matter of SC
much importance that deem it proper
to call the attention of the people to the
danger, especially as it can be prevented
from spreading, if itappears at all, by
proper care and timely notice.

Words Of Caution from Our Board Of
Health.

Our Board of Health have taken time
by the forelock and submitted the fol-
lowing precautionary measures to the
City Council, who adopted the same at
their meeting last evening
To the Honorable CITY Council:
The Board Of Health would call the
attention of your Honorable body to tile
prevalence Of smallpox in the State, and
to devise some means by which our city
might escape so loathsome pestilence.
There is nota railroad running through
our city but somewhere along its route
there are sufferers from this very conta.
gious disease, and by the means of these
railroads and universal travel, you will
readily see how easily it could be dis
seminated in our midst. Though there
is no smallpox here at present, we have
every reason to expect it. ain time Of
peace prepare for war; Our defense
and safeguard is vaccination and re-vac-
cination, and we would recommend and
urge every one to avail themselves of its
protection. There used to be serious OBJ
jections to this simple operation on &C.
count of impure virus ; but now that
objection has been removed, for the
physicians now generally use the bovine
virus, which is considered pure and more
efficacious. The often asked question,
How long does vaccination give pro-
lection 2" is very difficult one to an
swer. Quite number Of our physicians
with whom we have talked on the sub
ject, agree that it would be very prudent
to be vaccinated about once in five years
--latest, seven years.
We would also recommend that your
Honorable body (so that none would
have an excuse for not being vaccinated)
make some provision like the follow
ing: THAT all those who are unable
to meet the expense of vaccination of
themselves and families, it will be done
at the city's expense, being audited by
one Of the Aldermen of the ward in |,
which the applicant lives, and such ap-
plication with the approval of any Alder. |
man Of such ward shall DO sufficient |
voucher for any resident physician who
performed the operation for his pay
from the Treasurer" We deem it more |
advisable for the city to make this small
outlay in preventing this disease than to
treat them after getting it.
We would also advise the proprietos
of the different hotels, or any Others who
have strangers Or emigrants for guests,
who complain of febrile symptoms, and
especially backache, to call physician
at once and have the case investigated.

Thanksgiving being over, Christ
mas begins to attract attention. This
festival is very generally observed by
the Christian world as a festival in
memory of the birth of our Saviour, and
by all classes as the appropriate season
for the exchange of gifts and mementss
of friendship and affection. To the
young il is looked forward to with i'm
patience, and the whole mind seems
distracted with wonders as to what Santa
Claus will unload from his chariot to
his fond and cherished little ones. Al
ready the shelves and windows Of many
dealers in notions are being filled with
novelties which have taxed the patience
and ingenuity of their fsbricators to
satisfy the taste and gladden. the heart.
If we do not all become like children
on tins Holiday, we revive in memory
our childhood's appreciation Of the
event, and in the manifold joys Of the
little ones whose eyes sparkle with over
flowing delight as they contemplate the
offerings with which their stockings are
filled, We become participants Of their
JOY, and so, live for the time, our child
hood over again.
