Something about Sas,astr0ke.

From the New York Health Boards Circular.
Prevention-Don't loose your sleep
sleep in cool place: don't worry ;don't
get excited; don't drink too much alco.
hol; avoid working in the sun if you
can; if indoors, work in we'll ventilat-
ed room; wear thin clothes;wear light
hat, not black; put large, green Leaf
in it; drink water freely and sweat free.
ly; if fatigued or dizzy knock of work,
lie down in a cool place, and apply cold
water and cold clothes to your head
and neck.
Cure-Put the patient in the shade:
loosen his clothes about the neck; send
for the nearest doctor; give the patient
cool drinks of water or black tea OF
black coffee, if he can swallow. If his
skin isl hot and dry, prop him up, sitting
against a tree or wall; pour cold water
over the body and limbs, and put on his
head pounded ice wrapped in cloth
or towel. If you can't get ice, use a
wet cloth and keep freshening it. But
if the patient is pale and faint, and his
pulse is feeble, lay him on his back,
make him smell hartshorn for a few
seconds, or give him teaspoonful of
aromatic spirits of ammonia or tincture
in two tablespoonful of water. In
this case use no cold water, but rub the
hands and feet and warm them by hot
applications until the circulation is re-
stored.

FATAL SHOOTING ARRAY
Christopher GrOeb3se7' Killed
By HIS Br0the1'-i7s-l0sv,
A7ltI. Sell1ae7'.

1t is q notorious fact that the Sellners
and Christopher Groebner, the former
living in the town of Albin and the lat
ter in the town of Stark, have been
deadly enemies for q number of years.
The trouble. it appears, originated
about some school or railroad land on
which Groebner had squa,ted and
which was afterwards purchased bv
And. Sellner. They formerly lived
close neighbors in the town Of Albin,
but two or three years ago Groebner
bought a piece of land in the town of
Stark, and since then he has been liy.
ing there. The piece of land that has
been the cause of all the trouble be-
tween the two families adjoins Groeb-
ner's farm, a narrow road only inter-
yening. Last Wednesday afternoon
Andreas Sellner was cutting wheat, and
at the corner of the field nearest Groeb-
ner's house he was met by Groebner,
who, with a bottle in his hand adyanc-
ed towards him and said '.Dog, eth
er you or me must die now" Sellner
was sitting on the machine,
and, being middle sized man, he
was completely at the mercy Of
Groebner, WhoWas 9 large, powerfully

Miss Bertha Kiesling, 18-year-oid
daughter Of W. F. Kiesling, was sud
denly taken i'll last Wednesday. DR..
Strickler, who was hastily summoned,
pronounced it case of strychnine
poisoning. DR.. Muller was summoned
to the aid of DR.. Strickler, and after a
few hours of hard work the doctors
succeeded in saving the girls life, and
she is now as well as ever. Miss Kies-
Ling says that, feeling hungry, she
went into the pantry and ate piece Of
sausage which, she thinks, had been
poisoned for the benefit of the rats.
The proprietor of the Union Hotel,
where the poisoning occurred, discre-
dts the girls story, and says that no
poison in any shape had been used in the
house for rats or mice since he assum-
ed control IN June. There seems to
be a mystery attached to this case
which will probably never be satisfac-
tority cleared up.

An Exchange says:It behooves every
body to be on the watch these nights
for burglars. The old-fashioned habit
that many good people have of boiling
their doors with carrot and of barring
out the festive burglar with mosqueto
netting, is getting altogether to decol-
let. A spring gun at each window and a
bull dog on the front steps goes further
to make more of show, and show is
what counts these days. Nothing SO
discourages an able-bodied tramp or
burglar as to have the top of his head
blown off by load of buckshot.

Timely advice from an exchange:
The cellar can not be too clean. If the
cellar windows are open in the dav
time and the warm air let in LARGE
quantity of moisture comes in with the
hot air and is deposited like dew on the
cellar walls and floor. This encouraq.
es mold, and in few days the cellar is
impregnated with 1nildew. The cooler
night air contains less moisture, and ii
a bushel of fresh lime be placed in the
cellar it will absorb great quantity of
moisture from The air and keep the eel
lar dry. A bushel of lime weighing
eighty pounds will absorb twenty
seven pounds of water before it becom-
es at all damp. A peck of it will alb
sorb more than six pounds. and a peck
is very manageable. When it is slack
ed down to powder and appears very
moist it can be taken away and fresh
lime supplied. Musty or moldy food is
dangerous to health, and may produce
diseases, as surely as impure water
will Sometimes cake from a damp
cellar may be found, on breaking, to
contain fine glutinous string or threads
which stretch from piece to piece.
These threads are mold. Pies and
bread are often imperceptibly moldy in
warm, damp weather, and consequent
~ dangerous to health.

built man. Sellner says ne begged
Gnebner to go away; that he did not
want any trouble with him, ETC.; but
Groebner kept advancing, and when he
got within about three PAGES of the ma
chine Sellner pulled out his revolver
and shot him dead, the ball entering
below the eye and penetrating his
brain. Sellner at once unhitched his
team and drove over to Martin Hose
and informed him what he had done.
at the same time requesting him tot 90
over to the field and see whether Groeb-
ner was dead. Sellner then came to
this city and gave himself up. When
about half way his horse died from
heat, and he made the balance of the
way on foot. There was no witness to
the shooting, and Mrs. Groebner first
learned of the death of her husband
through Martin Hose. Deceased's wife
is sister of Andreas Sellner, she done
everything to prevent the rupture, and
when it came she held aloof from their
quarrels, but naturally sided with her
husband.
On Thursday Sellner was taken be-
fore Justice Duncan at Sleepy Eye, but
he waved an examination and was COM
mitted to the county jail to await trial
at the next term of court. The Coro-
ner went out on Thursday and held an
inquest, but no new facts were
elected and verdict was given in ac-
cordance with above facts.
Sellner is not of a quarrelsome DISPOSE
ton, and although he has always evaded
meeting Grebner when possible, he has
several times been numerically pound
ed by Grebner. :. O.. last, Wednesdays
ARRAY he tells straight forward story,
and the jury will no doubt find that the
shooting was done in self-defence. At
present public sympathy is strongly
with Mr.. Sellner.

Complaint is quite general from all
parts of the State that fruit trees seem
to be dying. This locality is no excep-
zion. The trouble seems to be the same
everywhere and is what nursery men
term fire blast and they say is caused
by electric atmospheric currents. A
writer in the Austin Register says that
the only help or hope for tree so af-
fected is to carefully trim off the blast
ed portion of the limb; the balance of
the tree will not be affected if the
trimming is done as soon as possible
after the branch withers. The growth
will be as healthy the following year as
ever.

Large N,smabers Of Horses
Drop Dead im the H02'-
Ve8t Fields.

The late warm wave was unquestion-
ably the most prolonged ever known in
this section of the country, and there is
hardly any doubt that the first three
days of last week and the fore part of
Thursday were the warmest ever exper-
fenced by the oldest settlers of this vi
cinity. On Monday, Tuesday and We'd
nesday mercury varied but a few de-
grees. On Monday it was SO degrees
in the shade, on Tuesday 103 degrees,
on Wednesday 102 degrees and at 9 a.
NJ. Thursday SO degrees. BY noon
Thursday cool breeze had sprung up
and mercury dropped few degrees.
The nights were but little better than
the days, and everybody suffered from
the intense heat.
In this county five cases of fatal sun
stroke are reported. On Wednesday q
man named Brey, working in the har
vest field on the farm of Hubert Hilles-
helm, in the town of Sigel, was prostra-
ted with heat and died in few min
utes after being taken to the house. He
came from Wisconsin this spring.
August Richter. aged 81 years, at
work in the harvest field on the farm
OF Stephen Glutb, in the town OF Eden,
was sun struck on Wednesday,, and
died Thursday morning. Mr. Richter's
parents reside IN the town OF Sige]
On Thursday Peter Hillesbeim, aged
q years, in the town Of Sigel, was sun
struck while sitting on a binder. lie
was carried to the house and medical
aid summoned from this city, but the
unfortunate young man died about five
minutes before the doctor reached his
bedside.
John Wilfartb, aged "A years, herd
ing cattle near Mr.. Liesenfeld:s place.
in the town of Sigel, was overcome by
heat on Thursday, and when found was
laying in slough dead He complained
the day before OF feeling badly, but
thought it was nothing more than 10.
Cal disorder.
Anna Sperl, aged 70 years, of the
town of Cottonwood, mother of Anton
Sperl, was found dead last Thursday in
the corn field. and as she had not been
complaining it is supposed she was a
victim of sun stroke.
Several other cases of sun stroke are
reported, but the above are the onlv
ones that have proved fatal.
Many horses attached to HARVESTING
machines dropped dead from the effect
of the heat. The following are the
