and entered into the practice OF his profession

AT Kasota yesterday Elisha Hill
committed suicide by hanging in the
barn of John l.. Pettis. Hill had Just
been released from the st. Peter insane
asylum. Sunstroke caused his insanity
and as he has been working in the fields

posed that the heat brought on tenn
porary fit of insanity. He is brother

Rev. David Hill, an Advent minister OF

Mrs. C. Gable died at her home on

Mr.. Hugh McMurtrie and had been sick
about six weeks. She was about forty
years of age and leaves husband and
family of three daughters. The funeral
will occur tomorrow at 3p. m. Mrs. Ga
BILE had large circle of friends who will
mourn her death as that of near rela-
tive. The stricken family has the SYM
pathy of their numerous friends and ac-
quaintances.
AT st. Paul Yesterday the case of
John Kramer, of Madison Lake, against
the Minneapolis & st. Louis road, was
up for hearing before the state railroad
commissioners. The complainant had
entered into an agreement with the road
to have furnished him shipping facili-
ties at switch known as the Allen x
fuller switch, few miles from Madison
Lake. Allen & fuller had an interest
in this switch, and objected to Kramer
using il unless he paid half the cost of it.
This left Kramer without any place from
which to ship 500 cords of wood he had
at that point, and he comes on the road
to compel it to furnish the facilities
which had been promised.
The Lake Crystal Union should not
agitate itself too vigorously over the idea
that the FREE PRESS has "put its foot into
it again, as we don't want Bro. Neff to
get headache on our account. The
people who wrote the Uni0n's editorial
rebuking us called at our Office the other
day and were plainly informed that the
columns of the FREE PRESS were open to
any statements regarding the matter
that Mr.. Melby or his friends desired to
make, but that in desiring to roast" us
or hold our reporter responsible for the
circulation of the stories. they were on
the wrong track entirely. We didn't
start the yarns, if yarns they are, and
did not allude to them until after the
minister's wife had requested that they
be denied. If the peacher or his friends
have further refutations to make they
could find better wav to circulate them
than burying them in the editorial col
umns of the Lake CRYSTAL Union.

MAGNETIC CURRENTS.

Our earth is great reservoir of Mag
netism, and great currents are in con.
slant flow, always in the same direction
much after the fashion of the Gulf Stream
and other "rlvers in the sea-" That
these powerful earth currents have an
appreciable effect upon the human or.
ganlsm, is universally conceded, and the
only point for discussion is how to ad.
just ourselves to these currents, 80 that
the effect shall be for good and not fol-
evil. The one position longest main
tanned by our bodies is that assumed in
sleep, and the best opinion seems to be
that one should lie parallel with the po-
lar axis, that is, head to north or to
south. To test the matter, we suggest a
trip in the elegant sleepersof "The Bur-
lington," direct north and south line
for $50 miles along the Mississippi, and
find out how soundly you can sleep
when in accord with the polar currents.
For information as to the tickets, rates,
etc., address local agents or write to w.

The Board of Public Works has start
ed the agitation of the improvement of
Front street. by recommending that it
be recurbed and reguttered from Byron
to Vine, a distance of fourteen and a
half blocks. The work done along block
Is shows what should be done olong the
entire street. A large part of the pro-
perry owners want the work done, but
the question is whether they can stand
the cost at present. The distance men-
toned is $500 feet in length, and the
amount of curbing and guttering needed
would be l1.600 feet, not excepting
cross streets. The board estimates the
cost to be 80 cents foot, which would
be $40, 440. The cost per lot would be
$3.50, which would have to be paid by
the property owners. 1t is only ques-
ton of time when the work must be
done, and of course the sooner it is
done the better for the street. The
board will get the opinion of the people
during the next two weeks.
