FROM
MFR. T. E. ROESSLE.
PROPRIETOR OF
The Arlington.
THE ARLINGTON, -
WASHINGTON, d. c.,
March 6, 1890.

My DEAR DR.. LIcnTHILL:
1t gives me great pleasure to state
that you effected a remarkable cure of
deafness and discharge from the ears in
the case Of my cousin, Marcus G..
Roessle, and that the cure has proved as
permanent as 1t was radical. feel sure
that without your skillful aid my cousin
would have been a deaf man all his
life. Knowing of other cases in which
you have been equally successful, !
cheerfully give you leave to refer to me
at any time, and hope that your prac-
tice in Washington will prove distin-
guished success.
Yours, truly, r. f. RoEssLE.

says with an air of astonishment:
The eouanimity with which Prince Bis
marcl received the defeat of the govern
ment combination in the recent elections to
the Reichstag showed the politician quite
as largely developed as the statesman in
the Chancellor's makeup.
There has never yet been successful
statesmen who was not quite as much a
politician as n statesman. \ man may
be a politician without being a stites-
man, but he cannot be a statesman with

Stevenson Criticised by Scandi-

The bad ''break" made by Hon. Hal
vor Steenerson on Thursday, in his in
terview published in an evening
paper of that day, was the
chief topic of conversation at
the state capitol yesterday, especially
among the representatives of the Nor
wegian and Swedish nationaiities, who
are holding places in the different state
departments at present. 1t will be re-
membered that Halvor, in bis advocacy
of the elaine Of Ole Lucken, of Crooks
ton, for state treasurer, or, rather, for
the Republican nomination for that
office, made the remark that there were
too many SWedeS in the state capitol
now. As matter Of fact, there are at
the present time just four members of
each nationality in the service of the
state at the capitol, divided up as fol-
lows;
Norwegians-Ma Jensen, celrk I'M.
der Col. Bobleter: A. X. LeiSberg, clerk
of the railway commission; Martin John
son, in the office of the state librarian,
and Hon. S. G. Iverson, deputy in
Auditor Braden's department.
Swedes-Capt. Joseph Osborne, of the
public examiners department; Herman
Stockenstrom, Gel. Hans Mattson and
Carl Edmund, in the state department..
But in reality the Norwegians are one
office ahead at present, for Col. Mattson
is balanced by Lieut.. Gov. Rice, who is
Norwegian. The remarks of Mr..
Stevenson do not please the gentlemen
of his own nationality at the capitol;
for as one of them yesterday re-
marked: "It showed very poor
Judgment on the part of Mr.. Steenerson
to start such q discussion and contest at
this time, and will positively damage
both nationalities If it has any effect.
81 am Norwegian" said Matt Jen-
sen yesterday, land 1 think that we
have fair representation in the capitol
now, and do not think there was any
reason for Mr.. Stevenson making any
shch statement. There are just four
Officeholders of each nationality in the
capitol now, and think the division is
fairfenough."

A MYSTERY CLEARED.
The Man Who Shielded About
Eight Weeks Ago.

The Man Who Suicided About
Eight Weeks Ago.
The body of the "floater" found at
the foot of Broadway Thursday has
been identified, and at the same time
the mystery surrounding the person
who was seen to jump from a flatboat
at the foot Of Chestnut street in the
month of March, is cleared up. The
body now at the morgue, and which
will be buried to-day, is that Of John
WahletZ, an Austrian farmer who for
merly resided near Woodbury.. About
three years ago he sold out and re-
moved to Chicago. In March he came
here on visit, preliminary to return
to friends and relatives in Austria. He
stopped at the Minnesota house, on
Rosabel street, and during his stay
in the city drank so heavily that
he was attacked with delirium.
He had amaSsed considerable money,
and upon one of his Sprees was robbed
of $500 in place in lower town. This
added to his despoEdency. He was
tinalIy picked up by Officer McEllistrom
on lower Seventh street and sent to the
central police station for safe keeping.
A few hours in that vermin-infeSted
hole is sufficient to drive to despair the
stoutest heart. He was told to depart
about 6 p. m. by Capt. Bressette, and
was observed heading for the river. 1t
is now evident that he went direct to
the foot of Chestnut street and plunged
in. The remains were identified by the
proprietor of the Minnesota house and
his bartender, by small bottle, a
leather pocketbOOk and the business
nj af chnoAnofar x1-hioh hoI
given him by the bartender on the day
of his disappearance, Wahletz having
asked for a suitable place to purchase
pair of boots. A new pair of boots
were on his feet when the body was
taken from the river. Wahletz was
fifty years of age and has no relatives in
this country. What disposition has
been made of the money he had amassed
is not known.
