Man Who Is a Crank on the Subject O
lee Palaces.

n man VINO Is n Crank on the Subject of
lee Palaces.
Christopher Scholiberg was on trial at
Spokane last week charged with clubbing
his wife and choking his stepdaughter
Scholiberg Is an old man who is peculiarly
afflicted with brain weakness, the result Of
his brain having once been frost-bitten.
This fact was made much Of in the defense
physician present testifying that he had
no doubt but that the man had suffered to
some extent In that way; that be had heard
OF such cases iii the provinces. The Judge
took all things into consideration and fined
the old man $50. not thinking the fact OF
frostbitten brain sufficient excuse for a
man to give for clubbing his WIFE
The story Of Scholberg's frozen brain Is
curious one, according TO the Spokane
Spokesman. Scholiberg moved his family
to Washington several years ago. Before
that he was engaged in building the won
derful ice palace in St. Paul, and it is be-
lieyed by his neighb0rs that his brain was
trost-bitten. 1t Is said that he was working
In the ice palace for several weeks. His
praln got chilled and gradually froze as
solid as ice, and during this time he was
steadily ut work, but as gradually as the
brain froze he became dull and stupid Some
oil the most eminent physicians In the coun-
try attended him, but he was never consld-
cred entirely cured.
Ii is claimed that he ALWAYS was a crank
on the subject OF ice palaces and he started
west with the idea of building one in Wash
ington. His idea was that he could build
an ice palace in any part Of the United
States al any time OF year. lie was 10 make
the Ice In an artificial way, and by some arti-
hcial process the building was to last for
ever. He started in farming and but for
his wife would have tried building his barns
and dwelling-house of ice. The Scholiberg
family are thought well OF except when Mr..
Seholiberg starts in to do up the family.
The neighb0rs do not think his brain is en-
tirely thawed out, and they claim on cold
nights. or especially hot days, he Is materi
ally affected. At these times he acts very
Strangely. -

The extreme low prices of cotton
is causing some of us to think serious
ly of trying to raise wheat again.
Cotton at Sc. and flour So per barrel,
is enough to cause men to make an
effort to produce his flour at home.
What has been done can be done
again. The time was during the war
and even later, when majority of
farmers raised wheat. They were
forced to it then and we are going to
have to produce wheat or eat Johny

ance, and joined in the exercises.
Marching by the school, the most of
the girls being dressed in uniform
of blue, was indeed pleasant
sight. Several very interesting
speeches were delivered by young
men of both schools. We couldn' t
help but feel that more than likely
that some of our boys will be great

Tompkins and John Purtle, of the
Laneburg school, and Jas. w.
Franks and Guss Garrett, of the

orators of the day. They all ac-
quilted themselves very creditably.
Their speeches especially their very
fine delivery, was pleasant surprise
to all. Mr.. j. W. Wylie and Mr.,

numerous pieces, so mirth provoking
as to cause the most serious TO smile
audibiy. Taking all into consider
alton it was big day for oar burg,

goes away from us our best wishes
