SAFE INVESTMENT. To Whom It May Concern.

On the 9th and 3th of June visited the home office of the Building and Loan Association of Dakota, at Aberdeen, s. D., for the purpose of making thorough examination of its affairs. found W. H. Du Bois, inspector of finance tor the state of Vermont, visiting the office of the association upon my arrival, making his annual inspection Of it's affairs, prior to Issu- ing his annual permit to the association to transact business in Vermont; and there fore found it unnecessary for me to do much of the work expected, as MT Du Bois made very searching examination, leaving his en- dorsement on the books of the association to and the assets Of the association as represent ed. personally met President Jumper, who is also president of the First National bank of Aberdeen, and Secretary Easton; also most of the other directors Of the association. found them actively engaged in financial business in Dakoto, successful in all their personal af- fairs, and it is my opinion they are eminently fitted to carry on the business Of the asSocia- tion and manage it's million dollars Of assets. The association has upwards Of $l00,000 of loans in Aberdeen, which I personally in-
 spected, and while could not inspect all of
 the securities held by it, judge from the care
 which has been exercised in placing the loans which examined, the balance of them to be equally well taken. All in all, am of the opinion that the management of the associa- cess is assured for the future. Yours respect fully, JAMES MCDONALD, St AIbans, Vt.

It is feared it will take many of the worshippers from St Pauls, as many of the summer residents are in the habit of coming to Fairfield.

SEEMS TO BE INSANE.
Haenggi, Who Killed His Wife,
Acting Strangely.

There is strong faint of doubt as to
whether William Haenggi will be tried
for the murder of his wife, which was
committed a few weeks ago IN such a
horrible manner. County Attorney
Butler said yesterday, when asked
about the matter, that he would make
motion to proceed to trial at an early
day, but does not know whether the de-
Tense will move for a commission to in
quire into his insanity. 1t is said, how
ever, that movement is on foot to have
the man examined by a competent
tribunal as to his sanity. The peculiar
actions of Haenggi in the Jail have
caused close watch to be kept on him.
He has given no end OF trouble there.
He often breaks out in violent way,
and is distracted at other times. He
speaks of his wife as being at her house,
hold work at, times, and wonders that
she does not come to see him. He is
not conscious of having shot his wife at
any time, and. at times has an
distracted manner, and seems to
have visions of his wife and children
in the distance. His features have an
expression of deep mental pain and he
does not seem to appreciate his sur
roundings. 1t is said by Frank
Haenggi. who is near relative, resid-
ing at 100 Randolph Street, that the
murderer acted strangely three or four
years ago and talked in an incoherent
manner. His father acted queerly and
a COUSIN of the father was insane.
Two reputable physicians have exam
ined the man and found such symptoms
of insanity that they have no hesitancy
in pronouncing him insane at the pres
ent time. They found that his head is
asssymmetrical on the right side. an inch
smaller than on the left side when
the semi-circumference. The
right parletal diameter is found to be
six and three-fourths inches, while the
left is seven and one-fourth inches.
His tongue protrudes straight and
steady. The grasp of the left hand is
much the weaker. the pupils of the eye
react sluggishly, he walks stiff1y, with
the legs apart. The movement of his
hands is slow. and he seems to forget
the purpose for which he extended
them before completing the movements.
He talks incoherently and inarticuiate-
ly and understands but slowly. His
conduct in the jail mas been such that
he needs close watching.
