Seventeen years ago Emanuel Beck
left his wife and family in Yankton
and went to the Black Hills. They
never heard from him again, and as
he was reported dead, made no efforts
to find him. He was married to his
wife In Lignoier, Westmoreland
county, Pennsylvania, in 1916, and
with her removed to Wisconsin pri )r
to the war of the rebellion. Here he
enlisted as a private in Company B,
33d regiment, Wisconsin volunteer
infantry, serving three years. After
the war he and his family removed to
Dakota. Many years ago Mrs. Beck,
believing herself a widow, applied for
a pension. Before doing so, however,
her attorney wrote to the pension
office asking If Emanuel Beck was on
the pension roll, and if not was his
p~ostofice address known. A negative
reply having been received, Mrs.
Beck at once set about procuring
testimony in support OF her claim
and had, as was supposed, established
it, when the other day she was
surprised to receive notice that her
claim was rejected on the ground
that her husband, Emanuel Beck,

his friend would appear in the presence
of the Chief Executive Of the nation.

AsTOR's NEW VENTURE.
The New York Millionaire to Reside Per-
manently In England.


Since William Waldorf Astor has
purchased Clifeden, the Duke of
Westminster's famous country seat
near London, for 81, 200, OO0, his
friends have accented as truth the
news of The Press a year ago that
Mr.. Aston mean to live in England

is now in New York and who is in the
line of succession to the House
of Lords, says that Mr.. Astor's
popularity in London is enormous
OF course he will never cease to be an
American, but if he becomes an
English subject there is no reason
why he should not have a POLITICAL
career over there, and perhaps a
title. He failed in New York
politics, ran for congress and was
beaten by Governor Flower, and it
would be easier, perhaps, today for
him to become Lord Waldorf in
England than Governor of New York
of his native state at home. The
peerage, as my English friend
admitted, is often a question Of
money-oftener certainly than
political success in the United States.
For instance, money has made only
one governor Of New York, the pres
ent one, but 1t has made a great

other cases.

Wanted TO Brush Them or.

Passing down a quiet street not long
since | saw two beautifully dressed
women approaching. They were clad
in delicate %colors, and spick and span
from mead to foot. Between them and
me was a garbage wagon, and just as
they came opposite about two tons of
ashes was hoisted into it with a result
to the women that was detrimental to
their appearance to a marked degree.

Il know he did it on purpose" said
the other.
"My eyes are so full of ashes | can't
see a thing"
"And so is my mouth said the
other.
But the climax was reached when
the driver of the garbage wagon ac-
costed them, saying:
"Wonldn't yees like me to brush

These two women proved hat warm
hearts were beating beneath their
dainty clothes, for they only thanked

Cbolera Precautions.

Mrs. Louise Russell Smith, A. NJ,
M. d., medical missionary at Van,
Turkey, in Asia, writes Of her exper-
fences and observations to the New
York Tribune under date OF Febru-
airy Z, 1893:
"In watching this epidemic several
facts have been very evident. First,
The infection is powerless among
people who are careful to cook all wa.
ter and food. We worked among the
people without regard to infection,
staying with them for hours, applying
friction, etc, but we drank boiled wa
ter and ate hot food. In a native
town ear US, where sanitary rules
were strictly obeyed, one of the wo.
men, in bravado, drank three cups Of
unboiled water, saying to the rest,
Lets see what it will do" She died
in just twenty-four hours.
Second-The majority Of cholera
cases can be saved if proper means
are used at the very beginning-that
is, just as soon as abdominal trouble
shows itself. Our treatment consist
ed Of rest, opium, camphor and cap,
sIcum.
Third--There are come cases that
nothing can touch, although attacked
at the onset. These seem to be cases
where such an amount Of poison has
entered the system that death comes
almost before symptoms. We were
called one afternoon TO see a woman
who had been spinning the previous
evening. About midnight she en-
tered her husbands room saying she
was sick. When we saw her at 3
o'clock she was unconscious, and she
died early in the evening.
Fourth-In this epidemic the num-
Der Of rapid convalescences had been
small. Most of the patients passed
from the disease into d typhoid state,
in which some ultimately died OF
uraemia, while others finally recov-
cred health.
Fifth-Water taken to appease the
almost intOlerable thirst during the
acute stage is absolutely fatal. We
saw this fact demonstrated again and
again. The most striking instance
was of a woman who rallied from the
collapse and was two days along in an
unusually favorable convalescence.
That night, when the family was
asleep, she arose, went down to the
court and drank all she wanted. The
relapse came within an hour, and she
died the next day.
Finally, it takes more than slight
cold to put an end to a cholera ep-
idemic. The disease did not appear
In Erzroom until after the heat of the
summer was over, and it did not get
from Persia to Van until we'll on in
November. We are hoping that this
unusually severe cold that we are now
enjoying may prevent a return in the
spring. But that time must decide.

WISCONSIN ~DEsPERADOEs.
A Tale of some Who Figured About
Durand.

DuFdnu.
Superior Call: S. w. Scott, a we'll
known capitalist Of Durand, and w.
III. Huntington, editor of the Durand
Courier, are in town on some real
estate matters. In the course Of a
chat with a Daily Call representative.
Mr.. Scott told an interesting story of
exciting events in Northern Wis
consin.
Some twelve years ago there lived
on the outskirts OF Durand two
desperadoes known as the civilians
Brothers" whose correct names were
Ed and Lon Maxwell. They had long
been the terror of this and neighbor-
ing states. AT Durand lived Charley
Coleman, an eX-sherif of Pepin
county, and one day his brother Milt,
the sheriff of Dunn county, arrived
there with a prisoner whom he was
taking home from Minnesota. 1t was
learned by the two Coleman brothers
that the Maxwell brothers had been
cen in town that day, and as a
reward of 81 900 was offered for their
apprehension because of horse steal.
ing in Illinois, it was determined by
the COlemans to capture them.
Shortly after dark they started for
the Maxwell home, we'll armed, and
on the way came into contact with
the men they wanted, who lay in
ambush, after learning that the
Colemans were looking for them.
Shots we're exchanged without loss of
time and both Of the Colemans
expired. The Maxwells fled and
nothing was seen of either for about
a year.
Ed, the more desperate of the two,
was finally captured in Nebraska and
brought back to Durand. In the
court room he made a clean breast of
the killing and while he was being
taken back to jail Mr.. Scott saw a
posse of young men render the five
sherifs helpless, sieze the prisoner
and a moment after hang him to a
tree in the court yard. 1t was one Of
the most %cleverly conducted lynch
ings yer known in these parts. Only
the night before a young man had
come to Scott and asked him for adj
vice as to how to make a good moose.
Some of the leading men OF the place
were implicated In the hanging, but
no one was eve arrested for It, al
though one person who was very
wealthy offered a reward OF $1,000 for
the detection OF the guilty parties.

Hamburger Nachrichten interviewed
them in prison and writes:

stood with the Dutchman? Did you
speak his language or heyours."
There was not much talking going
on. Nobody cared to talk, and had
scarcely the strength to do so. In
order to prevent ourselves being
frozen to death we climbed from the
scuttle to the forecastle, which at
this time stood above water, and
from the f~orecastle back again to
the scuttle. While standing there
somebody spoke the first time CT it.
Who it was l don't know. 1t is sufi-
cent TO know that it was spoken,

Others could live. The Dutchman
said he did not care anything about
his life. He would die. But we
others said that if it had to be it
must be done fairly, as is the custom
in such cases."
Custom. Why, have you ever
heard of such a frightful custom?"
Yes; and we decided to do it that
way. First we waited from morning
till noon. Perhaps after all a ship
would come. But none came. Then
the Dutchman began again. He said
that we were to make an end Of the
matter, n way or the other: he
could not bear it any longer. So we
descended again to the ~forecastle,
one after the other. When there one
of us tore off a piece of linen and
divided it into four parts, one OF
which was shorter than the others.
This short one meant death. The
man who drew that was to die, and
the Dutchman drew it,"
Olaf Andersen passed the back of
his hand over his brow. This was
indeed the only sign of excitement
shown by him. He still spoke in the
same hollow tone as in the beginning.
He continued:
"The Dutchman became very still,
and we remained SO, too. All at once
he turned his face toward the sea
and his back to us, and that was the
sign. None Of us liked to look in his
face. | from behind passed my arms

"And not W before this?"
"Thirst, hunger, and sleeplessness-

as if he would like to Danish the
demons which were called up by the
memory OF those awful days.

There has been considerderable talk

women. In the west there is no
question, western gallantry never

mhere there are so many women, like
