ANOTHER CASE OF SUICIDE.
Alex Waibel 81. shufaes Of the Mortal
Coil.
He HANGS Himself to 4 Tree in Cot
tonwood. ls 81

< -
Sunday morning people were some
what surprised to learn that Alex War
bel Sr., q resident of this city, had taken
his own life. Mr.. Waibel was an aged
and retired farmer who came to New
ulm a couple Of months ago. He had
built himself comfortable little home
west of the Turner Hall and was in every
way fixed to enjoy few years Of ease.
He was quite well -to-do, in excellent
health and living on the best Of terms
with all OF his family. His mysterious
action can be accounted for therefore on
no other ground than that his mind was
temporarily deranged. It is reported
that several years ago he attempted a
similar act, but of this we have no posi-
tive proof.
The particulars of the suicide are as
follows: Saturday he spent with his wife
on the farm In Cottonwood. In the af-
2ternoon she desired to start for home,
but he seemed otherwise disposed. Ac-
cordingly she came to town with her son
and left him on the farm to remain over
night. Thst he followed on foot is Ger
tain, for at five o'clock of the same after
noon he called at Turner Hall and was
also seen on the street by John Hey
mann. He appeared well then and no
one suspected anything. He must have
walked out again, for no one is known
to have accompanied him.
Sunday morning his son performed the
ordinary chores and then took his gun,
intending to go hunting. When he en-
tered the pasture behind the barn, he was
shocked to discover the body of his fa-
ther suspended by rope to branch of
a tree. One Of his knees touched the
ground, so it is evident that his death
must have been slow one and one per-
sisted in with energy
Mr.. Waibel was q man of a good ma
ny years. Old age seemed to affect him
peculiarly, for oftimes he acted strange
y. It is an interesting fact also that his
son, Barney, also came to death at his
own hands,

camp last evening and reports hay
making on the decline. The grass
is not so thick nor so plentiful as
in some years past, making consid-
cradle more work in in gathering a
given quantity. Then the distance
to be hauled is another item. Par
ties now cutting for the govern
ment contract at Fort Grant, are
hauling it from sixty to sixty-fve
miles, which is long distance for
the prices received. The contracts
called for native hay and the con-
tractors are faithfully endeavoriug

The following story OF the Dake
of Wellington is told in the Chris
tian Commonwealth. 'It was a
rule in his Grace's household that
all visitors should attend worship
on Sunday. One excused himself
on the grounds that he was a
Roman Catholic. and there was no
chapel near. His Grac. caused an
inqn1ry to be made, found there
was one thirty miles off. and the
guest was informed a carriage and
four were in waiting to take him
there. AS matter of fact he was
not Roman Catholic. but had
simply pleaded that. 9Gassan excuse.
However in he had to get, volens
nolens, and arrived back to dinner
after his involuntary drive of sixty

A new money making occupation
is open to aspiring young men. 1t
is that of horse dentistry. It has
only lately become apparent that
many horses have defective teeth
and that the dentists art can re-.
lieve them. We have already. so
it is said, short sighted horses in
spectacles. May We not expect
now to see them soon with full sets
of false teeth, upper and lower :?
1t is a curious fact that races of
animals which associate with man
century after century gradually
take on his diseases. Hogs and
chickens have cholera, COWS have
consumption and horses are very
often afflicted with rheumatism.-

The Scarcity Of Money.

The Courier journal is asked
by correspondent how much
money per capita of population is
III circulation in the country,
whether it is less now than for
merly, and if not, VIII y is it s.
scarce in some sections of the
country.
The quantity of money per capita
varies more or less from time to
time. 10 estimate, III other than
census years, it is necessary 30
guess at the population of the
country, the Per capita being OBJ
tanned by dividing the amount 3of
money in circulation by the sup
posed population Of country.
The latest estimate of the circu-
lation which we have atNhand is a
Treasury statement for the month
of Aug lst, 1894. Il gives the
total circulation on the first day Of
September, 1894, as $l,646,671, ,481.
The population Of the country at
that date is estimated to have been
68,642,0O0, and the quantity of
money in circulation to each head
of population at s23.99 On Sep
tember l, 1898, the circulation per
capita was $2501.
1t thus appears that the circula-
tion per capite Oh the first of Sep
tember of this year was about a
dollar less than at the same date
last year. The present per capita,
however, $24 iii rounl numbers, is
larger than it ever was until the
last two or three years. Ihe
amount on July |, 1862, was
$l3 IS; in 1865, 500 81; in 1873,
sls O4; in 1883, $22.9l; in 1891,
$23.4I; in 1892. $24.44.S Subject.
to occasional fluctuations the
amount of money in the country as
compared with the population has
been increasing steadily, and is
now nearly twice as great as it was
IN 1860, thirty four years ago.
The country enjoyed high degree
of prosperity in 1860 with circu-
lation of 1885 per capita. In
1898, with circulation of $25 per
capita, the depression of business.
was extreme.
