PRONOUNCED INSANE
And Sent to an Asylum For Exposing
Bank QFoOkadnega,

Henning (Minn.) Advocate, reform pa
per which has lately been exposing the
swindhng operations Of certain loan and
banking institutions For this he wRs
pronounced insane and sent to an asy-
lum. In July last Mr.. Hoakins exposed
the unsound condition Of the Fergus
Falls national bank, using the bank off,
Cers' sworn statement to prove his ssser-
tiona The bank officials sued him for
libel, and he In turn made more sweep
ing statements regarding their unlsw-
full transactions. He was about to de-
Eend his case in court, and prove his
statements to be correct when the pros-
ecuting lawyers adopted the plan Of
having him tried for insanity. So, az
the OnidR Journal of January 10 says, q
good republican governor appointed .
good republican doctor who was warm
friend Of the bankers to 'sit upon" Hos
kins. Here 10 the doctors report:
"His head 10 small and one eide Is
smaller. His hair is thick and his pal
ate highly arChed. His pupils react tC
light and accommodation, but the left
pupil ia irregular in outline.
"Mentally he is quick and tHlksEiVe,
always ready in argument, but argues
from his own standpoint. He expresses
no positive dslusions openly, but cum
ningly and lsughinglV says he believes
he is the victim Of a conspiracy. Hia
ideas Of reform are not based on reason
able premises, and his line Of argument
is founded upon his belief Of facts and
Biblical quotations, From these facts /
believe he belongs to the great army Of
cranks, and should not be allowed to be
at large"
80 Hoskins was hustled of to the in
sane asylum, and the corrupt bankers
bresthed more easily until q general up
rising against the outrage began to be
manifest.
From an appeal for aid, issued in Hos
kins' behalf by large number Of citi.
zens Of Otter Tail county, the following
is taken
"We, the undersigned, believe that q
rank injustice is being perpetrated upon
the person Of one of our citizens. We
appeal to that sense Of fair play which
has at all times sotuated the American
people. We are engaged in struggle
with an element boundless In wealth and
resources and uusorupulous in the exer-
else Of the same. What has been done
to Mr.; Hoskins may be done 10 US. With
the courts subServient az In this In
stance, there can be no difficulty in OBJ
tanning 9 board OF physicians to con-
denim any man to condition worse than
death who has the temerity to speak his
mind. We belisve that this action has
been taken to prevent Mr.. Hoskins from
proving his statement in court, relying
upon the apathy Of the people to submit
TO this outrage, as we'll as corrupt press
to mislesd public sentiment"
From the most reliable sources the
ADVOCATE gains the information that
Hoskins is not only harmless, but per-
fectly sane, and that he is being persO-
cuted only for his expose Of the Gusran-
tee Loan company swindle and the
bank mentioned above. The Chicago
Express is raising fund for bis defense.

Another Gem" for Michigan.

With our wealth of fruits, OF mines
and of forests, added To our vast and
diversified agricultural possibilities;
and with all these fringed about with
thousands of miles of picturesque coast
and lake scenery adorned with numer
Gus harbors and summer resorts; even
the most ambitious Michigander has
| settled down TO the conclusion that
this grand "MesopotOmia of the north"
has her full share of heavens best gifts

jewell" the value of which TO our
state, and, in fact to the whole country
III its remedial aspects cannot be esti-
mated, has been "unearthed" at Alma,
an important railroad junction, and a
bright little college town on Pine River
IN Central Michigan lutte north and
east from Muskegon. This discovery
Is a well of mineral water, which while
1t discloses the mineral qualities found
in some other Michigan Springs is
found TO contain Bromide of Sodiom III
quantity and il curative effect eqaIled
only by the famous Carlsban waters of
Germany.
What gives these waters their gIeat
value Is ihcIr effects upon nervous
cases. Thousands ot over-worked aud

now confidently believed that the wat

same results. In fact these results
have been experienced by hundreds al

merchants, accountantants, editors,
statesmen and many ladies oyertaxed
with manifold duties and responsible
ties have recently tested these Bromide
baths TO their great relief and delight.

said travelling man at the Bancroft

little town of Alma last Saturday night
on the same train with the college foot

teated the high school boys. Now
there IS nothing that advertises town

makes Ytie invlncible AT rowing, foot

est university IN America, because the
students 90 at their studies with the
same spirit they go at game of foot
ball. Well, as | was saying, Alma
seems like Il little burg that wouldn't
be alive at all If it were not for its coll
lege. II keeps the town agoing, yet
the bull headed business men don't ap-
precldte what they have. The boys
70 off the train feeling very jubilant
over the victory they had won, and
marched up the main street yelling and
cheering just as they always do. They
did not injuTe anyone by so doing, yet
the people stood around and kicked be-
cause they made 80 much noise. Some
OF the business men thought the young
fellows ought TO be arrested. 1t was

been anything stirring in the sleepy
place, and it was shock TO the somno-

that the Curriers' informant never

slurs we care nothing about, as they
show on the face that they originated
IN the fertile mind of some poor unfort-

For a New National Air,

The leader Of the West Point band,
A. A. Clappe, rsnews the much mooted
subject Of a new national air by Offer
ing TO pay $500 for the words and mu-
sic Of a song which shall be to the
people Of the United States everything
that the Marseillaise is to the citizens
Of France. His offer Is accompanied
by just criticisms Of the present 30
called national airs, which, IL not Dor.
rowed bodily from European sources,
are in tho main weak and meaningless.
We must except, Of course, that stsr-
ling naval hymn, "Ths Banner of the
Sea-" which has a resonance and
rhythm peculiarly adapted to the pur-
poses for which it was composer. but
which ia not claimed to bs OF sufficient
scoops TO serve tho comprehensive mis-
sion OF tie one patriotic air that every
nation should possess aa1 that every cit
izen Of that nation shoall know by
heart and sing intuitiyely whenever
periodically inspired,
While, therefore. the need of such
an air ia freely conceded. 1t may be
fairly doubted whether Baudmaster
Clappe's offer OF a money prizs will
cause it to bs conceived. This sra OF
small political artifce, deal and dicksr,
In which national principles are being
disgustingly subordinated to partisan
in%competsnoy. sectional spite and agra
rian tumult. is an unfortunate period
for the composition Of patriotic songs.
A time Of peace in any event is too
tame for that divine inspiration which
has to be fl iShed along the electric i'm
pulses OF great crisis and forged hot
and glowing in the fires OF national
stress. II We are hsneeforward to be
a nation OF perpstuated amity, we shall
have doubtless to got along without
any really good national hymn. but
presumably the security OF life and
property thus assured would fully
compensate us for any sentimental de-
iciency In heroic music.
