long active service Of this officer, 80 brilliant
in its early stages and 80 often marked by

tarnished by conduct at variance with a

submission to the restraints Of wholesome

A Tragedy.

County Attorney H. f. Baker, of Cam
bridge, Isanti county, was in st. Paul
to confer with Attorneys General Childs
in reference to case which may prove
to be murder. Attorney Bakers state
ment of the case is as follows:
ION Nov. 90 Wilhelm Fischer, an aged
German who lived in the town of Brad
ford, was found dead by the wife of his
son Frank, and was buried without the
attention of the coroner having been
called to the case. Several years ago
Wilhelm turned over his property to his
son Frank, and the latter was to care
for him in his declining years. The old
man, vino was 70 years of age, lived in
a small building separate from the
house of Frank and it was in this build
ing that the lifeless body was found by
the sons wife. After the funeral the
nelghbors began to talk and reported
the circumstances surrounding the case
to me. Our coroner, DIR. Englund, was
in Chicago attending a course of lect-
ures, and did not return until last week.
He empaneled, coroner's jury on Fri
day and the body was exhumed, and
upon examination showed unmistak-
able evidence of violence. There were
two gashes on the right arm and the
throat bore marks which indicated
strangulation.

Too Mucn for Beans.

Haven't you got anything solid tc
eat?" said traveller, discontentedly
eying the profusion of pies and small
cakes on the counter of a restaurant at
one of the way stations. ''Shall give
you some beans?" said the proprietor,
with his most persuasive smile. The
traveller assented, and making short
work of them, asked: ''How much?''
twenty-five cents was the bland re-
Spouse. "What!'' cried the traveller.
twenty-five cents for a spoonful of
cold beans?" The proprietor continu-
ing firm in his price, the man paid it
and departed. But late that afternoon
a telegram was handed into the restau-
rant keeper, for which he paid twenty
five cents. 1t ran thus: Don't you Think
your price a little high on beans?''-

A Game Gander.

An Alameda California; inn-keeper
has black bear cub, about foot and
half high when he stands on his
hind legs and reaches for strangers
coat-tails. He knows he is not big
enough to whip the butchers dog, but
he doesn't hesitate to tackle the,gro-
GERS cat. The other day big gander
wandered into the yard, and marched
on sedately until the growing cub
barred the way. Then the gander ex-
tended its wings, stretched out its neck
and Missed. The cub did not under
stand that language, and made two or
three vicious but Intellectual cuffs at
the gander. Then the gander stretched
its neck little further, took firm
hold of the cubs ear, and began pound
ing him over the head with it's wings
Then the little bear wanted to quit,
but The gander wouldn't have it that
way. He just hung on and thumped
harder, until the cub roared in fear
and pain. This brought relief in the
shape of woman with a broom, who
drove away the gander, leaving the
cub to nurse a very sore ear.-Golden

Although by many believed to be incura-
Bile, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that i'll all its
earlier stages, consumption is a durable
disease. Not every case, but a large per-
ce1tage of cases, and we believe, .fmlLT oS
Per cent. are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration Gnclud-
ing tubercular nlatter), great loss of flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do You doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ica1 Discovery - were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, i'll nearly every
instance, been SO pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever i'll mis-
representing them, and WHO were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced TO confess that
it surpasses, iii curative power over this
fatal llalady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried i'll nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt. wlliskey,
and various preparations of the llypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.

Arrested.

Edward Pannell, of the st. Paul post
office, was arrested by the United States
marshal at the instance of Postoffic In
spector Woods. He was charged with
forwarding package addressed to Sc
attic, Wash. The postage amounted to
SO cents. Instead of purchasing the
stamps at the stamp window, it is
claimed by Inspector Woods, that he
pocketed the SO cents and made use of
four cancelled 10-cent stamps. In doing
this he committed crime which is
punishable by from one to three years
in the state prison at hard labor. Not
to be detected in the fraud, it is said
that he took the package down stairs.
which he had no right or business to
do, and there placed it in the mail pouch
which was westward bound. Before
he did this he recancelled the stamps
himself, another act which is consid-
cred wrong in the postoffice.

INFECTION AND DlsINFECTIoN
Matters Mothers Should but All Do Not
Understand.

Matters Mothers Should but All Do Not
Understand.
After a case of measles, recently, the
physician called to assure himself that
all was well, and to make sure disin-
fection had been thorough. The moth
er of the child had listened to instruc-
tions with one ear, while the other was
bent upon the coming of carriage
wheels to take her shopping. She
knew all about it, and so when ques-
toned by the medical man, she re-
piled: sob, yes; burned a teaspoonful
of sulphur, and sprinkled the floor
with copperas and carbolic, and washed
the walls with borax, and had the
maid put all the bedding in the tub,
and aired the blankets, and shook the
rugs, and spilled some camphor over
the mattress, and gave the children a
good scrubbing with ammonia in the
water. But Dick doesn't seem to feel
quite so well to-day and Nellie is
dropping"
The doctor listened aghast as this
lingo of disinfection. Poor Dick took
cold and was very i'll, and Nellie serious
y
knowledge of ''how to disinfect."
The use of half a dozen disinfectants
at once shows ignorance at the outset.
Few chemicals are valuable as disin-
fectants, and of these only such are
worth anything as are intelligently APP
piled. Some persons think anything
with an odor is sufficient. Quite the
contrary. Corrosive sublimate, one of
the best for killing microbes, has little
or no odor. Sulphur is only reliable
when its fumes are very strong and
they permeate every fiber of material
and every crevice of an infected room
or it's furniture. Three pounds of
powdered sulphur are necessary to
thoroughly fumigate an ordinary
sized room. Every crevice should be
tightly closed, and any draperies
which were not taken down be-
fore the case progressed should
be spread out over a temporary line
or on chairs. The fumes should reach
the remotest part of whatever is in the
room. The sulphur should be put into
an iron pan, placed in a tub with water
in the bottom to prevent fire, and then
ignited with a live coal. The room
should be left closed for at least TWEEN
ty four hours and well aired afterward.
Sunlight and air are about as essen
tial to disinfection after disease as is
medicine to recovery. 1t must be re-
membered that, owing to the vitality
of the contagion of disease, infection is
most liable where rooms are badly ven
tilated and health is not at par. Disin-
lection is often ineffetual because i'm
perfect, and consequently should be
well understood before being attempt
ed. If disinfection was perfectly un
derstood, disease would ere long be
stamped out, for there would not be
second case. Isolation is the great pre-
cautionary measure, and when the
least suspicion of serious trouble is
present, there should be no hesitation
in secluding the patient until positive
diagnosis can be obtained. Y.
