MR.. HOWARD HAD THE TOOTH
ACHE.
The Curious Case of a Stranger Who
Spent the Night in the City--Cir-
cumstances Point to an Attempt at
Suicide--The Young Man Did Not
Take Sufficient of the Poison to
Cause Death.

Late yesterday afternOon.two young
appearing ladies entered the office of
well known local hotel and inscribed
their names upon the register as Mrs.
H. Howard, Minneapolis, Hazel War
ner, ditto" They engaged lodgings
and were assigned to room 81, and had
supper.
After supper, a young man appar-
emily "a to % years of age came to the
hotel and registered as 'H. Howard
Waseca," and announced that he was
the husband of the Mrs. Howard who
was registered above. He was as
signed to room 80, after being ques-
toned by The landlord, who thought
it strange that he should register
from another place.
At about $3.50 O'Clock in the
evening, Mr.. Howard went to
DR.. Follman's drug store and
asked for some chloroform. DR.. Foil
man asked him what he wanted 1t
for, and Mr.. Howard replied that
he had the tooth ache. DR.. FOllman
put up three drains, put a poison
label on the bottle, and told the GUS
toner that he should pour little on
piece of cotton batting and lay the
latter on the refractory tooth.
About eleven O'Clock. Mrs. Howard
heard her husband moaning in the
next room and acting as though in dis
tress. She went out and procured
the services of Officers Daniels and
Lundberg and entered Mr. Towards
room. Mr.. Howard was found in weak
condition and said that he swallow
edthe contents of the bottle. He was
taken to DR.. Follman's drug store,
and the doctor, when he learned
the plight of his late customer, said
81 thought that you told me that
you wanted the chloroform for the
tooth ache" Mr.. Howard replied, 81
did," Mr.. Follman asked him
"Are your teeth in your stom ach?
The doctor told his patient that
there was not enough cbloroform in
the bottle to kill anyone, and that he
need have no fear as to the result
Mr.. Howard had not seemed to dis
play any excitement over the matter
He was given an emetic, and sent
back to his room. The parties left the
hotel this morning. What reason Mr.
Howard had for taking the chloroforn
is not known, but the circumstance!

appeared as though somewhat des
pondent.

The National Armenian Relief
Committee recently forwarded to
Turkey $35, 900. They have Just re-
ceived a cable message from the In
terhational Committee at Constan-
tinople, of which the British
Ambassador is Chairman, acknow
lodging the remittance, and stating
that the funds in hand are entirely
inadequate to meet the awful suffer
ing and restitution, and that careful
investigation has shown that not less
than 10000 children have been made
orphans by the late massacres. These
"Wards of Christendom" can be
easily saved from starvation or
debasing enslavement in Moslem
homes, and can be cared for at the
rate of dollar a month. but thous-

under osteopathic treatment and the
relief from it induced him to investi-
gate the treatment fully. A short
time ago he delivered a lecture before
class of students of osteopathy and
in closing said:
"When we get mankind relieved
from the use of the knife, 1 shall be
glad, for am welded to nothing ex-
cept the health and happiness of
mankind. I would save them from
every ache and pain. | have no love
for the scalpel,n mo love for pain. When
the body'is mad tits mad clear through
and when it is glad it is glad all
over; when the eyes cry so does the
liver, stomach and heart. And when
it is full of fear the whole body is
scared. When you want to cure hu-
manity you have got to go away back
and teach the people TO seek good In
everything; in night as well as day,
in storm as we'll as sunshine; to hope,
to trust, to seek what they want in-
stead of keeping on their mind per-
petually what they do not want.
\ You have to exercise your
sense of touch and judgment. You
have to bear very hard on some peO-
pie, on others the slightest touch is
enough. I can see at once, as little
as l know of it, the extreme art that
is required. \"
DR.. kirkpatrick, who has charge Of
the Mankato branch of the Northern
Institute of Osteopathy, and is
meeting with great success, fully en-
dorses the statement made by DR..
Pratt. The success of the treatment
is it's own best recommendation.

Wednesday forming at the Normal.

At 9:45 the delegation, accompanied
by twenty-five or more OF our citizens,
and a goodly sprinkling of Mankato
ladies, repaired to Normal hall and
participated in the devotional exer,
icises. These over, President Soaring
briefly welcomed the legislative COM
mittees and friends of the school, and
then in asfew words called attention
to some important matters anent the
needs for the appropriation asked for
by the Normal board. He said that
the total enrolment of the school had
increased over last year about 10, it be-
ing this year, $780, @ The Normal de-
partment contains an enrolment OF
3S1, representing fOrty-one counties,
all in Minnesota with the exception
of four. OF this large attendance, II
per cent represent the sons and
daughters of farmers The Practice
school last year contained an enroll
ment of 342, with an increased at
tendance this year.
The Model department is wholly
overcro wded, said President Soaring
1t needs additional recitation rooms
and more than anything else it re-
Quires additional cloak and toilet
rooms.
The library room is too crampeo
and the library itself shamefullJ
wanting. Less than thousand vol
umes ofsgeneral literature for such
school as this is wholly inadequate
and the $1,000 asked for from the
legislature is intended to be expended
for standard works. The President
also explained how and where the pro
posed addition is to be built, and what
relief it will afford to the present
congested condition of many of tn,
rooms.
The visitors were then divided int
groups, placed under the guidance o
Pres dent Soaring, Director Clark ant
Senator Barr and shown through thu
building, visiting many of the recita
tion rooms, and getting general ide;
of the condition Of the building.

were again gathered into the assembl.

The globe for his enormous collection and

has effected the most extraordinary cures in

banks gave an indemnity bond, secur-
ing the treasurer for whatever deposits

A technical point raised was, that
those who signed the bond failed to
qualify as to the amount each signer
was worth before the bond was APP
