WANTS HER REMOVED.
Mrs. AzelIa Smiths Administr atorship In
Danger.

An order to show cause why Aze]la
f. Smith should not be removed as ad-
ministrator of the estate of the late
T. A. Foster procured by W. N. Ply
mat, was heard by Judge Wilson We'd
nesday. Mrs. Smith was some tia e
ago directed bv the court to pay sS5
attorneys fees to Mr.. Plymat but
she ignored this order and took an ap-
peal to the district court. 1t was for
this reason that Mr.. Plymat brought
today's action. Mrs. Smith condu t.
ed her own case, and subjected Mr..
Plymat to q severe cross-eXamination,
but could not shake his testimony
When the case was argued, Mr.. Ply
mat cited case in one of the law
books. Mrs. Smith remarked that the
case might be interesting reading for
Mr. Plymat, but that he might as well
read the chariot race from Ben Hur as
far as it had anything to do with the
present case. She claimed that good
many things that have been done in
the probate court in her case are IL
legal, and said that the present &C
tion was out Of the jurisdiction of
Judge Wilson, and that he has no
right to remove her or to issue writ
requiring her to pay Mr.. Plymat.
The court reserved its decision.

Chas. Cooper, of Carleton college,

that he failed to secure the position,

fallen into the hands of an able edu.
Gator, who will prove in every way a
fit successor to the late President
Soaring. He is spoken of very highly
by all who know him, both as an edu-
Gator and citizen, and our people
will no doubt give him a warm well
come.

years had charge of the library and
the history department of Carleton
college, He is popular with both the
citizens and students there. A year
or so ago, the students of Carleton

ular teacher in the college, and the

wife and two daughters. He has a
cultivated tenor voice, and has sung
in the choir for several years. He b e
longs to the Congregational church. is
physically of good proportions, fine
presence, and is an interesting speak
er. He lectures on. historical sub
jects,'
Prof. Cooper came to Northtield
from the east, and is college grad
'uate.
Mr.. Paul Barney, who has attended
Carleton college, states sthat Prof.
Cooper will prove to be a very popu-
lar choice. Mr.. Barney speaks in the
highest terms of the professor.

CAN BE CURED
A Noted Physician Will Prove This
to Sufferers In Mankato.

The progress of modern medical
science mas led to the discovery of
successful methods of treatment for
most of those maladies once regarded
as incurable. Asthma has always
been regarded as belonging to this
obstinate class battling the skill of
the greatest physicians. Thousands
of sufferers know by their own expert
ence that little, If any, relief has
been afforded them by the methods
heretofore employed. DR.. Rudolph
Schlffmann the noted physician has,
after lifelong study of Asthma and
kindred diseases, discovered remedy
which not only gives instant relief in
the seyerest cases of Asthma, Hay
Fever and Bronchitis, but has &C
tually cured thousands whose cases
had been pronounced incurable. So
complete is his confidence in his
remedy. that to overcome the skep-
ticism of the public growing out of
the failure Of other remedies. DR..
Schiffman requests this parer to an
nounce that for the next three d. Us
he offers liberal sample box Of
''Schiffman's Asthma Cure" free OF
charge to all persons applying at
Robert Lamm's drug store, 325 South
Front street. He believes that an
actual test will be the most convinc-
ing, and in fact the only, way to over
come the natural prejudice of Jhous-
ands of Asthmatics who have hereto.
fore sought relief in vain. Persons
living out of town will receive pack
age free, postpaid, by writing direct
to DR.. r. Schiffmann, 315 Rosabel
ST., ST. Paul, MIMI, before Dec. 18th.
as no free samples can be obtained
after that date. Send simply your
name and address plainly written on

PECK POUNDED.
lie Tells a Narrowing Tale
the Reporters.
When He Went Home to See His ,Sick
Wife He Was Set Upon-..
The Other Side.

Charles Peck, a little man with
sandy hair and complexion, came to
the city hall at about eight o'clock
Monday and sought a Eplace to
sleep. One eye was blackened and
his face was bloody. He said that the
people where he lives would not let
him into the house. He wasj given
cell to sleep in.
Tuesday, Peck revealed his
troubles to the reporters.
He said that his house is at BIC
Mound avenue, in West Mankato,
where he and his wife trent two up
per rooms from man named Brun-
son, who occupies the lower part of
the house. On Sunday morning, &C.
cording to his story, Brunson's daugh-
ter came into his rooms and began to
order him around and he got mad and
"cussed and swore some" He didn't
intend that.Misss Brunson should run
his family affairs. Brunson then
took hand in the trouble and tried
to put him out, but failed. Yester-
day Peck was away all day, returning
at 1880 p. m. When he entered the
house to 90 upstairs to where his
wife was lying on a sick bed,
he says that Brunson ordered
him out of the house. He replied
"All right" and started to go. Then
Brunson started to strike him, q
scuffie ensued on the porch, which
was slippery, and both fell, Brunson
underneath. Then Miss Brunson
grabbed him by the hair. and his
wife's brother, Chas. Rathbone, held
his hands, while Brunson landed re-
peatedly on Peck's left optic while he
was helpless. AS soon as he could es-
cape, he went to the city hall.
Peck says that his three assailants
claimed that he had abused his wife,
but he denied that there is any truth
to this claim. He consulted County
Attorney Hughes, but was refused
warrant.
Peck has lived in Mankato off and
on for several years, and formerly be-
longed to the Salvation Army. He
went to Grinnell, Iowa, returning
four months ago, and married Myrtle
Rathbone three months ago. Brun
son and Rathbone belong to the Sal
Vation Army.
Chief Wagon and Officer Daniels
went over to Brunson's house this
forenoon and Investigated Peck's
story. It was learned that Peck does
not provide for his wife. and that she
left word yesterday morning for the
occupants of the lower floor not to let
Peck go up stairs to the rooms again.
Peck persisted IN going in last night
and it was necessary to punish him.
Peck accompanied the officers, but
his wife would not allow him to come
into the room, and his goods were out
on the porch packed in two valises.
