TO THE PHILIPPINES,

A Washington dispatch says Con-
gresham McCleary has been informed
that VIM. G. Masters, of Mankato, has
been appointed to a position in the
postal service in the Philippines. Just
what the nature of the position is, is
not given. Mr.. Masters is in the regu-
lar mail service and runs on the La
Crosse & Woonsocket.
This is quick work. Mr.. Masters ap-
piled to Congressman McCleary less
than month ago for the transfer, and
while there were only three or four pos
sible appointments to be made at this
time, Mr.. Masters seems to have been
among the lucky ones, thanks to Con-
gresham McCleary's prompt action in
his behalf,

A reporter recently learned of a remark
able experience which happened to Mrs.
Frederick Braig, of North Wyoming Ave-
nue., Scranton, Pa. In the interview with
her, she said: 81 suffered for many months
with pains in my back and side | called in
all the physicians whom knew; they did
all they could for me, but admitted that |
could not be cured. None of them seemed
to know just what my ailment was, and doc
tOred me for different diseases, but failed to
benefit me.
Instead of getting better became worse,
and was obliged to leave my work and re-
main at home. The pains became more
severe, and it was not long before | was
obliged to go to bed, and was unable to leave

suffered severe pains almost constantly, in

half. Mr.. Graf drove to the city, and
noticing doctors team in front of the
court house hitched his horses
> there and went in. He lost about fifteen
minutes in this way, as Buschena was
at the Jail.
When the hour was up at 10:45 a. m,
Buschena concluded that Mr.. Graf was
not coming andpcarried out his threat
to cut his throat. Sheriff Gerlich was
absent at the time, and Deputy Stevens
was about to depart, leaving Buschena
under the care of Miss Gerlich, as he
seemed to be very quiet and had been
ALLOWED to remain in the Office instead
of being locked up Just then the
telephone rang and Mr.. Stevens stepped
to the instrument, and while he was
talking, Buschena drew a knife from
his pocket aud after opening one blade
stabbed it into his throat under his left
ear with his right hand and then drew
it downward and across his throat with
a sudden jerk.
Miss Gerlich saw the move and at
!, once called to Mr.. Stevens who turned
quickly and took in the situation at
glance. Buschena had arisen from his
seat near the window and turned his
back toward the deputy sheriff, while
wound in his throat Mr.. Stevens
pinioned the mans arms behind his
back and succeeded in disarming him
after he had parted several thrusts that
were made at him.
Buschena tainted and fell to the floor
from loss of blood, and Mr.. Stevens saw
that an artery had been severed and
took hold of the end of it and held it
~closed in order to stop the flow of blood,
The doctors stated afterwards that had
he not done so.the man would have died
in a couple of minutes. Buschena
asked Mr.. Stevens to leave him alone as
he desired to die, and referred to his
family troubles.
DR. Harrington had arrived at the
court house to assist in conducting the
examination and was summoned to the
Jail by telephone. DR.. Andrews and
Zimmerman arrived in few moments,
and DR.. Warner was soon on the scene.
The wound was sewed together and the
examination was proceeded with and
Buschena was adjudged insane and was
taken to st. Peter. He will probably
recover
Mr. Graf went to the Jail as soon as
he heard of the affair, and Buschena
told him that if he had known that he
was coming he would not have tried to
commit suicide.
Buschena has resided in the county
about twenty years, living first in Lime
