Young woman Becomes I3a91d From
Fright and 10 Una6Ie 20 speak.
Waterloo, April 81. "A CURIOUS case Of
jhysteria frightened some Of the people
In the Hall house on West Fourth stree.
Wednesday, morning. "A young woman
who has been stopping at the house
failed to appear as usual in the morning
and at about 7:30 alarm began to be felt
that something had befallen her and an
attendant OF the hotel Knocked at her
door. There was no response and it was
finally decided to break the door in.
When this had been done the woman
was found lying upon her bed, but fully
dressed and her limbs completely rigid.
a physician was called, who endeav-
ored to administer medicine, but the
Jaws Were SO tightly and immovably
closed together that nothing could be
forced between them. Manipulation of
the arms finally caused the body to re-
lax its rightly and at length the young
woman could answer questions put to
her by those about She said that she
had read until late in the night and
had then dcided to retire. Some sound
which she heard had excited a nlomen-
tary fright and she fell over on the bed
and lay all night in the condition she
was found. She was entirely conscious
all the Time, and heard the people Who
passed thru the halls and lodged in the
adjoining rooms. She heard the knocks
at the door, but was utterly, unable to
make any response.
BY no effort of her will could she move
q single member Of her body and the
hours of her prolonged helples were
like hideous nightmare. She ionged
for help toEcome but could not summon
1t nor make any sign when it did come.
The most dreadful thing about Il was a
fear that she might cease breathing and
be regarded as dead. All the stories she
had ever read of people being buried
alive while in a condition similar to that
in which she was. passed thru her mind
and augmented her terror. 1t was a
great relief when she finally found her
self able to respond to the inquiries
which the physician put to her, and she
gays she would rather die than to again
|pass thru such an experience as she then
endured.
Today the lady appears to have very
nearly recovered her normal condition.
Her name is Miss Dora Zahm and her
home is at Oshkosh, Wis. She has been
l5stopping at the Hall house since March
10, and is retoucher of photographs,
working with parties who have been en-
larging pictures in this city.

FLOWER GARDEN HATS.

IUeIWein Register.1
Before Easter The. ladies in some of
the churches began to take their hats
of quite regularly, but now it is DIFF
fsrent. Sunday the writer gazed over a
sea Of beautiful Easter flower garden
hats and listened to the gospel pro-
claimed over wonders Of the millinery
art. And It would be almost cruel to
ask the ladies to put those various
.hued combinations out OF sight.

A scAB TRUST.

Here's q scab case for you with q
vengeance, and 1t owes It's origin, birth
and maturity to Oskaloosa's unneces-
isary greed. 1t appears that when the
smallpox scare was at its height in that
village there was a rush for vaccine
matter. and everybody was ordered to
be vaccinated. All at once the doctors
originated a combine, sort of trust In
the scab and sore arm business and the
price rose at once to IS cents. But this
particular trust was of short duration.
like all OF them should be. and now
comes one OF the doctors rushing into
newspaper print and offering to pay
back 25 cents on each sore inflicted, and
create as many more as the community
may desire at the strictly scnb price OF
10 cents. Whether this remarkably low
rate was reached thru troubled con-
science or a rush OF business deponent
ssayeth not.
SCHOOL TEACHERS AS BUYERS.
[Sheldon Sun.l
In talking With one teacher who at
tended at Sioux City. yesterday, She
said she had bought three shirt waists
there which cost her $11.25 and that
they sold goods much higher there than
here; that she bought those particular
waists at1the exorbitant prices because
she could not find exactly what she
wanted here. If 500 or 800 school
ma'ams are here three days. the time
the association will last, they will buy
at the lowest estimate $3.50 worth Of
gum. $500 worth OF ice cream and so "a
Si25 worth of Baby Talcum face pow
der, at least 81 900 worth of ready made
suits, from $500 to $500 worth OF hats
and. let's see: each school mistress has
two feet-that'll make 1000 all counted
and as many as 150 OF them will buy
shoes at 80 per pair. making $3.50, and
then there is the board and lodging, 500
at 81 per day, three days will give Shell
don 2,400 of big round dollars. Bless
you. ii would be better for Sheldon
considered solely from business
standpoint, than free silver and the
gold standard combined.

Mrs. w. H. Kistler Of Denver spoke
OF her personal experience as q member
OF the Denver school board and the
courtesy and respect shown by the
men to its women members and how
glad they were to have the women share
their responsibilities in visiting the
schools, looking after sanitation and
even the finances. II was her belief
that not through men alone. nor women
alone, but through their united hands,
each for the other, both for all, that

THE EDUCATIONAL SESSION.
BY MISS JULIA HASKELL,

chairman Educat ional Committee, n. F. w. c.
The session devoted to education at
the federation was Of great practical in
terest. 1t was presided over by Mics
Margaret Evans, the dean OF the wo-
mans department OF Carleton college Of
Mortified, MINI. Her theme was the
importance of a complete moral devel-
opment of the child and the earnestness
of public school teachers. She said
that club women are not pessimists.
They say Pass the cream" not as
there milk in the pitcherf" They are
glad that one-half Of the apple is good
and do not complain because the other
half is poor.

ing the needs of southern public schools.

compiled report Of the needs Of west
ern public schools from the replies given
by state superintendents to the ques
ton, "What public school legislation
do you need in your state?" A ripple
of laughter passed over the large audi
encs when Mrs. Howe stated that Min
nesota was the only state found which
absolutely needed no further education
al legislation. South Dakota laws need
in some minor details, that
they may be more readily understood
by school officers. Illinois needs law
transportation for children to
and from school and small tax for
libraries. Washington and Nebraska
need legislation to provide for libraries
10 each school district, and for the lat
ter law consolidating school districts.
Ohio's greatest need is state normal
school. The Ohio Federation of Wo-
mems clubs has resolved to exert it's
force in the establishment of one. In
diana needs longer term of service for
state and city superintendents. Michi-
gan needs the same, AMI that the su-
should have more control

the circumstances, how Lady Cleve-
land would have talked and smiled
so that everybody would have re.
membered that luncheon as the pleas
ATTEST time and the most delicious

1t is unfair to Mrs. Mclean to COM
pare her to that lady about whose
christening couch the Cpulent fairies
danced and lowered her with the
position of the first lady in the land
and the most successful mistress of
the White House since it was first

full children. Guile other fairies pre-

Golf.
The laying out of golf course near
Lincoln is welcome sign Of the
spread Of outdoor games. We are
not an up-tO-date people. Our sus-
picion of all new styles and games and
dress is survival of the times when
all the business houses on Salt creek
were saloons and the tenderfOot wore
a billed shirt at his own risk. The
east has been playing golf for twelve
or fifteen years, the south. north and
Pacific slope for seven or eight years.
but this geographical centre of the
United States is the most stationary
point on the circle. Golf has now
started to hunt the hermit places Of
the earth and has conquered Lincoln.
where the men are afraid to wear
beaver hats with evening dress. where
the banks issue cheques the size Of
theatrical posters, where a liveriea
coachman would be stoned, where
progressive euchre and prizes have
been the cherished distraction for
years. and where until lately there
has been no systematic distinctive so.
cial enjoyment Of the summer.
Golf is a leveler of artificial distinc-
tions. The best man wins, it is as
square as an honest prize fight.
There are no professionals. 1t en-
courages craftsmanship. The man
who perverts the truth about his
score is discovered in time and &C
quires eventually exactly the same
reputation he has in business. On
the other hand, healthy rivalry of
the links is an encourager of morality
in conduct if not Of temperance in Ian
guage. 1t also enlarges a mans cir.
Gle of acquaintances and teaches him
that he must leave his enmities and

Under the head OF general needs, Miss

enactment, reviewing the history OF such
laws and stating that thirty.one states
now had them on their statute books.
She said without strong administrations
they were q dead letter and explained
that the contention that they we're IN
constitutional and tyrannical was being
overcome. She appealed to her hearers
to create public opinion in favor Of COM
pulsory school attendance and also for
the compulsory education of the south

The Importance OF the elementary
school was treated Of by Mrs. Laura B.
Elder Of Indianapolis, Indiana. Miss
Fruchte Of st. Louis opened the general
discussion by urging club women to use
their influence in establishing vacation
schools and play grounds and for the
enactment OF child labor laws. Mrs.
Thomas Catman. Arkansas, was the
first woman to take advantage Of the
opportunity to speak from the floor.
She said that the public schools were

Andrews of Omaha said that many
teachers did not dare to stand firm az

politicians.
Mrs. Robert Burdette of California,
was greeted with applause az she arose
to say that California needed women on
