He Made A LITTLE SPEECH

voices distinctly issuing from an open
window He couldn't help hearing, it
was so quiet in the street. Perhaps it

answering, and it was quite calm and
gentle; and it said:

he had ever been before.

Human Heart
Eaten by a Man Who After
wards Goes Crazy.

Wichita, Kan, June 25-A war
rant will be issued this week on
information furnished by DR..
Cave, chief medical examiner for
the Modern Tontines, for the ar
rest of Alexander Johnson,
charging him with lunacy. John
son was janitor for DR.. Cave. He
discovered what he supposed was
a beef heart in the doctors Office
and took it home and ate part of
it. He became deathly sick and
sent for DIR. Cave, who informed
him that the heart was that of a
man that he had that day dissect-
ed.
Since then Johnson has been
acting queerly and he now posi-
lively declares that the dead man
appears to him regularly at night
with his left hand extended, hold
ing the heart and pointing at him
with the right in a threatening
manner. The man is crazed
with fright.

Doctors and Editors.

he uOCLOTS are all IT1cnQS OF
ours. Yet at the risk of incurring
their dfspleasure, we reproduce
the following:
We don t know where it comes
from any more than we know
whose rains-spout the doctor S
medicine comes from. We find
it IN a paper credited "Ex." If
we knew the author we would
gladly give his name, because
the article is really good. Here
it is:
The doctor from Algona said
that newspapers are run for rev.
enue only. What in the thunder
do doctors run for anyway? Do
they run TOR glory? One good
doctor bill would run this office
six months.
An editor works half day for
S3, with an investment of $4,000;
a doctor looks wise and works ten
minutes for 81, with an invest
ment of three cents for catnip
and a pill box that cost S1.37.
A doctor goes to college for
two or three years and gets a
diploma and a string of words
the devil himself cannot pro-
nounce, cultivates a look Of gravi-
ty that he pawns off for wisdom,
gets a box of pills, cayuse and a
meat saw and sticks out his shin
gle fullfledged doctor. He will
then doctor you until you die at
a stipulated price per visit, and
puts them in as thick as your
pocket book will permit.
An editor never gets his educa-
ton finished. He learns as long
as he lives, and studies all his
life. He eats his bran mash and
liver, he takes his pay in turnips
and hay, and keeps the doctor IN
town by refraining from printing
the truth about him.
We would like to live in Algona
and run a newspaper six months
and see if the doctor would
charge newspaper for revenue
only. If we didn't get the glory
out of it we would agree to take
one of his pills after saying our
prayers.
If the editor makes a mistake
he has to apologize for it, but If
the doctor makes a mistake he
buries it. If we make one there
is law suit, tall swearing and a
smell of sulphur, but if the doc
tor makes one there is a funeral,
cut flowers and a smell of var
nish The doctor can use a word
a foot long but if the editor uses
it he has to spell it.
If the doctor goes to see anoth-
er mans wife he will charge the
man for the visit. The editor
calls on another mans wife he
gets a charge of buckshot.
Any medicine college can make
doctor, but can't make an editor
he has to beborn one.
The editor works to keep from
starving while the doctor works
to ward off the gout. The editor
helps men to live better, and the
doctor pulls sick man IS leg; the
editor IS glad if he can collect his
bills at all. Revenue only? We
are living for fun in spite of the
doctors. Iowa Medical Journal.

SUIT OF MRS. MANSFIELD
DEFENDANT IN MUTUAL RESERVE
FUND LIFE ASSOCIATION.
Allegations Set Ont in the Complaint
Mrs. Landers's Suit-Other
Local Court Cases.

Margaret Mansfield yesterday brought
suit against the Mutual Reserve Fund Life
Association for 81, 200 on $1,000 policy held
by her husband. which, she AYERS, the COM
pany refused to pay. She asserts that her
husband, William III. Mansfield, took out
a $1,000 policy in the association Aug. 10,
1888, agreeing 10 pay bi-monthly INSTALL
ments .of s3.41. These instalments were
paid till August, October and December OF
manded that the payments be increased TO
A.S1. The assessment was paid she says.
and in February, 1895, the association made
a demand for a more excessive payment
SI-53 bi-monthly-and at the same time was
not charging other members more than the
s.. Al This assessment was paid, she says,
but when a like demand was made in April
the policy.
The plaintiff AYERS that her husband died
on Oct. 4, 1900, and the association refused
to pay the policy on the ground that II had
lapsed, the holder refusing TO pay the as
sessment of April, 1888. She asserts that
there was a provision in the contract with
the company that after five years bonds
should be issued for continuance of certifi-
Gates of membership and principal which
Gate towards paying future dues and as
sessrpents, and that the specifications OF
this contract were not carried out by the
association refusing TO apply the funds 10
while the money had not been taken out OF
their possession
