FRAUD ORDER ISSUED.
Mail Refused to Woman Who curee

Mail Refused to Woman Who Cured
\ All Ills.
Washington, Oct. "A fraud order,
issued by Postmaster General Smith
denying the use of the mails to Helen
hearing lasting over week before the
attorney general for the postoffice de-
partment, marks the termination of an
interesting and hard fought case. On
Sept. II last Helen Wilmans was called
| on by the postoflice department to show
cause Why fraud order should not be
| issued against her because of an alleged
scheme for obtaining money under false
pretenses which she was then operating
thru the mails.
The woman was represented before
the department by her husband, Col. C.
G. Post of Florida. and Attorneys o. I.
Greene and Frederick C. Bryan. The
governor of Florida and number of
| influential senators and representatives
also interested themselves in the case
and used their influence with the de-
partment to secure a decision favorable
to Mrs. Wilmans.
Mrs. Wilmans, in advertisements in
serted in various newspapers, claimed
power to heal by means of mental SCI
ence every i'll flesh is heir to, to allay
pain, vanquish disease, renew vitality,
restore confidence, grow hair, teeth and
other incidental, personal, useful and
ornamental features; restore sight,
hearing and sense of smell, arrange
happy marriages, allay poverty and in
crease wealth. in fact, do anything that
her patrons desired thru the medium of
mental science.
The rates for treatment We're 50 a
week or $40 a month, with special fees
in proportion to the seriousness of the
conditions desired or eradicated.
In circulars sent to prospective pa
tients. Mrs Wilmans it is charged. ex-
planned that her treatment consisted in
devoting to each of her patients fifteen
minutes of thought each day. She di-
rected the patient to seek a quiet spot
at q certain time each day, forget the
world, the flesh and the devil, and con-
centrate his or her Thoughts on Mrs.
Wilmans at Sea Breeze, Fla, and the
healing thoughts emanating from her
would enter their bodies and renew
them.
voted their thoughts to Mrs. Wilmans
may be gagged by the fact that the
amount received by the mental science
specialist for a long time averaged $1,000
a month.
When asked by the attorney general
as to how it was possible for her to de-
vote fifteen minutes of her time each
day to each of her patients, in view of
the limited number of hours in day.
Mrs. Wilmans explained that it was as
easy for her to think of 1000 persons as
one at one time. Her statement was
not questioned.
Evidence before the department has
shown that while persons of the name
of Dayton were acting as Mrs. Wilman's
clerks, 1t was Mrs. Wilman's practice to
open her mail in person. carefully ex-
tract the remittances, and turn the mail
over unread. to her clerks to answer.
The duty of her clerks was to send ster-
eotyped answers to fit the various cases
themselves.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE most health
full place in the United States to live i:
Marion, Iowa, according to reports re.
ceived by the Marine hospital service
from 1,19O cities and towns having s
population of 1000 or over. There ma,
have been more healthful place thar
Marion. but If so no official returns were
received from it. Marion has popula-
ton of 4,102 and there We're only six
deaths in 1900. making death rate OF
the phenomenally low figure of LAG pei
1000.
The average of the death rate in all
the cities and towns was 17.47.
1t appears from the compilation of the
Marine hospital service that the state
having the best record for health last
year was North Dakota, with death
rate of only 6.s5 per 1000 of population.
By far the most healthful of the popu-
lous states, however, was Iowa, the
death rate being 1L17.
Ohio, which made reports from towns
aggregating a population Of more than
4, 100000. shows a death ate of only 1884.
The notable reports of healthfulness
come from the northwestern and central
western states. Minnesota, the Dakotas,
Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Idaho and
Montana all have exceedingly low death
rates. On the other hand. the states
which are widely known as health re-
sorts, such as Arizona, Colorado and
California, have a comparatively high
mortality, probably because many per-
sons suffering from incurab,e pulmonary
troubles go there and die.
California last year had an average
death rate of 1888, Colorado 1928 and
Arizona 32.2s. The last named state
had the highest rate of mortality of any
state or territory in the union. New
York states mortality was 1885.
The town in the United States having
the highest rate OF mortality last year
was Carlyle, Ill. The population was
] 1874 and the number Of deaths 100 max
ing death rate of 1881. The most
of the large cities was
Washington with a death rate of 21.71.
death rate was 21.02:: Phila-.
delphia, 1888; Boston, 2O.s2; and Chi
icago, 1859.

kRueER's MIND FAILING.
Old Man Now Transacts Business With
Difficulty.

The Hague, Oct IA. W. d. VOL
marans, one of the Boer ENJOYS. who
has been visiting Mr.. Kruger at Hill
versum. found the mental condition of
the former president of the Transvaai
to be by no means satisfactory. Mr.
Kruger is slowly growing weaker phys
ically and mentally. His slowness In
reaching decision on important ques-
tions is found to be serious hindrance
to those working in Europe In behalf
of the Boer cause. At the slightest
question regarding his health Mr.. kru-
ger exhibits intense irritation, and We
hemently denies that anything is wrong.
The approach of winter causes anxiety,
as Mr.. Kruger refuses to leave Holland.
According to remark made by a
prominent Boer. the former presidents
condition would long since have been
much worse If hatred of Great Britain
did not nerve him to continue.

chores, to haul tics or lumber or

their time, growing rapidly, and
only fit for the lowest calling in
life; knowing but little more than
the mule he drove, with no high
or noble aspirations. How many
