TAKEN WITH APPENDICITIS
Life of Burt E. Ives Saved By sn 0per'
stiOn at st. Jos ph's Hospital.

atiOn at St. Jos ph's Hospital.
Burt E. Ives, travelling salesman
for the Mankato Fruit Commission
Co, whose home is at GAINESVILLE, was
taken sick on the road with appendi-
citis two weeks ago today. He con-
tinued his work until Wednesday,
when he came to the Clifton House
violently sick. Medical attendance
was summoned, and he was found to
be suffering with intense pain in the
abdomen in the region of the appen-
dix, with temperature 1914 and pulse
135, His attending physician had him
taken at once to ST. Joseph's hospital,
but no operation was performed upon
him at this time, because his phi ysi-
clan felt that an operation in this
acute septic stage would take away
his only chance for life. Therefore he
received careful medical attention and
the best of nursing until Thursday of
last week, when the physicians felt
that they had carried him over the
acute septic stage sufficient to render
an operation warrantable.
An operation was performed by one
of our local physicians and DR.. Corey
of GAINESVILLE, and ruptured abscess
was thoroughly cleaned out and drain
ed, the appendix removed and the
patients life saved. This is now the
fourth day since the operation, and the
patient is making good recovery,
which will be good news to his many
friends.
Last week was a busy one at ST..
Joseph's hospital, as there were a
large number of major operations.
Patients are coming from long dis
tances to receive the careful nursing
and skillful surgical treatment which
st. Joseph g furnishes.

manual training, and a general i'm
preston that it would be we'll to make
beginning at it. He had a petition
signed by 1873 persons favoring manual
training. This had been circulated
among the business men by two pro-
mlnent ladies, and only three persons
had declined to sign. Other petitions
are being circulated. Mr.. Davis said
that he had letter from the Me-
chanics Arts high school at st. Paul
saying that tools and benches had cost
it only 1885,.
Mr. Fletcher asked whether the board
would favor cutting off the ologies
and other fashionable studies if man
ual training was introduced. He pre-
ferred common, practical studies. If
the board was to retain the fashionable
education and add the manual train
ing it would have heavy machine.
Manual training ought to be learned
at home. If the parents are poor, the
children are required to do something
at home, but if they are rich the
children can go to the play school.
President Davis said that manual
training is designed for the poor class
more than any other. Schools are bet
ter off without some of the higher
subjects, which properly belong to the
colleges. There is nothing of more
practical value than manual training.
Mr.. Fletcher said that he would IA
vor it if the board would unload some
of the higher subjects. This is poor
community compared with other
cities, and cannot carry everything on
a 81, 600, 900 assessment.
On motion of Mr.. Davies, the old
committee on manual training was re-
appointed.
The board adjourned.

BISHOP WHIPPLE.
Dies at His Home in FaribauIt
This Morning.
After Weeks IllDess.---Has Been Bis.
hop of Minnesota Since the
Year 1859.

Word was received here Monday morn
ing that Bishop II. B. Whipple, who
has been seriously i'll at his home in
Faribault, died this morning at
O'Clock. The bishop was taken ill
about week ago with a severe attack
OF angina pectoris, but seemed to re-
cover after the first few days illness
Last night, however, he was taken
suddenly worse, and died this morn
ing, as above stated
Henry Benjamin Whipple, D. D.,
LII. D., has been bishop of the Epis-
copal church in Minnesota since 1859,
having been consecrated bishop on
October 18th of that year. Before that
he was rector of church in Chicago,
working chiefly among the laboring
classes. He was born in Adams, N.
Y, on Feb. 10, 1928 He was or
dained in 1850 and was rector of Zion
church in Rome before going to Chi
cago. He was one of the foremost in
the work of evangelizing the Indians,
and founded and built the Seabury di-
vinity school, the Shattuck military
academy and st. Mary's hall at Fa ri
bault. The degree of D. D. was con-
ferred upon him by Racine college at
the time he was made bishop, and af-
! forwards by the University of Durham,
England. His degree of L. L. D. came
from the University of Cambridge,
England
Bishop Whipple was most kindly
man and one of the most widely known
bishops in his church, loved and re-
spected by all who knew him, and his
death will be mourned not only by his
own churchmen but by thousands of
others throughout the northwest,
where he has worked so faithfully for
more than forty years.
DR.. Geo. H. Davis of this city left
this afternoon for Faribault, he being
the chairman of the standing COM
mittee Of the diocese, upon whose
shoulders the ecclesiastical work of the
church will fall until such time as
the late bishops successor is conse-
Grated. His successor will be the
Right Reverend S. G. Edsall, at pre-
sent missionary bishop of North Da-
kota, and who was recently elected
! bishop coadjutor for Minnesota. He
had not, however, resigned his official
connection with the North Dakota do
cese, but will probably do so at once.

FOUND OIL.
MaDkatO Capitalists May Yet Strike II
Rich.

Capt. ]. R. Beatty has returned
from northeastMississippi for ten days,
where he is engaged in sinking an oil
we'll for syndicate of Mankato men.
The indications were favorable for
oil at the point selected, and Albert
Theissen was sent on with we'll dig
ging apparatus. The we'll is now down
300 feet and some oil has been encoun-
tered, but not in paying quantities.
The outlook is so encouraging, how
ever, that some special we'll boring
machinery has been ordered from st.
Louis, and is expected every day, and
and the we'll will be sunk lower.
Capt. Beatty has been gone for six
months in the interest of the Man
kato capitalists. His discovery was
made in rather a malarial country,
but he has succeeded in preserving his
health. He prefers the bracing air of
Minnesota as place of residence.

MOST REMARKABLE OUTBURST
OF SYMPATHY IN GREAT
BRITAIN.
COURT GOES INTO MOURNING
Honors Paid to the Dead President
That Are Only Accorded Royal Per-
sonages-On the Continent the
American Churches Are Crowded
With Sympathetic Listeners and
Special Prayers Are Offered.

London, Sept. 16.-It would be al.
most impossible to record in detail the
remarkable outburst of sympathy in
Great Britain and her colonies over
the death of President Mckinley,
proofs Of which come hourly. Not
only has King Edward ordered the
! court to go into mourning for one
week, but wherever public meeting
| of any kind has been held or a public
man has mad occasion to speak, ex.
pressions of horror and sympathy
have been heard. In every place of
public worship Sunday from st. Paul's
| cathedral and Canterbury cathedral
down the preachers made special ref.
| erences to the terrible event, invoking
Gods blessing upon the United States
| and the American people. Craithie
church at Balmoral, whose bells had
never before been used except on &C.
casions of national interest, broke the
custom and announced the event to
the neighborhood.
MI. Choate and the staff of the
United States embassy, who again
had their hands very full, attended
service at st. Pauls cathedral in the
afternoon. There were many other
Americans in the congregation.
Canon Scott Holland made a touch.
ing allusion to the martyred president
and denounced the crime to which he
fell victim, characterizing it as "a
crime whose tragic significance lies
in its occurrence in the New World
Many members of the diplomatic
corps and constant stream of Wis
itors inscribed their names at the EN-,
bassy. Messages of sympathy were
received from Earl Cadogan, the lord
} lieutenant of Ireland; Sir William
Vernon Harcourt, the Duke Of Aber-
corn, the Maharajah of Jodhpore, Mr..
Austin, the poet laureate, and many
other prominent men.
Given Royal Honors.
In accordance with a special army
order the guards at st. James palace
and at all other points where guard
was mounted throughout the United
Kingdom honors were rendered Sat
urday to the memory Of President Nc
Kinley such as are usually accorded
only on the death of royal personages.
The troops wore crepe and the bands
played dirges. Funeral marches were
played in every church in the king
dom. The morning papers again ap-
pear with heavily loaded borders and
are almost entirely devoted to Mr..
McAinley's death. No such extended
tributes of sympathy and respect ever
marked the death of any person but
British sovereign. They certainly
would not, have been called out by
the death of any continental ruler.
In addition to an almost endless
succession of dispatches describing
the final events and filling many col
umns, several pages of each journal
are given up to descriptions of the
sympathy evoked at home and abroad,
to extracts from sermons, speeches
and editorials, and to extended sketch
es of the careers of both Mr.. McKin-
ley and Mr.. Roosevelt, together with
"reminiscences, mostly accompanied
by portraits

BOIL ALL DRINKING WATER.

There are at present about a dozen
cases of typhoid fever in the city and
we are asked by City Health Officer
Hielscher to request that those who are
not connected with the city water sys-
tenn boil their drinking water, as it
has been found on Investigation that
all cases which have developed are
where city water is not used. DR..
Hielscher also states that there are at
present no cases of scarlet fever in the
city, and that no new cases of diph-
liberia have developed, and those in
hand are doing nicely.
