RUINED by generosity, which prompt
cd MIN to give away thousands of acres
OF land, Otto Faust. who came to Chi
easo recently, has been taken to Dun
ming, mental wreck.
Last month he was worth $4,000 in
farm property at Valley City, N. D.
"A jury in the detention hospital, be-
fore whom the white-haired man vain
~ struggled in his shackles, while a
witness told of the prisoners religious
mania, declared him insane.
Golden Rule" Faust was the name
he went by in the North Dakota coun-
try around Valley City. For nine years
ne has made practice of selling one.
tenth of his vast acres and giving the
money to the poor in tithes.
He professed no religion. None of
the creeds of the various denomination
al churches suited him. So he built a
church at his own expense in Valley
City, and any one who chooses may go
there and preach. The eccentric build
err of this unique place of worship said
he did not like the way the modern
churches diverged from the teachings
of the Bible, and so he intended that
his toWnspeople should have church
that would meet his views.
-Four weeks ago Golden Rule" Faust
decided that it was right for him to
give away nine-tenths of his wealth
every year, instead of one-tenth, and,
accordingly he disposed of nearly all of
1t, leaving himself very little.
1t was a strange story that was told
in the insane court by S. B. Vallandig-
ham, one of the foremost business men
of Valley City, N. D. When Otto Faust
was taken into custody, because of his
violent actions, he asked that Mr.. VAL
landigham be notified. The latter came.
The veil was drawn from the character
of the strange prisoner, of whom the
police had been able to learn only that
he came to Chicago last week with $60
in his pocket.
1t was business in Chicago in connec-
ton the church which he built. it is
said, which induced the Dakotan 10
visit Chicago
Leaving his home on Thursday last,
he came to Chicago without telling his
relatives or friends where he was 60
ing. The church is heated by fur
mace and lighted by electricity, and Is
provided with other modern improve
ments. He maintained the church, and
personally bore all expenses. 1t was In
connection with buying some medals
for this church that he came to Chica-
go.
''NIr. Faust came to Valley City TWEEN
ty-three years ago, from Sweden" said
Mr.. Vallandigham, land he has been
prominent in school affairs and has
held several school offices in the town
ship where he lives. He has wife and
eight Children
At one time Mr.. Vallandigham was
county clerk of Barnes county, where
Valley City is located, and he said that
during his term of office Mr.. Faust re-
deemed hundreds of pieces of property
held for mortgages and taxes, for poor
men, and made presents of the land to
the disconsolate owners, expecting and
asking nothing in return.
Faust will be taken back to North
Dakota, and probably assigned to the
jamestown hospital for the insane.

Madison, Wis, July 19.-The Repub-

In convention last night after NOM
mating the following ticket:
Governor, Robert NJ. La Toilette of
Madison, renominated; lieutenant gov
ernor, James o. Davidson of Soldiers

Robert M. La Toilette was again
| chosen to head the Republican state
ticket of Wisconsin, receiving the NOM
ination over John NJ Whitehead by an
overwhelming majority. With two ex-
ceptions the ticket as a whole went
through as figured out in advance.
These were the nominations for state
treasurer and railroad commissioner.
John Kempf of Milwaukee won out in
the contest for state treasurer by aid
of the stalwart faction, who switched
| their votes before the ballot closed.
| This was the
Greatest Surprise
sprung in the convention, as Joseph G.
End of Sheboygan was looked upon
as sure of the nomination. However,
when the switching commenced it con-
tinued until kempf had a big lead and
finally landed the nomination by unanf-
nous vote. John Thomas of Chippewa
Falls landed the nomination for rail-
road commissioner over Jonas Sven
holt, the slate candidate in similar
way. Perhaps the most exciting con-
test of the day was for the place on the
ticket for superintendent Of public in
struction between Carey and Harvey.
Numerous candidates made the work
of the convention slow.
Gov. La Toilette was given a great
ovation upon being escorted to the con-
vention hall after being notified of his
nomination. The delegates arose en-
masse when the governor made his APP
pearance and cheered vociferously. He
electrified the delegates and visitors in
the delivery of his speech of accept
ance, the feature of which was sting
| ing rebuke to those of the party who
failed to support the principles laid
down in the last platform. He also
warned the members of the party
against supporting any candidate as
piring to place in the Legislature who
would not agree to stand by the plat
form,

Chicago, July 10. A phenomenon
Known to Geneva and other Swiss lakes
as "setche" has made it's appearance
en- Lake Michigan. In a queer convul-
sion the lake sent big wave landmarks
and residents along the shore suddenly
found the water tapping at their door
steps. All along the lake front the
waves swept up against breakwaters
or over the beach. Steamers were
tossed about at their docks, smaller
craft were thrown on the shore, boats
were broken and in several instances
less OF life was narrowly averted. At
the weather bureau the barometer indi-
Gated sudden high pressure followed
by an equally sudden drop. A wave of
heavy atmospheric pressure passed
over the city, and as it struck the lake,
moving from west to east, the water
was pushed back. With the pressure
released the waves came rushing back
and dashed up over the land and then
receded to the normal water line.
