TWO CAREERS.
BY JENNIE BErrs HARTsw1cK.

And she who lies go whitley stin,
Untouched of joy, unvexed of i'll,
Has she done aught? Why, surely, no;
The records of her living show
No laurels won, no glory gained,
No effort crowned, no height attained;
In life she championed no cause;
One little households narrow scope
Hold all her heart and all her hope.
Too lowly she for fame's high dome,
she made home.

The darkened mansion where she liesf
What mas she done that, far and wide,

To one another, "She is dead?'
Why should the lips of strangers ralse
To her monument of praisey
Ah, il was hers to conquer lame.

The domestic relations of Mr.. and

The domestic relations of Mr.. and
Mrs. Froelich have been very happy.
Mr.. Froelich is we'll off financially,
and every request of Mrs. Froelich
was gladly and quickly granted.
She was in good health. Insanity
does not run in the family. All
these things make the suicide a
mystery, the deceased leaving no
explanation of the act. which must
have been committed under strain
of temporary mental ALTERATION.
LATER.-It seems that Mrs. Froe-
Itch was worried oyer threats of
some boys to steal pet dog and
this brought about the dependency
which resulted in her taking her
own life.
The funeral was held Monday
from the Lutheran church in Sheri-
dan, of which the deceased was a
member, and the interment occurr-
ed in the cemetery there.

Demise Of the Noble. Lady and Mother
Thursday

Mrs. Angelina 0. Marvin Bald
win, wife OF Judge HAL D. Baldwin,
of this city, passed away ! at her
home in this city last Thursday
noon, after long siege with lung
trouble, one lung having previously
wasted way.
Mrs. Baldwin has been in poor
health for the past several years
and during most of that time has
been able to do but
very little work. For several days
prior to her demise she became con-
tinually weaker, although not re-
quired to remain in bed. Shortly
after three O'Clock Thursday morn
ing she was seized with sudden
chill, and awakening her husband,
the latter telephoned DR.. Corpron,
who realized that the end was near,
but remained with the patient until
life was no more.

PECULIAR SUICIDE.
Mrs. Herman FrOelich StrangleS Her
self Early Friday Morning.

Mrs. Herman Froelich, aged about
sixty-fve years, committed suicide
at her home in Watson S addition
some time after 5 clock last Friday
morning.
Mrs. Froelich was alone in the
house at the time the deed was COM
mitted, Mr.. Froelich having gone to
his farm in Sheridan on the Sunday
previous for the purpose of con-
Quoting farming operations. Mrs.
Froelich apparently arose at an
early hour, which was the custom
at the Froelich home, dressed her.
self and went to the barn, or shed,
fed the chickens, etc., and secured
a rope with which she returned to
the house. The deed must have
been committed shortly after
wards.
Mr.. Froelich returned from the
farm about six clock Friday even
ing. He went into the house from
the rear and found his wife's life
less form on the couch. She had a
rope about her neck, forming one
complete circle around the neck,
and ends tightly grasped in both
hands. The position was a sitting
one. Mrs. Froelich had evidently
strangled herself with the rope, the
skin about her neck having been
rubbed off by the working of the
rope.
Mr.. Froelich notified his neigh
bors at once, and they notified the
proper officials. The county, not
having coroner, Attorney Howard
requested Drs. Belt, Gibson and
Schlegel to make a thorough inves-
tigation of the case, and they all
gave it as their opinion that it was
one OF suicide.
A lamp about half full of oil was
standing on the table, but was not
burning. The chimney was on the
floor broken. Ugly rumors were
floating around for a few hours after
the body was found, but they were
absolutely without foundation.

The funeral was held from the

The funeral was held from the
Episcopal church, of which the de-

member, commencing at o'clock
Sunday afternoon, the Rev. Alexan-
der Coffin, rector of the church, Of
floating. The services were large
ly attended by old friends of the de-
ceased, while the floral tributes
were many and expressive of the
esteem in which the deceased was
held in the community in which she
has so long resided. The interment
occurred in the Baldwin plot in the
Redwood cemetery.
The deceased was nearly " years
old, having been born at Lysander,
Onondagua county, New York, on
Dec. 6, 1926, Lysander also being
the early home of Judge Baldwin,
and where the two were married on
June Both, 1852. Coming to Mime
sofa several years later they settled
in Waseca, where they..remained I'M
til 1871, when they came to Red
wood Falls, where they have since
resided.

BURGLh RS AGAIN FIT WORK
Attempted TO Crack theaVault and Safe
of theiState Bank Of WabaSSO
Friday Morning.
The Burglar Alarm Started UplIts Music
as Soon as the Steel Plates Were
Touched.

An attempt was made to burglar
ize the State bank of Wabasso, the
stock Of which is3.controlledl by the
Gold-Stabeck banking system, on
Friday morning of last week. The
attempt was foiled by the alarm sys-
tenn OF the American Bank Protec-
ton company.
The burglars gained an entrance
into the bank building by partially
demolishing the rear door. After
getting inside they proceeded to
gain an entrace to the vault by drill
ing hole in the brick wall, and in
this they placed a charge of dyna-
mite or blasting powder, hoping not
only to tear open a sufficient en-
trance in the brick wall, but also to
tear open the steel lining of the
vault. Before touching off the
charge they placed alllarge blanket
over that side of the attacked vault,
evidently with the intention of dead
.ening the sound. The charge was
then set off, blowing a portion of
the brick wall from the vault, the
brick and the blanket being thrown
to the opposite side of the room.
But the tampering with the steel
aiming, the explosion bending it in
wards. set off all the gongs of the
American Bank Protection Co., and
the awful racket caused by these
gongs must have frightened the
burglars from the outset, as they
made no attempt to proceed further,
but left the room, and having pre-
viously stolen the team and carriage
from Leo Altermatt's barn, they
jumped into the latter and made

their escape, going to Lamberton,
leaving the team outside of that
town, and probably making their es-
cape by boarding the early morning
east-bound passenger train. The
team was found that morning, quite
badly jaded, and also sustaining in
juries from barb wire cuts.
The gongs inside and outside con-
tinued their ringing, and shortly
after five O'Clock, after Mr.. Alter
matt went to the barn to feed his
horses, and finding them gone he
went up town and heard the awful
racket. He aroused Messrs. New
house and Orth, officers of the in
stitution, and they went over to the
bank, only to discover the unsuc-
cessful attempt.
There is little doubt but that the
burglars hoped to blow a hole
through the vault with the first
charge, quickly enter and adjust the
machinery that would stop the ring
ing, and then proceed to work on
the interior safe.
There was about $1,000 in cur
rency in the safe inside of the vault
at the time.
The bank has offered reward OF
$500 for the arrest and conviction OF
the burglars.
