the background As is usually the case
in such complications also, the history
of the fortune possesses strong elements
of romance, with the troublous times at
the close of Louis Napoleon's career and
the Franco-Prussian war as the main
features. q,
Mr.. Tausan Is manager for the Peavey
Elevator company at, Barlow, N. D. He
is a. claimant, through United States
Senators ~Hansbrough of North Dakota,
and Nelson of Minnesota for 40.00O,000
francs (about $4,000, OO0) from the French
government. -- -..-...
About the year 1920, one Laland, emil
grated from Norway and enlisted in the
French army. He served in Algeria and
Morocco, and in 1881, after having been
a general for some time, died in France,
leaving his vast fortune, by legacy, to
accumulate for forty years in care of
the French departm ent of state. Cen
eral Laland died. without immediate heirs,
never having married. ~. -"
In 1871 when, according to the legacy
! the money should have been turned over
to the heirs in Norway, France was in the
thrOes of the Franco-Prussian war, and
the Laland fortune was undoubtedly used
in paying the war indemnity to Germany
In the meanwhile park in Paris has
been named after General Laland.
| For some time the heirs to the Laland
| estate, who reside in Norway, have tried
| unsuccessfully to collect this claim. In
! this way some thousands of crowns have
been expended Mr.. Tausan is at present
| chief heir and 1t is to be seen whether
! the United States government will meet
with better success than the Norwegian
lawyers. .t III 49,. >. -

Last week the remains of the unfor-

That they were not sooner discovered is
attributable to the dense underground,

gress, Jennie Steer. who administered
poison In a glass Of lemonade to LIZ

John Dolan, from the effects Of which
she died, was lynched by an Infatuated
mob at shutdown Saturday night The

ton, near the spot where the woman's
crime was committed. Jennie Steer
was stubborn to the last In denying
her crime. 1t Is claimed the negress
fed from the Dolan household as soon
as she discovered that her crime was
known. She was pursued by a posse,
who found her crouehing In hayloft.
She refused to come out and had to be
dragged from the place. When asked
why she had poisoned Miss Dolan the
negress Indignantly denied the COM
mission of the crime. She was taken
to the Dolan homestead and fully
identified as the woman who had
placed the poison In the lemonade.
The mob then took her to a nearby
tree, placed rope around her heck
and again asked her to confess. She
was stubborn to the last, however, and
was strung up without making any
admissions While the body was
dangling in mid-air several bullets
were fred into 1t by the enraged citi-
zens.
The poisoning Of Miss Dolan created
intense excitement In the neighbor-
hood Of the crime. The victim OF pol
son was beautiful young white girl.

DID HE TRY TO BRIDE HIM ?

ON His Desk from Contractor Do

Washington, July 2S.-The secretary

ment box of cigars and 500, which
was received from the department OF
Texas. It appears that Col. Glenn,
chief Quartermaster Of the department.
found the box Of cigars on his desk
and, upon opening II, discovered It was
from contractor who was doing some
work under the Quartermaster's super
vision. In the box was the money.
The colonel was very indignant and
referred the matter TO Gen. Fred
Grant, commanding the department
The contractor acknowledged sending
the cigars by q messenger boy, but
said he did not know anything about
the money. Gen. Grant thought that
under such circumstances nothing
could be done by prosecuting the man
for attempted bribery and sent the
cigars and the money to the war de-
partment From the war department
they were sent to the treasury, where
all unclaimed funds are sent The

INCREASE OF APPENDICITIS
There Are . Hundred Cases q Year
for the Active surgeon--sur-
gery's suieide.

The subject has few rivals In TIE
surgical field, and takes rank to-day
with typhoid, pneumonia and rheu-
matism in medical thought. Surely,
when the active surgeon Of to-day can
number 100 operations for diseased
appendices yearly--and there are Q
dozen such men in this city and In
other cities in the same proportion
we begin to grasp the Importance OF
the subject and its menace to the
community, says an address by DR..
Robert Able before the New York
Academy of Medicine.
The problems Of surgery to-day are
fewer than they were rs years ago,
although there Is vastly more surgical
work done. This period has seen great
changes in the class Of cases that fall
into the hands of the operator. Then,
strangulated hernias were extremely
common; to-day, owing to the vast
number Of radical cures, they are COM
paratively rare. Pyaemic joints and
assesses were then the daily care OF
the surgeon; to-day they constitute
a small proportion Of active work.
Abscess Of the kidney, so fatal then, is
now relatively infrequent, owing to
care in preventing cystitis with as
cending infection, due to the use OF
impure catheters. Aneurisms and
tertiary bone LESSONS are comparative
ly rare, owing to better understand
ing of primary and secondary diseases.
tuberculosis LESSONS seem to me, also,
to be much less common, owing to
more careful isolation of the infected
subjects, better house sanitation, and
milk and food control. In fact, 1t
would seem that the statement were
almost true, that no profession is do
ing as much as ours to end its own
existence. Yet, as soon as one problem
is put upon the list as better under
stood, another comes up for solution.
The public continues to ask the
physician what was appendicitis for
merly, and he answers: "Probably 1t
passed under the description Of in
fammation Of the bowels or peri
tonitis.'" It 10 true that less than q
generation ago numberless people, in
the course OF summer travel were
stricken with so-called Inflammation
of the bowel or peritonitis and died.
Now, we hear of no one so reported,
but It is said, she had an attack Of
appendicitis, was beyond the reach Of
q surgeon and died." or "so-and-so had
an attack Of appendicitis, was oper-
ated upon and recovered" Hospital
statistics show the same changes of
tabulated diseases. 1t il merely a new
name, not new disease.
