HAD PREMONITION
OF FAILING MIND
Lunn, Who Committed Suicide,
Left Strange Document
Written In 1893

Special to The Globe
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Dec. Thames
T. Lunn, the Sioux Falls man who COM
mitted suicide a few days ago in a san
itarium at Flint, Mich, must have had a
premonition that he would lose his mind,
to judge by document which is on file in
the Office of County Judge Bailey in this
city. Lunn was suffering from a mental
malady and was taken to the Michigan
sanitarium for treatment The document
referred to was dated Sept. 5, 1898, and
was signed by Mr. Lunn. 1t requests that
in the event that he should at any time
be declared non compos mentis his wife
or one of his children be appointed as his
guardian.
The petition would indicate that long
ago Mr.. Lunn dreaded failure of his
mental powers. The petition was kept
on file and later the county judge needed
it in the appointment of Mrs. Lunn as
guardian for her husband. Lunn was a
brother of Joseph Lunn, president of the
Farmers Bank of Alexandria, S. d., who
on the morning of Aug. II last also COM
mitted suicide with a shotgun.

Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe
NEW ULM, Mimi, Dec. 17.-Dr.
George r. Koch was arraigned in court
today. The Indictment charging him
with murder in the first degree for
killing DIR. L. A. Gebhard, was read to
him by Gen. H. Nv. Childs. He was
given copy of the indictment and
after glancing at 1t passed it over to
his attorney. George w. Somervilie.
When the question was put to him,
Guilty or not guilty?" Judge Webber
informed him he need not answer, as
he could plead Monday. AT that time
the prosecution will undoubtedly ask
for more time in which to prepare for
one of the most interesting and sensa-
tional murder trials ever before court
in the Northwest. DR.. Koch Looked
somewhat pale, but otherwise did not
show signs of a breakdown, and is.
keeping his composure under trying
conditions.
It has not been learned what defense
will be made, but it is expected that
DR.. Kochs attorneys will attempt to
convince the jury that he was at home
when the murder was committed. The
state, however, asserts that Kocll's
alibi will not stand the test, as it
claims to have conclusive evidence to
the contrary.
The attempt of Attorney H. N. Som
sen, brother-in-law of DR.. Koch, to in
volve Fritz Hauert former tenant on
a farm three miles south of the city,
has not been successful. The latter
part of October his wife left him on
account of domestic difficulties and on
Sunday, Nov. 6. he left his home and
has not been seen since.
Dan Williams, nearby farmer,
claims that the hammer with which DR..
Gebhard was killed was seen by him
in Hauert's possession when he was a
tenant. His story is discredited, as the
hammer belonging to- Hauert had no.

hammer used by the murderer had

While driving home Friday night, Christ
Leibel, a farmer living north of the city,
was held up and robbed by three men
who pounded him to insensibility and left
him tied in the box of his wagon. The
foOtpadS succeeded in escaping with be-
tween $35 and $40.
Leibel had disposed of load of Christ
mas trees and had sold some poultry
in the city and was driving along Rice
street when he was stopped about
o'clock near the 500 Line crossing.
Thieves Had Wagon
The thieves had wagon in which one
man was riding. Two men were walking
and they aecosted Leibel.
"Hello, farmeri Where are you going?'
they said and while one man held Lei
bels horse the others sprang into the
overpowered. The thieves, not content
with holding him. knocked him uncon-
scious with blow on the head.
After taking what money he had in
his possession they tied his hands and
drove away in their wagon.
Horse as Rescuer
When Leibel recovered consciousness
he found himself bound and unable to
rise. His horse was walking slowly and
soon he saw that the animal was ap-
preaching a house. He then cried loudly
for help, and a farmer, John Wild, came
out and found him.
The horse had turned down byway
which was used as short cut to Leibel's
home and had passed branch road with
out guidance.
Leibels hands were united by Wild and
after recovering slightly from the effects
of the treatment he had received he pro-
ceeded to his home. Leibel said he thought
the men who held him up came from Rice
Lake.

LONDON, Dec. 17.-Mrs. Elinor
Close, of Eaton square, has devised a
scheme for bringing up England's pau
per children in the bright and healthy
surroundings of colonial farms instead
of in gloomy workhouses. Mrs. Close
today thus explained her proposal:
MY suggestion is that boards of
guardians should be empowered to pur-
chase small farms of from zoo to 800
acres in Canada. From fifteen to TWEEN
ty children would be sent to each farm.
Enormous sums are being spent on
pauper children in this country at
present. Every 200 children cost e54,-
0OQ, an average of e275 per head. A
building in Canada would cost only
$1,000, compared with $4,000 in Eng
land. A practical farmer, two women
and two servants would be in charge
of each home"

somewhat their character. Phe
@ industrial feature becomes no
less, but the social feature be-
comes more and more with each sue
ceeding show. By this time majority
of the grown people of the land have
seen worlds fairs. They have looked
upon machinery, textile fabrics. milli-
merry, patent churns, windmills and
leather goods. Until since the Chicago
worlds fair, however, the idea of Civ

we have learned. At St. Louis the So

With the increasing prominence of
the social side of expositions woman

tant part in their arrangements. Then,
too, at St Louis traditional southern
hospitality will invest this entertain
ing of visitors with especial gracious
ness and liberality.
Mrs. Rolla Wells. wife of the mayor

larged and remodeled for the accom-
mediation of guests. Not many days

BEAUTY'S NURSES.

Don't forget that the nurses of a wo-
mans beauty are seven-fresh air, sun
shine, warmth. rest, sleep. food and
whatever stirs the blood. be it exer-
else or enthusiasm.
Don't neglect sleep. You can sleep
yourself into good looks. A warm bath
and a long nap viii make any woman
more attractive and lift years from her
shoulders.
Don't eat when tired and don't work
when tired 1t is a mistake to work
when not in fit condition; bad for the
work and worse for you.
Don't miss your beauty Sleep" 1t
is mistake to go to bed late at night
rise at daybreak and imagine that ev
cry hour taken from sleep is an hour
gained.
Don't give unnecessary time to GER
tain established routine for homework
when it could be much. more prohtably
spent in rest and recreation.
Don't sit down to table as soon as
you come in from work or a round of
social duties. Lie down or sit down
for ten minutes. waiting until you can
partake of your dinner with the phys
ical machinery rested and refreshed.
Don't battle in hard water. Soften it
with a little powdered borax or a hand
full of oatmeal.
Don't attempt to remove dust from
the face with cold water. Give the face
a warm bath with soap and then rinse
thoroughly with clear, tepid or cold
water.
Don't rub the face with too coarse a
towel. Treat it as you would the finest
porcelain, tenderly and delicately.
Don't be afraid of sunshine and fresh
air. They offer you bloom and color.
Don't forget that hearty laughter is
a source of relaxation. So are all high
trust and love.
Don't forget that beauty is a power.
There is nothing more potent. 1t is to
a woman what capital is to a merchant.
Its absence is a misfortune; its culture
wise and proper.
