BIxBY FOR SENATOR.
Jermane Says He May Cut into Game
In Oklahoma.


w. W. Jermane telegraphs The Min
neapolis Journal that: ct is believed
that Tams Bixby may be a prom
inent figure in the race for the United
States senate from the new state of
Oklahoma. He is one of the best known
and Hmost prominent men in that Sec
tion and, from many points of view,
stands head and shoulders above any
other man there who is available for
senatorial purposes.
I, 1T is believed one senator will be
conceded to the Indian Territory Sec
tion and the other to the Oklahoma Sec
ton. Bixby would be in line for the
former, provided he cares to relinquish
citizenship in Minnesota and go after
this prize.
Clarence B. Douglas, editor of the
Muskogee Phoenix, will also be promi-
nent in the senatorial game. He has
been in the public eye for several years,
taking leading part in several mat
tiers leading up to statehood. 1t is like.
ly that Dennis Flynn, formerly delegate
in congress will be senator from the
Oklahoma end of the new state"

played and nice refreshments served.
The revival services which were to
have been held here in the school house
and conducted by Rev. Stephens of
North Mankato, have been postponed on
account of sickness in the neighbor-
hood.
The passing of Mr.. and Mrs. Evan
Lewis is greatly to be regretted by this
community, where they have lived Sc
long, and in which they were loved and
respected by all.
Mrs. Lucy Leavitt has been ailing
lately.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rob Hynson and Master
Floyd have been seriously ill with la

Young Mans Sad Plight.

A sad story comes from the village of
Cleveland and the authorities of that
town were here Tuesday making in
quiries as the the best methods to pur-
sue in the premises. 1t seems that a
young man by the name of Harold, is
partially demented and in fact was
never of sound mind. He had been driv-
en- from home and having nc place to
stay or friends to care for him, took
refuge in barn last Monday night and
his feet were badly frozen. He was
found Tuesday morning and taken in
charge by the village authorities until
some disposition could be made of him.
Application will be made for his admit
lance to the state school for feeble
minded at Faribault. His case is in
deed sad one, and it seems that steps
should have been taken long ago to
place him in some institution where he
would be cared for.-Le Sueur Center

Story of a Strange Physician
Who Was There.
Called the Woman With Him
aa His Sister.
The Fellow Disappeared Sud.
denly in Spring Time.

Red Wing, Mimi, Feb. l0.-That
.Iohnann Hook, the alleged modern Blue
beard of Chicago, with woman and two
children, spent the winter of 1897 in
Red Wing, is the opinion of number
of citizens that have seen pictures of the
man in newspapers, Henry Schnlenburg
who occupied part of the house in which
the man lived, is positive that the latter
was Hook.
In the fall of 1897 properous-appear-
ing stranger, who wore gold spectacles
and full beard, and who was accom-.
panied by woman and two children,
rented part of private house in Red
Wing, intending he said, to spend the
winter.
DIR. Hoff was the name given by the
man. The woman, he explained, was his
sister, "Mrs. Hegemann," whom be-
cause her husband abused her, he had
invited to live with him. He posed as a
graduate of Berlin university and a ply
stefan of high standing. He spent quite
as much time away from the city as he
did at his home. His absence, he said
was due to his required attendance at
medical conventions and in consultations.
He seldom remained in the city more
than q few days at time, and then
would be absent for similar period.
He did not attempt to practice medicine
here.
In the spring according to the current
story a child was born to the woman
calling herself Mrs. Hegemann. Soon
DIR. Hoff disappeared and did not return.
The woman seemed crazed by his alb
sence, and, arming herself with re.
volver, she acted so strangely that
neighbors were obliged to calm her.
Within short time after this incident,
an elderly man presumed to be her faith
er, came to the Hoff home and when he
left was accompanied from the city by
the woman and her children.

FOR SUMMER WORK.
Normal Training Schools to Be En-
5a,,o, couraged by the Legislature.

5ano, courased by the Legislature.
Normal schools are authorized to hold
summer terms, and an appropriation of
$4,000 is made to cover expenses, in a
bill introduced Yesterday by Senator H.
II, Witherstine of Rochester. The meas
nre is somewhat similar to one intro
dnced by Senator Witherstine two years
ago.
A new provision stipulates that no
part of the annual appropriation for reg
ular summers shall be used to cover the
expenses of the summer terms at the
normal schools. The bill also provides
that students shall receive credit on the
regular normal course for the work they
do, during the summer terms. The bill
was referred to the committee on edu-
cation.
Representative NJ. L. Fosseen of Min
neapolis introduced the same bill in the
house.

plains that lie to the north of Moscow
Karl Steinmetz had written piteous de-

He had conceived the absurd idea Of
benefiting his fellow beings and of
turning into that mistaken channel the
surplus wealth that was his.
But Paul Howard Alexis had the
good fortune to be rich out Of England,
