st. Paul, Nov. l4.-At the last
meeting of the state live stock and
sanitary board, regulation govern
ing tuberculosis in dairy cattle was
passed. 1t provides that all cattle
which show tuberculosis symptoms
must be quarantined and the entire
herd tested with tuberculin within
thirty days. Also, that when cattle
have been inspected and found to be
free from tuberculosis, the owner shall
not introduce into the herd any cattle
which have not been inspected and
found to be free from tuberculosis.
The regulation further provides that
all barns must be disinfected and
whitewashed after diseased cattle

A Thought.

A childish good time does not con-
sist in never being punished. No, in
ded, there are times when even the
best children just like grown-up peo-
pie, need the strongest kind of dis
cipline. But the thing it not to be
scolding and nagging at them all the
time, making them cross and irri-
table, and developing in them nervous
and ugly dispositions which will cling
to them all through their lives.-Home
Chat.

The crop movement this year pre-
scented features extraordinary even
before the development of the cur
rency scarcity. There were high prices
for grain. Thus the INCREASE in the
movement of 3,2Ol,SOO bushels this
year, the calling for more money, was
but secondary, the principal effect
being found in the high prices for the
entire 1882, 800 bushels received,
notably so in barley, of which TO-
SS2,26O bushels moved into Minneapo-
lis, compared with only 3,44S,95O
bushels a year ago.
This, while making the farmers and
the whole northwest prosperous, was
using up much cash. When New
York shut off cash remittances the
Twin City bankers had to do the
same.
Duluth is now in much better con-
dition, and is sending grain down the
lakes. Duluth has handled l5,S00,00O
bushels against 2l,ll3,OOO a year ago.
and, like Minneapolis, is behind in
wheat receipts but over in high-priced
coarse grains that have called for the
use of much money.

st. Paul, Nov. l5-Gus Carlson, a
cook, died last evening, about six
o'clock, as he was being carried down
stairs from his rooming place at so
East Seventh street, to the police am
bulance, which was waiting to carry
him to the city hospital. Pneumonia
is supposed to have caused his death,
but an autopsy will be held at the
morgue to determine the cause.
Carlson was thirty years of age and
is supposed to have been a widower
and to have relatives in Wisconsin.

Statement From Dr. Bomberger.
This afternoon DR.. Frank j. Bonn.
berger, who made an examination of
Wheeler's body, furnished The Free
Press with the following statement:
There was stab wound on the
right side of the neck, ri git under the
angle of the jaw. There were three
stabs on this side about an inch deep
side of the neck. This stab was an
inch deep. neither stab touched the
jugular.
There are six wounds over the heart
area. Four of these just penetrated
the skin and the other two are
little deeper, but do not penetrate
the chest cavity. One wound on the
right arm just where the vein crosses
the elbow. Four cuts on the left arm
between the elbow and the wrist. Two
cuts on the right wrist, but neither
penetrates the skin. His lungs were
half filled with water, which is posi-
tive evidence that Wheeler was alive
when he entered the stream"
DR.. Bomberger is of the opinion
that Wheeler committed suicide. This
opinion is growing among the people
of Mapleton and i'll the neighborhood
of Sterling.
A rope was found south of Wheeler's
corn crib and right on the route which
leads to the river. 1t is quite likely
that Wheeler attempted to hang him
Sill with this rope, but failing in this
went on to the river.
Hold to Murder Theory.
r. W.. Hart and wife and DIR. Stand
ish and wife went to Sterling yester-
day and visited the Wheeler house
This house was visited during the day
by hundreds of people from Mapleton
and the country surrounding. They
found that the people living near the
w IJletIC diC VI IiC
opinion that murder was commit
ted. Things that point to suicide, they
say were purposely done by the muir
derer for the purpose of misleading
the public into thinking that it was
a case of suicide.
A number of finger marks are to
be seen in the house and some very
clear ones on the rear sliding door
that encloses the space between the
two parts of the corn crib. These
appear to be blood marks, and were
made by small hand, as small as
4 woman's. This may be explained
by the fact that when the buildings
were painted year ago it was done
by boy, and he may have opened
the door when his hand was covered
with red paint.
1t could be readily ascertained
whether the finger and hand marks in
the house were made by Wheeler's
hand, as every hand in the world is
sa,~ TO possess an individuality.
Yesterday it was discovered that
one of the side rails of the bed was
blood stained, which shows that
Wheeler bled freely in bed before he
arose He probably lay in bed for
some time, waiting for the death that
refused to come, and when the morn
ing light began to break he prob
ably set fire to his bloody bed and
staggered down the stairway and out
into the open air, where he was re-
freshed and strengthened by the cold
air, and was able to make his way
to the river to finish the job. He
must have had considerable strength
left, as he had to cross high and
closely constructed barbed wire fence,
yet no blood has been found along
this.
