GAVE BODY TO SCIENCE.
Dr.. Elton 3. CroweIPs Remains Will
Be Probed BY Physicians.

Minneapolis, April l7.-Dr. Elton B.
Crowell, the Minneapolis physician who
died Monday night at his home, 2l2O
Fifth avenue south, left special re-
quest that his body be given to science.
The body will be given to DR.. Aldrich
for use in scientific purposes at the
university. DR.. Crowell was an ardent
student of medicine and his strange be-
quest was result of his desire to as
sist in every way i'll promoting scientific
study. He died as a result of Bright's
disease and heart failure. He was born
in 1869 in Cicero, n. y, and graduated
from the electric medical college of Gin
cinnati in 1895. After the post-mortem
examination by physicians and students
the body will be returned to his home
for the funeral, which will take place
on Thursday. 1t was partly due to the
many diseases he had himself suffered
that the physician gave his body to
science.

RESTS WITH. CITIZENS
Those Benefited BY Having Street
Carnival Asked to Contribute.

From Wednesdays Daily.
The committee having in charge the
arrangement for the carnival and Wood
man picnic, which it is desired to hold
in Mankato during the week beginning
June II, met at the office of d. G..
Davies last evening, and talked the mat
ter over, and decided that in view of
the great expense to which they were
going it would not be safe to close the
contract with the Parker Amusement
company unless at least a portion of the
expenses were provided for. With a
view to finding out what assistance
could be had, Walter Daniels was en-
ployed to call OH the citizens and ask for
subscriptions. 1t will require in the
neighborhood of $1,000 to carry out the
program as outlined by the committee.
1t is expected to make it one of the
biggest events that has ever taken place
in the city, and it is expected that it
will bring fifty to seventy-tive thousand
strangers to the city during the week.
1t is hoped that liberal response will
be received, especially from those who
will be directly benefited by the bringing
of crowds of strangers to the city.

county by Martin Madison of Kasota.
He has brought suits against Charles

Gated at Kasota. NIadisOn's wife APP
pealed to him to go home, and when he

leased his prisoner. Madison denies the
story told by the defendant and has i'll,
stituted the action, asking heavy dam
ages.

There seems to be a sigh of relief
among a great number of people when
