in the impartial enforcement Of the
prohibitory law, and are opposed
to resubmission or any measure
tending to a repeal Of the law,
which has done 50 much to promote
the moral and material welfare of
the people Of our state.''
1t may be observed, however,
that the republican state conven-
tion in Minnesota didn't indorse
prohibition or county option or any
thing else of that nature and this
only shows that the republicans Of
Maine are not like the republicans
of Minnesota. -Montevideo Leader.

Sioux City, June S.-Chattering in
coherently, playing with children's
toys and CARRIED in little girls knee
dress, Christian Gelt, 4O-year- old
man, was found by members of the
insanity commission in a South Jen-
nfngs street house imprisoned in wire
cage. which has been his home for
more than thirty five years.
Pitiable in the extreme and most un-
believable is the case of this Nor
wegian, the history of which is excit-
ing the interest of not only the in
sanity commissioners, but every ply
stefan in the city.
Gelts appearance is uncanny.
Dwarfed, and with muscle and tissue
shrivelled up from lack of exercise,
with complexion yellow from lack of
out door air, the man bears resem-
blance to some strange animal rather
than to a human being.
All of his life he has been cared for
by his brother, Ole Gelt, a working
man. The brother made the informa-
ton against him, charging insanity.
All his life Gelt has been without
reason. To keep him from trouble
and danger those who cared for him
made a cage of the wire netting and
there, in a room of the house, he has
lived. He has been clothed in short
dress, the skirts coming only to his
knees. His days have been spent with
toys and playthings such as are used
to please the children.
With these things he has been con-
tent to pass away his days. His mind
could grasp nothing larger. In his
little cage, clothed like child, he lived
for years. Cared for by his mother
and his brother the true conditions
have never reached the officers until
lately the mother became ill and was
taken to the hospital. The brother
stayed away from his work to care for
the poor unfortunate, but to live and
keep the family the brother found that
he must work and steps We're taken to
have the unfortunate member nf the
family taken care of by the state.
An examination made by physicians
resulted in their finding that Gelt was
not insane. They pronounced him
idiotic and recommended that he be
taken to the county poor farm. The
man is about 40 years old, wasted and
worn. He weighs about 100 pounds.

Of venue the attorneys for the alleged

ing the amount Of his bail bond re-

now likely that Mcdonnell will Sc

this summer. 1t is understood that
Attorney Springer of New Hampton,
who is now connected with the case in
the interests of the defendant, will be
instrumental in securing the bail bond
for Mcdonnell.
The change of venue was granted
on the grounds that a fair trial could
not be had in the district court in
this city on account of the prejudice
existing in this vicinity against the

mitted that public sentiment was
against Mcdonnell and did not oppose

Fort Dodge, June s.-A bill posters
war opened in Fort Dodge at an early
hour this morning, an effort being
made on the part of the Ringing
Bros circus to cover the available bill
board space in the city with their litho-
graphs, announcing the coming of their
aggregation in the city in August, and
thus inducing the people of the city to
withhold their patronage from the 10l
Ranch Wild West Show, which will
exhibit here on Thursday Of this week.
Special Agent Prot, of the Ringing
Bros circus was in the city the latter
ments for posting the advertising mat
ter of his aggregation, but altho he
worked in quiet manner, his object
in the city leaked out, and at an early
hour this morning, when his opposition
brigade arrived here, they found near
ly all of the bill boards of the city
covered with paper advertising the
Hagenbeck-W Wallace show, which will
be here the latter part of the month.
Under the rules of the Bill Posters
association, one circus has no right to
cover the advertising matter of anoth-
er, and if the opposition brigade of the
Ringing circus secures space in the
city, they will be compelled to erect
new bill boards.
1t is expected that the fight for space
between the exhibitions will be a spir-
tied one, and will be even more inter-
esting than that Of two years ago,
when Campbell Brothers circus and
the Hagenbeck Trained Animal exhibit
ton appeared here on the same day.
The parades were made at the same
hour, one passing down Central avenue
and back along First avenue south,
while the other passed down First ave-
nue. south and back to the show
grounds along Central avenue.

dangerously injured at the mine Sat-

with someone down in the mine, and
went to the first landing, distance
of some 220 feet from the bottom of
the shaft. He was leaning over an iron
guard rail which was placed at that
point for protection. while he con-
versed' with the man at the bottom
of the shaft. He did not notice the
cage coming down, and as there was
no one there to warn him, the bottom
of the cage struck him on top Of the
head, knocking him senseless and cut
ting two large gashes in the back of
his head. He hung on the guard rail.
until a miner who was passing by,
grabbed him just in time to save him
from falling to the bottom Of the
shaft.
After thorough examination. 1t was
found that his skull was not crushed,
as was first thought, but he Is In an
unconscious condition. Unless there is
a change for the better in a short time,
Mr.. Peckseen's chances for recovery
are hopeless.
