the bowel trouble first occurred FIVE
weeks ago, but refused to give in,
and went around as long as he was
able to. 1t was just three weeks ago
yesterday that he took to his bed, at
his residence, SIS North Fourth street.
Since then he had been delirious most
of the time. Two nurses, and doctors
and his faithful wife devoted them
selves to him, but in spite of every
thing that could be done he continued
to fail, strong in physique as he was.

was forty-four years of age April 70

was merged with the Others he con-
tinued with the International lSHar-
vester company but of late years had
been salesman for Scherer & Dacki
ms He" was we'll known throughout
the country tributary to Mankato in
this capacity, and there were few
farmers that did not know his CHEEKY
and rotnnd face and enjoy talking
with him. D!@9ts5" Ao@~ a 81: Jao ~

Professor G. A. Schulz.
Professor g. A. Schulz, principal of
the German Lutheran school at West
st. Paul, died Saturday morning of
typhoid fever, contracted, it is thought,
in Mankato while he was attending
the meeting of the German Lutheran
synod, that was in session week
or ten days during the latter part
of June. He went to Whitewater,
Wis.,, from here, and three weeks
later came down with the disease.
Several other members of the synod
who attended the session in Mankato
are reported very low with typhoid
fever, at their homes, and it is thought
that they acquired the disease while
in Mankato.
