DR.. BUELER, Of Chicago, another

frying pan is the cause Of nearly all

blamed for the remainder. 1t has
long been remarked that the way to
mans soul is through his stomach,
and 1t has been quite as amply shown
that not only health and good nature
are dependen; upon what man eats
and how il is cooked, but that life
itself is in great measure affected
by cleanliness, and it has been dis
covered that death may Turk in as
common an adjunct as the dish-cloth.
SO the learned professor has not dis

merely a menace TO comfort and

Elder, Crow Wing county and A. Il.
Reed. of Mcleod county, were Tues
day named by Gov. johnson as a Lake

agitation for canal from the head of
the lakes to the Mississippi river,
following the recommendation of the
last legislature in the adoption of a
series of resolutions. There is no
salary attached.

Reed is the man who got the resolu-

wants the canal to connect with the
Upper Mississippi instead of the st.

WIIHSTOOD a SHOCK OF 300
VOLTS.

j.. r. Collar, lineman in the EN-.
ploy Of the Public Service company,
at st. Cloud. experienced very
narrow escape from death Friday
afternoon, when he received a charge
of $500 volts while working on con.
nection. He was leaning against q
wire guy which was grounded to a
tree, when accidentally he placed his
hand upon a bare spot on the wire and
received the full charge Of $500 volts,
the Rrouded guy completing the
circuit
Mr.. Collar at once threw up his
hands and tell back unconscious
against the wires. Clarence Marvin,
who was working with him, but at
that moment was on the ground, at
once perceived the danger and climb
ing up the pole supported him from
the wires. He called for assistance
and had pitcher Of water raised to
him, which he poured over the un-
conscious mans head. This some.
what revived him and, with the
assistance of Jack Cotton, Mr.. Marvin
lowered him to the ground with a
rope.
The shocked man was Immediately
taken to his home on Eighth avenue
south. He recovered consciousness IN
half an hour and is much improved
today. Mr.. Collar was badly burned
on his left side below the heart, and
recelved a slight burn on his hand
Outside of his burns Mr.. Collar will
probably be none the worse for his
narrow escape.
