FRAUD IN LAND LOTTERY.
Government to Prosecute Fifteen for
Having Registered More than Once.

LIE Beau, Nov. 19.-The government
is about to begin the prosecution of at
least Is persons who are charged with
having registered more than once at
the recent land lottery. The charge
to be made is2perjury, and It is said
that the evidence In each case is con.
elusive. Evidence has been gathered
and arrests are expected to be made
at any time.
The rules governing land drawings
are very explicit. One forbids any
person registering more than once.
and plenty of warning was given that
any violation would be prosecuted.
The task of filing every one of the
$4,000 registrations has been complet.
ed, and each blank has been arranged
in it's alphabetical order with cross
indexes to designate the winners. It
was necessary to open every envelope
IN order to make comparisons and de-
tect fraud. In this manner the inves-
tlgators have discovered duplicate and
triplicate registrations. One instance
was detected where man had regis.
tered five times. and even then failed
to draw winning number. Four
cases were found where the applicant
has drawn two claims.

SCHWANDT'S ARIA CNED
FOUR INDICTED FOR LEpBETER
MURDER.
Widow, Hired Man and Mr.. and Mrs.
SchWandt Will Be Tried
In Two Weeks.

Mankato, Mimi, Nov. 19.-William
l.. Schwandt and his wife, Go:die
Schwandt, were arraigned on indict.
ments charging them with murder in
the first degree in connection with the
murder of H. ]. Ledbeter. They en-
tered pleas of not guilty, and asked
for an order of court admitting them
to bail.
The motion for bail is based on the
ground that proof is not evident or
the presumption great that they are
guilty of the offense charged. The
records of the preliminary examina-
tons of the different defendants are
pointed to in substantiation. They
have been out on bail, having been
held to the grand jury only as acces.
series.
This makes four persons charged
with Ledbeters murder, and the trials
are expected to begin inside of two
weeks.
Assistant Attorney General Peter
son was in the city to resist the mo-
ton to dismiss the indictment against
Frank Smith. This will be argued on
Saturday. The ground for the motion
is that w. r. Geddes, one of the states
attorneys, was witness before the
grand jury. Smith says Geddes was
his attorney before the latter was call.

CHOOSING a Vocation.

It Is very certain that no man Is fit
for everything; but It is almost Ger
tain, too, that there is scarcely any
one man who is not fit for something,
which something nature plainly points
out to him by giving him tendency and
propensity to 1t. look upon com
mon sense to be to the mind what
conscience is to the heart-the faith
full and constant monitor of what is
right or wrong. And am convinced
that no man commits either a crime or
a folly but against the manifest and
sensible representations of the one or
the other. Every man finds in himself
either from nature or education-for
they are hard to distinguish pc
culiar bent and disposition to some
particular character; and his strug.
Cling against it Is the fruitless and
endless labor Of Sisyphus. Let him
follow and cultivate that vocation; he
win succeed in It, and be considerable
in one way at least: whereas, II he
departs from It, he viii, at best, be in

KING CorroN's THRONE.

In al discussion regarding cotton
two facts are paramOunt--6rst that
cotton controls the world, second that
the nations that reap prodigal harvest
from the sale Of cotton goods depend
upon America for the raw supply.
The American people have begun to
realize the significance of the fact that
alien nations that never saw q cotton
plant have long since entered the king.
dom of cotton and now divide domin.
ion among themselves, excluding the
United States, where the cotton is
grown.
The contest among the powers today
IL for trade, and cotton in some form
is the chief commodity carried. 1t is
inconceivable that other nations can
90 on at the expense of America, win
ming trade triumphs with commodity
which they do not naturally possess.
which they cannot obtain in sufficient
quantities outside of the United States
and which they could not manufac-
ture at q profit but for the fact that
We sell the product near and at times
even below the cost of raising it.
An analysis of this trade in cotton
goods reveals that of our exports more
than. six million dollars worth con
sists of unbleached clothes, while Of
our imports more than twenty-five
million dollars worth consists of finer
fabrics, including embroideries, laces
and curtains.
Altogether the figures show that
We exported in the ten months ended
with October, 1908, twenty-five million
dollars worth Of the output of our cot.
ton mills the nations sold to US almost
100 per cent more than we sold them.
1t is a grotesque and almost unbe-
lievable item in the commerce Of this
age, that q resourceful nation like
America, the producer Of the worlds
cotton, should buy back two dollars
worth Of cotton goods for every dol.
lars worth it ships abroad. Now is

HANoMAN WAS ALSO SURGEON.
Until 100 Years Ago Executioners
Were Permitted to Practice.

f., Two or three centuries ago execu-
TONERS not infrequently performed
surgical operations, says the British
Medical Journal. This seems to have
been particularly the case in Denmark.
July "a, 1879, q license was issued by
Frederick II. to Anders Freimut, exc
cutioner of Copenhagen, granting him
the right to set bones and treat old
wounds; he was expressly forbidden
to NEEDLE with recent wounds. In 1909
it is recorded in the municipal
archives of Copenhagen that Gaspar,
the hangman, had received four rigs
dalers for the cure of two sick children
In the infirmary. In 1888 Christian Nv.
summoned the executiOner Of Gluck-
stadt In Holstein to examine the dis
eased foot of the crown prince. In a
letter addressed to Ole Worm. q lead
ing Danish physician of the day. Henry
Roster, physician-in-ordinary to the
king, complains bitterly of the slight
thus put upon him. He says that for
two whole months the hangman, who
is as 1T to treat the case as an ass
is to play the lyre," had the case in
hand and the doctor was not asked
his advice. Again, in 1851,
Christian v. gave fee of 200 rigs
dalers to the Copenhagen hangman
for curing the leg Of page. In 1892.
Bergen, an executioner in Norway, was
authorized by royal decree to practice
surgery.
Even up to the early years of the
nineteenth century this extraordinary
association of surgery with the last
penalty of the law continued. Erik
Peterson, who was appointed public
executioner at TrOndhjem in 1896
served as surgeon to an infantry regi-
ment in the war with Sweden, and re-
tired In 1914 with the rank of surgeon
major. Frederick I. of Prussia chose
his favorite hangman, Coblenz, to be
his physician-in-ordinary. 1t might be
suspected that this peculiar combina-
ton Of functions had its origin in
satirical view of the art of healing;
but in the records we have quoted We
can trace nothing of the kind. Per-
haps the executioner drove a trade in
human fat and other things supposed
to possess marvellous healing proper
ties; he may thus have come to be
credited with skill in healing, though
the association surely represents the
lowest degree to which the surgeon
has ever fallen in public esteem and
social position.
