5 POUNDS OF JUNK IN WOMAN'S STOMACH
Autopsy Reveals 1850 Pieces
 She Had Swallowed It Had Passed Down the Wind pipe and Into Her Lungs, Causing Inflammation

St. Joseph, Mo-, Sept. 12:-Of all the
 Human ostriches'' that ever lived,
 Sallies Roper, who just has died in
 the Missouri Hospital for the Insane in this city, stood at the head of the list. After she was dead the sur geons in the institution made an ex-
 animation of her stomach and dis
 covered therein 1850 separate pieces of hardware and other things of fnsolu- ble nature which the woman had
 more than five pounds and pr. A. c. Pettiiohn, superintendent of the fnsti- tuition exhibited them at a meeting of the Board of Managers of the hos pfta1 today. One of the strange fea-
 lures of the case was that, although the wonan's stomach was almost fill had swallowed in her dementia, she manifested no discomfort from them
 and they had nothing toNdo with her
 death. That was caused by a sin gle little pin she attempted to sWa1- ! low and send to join her collection.
 Instead of passing into her stomach it got down the windpipe and into her lungs. That set up an inflamna-
 tion that resulted in her death.
 An official inventory of the articles found in her stomach is as fo1lows:
 453 nails, AZ screws, g bolts, tea spoon handles, nail file, 3 1-2 inches long; pieces of steel. If inchess long; thimb1es, salt shaker tops. 10 taps for 3-S inch bolts, 63 safety pins, 105 buttons, 115 hairpins, B car pet tacks, 136 common pins, 16 large whiteheaded pins, 2 1-4 to 144 inches long; g37 needeles, 2 broken coat rack hooks, ? to IA inch long; 10 large beads. loose; s5 small stones and pieces of metal, weighing 3 ounces; 1S hooks and eyes, 148 grape and other small seeds. f. ',
 Those who saw the collection mar ve1ed that the woman had lived and tIlrived on such diet until finally she made the mistake of sending the pin into her lungs instead of into her stomach.
 The Roper woman was admitted to the institution in 1903 It was no ticed at the outset that she had an
 made to satisfy it. She ate ravenous- ly of the regular food served in the institution, and it is thought went out into the exercise grounds after glass and other things of solid and substantial nature for desert. She was so hungry for iron that she would pull nail out of a board and after the woman had been in the in- stitution this craving for things insolu- ble was not known to the hospital of ficials. Finally, however the secret of the woman was discovered and 'af- ter she had died and post mortem had revealed the pin in her lungs the hospital surgeons decided to examine her stomach in the interest of science. metal, glass and other things they found therein and agreed that an in ventory of the articles should be made as proof of the discovery. never had complained of suffering from stomach trouble and that seem- ingly during all the, years she had been in the institution she. had been her store of hardware and glass without suffering any physical incony yenienee.

JABS A KNIFE
into HIS NECK

Grand Forks, N. D., Oct 25.--Marttn
Peterson, aged 33, isn't very particular
whether he lives or not, and the fact
that he jabhed jack knife into his
neck several times at the noon hour
yesterday while walking along De-
Mers avenue just east Of Third street
is one of the most glaring evidences of
that fact
When Officer Blue arrived on the
scene Peterson had jabbed deep
enough to start a healthy flow Of blood
which was rapidly changing the color
of his necktie and shirt, but that was
tbout all the attempted suicide
amounted to, as the knife was quickly
taken away from the man.
This afternoon Peterson, who talks
on almost any subject
imaginable, is an inmate Of the county
Jail and he will be taken before the
county insanity commission for d
hearing.
Peterson holds himself responsible
for the lack Of rain during the past
few months, but he doesn't seem to
consider that very important matter
at the present time. = -,
.trtN There
are many other things on which Peter
son shows a willingness to talk, but
his ideas apparently are bit hazy.

MINOT BEER CASE
IS near THE end
CITY COMMISSIONERS OF MAGIC
CITY SCORED FOR METHODS
USED IN INVESTI-
CATION.

Minot, N. D., Oct. 25.-Minot's lost
beer investigation, which has been the
sensation of the last few days, is ex-
pected to eliminate at tonight's special
meeting of the city commission. Evil
denee taken behind closed doors at a
recent hearing will be gone over by the
commissioners and may be made pub
lie.
The fact that the beer alleged to
nave been stolen was stored in the city
nall to be used as evidence against
several men arrested in recent raids,
and that there has arisen a difference
or sentiment between members of the
police force and special officers who
investigated alleged prohibition law vi
olation cases, adds to the situation.
The city commissioners are being
scored for the holding of an executive
session in hearing the evidence, as none
OF the men suspected of having stolen
the beer were permitted to have coun-
sci.

PLAYED
With DYNAMITE
LAD BADLY MUIR
Ed BY ExPLosIoN--WAs Me-
NECESSARY TO AMPuTATE
SEVERAL DIGETs.

jamestown, N. D., Oct 25.-A young
boy named William Pschider, who's
father is employed as brakeman on the
Northern Pacific, was quite seriously
hurt Sunday by what appears to be
the explosion of dynamite cap. The
accident happened in the yards of the
railroad company here and the boy
made several different explanations of
how the accident occurred.
AS near as can be gathered, how
ever he was playing with a dynamite
cap, pounding it with a spike or some
sort of an instrument, when 1t ex-
ploded with great force. His hands
were injured by the explosion to such
an extent that 1t was necessary to am
2utate the thumb and two first fingers
or the left hand. The fourth finger
was badly crushed but was not re-
moved. His right thumb was also
badly injured, as well as the first
nnger OF the right hand and ampu-
lated. One eye and face bore marks of
the explosion. The boy is twelve years
CID. Some of the workmen afterwards
claim to have found portions of the
boys fingers near the railroad track,

Rules For
Sea Bathing
HOW TO DERIVE BENEFIT FROM
YOUR DIP m THE OCEAN.

TSHE reason why some women are
benefited by bathing and others
are not may be found In the manner in
which different women take their. ocean
baths
When one has not been in the ocean
for a long time one should go In for
only q few minutes at a time, gradually
Increasing the length OF the 10th.
DO not go in at all on a damp or
windy day. The bright sun is as much
Of tonic as the water.
Before and after the bath lie down on
the sand and enjoy the sun, being care
full to shield the head with an UNI
brella. Do not eat either directly be-
fore or directly after bathing.
Battle In the morning whenever pos
slble.
Do not wear corsets in the water or
any tight Lett.
When you enter the water wet your
shoulders and chest thoroughly.
II you wish to get the full effect Of
the bath do not use the spray after
ward, but merely wipe yourself dry
with a towel, leaving the salt to pene-
trate into the system.
Never stay in the water after you are
chilled, but get your circulation back
Immediately by running up and down
the beach.
A nap after the bath, followed by
the noon meal, will be found a bene-
fetal arrangement
