forced to stop at small towns for days

Schrom returned to New Orleans on
November 10 and Immediately set out
for Mobile, his first stop en- route to
Jacksonville. He made the trip as Tar

At the time of the Galveston Hood
Frank Schrom was one of the best
known bakers and confectioners in the
city He and his family, composed OF
himself, his wife and five daughters,
had an excellent business and lived in
the best part of the city. The flood.
however, brought him ruin, flooding his
business, tearing away his 5000 resi-
dence, drowning his wife and three
daughters and taking away his entire
fortune.
Two of his daughters, Miss Frances
Schrom, now 50 years of age, and Mrs.
Josephine Fleischkump, now 40. were the
only members of his family who were
not drowned. Since then he has heard
that they were in different sections of
the country and his many trips have
been in search of them. He is conf
dent of locating them in Jacksonville,
and If he does not he will continue to
search for them in other cities.

NEW ORLEANS. Dec. ia special

Port Limon. Costa Rica, says that a

last week and the series Of Thursday
night was especially severe.
THE people on the little island, no.
pango, were observed giving signals OF
distress late Thursday afternoon" says
the dispatch, but it was out Of the ques-

After honeymoon that. lasted only
IS days, during most of which time
she was forced TO help support her hus-
band, according to the allegations of
a divorce petition filed Monday morning,
17-year-old Mrs Georgia Lou Miller
awoke TO the sad realization that the
$500 diamond ring" which her hus-
ban nd had given her as a token of his
.undying affection was only a worthless
piece of glass.
The revlation that the pretended dla-
mond was paste came, according to Mrs,
Miller. as the elimination of a series
of ESTABLISHMENTS equally if not more
painful.
To begin with, says the girl bride. she
was forced to marry Frank Max Miller
by violent threats that he would kill
her and commit suicide If she refused.
He was a violent and dangerous man.
and was in very wild mood when he
made the threats, declares Mrs. Miller,
and gave her every reason to believe
he would carry II out

"DIAMOND" ENGAGEMENT RING
PROVED TO BE ONLY GLASS

They were married. says Mrs.
Miller, on November IS, and on
December the newly wed husband
departed ostensibly for Columbia, S. c.,
and he hasn't been seen since.
During their brief married life, says
Mrs. Miller, she did his every bidding
and feared for her life. He was still
wild in his manners and cursed like a
trooper in her presence" Mrs. Miller
further complains that she and her
mother had to help support her newly
acquired lord and master.
1t was after Miller's departure, that
Mrs. Miller carried the ring to a jew
eler of avunclar proclivtties to borrow
money on it, and there learned the
cruel news that her wedding cake was
dough.
Mrs. Miller naively adds that she has
no father or brother to protect her, and
therefore, in her tender youth, was much
more likely to fall a victim to the ma
chinations OF designing men

TRIBUTE TO BOUCHER.

Steele Ozone: The Tribune of
Friday had the news of the death of
Nelson F. Boucher former resident
of the Slope, and twelve years the
warden OF the state penitentiary at
Bismarck. He died at Los Angeles,
CAL, where he was living with his
wife and widowed daughter, Mrs.
Matchan. Mr.. Boucher was about SIS
years of age and was a native of
New York state, and of the old patron
stock; having been born not far from
Schenectady. He came to this state
in the eighties and was agency clerk
at Fort Berthold under Major Clifford
for time, later settling at Washburn
where he practiced law. He removed
to Bismarck in the summer of 1889,
and was later appointed city attorney.
He was considered well read lawyer
and in a wider field OF practice E"euld
have made his mark by close atten-
ton to his profession. AS warden,
while subject to considerable critic
ism as to discipline and methods, his
administration was undoubtedly capa-
BILE and much was accomplished. He
was a man of more than averag ex-
ecutive ability.

GROWTH OF kIDDER COUNTY

the newly made ones west of the river

show the gain in population that Kid

About election time we all realize
that there are more people each year
and the commissioners report show
new names. while other incidents call
occasional attention to the fact OF

is the thing that fixes the fact, and
The last one is now being made pub.
lie by degrees.
This gives the population Of the
county as 1892, against 1854 in 1900.
This is a gain of 4,2O8, or nearly 1892
per cent in ten years, while cities and
towns in the state, and all over the
country for that matter, are Dragging
about their gain, and swelling up
with pride; we will casually point
them to do this little increment. We
might write Il sermon on this fact,

will wonder why we do not spread
it on, thick and plenty. But if we
were going to do anything in the SER
mon order we would start from the

osTEoPATHs AND PHYSICIANS

We do not think the osteopaths of
the state will gain anything in the es-
timation Of intelligent citizenship by
spreading through the state circular
matter attacking the medical profess
sion generally and charging physic-
ians with graft" in surgical opera
lions. The osteopaths make the com.
mon mistake of selecting isolated
cases and charging them as typical.
1t is undoubtedly true that the medi.
cal fraternity has not reached the
highest possible standard. Necessity
has in many cases lowered the stand
ard of some members of the profess
sion, and desire for gain has resulted
in undesirable things on the part OF
some individual members of the medi.
cal fraternity. 1t is fact, however,
that the fraternity itself is working
continuously for the raising of the
standard Of physicians and surgeons,
! and such graft as the osteopaths
represent as existing is the exception
and not the rule. The solution of the
whole question is the raising of the
standard of medical colleges and of
the requirements to practice medicine.
We have no objection to the prac-
tice of osteopathy, within its proper
limit. We have some serious objec-
tons to the practice of medicine and
surgery by osteopaths without regula-
ton and examination. Osteopaths
who desire to practice medicine and
surgery should submit to exactly the
same examination that physicians I'M
dergo when they apply for permission
to practice the science Of healing.
Unless there is a fixed standard for
permission to practice medicine and
surgery, We shall have a dangerous
condition to face and the standard Of
the medical profession will be lower.
ed and not raised.
The object Of legal restriction md
regulation Of the profession of heal
ing and the treatment of disease is
not for the protection Of any class of
physicians and healers. 1t is for the
protection of the general public from
improper treatment and lack o. the
ordinary care that should be exercis.
ed in diagnosis and treatment. Scien-
titic research has proven certain
things with reference to disease, cause
and cure, to the satisfaction of the
best minds of the country Our legis-
lation must be had with due regard
to what science has proven with a
good deal of exactitude.

The lecture is given under the au-
