WILL FREEZE OUT LEPRoSY.

| DIR. Ralph Bernstein dermatologist of
the Hahnemann Hospital and Medical
college. a worldwide authority on skin
diseases and a cancer specialist COM
menting ON the discovery of two cases
! of leprosy here, declared tonight that
he could conquer the disease by freeZ-

| a Philadelphia correspondent of the
New York Herald. This is the method
he has successfully used in treating
lepithelioma or skin cancer The solu-
ton placed on the skin causes the cells
to expand and nature then breaks them
down and carries them away.
"Leprosy can only be contracted
through the medium of an open
wound" said DR. Bernstein. Even
this is doubtful, for it has been tried
scientifically to produce the disease it
self by direct incubation of the germs

1t has been absolutely unsuccessful

not fear an epidemic of leprosy. 1t is
To- be borne in mind that those who
have contracted the disease have been
poorly fed and usually live under poor
hygienic conditions, and that it rarely
attacks those whose surroundings are

III people injured during the earth
quake at Frisco were shot to death

cred impossible To rescue them from
a burning hospital The statement
was made by a visiting lecturer Sun
day night. when pictures were shown
of the Gate city soon after the dis
astrous fire and earthquake in 1906.
The statement was carried to the ears
of Gus Heyman, who claims San
Francisco as his home town, and who
was an official in caring for the IN
jured Immediately after General F'uns-
ton placed the city under military
government Mr. Heyman declared 1t
an unwarranted statement and tracing
the information to the source secured
the admission of the lecturer that the
latter had no positive proof of the
statement he had made. The lecturer
also assured Mr.. Heyman that he
had no intention of misrepresenting
the facts, and promised that the UNI

A BIG BANQUET.
Los Angeles, Cal.

Los Angeles, Cal.
To the Register:
1t is doubtful if any other city in
the United States could hold such a
banquet as was given on the evening
of March II in the city Of Los Angeles.
On that evening, nearly 5000 persons,
representing every state and territory
in the Union, besides Canada and Ha-
wall sat down to their respective ia
bles. The tables were arranged in
the large hall in the order of the po-
sition of the state on the map. To il
lustrate, Maine was in the n. e. cor
ner of the room, Florida in the S. E.,
California in the west and so on.
Each state decorated it's own table
and some of the tables were finely or
.namented. Over the Pennsylvania
table, a facsimile of the Liberty Bell
was suspended. This state by the
way, had the largest representation
present, $50 being seated at their
table.
Of course, we found our place at
the South Dakota table which proved
not to be large enough for all who
came, so hat a few had to be sent
over to sit with Canada and Nebraska.
Bookings was represented at the
table by the Golfers, Lloyds, Bin
fords and McClenons.
The banquet began at 7 o'clock and
it was II when the program closed
with the singing of America by all
present. The toasts were given by
prominent men from various parts of
the Union. Among them was an ex-
Governor, a candidate for president Of
the United States, and the last speak
err on the program was ex-Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks, who has been spend
ing the winter in Pasadena.

is FOUND DEAD.

Thos. J. Cuckow, ne of the Oldest
residents of Dell Rapids, was discover
ed dead at his home in the eastern
part of town yesterday afternoon.
He was a very eccentric old gentle
man, and lived all by himself. The
last time he was seen alive was on
Saturday, March II, when he was
down town visiting his usual haunts,
did some business at the Dell Rapids
State Bank, and got his mail. AS he
was very exclusive in his habits, and
did not have much to do with his
neighbors, they had not paid the at
tention to him they otherwise would,
but had thought he might have gone
into the country for a few days, as he
sometimes did.
The fact that he had not been to
the p~ostofice for his mail for some
time started an investigation. Mr.
Mulligan suggesting to Policeman
Ryan yesterday afternoon that he see
if he could find out anything about
him. Mr.. Ryan went up to the house,
and found the curtains drawn, but
could see in the bedroom window that
the bed had been used, and being sus-
picious that all was not right, he got
Rev. Jacob Olson, who lives opposite,
and they together entered the house,
finding the front door unlocked.
AS they opened the door a rush of
gas met them, further arousing their
apprehension.
Mr.. Cuckow was found sitting in a
chair in the dining room, naked eX-
cept for an undershirt, while the valve
of the gas lamp near him was partly
oLen, and one burner Of the gas stove
in the kitchen adjoining was wide
omen, with the gas escaTi g into the
room.
He had apparently just taken a
bath the wash basin being nearby,
with clean clothes hanging on a chair.
The indications were first thought
TO point to suicide, but more mature
Judgment questions such a conclus-
ion. 1t is thought he must have died
probably on Sunday, March II. There
was very little d~iscoloration of the
body. and as he had been known to
have had several bad spells with his
heart. it is believed he was seized with
one while he was bathing, and sat
down in the chair and passed away.
The open gas jets must be accounted
for, however.
The authorities were notified, also
his daughter, Mrs. Thornber, in the
country, and his son, Fred W., of
Brookings. The latter and his father
in-law, James Thornber, an old friend
of the deceased, came across by auto
last evening.

Wangsness and DR.. Culver came up
from Sioux Falls late last evening.
