st. Paul, August 9O.-Prosecution
of John Till, Wisconsin healer"
now depends on whether the Mime
sofa and Wisconsin officials who
were in conference yesterday, can
prove that Mrs Anton Bosch of st.
Paul, whose death is said to have
been caused by Till's plaster, took
the treatment and whether she died
as result of it.
At a conference yesterday between
Nelson o. Varnum, district attorney
for ST. Croix county, Wisconsin;
Coroner w. H. Banks of st. Croix
county, Assistant County Attorney
Patrick Ryan of st. Paul, and Cor
oner D. C. Jones of Ramsey county,
and DR.. F. H. Odendahl, they decided
first to summon all the relatives OF
Mrs Bosch and see if they can get
positive proof that she was at Tilps
place. Till says he can't remember
that she was there. but she told DR..
Odendahl that Till treated her.
If it can be proven that Mrs.
Boesch went to Till's place an autOp-
sy will follow and the physicians
will try to determine whether the
plasters were the primary or second
airy cause of death. If the decision
of the physicians is that the plas-
tiers caused the death directly, Mr..
Varnum will at once act against Till
after determining what charge should
be placed against him.
AS the death took place in one
state and the treatment is alleged to
have been applied in another, the
prosecution may be difficult, and it
is doubtful the attorneys say, wheth-
err more serious charge than prac.
ticing without a license can be
made against the healer"
Till Has Friends Here.
John Till has many friends and
supporters in Mankato and this sec,
ton of Minnesota. A well-known
resident of Mankato said last even
ing: 81 have been treated by Till
on three occasions and l know that
he helped me greatly. l have been
thinking seriously of having him
give me another treatment some
time this fall. l know others who
have been benefited by his treat
ments, and l know of several living
here and in the country who have
been cured by him." There are
others in Mankato who say they
were not benefited in the least by
the application of Till's plaster.

be established in forty countries on
the globe.
The new body will take the form
of a new seven-day-a-week religion.
which will be spread everywhere so
that everybody may learn its doc
trines. Mr. Andre says the organi-
cation is not to include suffrage
clubs and sewing circles, but rather
is to be preached to men, by men.
Love for Old Maids.
He says that he is to be the lead
or of men who love the old maids
love in this case being taken in it's
broader meaning. The worthy spins
ter, butt of jests, object of ridicule,
patient bearer of cuts and snubs,
unhappy recipient of gibes and dolf-
head mirth, has at last found de-
fender.
The "high sign of the order will
be to step into the gutter when the
sidewalk is crowded and the older
of the weaker sex
passes, instead of showing her into
the street without Qualm; offering
her seat i'm the street car whether
she is young or old; bearing in
mind at all times that if you are
a bachelor you're no better than
she, and if you're married you may
be worse off.
Honor the working GIRL" says
Andre, whose name is legion and
whose place is everywhere, who
tolls and suffers that many others
may live; who does it without the
grumbling, whining, perpetual COM
planning of the sterner sex; who
struggles on without asking why,
and whose loyalty and devotion is
sublime because her temptations are
great, her sphere small, her power
limited, salary measily, hours long,
and whose square deal is an abom-
nation.
Much Ahead of MolIycoddles.
Honor the old maid. She takes
care of the cat and parrot, makes
last years dresses do for this year
without a murmur, does her own
and besides that is holding
down the job at the high desk and
the typewriter which a few short
years ago little mollycoddles with
short hair and pallid compilations
were being whipped into handling.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDES
Freeman Westman Cuts Throat while
Temporarily Insane. Mrs. Peter
Hansen Took Iodine.

Freeman Westman of Dudsville,
Canada, employed as farm hand on
the AFRO Peck farm about two miles
out of the village, attempted to end
his life by cutting his throat early
Sunday morning. The man cut ter
rible cash in the right side of his
throat and the wound bled profusely
but the physician in charge thinks
he will recover. He evidently was
suffering from insanity when he
committed the act but since then he
has appeared perfectly sane.
Mr.. Westman came to work for
Mr.. Peck several months ago and
had been steady and compet-
ent worker. He seldom went away
from the farm and had drawn none
of the wages he had earned during
the summer. During the latter part
of ast week he suffered from Sc
we're headache and acted queerly at
times but did nothing that aroused
apprehension on the part of the fam
lily. Sunday morning he did not get
up at the usual time. Mr.. Peck
| went to the barn and did the chores
and when he came back to the house
went to Westman's room to see why
he did not get up He found him
sitting on the edge of. the bed with
his throat cut and a razor in his
hand. Westman told Mr.. Peck to
go back. Mr.. Peck started for the
telephone and called DIR. Fitch and
health officer F. S. Hartman and
they went to the farm as soon as
possible. Westman was on the floor
with the blood streaming from the
wound, which narrowly missed the
jugular vein. AS soon as the flow
of blood was checked they took the
man to the hospital where he is re-
covering from the wound His
| brother, Enoch Westman, came here
Monday and will take the sick man
home today.

bath was finished the daughter
stepped out of the bath room to
the telephone and Mrs. Hansen
went into the sink room saying she
wanted to wash her face. She got
hold of bottle of iodine there and
started to take a drink of it. Mr..
Hansen saw her and sprang for her
to take the bottle away but she
drank quite a quantity of it before
he could get to her.
DIR. H. G. Bullard was summoned
and gave her antidotes which saved
her life for a time but her inability
to retain nourishment of any kind
makes her case very serious one.
