NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Dr. Kerar
O'Brien, who used stovaine for four
years in this country before it was
acclaimed in London as a wonderful
anaesthetic, died at his home 327 ia
maica avenue.
He once was physician on the school
ship Newport. When announcement
was made from abroad that the use of
stovaine had been accompanied by
wonderful results, Dr. O'Brien said
that he had used it for four years in
his minor operations, and he claimed
the credit OF being the first physician
to introduce it's use into this country.

LEOPOLD'S WIDOW is
TO MARRY ONCE MORE

PARIS, Jan. 22.-According to the
Gil Bias the Baroness Vaughan, the
| morganatic wife of the late Belgian
King Leopold, will shortly be married
to well-known Partisan.
The Baroness Vaughan was Caroline
Delacroix, the Roumanian girl with the
violet eyes, who attracted the attention
of King Leopold during one of his Wis
its of pleasure in Paris, and became
his mOrganatic wife.
After their morganatic marriage,
which, though unrecognized by the law
of Belgium, had the blessing of the
church, the king created her Baroness
Vaughan and endowed her with the
riches of the blood-stained Congo Free
State.
He created a new peerage for that
rubber inferno, and in order to avoid

that he might be one of the noted cat
tie rustlers hiding in Devils Hole,
but the hermit has a club foot, ant
none of the outlaws in hiding in the
hole is crippled in any way.
! The following story has been deduce6
from the facts as told by the store
keeper and from the gossip that has
put this and that together and woven
| it into a whole.
The young man is the son of mil
lionaire easterner, who became an
gered when his son wanted to marry
the daughter of business rival. The
rival refused, as did the young man s
father, to allow the marriage, and he
packed his daughter off to Europe.
Such bitter opposition occurred from
time to time following that the young
man despaired of ever gaining the girl
for his wife,
His nature was such that he became
morose and taciturn and kept much
to himself He could have no pleasure
in the society of either men or women
and decided to seek part of the coun-
try where he would not have to be near
people.
Makes Gold Discovery.
He came to Moffat county. Some
settlers here remember the coming of
the stranger and declare that even at
that time he refused to converse with
them. At Maybell he purchased
placer mining outfit and started into
the mountains to the north. He must
have discovered gold in the waters Of
one of the creeks in that direction, be-
cause he brings a bottle filled with
yellow fakes with him on his nightly
visits to Maybell.
Several times in the last year parties
have gone out in search of the her
mit's cabin the hope of locating the
placer fields.
The belief of some of the older men
of this section is that the young man
has discovered valuable placer claim
and is taking out gold and storing it
away, bringing to Maybell with him
only enough to buy needed supplies.

/ causing scandal by creating her bar
oness of Belgium, he gave her peer
age in the Congo.
The next members of the nobility of
the Congo were the baroness two sons,
one of whom was created Due de Ter
ureren, and the other Comte de Raven
stein.
1t was said that the king settled
100000 out of the profits of his Con-
go domains on these children.
Some time after Leopold's death the
Baroness Vaughan married NJ Amen
iel Darieux, former lieutenant in the
French army, who had acted for many
years as the steward of her estates.
The bridegroom was AZ and the bride
said she was 81.
Six months later she obtained a di-
vorce from her new husband.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY %, 1913,
IDAHO: A HEALTHY STATE.

A current magazine has a clever
story in which a youthful real estate
boomer" capitalized the remarkable
liberties taken with the truth by the
oldest inhabitant," and sold a new adj
dition because it was particularly and
peculiarly healthy.
OF course the whole story is fab
rication. 1t probably never had a
basis in fact, yet Will Irwin never
imagined anything more striking than
the basis for similar story to be
found in the annual report of the
Idaho state board of health.
When one person dies in Idaho,
three are born!
Striking, isn't it? 1t is also true.
The board of health's report on
vital statistics shows that from May l.,
1911, to November /, 1912, there were
but 2SO7 deaths in the state of Idaho.
During the same period, according
to vital statistics, there were just
1855 births.
The death rate in Idaho is only
$500 pere 1000
But the birth rate in this state is
1894.
Search the nation through. You will
find no other state that has so excel
lent showing. A beneficent nature
is kindly to its children in the state of
Idaho

came back. She arrived at Monte
Carlo-and four years search has
been completely futile.
Relatives Become Alarmed.
After Boston relatives had waited fol-
news from Mrs. Hutchins until they be-
came alarmed, they notified the state
authorities and inquiry was begun. II
was expected that some explanation
would solve the mystery-something
like death from accident, or maybe a
loss of memory, or something like that
But no explanation came, nor any trace
of the widow.
Time went on. Two years ago Con-
gresham James M Curley renewed
inquiries on behalf of Mrs. Hutchins'
niece, Mrs. John M. Burroughs, of 40
Nixon street, Dorchester, whose hus-
band is connected with the engineering
department of the city of Boston.
The drag-net of inquiry was thrown
wider. Search was instituted in all
European countries and cities where it
was thought Mrs. Hutchins could pos
sibly have been.
The authorities of Egyptian ports and
cities-for Mrs. Hutchins had written
that she was going from Monte Carlo
to Alexandria-were notified.
No news came. Now the department
of state reports that all hope is given
up. 1t was reported that Mrs. Hutch
ms had been traced to city in Bel
GUM.
Clue Proves Worthless.
But the state department has sent to
Congressman Curley's office in Wash
ington note from Baron Van Berelst,
acting minister of foreign affairs in
Belgium, that no trace of Mrs. Hutch
ms had been found in his country.
Mr.. Burroughs, husband of the miss
ing woman's niece, said:
I'VE have thought of everything. She
might have been cast overheard from
the deck of ship. She may have died
of fever in some hospital and was then
buried in an unmarked grave like
thousands of others. Mrs. Burroughs
and myself have done all in our power
to find her. 1t is indeed strange case.
never heard OF one like it.
when she left this country she was
IN good health and supplied with money
enough to defray expenses on her trip.
So far as we know she did not have a
friend in Europe. There could really
be no motive for anybody killing her
unless it was for money"
Mrs. Henrietta Hutchins was the !
widow of James Hutchins, of Dorches-
ter, who died 20 years ago. His wife |
was then about 35 years old.
He left her enough money to support |
her in comfort. i

Weed SPRAY
WAS A SUCCESS
THE WEED SPRAY AS RECON-
MENDEo BY THE DEPARTMENT
OF BOTANY HAS PROVED ONE
OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL
METHODS OF DESTRUCTION.

At the time that Professor Bollcy
developed the method Of weed spray
ing for the destruction Of weeds In
cereal fields, parks, ~hOulcvards, etc, a
good many people, especially in Far
go, laughed at the idea.
For a number Of years Professor
Boiley has been in correspondence
with the managers Of park systems
| and railroads, with regard to the use
Of sprays for the destruction Of weeds.
The railroads have particularly benC-
| fitted by the method. The following
letter will show a part of the interest
that the railroad men are taking In
| the work:
THE Atkinson, Topeka and Santa
Fe Ry., chief chemists office. Prof
H. L. BolIey, Agricultural college,
| Dear Sir: / wish to call upon you Tor
a little further information relative to
the use of sodium arsenite for de-
stroying vegetation on the right-of-
way.
You will remember that you wrote
me several times some three years
| ago and sent several bulletins. Two
years ago we treated some fifty miles
Of track in Texas to kill the Johnson
grass and our best results were OBJ
tanned from using at the rate of S65
| pounds of sodium aTsenite and half
that quantity of caustic soda to the
mile 10 feet wide; these chemicals
being dissolved in 1000 gallons OF
water. Last year we treated some
twenty miles of track in Kansas kill
ing the ordinary weeds using about
one-half the quantity of chemicals as
given above. The tests in Texas were
quite satisfactory, but in Kansas were
not so successful. We apparently
killed the vegetation for the first two
or three weeks and then 1t commenced
to grow as rapidly as v We are,
however, going to treat some 400 miles
of track this year and will use the
proper amount of chemicals to do the
business. %"
You have had a large amount Of
experience and ! will be very greatly
obliged If you will let us have the
benefit of it in answer to the follow
ing list Of questions: -"
Will thank you kindly for a rather
full reply. Yours truly, Signed w. A.
Power, chief chemist"

STATEMENT TO
FARGO VOTERS

To the Voters: The following letter
from Ex-Mayor Lowell will undoubt-
eddy be of interest to the citizens of
Fargo and explains itself:
April 26, 1913, Mr.. Sam Mcdonald,
Fargo. n. d. Dear Sir: In reply to
your recent inquiry, / have no hest
tation in commencing to the public
your painstaking care, ~steadfast loyal
ty, and laborious attention, during the
two years you were chairman Of the
fire and water committee of the city
council, to the difficult task of ac-
complishing pure water for Fargo.
I believe you are as well informed
upon the complex and involved sub
ject af water purification as any one
who has ever belonged to the council,
and agree with you that the city of
Fargo, having paid 100000 for a pur-
ification plant. would be exhibiting
good business prudence to keep some
body on Its governing body who knows
something about 1t.
Respectfully yours, v. r.. Lowell.
/ am a candidate for city commits
sioner and will appreciate your sup-
port.

iiams. Evangelist.

There was a large attendance last
night at the gospel temperance meet
ing which was held at the Glad It'd
ings Mission. The principal speaker
of the evening was P. /. Williams, and
he took for his subject The Drunkard's
Conversion. He told the story of the
work of rum in a graphic and
held the undivided attention of his
hearers. He is one of the best speak
ers who has yet attended the mission
and was introduced in a few we'll
chosen words by Rev. o. E. McCrack-
en-, pastor Of the mission. He COM
pared the life of the drunkard with
the nan who was sober and fndustri-
Gus and advised all to turn from the
drink and become honest christians.
During the evening there was special
music which was very pleasing. There
will be special services at the mission
tomorrow morning, afternoon and eve
ming, to which all are most cordially
invited to attend.

A man was sitting on a barrel, his
legs crossed under him, looking at me
with no more surprise than If | had

his expression was neither that Of the
living nor of the dead.
But reason soon comes back into

with frmness and, advancing, I took

in the night and after laShing his float
clambered on deck But how in his
frpnzied condition he had the natural
sense to do so is matter rather for
those who have studied iunacy than a
sailorman with no education.
We took the man down to the galley
and gave him the first thing some
warm broth. This we followed by meat
and little BY little let him have fair
meal. His reason returned. and he told
us of his ship being put on beam ends
in the storm, his taking the raft with
seven others who were all washed of.
remembering everything till the last
man left him, and he was alone watch
ing every mountain billow. expecting
that it would send him to join his lost
companions. His meeting our ship, the
lashing Of the raft to the chains. his
getting into the hold and what he did
there were perfect blank to him.

dOuhters have invariably hit on what
they call the weak points-firSt. how
