other diseases to which children are
susceptible.
If infantile paralysis, or any other
severe illness, is suspected, Doctor
Murphy says, the child should be given
the benefit of the doubt, and physi-
clan should be called as soon as pos
sible. Proper treatment in the early
stages may not only prevent fatality,
but it is absolutely necessary to pre-
vent permanent paralysis.
If the physician is not sure of the
diagnosis, suspected cases should be
handled as prescribed by the state
board of health regulations, which
provide that all other children, visi-
tors, pets, insects, etc., be excluded,
and that the discharges from the nose,
throat and mouth be received in cloths
and burned. All other discharges must
be properly disinfected and the access
of flies prevented.

Well-Fed Babies Resist Paralysis.

Infantile paralysis is less frequent
among babies fed upon the mothers
milk than among babies fed artificial
mixtures This is shown by statistics
compiled by the Minnesota Public
Health Association. The reason for
this, says DR.. I. J. Murphy, executive
secretary of the association, is that
breast-fed babies have greater re-
sistance to disease, being therefore
less subject to infantile paralysis
germs as we'll as to all other infec-
tious diseases. r..
While infantile paralysis may at

SHOOTS HERSELF
Mrs. John KOstanshek of Bogus
Brook Attempts Life With
12-Guage Shotgun.
No Reason Given for Act-Patient
Now at Northwestern Hospital
End Is Near.

Mrs. John Kostanshek of Bogus
Brook, presumably while in despond-
ent mood, took 12-guage shotgun
Tuesday morning, placed the muzzle
against the right side Of her abdomen
and discharged it. The charge lodged
in the left hip. It bored hole about
an inch in diameter, fragmented the
pelvic bone and perforated the in
testines in dozens Of places beyond
repair.
Mrs. Kostanshek was alone at the
time. Her husband is in the Colorado
coal fields, and her two children-Otto,
aged ~, and Oscar, aged 6-were at
neighboring farm home on an
errand.
The two little boys upon their re-
turn found their mother lying on the
floor near the door Of the little one
room home. They were told to call
a doctor, and hurried to the Reinhold
Jopp home, a mile and a half away,
where DIR. Cooney of Princeton was
summoned by telephone.
DR.. Cooney had the patient taken
to the Northwestern hospital. She was
living this morning, but the end is
not far removed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kostanshek first came
to this vicinity about four years ago
when they purchased 40 acres of un-
improved land in southeast Bogus
Brook. Mr.. Kostanshek has not
passed great deal Of time here, hav-
ing labored in mines, both on the Min
nesota Guyana range, and in Colorado
most of the time since. The past yea1
his wife and children were with him
in Colorado, and the family returned
here three weeks ago. By dint of in
dustry and frugality Mr.. Kostanshek
had accumulated. enough money tc
make his final payment on his land
during his most recent stay here, and
he left for Colorado only last Satur.

team and other stock. He then intended
to settle down to quiet rural life with
his family. Efforts to get in touch
with Mr.. Kostanshek by telegraph
have failed thus far, but cards ar
rived at the Princeton postoffice yes
terday for his wife and children, mailed
by him at Boulder, Colorado, on the
21st inst.
It is sad case and Mrs. Kostanshek
has given no reason for her rash act
The fact that her hand bag containing
500 was stolen while she was in Min
neapolis three weeks ago may account
for it. The money was in her care
and she may have grieved over the
loss more than it warranted. She has
stated that her domestic relations
were pleasant, and there appears to
be no other explanation of the unfor-
tunate affair. Mrs. Kostanshek is
about 80 years old.

Mrs. Katherine A. Deans.

Mrs. Katherine A. Deans, a beloved
resident Of Foreston and a cherished
pioneer of this county, answered the
Masters summons at her home in that
village last Thursday afternoon at
2:l5 o'clock, after an illness of over
years duration. Dropsy and heart
trouble caused death. Everything
known to modern medical science was
resorted to in futile endeavor to eff
feet cure, and all that loving hands
could do was done to ease her de-
clining days.
Funeral services were conducted
from the family residence Sunday
morning at 10 o'clock by Rev. Parish,
who paid deserved tribute to the
character and other desirable qualities
Of one who had crossed the bar in
peace. Special music was rendered
by Mesdames Norgren and Thorsen
and Messrs. Garrison and Sirene. The
floral tributes were numerous and ex-
ceptionally beautiful, and attested to
the high regard in which deceased was
fheld. Interment was in Oak Knoll
cemetery, Princeton. A quartet made
up OF Mesdames E. B. Service, Guy
Ewing and Messrs. Nathan Peterson
and Guy Ewing sang a touching selec
ton at the grave. The pallbearers
were Messrs. Chas. Vallepipe, L. E.
Morgan, John Hunter, James Hunter,
John Norgren and Roy Hall.
Deceased, whose maiden name was
Katherine A. Chisholm, was born in
Belleville, Canada, July 13, 1861. She
accompanied her parents to this coun
try when girl, and was united in
marriage to Mr.. George H. Deans on
October %, 1878, at the old Chisholm
homestead in Milo. Mr.. Deans sur
wives her as do two daughters, Misses
Eunice and Inez.
Mrs. Deans was one Of those ladies'
whose Christian character and kind
ness win the love of ALL AS a wife
and mother she left nothing to be de-
sired, and her life was indeed we'll
lived in the complete sense of that
term. Her death marks the passing
OF one who enriched the world by hav-
ing lived in it.

he can spare to politics his year. Won't

MANY MELONS YET
TO SHIP
Acreage in Marion County Consider
ably Less than Last Year, but
Pricesrare Satisfactory

From information obtained there
appears to be a good acreage of wa
termelons in this section yet to be
shipped. This is said to be especially
true of the northern part of the coun-
ty. Mr.. j. M. Meffert, at Lowell, for
example, has some fine melons COM
ing on, his crop having been consid-
erably damaged and set back by the
heavy hail storm in that section this
spring.
The acreage of melons this year,
according to some figures, was over
5000 acres short. Prices are said to
have been generally satisfactory,
however, and there has probably been
considerable money made by the
growers.
While the yields OF the cantaloupe
fields are said to have been especially
good, the acreage has been much less
than last season. The first few cars
brought good prices, and then there
was slump. Probably not more
than so cars of cantaloupes have been
shipped out of the state.

Troops of the Great White Gar Have
Invaded Transylyania

Petrograd, June 27.-A large Rus
sian army has pushed on southwark,
crossed the Carpathian mountains
and actually commenced an invasion
OF Pennsylvania. The Austrian forces
which had made stand in what were
considered almost impregnable noun
tam passes, were put to rout and are
now in full retreat. This is the most
serious blow received by Austria
since the war began, because the Rus
slams are now in position to threaten
Budapest. Terrific fighting continues
on the northern end of the eastern
front, where the Germans are at
tempting to stem the forward move
