physicians, and, in addition, show
that progressive strides have been
made in the past year. "At the time
Louis j. Bristow assumed charge of
the hospital 16 months ago." the re.

debt of over $4,000, and at the close
OF the fiscal year the debt Is only
slightly over $4,000.
Many improvements have been
made in the hospital during the year
and the report enumerates the follow

chased; heating plant renovated; new
dumb waiter installed in south build.
ing; a cystoscopic room fitted out; a
new telephone system installed and
many beds added.
The extremely low death rate was
pointed out in strong terms by the re.
port, which said that out OF 1897 per-
sons admitted for treatment, which is
an increase of $40 over last year, only
81. or about 2 per cent, died. The
total volume Of business tranacted by
the hospital for the year was over

FINDS HIS WEALTH A BURDEN
Trouble With Man Who Has Acquired
Riches Is That He Doesn't Know
How to Spend.

The nuisance for the man who has
acquired great financial resources usu-
ally is that he doesn't know what he
wants. Possessing the resources and
feeling the moral necessity to have re-
course to them, he looks about for
something to want, and he selects the
most costly thing.
The acquisition of this most costly
thing always involves, in practice, the
separation of the rich man from So
ciety. Thus, he will acquire n large
estate. or several large estates, and cut
himself off from the world by gates.
doors. miles Of drive, lodge keepers,
menials and secretaries. Or he will
acquire 2,000-ton yacht ana cross the
Atlantic privately, though less quickly,
less comfortably, and even less pri-
Entely than on Il great liner. Or he
Will keep private orchestra, instead
Of being seen at concerts.
All of which, though magnificent is
anti-social and silly, and is secretly
felt to be so by the rich man when he
happens to wake up in the middle of
the night and can't go to sleep again.

SKINNED BY EcKsTElN TAKES
~. NELSON CURE.

Endorsers of paper made out by
Roman Eckstein, formerly of New Ulm,
are now reaping the whirlwind, when
they are asked to pay the notes becoming
due. The first of Eckstein's victims to
seek relief by going through bankruptcy
proceedings is Rt. Rev. Mgr. Alois Plut,
formerly of New Ulm, but now of
Shakopee. He gives his liabilities at
$16,775.46 and his assets at $4,755. One
note for $4,000 is signed by Roman
Eckstein and by Mgr. Plut as endorser
and is listed as a liability due Rev.
Paulin Wiesner, pastor of the German
Catholic church at St. Bernard.
Roman Eckstein was sent to the St.
Cloud refor1natory from Hennepin coun-
ty for embezzlement. There is also
among the liabilities note for $4,000
in favor of L. V. Forsyth, Minneapolis,
Endorsed by Mgr. Plut and E. G. Stroud,
who was connected with Eckstein in the
business of the Hennepin Truck Sales
Company. There is a complaint against
Stroud in Ramsey county for the same
offense of which Eckstein was convicted.
The petitioner also says that there
are several notes outstanding, the a.
mount of which he does not know. They
were signed in blank and left on his desk.
He believes that these were stolen by
Eckstein.
