EXCITED OVER WAR; SUICIDES
Prosperous Farmer Near Little Sank
Hangs Self in HaymOw Sunday
Morning, March rs.

Geo. E. Schmidt, a prosperous farm
er residing near Little Sank commit
ted suicide Sunday morning by hang
ing. 1t is thought that excitement ov-
er the war temporarily unbalanced his
mind and was the cause of prompting
him to such an act.
Mr.. Schmidt attended to his chores,
as usual Sunday morning, but when
his son went to the barn to call him
to breakfast he could not find his faith
err. He climbed into the haymow and
thought he saw Mr.. Schmidt standing
against the side of the NOV. He call
ed him, but received no answer. The
mother was called, but she got no re-
Spouse and frightened, sent for a
neighbor who soon found Mr..
Schmidt's body hanging from the NOW.
He had climbed up the side of the
barn, attached the rope to the braces,
tied the rope around his neck and
jumped off. The superstition is that he
broke his neck and died instantly.
The coroner was called and decided
an inquest was unnecessary. The fun
eral was held Wednesday afternoon
from Long Bridge church.

APPOINTMENTS BY MAYOR
CHIEF OF POLICE AND CITY
CLERK NAMED SUBJECT TO
CONFIRMATION

One of the very warmest cam
paigns in the city of Sank Centre for
many years is rapidly drawing to a
close.
The wet and dry forces are working
like beavers and both sides profess
confidence over the outcome, but the
facts are that while each are hopeful
they are mighty doubtful down in
their own hearts.
The mayoralty contest between DR..
Hennemann and Art J. DuBeau is
keeping pace with the wet and dry
contest. The friends of each will adj
nit of nothing but victory for their
man.
The Second ward aldermanic con-
test between Alex Jameson and Peter
Robischon has not reached the boiling
point as yet.
There seems to be considerable con-
troversy over just what appointments
are made by the Mayor and for which
he is directly responsible. The Her,
aid has taken the trouble to look up
the charter provisions and finds thai

PLANS OF COMPANIES.

Washington, March 2S.-General ad-
vances in freight rates will be sought
probably within the next ten days,
by railroads in every section of the
United States.
Preliminary steps were taken by
virtually all railroads concerned in an
informal conference with the inter-
state commerce commission.
Definite announcement was made
that the advance asked for Eastern
roads would be Is per cent on all COM
modities except ore, bituminous coal
and coke.
Representatives of western lines
indicated that they, too, would ask
for Is per cent.
Railroads of the Southwest submit
ted figures showing that increases
ranging between 10 and 21.4 per cent
were needed to meet additional costs.
Southern railroads probably will de-
termine the increase desired at con-
ference here next Friday.
No authority will be sought, under
present proceedings, to increase pas
senger fares.
In addition to the proceedings be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion concerning interstate rates
spokesman for the railroads let it be
known that they are preparing to &c
before every state railroad and public
utilities commission in the Union to
ask for authority to increase their
freight tariffs on interstate traffic.

proposed increases poured into the Of

SCARLET FEVER CONTROLLED
Health Authorities Rigid Action Pre-
vents Serious Epidemic of the
Dreaded Malady.

The rigid manner in which the board
of health and school authorities at
tackled the threatened scarlet fever
epidemic in Sank Centre has brought
most gratifying results.
No new cases have broken out so
far as the officers have been able to
ascertain since March 18th land those
afflicted are getting along in very
satisfactory manner. Many of those
sent home as suspects have been al
lowed to resume their school duties.
What has been accomplished in
Sank Centre is very striking illustra-
ton of what can be done in preventing
an epidemic when the authorities ana
public are working in harmony and
any community visited by an epidemic
will discover that cooperation means
the shortest way to stamp out the
disease, the results of which are often
underestimate.

DEATH CLAIMS Old RESIDENT
Mrs. Rebecca. Anne Richardson Sue
combs to Paralysis-Burled at
Greenwood Saturday.

Mrs. Rebecca Anne Richardson, wife
of John Richardson, for many years
resident Of Sank Centre, was called to
her eternal home late Thursday eve
ming, March %, 1917, after a months
illness. The deceased suffered a stroke
of paralysis in October, 1916. She
partially recovered from this stroke
and was able to look after her house
hold duties until the second attack on
Feb. %, 1917, after which she was
confined to her bed. She suffered
third stroke March 22,and death came
shortly after.
The deceased was the wife of John
Richardson. The family came to
Stearns county shortly after the Civil
war, the husband taking up a home
stead in Ashley township. They resid-
ed on the farm until 10 years ago
when they came to Sank Centre.
Those who were privileged to enjoy
the acquaintance and friendship of
Mrs. Richardson speak in the most en-
dearing terms of her many womanly
attributes. The funeral was held from
the Methodist church Saturday after
noon at o'clock, the pastor, Rev. r.
w. Duel, officiating. Burial was made
in Greenwood cemetery. The follow
ing obituary on the life of the deceas-
ed was prepared by Mr.. Duel:
"Rebecca Anne Richardson was
born in the state of Illinois in 1845.
She moved to Wisconsin with her par
ents at the age of TO- where they re-
sided for nine years. From Wisconsin
the family moved to the southern part
of Minnesota, coming to Stearns
comfy in, l867s, In the fall of 1869,
Oct. 29s she was married to John
Richardson's This union was blessed
| with two children, daughters. The
4 younger, Mrs. Leta Butler, who died
/ over six years ago, and the elder
4 Mrs, Geo. Bowman.
Sister Richardson joined the Meth
odist church in 1872 and has remained
! ed a member ever since. She was
quiet and unassuming but earnest in
her religious life. She met her mis-
! fortunes in an accomplishing spirit,
and through all her sickness retained
1 her faith in the providence of God.
Her Christian testimony was in no UNI
certain tone and her example was such
that those who knew her best can de-
1 dare she was worthy follower of her
Lord and Christ. We sorrow for our
loss, but we have no doubt that the
/ Christ that she loved has seen fit to
reward herewith the crown of life that
shall abide in the presence of God"
