GIRLS BODY FOUND HANGING
IN BASEMENT.

Miss Rose Weber, employed as a
maid at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Alvah Eastman, Fifth Avenue South,
st. Cloud, committed suicide by hang
ing about five o'clock on last Thurs
day afternoon. Her body vas found,
suspended from the ceiling Of the
basement by a rope, when members of
the family went to the basement. Eff
forts were made to revive her, but
without success Two notes were later
found, one to the people for whom she
worked telling them to "find me in the
cellar and shed no tears for me-" and
another to her brother Joe at Tower,
Minnesota, telling him not to shed
tears for her, but to forget her soon
and sending him her love.
The Weber family formerly lived at
Kimball. The mother of the girl died a
few years ago and recently their home
was broken up as a result Of misfor-
tune and hard times. Friends of the
young lady attribte her rash act to
temporary insanity due to her worry
over the financial affairs of her father
and brothers.

NEW YORK JURIES BEGIN KHAN
INQUIRY.

New York.-Two grand juries were
to begin investigation of the Ku Klux
Khan in New York city.
The investigations were ordered by
Judge Francis x. Mancuse Of the court
of general sessions following reliance
by the Klan of Mayor John Hylan's
orders not to organize here.
Judge Mancso, speaking before the
%juries, declared the attempted inva-
sion Of New York by the Khan is not
aimed only at Negros, Jews and Catho-
lies, but all those who do not accept
the Klan's principles"
The Judge read statues concerning
conspiracy and prohibiting the assem-
blage Of disguised persons. He bitter
ly scored the influence and power Of
the Ku Klux Khan as "sinister."
Meanwhile, organizers of the Klan
from secret headquarters were report
er to be continuing their enlistment
of Klansmen here.

Mrs. Elizabeth Lenger, widow of
Matthias Lenger, died at her home in

IN MISHAP.

Forced to leap from a burning
coupe, while driving on the paved
highway near this city, Mr.. and Mrs.
Herman Schooner are congratulating
themselves that they received no in
juries as a result of their thrilling ex-
p%erience. Mr.. and Mrs. Schooner were
returning from Minneapolis when the
mishap occurred. Just east Of Clear
Lake the fire was discovered and Mr..
Schooner threw on the brakes. The
road was slippery and the car skidded,
while flames started to break up thru
the floor of the machine, warming up
the toes of the occupants. The car
lurched toward the side of the road
and Mr.. and Mrs. Schooner jumped
to safety just as it was about to go in
to the ditch. The car was completely
demolished.

PROCEEDINGS IN DISTRICT

District court is grinding slowly.
The prospects are for a very light and
unimportant term. The grand jury has
completed it's labors, and brought in
it's final report last Saturday, and
were discharged by Judge Roeser. The
indictments returned are for light Of
fences only, and Stearns County is
to- be congratulated at the condition Of
affairs in relation to criminal mat
tiers. There are few counties in the
state that can make a better showing
in spite of the hard times and the
notorious Volstead law. 1t takes the
staid old German stock to furnish a
law-abiding citizenry.
The civil cases for the past week
were of small moment, and were either
settled or continued. This week prom

CONGRESSMAN KNUTSON TELLS
THE TRUTH.

Harold Knutson, congressman from
this district, told the sycophantic
mothpieces of Wayne B. Wheeler what
the effect Of the Volstead law was,
when the question came up Of allowing
millions for so-called law enforcement.
It aroused a storm on the side Of the
slaves of the drys, but probably open
ed their eyes. The conditions created
by this law are appalling, and call for
plain speaking. We only hope that our
congressman will stick to his text, and
not allow himself to be intimidated,
like Harding. It is high time that men
assert their manhood, and tell there
hypocritical misrepresentation what
we are drifting to. Laws that are to
be respected must in the first place be
respectable. The Volstead law is not
in that class.

THE SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.

Tho house Of representatives has passed the ship subsidy
bill, with some amendments, and 1T is now IN the hanos OIL oe
Judiciary committee of the senate. 1t is likely TO nave d halo
time in the senate, and may fail Of passage.
There is no question that the foreign nations that are now
leading in ship tonnage are extremely ANXIOUS that 'nele1
he no American marine. Undoubtedly they are exertmg all
their Influence in certain quarters to encourage the oppos1tloh
to this bill, Every day that we delay in taking our proper place
in the shipping world is that much benefit to them. That pro
position is too plain for argument.
What plausible objection con there be to this Dill? 10
NO not want a merchant marine? Can anyone deny the great
benefits that will come to this country from such an acqusl-
Consider the demand for skilled labor at the %shipyards build
;no these ships: and the demand for American sailors and
officers to man them. Think Of the money that is paid for the
carving charges that will stay in this country, instead OF
going abroad.
If is it good thing, and there is no doubt of this, then we
ought to have it.
But we cannot have it without subsidy, and we might as
foreign labor is too strong, especially as it is aided IN every
way BY the influences that want to prevent us getting a mer-
chant marine. No one objects to a protective tariff that aids
and develops American industries. The subsidy plan is the
only way to protect, encourage and develop American ship
ping; there is no other practical way. Then why not have
it as soon as possible.
We were very much disappointed at the attitude OF the
one had good sense enough to support it. Are: the others
friendly to foreign nations that are DESTROYS of the defeat OF
this bill? If so, why?

"'While evidence was insufficient to

TWO NEW CURES SAVE LIES OF
PATIENTS

New York.-Two cures said to be
remarkable were announced by two
hospitals today. In a New York hos
pital a new insulin treatment from the
pancreas of a pig, just perfected by
DR.. F. C. Banting Of the University OF
Toronto, was used with success in a
case Of diabetic coma.
In the second case, reported by St.
Marks hospital, a serum, discovered
by DR.. Benjamin Jablous of this city,
was used with success in a case of
gangrene or Genaud's disease.
In the diabetic coma case the pa
tient, a boy, is now on the road to
recovery and, according to the hospital
authorities, this is the first case On
record in the annals Of medicine in
this city where a patient has been res
cued from death when diabetic coma
had set in.
In the serum case, the life of a rail-
road engineer, suffering from gan
grene, was saved. Edward Trainor of
Ossining, N. Y, had both feet frozen
10 years ago. Gangrene resulted and
later he had to have both legs removed
at the knees. Last month the trouble
settled in his hand and two of his
fingers were a%mputated. Three weeks
ORR ho coroo m Nou York S,1nerin-
tendent Rathenau of St. Marks hospi-
tai said the treatment was successful
Trainor has returned to Ossining and

PLANS FOR AUTO SHOW.

The second annual auto show will

Febrary. It is expected to hold the
show at about the time the exposition
closes at Minneapolis. There will be
increased floor space for the automo-
bile show this year. Major John Car

Managers Osborne and Benson that
a balcony holding about 800 persons
will probably be constructed in the
armory building by the first Of Feb
ruary. Mr.. Benson is Of the opinion
that the dealers are more enthused
over the proposition than last year,
and that a large number Of dealers
have already requested floor space.

CARGO.

Washington.-Oficials of the ship
ping board have made public certain
particulars of the recent voyage Of
the American cargo steamer Manhat-
tan Island, from the Levant to New
York, which they consider splendid
proof that American ships are going
to establish a foothold in this impor-
tant trade of the worlds high e "a com
merce. Besides bringing a valuable
cargo to this country, the landing was
a plum for Uncle Sam, since more
than $2,000,0 900 customs duties was le-
wed on her cargo of Turkish tobacco,
rugs, figs, and other luxuries from the
near east.

WIFE AND CHILD DISCRETION.

One Of the great evils Of this age and generation is the
desertion of wife and children. Hundreds Of cases Of this kind
occur in every state every year. And if the offender is caught
and punished, it does not help the deserted wife or child if he
is cast behind the bars. Their struggle for existence is just
as hard as before.
Some of these desertions are the inevitable result Of hasty
and i'll considered marriages. Too little thought is given to the
practical side of life. A romatnic attachment is taken as all
that is necessary, and no attention is paid to the question
whether the man is of good character and able to support a
wife and children.
Sometimes lack Of employment and the pressure Of debts
drives a man to desertion. Sometimes the home life has be-
come uncongenial or unpleasant. There may in some cases
be fault on the part of the wife. ~
But in every case the desertion stamps the man as a moral
coward. And this moral cowardice in his makeup makes it
all the more difficult to accomplish any remedy. There is so
little foundation on which to construct a reform.
Some sociologists advocate corporal punishment as a de-
torrent, and they may be right. Perhaps, the only way to get
a craven to live up to his duties is to put the fear Of the lash
and whipping post into his system.
The eventual results of such desertion are most serious.
How many deserted wives have ruined their health in trying
to support themselves and the children. How many children
have become ruined in body or soul throughAthe lack Of care
both mutually and physically on account of not having a
father to do his part. Indeed, the reckoning that the deserter
has to face some day may be far worse than if he had stayed
and faced the music, instead of running away.

A movement is on foot to consoli-

there is quite a sentiment in favor Of

the Kiwanis Club. This club is COM
posed Of the most progressive element
Of this city, and there is hesitation
to surrender the position it has occu-
pied in the civic life Of the city. Com
mittees of the various organizations

PROHIBITION IN TURKEY.

The desirability Of prohibition has at last been recog-
nized. Turkey has established it on a government policy. We
would suggest to our dear friends, the drys, that they celebrate
the event. What a fattering testimonial! =
The "unspeakable Turk, - the murderer and ravisher Of
children and women, has Joined their ranks. Why not invite
the Turk over here, to give lectures all over the United States,
telling us how it is done. If he fourished a bloody scimitar
at the same time, it ought to produce a fine effect. We con
graduate the prohibition forces on their glorious achievement.
Perhaps, they should now turn to the Senegalese ravishers Of
the women of Germany, and have them also come under the
dry banner.

MRS. OBENCHAIN AND BURCH
ARE SET FREE.

Los Angeles.-Mrs Madalynn Con-
nor Oberchain and Arthur Courtney
Burch, indicted more than a year ago
for the murder Of J.. Bolton Kennedy,
were free today.
Burch, however, was placed under
arrest on an insanity warrant issued
by Judge John w. Shenk as the result
of an affidavit made by Burch's chief
counsel, Paul w. Shcenck.
. Madalynne was free to go where
ever she wished. Burch was at once
taken to the p~sychopathic ward Of the
county hospital.
District Attorney Thomas Lee Wool
wine Immediately moved for dismissal
of the charges against Burch and Mrs.
Obenchain. He gave as his a the
fact that five juries had tried the is
sues in the case and has been unable
to reach a verdict. He felt it was
fruitless to try the issues again.
II am convinced that Burch is in
sane," said Mr.. Schenk, "and have
been convinced of it ever since l talked
to him first, more than a year ago. I
feel it is nothing less than my duty
to ask that he be tried by a jury who
can determine whether he is sane or
insane"
Thus ended the case that has caused
eight months of trials, the impanelling
Of six %juries, and which has cost the
county at least $4,000.

It is now thought that the other fires were also %incendiary
in character. The State Fire Marshall is investigating the
matter. 1t is thought that it is the work Of some crank who is
opposed to education. The state carries, its own insurance and
the loss will have to be borne by the people of the state. No
pains or expense should be spared in probing into these mat
tiers, and every effort made to a%pprehend the miscreants. Be
sides the financial loss there is the loss Of the educational ad-
vantages to the young people until the schools can be rebuilt.
That can never be estimated in dollars and cents, nor can the
actual loss be even appropriated.

SHIPSTEAD OPPOSES BUTLER.

The opposition to Pierce Butler for associate justice OF
the supreme court is again active. They have as their spokes-
man our newly elected senator Henrick Shipstead. The objec-
TONS that are openly voiced are that he is by association and
training essentially a corporation lawyer, and would bring
his predictions and %prejudices into the court chambers. We
think these objections are almost puerile. There are some
whisperings from the outside that the real ground for the OBJ
jections is on account of the religious belief of Mr.. Butler. If
there is any truth in that then we regret doubly that Mr..
Shipstead has allowed himself to become mixed up in it. We
also think that it does not come with the best of grace for him
to take an active part in this matter at all, when he does not
become senator until March. This matter could have been
placed in the hands Of some one else.
