DOCTOR URGES
CARE Be TAKEN
OF PNEUMONIA
Health Official Advocates
Typing Cases to Cut
Mortality Rate.

The first heavy pneumonia wave
Of the winter led DR.. Herman H.
Morgan, city health board secretary,
to call public attention today to 81
indianapolis deaths from the disease
this month, and urge that physi-
clans take advantage of methods to
combat it.
Pneumonia is one of the greatest
health hazards to persons living in
the Middle West" said Dr. Morgan,
land Indianapolis has one of the
highest proportional death rates of
cities IN this part of the country.
In 1884 there were SGT pneumonia
deaths, and 1885 bids fair to equal
last years record.
In recent years serum has been
perfected to combat the two most
common types of the germ, which
has been found to infect 40 per cent
of afflicted persons" he continued.
Laboratory examination enables US
to type individual cases, and to pre-
scribe a serum where possible. City,
wide adoption of the system of typ
ing cases would lower the mortality
rate by at least 10 per cent. The
health department is planning
program which will offer a tipping
service to physicians who can not
afford the service of private labor
atory"

LIQUlDAIE STATE
BANK ASSETS ON
MINIMUM COSTS
81 Per Cent of Stock Claims
Collected; r. F. C. Loan
Paid in Full
Examiner Advises Creditors
Not to Sell Claims
to Spectators

The liquidation of the State
Bank and Trust Company of Red
wood Falls, closed by the board of
directors February 6, 1888, is pro-
crossing very satisfactorily, ac-
cording to information obtained
from George A. Johnson, special
deputy examiner in charge, who
conducts the affairs of the bank
under the supervision of Elmer A.
Benson, commissioner of banks.
From the closing of the trust to
April 1, 1885, expense Of liquid
alton has not exceeded one and
three-fourths per cent of the
amount collected. That expense,
which includes all salaries, mile
age, fuel and light, attorney fees,
department and miscellaneous ex-
pense, is remarkably low. The
present commissioner, Elmer A.
Benson, has established an eff
cient and economical system of
liquidation. In this particular in
stance, the splendid cooperation
which the depositors committee
has given the banking department
has contributed much to the sue
cess of the liquidation. A detail
ed statement on the liquidation of
the bank is issued semi-annually
January 1 and July l and is post
ed in the bank lobby for the
creditors information.
In the spring of 1884, the Re-
construction Finance corporation
advanced $172,93S on the assets
which was sufficient to pay the
creditors SO per cent of their
claims. The banking department
had previously paid a Is per cent
dividend, making total payment
Of 65 per cent. During January
1885, the loan from the Recon-
struction Finance corporation was
paid in full. In these depressed
times, it is remarkable how rapid
" the major portion of the assets
have been turned into cash for the
benefit of the creditors. Quite a
large amount of fairly good assets
remains. While the remaining
assets are slow, with improved
conditions a substantial amount
from which further dividends can
be paid should be realized on
them.
This trust has been quite unusual
from the standpoint of stock liza
bility collections in as much as 81
per cent of the stock liability has
been paid in to this date.
Mr.. Johnson wishes to advise
the creditors of closed banks that
there is an organization, pretend
ing to be we'll informed on future
liquidation, which offers a small
amount to depositors for assign
ment of their claims. Any cred
itor who receives such an offer
should inquire from the deputy
examiner in charge or write Ell
mer A. Benson, Commissioner of
Banks, st. Paul, before disposing
of his claimss.

Agree Property Taxes Should
be Cut But Oppose Sales
Tax Substitute

Redwood county farmers are al
most unanimous in their opposi-
tion to the three per cent sales
tax as proposed in the state legis-
lature, if results of votes under
the Growing plan at Farm Bureau
meetings in Underwood and
Johnsonville townships last week
are indicative of the general feel
ing.
Underwood voters turned the
proposal down Ia to 2 while john
sonville voters said no 20 to 1. On
the question of exempting all per-
sonal property from taxation, the
Underwood vote was to 8 to 8
while Johnsonville had 20 no votes
and 10 yes.
Asked if two-thirds mandate
of the voters should override de-
cisions of the legislature, Under
wood voters said yes 13 to 8 while
Johnsonville voters were unani-
nous for the proposal. Daylight
saving brought q unanimous no
vote there while Underwood was
Is to 1 against this bill. An egg

THIRD PAYMENT
BRINGS $4,000
TO AAA FARMER
$4,000 Remains of 100000
for Years Reductions;
More Speed Likely

With the arrival Saturday of
$123,0OO in corn-hog checks, re-
presenting nearly the entire third
payment, the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration had
nearly closed it's books on the 1884
program in Redwood county. The
checks are being distributed by
the county treasurer's office.
About $35, 900 remains on the
1884 contracts and is expected to
follow soon. When the program
is completed approximately $780,
900 will have been paid to 2,186
Redwood county contract signers.
The 1895 program will be speed
ed up compared to last year, with
payments expected to be made
more regularly. Considerable dis
content was expressed by the 1884
contract signers because of the
delay in the receipt of checks, but
profiting from the experience the
AAA has set up facilities which
will insure more favorable results.

HENRY CLUTH, ",
MORGAN, SURVIVOR
OF MASSACRE DIES
Was Wounded by Indians in
Attack When Only 8
Years of Age

Funeral services were held Mon
day at Morgan for Henry Gluth,
n year old survivor of the New
Ulm Indian massacre and a resi-
dent of Redwood county for 43
years, who died suddenly Friday
at the home of his son, Louis
Gluth. Because of the large at
tendance the services were held
in the city hall, Rev. H. A. Pot
hoff, pastor of the Methodist
church, officiating. Burial was in
the Morgan cemetery.
Mr.. Gluth had been visiting
with friends until late Friday af-
ternoon and on returning to his
sons home, with whom he had iv-
ed since the death of his wife a
few years ago, he complained of
feeling tired. He was put to bed
and a doctor was called, but he
died soon afterwards.
Mr.. Gluth was born in Milford
township near New Ulm, one of a
family of nine children. When he
was eight years old, Indians in
their raid on New Ulm, attacked
the Gluth home, wounding him in
the neck with rifle bullet and
killing an older brother. Carried
to safety by members of his fami-
ly, he remained for several days
in the basement Of his home. An
other brother, the late August
Gluth, was taken prisoner by the
Indians and was held captive
three months before escaping.
Mr.. Gluth was married to Miss
Hannah Rieke June 10, 1881 in
West Newton township and farm
ed there for about eight years. He
also operated a blacksmith shop.
The couple moved onto a 22O farm
three miles south of Morgan
in 1892 and later to Morgan where
Mr.. Gluth engaged in the black
smith and concrete mixing trade.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gluth celebrated
their golden wedding anniversary
in 1881.
Besides his son he is survived
by three daughters, Miss Martha
Gluth, Mrs. Agnes Waidelich and
Mrs. Rose Sandman of Morgan;
three sisters, Mrs. Minnie Rose
nau Of Sleepy Eye, Mrs. Pauline
Geske Of New Ulm and Mrs.
Bertha Rieke Of Minneapolis;
four grandchildren and three
great grandchildren. The male
