PaJn in the Cheat, but It Didn't
Cau«e Death.
Mrs. Otto Yeager, living with her
tiusband at 644 Jackson street, was
Ifound dead in bed yesterday morning,
having died suddenly during- the night.
■JWr. Yeager slept beside his wife, but
knew nothing of her death until he
arose about 6 o'clock to prepare his
Iteam for his day's labor as an express
jnan. His wife did not move when he
grot up and thinking her asleep he went
to the barn, relying upon her to awake
ftnd prepare breakfast before his re
turn, as was her custom. Upon enter
ing the room half an hour later, Mr.
TFeager was surprised to find his wife
etllMn bed and spoke to her. Receiv
ing no answer, he became alarmed,
and hurrying to the bedside found her
Btill in death. She occupied a perfect
ly natural position, and had evidently
(died without a struggle.
Mr. Yeager was stunned by his dis
'fcovery for some time, but finally arous
ed his neighbors, who at once notified
Coroner Nelson of the death. Coroner
JCelson viewed the body at 6 o'clock
and ordered an autopsy held at the
undertaking rooms of H. H. Schroeder,
IS East Sixth street, at 4:30 p. m. It
Was expected that the examination

Would disclose the cause of death, but
wlii'ii the autopsy had been completes
the physicians found themselves con
fronted by an unusual condition of af
fairs. All of the organs of the body
wvre in a healthy condition, and no
cause of death had been found. The
Investigation did not include the stom
ach and its contents, and these were
removed intact, to be subjected to an
analysis, in order to ascertain if,
through accident, the dead woman had
partaken of anything of a poisonous
nature, or a diseased condition of the
stomach was responsible for her death.
The autopsy was conducted by Deputy
Coroners Heseelgrave and Ritchie in
the presence of Drs. Ohage, Finnell.

Brimhall, Park Ritchie and Nelson, all
of whom were satisfied that a cause of
death was not present, though a slight
; ly congested condition of some of the
' organs was found, which, however,
was thought to have ensued after
death. Coroner Nelson stated last
evening that an analysis of the con
tents of the stomach would be made
as soon as possible. In the meantime
the body of the dead woman was turn
ed over to the husband and will be
buried from the late residence tomor
row afternoon at 2 6'clock.
According to Mr. Yeager, his wife
died some time after 1 o'clock, as he
was awakened by hearing her moving
about the room at that hour and spoke
to her when she returned to bed. Re
calling this circumstance shortly after
finding her dead, the husband searched
the house in an effort to ascertain
whether she had by mistake or design
taken any poisonous medicines or
drugs, but could find no trace of any
thing of the kind. There had been
nothing of this nature kept about the
house and no recent purchases could be
discovered.
"My wife had been complaining of a
pain in her chest for several days,"
said Mr.Yeager to a reporter for the
Globe, "and Thursday she and I
went to stay at the home of my
brother-in-law, Albert Schroeder, 149
East Thirteenth street, so that she
could be relieved of the affairs of
housekeeping and get a rest. She went
to bed and remained there until Fri
day night, when she said she felt quite
well, and insisted upon our returning
home for the night. This was about a
o'clock. She was cheerful and ap
peared much recovered. We retired
about 10 o'clock and a few minutes
after 1 o'clock I woke up by hearing a
door shut. I found my wife was not
in bed, but a moment later she lay
down, replying to my question about,
her condition that she "felt all right."
She wjpnt to sleep and nothing hap
pened'to alarm me until I came back
from the barn after feeding my horses,
when she did not answer my calf/Then
I shook her gently, and, becoming
alarmed, I placed my hand over her
nostrils, when I though* I felt a faint
breath. This may have been my im
agination, however, as her body was
almost cold.
"In the face of the Coroner's investi
gations, I canot understand what could
have caused my wife's sudden death.
I am positive that she would not take
her own life by secretly administering
St. rviL's rnrftv senatorial, districts.
poison to herself, because, while she
was sick at times, she was never ser
iously ill, and we lived very happily to
gt-ther. Only recently she had been
buying new furniture for the house, and
we had discussed securing the services
of a physician for the trouble with
which she was effected, though we had
no idea what it was. No, my wife's
life was not insured, and I am sure she
died from natural or accidental causes."
Mrs. Schroeder, a sister of the dead
woman, with whom she was staying,
stated that she had found Mrs. Yeager
in the hallway of her own hou^e, Thurs
day noon, almost in the throes of
strangulation from a coughing fit. It
was she who had then suggested that
Mr. and Mrs. Yeager accept her hospi

The intense misery caused by dys
peptic troubles cannot be described.
The distress after eating, palpitation of
the heart, inability to sleep and other
symptoms use up or wear out so much
bodily strength that all ambition, en
ergy, and even hope seem lost. The
toning- and strength-giving qualities of
Hood's Sarsaparilla are Just what are
needed in such cases, as described In
Mrs. Smith's letter below:
"C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell. Mass.:
"I have been run down in health for
several years; was tired, languid and
had little or no ambition. After eating
I had a feeling of distress in my stom
ach like a lump of lead. I also suf
fered from pains in my forehead over
the eyes and in the small of my back.
Palpitation of the Heart
affected my sleep and I was not able
to sleep on my left side. I had doc
tored and taken different preparations
without realizing any good. I had read
of how Hood's Sarsaparilla had helped
many, and friends urged me to give
it a trial. I decided to do so.as the testt
monials of Its efficacy seemed so con
vincing. Before I had completed the
first bottle, I began to feel better and
the improvement continued!.
I Am Now Perfectly Well.
I do not have any pains In my forehead
or back, and am free from all palpita
tion of the heart so that I can sleep
well on either side. My food does not
| distress me and I have strength and
ambition for all the work I have to do.
I advise friends to take Hood's Sar
saparilla and I think there Is nothing
that will compare with It." Mrs. Ma

better. When Mrs. Yeager came to
her house, Mrs. Schroeder says she
went immediately to bed and remained
there until Friday night, when she
went home with her husband.
Asked if the dead woman had eaten
anything Friday before leaving the
house, Mrs. Schroeder said that Mrs.
Fred Meiers, who occupies a house in
the rear of Schroeder's. had brought
a sick woman a cup of chocolate and
several slices of bread about 6 o'clock.
Mrs. Yeager, she said, had drank nearly
all of the chocolate, but had eaten none
of the bread. Mrs. Schroeder says she
drank the remainder of the chocolate
herself before cleaning the cup to re
turn to Mrs. Meyers. The rest of Fri
day and that part of Thursday, when
she had been at her house, Mrs. Schroe
der says her sister ate and drank very
little, and only that which she had
prepared for her.
Mr. and Mrs. Yeager had been mar
ried but fifteen months. The dead
woman was twenty-six years old, and
there are no children. She was for
merly Miss Louisa Phillipson, having
been raised in St. Paul. Her parents

H«'a«l>^ for Business.
The Minnesota Beet Sugar Manufacturing
company w«l ftk**rtt**s»,oj incorporation irith
the secretary of state witsfn a few days, and
it is probable that % TSJ&ory will be built
between Minneapolis aiid St. Paul.
The company i*. -the fruit of the agitation
which has been going o# in behalf of the
beet sugar industry. The capital stock of the
company is $200,(K10 in Shares of $50 each. The
incorporates are: Theodore F. Kock, St.
Paul; John H. Smith, Detroit, Minn.: Henry-
Keller and R. J. O'Connor, of Sauk Center.
It is understood that two Wealthy Chicagoans
are interested in the company, representing
the Chicago Wholesale Grocers' association,
which is completely at the mercy of the
sugar trust and seek some avenue of escape.
A determined attempt will be made to se
cure the planting of enough seeds to justify
the erection of one on-HtfoTjictories this year.
The promoters of th* eoai|>any have already
interested the farms** thjjoughout the state
in the project and it is claitned that most sat
isfactory assurances of support and co-opera
tion have been received.
The sympathy for the movement Is espe
cially warm at Hastings, which city has al
ready offered a bonus for the erection of a
factory there. From this it looks as though
the first factory, to cost $250,C00, would be
located at that place.
Senator Keller, who has been particularly
active in behalf of the industry, presided at
a meeting yesterday in the senate chamber.
The greatest enthusiasm was manifested in
the subject and steps were taken to foster the
planting of sugar beets in Minnesota. Sev
eral thousand pamphlets nave been printed
in English, German and Scandinavian, under
the direction of Senator Keller, and they will
be distributed widely throughout the state.
The meeting resulted in the formation of
an association with the following officers:
President, Lieut. -Gov. John L. Gibbs; vice
president. Senator John H. Smith; secretary
and treasurer, Senator Henry Keller.

PHOTOGRAPH
Of Death May Be Retired l»y Tbls
<;<»rman Scientist*)! Dtxcovery.
The discovery of the so-called
Roentgen rays has been followed by
a sensational development, due to a
German scientist, Prof. E. Friedrich.
Prof. Friedrich was engaged in study
ing the practical application of the
Roentgen rays when he made a dis
covery which has produced a great
sensation in both scientific and in lay
circles, says a Vienna correspondent
of ihe New York Journal.
The professor succeeded In photo
graphing death— in other words, the
rays which he discovered enable it to
be definitely ascertained beyond a
shadow of a doubt when life actually
leaves a human body. Since these in
vestigations he has communicated his
discovery in a short letter to the Vien
na Imperial .Academy of Science.
At the present moment the medical
profession possesses no means of ab
solutely stating that death has taken
place. Doctors only draw their infer
ences in support of this view from the
appearance of certain changes in the
body. These, it is true, are usually
conclusive, but they are not infallible,
and there is always the possibility
that mistakes may be made and that
a person who is only apparently dead
may suffer the horrors of premature
interment.
Prof. Friedrich now affirms that the
rays which he has discovered — he calls
them Kritik rays— reveal with absolute
reliability the entrance of death into
the body. To quote his own words:
"The Kritik ray? are directed out of
a vacuum tube, and are so piercing that
they almost immediately penetrate the
body upon which for the purposes of
experiment the investigator has turn
ed them. Those rays produce images
on the photographic plate which are
of a different character according as
they are taken at a living or of a dead
body. The photographing of the hand
is the easiest experiment in test work
of this kind. If, when it Is laid on the
photographic plate and subjected to
the Kritik rays, it appears as a living
hand does under the Roentgen rays,
viz., with all the bones clearly distin
guished—then beyond question the per
son is alive. If, however, the hand
flefca not yield its characteristic form
under this process the person to whom
it belongs is undoubtedly dead.
"I have arrived at this result by a
whole series of experiments, which I
regard as absolutely reliable. The new
vacuum tu!>ea which thus serve for a
post-nartem diagnosis will have to t»
employed by every doctor."
