ee NEW CLEW IN NEW ULM CASE LIFTS SUSPICION FROM SOME BUT DEEPENS THE MYSTERY. SAYS HE SAW THE MURDERER rs SHOEMAKER SAW STRANGER EN- TER THE DEAD MAN’S OFFICE. _New Ulm, Minn., Nov. 26. — A new clue which has been discovered in the Gebhardt murder case lifts suspicion which has rested on certain residents of this city, but also serves to deepen the mystery surrounding the tragedy. Anton Horsack, a shoemaker, while returning up town from his shop on the night of the crime, between the hours of 9 and 10 o'clock, saw going up the stairs leading to Dr. Gebhardt’s office a man who answered closely the description of the murderer as given by Mr. Brooks. Mr. Horsack was only a few yards beyond the stairway when he Met the Stranger coming across the street with a hand- kerchief held against his cheek as though he were suffering from tooth- ache or was trying to hide his fea- tures. Horsack thought he recognized the man as some one with whom he had a nodding: acquaintance, and spoke to him in German. He received no re sponse, and, after passing on a few steps, became angry and turned to get a better view of the apparent stranger. It was then he saw the man enter the stairway door; pause, and cast a hur- ried glance up the street. The cobbler is sincere in his story, and the detectives are at work trying to unearth some evidence that will lead to the discovery of the man de- ecribed. HUNTER INSTANTLY KILLED. Mistaken for a Deer and Shot by an Unknown. Rhinelander, Wis., Nov. 26.—James Knapp, a young hunter of Oshkosh, Wis., was shot and instantly killed near Hobson while hunting deer with a companion. The men were on a runway and Knapp, becoming chilled, started to walk out into an open clearing when a bullet crashed through his body, causing instant death. The identity of the man who shot him is unknown. HOT FIRE IN BEMIDJI. Swedebach Building, Including Sev- eral Stores, Is Burned. Bemidji, Minn., Nov. 26. — The Swedebach block burned to the ground yesterday afternoon. The building was but veneered and the fire proved obstinate.

Eveleth, Minn,, Nov. 29. — Frank Palchner, who was supposedly shot while at an Austrian wedding a week ago, died yesterday from the effects of two revolver bullets in the chest. It is now known from a reliable source that he was not present at the wed- ding, as at first reported, and further- more, it is almost positively known that his assailant was an Austrian who has fled the country. The authentic story of the shooting differs consider- ably from that told at first. Palchner was going home at 3 a. m. from the up- town saloons when he came upon two or more men in a drunken fight. He attempted to act as peacemaker, and one of the men told him to mind his own business. Shots were fired and Palchner fell helpless. He was taken to his boarding house and a priest was called. The priest succeeded in getting the information which brought out the true story. SUSPECTS ARE IDENTIFIED. Three Men Accused of Hold-up and Murder in Minneapolis. Minneapolis, Nov. 29.—Orlin Kalder- wit, alias Calderwood; John Kolb and Charles Hammond are held at the cen- tral police station on suspicion of be- ing implicated in the murder of little Freddie King, who was killed at the time of the hold-up at Mingo’s saloon in Anoka county Tuesday night. Four persons who were present at the time of the robbery are positive in their identification and three others were al- most convinced that the right men have been taken into custody. Another man who was in the saloon a moment before the robbery and met the men in front of the place saw Kalderwit at the station and is certain that he was one of the trio he saw on the walk. The names of the witnesses are with- held by Sheriff Palmer and Chief Con- roy, but if the three men are held for trial they will be on hand. BOYS PERISH WHILE TRAPPING. Party Searching Lake Discovers One of the Bodies Under Hole in Ice. Anoka, Minn., Nov. 29.—Two sons of D. G. Emmons of St. Francis, aged fourteen and fifteen years, were drowned Saturday morning in a small pond a mile east of St. Francis, where they had gone to trap muskrats. The boys had started early in the morning, intending to return home in time for dinner, and when they did not appear at that time a search was instituted for them by the parents. The search- ing party went to the lake, where two holes in the ice were found, which in- dicated in what way the boys had met death. At one of the holes one body was recovered and brought back to St. Francis. The coroner has been notified and an endeavor will be made to re- cover the body of the other boy. SCARES BANK ROBBERS. Before Burglars Can Get Into Safe Gitizen Gives Alarm. Forest Lake, Minn., Nov. 29. — The Forest Lake State bank was burglar- ized between 2 and 3 o'clock Satur- day morning. Leon Nadeau heard an explosion and, in spite of a warning from the robbers to “get back inside or be shot,” he gave the altrm in such short time that the burglars got no further than destroying the vault. The safe is uninjured. S. W. Struble is cashier of the bank. They pried open the front door. The damage to the vault doors and plate glass windows amounts to $200. The robbers made their escape toward the lake. MORE DIPPING STATIONS. South Dakota Legislature May Pro- vide Against “Scab.” Huron, S. D., Nov. 29.—Farmers and stockmen are seriously discussing the advisability of special legislation by the legislature looking to the eradica- tion of diseases among cattle, particu- larly that known as “scab.” Some trouble has resulted from the disease, and a number of farmers have resorted to the dipping process with excellent results. It is proposed to ask the state to establish dipping stations at conven- ient places, under the direction of a competent superintendent and inspec- tor. 4 RANCH HAND MISSING. quiry Is Likely. Sturgis, S. D., Nov. 29. — Word has been brought to Sturgis that Charles Harmon, employed for more than a year on the ranches of Steve Nichols horse, saddle and other property were not taken. A proposition to raise a fund to prosecute an investigation is being urged. Cut Down in Time. Sioux Falls, 8. D., Nov. 29.—Thomas Hall, the Missourian who was sen- tenced to life imprisonment in the Sioux Falls penitentiary, and who re- cently became insone, was frustrated in an attempt to end his life. He got possession of a small piece of rope, with which he attempted to hang him- self. He was discovered by a night watchman, and he was cut down in time to save his life. Pending his ‘transfer to the asylum a constant watch is now maintained over him. Leaves Property Behind Him and In-| and William McFarland, on Elk creek, | Meade county, has disappeared. His ; CITIZENS FIRE UPON ROBBERS. One Robber Is Fatally Wounded in Bloody Duel. Sioux City, Iowa, Nov. 30.—As a Te sult of a battle between robbers and citizens at Fonda, Iowa, at an early hour yesterday morning, one of the robbers lies dying in Fonda and an- other has fled to the east, leaving a trail of blood. At 3 o’clock yester- day morning Mrs. David Lykins, who lives across the street from the Fonda creamery, heard an_ explosion, and woke her husband. He took his rifle and dropped off the roof into the alley in the rear and woke Frank Conroy, James Mallison and Marshal Charles Conn. The four secreted themselves between two buildings and presently the unsuspecting robbers entered Sargent’s store, just across the street. When they came out the citizens opened fire. The robbers answered, but soon they were fleeing. One of them was felled by a shot from Ly- kins’ rifle, and dropped $38.88 and some groceries, all the booty taken by the robbers. He was shot through the liver and cannot live. A second robber applied for admission at Mrs. Baird’s home, east of here, saying he was hurt. She refused to let him in, but found a quantity of blood on the porch in the morning. The tthird rob- ber escaped without injury. ARMED MEN ON’ GUARD. Authorities Anticipating an Outbreak at Chisholm, Minn. Duluth, Minn., Nov. 30. — Thirty deputy sheriffs armed with Winches- ter rifles are standing guard at the stripping contracts of Drake & Strat- ton and Killorin-Philbin works at Chisholm, having been summoned there from Duluth by reason of threats made by the strikers who went out a few days ago because their demand for an increase in pay from $1.75 to $2 was not granted. All day yesterday wild rumors were floating over the mining town to the effect that the strikers haye five kegs of dynamite in their possession and that they propose to use it in destroy- ing the works if the companies do not come to their terms. Yesterday as a number of the ringleaders were ap- proaching the works of the Killorin- Philbin company they were halted by the deputies and asked what they proposed doing. They were taken completely off their guard when they saw the officers with their weapons and were told that unless they want- ed trouble they would better return to work to do so. Several meetings at different times were held in and about Chisholm yesterday and last night, and the authorities are antici- pating an outbreak at any time. ALLEGED FORGER SENTENCED. J. H. Wilson, Wanted in Twin Cities, Goes Up for Four Years. Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 30. — Four years in the penitentiary is the sen- tence imposed upon J. H. Wilson, an alleged expert forger who has been in the county jail in this city for some time, and who is wanted by the au- thorities of the Twin Cities, Sioux City, Dubuque and other places. Wil- son pleaded guilty to the charge of assault with a dangerous weapon, and it was upon this charge that he was sentenced. Two other charges still stand against him here, that of forgery and for attempting to break jail.. FORT FUGITIVE CAPTURED. One of the Privates Who Broke Jail | at Meade Is Cought. | Sturgis, S.

They show a plurality for Roosevelt larger than the first returns indicated. His vote is almost four times as large as that cast for Parker. The vote cast for minor candidates will not be as- certained until the state canvassing board has met, but the vote for Debs is likely to reach 25,000. The final figures have reduced John- son’s plurality for governor. The last counties reporting gave a larger vote for Dunn than was estimated. The re- turns now show that outside of Henne- pin county Dunn got a plurality of 611, and outside of Hennepin and Ramsey he led Johnson by 1,725. Dunn carried forty-three counties, and Johnson forty. In 1902 Van Sant carried seventy-six counties and only six gave pluralities for Rosing. In 1900, when Van Sant and Lind ran so close, Van Sant carried forty-five coun- ties and Lind thirty-seven. Dunn carried only three congres- sional districts, getting his heaviest plurality in the Eighth, while the First district gave him only 1,956 and the Seventh district just 225 votes more than Johnson. Two districts gave Johnson an equally small lead, the Second district showing him 281 to the good, and the Ninth just 150. Cur- iously enough, these three close dis- tricts are all on the western boundary of the state. They are all heavily Re- publican. Johnson carried the Third district by 2,671, getting pluralities in seven of the nine counties. The Fourth went for Johnson by 994, the very small pluralities for Dunn in Chisago and Washington not being sufficient to off- set Johnson’s lead in Ramsey. The Sixth gave Johnson 3,042, the counties outside of Stearns being almost a standoff. The official county totals on presi- dent and on governor are as follows: President. Governor.

Three of the largest and most im- portant exhibits shown by Minnesota at the St. Louis world’s fair will be re- turned to the state to be made perma- nent exhibits for the education of vis- itors to the state. One of the most expensive exhibits and one which attracted universal at- tention at the big St. Louis show was the mining exhibit shown by Minne- sota at the fair. The exhibit consisted of a display of all the minerals and stones contained in Minnesota’s earth, and chief among its attractions was a model of the city of Duluth, the recog- nized mining center of the state. This, madeé by S. George Stevens of Duluth, nowW superintendent of the Minnesota commission’s exhibit at the fair, was done in minerals and ores and attract- ed the attention of people from all over the world. Another model shown was a minia- ture of the aFyal mine, the great min- ing property located in St. Louis county. The stone exhibit includes granite, sandstone, Kasota stone, and, in fact, every marketable variety of stone produced in the state. It was in- cluded with the mineral exhibit, and the whole cost about $15,000. It is now planned to return this en- tire exhibit to Minnesota and to in- stall it in the school of mines at the state university, where it can be utili- ized by the students as well as being an education to the public. Minnesota’s educational exhibit was one of the best in its field at the fair, and it received many favorable com- ments from edcators everywhere. It is probable that this exhibit will also be returned to the state and given into the custody of J. W. Olsen, state su- perintendent of public instruction. If there is room for its adequate display it will be installed in the department of education at the new state capitol. FAIR MANAGERS HAVE CASH LEFT Forthcoming Report Will Show a Good Balance. “The annual report of the board of managers of the state fair, which will be out soon, will show a cash balance of nearly $50,000, within $10,000 of the figures of last year, when the fair re- ceipts were extraordinarily large,” said E. W. Randall, secretary of the Minnesota State Agricultural society. “This showing is much better than we had expected, in view of the stormy weather which prevailed during the fair, and we are all very much pleased. I expected that this year’s balance would be at least $20,000 less than a year ago, when the fair broke all records. It seems, however, that the board made up a large part of the ex- pected deficiency. We gained consid- erably on concessions, and the ex- penses in many ‘departments were less than a year ago. “We expended about $40,000 for re- pairs and permanent improvements last year, and we shall be able to pay back at least $30,000 of this out of this year’s balance. We are naturally very much pleased to do as well as this, considering the rainy weather which prevailed at the fair.” The annual meeting of the society will be held Jan. 10,11 and12. The society will considér at this time im- provements to be made next year. It is probable that the legislature will be asked to appropriate money for a new amphitheater, and buildings of minor importance may be constructed. SWELL THE THREASURY. Board of Control Turns in October Re- ceipts. The state board of control has made report to the state auditor of Miscellaneous receipts for the month of October. The total receipts were $20,745.16, and as usual the Stillwater prison is the largest contributor to the fund. Collections at the prison for the month were $6,116.13. The state uni- versity, which reported receipts up to Nov. 15, turned in a larger sum than the prison, but the report covered a period of six weeks instead of four, as in the case of the other state institu- tions. Following are the institutions, with their earnings for the month: Hastings asylum «+ $267 45 Fergus Falis hospital. 701 42 Rochester hospital . 2,926 07 St. Peter hospital . 556 88 Faribault school for if e 26 50 ‘Faribault school for the deaf. 271 42 Faribault school for the feeble- minded ..

Boy Loses His, Life Within Duluth City Limits. Duluth, Nov. 29.—A promising young life was sacrificed to some hunters’ carelessness when a bullet struck down George Wendt yesterday fore- noon. The name of his slayer is un- known. Coroner Boyer is‘investigating. The boy’s body was found in the woods by other hunters about a mile from the poor farm and four miles from the city. The accident occurred in the corporate limits of Duluth. A Ship-shape Piano. A West Indian sea captain was ask- ed by his wife to look at some pianos while he was in New York with a view of buying her one. He wrote home as follows: “I saw one that I thought would suit you—black walnut hull, strong bulkheads, strengthened fore and aft with iron frame, lined with white wood and maple. Rigging steel wire—double on the ratlines and whip- ped wire on the lower stays and heavy cordage. ‘ Belaying pins of steel and well driven home. Length of taffrail over all, six feet one inch; breadth of beam, thirty-eight inches; depth of hold, fourteen inches. Hatches can be battened down against ten-year-old boys or can be clewed up and sheeted home for a first-class instrumental cy- clone.’—New York Press. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the dis eased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is constitutional remedies.

He has perfect teeth, white and even as yours, my dear.” “But I drink with him often at the club. I ought to know,” persisted Parkay, who would not yield his point through flattery. Mrs. Parkay shrugged her shoul- ders. She is not an argumentative woman. “Simplest thing in the world,” my boy,” said Leading Mann to Parkay at the club next day. “There is no long- er any excuse for an actor or actress appearing on the stage with teeth that look bad. The latest is a makeup for the teeth called temporary ivory . It hides gold filling or blackened teeth for one performance all right, unless an actor has to go through a supper scene or drink something. When the performance is over it washes off as easy as any other makeup.”—New York Press. I watched him closely as Wide Awake Game Birds. The little boy and his father were gazing at the specimens of stuffed birds and animals in the taxidermist’s window. Among them was a number of game birds mounted on oak panels, hanging head down as though depend- ing from a nail. They were supposed to represent game that had been shot for the table, such as a brace of wood- cock, snipe af bob whites. “Father,” remarked the little boy, “those birds are not dead. Look at their eyes!” Herein the little boy was more observant than the taxidermist, who had put bright, life-like wax eyes into birds tht were supposed to be dead. The fault is observable in many pieces of this kind that have been mounted to grace the walls of a din- ing room or hall.—New York Sun. A Teacher’s Testimony. Hinton, Ky., Nov. 28.—(Special.)— It has long been claimed that Diabe- tes is incurable, but Mr. E. J. Thomp- son, teacher in the Hinton school, has pleasing evidence to the contrary. Mr. Thompson had Diabetes. He took Dodd’s Kidney Pills and is cured. In a statement he makes regarding his cure Mr. Thompson says: “I was troubled with my kidneys for more than two years and was treated by two of the best doctors in this part of the state. They claimed I had Diabetes and there was little to be done for me. Then I started to use Dodd’s Kidney Pills and what they did for me was wonderful. It is entirely owing to Dodd’s Kidney Pills that I am now enjoying good health.” Many doctors still maintain that Diabetes is incurable. But Diabetes is a kidney disease, and the kidney disease that Dodd’s Kidney Pills will not cure has yet to be discovered. A TEACHER’S LAST RESORT. What She Did When Denied Use of Corporal Punishment. The prohibition of corporal punish- ment,in the public schools puts the teachers of unruly pupils to their wits’ ends sometimes to preserve discipline. A seven-year-old boy who goes to school in Harlem came home the other day in a state of great excitement. “Mamma,” he said, “Jimmy Brown most got his nose pinched off to-day. He sits next to me, and he pinched his nose and breathed through his mouth and made an awful noise, and he wouldn’t stop, so teacher sent out and got a big pair of iron pinchers that go up with a screw, and she called Jimmy up and said she was going to pinch his nose right off, so he could carry it home in his hand.
