Lieutenants Albert Steinhauser and

evening to be examined before the mil.
itary board. The former passed with
a percentage of 81 and the latter Sc.
This is very good standing and excel
lent when it is considered that the new
officers only had four days after their
election in which to make themselves
familiar with the tactics.
Sunday was Children's day and was
generally observed as such in the vari.
GUS churches. At the Congregational,
Rev. Nobis preached an appropriate
morning sermon and in the evening the
exercises, consisting in songs, recita-
tions and entertaining class exercises,
were conducted by the children. The
church was beautifully decorated with
flowers and, as was intended, the little
ones were all made happy.
A young man, giving the name of I.
S. Wright, and who has been passing
himself off as a post-office inspector,
was arrested here last Friday on COM
plant of Congressman Lind. The au-
thorities have apparently made good
haul as the man gives evidence of being
not only a fraud but a crook of the first
water. He has been visiting various
towns in the state under assumed names
and at Henderson, recently, he promised
the post office to one of the aspiring
candidates, Mr., Lind was informed of
this of course and was on the lookout
for him. Early Friday morning Mr..
Wright arrived at CORTLAND and asked
to examine the accounts of Postmaster
Bobsin, which he was allowed to do.
He found everything o. k. and adj
dressed postal card to the postmaster
general. recommending that Mr.. Bob
sin be retained in office. This excited
suspicion in the postmaster and he de-
tanned the card, came at once to New
s. Ulm and informed Lind of the matter.
| As the Inspector was also booked for
this place Mr.. Bobsin invited him to
ride with him, which he did. On arriy-
ing here he addressed letter to himself
as post-office Inspector at Essing, Min
nesota, but as there is no station Of that
I name, Mr.. Baasen doubted the genuine
ness both of the name and the address,
At the request of Mr.. Lind this letter
also was detained, and the inspector
sought up, and interviewed. As a
\ member of the congressional committee
on post-offices, Mr.. Lind asked to see
his commission, which he refused to
show. His refusal to give an account
! of himself was considered sufficient
I ground for his arrest and he was at
once put into custody. The post-ofice
department was telegraphed to and in
structions were received to hold the man
until some one was sent to look into
