War says: The number OF assertions

against 2.75l for the same period last

result Is due TO such improvements In

assertions are already greatly re-
duccd SO long as they continue In any
considerable numbers they must have
bad effect upon the morale OF the
army and entail "a large and needless
expense. The practical solution OF
this somewhat vexed question assumes
three phases: First. how TO make the
service more desirable: second how

Last night, about two o'clock, Mrs.
Oscar Taylor, wife of County Attorney
Taylor, was awakened by a<Hoise in her
room. She was badly frightened upon
discovering that burglar had entered
the apartment, and, instead of obeying
his command to keep still, she screamed.
This awakened Mr.. Taylor who was
sleeping in an adjoining room, but the
midnight visitor, taking the alarm, sue
ceeded in making his escape by jumping
over the banister and going out through
a back door. Officer Barrel was notified,
but failed to find the man. Upon invest
igation it was found that the burglar
had effected his entrance by cutting the
wire of screen door in the rear of the
house, the door proper being kept open.

Word was received the other day
from Manning Garfield of Long Prairie,
that he had lost mare and colt, and
suspected they had been stolen by man
driving through the country, as he had
been seen with the animals following
him, and requested officer Murphy to in
yestigate the alleged theft. Officer Muir
ply succeeded in identifying the man as
having passed through the city the day
previous, taking the western road, and
he started in pursuit, overtaking the fel-
low near New Munich. He gave his
name as N. P. Swensen of ST. Paul, who
had been engaged in railroad work on
the Northern extension, and was then on
his way home to St. Paul. He said the
mare and colt had followed him for a
long distance, he having some horses in
town, and that he had not only tried to
turn her back, but had requested several
farmers whom he passed to take them
back. Investigation proved that he had
told the exact facts In the case, and thai
he hadrepeatedly attempted to turn them
back and finally succeeded. Mr.. Garfield
found the animals as indicated, and thor.
oughly exonerated Swenson from any
blame. He was delayed at Melrose for 9
day pending the investigation, and went
his way rejoicing. He regretted the de

with Geo. w. Stewart as chairman, and
Mrs. 7. E. Hamlin, stenographer and

complainant TO procure witnesses. The
investigation has not yet been finally
commenced. J. D. Sullivan represents
Judge Bruener. and H. J. Peck of Shake

Schapps named dozen witnesses which
he desired summoned, among whom were
Barney Vossberg, county auditor, and
John Hoeschen of Freeport. The St..
Cloud Times says, relative to the meet
ing of the commission:
Chairman Stewart asked MIR. Bruener
if he had any witnesses which he desired
to have summoned. To this the Judge
replied that he had not at present. He
might rest his case at the conclusion of
the examination OF the witnesses for the

back to his previous request, don't
think would have any objection to testi-
tying before this commission"

about it," said Schapps taking the pipe
out of his mouth which he was smoking.
"What did they go to the Governor
| for then?" some one asked.
"That is just what we want to find
out?" replied Judge Bruener.

conversation between Schapps and the
commission. During this rambling talk
