NOT GUILTY.
S. J. HOber is Cleared Of the
Terrible Charge Against
Him-.-JOhn Phillips
ON Trial.

The jury in the case Of S. j.. Hober,
who was charged with rape, retired at
noon. and at 2:l5 o'clock this after
noon brought in verdict of not
guilty. Mrs Hober. who was in the
court room at the time, misunder-
stood the nature of the verdict and
tainted, but was quickly revived.
The jury took ten ballots. The
first ballot stood seven for acquittal
and five for conviction,
The verdict will be upheld by those
who heard the evidence. The jury, by
its verdict, stigmatizes the Kopitzas
as parties to an attempted blackmail-
ing scheme. Mr.. Hober is one Of the
most respected citizens of Mcpherson
and it is highly creditable that he re-
fused to pay the $25 which his perse-
cutors wanted, and chose rather the
publicity of trial. 1t is in the power
of any adventures to bring shame
upon any man, no matter how inno-
cent he may be, and such attempts
should always receive the rebuke that
the jury administer in the case.
The last witness put on by the
State yesterday afternoon was Frank
Campbell.
The following witnesses were put on
blythe defense: S. j. Hober, Henry,
Foster, d. T. Rasdall, H. Fl. Gerlach,

Rasdall, w. II. Michir, Henry Miller,
August Fisher, M. A. Gilman, Ira
Nichols The last three were called
this morning.
Mr.. Hober denied,th charge against
him. His neighbors testified to his
good character and high standing in
the community. Several witnesses
testified to circumstances which were
intended to show that the character
of complaining witness is not the best

THE MANKATO SOCIAL STRENCE
CLUB.

At the meeting last night at the
office of b. ID Smith of the gentlemen
interested in forming club to study
and discuss social and economic Ques-
tions, an organization was affected by
the adoption of constitutions and
the election of officers. The officers
for the year are:
President-Prof J. T. McCleary.
Vice President-Prof G. T. Kenas-
ton.
Secy. and Treas &C. NJ. Hobart
Executive committtee-Pr J. Il.
McCleary, B. d. Smith and Rev. A.
r. Taylor.
The Club will be known as the
Mankato Social Science Club and
starts out with membership of about
%.
Rev. A. II. Taylor read a very inter-
esting and thoughtful paper on "The
Marx Socialism" which was not full
ly discussed owing to the lateness Of
the hour, the discussion being laid
oAer to the next meeting, when the
strength and weakness of socialism
will be discussed. The meetings will
occur upon each alternate Tuesday
evening. There is plenty of room for
such club in Mankato, and its influ-
ence ought ever to be on the increase.

THE REV. PATTERSON RESIGNS

The following dispatch from Mason
City, Iowa, appears in recent issue
of the Minneapolis Journal:
DR.. T. L. Patterson, who has. fgur-
ed quite prominently in church mat
tiers In this locality for the past year,
has now resigned, by request, it is
understood, the position of pastor of
the Peoples Baptist church. Some
eight months ago he had trouble with
the leading members of his flock of
the First Baptist church, which final
ly eliminated in their giving him a
bonus of 500 TO tender his resigna-
tion. This he accepted and in his
farewell sermon administered dose
to his congregation that will long be
remembered. closing with the remark
that she never saw more desplcable
lot of people calling themselves Chris
tiaus." He Immediately went to work
organizing a Peoples Baptist church,
and recently called church council
which, because of his previous course,
failed to be recognized In the new
organization things have not been
going along Smoothly. and upon the
stopping Of his pay he retaliated by
quitting the pulpit. The new organ
izati0n will doubtless now be short
lived and most Of the flock will return
TO the old church. over which DR.. &.
G.. Smith. Of Detroit, Mich. is now
presiding.

ENGINEER HAYNES REPORT.

City Engineer Haynes has his annu-
Al report we'll along toward compile
/ ton. The figures showing the eXpen-
! ses of his department have heretofore
been published in these columns. He
makes some important recommends
tions, among which are the following
| He says that the time is approach
ing when it will be necessary to have
a second pump at the pumping sta
ton, although he says the present
| pump has not been worked much be-
yond one-third OF its capacity, The
arrangement concluded with r. d.
Hubbard has removed any present
need of new pump. but he recon-
| mends purchase Of new pump as
soon as the financial condition of the
fcity will permit it.
He reneWS his recommendation OF
a year ago for second reservoir, TO be
placed lower down than the present
one, and believes that it will result in
saving of money and power to the
pumping station, while giving suffi-
Gent pressure for domestic use.
The general use of meters is referred
to, as means of preventing a waste
of water, which the city has raised 223
feet and gets no returns for. The
pump now has no difficulty in supply
ing the used and waste water and
heretofore it has not been necessary
to cut off the waste water by the use
of meters. Before many years the
city will be compelled to put in meters.
The city now has invested in its
present water works plant $S4,S00. 1t
is indebted to r. d. Hubbard for find
ing the present excellent supply,
which is taken from artisan wells.
In regard to the sewerage system,
Mr.. Haynes states that all of the
sewers put in this year have, been of
Mankato cement pipe. He believes
that next year the system should be
extended to Fifth street from the
Normal school to Rock street, and up
Rock street to the brewery. This
would allow the brewery to run its
waste into the sewers instead of into
Guenther's creek, rendering that
creek a public nuisance its entire
length. The sewerage system should
also be extended to Byron, Fulton
and Center streets. At present the
storm waters are diverted from the
sewers, but the manholes have been
made large enough SO that storm wat
er can be handled in the sewers if nee
essary, but Mr.. Haynes believes that
the present separate system is the
best.
Mr.. Haynes recommends that a
block of vitrified brick street paving
be put in next spring as an expert
ment.
Regarding sidewalks, he states that
it will be necessary to amend the or
dinance which provides that new
walks on Front street shall be of
stone. Under its provisions it is pos

A LIGHT SENTENCE.
Mrs. Martha Kuester Gets Nine Years
and Six Months in the State
Penitentiary.
Judge Severance Prefaces the Sen
tence With Some Eloquent
Remarks.

Mrs. Martha Kuester received heI
sentence this morning, and will go to
prison sentenced for nine years and
six months, but with the expectation
of being released after serving much
shorter period. Another Indictment
hangs over her and when she is re-
| leased it will be in the power of the
county attorney to have her tried fol
killing her other child, the babe
which she poisoned.
The woman was brought into court
at nine o'clock, but it was some little
time before she was directed to stand
| up to receive sentence.
Judge Severance proceeded to eX-
anime her under oath, as to her form
er occupation, as required by law.
She replied that she was dressmaker
by trade, and had followed it for five
or six years For the last ten or
twelve years she had worked at her
fathers home the larger portion of
the time. She was married in 1887,
and during her married life had
worked most Of the time. She is "a
years of age.
When asked whether she had any,
thing to say why the sentence of the
law should not be passed upon her,
she replied that she had not, but one
of her attorneys, Mr.. Pau, addressed
the court and said that he had but
little to say. The course which the
prisoner had taken in pleading guilty
to murder in the third degree she had
been advised to take by her attorneys
more because it was for the best in
terests Of all, more than if she
had been tried and convicted
or acquitted On the charge il
the indictment. The action was
not taken through any fear of con
yiction, nor because the circumstances
around the crime reduce the offence
except in the one particular that she
was not and could not have been in
her proper and clear mind. Taking
everything into consideration il
would be proper that the sentence
should be short term of years. Was
the prisoner to be punished for the
crime charged 10 the Indictment she
would receive not less than life term
in the penitentiary. But she is to be
sentenced for something entirely diff
ferent from the offence charged in the
Indictment. The prisoner could not
have been guilty of the crime charged
in the indictment, although she did
the deed. The sentence will be more
for the purpose of allowing her to get
away from the influences of the past
and SO develop her mind than fol
punishment for the offense.
Judge Severance then said to the
woman: Martha Kuester, you stand
convicted in the case by your own
plea of guilty of the crime of murder
in the third degree. This plea you
made after a full consultation with
your counsel and the members of your
family. The Assistant Attorney Gen
eral of this state was present and
after acquainting himself with all the
surroundings was satisfied with your
plea, and the court accepted it after
being fully assured that you compre-
bend the nature and consequence OF
your plea.

A SUSPICIOUS FIND.

Last Sunday ten-year-old boy nam
ed Young, who lives with his widowed
mother in West Mankato, found
a small satchel hidden among some
bushes and rocks in an Out-of-the-way
place In Davis & Ogle's addition.
The peculiar contents led him to tell
others what he had found, and the
police heard of it. This morning Of
ficer Bradley went to the house and
brought the satchel to the City Hall,
where it now awaits an owner. In it
were found quantity Of new ribbon,
cotton and silk handherchiefs. a
bunch of spectacles, pocket knives,
and quantity of cheap jewelry, in
Guiding rings, pins, cuff buttons, etc.
Everything was of cheap nature,
and reminds one of some fakir's out
fit.
How the satchel came where the
boy claims to have found it, and who
left it there, are questions which are
pulling the officers. There is a sus-
picion that the satchel contains stolen
goods, though it might belong to a
peddler.
