Herman G.. Schmahl was born in
Traverse de Sioux, Nicollet county,
this State, in 1861, and consequently
is 80 years old. He spent few years
at school in that now obsolete town,
and in 1871 came with his parents to
Redwood Falls, attending school in
winter and doing farm work in sum-
mer. In 1879 he entered the store of
Phi]brick & Francois us clerk, work.

where>he continued as a salesman in
a store of that town. Remaining there
almost year he returned to Redwood
Falls and commenced as salesman
in the store of G. A. Francois IL Co.,
and remained in that capacity until
several years ago when he entered the
firm as silent partner, and has re-
NAMED such ever since. Since the
death of the late G.. A. Francois Mr..
Schmahl has had entire charge of the
mammoth store, the business of which
he assisted so materially in building
up, and is now conducting closing

Truth of the Gazette Article.

Mr.. C. j. Buell., the single tax advo-

five dollar bills from candidates for
postofices, Indian agencies, consuls,
custom officers, etc. has come out with
an explanation of his conduct while

the three dollar deal by admitting the
accuracy OF the GAzETTE's statement.

how he secured signature by giving
his consent to a false misrepresenta-

n1ittee, 81 ne State Executive Com
mittee and our young men.
The eommittee is composed Of
prominent business men from all parts
Of the State. There are six sub-com-
mittees on railroads, lumbermen, col
lege, district, county and bible distri-,'
button. The State committee has>full
responsibility where there is no organ
ization. In the work among the rail-
road men no aggressive work is being
done at present on account Of lack Of
funds. The student vacation work
was full Of encouragement. During the
Christmas holidays seventy Young men
went to different places, and there were
nearly 275 conversions Of which $50
we're young men. Besides many
conversions idle Christians we're set to
work. On account Of the extraordin-
airy times, the committee have had no
financial backing, and thus they have
been crippled in field composed of
$500 college students; 10000 railroad
men, 10000 ::woodsmen, loo, 600 young
men in small towns and the same num-
Der in cities.
Work among the woodsmen has
been very successful, two missionaries
were sent to the lumber camps and
the gospel was welcomed in nearly all
of them. Mr.. Lewis hoped more int
crest would be aroused in this great
work, and that the generous people
of this city would help the committee
in their embarrassing position.
Mr.. Douglas then gave a brief out
line of the work of the State commit
tee in colleges. Five or six years ago
no new student was met by band OF
young men at the depot, shown a
pleasant boarding place, introduced to
| the best students, as the association is
doing now.
The convention closed with address
by Secretary Francis relating the work
that has been done by the State exec
utive committee.
Over $25 was raised Sunday evening
for the work.
B. A. Shuman, of Hamline, conduct
ed services at Delhi Sunday morning
Messrs. Leslie and Stewart, of Del
hi, and many throughout the county
attended the Sunday sessions.
The sweet tones of the musical
glasses were greatly enjoyed by the
delegates, and they appreciated Mr.
Stones efforts in their behalf.
The male quartette composed Of
Messrs. Martin, Stenhjem, Buxton and
Ross Houck, received many compli-
ments throughout the large audience
Among the workers from abroad
were State Secretary Francis, Office

Among some of the delegates pres
ent were Fred Chamberd, Andrew Mel

BENNINGTON Dec. I'm the murder
case of William Conroy. alias Henry Nc
Dowell, yesterday afternoon the case was
given to the jury at , O'Clock, and Judge
Ross virtually charged that a verdict of
granddaughter be returned. The insanity of
Mcdowell has been suggested for defence
from the first Friday DR.. E. b. Minis of
northampton, Mass. came here. and his
report to the court is that the prisoner is
undoubtedly insane and has been so for Il
long time. and probably was crazy when
John Crowley was killed by him in 1892
This led to an agreement between the court
and counsel TO submit this case to the iurv
without pleadingS and that manslaughter
should be the verdict if found guilty. The
defence submitted no evidence. The crime
was committed in Glastonbury near the
SALISBURY line. Crowley and Mcdowell
were woodchoppers and occupied the same
cabin. McDowell's antecedentS are I'M
known, but from his dress it has always
been supposed he deserted from a British
mau-of- war. He has been in all quarters of
the globe
On the afternoon of the murder Mellow

bury and had been drinking. What
led to the alteration will never he known.
but the body of the victim showed
the shocking barbarity of his assailant.
Prints of Crowley's face were left in the mud
and slush. DcDowel coolly left his COM
panion, walked into German NIattison's
house near by and told them they would
find old John down in the highway He
then went to another place in the settlement
