A PLEASANT SURPRISE.
Mrs. II. R. Wiecking Gives Her
Husband Birthday 'sKnock-Out.

The home of Mrs. III. r. Wiecking
on Byron street was the scene of jolly
party Wednesday evening. 1t hap
pened that just Sc years previous to
that date Mr.. Herman Wiecking, he
Of cigar fame, was ushered into this
world to battle with the ups and
downs of life, and SO successfully has
he steered clear of breakers, that his
good wife bethought to give him a
genuine knockout" by way Of sur
prise.
Mr. w. is prominent member of
the encampment, branch of the Odd
Fellows order, and is also a member
of the military rank of that order.
Mrs. Wiecking knowing his warmth
for this branch of the order in par
ticular, and the strong bond of friend
ship existing between it's members,
quietly invited such members to as
senible at her home promptly at
O'Clock, as Mr.. Wiecking seldom
leaves his store before that hour and
it was looked carefully to that he
could not get away ahead of time on
this particular evening.
When he reached home, therefore,
it is more easily to imagine his sur.
prise than to express it when he found
himself confronted with between
thirty and forty of his lodge friends
whom he supposed were patiently
waiting for him at the lodge room
where he was expected to join them
in drill, and he belated to supper on
account of the tardinesss of his stupid
clerk in returning from his evening
meal to relieve him from the store.
A most cordial greeting was extend
ed to Herman by his assembled
friends, on his arrival, after which
Mrs. Wiecking invited all to partake
of a most sumptuous repast which she
had prepared in her splendid way.
Supper over, the remainder Of the
evening was spent in card playing by
those who enjoyed such amusement,
and those habituated to the use OF
the tweed" smoked to their heart IS
content.
The evening was indeed pleasant
one, and the best wishes of all go with
Mr.. and Mrs. Wlecking, and may their
future be as pleasant as their past,
with good long life for both is the
sentiment of all their friends.

PROBATE MATTERS.
An Action Which Will Show
The Importance of Perfect
ing TitleS-DaViS Contest.

Friday one of the Stevens heirs ap-
peared before Probate Judge Torrey
to look up the title to the farm near
Minnesota Lake, which was left in
trust by the parents of the children.
The farm is one of the best in the
state and is about mile and half
from the village of Minnesota Lake.
In the year 1880 a woman who had
been appointed Administrative of the
estate and guardian of the children,
at the time resident of South Da-
kota, applied to the probate judge of
this county for an order to sell the
land. Her bond and all the papers
were filed in Dakota. She was granted
permission to sell the farm, which she
disposed of for $1,000. She made no
accounting SO far as the records in
this county are concerned, for the
money. During one year the farm
yielded 1000 bushels of wheat. In the
meantime the heirs have arrived at
the legal age and are now looking up
the status of affairs.
1t is said that the purchaser of the
farm has asked the Stevens heirs to
give him clear deed to the property.
His Overtures, of course, were ignored.
Judge Torrey states that the sale of
the land was illegal because the adj
ministratriX filed her papers in Da-
kota, and that the heirs propose now
to establish their rights in the courts.
The farm is now worth $4,000.
Mrs. Anna Jones of Rockford, ILL.,,
one of the heirs of the David Davis
estate, Thursday telegraphed Judge
Torrey that she proposes to contest
the will.

CHOLERA SERIOUS.
Hogs Dying by the Hundred at Blue
Earth City.

The party at Mapleton who
imported 200 cholera-stricken Iowa
hogs into Minnesota is making a bet
ter harvest than he anticipated. The
disease is already spreading like wild
fire over the southern part Of the
state, and it is now at Blue Earth
City. The last issue of the Lake
Crystal Union says that "a farmer
living a short distance this side of
Blue Earth City lost $50 hogs with
cholera last Friday night, so it is re-
ported. The disease is rapidly spread
ing. Everything possible should be
done to prevent this. 1t is recon-
mended that plenty of fresh water
and large range in which to exercise
will do as much to stay the progress
of the disease as anything

CLARK FOUND GUILTY.
The Man Who Gave a Check on the
gu. S. Live Stock Association of
MankatO.

Sheriff Glynn has been at Milbank,
S. d., for week as witness in the
state case against H. j. Clark, fol-
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. A special from Milbank to
the FREE PRESS says:
''The circuit court here was engaged
all day Wednesday in the trial of the
case of the State of South Dakota VS..
III. j. Clark, charged with obtaining
money under false pretenses. Accord
ing to the evidence produced Mr..
Clark obtained the signature of j. G.
Knapp of this city to draft for $50
drawn by Clark as secretary upon the
United States Live Stock Association
of Mankato, Mimi. The draft was
cashed by local bank here and sent
to the Mankato National bank for col
lection. After securing Mankato
thoroughly they were unable to find
any such association, and protested
the draft. Sheriff Glynn, who was a
witness in the case, claims that nc
such association existed, at least they
had no office in Mankato.
''The object of the corporation, &C
cording to Clark, was to insure live
stock against accident, loss by fire
ETC., and he claims to have secured
quite sum in premiums; but it is
quite evident that the $4,000 capital
stock of this concern was mostly
wind and existed largely in the imagi
nation of the defendant. In fact
that it was bogus concern and only
means by which to swindle unsus
pecting farmers there can be ne
doubt.
''The jury, after two hours delibera
tion, returned a verdict of guilty as
charged in the Indictment, and CLARK
will be sentenced Saturday by Judge
Andrews to a term in the peniten
tiary at Sioux Falls
Careful investigation but cOrrobo
rates Sheriff Glynn's testimony, as
there is not and never has been suct
a corporation as the above in Man
katO.

REV. TAYLOR TO LEAVE.
The Episcopal Pastor Completes His
MankatO Mission.

For some time negotiations have
been pending between the Episcopal
bishopric at Cleveland and Rev.
Taylor with a view of securing the
latter for a position in the bishops
diocese, and the business was con-
Guided two weeks ago when Rev. Tay-
lor went east to look over the proposed
new field.
The unofficial announcement comes
today that Mr.. Taylor has accepted
the offer, and it is understood that
he will leave within a few days to
take up his work in the larger vine
yard of the Master.
The church at which Rev. Taylor
will preach is on Euclid avenue in
Cleveland, one of the most fashion
! able as well as the most magnificent
'churched' street in the United
States. The bishop is at st. Paul
during the greater part OF the time,
and Rev. Taylor will in truth hold
the position of bishop in his new
location.
The Episcopal congregation in this
city is sorry indeed to lose it's be-
loved pastor, but the large salary he
will receive at his new location pre-
cludes the possibility of retaining
him by consequent raise here, even
would such a matter stand in the way
of his ambition. Mr.. Taylor has been
in the city about five years, and in
that time, by his pure Christian prin-
ciples and genial good nature, he has
surrounded himself with hundreds OF
friends, who now wish, on the thresh-
old of his departure, that his lines
may ever fall in pleasant places.

A BIG WHEEL.
Bicycle With Wheels Twelve Feet
High==A ParsOn the Inventor.

A strange machine is now being
built at the wagon mandatory of
Kuehne & Berg, at No III Main
street, and Rev. Klienke, pastor of
the German Methodist church, is the
inventor.
Considerable care has been exercis-
ed to keep the machine from the pub
lie eye, land the work has been going
on in a very narrow. alley between two
buildings. The inventor presents his
ideas to one of the proprietors of the
factory and he in turn works them out
in wood and iron.
Two long pieces of inch gas pipe
have been rounded into tire twelve
feet in diameter, which will run side
by side like the wheels of a natural
vehicle. A steel axle two inches in
diameter and six feet long connects
the wheels together, and the spokes
are made Of thin galvanized iron wire.
Balanced from the axle inside of the
wheels is the mechanism for propel-
ling the thing. A seat hangs below
the axle, and on each side, tightly at
tached to the axle, is Windlass
which resembles saw-buck. A ham
die with hinge attached strikes one
| of the arms of the windlasS as it re-
wolves and lusty shove is supposed
| to send the machine forward with a
rush. An arrangement has also been
provided to employ the feet in help
ing out the propulsion.
Rev. Klienke expects to make his
country calls astride this machine,
and will push forward it's completion
with redoubled vigor. He states
that regular bicycle don't go fast
enough for his use, and he expects to
make % to 30 miles an hour with his
invention.
He told one Of the manufacturers to
| be around when he made his trial trip
to see that he received a Christian
burial.
All the decisions of the supreme
courts which have heretofore granted
bicyclists the right of way over the
public highway are likely to be re-
yersed. No horse with any horse
sense at all can, in justice to himself,
pass this new machine on the road.
A traction engine is about the only
nj
the air, throw back it's ears and snap
the harness-breeching, over-check and
all.
