clTYs RELIGIOUS CENSUS
AMUSING

The great work of taking a religious
census of Minneapolis, undertaken by
the churches of the city, has been prac-
tically completed. A half-dozen dis
tricts and a comparatively small num-
her of homes were missed, but these
will be taken care of tomorrow, and
the work will be done except for the
matter of tabulation. Every denom1-
nation in the city has been represented
in the movement, and every one has
demonstrated that it is earnestly en-
deavoring to reach every class and
condition of man in the city.
Nothing could more clearly show the
seriousness with which the church peo-
pie of the city look upon this effort
than the manner in which the work
was performed yesterday. Of seventy
four chairmen of districts, every man
was on duty at the appointed time,
and the dozen extras who were pro-
vided were put on visiting duty. The
visitors in some instances worked
against heavy difficulties, were met
coldIy or with contempt, and though
often discouraged pushed the work
through to completion in almost every
district, as reports received late IN the
afternoon and evening showed. In Or
der to finish up number Of districts,
work had to be done in the evening,
and after a days hard work several
of the visitors, though tired, cheer1ully
volunteered their services.
The committee did not feel that any
summary of results could be made last
evening, and, therefore, advised district
chairmen to hold cards until all of the
visiting in their districts had been
completed. The work of tabulation will
begin Monday and will be completed
as soon as possible. The cards Will
then be distributed among the church
es, and the real work for Whlch the
census was but a preliminary Will be-
Gin. At the end of year it will be
time enough to estimate the pfacllcal
results and approve or condemn
All day long the scene at the Y M. Z.
A. office of the general committee was
busy one. The brigade of boys, who
were to act as messengers, was on
hand promptly and did yeOman serv-
ice for the committee. They stuck TO
the work with pluck and determlna-
ton which characterized the whole
movement. One boy, G. Branum, met
with a painful accident through the
break down of his wheel. He was bad
ly cut under the chin, and had to call
the services of a doctor, who stitched
up the wound, bandaged it and sent
the boy home. But the boy borrowed
another wheel and went direct to
headquarters and reported for duty.
The committee very wisely issued a
furlough.
At an early hour the boys began to
return to the Office with the district
reports, and the committee soon knew
that the work was to, be a success.
With LOO workers in the field, they
knew it could not be otherwise. They
sent their aides, the wheel corps, to
dinner at downtown coffee house. in
squads of ten, and Immediately set to

MURDER CONFESSED.
OwatOnna Tramp Admits the Shoot
ing ofAPoIieeman WinkeImann.

NEW ULM, Mimi, Oct 16-The
sheriff has been called to Owatonna by
message that one of the prisoners ir
the Owatonna Jail had admitted that
he was the murderer Of Policeman Al
bert Winkelmann in this city, on the
morning of July a, two years ago. John
Ives, a tramp, who had served out q
thirty days sentence in the OWatonna
Jail, upon being released told the sheriff
that one Of the other prisoners had
made confidant of him and confessed
that he had fired the shot which re-
suited in Policeman Winkelmann's
death This prisoner has gone under
different names. Ives says he knows
him as Tom Hoagen, but he is now
awaiting the action of the grand jury
on a charge of larceny under the name
of Michael Enright.
Enright's tale, told by Ives, corro-
borates the little evidence that was ad-
duced at the coroner's inquest. Wink
elmann was still living when found
early in the morning Of the 4th, and
his last words were that he had been
shot by a tramp. He had also had
trouble on the afternoon of the Sd with

BURGLARS MAnss "A COLLECTION.
Stole Valuable Coins and Rare Sam
pies of Paper Money.

Burglars entered the wine house of A. NJ.
Smith, 249 Hennepin avenue yesterday morn
ing, and carried off the contents of the till,
amounting to SIS in dimes, nickles and pen
nieS. They also secured some other booty,
which will be of little value to them, but was
priced by the proprietor of the establish
ment.
Entrance to the wine room was effected by
boring holes around the lock of the hall door
and bursting the lock from its fastenings.
What is known to mechanics a press bit
was used in forcing the door.
Between the wine room and the restaurant,
which is under the same management, is a
hallway. This is always locked at night.
However, as a general thing the watchman
does not lock the outside hall door until after
the restaurant is closed. Last night this was
not done until after u o'clock. The Supposi-
tion is that the burglars went up stairs before
this hour and hid until everybody had left
the building. They had everything their own
way after that. With the hall door locked.
there was little chance of being discovered
from the outside. and they evidently worked
at their leisure.
The restaurant and wine rooms are connect
ed by door pretty well back towards the
rear of the building, and after getting all
they could find of value in the latter they
broke open the door and entered the eating
establishment. Here they found frame con-
tanning about 150S Swedish and Danish coins.
The frame was stripped and left lying on the
floor. They also secured a number of SDec1-
mems of paper money which were hanging
in frames on the wall. These were of no spe-
cial value except as curiosltles.
Most of the currency was some that was
struck from the plates at the treasury and
left unsigned consequently of no value as
money. 1t is thought that the burglars are
men who have been in the habit of frequent
ing the wine house, and that they did not
know the specimens which they carried away
would be comparatively worthless to them.
No attempt was made to break into the safe,
and it is the opinion of the attaches OF the
establishment that the crooks were new at
the business. Certainly they showed no evi-
dence of being professionals.
The burglars also secured small quantity
of cheap cigars. After taking everything -thess,
