HON. AUGUST T. KOERNER,
CANDIDATE FOR STATE TREAS
TIQER


Hon. August T. Koerner, treasurer of
Minnesota and candidate for the same
office, was born July 7, 1S43, in Ger
many. When fourteen years of age he
came to the United States, residing for
a time in Missouri. In 1860 he removed
to Indiana for the purpose Of engaging
in. the milling business, but had hardly
commenced his career when the War of
the Rebellion broke out. Imbued with
that spirit that the government could
not be wrong, spirit which brought
SO many Of our German-Americans into
the Union army, Mr.. Koerner, forsak-
ing his work, enlisted in the Sixth Indi-
ana Volunteer regiment. Later he re-
enlisted in the Twenty-sixth Indiana
Volunteer regiment, serving in all for
four years and three months under the
starry flag. He participated in all In
seventeen battles, including that of
Vicksburg, and at the battle Of Prairie
Grove he was wounded in the left arm
by a rifle ball.
At the close Of the war Mr.. Koerner
went to Troy, I'LL, and in 1867 located
permanently in Minnesota, having
made a trip to this state two years
previously. He made his home in
Meeker county, where he took farm.
After losing several crops he gave up
farming and engaged in clerical work.
In 1877 he was elected register Of deeds
of Meeker county, occupying the posi-
ton for three consecutive terms, being
reelected each time with increasing
majorities. In 1890 he was appointed
postmaster at Litchfield, but resigned
eighteen months later to accept seat
in the legislature, to which he had been
elected by large vote in one Of the
most bitter political contests of his
county.
For many years Mr.. Koerner was q
member of the Republican state central
committee, and only resigned to accept
a nomination for the position of state
treasurer in 1894, to which he was
elected by one of the largest votes ever
given to state official. His election
to the same place for a second term
spoke volumes for the manner in which
he had conducted his Office. To say the
least, a denomination for q third term
is most high tribute to the sterling
qualities Of the man thus honored. Mr..
Koerner has not disappointed the peo-
pie of the state, and his term has been
marked by an alertness for the security
Of public funds never surpassed.
Though number Of banks suspended,
with large deposits Of state money in
their possession, every dollar has been
practically recovered and the treasury
Of the state has not been loser, rec
ord Of which any man may be proud.
Mr.. Koerner will go into his third term
with his usually large vote, for the peo-
pie are not unmindful Of services faith
fully performed.

The Birth of the Earth.

The earth is the result of an ex-
plosion that occurred on the sun,
some. scientists estimate 100000
OF years ago. When this explosion
occurred the sun was most likely in
a gaseous state and the violence was
sufficient to throw the earth far
enough away to come within the
range of gravital attraction of other
planets, consequently what is now
the earth did not fall back into the
sun from which it had been thrown.
Other planets have been caused the
same way and from the same source
for instance, the moon and Mars.
If ball should be shot out OF
cannon with sufficient force to land
it upon Mars, if the inhabitants of
that place should use the same word
in naming it as we do they would
call it "meteorite." If, however, the
ball should only have sufficient
velocity to carry it say half way to
Mars, it would then come to stop
at a point where it would be acted
upon by the attraction of all sur
rounding planets, consequently it
would fall upon neither, but would
Immediately take on a motion or
orbit of its own, when it would be-
come a true planet, just as our earth
is.-Dictator.

Eufokok.

Not only should we be capable Of
entertaining our own countrymen,
but also foreigners. An influx of
strangers would be an education in
itself. Foreign languages would be
learnt by the English speaking store
keepers as a matter of course, and
possibly we should lose some OF our
insular boorishness, and gain that
polish OF politeness which is dis
tinct characteristic of even the
most democratic OF nations. This
is the way the Frenchman abroad
learns our language-we learn his
out of grammar or an absurd "con-
versation" book:-A Partisan, want
ing eggs for breakfast, and having
forgotten the English for oewf thus
addressed the waiter: "Vaiterre, vat
is dat Walking in de yardw "a cock,
sir" "Ah! and vat you call de cocks
vife2" "The hen, sir" "And vat
you call the shildrens of de cock
and his vife2" "Chickens, SIR" "But
vat you call de shicken before dey
are shicken7" eggs sir" Bring me

COFFEES

Some are cheap now. Cheap
cereal adulterated coffees are
very plentiful and are forcing
down the prices of the old
Kona product, especially the
medium and lower grades
with which they compete.
The higher grades of Isl
and coffees have declined a
little in sympathy.
Our customers are the first
to benefit by reductions.
Fine coffees are scarce and
no reductions can be made in
their prices.

Tribune from Washington says: Secret
negotiations are now actually in pro-
gress between the state department and
the insurgents in Cuba, looking to a.
stoppage Of the war on some financial
basis to be agreed upon hereafter.
President Mckinley has not yet recog-
nized the insurgents as belligerents and
he cannot therefore treat with them

matte representative of an independent
nation. Direct communication has
been had within the last few weeks,

the administration here. The insur-
gents have expressed perfect willing
ingness to assume reasonable share Of
the Spanish bonds issued against the
Cuban revenues. The proposition has
been considered with some favor and
the president and his cabinet have dis
cussed several plans for guaranteeing
the Cuban debt on the sole basis of in
