HOW HE DID THE DEED.

He was weary Of existence:
We would end his mad career:
Thought he'd buy a keen-edged razor;
Cut his throat from ear to ear.
Or he'd get a big revolver;
Blow his brains all DER the floor;
Or he'd take a dose of airs mic,
Then life's troubles would be Ger.
When all other methods failed him,
He devised a happy scheme.
Went into a store and bought a
Stove that worked with gasoline.

Each one with sure prescriptions;
He's made 10 take them one and all,
And nearly has connipuons.
Hes dosed with drugs and bitter teas,
He's cooked with mustard plasters,
Till made so weak by all of these
He has to move on castors
Then comes the doctor with his quilts.
His quinine and saltpetre,
His aconite. his oils and pills..
To make his doom completer.
At last when writhing in his pain,
BY cayenne oyerheated,
Ungrateful wretch. he dares complain
He hasn't been well treated.

Unknown Man Killed.

The evening freight train east We'd
nesday ran over man lying beside the
track about two miles east of Sanborn.
He was lying with his feet away from
the track, and his head OF the end of a
tie, the train striking his head and frac-
turing the skull. He was brought to
Springfield, whele he died at half past
three Thursday morning. Nothing was
found upon the body by which the dead
man could be positively identified. He
was apparently about 35 years of age,
dressed in plain but clean clothing. On
the hat which the dead man wore has
been found the name "McC cambridge
printed with a pen on the sweat band.
J. McCambridge was also written on the
dead mans underwear. It was so clear
" case of accident that Coroner Roth.
enburg deemed an inquest unnecessary.

Wellner
Sheriff Blocks Mysterious Visits Partly Ex-
planned.
Case,

But little was said or heard of late
about the Wellner murder, the public in
terest in the case seemed to have entire
ly vanished. The relatives Of the muir
dered man have almost given up all
hopes of ever seeing justice meted out
to the perpetrators of the brutal crime.
All clews taken up and diligently fol.
lowed up by the authorities failed in
the end, and even at this writing no evil
dence has been found sufficient to con-
uect any one with the crime.
Sheriff Block of Nicollet count ty who
up to now has done his utmost best to
ferret out the guilty party or parties was
seen in this locality at various times
during the past few weeks and at each
visit he made short trip over to the
Wellner farm and its surroundings. Mon
day he appeared here again and it would
seem that he has found new clew. He
drove out to the Wellner farm and asked
permission of Mrs. Wellner to exhume
the body of John, her murdered hus-
band. Coroner Merritt of Nicollet coun-
ty was with him, and although these Of
fcials refused to make any statement, 1t
is an assured fact that this was the aim
they had in view. The permission was
granted and the body will be exhumed
as soon as the local authorities (Wellnel
was buried in the Lutheran cemetery o1
New Ulm) have given their consent. The
object of this request is not explained
and it is almost incomprehensible to out
siders. The theory is now accepted tha
; Wellner was poisoned by parties un
known, but certainly by parties tina
have had ample occasion to be with him
Mrs. Wellner stated some time ago, tina
her husband frequently paid visits to tn
} neighboring places and villages and ther
he might have met his unknown enemy
. But even admitting this, it is not evi
dent, why he should have been shot OF
i. New Years eve, this being the direc
cause of his death. If poison was ad
ministered him, which has to be proyel
by an autopsy shortly, then OF course th
}, suspicion might be fastened upon partie
: not brought into connection with tn
case so far.
! It is stated by parties well-posted, tina
7 the Wellner case will not be taken up b

Ascension Day,
Silver Jubilee.
Grand Reception rendered Rev. Father Berg
Hold by New Ulm's Catholics.

Ascension Day, Catholic holiday,
was observed by all Catholics last Thurs
aay but more so by the New Ulm adher-
ers to that creed. The Sisters of the Or
der "Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ"
celebrated the twenty fifth anniversary
of their arrival in New Ulm and Rev.
Father Berghold the founder of the hos
pital named after him, the main promot-
er of the construction of the new church
came here to assist IN the ceremonies.
At present he is located in Gutenberg,
N. Y, and arrived here last Tuesday.
Mass was held at a. m. and at 9. a. m.
<the large society of Foresters took COM
munion as body. At 1890 there was
Mass for the Sisters, and Rev. Alex.
Berghold preached the sermon. Large
congregations were present at all SER
vices.
In the afternoon Rev. Berghold dedi-
Gated small statue of St. Alexander
which had arrived that day and had been
placed in the chapel of the hospital.
He was assisted by Revs. Sandmeyer
Rinke and Schalk. After the services
= a general reception was tenderad to Rev
Berghold in the park in the rear of the
church and the park was crowded to its
utmost capacity. All creeds were 1ep
resented, it was ostensibly an ovation
solely intended for Rev. Berghold, the
private man, the citizen, the benefactor
and he was deeply moved by these testi
monials of esteem. Later on an exqui
site lunch was served at Caecilian Hal
where Mayor Weschcke delivered an ell
oquent address responded to by Rev
Berghold in whose honor the sumptuou
.)repast was served.
The Mayors address was an eulogy
to the Rev. gentleman as we'll as to th'
Sisters to whose untirlng and devoted
services the citizens of New Ulm owe ,
a great debt. Rev. Sandmeyer also spoke
and the whole festival seemed to be
grand family affair. The Great Western
Band furnished the music in the evening
and it might be added that the sisters

of his brother Edward:
On Board the Transport Sherman,
March 18th, 1899.
MI. Aug. Matter, New Ulm, Mimi.
Knowing that if have an opportuniT
ty to mail you this letter when we reach
Singapore it will reach you sooner than
an official notification from the U. s.
war department, I feel myself obliged
to break the following sad, sad news to
you. 1 met your brother Edward on
deck several days ago and we talked for
nearly an hour of you and home, my
home is at Iberia, Minn.,) and when
inquired afte1 his health he replied that
he felt fine since leaving Gibraltar. The
next day 1 was informed that they hao
carried your brother to the hospital. Or
the 9th went to see him, but he was sc
ill that I was not admitted. This morn
lug at 2:30 he passed quietly away. The
remains are still on board. Icannot ex
press my deep sorrow and my sympath!
for you.

were buried at sea at 8 40 p. m. toda'
and the services were attended by mos
of the officers. The firing squad con
sisted of "a men, who fired salute a
soon as the casket was showed off tn

I will never forget that burial at sea. l
seems awful; and he had worked himsel

tirely confused by his death.

Company A
ReorganiZes,
A Membership of Fifty five Is Assured, Wht
Will be Captain?

Members of Co. A. 2nd regiment M.
N. G.. assembled at the armory in Turn
er Hall Saturday evening for the purpose
of reorganization. The Co. was neatly
defunct, the term of most of the mem
bers having expired, but several of the
old members were 10th to relinquish
this old established organization.
Lieut.. Fritsche presided at the meet
ing which was attended by about sixty
men. The Co. now numbers tUenty-one
members, the quota required being for
ty-fve. Ten of the mustered-out men,
bers declared their willingness to re-en-
list, as did two men who didn't belong
to the Co. formerly. Therefore mem
bership of thirty-fve is insured but as
twenty more have promised to join the
reorganization might be considered q
fait accompli. Last night another meet.
ing was held to perfect the preparatory
arrangements. As soon as the new mem
bers will have passed the medical exam
ination, conducted by DR.. Schoch, al
election of officers will take place aut
Co. A will soon be on duty, but not il
the Philippines.
A most complicated problem viii
have to be solved in one of the mex
meetings, the election of officers. Their
are three candidates mentioned promi
nently for the capta;ncy, 1t. Fritsche
1t. Buschers and L. q. Vogel, the latte
reginental adjutant Of the 2na Minneso
ia. May the best man win.

We learn that some of the Sleepy Eye
wheelmen were fined $3.40 piece Tor
riding on the sidewalks in violation OF
an ordinance. This seems rather severe,
as other ordinances are violated with i'm
punity. In this connection we would
call the attention of our local wheelmen
and wheelwomen to an ordinance de-
Glazing it misdemeanor to ride their
wheels in the streets after dark without
having lantern attached to them. The
ordinance has not been enforced so far,
but possibly it may, some day.
