Gets one Year and Four Months
at Saltwater.
John Anderson Acquitted of Grand Lar=
ceny, and Adam L. Schumacber's
Trial in Progress.

Henry j. Houston was before the
court Monday afternoon to receive his
sentence for grand larceny in the Sec
ond degree, in stealing harnesses at Ma
pleton He was sentenced to Saltwater
for one year and four months, and was
taken there Thursday.
The jury in the case of John Ander-
son, charged with stealing team near
Amboy, agreed on verdict of acquittal
at 1890 o'clock Monday night. The first
ballot stood seven for acquittal, four
for conviction and one blank. The de-
cision was due to the instruction of the
court that if Anderson did not plan to
steal the team before he became drunk
he must be acquitted. The jury looked
at it that he became drunk and then
decided to steal the team.
The trial of Adam l.. Schumacher on
the charge of bigamy was proceeded
with Tuesday. The state got in
all of it's evidence and a recess was
taken until after dinner to allow of the
arrival on the noon train of the alleged
Louisiana wife, Helen B. Schumacher.
Mrs. Henrietta Schumacher was on
the stand that forenoon and proved to
be a rapid talker. She related how she
had met Shoemaker on Monday in
1896 and married him the following
Saturday. Her nephew had told her
that there was doctor in town who
could help her hearing. He was sent
for and after trying her ear he asked
her if she was a widow. She said that
she was and he proposed marriage.
She refused him, and the next day he
came again and talked about getting
married, but she was still opposed to it.
Persistency finally carried the day, and
before the week was out she had
changed her name from Zeigner to
Schumacher Mrs Schumacher testi-
fed to letter received by Mr.. Schu
macher and supposed to be from Helen

had said that if he did not allow her
half of the pension as he had promised
she would take the matter before the
government and would find out where
his other wife was and make him dance.
Schumacher had torn up this letter. 1t
was brought out that when Schumacher
signed the divorce papers that were
published in ST. Paul paper, Henrietta
Schumacher was present, but she did
not know the nature of the case.
Mr. Schumachers statement Mon
day to the reporter that Judge Buck
would assist in his defense was unwar-
made with Mr.. Buck.

MANKATO'S CENSUS COMPLETE.

The enumerators of this city have
completed their work and sent their re-
ports in. They had but little difficulty
in btaining the desired information,
the most trouble being occasioned by
finding people out and having to call
again.
1t is expected that the first bull
letin, giving the population of cities,
will be issued in from two to four
weeks. Mankato is not expected to
show an increase during the past five
years of more than 1900, and talks
with some of the enumerators make it
doubtful whether even this much of an
increase will be shown by the figures.

FROM BAD TO WORSE.
Mayor Orders sarges Located
Between Seventeenth and
Eighteenth.
BLOCK OF LEvEE Is oBsTRUoTED
Lamont & Son Move Into Ware
house, at Which Boats are
Landing.

Yesterday afternoon Mayor Nc
Conochie ordered the sand and stone
bsrges that have been moored below
the new levee warehouse at the foot
of Nineteenth street to be removed a
block further down. Accordingly the
stone barge below the ferry landing
was dropped down length or two
and the sand barge run in above, be-
tween it and the ferry dock, thus
practically occupying all available
landing space other than that reserved
for the use Of the local packets.
Lamont & Son removed their ticket
Office to the new warehouse and last
evening the Winona on her down trip
made her first landing there. The
Verne Swain and the W. j. Young.
Jr.. will also hereafter stop at the new
warehouse.
1t is understood that arrangements
have been made by which the D., Z. l.
d n. W. road is to put in switches at
the stone quarry at LeClaire aud take
charge IF the transportation OF rock
for the LeClaire Stone company. The
stone barges will then be disposed of.
Bright Move.
The effect of this latest brilliant
move on the part of the city admins
tration is to completely shut out to
the use of boats the portion of the
river front best adapted for legitimate
river commerce. With the levee for
the block between Seventeenth and
Eighteenth streets lined with sand
boats and barges, it is simply impos
sible for a steamboat of any kind to
land at Rock Island within the harbor
on which the government has already
expended 81. 5000 of an amount of $25,
600 expected to be applied for this
purpose. The harbor which the
United States has spent $4,000
to improve for the benefit of all kinds
of water craft is turned over exclu-
sively to sand and rock barges. And
the wagons used in connection with
this same business will proceed to
mar the west half of the new levee
Just as they have the east side be-
tween Eighteenth and Nineteenth
streets Thus for the benefit of one
particular branch of river industry
the harbor is to he denied to steam
boats as a whole, while the levee is to
be cut to pieces because they decline
to take pains in the matter of haul

PLANS FINE DEPOT.
D., r. l. & NJ. w. Railroad Ready
to Build in Rock
Island.
SOON AS Q STUB IS REMOVED
Company Anxious to Proceed
Will Be a Handsome
Building.

You may count on it that our
company is in earnest about its plans
for a new depot in Rock Island, "
said General Passenger and Ticket
Agent L. F. Berry. of the D., r. 1. &
n. w. road, who was in Rock Island
yesterday. The plans are fully de-
termined upon, as have been hereto
fore published, and call for the pref
test railroad station you ever saw,
with tower and clock and altogether a
building of which the people may be
proud. The company stands ready
to erect the building yet this fall at
the foot of Seventeenth street if the
council will get the annoying stub
track out of the way so that
it will be possible to car
ry out eur plans. We are in
earnest and the people of Rock Island
may count upon it.
How about the frame freight de-
pot? We are going to have that ve-
neered with pressed brick just rs the
Burlington is doing with its new
freight house. The entire work will
be completed this fall if we get a
chance. Put that down and you can
stake the honor of the company upon
it,"
VIII Occas on Satisfaction.
Mr.. Berry spoke with much earnest
ness and enthusiasm on the sub
ject and with an air as if not only
meant what he was saying. but knew
fully what ne was talking about. The
suggestion that Rock Island is to
have, through the new company, a
fine passenger station. such as has
been pictured. and have it quick, is
one that is sure to awaken much sat-
iSfaction and feeling that the city
should be reasonable with the compa-
nv, if in return it is TO do what it
now promises.
With the absolute assurance that
new depot, not in the future, but at
once. such as planned, will be built,
the city would be justified in using
its best efforts To accommodate
the requirements of the company
to an extent compatible with the
public welfare and the rights of
others.
