A SEVERE STORM.
Rain Poured Down in Torrents for
Half an Hour.

A very severe wind and rain storm
swept over the city Saturday evening,
beginning at 6 80 o'clock and continu-
ing for half an hour or more. The
rain poured down in torrents and the
streets we're turned into small rivers.
Not much damage resulted. notwith-
standing the flood. The Saulpaugh
basement and two or three other base
ments were flooded.
Little or no damage was done to
public work. The work on the Broad
street paving was not in the least in
ujred. A little dirt washed in, which
was easily shoveled out.
A few trees were broken or damaged
by the wind.
It was reported during the evening
that Henderson had been struck by-a
cyclone and destroyed. Chief Bowen
arranged to head relief party, to &C
on special, but got word that the
damage was ver-estimated.
Wires between this city and st.
Paul were Frustrated Saturday night
The storm was general over the
southern part of the state. 1t cooled
the air and the temperature has beer
delightful ever since.

The government crop report shows
the condition Of winter wheat to be a
fraction less satisfactory than it was
on May 1st. The general supposition
has been, based on reports of various
kinds that it would be great deal
better. The condition Of spring wheat
is reported very much better than for
the same period last year, ard has
been surpassed on only three occasions
in the past few years. The acreage of
both winter and spring wheat is given
as very much less than, last year, that
of spring wheat being estimated at
about - per cent less, caused princi-
pally by the failure to get Seeding
done in time because of the excessive
wet weather in the Red River valley,
and also due to gradual cutting
down of acreage that is going on in
other sections caused by the greater
diversiication of crops. If the con-
tinue of the spring wheat crop would
continue good up to harvest time as
it is at present, there would probably
be little difference in the total yield
compared with as that for last year.
But such state of things is hardly
probable.

The Minneapolis tribune in speak
ing of the action of southern Mime
sofa farmers in forming an association
for the Improvement of their live
stock, says: "The southern Minnesota
farmers are building solidly for the
future of that section in forming the
Southern MINES ,ta Pure Bred Live
Stock association There is not much
money to be made from scrub COWS or
scrub horses. Most of them "eat their
heads off, every year; but the
thoroughbreds may be made mine of
wealth. Farmers acting individually
often have trouble in securing pure
bred sires; but this association pro-
poses to hold fairs in which such ami
mails, whose records have been passed
upon by a jury of experts, will be
offered for sale. Every section of the
state ought to have an association of
this kind and every county an auxil-
iary association.

A. SMALL STRIKE.
Some Of the Men Employed on the
Broad Street Work Quit.

A small sized strike occurred among
the men employed by the Barber
Asphalt Co. on Broad street yesterday
afternoon and again this morning.
The question of wages was not involv-
ed, the only point being whether the
white men should work with the
colored men.
The Barber company sent to this
city several colored men who were ex-
perienced in the work of pavement
making, and who are most excellent
workmen. Owing to the superior
efficiency which long practice has
given them, these colored men receive
slightly higher wages than is paid for
white labor. The colored force are
jovial lot, and it is pleasure to
watch them work. They are employed
in mixing the broken stone with the
cement and sand and laying the mix
ture on the ground to form the con-
crete foundation for the binder and
the asphalt.
To reinforce the colored men, several
white men have been employed, and
the men of two colors have worked
side by side without any friction so
far as the public is aware of. Yester-
day the superintendent instructed an
other bunch of white labor to rein
force the colored men, and these white
men refused to do so on the ground,
we understand, that they. did not
want to work with colored men. This
morning another bunch was ordered to
reinforce the cofored boys, and also re-
fused for the same reason. In ALL
some ten men stopped work.
The colored men have conducted
themselves in gentlemanly manner,
and it is unfortunate that any race
question should be raised in Mankato.
Our people are tolerant of all race;
and creeds and believe in giving all
show.

THE TANKE TRIAL.
Witnesses Examined For the State al
Henderson.

Henderson, Mimi. June 13. The
first witness yesterday morning in the
case of Frank Tanke, charged with
the murder of John Wellner, was
County Coroner Merritt, who was
called to identify the two bullets taken
from the body of the murdered man.
He testified that the bullets had been
in his possession from the time of the
inquest until the meeting of the grand
jury, when he had turned them over
to Clerk of Court Blombsrg. He
failed, however, to recognize one of
those offered in evidence as the one
taken from the skull of Wellner, say
ing that if it were the one it had been
altered in appearance since it was in
his possession. The one said to have
been taken from the body he easily
identified. Clerk of courts Blomberg
then testified that the bullets had been
filed with him and had not been out
of his possession. He identified the
exhibits-the package containing the
bullets-but not the bullets them
selves. Both bullets were admitted in
evidence.
Harry Daniels, county surveyor, in
troduced plats showing the various
roads around the Wellner farm in
Lafayette township, Nicollet county.
VIM. Brinkman, neighbor of Well
ner's s, testified to seeing the murdered
man about o clock on the afternoon
of Dec. 81, 1898, the night on which
the murder took place, and to also see
ing Tanke about the same time. VIM.
Bieraeugel, a brother of Mrs. Tanke,
saw Wellner in the morning of the
same day. Tanke had asked the wit
ness to take him along to dance at
New Ulm, but the defendant failed
to show up at the appointed time
about 80 p. m. of the 31st.
Wednesday, DR.. o. G. Strickler of
New Ulm testified he had been called
to the Wellner farm in La Fayette on
Monday following the murder to con-
duct a post mortem examination on
the body of the murdered man. He
testified that two bullet wounds were
found on he.body, and both suffi-
cient to cause death. DIR. G. F. Mer-

Washington reports state that Sem
ator Hanna has endorsed Theodore
Roosevelt for the Republican nomina-
tion for the presidency in 1904, and
that he and his friends will give -
president hearty support. The sena-
tor is said to believe the president is
pursuing a wise course in his admin
istration and is entitled to the sup
port of the party for another term.
1t is further said that Senator Hanna g
one ambition is to bring about bet
ter understanding between capital and
labor, and bring them more closely to-
gether, and to that end he Will
devote much of his time and in
fiuence, and will consider any results
he can bring about in this direction as
being worth more than the honors OF
the presidency. and in this the sena-
tor is doubtless right. There is no
man in public life today in better
position to lend influence to bring
about better understanding between
capital and labor than lis Senator
Hanna. His warm endorsement OF
Roosevelt for the presidency will be a
disappointment to the Democratic
leaders who have been predicting a
break between them. They see no
possibility of defeating Roosevelt,
except in the nomination, and
if Hanna and other leaders come out
for him, his nomination as we'll as
and electionwill be certainty.

City of Chicago Is Visited by Severe
Electric Storm.

Chicago, June 16.-Chicago was Wis
lted by an electric storm Sunday aft
ernoon which wrought death, caused
panic among 100 Sunday school chill
dren and damaged considerable prop
erty. Three churches were struck by

During the storm lightning demol-
ished one of the steeples Of the Lady

Tanke. Herzog informed Coleman that
he would have to search more towards
the center Of the river, which was
then covered with ice, but which on
Dec. 81, 1898. owing to change made
in the dam, was open water. They
searched as directed and found a
revolver.
Jerry Reardon' testimony was COR
roborative of Herzog' as regard the
seeing of Tanke. He did not know
him. The following morning he spoke
to Harzog about the incident and the
latter had told him the person was
Tanke. The other state witness Fri
day afternoon were William Bier
augel, brother of Mr. Tanke; Ed
Lennke, a bartender at Schmueker' s
hall, New Ulm, who corroborated
Sauer's and Rathman's story as to
Tanke being at the above place at
about II O'Clock that night; and

A NARROW ESCAPE.
George WaddeII of DanviIIe Struck by
Lightning.

Mapleton Enterprise:
On Tuesday evening while George
and Ralph Waddell of Danville town
ship were driving up their COWS from
pasture bolt of lightning knocked
the young men to the ground. George,
the eldest of the two boys, young
man of 10 years of age was quite
seriouly injured. Both boys were
rendered unconscious and when Ralph
regained his equilibrium he noticed a
vapor or smoke coming from the feet
of his brother who lay upon the
ground some few rods distant. Inves-
tigation found that George had been
quite seriously injured, and an exam
ination of his clothing indicated a
rather unaccountable condition, every
thing Indicating that the lightning
had run up his body and out through
his hat, a large hole being burned
through the latter, and the bulge in
the cloth being outward indicating
that whatever had torn and burned
the hole had been upward. ACROSS
the young mans breast there is a
burned streak or rather a blister
AS soon as Mr. Waddell could be re-
moved to the house DR.. Corpron of
Minnesota Lake was summoned, and
on his arrival found the boy to be in a
serious condition, the shock having
stopped the heart beat. Efforts were
made at once to work up the circula-
tion and toward morning the patient
regained consciousness, at times being
able to recognize those about his
bedside. 1t is now thought that he
will soon recover unless some new
conditions arise, such as paralysis.

London, June 16.-Dispatches re-

that the surrenders of Beers are pro
ceeding with the greatest good will.
The total of those who have already
surrendered numbers 16,500, and the
British are extending every possible
kindness to the men who come in.
The appearance of General Dewet
at the camp at Winburg was the sig
nal for great display of enthusiasm.
When he arrived at the camp General
Dewet was at once surrounded by
thousands of BOer men, women and
children, who struggled and clamored
to shake the hand of their hero. Gen
livered an address. He warmly ap-
plauded the staunch support that the
women had given the burghers during
the war, which, he said, had greatly
encouraged the men in the field. Con-
tinuing, General DeWet recommended
his hearers to be loyal to the new gov
ernment, and said:
perhaps it is hard for you to hear
this from my mouth, but God has de-
cided thus. / fought until there was
no more hope of upholding our cause,
and, however bitter it may be, the
time has now come to lay down our
arms. AS a Christian people, God
now demands that we be faithful to our
new government. Let us submit to
his decision"

The repatriation committee, which
has been formed to assist the Beers in
returning to their farms, has a gigan-
tic task before it. The concentration
camps will be converted into supply
depots to provide the returning burgh-
ers with the means to rebuild and re-
stock their farms. The wives and
families of the Beers will, if desired,
be maintained at the expense of the
! government while the burghers are
preparing the farms for their recep-
| ton. Two thousand of the National
/ scouts, who fought upon the British
, side during the war, will be imme'
diately disbanded and each scout will

Senior Buencamino wants $50, 600 a

ernment for the education of Filipino
students in the United States and
800, 600 for an exposition at Manila.
He would also like to see the number
of teachers in the Philippines increas-
ed to 5000. Buencamino is on the
right track. If $50, 900 a year could
be spent for a number of years in edu-
eating young Filipinos in this coun-
try, it would prove one of the most
beneficial expenditures that the islands
could make. 1t would spread the
American spirit of liberty and progress
in the islands and be vast aid in all

EDWARD HAS A CHILL.
His Majesty Suffering From Exposure
at AIdershot.

London, June licking Edward is
suffering from a chill. The chill came
as q result of the kings prolonged
stay outdoors upon the occasion of the
torchlight tattoo at Aldershot. The
chill is slight one, accompanied by
symptoms of lumbago. The weather
was extremely cold and in rained at
intervals before their majesties left
the brigade recreation ground. King
Edward returned to his apartments
chilled from the unwonted exposure.
These reports of his majesty's i'll
ness have naturally caused apprehen-
sion, but there is apparently no rea-
son to anticipate serious results.
It has been learned that the king
arose during the afternoon. This is
considered a good reason for hoping
that his indisposition is only tenn
porary.

TWO ARE DEAD.
Result of a Quarrel Between Lovers
at CoatesvilIe, Pa.


at Coatesville, Pa.
Philadelphia, June 16.--Mrs. Rachel
Sailor, a widow, was shot and instant
ly killed at Coatesville, Pa, forty miles
west of here, by Harry N. Ricer of
Newcastle, Pa, who was also killed
by bullet from his revolver while
struggling with another woman for
possession of the weapon. The TRACE
dy, it is said, was the result of a quar-
rel. Ricer was regarded as Mrs. Sah-
lor's accepted suitor. During the
evening Ricer visited the woman and
they are said to have quarreled. Mrs.
Sailor ordered him from the house
and she went to the home of Mrs.
Mary L. Ernest to spend the night.
In the morning Ricer appeared at
the house and demanded an interview
with Mrs. Sahlor. She declined to re-
ceive him and was dismissing him at
the door when he drew revolver from
his pocket and shot her through the
heart. He then, it Is claimed, aimed
the revolver at Mrs. Ernest, who crap.
pied with him. During the struggle
the pistol was discharged, the bullet
taking effect in Ricer's head, killing
him almost instantly.
