William Gill, the actor who plays
the part of "Pudd, nhead Wilson" in
the play of that name, was assaulted
in the Dakota hotel in New Ulm, this
morning. Ane eye the right one was
blackened and he was otherwise dis
figured Gill as Gill does not main
tain as even temper as he does while
enacting the roll Of 'Pudd'nhead
Wilson," When Gill retired to bed
last night at the Dakota hotel, he left
word that he should be awakened at
$50 O'Clock this morning. The s'bell
hop" however, slipped a cog, and he
aroused the actor at 1870, spelling
dreams of the TheSpian artist who
proceeded to do tragic act right
there and then. He vented his feel
ings to a liberal extent, playing a
star engagement in the Office of the
hotel. This scene aroused the ire of
Anton Weisner, plebeian hack
driver, of Tuetonic origin, ~cut into
the play and he landed his fist in

County Board Lays the City Small.
D0x Bills Over,


The county board adjourned Fri
day afternoon until Feb 4th, without
acting on the smallpox bills from the
city, as certain information was want
ed by Health Officer Hielscher, who
could not be found in time.
H. L. McLean's application for the
correction of his personal property
assessment for 1902 was approved.
Commissioners Epson and Borchert
were appointed general county pur-
chasing committee for 1903.
The financial statement of the
county as prepared by the auditor was
approved, and it was ordered publish
ed in substantially the same form as
last year.
Public Examiner Johnson had in
formed the board that it was neces-
sary to give the number of each war
rant, under the law of 1894, which
wonld make the publication OF the
statement much more expensive. The
board refused to follow the public ex-
aminer's advice. and asked County
Attorney Wilson for an opinion on
the point.
MIR. Wilson filed written opinion,
to the effect that it was not necessary
that the financial statement should
give. the number of the respective
warrants in order to comply with the
provisions of the statute.

Bismarck and BeaconsfieIG.

In his biographical sketches Mr..
Bryce repeats a remark attributed
to Bismarck at the congress of Ber-
lin, who is reported to have said Of
Lord Beaconsfeld, Der alte Jude,
das ist der mann" C'The old Jew,
he's the mani says the London
Chronicle. This is the first time one
has heard of that mot, and it is
doubtful whether Bismarck ever
gave utterance to it. But what is
authentic and certain is that at one
of his parliamentary soirees, when
asked whom he considered to have
been the ablest plenipotentiary al
the congress, the chancellor replied,
after a little reflection, Il don't
know about the ablest, but certain
at least the second ablest was Lord
Beaconsfeld." The princes inter
rogator inferred that he had made
mental reservation of the first place
at the congress for himself.
