ton of the church Of this city. The cele-

Before the organization Of the church
here this district was included in what
was known as the st. Peters mission,
and in 1882 Rev. s. L. Leonard was ap-
pointed to be pastor at Red Wing. In
1858 a class was organized out of which
has grown the present prosperous congre-
cation. In 1854 the society formally Or
ganized.
The first regular pastor, sent here in
1854 was Rev. Jazeb Brooks, now pro-
fessor Of Greek at the state university:
He was also principal of the preparatory
department of Ham1ine university then
located at Red Wing. At that time the
congregation only numbered twenty-five
members.
The Red Wing Country club has been
organized by electing A. F. Bullen presi-
dent. Edwin II. Foot secretary and c.
A. Betcher treasurer. The executive
committee is composed Of A. F. Bullen
c. A. Betcher, r. H. Foot and W. c.
Krise. It has been practically decided

Duluth's Is One of the Largest Single
Factories In the World.
DULUTH. MINN.--The Duluth Match
company, merged into the Union Match
company, has it's large factory about
ready for operation. Its size and import
ance Is scarcely realized. 1t is one of the
largest single factories in the world, and
will make between 30.0oO.0OO and $4,000, 900
matches daily, about a carload.
The troubles incident on its early opera
tion, with old machines making poor
matches. are over, and the factory is
equipped to make the best matches at the
minimum price and expects no difficulty
in marketing its product or in maintaining

ASSIGNEE FOR BANK.
2lankinton Affairs Entrusted to the
Wisconsin Fidelity Trust and
Safe Deposit Company.
It Succeeds Herman Who Is a De-
faulter and a Fugitive From !.
the Country.

Milwaukee, Wis, April 22-+Judge Hal
sey Of the circuit court yesterday after
noon appointed the wisconsin Fidelity
Trust and Safe Deposit company assignee
of the Plankinton bank, to succeed Henry
Herman, who is bankrupt and a fugitive.
Thus the affairs Of Herman. who is said
to owe $600,000 to Milwaukeeans who
trusted him implicitly are in the courts,
there to be unraveled. probably after
years of strife and complications in which
dozens of estates will be entangled more
or less. @~- ~ '.t ~'0'
The most important development in the
argument before Judge Halsey was the
statement of Attorney G. d. Vandyke
that he, as the representative of the
American Bonding company of Baltimore,
had called upon Herman several days be-
fore he ran away and demanded possess
sion of his books and accounts, which de-
mand was courteously complied with.
Mr.. Vandyke now has the books in his
charge. ~'
Suspected Something Wrong
1t would appear from this that the
bonding company had become suspicious
that all was not as it should be in the
assigneeship for which it was responsible
under bond of 1926, 900, and that the
investigation was, in fact the cause of
Herman's precipitate flight to South
America.
1t is reported that old friends Of Her.
man made up d purse OF $1,000 and gave
1t to him a few days before he left the
city, they knowing he would not return

Butte, Mont. April 22.-After hearing
the arguments until late in the afternoon,
Judge McClernan yesterday decided to ad- &
nit in evidence the alleged dying declara-s.
ton of DR.. II. A. 5Cayley, who in state
ment made to the county attorney on Oct.
16 Of last year, accused ]. w. Kelly Of
having shot him.
Counsel for Kelly made a determined
effort to prevent the statement going to
the jury, contending in the main that 1t
had not been shown that the declaration
was made under g. belief Of impending
death, as the law requires.
The court also admitted the statement
of Cayley made to III. II. Hanson on Oct.
Is. In this Cayley declared, at least signed
whom he identified the day before, was
the man who fired the fatal shot.
The court overruled the objection Of the
defense to that part Of the dying state
ment in which Cayley is alleged to have.
said that he was shot as Madam LaBonta
was partially undressed and just going
to bed" also to that part in which CayIey
is alleged to have said he was not sure
whether Kelly came from beneath the bed
or was hid elsewhere in the room when
the shooting occurred.
Telegraph OFFICES sombarded.
Trouble between the striking messen-
American District Telegraph companies
reached a climax yesterday afternoon
when q mob Of boys and their friends
from among the various labor organiza-
tions of Butte assailed the telegraph Of
fees and closed them for about eight
hours. p. g.. -.- s.a...sa g

ricaded and the windows were smashed
and Manager Benjamin Posey OF the A..
I'D. r. and the operators and clerks Of the
Western Union were held close prison.
ers until they were rescued by officers
later in the evening.
The trouble arose over the attempt OF
the telegraph companies to employ again
men at S. a day as messengers. The ex-
pertinent OF using girls as messengers re-
| suited in failure, they being insulted at
every turn until the situation became un-
bearable, and yesterday several men were
employed. Those who ventured forth
! were caught by the mob and after several
cases Of eggs had been broken over them
they were rolled in heaps of dried vege-
tables.
May Be Left Out Of Circuit. Co., .-
The telegraph building WAS bombarded
with eggs, the police looking on with in
difference and laughing at the rioters
demonstration. Despite ugly threats
made throughout the day no attempt was
made last night to cut the Western Union
lines entering the city. Assistant Super
intendent p. V. Moffitt Of the Western
Union of New York is in the city, but
refuses to make a statement other than
to say that the situation Is very serious.

NEW ULM'S LIBRARY
Board Decides to Close 1t for Lack OF
Funds, s5

NEW ULM, MINN.-At a meeting of
the library board it was decided to close
the library for lack of funds. The institu-
tion has been kept up for four years by
voluntary contributions in the hope that
the legislature would pass a, law affording
some relief. The bill introduced by SEN
ator Rieke covered, the points desired by
the library board Of this city, but after
being amended in the committee it was SO
abortive in purpose that 1t was worse
law than the one it sought to benefit.
The closing of the library is regretted
on all sides as it was we'll patronized and
had been well kept. There is a large in
debtedness that will have to be met and
since the city refuses to aid the debts will
have to the paid by private contributions.
