The people Of Clay City were
startled and greatly surprised a
few weeks ago when Rev. w. j.
Delaney converted priest, made
a public statement during his adj
dress, that President Lincoln's
assassin was still living and that
the body of the supposed John
Wilkes Booth wasthat of anoth-
err, and that the dastardly deed
was committed blythe Catholic
priesthood whP shielded Booth,
the assassin. The first part of
this statement has been corrob-
Grated by report from Enid,
Okla, that a man there named
David E. George, who was Booth
under this asf hmed name, has
died, and that Mis- body has been
identified by a number of per-
sons acquainted with assassin,
and a number near relatives.

Abraham Linc0ln's AK.

Perhaps the most valuable ak
in the world is owned by DIR. M.
B. Emery. He says the AK was
used in splitting rails by Abra-
ham Lincoln. The doctor for
merly lived in Springfield, ILL.,,
and the AK was presented to him
by Lincoln. The doctor says that
he has been offered IS, 200, for
the ak, but he refused to part
with it. He will deliver the rel

The Way to Get the Most Money
From q BusheI of Corn.

1t is claimed that bushel of corn
will yield larger product If the
juice is squeezed from it, than if it
is ground into meal. The follow
ing computation seems to prove it:
Out of bushel of corn comes four
gallons whiskey. From the whis-
key the distiller gets five dollars,
the saloon keeper seven, the gov
eminent four, the railway one, the
farmer fifty cents, the consumer
six months, bis wife divorce and
the Taxpayers the bills.
AS in many other manufacturers,
there are also some by products
from the bushel of corn, which ben
eft the friends of the whiskey in
dustry. The policeman making the
arrest receives fees amounting to a.
bout two dollars, the magistrate
who tries the case gets from three
to six dollars, the officer who takes
the drunkard to Jail is allowed a.
bout IS cents per mile for travel,
the jailer gets $2.90 per week for
board and the Supreme Judicil
Court, bench and bar come in for a
fifth cleaning. Finally the tax
payers receive second set of bills.
In no way can you get so much
out of bnshel of corn az to make
it into whiskey Exchange.

DIDN'T WAIT FOR TRIAL
Mrs. kimball Left Before Husband
Was Sentenced.

After waiting for several months for
the case against her husband to come
to trail, Mrs. Chas. Kimball left the
city very unceremoniously last week.
She remained in New Ulm until the
jurors who were to sift the evidence
against her lord and master had been
selected but before the first testimony
was introduced She was speeding on
her way to her home at Baraboo, Wis.
Shortly after Kimball s escapade at
Sleepy Eye, Mrs. Kimball made her
appearance here in very melodrama-
ticmanner. She was bubbling over with
sympathy for her erring husband and
freely forgave him for his desertion of
her, announcing that she intended to
remain at his side, nurse him back to
his former health and retore him to
freedom. ~ -. ~. Es
The meeting between the pair at the
county jail was very affecting and a
few days after her arrival she secured

water Thursday.
Sleepy Eye Barber Got Four Years
and Six Months.
John Kunz Found Not Guilty and
.E. Sullivan Sentenced.

Four years and six months at hard
labor in the Saltwater penitentiary
was the punishment melted out Thurs
day to Charles Kimball, the Sleepy
Eye barber whose infatuation for the
proprietress of his boarding house
got him so deeply into trouble last
autumn. On that day he was convict
ed of assault in the second degree and
Judge Weber sentenced him as
stated. 49,. .~> y.
Kimball's offense was committed on
Sept. 9Th, 1908, and it's details are
fresh in the memories of Review read
ers. In a fit, of insane jealousy he
attacked Mrs. Carrie Toomey, wound
ing her in the, arm, and then defed
arrest, brandishing his revolver at
the crowd that gathered and firing at
several citizens. A bullet from rifle
in the hands of an unknown farm hand
laid him low and he was arrested and
placed in jail.
When court convened the grand jury
found four indictments against him
for firing at Mrs. Toomey, Marshal
Michael Frantz, A. A. Larrabee and
John Lange. All were for assault in
the first degree and Thursday he
was tried for attempting to take Mrs.
TOOmey's life. The other three counts
still hang over him but have been
postponed until the next term of court.
John Kunz of Cottonwood, charged
with taking indecent liberties with a
little girl, was tried Wednesday and
found not guilty, and when John Sui
livan, the young man arrested near
Springfield, was arraigned he pleaded
guilty to grand larceny in the second
degree. Sullivan halls from Duluth
and was accused of the theft of horse.
When he entered a plea of guilty
Judge Webber1 imposed a sentence in
the St. Cloud reformatory. ~
Thursday was the last day Of the
December term. Both attorneys and
jurors were anxious to return to their
homes for Christmas eve and the
former continued the remaining cases
on the calendar by consent. Those
against Carl, Charles, Jr., and Her.
bert Baltrusch went over, and Herman
Schleuder was released upon 5000 bail.

LOW INSURANCE RATING
Fire Premiums Here Not as High as In
Other Cities.

Fire insurance ratings are lower in
cities. AS a matter of fact they are as
the Minnesota and Dakota Fire Under
writer's, the organization controlling
the general rates in the two states, has
authority to put them.
In drawing up rating schedule the
fire underwriters fix upon a basis rate
for buildings of the same kind in all
parts of the Northwest. Certain ad-
ditions are made for exposures and
other risks and then the usual pro-
cedure is to add Is or rs per cent. In
this city the same method is followed
with the exception that the reduction
is made below the basis rate and the
property owner taking out the in
surance receives the benefit in a lower
premium.
Accounting for this, N. Henningsen,
in a conversation with a Review re-
porter, stated that it was due to the
attention which this city pays to its
fire protection and to it's splendid re-
cord for loses. These are in variably
small and there are few cities anywhere
that have sustained so littledamage by
fire.
Last week this paper printed sketch
of the local fire department and it met
with great favor among the insurance
dealers as we'll as with the firemen.
Mr.. Henningsen sent out sample copies
of the paper to the various fire in.
surance companies which he represents,
intending it as an illustration of the
fact that New Ulm is abreast of the
times in the matter of providing
modern apparatus for its fire fighting
forces. -. I'D

Coal, lumber and wood for fuel used

greatly reduced reight rates, securing
to this company traffic in these i'm
ports. f., .-:-5
The country through which the line
passes is the garden of Minnesota and
that the people need and desire the
road is evidenced by the fact that all
the villages and towns asked to do so
have voted handsome bond issues as
bonus, the propositions to bond be-
ing carried by votes of five and six to
one.
Duluth pays a better price for grain
than either Minneapolis or Chicago,
and it is by furnishing direct connec-
tion with this great tidewater market
that the Minnesota Central fills a long
felt want. Duluth exported last year
over thirty-three million bushels OF
wheat. The Minnesota Central between
Mankato and St. Cloud, will be the
nearest shipping point to Duluth for

C.-H. Mackenzie Of Gaylord, Mimi,
secretary of the Central Minnesota
Railway company, has issued pros
pectus, showing the most prominent
facts concerning the company's bust
ness, and giving the reasons why the
new railroad has been planned, says
the Mankato Free Press. =.
The capital stock of the new corpor-
alton is given as 100000, and the
bond issue as $4,000, 900 on ITO miles
of railway, consisting of five per cent
twenty-five year gold bonds in denom-
nations of ST., 1000. The directors of
the corporation are David H. Beecher,
president of the Union National bank,

The object and purpose of the Gen.
trail Railway company is to construct
and operate a line of railroad from
Mankato in Blue Earth county, rail-
road center of southern Minnesota, to
St. Cloud, Mimi, a distance of ITO
miles, thereby furnishing an outlet
for the products of the country along
this line of railroad, direct connection
being made at St. Cloud with the great
lake market of Duluth, thereby giving
the producers the advantage of Duluth
prices, for tide-water market.
The country between Mankato and
St. Cloud is a well-settled farming
region, offering no engineering diff
culties in the construction of the road.
The cost of construction per mile will
be as cheap as any railroad in the
state. T..
The counties of Blue Earth, Nicol-
let, Sibley, Mcleod and Meeker with
total of 1901, 173 acres valued at
S72, 1000, 900, practically all under cult
Walton, produce annually approx
mately six million bushels of wheat,
three and quarter million bushels of
oats, two and a half million bushels
of corn, eight hundred and fifty thou
sand bushels of barley, four hundred
thousand bushels of rye, besides pota-
toes and fax, also stock, butter, eggs,
veal and poultry, in immense quanti-
ties. The greater portion of these pro-
ducts will go over the Minnesota Cen
trail to Duluth on account of the better
market available there. VI. d
