Then it was that he was appointed
regimental adjutant, with the rank of
first lieutenant, serving in that capac-
ity for eight consecutive years, there
by establishing a record which was
never before and has never since been
equalled in any military organization
in the United States.
In 1891 the demands made upon his
time by his bushes made it necessary
for him to resign in the face of
protests from all the officers of the
regiment. They were indignant at his
decision and when all reproaches
failed to move him they very grace
fully bowed to the inevitable and as
token of their appreciation of his serv-
ces and regret at his departure they
presented him with one of his most
cherished posessions-a handsomely
mounted watch charm.
Now, after a rest of twelve years,
he will again don his discarded uni
form, but this time it will bear the
straps of captain. Andrew J. Eek
stein is man of whom it is said that
he does all things we'll. Therefore the
sustenance department will be we'll
looked after, and the brigade may
count upon full stomachs and bliss
full existence into which gaunt hunger
will never intrude.
New Ulm's third representative upon
the staff, Capt. Einar Hoidole, has
never been connected with the Mime
sofa militia. His military experience
is limited to a short enlistment in the
battalion of cadets at the University
of Minnesota, although at the opening
of the Spanish-American war he did
organize a company at Madison,
Mimi, to go to the front. AS there
were dozens of companies for every
vacancy, however, Capt. Hoidale and
his men never saw service and we're
compelled to disband without having
received recognition at the hands
of the state authorities.
In other ways, however, the captain
is we'll qualified for the position to
which he has been raised. In it his
legal training will prove useful and
his erect bearing and serious mein
should inspire respect from his men
as we'll as add greatly to the general
appearance of staff already compos-
ed of distinguished looking officers.

DIES I: FROM INJURIES
Conductor Cassidy's Leg Crushed
and Mangled.
Falls Beneath Engine Pilot and is
Fatally Injured.
Died Monday From Shock in Hos
pital at Rochester.

D..
currences was brought to close Sat
urday afternoon by an unusually seri-
Gus accident in the Chicago & North
western yards. Conductor Michael
Cassidy, of the switching crew, was
the victim, he having his left leg fear
fully crushed and mangled and barely
escaping with his life.
The manner in which Cassidy was
injured was somewhat peculiar. At
$40 O'Clock in the afternoon he took
his crew down into the lower end of
the yards to do some switching near
the stockyards. The switch engine
was headed toward the westward and
pushed two box cars, which Conduc-
tor Cassidy intended to throw in upon
the stockyard siding. He himself
stood upon the footboard on the for
ward pilot that he might uncouple the
cars when they had gained the neces-
sary momentum.
AS the engine shunted the two
cars into the siding the yardmaster
drew the coupling pin, but in doing so
he lost his footing and slipped from
the narrow guard. Instantly he was
thrown to the ground and pushed
along beneath the pilot. finally having
his limb damned into frog, the sharp
guard-rail crushing the bone and
gourging huge piece of flesh from
the leg.
Fortunately for the yardmaster he
fell upon the right side of the locomo-
tive. AS he went down Engineer Thos.
Collins saw his predicament and with
great presence of mind reversed his
| engine and put on the air, unquestion-
ably saving his companion from in
slant death. Had Cassidy fallen upon
the opposite side out of the engineer S
sight, it would have been a physical
impossibility to have stopped the
ponderous machine in time to have
saved him. 80. =.
Strangely enough the injured man
did not lose consciousness. His
wounds panied him overwhelmingly but
he bore his sufferings sturdily and at
no time lost control of his faculties
With all possible haste he was extri-
Gated from his perilous position and
when DR.. 0. G. Stricken, the compa
ny surgeon, had been summoned, he
| ordered him taken to St. Alex ander
hospital. There it was found that the
bone above his knee joint was splint-
cred and the flesh upon the limb terri
bly, lacerated.
Saturday evening he was taken to
the Mayo hospital at Rochester and
for a time the physicians had hopes
! Of being able to save his leg. Shortly
after 5 o'clock Monday afternoon,
however, he passed away, not being
able to recover from the fearful shock.
Conductor Cassidy had been in the
employ of the Northwestern for a
great many years and bore the repu-
tation of a careful man, this being his
first accident. He was thoroughly
competent and had had charge of the
local yards for trifle more than three
months. His home was in Winona
and he leaves wife and two children.
Arrangements for the funeral have not
been made as yet,

New Ulm Team Won.

Sunday the New Ulm ball team went
to Springfield and gathered in the pig
skin manipulators of that place by a
margin of three runs. At the end of
the third inning the game was called
on account of the rain but after the
storm had ceased it was resumed. By
that time the field was a sea of mud
but the players paid no attention to
it's vile condition, the New Ulm
boys eventually proving themselves
the better waders. Emmerich and
Haberberg pitched for New Ulm and
Flor and Manske did the catching.
The score by innings was as follows:

NEW MICROBE FOUND.
1t Produces Strange Affection Known
as Californiaosis.
Nothing Cures Its Victims But an In
vestment in a Ten-Acre Col
Ony Lod of Pacific Coast
Territory.
Especial San Francisco letter.

"a ONE cynic has referred to it as
~ Californiaosis. 1t is not new
- affection, but only recently has
the microbe been isolated. City peo-
pie in the middle and eastern states
are known to be particularly liable to
its attack. A man picks up one of
those fascinating California real es-
tate booklets scattered SO profusely
and reads it. Thus the germ is intro
duced. 1t is present in full activity in
the seductive advertising bread cast
upon the waters by the enterprising
California colony promoter.
The colony booklet is easily recog-
nized and generally claims attention.
1t is a model of neat presswork and is
distinguished by title suggestive of
fruit and flowers and fragrant orange
groves. 1t is something one cannot
help perusing. The germ has a most
insidious way. The booklet is made
a handy pocket size, so you can defer
the pleasure of looking it over if not
convenient to do so when you pick it
up. The author usually leads with a
trump card. That is the invidious
comparison of the Californian's eli
matte blessings and the frigid woes of
all citizens whose lot is cast east of
the Sierra Nevada mountains. AL
though his style is frank, he does not
in actual words call the reader an
idiot.
But by implication he stamps that
reader a blithering one to continue
living in a region where the mercury
in the thermometer has disagreeable
trick of hunting its lair during half
the year. Invariably the reader adj
mits his climate might be better. 1t
takes the colony booklet to make him
realize how very bad it is. Then in a
fascinating way the booklet recounts
the horticultural joys of the Honey
Vale colony or the Marmalade Valley
colony or some other sweet-scented or

IN HIS FIRST OVERALLS.

of land, the bogus promoter begins
unloading his glittering cubes on trust
ing fasteners. Any kind of old land
will do for this purpose. The soil in
these places is often good, but is offset
by disadvantages of location. But
generally it is some place bought
cheap, some bowling wilderness
where the fowls of the goose family
hold their fall symposium. Filled with
the Barnum belief that the American
people love to be gulled, the bogus pro-
moter goes joyously to work. The
goose haunt which the pioneers NAV
have named Mules Head Flat will be
newly named Umpta Vista Rancho or
something equally euphonious and
Spanish by the bogus promoters. 1t
will then be duly subdiyided and plat
ted and, 10, Umpta Vista colony be-
comes a fact.
The next thing, of course, is book
let. Right here is where the inventive
genius of the colony CRATER dazzles.
The booklets of those shady promot-
ers are a mass of Misrepresentation
with a bare substratum of fact. If
the proposition really possesses ad-
vantages these are sure to be exagger-
ated in a manner that is fraudulent.
AS a rule too much happiness is Of
fered for the money. Scenes depicted
in many of those booklets do not ex-
list in the colony advertised. Repro
auctions of photographs are convinc-
ing things. But it is not an uncom-
mon fraud to embellish colony book
let's with views of beautiful homes and
landscapes rich in luxuriant tropical
foliage that exist elsewhere.
If you have chronic longing for
California; if the microbe has entered
your blood, come here. Possibly you
will never feel settled or happy until
you do. But do not buy your ten-acre
ranch by mail. Come and look that
colony over. If the colony you
dreamed about does not suit you on
examinations; if it does not come up
to the promoters representations, you

pleasant tasted colony, where a man
may own his own private fig tree I'M
der which he can dream away his life
through changeless balmy days.
The germ has entered and the reader
wishes for more literature of like
delightful kind. He gets it, this time
with plats, with accompanying de-
scriptions and prices of the various
charming ten-acre ranches on which
the Door frost-bitten dweller in the
east may build himself a rose
wreathed cot where life will never be
disturbed by anything harsher than
the hum of bees or the rustling of the
chrysanthemums.
The literature is as fascinating as
the poets. But if you perform such
course of reading it would be well to
allow a liberal discount off all state
ments set forth therein.
The eastern city man performs his
| course, and in due time the fever is in
him, and usually it is gnawing,
| hankering, but sometimes it is in the
form of consuming desire to set out
| forthwith and emulate the man with
the hoe on some sunny spot, alluringly
! printed in the booklet. The humor of
! the thing is in the vague notions of the
| farming career which city-bred people
imbibe from the colony booklet. The
most hopeful people who come here to
| further the agricultural industries are
those whose experience of things ru-
raj has been gathered from the seat of
a suburban trolley gar.
The city mans first investments at the
village general store is a pair of over
alls. Worn with clothes of the city
! stamp these make him an homogeneous
and laughable figure. The makeup is
the label of the tenderfoot. When a
crowd of the kind winds it's way to the
post office at mail hour it looks like the
grand march at a masquerade ball. 1t
takes wears for the colonist from the
city to acquire the natural rural aban-
don in matters of costume.
The colonist's apprenticeship is full
of woe. Between him and the COW the
relations are often strained during the
first months. In fear and trembling
his wife accompanies him every time
he goes to attempt the feat of milking,
and inwardly vows she will have him
secure an accident policy before anoth-
err milking time comes round. In his
tenderfoot days milking reduces The

CRATER, whose proposition is piece
of barren solitude and wind. The sue
cess of the earlier colonies in south
ern California became an incentive to
honest promoters north and south. In
both places to-day are many new col
onies that possess the advantages
claimed (some discount off, of course),
and which provide people with small
means an opportunity to make a pleas
ant home. But what was incentive to
the honest promoter was opportunity
