This respond ent is advised and AYERS
that but two of the charges made
against him in said protests. either di-
rectly or by implication, are such as.
If true. could legally affect his right to
hold his seat in the senate.
These two charges are:
"1.-That the respondent is a poly

"2.-That he is bound by some oath
of obligation which is inconsistent with
the oath required by the constitution

MAN WITH A MANIA
FOR KILLING
A Condemned Murderer Who
Confesses to Having Com
mitted a Dozen Murders

Greensburg, Pa, Jan. 10.-Charles e.
Greensburg all next Thursday for the
murder of constable who was at
tempting his arrest, has made a con-
fession that stamps him as one of the
worst criminals the country has ever
known. He owns up to twelve murders
and innumerable other crimes.
One of the mysteries cleared up by
his confession is the murder of the
city treasurer, John Blevins, of New
castle, Pa, one of the most sensational
crimes ever committed in this section
Of the country and one that has baf-
fled the police for five years. The man
who so cody pleads guilty to kill ng
the twelve human beings is only q
years old. His first murder was COM
mitted when he was boy of. IA years.
Outside of the homicides, his most
desperate piece of deviltry was the
destruction of a railroad train of sew
enteen cars of the Pittsburg and West
ern railroad, which he ditched to get
even with the company for having
freight cars. So callous was he that
ne says he did not even read the ac-
count of the train wreck Of his own
making, and. so he says, does nos
know if he killed anybody or not on
that occasion. Nearly all the murders
were committed in order to get even
with somebody.
He threw a railroad detective under
the wheels of a passenger train be-
cause railroad detectives had interfer-
ID with his stealing rides.
He drowned a man in the Ohio river
ecause this man had not given him
what he considered his proper share
If the proceeds of a robbery, and shot
to death another man in order that
there might be no witnesses to this
murder
The crime for which his last We
tim--Constabie Beierer-tried TO ar
est him was the blowing up of the
house, which he did to get revenge
ipon its occupant.
Since he has been in prison for the
murder of Constable Beierer he has
made two attempts TO escape. once al
most succeeding. The circumstances
If these attempts have made it clear
hat Kruger is the leader of des-
perate gang of criminals who are Will
ng to take any risk to save him from
lhe gallows.
1t is due to this development that
he Greensbug Jail is now a fortified
camp. guarded by rilemen and pre-
pared to Withstand any attack in force
1t any time. There will be no relaxa-
tion of vigilance until the trap falls
beneath Kruger on Thursday morn
ng.
In many of his crimes, notably in the
murder OF Treasurer Blevins. Kruger
aad several accompliees; but, although
ne tells freely of his own doings i'll
nearly all his crimes, the most adroit
questioning has failed to surprise him
nto a denunciation of any Of his as
iociates in villainy.
He is perfectly old-blooded in his
narration of these murders, bul lnings
md robberies, talking of them with as
little emotion as if they concerned
somebody else.

WANT PAY FOR sHRINkAGE'
New UIm Men Would Recover Big
Damages For Stock.
Minnesota and Dakota Cattle Conn
pany Brings Suit.
Chicago & Northwestern Railroad
Company is Defendant.

Damages in the sum of $2,525 are
demanded by the Minneso ta and Dakota
Cattle company, whose headquarters
are in this city, in a suit instituted
Saturday by the local concern. The
Chicago & Northwestern Railway
company is named as the defendant
and the principal item upon which the
plaintiffs would recover is the shrink
age of 5000 pounds in weight of a
carload of stock shipped over the
Northwestern last fall They also have
minor claim.
The complaint of the cattle company
asserts that on Aug. 25, 1902, it
shipped SOL head of cattle from Pierre,
S. D., to Chicago, I'll. By the terms
of the carrying contract the railroad
company was to provide the animals
with hay enroute but this clause was
not complied with and the shippers
were forced to expend So each for
twenty-five carloads. They ask to be
reimbursed in the amount of $50.
Continuing further the complaint
says that on Oct. Is, 1903, the plain
tiff's shipped another consignment OF
72S head over the lines of the defend
ant. E. Upon this occasion the North
western is said to have agreed to pro-
vide two trains of twenty cars each
for the exclusive use of the Minnesota
and Dakota Cattle company. They
were not to pick up freight of any 9th
er description, were to run through to
Chicago without unnecessary stops
and have the stock in the Windy
City in thirty hours. .....
The trains left Pierre about 1l:3C
O'Clock October 18th but old engines
were used to pull them and frequent
stops were necessary. At Sanborn,
MIMI, and Belle Plain, Iowa, othe,
freight and stock cars were attached
with the result that the plaintiffs cat.
tie were ten hours late in reaching
Chicago. At the stock yards in thai
city the hour for weighing is II 'clocl
in the morning, but through the fail
ure of the railroad to bring the stocl
through on schedule time they were
| not ready.
This delay caused them to shrink il
| weight and the shrinkage is estimated
at $4,000 pounds. Computed at tn,
rate of Al cents per pound, the price
at which the cattle were marketed,
direct loss of S2,475 resulted. They
therefore, ask for So, 525 damages, will
interest at the rate of 6 per cent pc.
annum. Hoidale & Somsen are attor
neys for the plaintiff.

EDUCATORS COMP ARE NOTES
Lutheran Teachers Hold Instruct

Various Topics Relating to Their
Work Discussed.
Will Gather in Rochester, Mimi,

Lutheran teachers to the number of
nearly sixty, who are identified with
the Minnesota Synod and who came
from various cities throughout,Mi Mime

| New Ulm last week to attend the annu-
al synodical conference. The confer
ence openedsWednesday and lasted
until Friday. During that:period five
successful sessions were held, four of
them taking place in the parochial
school building on State street and the
other at DR.. Martin Luther college.
Vice-President G. Taggatz of Man
kato, occupied the chair in the absence
of the president and the pedagogues
devoted their time to the consideration
OF topics affecting educational work,
and particularly of that nature en-
countered in conducting schools Of a
religious denomination. Two of the
sessions were utilized Fin demonstrate
| ing practical school work, when class
es of chill dren were given biblical in
struction and object lessons, and at
| the remain der papers were read and
| discussed. The program was carried
out practically as published in the
| Review last week and it was of a most
Instructive character.
Wednesday evening special services
| were held in St.szPaul's Lutheran
church and at that time Prof. J. Schall
err delivered a sermon. treating of the
work of a Lutheran parochial school
teacher. His 1remarks were greatly
appreciated and the services were made
still more noteworthy by the singing

SEEDING OUTLOOK.

Some Of the enterprising papers of
the state are engaged in gathering
statistics as to the acreage of grain to
be put in this year and the result that
d larger wheat acreage will be sown
and more flax and feed for stock. How
ever true this may be in other parts of
the state it is not SO in this There was
less fall blowing done last year than
usual and this ground will undoubted-
ly be used for corn and very little of
it for fax, much of it will be sown to
clover and a large amount to oats.
More horses are being raised than
formerly and they require feed SO that
the wheat acreage cannot reasonably
be expected to be as large as usual
Farmers have also discovered that
to get the best results from their COWS
they must have them in condition to
give their largest amount of milk in
the winter time because of the actual
loss in the warm months, when flies
become a pestilence and the flow of
milk is reduced. To gain the best re-
suits they are beginning to see that
silos are indispensable and much of
the former wheat land will be employed
for the purpose of furnishing proper
ensilage. The creameries are becoming
the saving banks of the farms and are
being looked upon as such by the
farmers, for this reason it is hardly
possible that this county will again
see the time when wheat will be the
staple crop and the sole reliance of
the farm owner.

HIS FAVORS FORGOTTEN
Jacob klossner, Jr., Turned Down b.
City Council.

Jacob KlOssner, Jr., does not relish
the manner in which he was ousted by
the city council from the Olsen build
on North. Minnesota street, which has
been occupied jointly by the New Ulm
Land and Investment company and the
police department. He feels that
favors which the policemen received
at his hands in the past :entitle him to
more considerate Treatment and it
must be stated that he.has grounds for
taking umbrage at the action of the
aldermen.
Two years ago, he informs the Re-
view, and at the.personal request Of
Mayor Weschcke, he allowed the po-
lice to establish their headquarters in
his office, which they still occupy. He
imposed no charge for rental but re-
quested that the city pay it's fair share
of the heating and lighting expenses.
The police we're at that time with
out an otficeIand the arrangement he
offered was accepted by them as salts

When his lease expired few months
| ago the building was rented by the
city and he then made the request that
he be allowed desk room, agreeing to
pay for the privilege. When this
verbal petition was presented to the
council it was stated that he wanted
permission to occupy the staff on with
out compensation and on these grounds
the aldermen dismissed his appeal
summarily. Mr.. Klossner feels that
he was somewhat misrepresented and
this paper cannot see where his request
was not perfectly right and proper anc
one which the council could have
granted without hesitation

RObt. Dunn will not be he next GOV
ernor of Minnesota, and no one need
be surprised should his candidacy be
withdrawn before the date of the nom
mating convention. Mr.. Dunn has
been losing ground rapidly of late.
The slump in his candidacy began
from the date of the state editorial
meeting, in February. It had been
previously claimed that the country
press was almost solid for him, but
the meeting proved to the observing
ones that he could not muster a major
ity, with the Democrats counted out.
Then came the state and congressional
conventions, and the supreme court
decision on the merger, and Dunn
stock continues to drop. Mr.. Dunn
has certainly played a losing fight,
and his attitude on the merger in 1902,
and the backing of the merger crowd
in 1904, are the principal causes of his
undoing.

THE DuTYwE OWE.

Time is dealing with swift certainty
the sure toll of old age to the veterans
of the Civil war. The measure of their
active career is about full and the
days are numbered when they shall
longer count inthe political campaigns
of the country. The man who is elect
ed Governor of this state in the COM
ing election, if he lives through the
first term, will be given another if he
deserves it which will bring the date
to 1908. -Four years from now the men
who took part in the civil war, and to
whom the laws of the country have
justly given preference in the holding
of public Office, will have become too
old to take an active part in a cam
paign for Office.
This year will undoubtedly be the
last in which a veteran of the Civil
war will seek the high Office of COVER
nor of the state. Some may hold ap-
pointive Office but none will contest
for an elective Office. Two men are
before the republicans of the state ask
ing for the nomination of governor,
one a young man with many years of
active life before him, who has never
offered his life on the altar of patriot
ism, the other is a man whose ripe
knowledge finds it's surest excellence
in the wisdom with which he has ad-
ministered the Office of chief Justice
and who in the flush of young man
hood fOrsOok the avenues of private
honor and wealth to serve as a volun-
teer with the thousands from this state
who answered the call to arms in 1861.
1t would certainly seem fitting and
proper that in this epoch of the his
tory Of the state, the rising genera
ton, just about to sweep into full con-
troll Of public affairs, should pause
before taking possession of the last
bit of standing room on the stage OF
public life, and again turning their
recollection to the dark days of the
