COUNT voN wALDERsEE DEAD.

Eminent German Military Leader-His
 Wife, the Countess. Was Formerly of
 Connecticut.
 Berlin March 6.-Ffeld Marshal Count von Waldersee died yesterday after noon. Newspapers of all political shades publish eulogies of Count von Waldersee as a military leader and pat riot.
 The counts health had been impaired since his return from China, about three years ago and various minor maladies indicated that his strength was leaving him.
 The funeral of the late Field Marshal Count von Waldersee will be held at noon on Wednesday.
 Emperor William and Empress Au- gusta Victoria. all the members of the house Of Hohenzollern and the sover- eigns of all the German states, and also many eminent persons abroad have tel egraphed condolence to Countess von Waldersee.
 Marshal von Waldersee commanded the allied forces in China in 190O He had been conspicuous figure in Ger man military life for half a century, and filled many important positions.
 While Count von Waldersee was mt so voluntnous an author as Count von Moltke what he wrote was regarded as of the best quality. The only complete work on the Danish war, based on off, cial sources and published half anony- mously, was from his pen.
 In 1866 Count von Waldersee was married to the Princess Marie von Noer, the widow of Prince Frederick of Schleswig- Holstein. She is the daughter of a grocer who went to New York from Litchfeld. Conn. When he died his widow and his daughter, Mary Esther Lee went to live in Stuttgart. The daughter was an attractive young wo- man and gained access 10 the best so- ciety there. In Stuttgart she met Prince Frederick of Schleswig- Holstein, who renounced his title to marry her. This was in 1864. The prince was over seven ty years old, and his bride was twenty six. They made a trip to the Holy Land, and there, six months after the marriage, the prince died, leaving for tune to the young widow of about $4,- 100000. Soon after the death of Prince Frederick the emperor of Austria made his widow a princess in her own right, under the title of Princess von Noer. From that time she became conspicu- ous agure in Europe, but in political rather than social circles Two years after the death of her first husband she became Countess von Waldersee. She is credited with having brought about the marriage between the German emperor who was then Prince William of Prus- |sia, and the Princess Augusta Victoria, her grand niece by her first marriage, in the face of the Drotestations of the young princes mother The advance ment of Count von Waldersee is attrib- uted in no small measure to the fnflu- ence of the countess. During the short reign of Emperor Frederick Countess von Waldersee acquired great influence at the German court, and she has since retained a hioh ctanf7iner ir, pa,.liy,

Probate Judges of the State
Meet fer That Purpose

Thirty-five probate judges of the state
met yesterday and will continue in ses-
sion today in the Ramsey county probate
court room. The principal business is to
act upon the report of the committee ap-
pointed a year ago to prepare codi-
fication of the laws governing the Mime
sofa probate courts.
Frank T. Wilson, of Washington coun-
ty, the president, was in the chair, and
D. T. Calhoun, of Stearns county, the sec
retary-treasurer, made note of the hap
penings. Yesterdays proceedings were de-
voted entirely to discussion of the codi-
fication of the probate laws, making the
fees charged the same in all counties OF
the state. This includes the fees allowed
the physicians for the examination of al
legged insane persons.
A proposition that a hospital be erected
in the state for the treatment of persons
not really insane, but subject to decisions
for the first time, received some consider
alton. 1t was argued that a great many
persons are committed to the insane asy-
lums on the first complaint who are after
wards discharged and do not again show
signs of insanity.
The session will continue today, it being
expected that the discussion regarding the
codification will consume all of the fore
noon and likely some Of the afternoon.
The election of officers will take place this

RAINY WEATHER

September Closes at Nearly
Two Cents Above the Fig.
ures Of Wednesday

Rain all over the spring wheat belt
and no promises of an immediate ces-
sation of the downpeur caused Septem-
Der to close at SLIPS, IL cents above
the final figures of Wednesday.
The harvest weather is about as bad
as it can be and threshing reports con-
firm the early reports of small yields
and deteriorated crops. Reports from
all along the railroad lines tell of
shrunken berries, and all these in
; fiuences combined to make strong
opening and to keep prices up.
The close was at the top. The trad
ing was Of professional character,
and the general public seems to show
little disposition to get into the game.
Conditions are gloomy, bur there is no
sign of fireworks. Frost reports come
from the north but the damage has
not been serious and little attention is
paid to cold weather tales.
Cash wheat was in some demand,
and No. l northern sold at " cents
over September and No. northern at
the same figure below.
December closed at Slip, against
s1.10% Wednesday, and May at $1.1SB,
against S1.13 Wednesday.

THIEF WAS FEARFUL
Tried to Rob Conductor and
Crowd on Car Threatens :

Bert White feared for his life last night.
He was passenger on a Hennepin and
Twentieth avenue car and put his hands
in the pockets of the conductors coat and
distracted a quantity of nickels and
dimes. The conductor grappled him and
the crowd on the rear platform came to
his assistance and shouts of burning "a
rope" and hang him" filed the air.
Mr.. Whites countenance became bianch-
ed and he evidently feared his time had
come, for the crowd on the car was angry
and anxious to deal with the man who
sought to plumber the conductor.
Finally Capt. Getchell of the Fifth pre-
cinct, appeared, and White was given
cell in the central police station. He had
been captured before he was able to
pocket the plumber he had distracted
from the conductors pocket, and the
street car man suffered no loss.
