Second District Claim.

The Albert Lea Tribune is pushing
along the candidacy of A. d. Gray of
Preston, for state railroad commissioner
Preston is in the first congressional
district, and has a member of the, SUI
preme bench to its credit, besides several
other state officers, not to mention the
governor. The question incidentally
arises, does the first district want to
play the part of hog in the next state
convention? Is the first district, along
with the balance of the state going to
throw the second district down? Why
not give to this section of the state one
of the railroad commissionerships and
let it go at that. The second district is
modest in its request.
Although the second district has al
ways stood nobly by the Republican
ticket and has never failed to roll I'D
good big majorities for the candidates,
yet its demands for recognition at the
hands of the party have never, extended
beyond the limits of extreme modesty.
This year the Republicans of the Sec
ond district are entitled to better treat
ment than has been accorded to it in
past years. If they do not receive it.,
well-they will not do the baby act and
bolt the ticket, but they will at the

HERMAN LORENZ DEAD
An Old Settler Passes Away at Noon
Today.

iOhi uCoodJ Ddhys
Herman Lorenz, seventy years old,
for thirty years resident of Mankato,
died about noon today at his residence,
4l6 State street His death was caus-
ed by la grippe, complicated with vari-
Gus ailments due to senile debility. He is
survived by his daughter, Miss Elsie Lor-
enz, living at the parental home; one
stepson, Ray Spencer, "a printer, of Tex
as, Mo-; and one step daughter, Mrs.
a. H. Beebe, residing on Carroll street.
Herman Lorenz was born at Tenn
pin, near Berlin, Germany, Aug. I. 1884.
When quite young man he emigrated
to America, living for a time in Mis-
souri,, but later taking up his residence
in st. Paul. He always followed the
trade of florist, in which he made him
self thoroughly proficient by long and
arduous study. Thirty years ago he
came to Mankato where he continued in
the same business. He used to run the
fine green house on the corner of Mar
shall and State, but has lately rented
out the place to Neil Nielsen.
Mr. Lorenz was great lover of home,
so much so in fact, that he never cared
to mix in public life, either in So
cial or political way. Yet he was well
known to great many local citizens,
and was highly respected by all who
knew him.
The funeral will be held next We'd
nesday afternoon from the family home
on State street at two o'clock. The
services will be conducted by Rev. E. L.
Heermance, pastor of the Congregation
al church. The interment will be in

Grover a Dark Horse.

The Winona Republican and Herald
has taken Grover Clevland's measure,
and pronounces the sage a dark horse
for the Democratic presidential nomi-
nation The foundations for this be-
lief are based upon the repeated appear
ance of Former President Cleveland in
the political arena by his contributions
ON the Chicago riot, his reason for issu-
ing 1862 100000 interest bearing bonds,
and his vehement denial that he ever
fned with a negro as all pointing signi-
2fcantly to the one conclusion, that Mr..
Cleveland would not be disappointed if
presidential lightning should strike him
at st. Louis. The sage of Princeton is
undoubtedly convinced that Parker is
an ephemeral candidate. Hearst ga De-
mocratic nightmare" and German and
Oiney only mere shadows on the politi-
cal horizon, and in this Democratic di-
lemma he sees chance for his own ro-
tund figure to loom up as portentious
factor in determining the outcome of
the national convention. Be this as it
may, it must be gratifying to Mr.. Cleve-
land and his bondloving friends in the
east to know, that two successive Repub-
lican administrations have succeeded in
paying all but $l,l5l 200 of the first
Sl00,000,000 loan of his administration
and treasury, officials predict that the
entire amount will be closed up within
the next few months.
This particular legacy of Mr.. Cleve-
land cost the government just $32, 1885,
OFT a sum which would have come
within a few millions of the amount
necessary to pay for the Panama canal
property, and is monument to the wis
dom and economy of Democratic finan-
ciering.

st. Clarifies Still Discuss the Recent
Find on McGovern Farm.

st. Clair, May 1.-THE skull, exhumed
by Mr.. McGovern continues to excite
curiosity and interest The explanations
accounting for it are deemed unsatis-
factory by many. A more recent opin-
ion attributes it to peculiar charac-
ter who once worked about here. His
identity was unknown as he always
steadfastly refused to tell either his
name or whence he came. AS he labor
ed generally at draining marshes, he was
| dubbed "the old ditch digger" One day
, he disappeared and has never been heard
, of since. 1t seems not at all unlikely
that he wandered off in the lonely place
where the skull was found and there
died.

R0EL0FS0N FINED.
He Aided in the Escape of Man
Wanted BY the Police.
From Wednesdays Daily.

eOAAA w SNSS~y 1Ahys
0. Roelfson, who holds position at
the union depot, was arrested this FORE
noon on the charge of assault in the
third degree. The charge was rather
unusual, and was to the effect that
Roelfson had concealed and aided and
allotted the escape of H. w. Wilson, who
is wanted on the charge of assault in the
third degree upon Ira King few nights
ago. Roelfson is the party who drove
with Wilson to ST.. Peter and left him
there and then tried to give the police a
"stalP by saying that he had been to
Eagle Lake.
Roelfson pleaded guilty to the charge
and the court gave him serious talk
ing to and told him that the fine could
be made 800, but owing to his previous
good character the fine would be but
$40 and costs, $l465 in all. Roelfson
paid the fine.
1t is believed that Wilson was con-
cealed in a certain North Front street
saloon on the night of the assault, and
if enough evidence can be procured the
proprietor of this place will be arrested
on the same charge, SO Chief Donahue
states. 1t is intended to make all who
had anything to do with Wilson's es-
cape suffer.
The officers have been unable thus
far to obtain any track of Wilson. A
party at Owatonna supposed to be he
turned out to be some one else.
