"On to Charleston is the cry OF old
and young this week. The reunion ofthe
old Confederate veterans is in full blast
and Charleston is in blaze of glory. The
ty'sgates have been thrown open to those
who barred their bosoms to the invading
foe on the field of carnage in defense OF
their homes and loved ones. Many men,
ories of trials, hardships and campfire in
cidents are revived this week. Let those
brave and honored sons of Carolina enjoy
their declining years as they see fit, for
one by one they are gradually passing
over the river to rest under the shade OF
the trees"

SCALDED BY COFFEE.
Johnnie Robb Receives Some Terrible
Burns on the Face.

Johnnie Robb, the six year old son of
Police Officer Robb, was severely scald-
ed about the right side of the face, hand
and neck with hot coffee about noon yes
terday at the family residence, 226 Locust
stree. The little fellow was standing
near the stove when his older brother,
Dan, a child of eight, attempted to put
some coal into the fire. In some way the
older boy knocked over the coffee pot,
spilling the contents over the smaller
child. Little Johnnie ran into the room
where his father was sleeping and the
latter instantly awoke. Prompt appli-
cation of kerosene and soda soon reliev-
ed the pain to a tolerable degree. 1t is
question whether the burn will leave
any permanent mark or not.
This is the second calamity of the
kind that has happened in the family.
Seven years ago, when Mr.. Robb had
his home on Van Brunt street, his three
year old daughter was badly SCARED with
burns on one side of the body, her dress
having been caught by the flames of a
bonfire.

ANDREWS AND CLARK
will Assist C. o. Daley in Defending
City in Barber Suit.
From Thursdays Daily.


Attorneys G. N. Andrews and A. E.
Clark will assist City Attorney Daley in
defending the city of Mankato against
the suit brought by the Barber Asphalt
Paving company to collect money al
legged to be due for the paving and other
wise improving of Broad street. Mr..
Daley has had in mind for several days
the selection of these gentlemen, and
after interviewing the mayor and mem
bers of the council on the matter, and
learning that they would approve of the
choice, he made the appointments of as
sistant counsel today.
1t is fair to say that City Attorney
Daley has been favorable to the selec-
ton of local attorneys to assist him in
the trial of the case, but he desired the
privilege of choosing those who are to
give him that assistance.
Both Messrs Andrews and Clark are
well known, and they are lawyers of
ability who will see to it that the city's
interests are well protected. Mr.. Clark
owned property on Broad street at the
time the thoroughfare was paved, and
thus the property owners on that street
are represented in the case.

ed with having passed an imitation of

Couple Of Boer Officers Who Made Ex'
travagant Promises.
Promised to Locate Large Colonies of
counirymen in Montana.
Turns Out That These Men We're Not
Acting on Authority.
However, They Had Right Royal Time
While Travelling About.

The two Boer officers who lectured
in several Minnesota cities this winter
are alleged to be on the make. Their
talks proved little Disappointing to
many who heard them, but no one sup
posed they were not the genuine article
and honest in carrying out the repre-,
sensations they made That they were
officers who served in the Boer war is
true, but it is now developed that their
claim that they were authorized to pick
lands for .Boer colonization is entirely
false, and they themselves have now
owned up to it. President j. j. Hill of
the Great Northern road is one of the
men who have been victimized by them.
Mr.. Hill is said to have spent consid-
cradle money in an effort to get these
two officers to select lands in eastern
Montana for their colonization scheme.
The officers, it now develops, are un-
able to deliver the goods" and are in
the United States primarily to "get the
money"
The information comes in private
advices from Montana which state that
the two officers were recently taken
into the Snake river valley country and
entertained at the company's expense.
They expressed their satisfaction at the
appearance of the country, that it looked
good to them and said they would bring
large settlements, and made many prom
Uses, but when asked to return at once
to South Africa hesitated and finally re-
fused.
It was subsequently discovered that
a long lecture tour occupying the next
two years is planned. The two officers
finally tacitly admitted to the railway
officials that the colonization scheme is
myth and that the sole object of their
trip is to lecture for private gains. An
official of the Great Northern is quoted
as saying:
"Neither one is able to deliver a single
Boer family. The entire colonization
scheme is fake, pure and simple, for
the purpose of advertising the lectures
these two men are giving"
The two officers were entertained in
st. Paul at President ]. J. Hill's mag
nifcient home, and were later the guests
of United States infantry officers at
Fort Smelling, and also were given re-
ceptions and dinners by local Hibernians
and other Irish organizations.

Against It.
From Tuesdays Daily.

from tuesdays DAILY.
New Ulm, Mimi, Feb. l6.-Silver D.
Green, son of j. j. Green, editor of The
News of this city, was arrested today
charged with forgery. His hearing was
continued until the 25th inst, and he was
released on $500 bail. The case grew out
of a divorce proceeding started just a
year ago. Mrs. Green at that time sued
for separation, charging cruelty to both
herself and their infant son.

TELLS A SAD STORY.
Mrs. NuebeI Says Life With Her Hus-
band Was Not Pleasant.

William Neubel showed up again in
town last Friday. His deserted wife,
who had not seen him or heard from
him since he left for Minneapolis last
September, had had warrant sworn out
for his arrest on the charge of non
support. The warrant has not ben serv-
ed pending negotiations for settlement.
Neubel wants his wife to grant him
divorce and offers to pay her 500 and
stand expenses. She wont listen to it.
She wants him to live with her and their
little boy, fifteen months old.
The young wife's story is pitiful.
When child four years old she was
placed by her parents in the st. Joseph's
orphan asylum at Minneapolis. Both
these parents are dead. A year later
she was taken into the family of Albert
Theissen and raised and educated in
Mankato. Here she had excellent care.
At the age of sixteen she went to work
in the knitting mills. Here she met Will
lam Neubel, a young dyer, not much
older than herself. Three years later,
or year ago last August they were
married. A son was born. They lived
on Second street.
The girl tells hard story of life with
her husband, who she says cruelty beat
her.
Some time ago the deserted wife began
an action against Neubers mother to re-
cover $40 for her share in the furniture,
which she claims the mother gave joint
ly to her and her husband at the time of
their wedding. She thought if she could
secure so much money she can get to
Minneapolis and place her boy in the or
phan asylum while she herself worked.
This suit is now pending in the munich
pal court.

AGED COUPLE SEPARATED.
They Find That Marriage Is q Fail
ura in Their Case.

The divorce case of Augusta Heiner
VS.. Henry Heiner was tried this forenoon
before Judge Cray. The defendant
withdrew his answer, and the trial was
had on the proofs of the plaintiff. G. L.
Benedict appeared for the plaintiff and
Arthur Schaub for the defendant.
The court this afternoon granted the
divorce on the ground of cruel and in
human treatment. The parties were
married two years ago last Saturday.
The plaintiff is SO years old, and the
defendant 81. The court finds that the
health of the plaintiff has become materi-
ally impaired and because of this it is
unfit and improper that she should long
er live with the defndant.
