The case of Anton Won Heiden,

BOughton, defendants, was tried in
Justice Henze's court before jury last
Saturday. The case was brought by
the plaintiff to recover the balance of
wages alleged to be due him for hav-
ing worked for the defendants on
their farm as q hired man. He claimed
that he had worked for the defendants
from about April 1, 1908, without
agreeing upon the amount of wages he
was to receive, and therefore asked for
what his wages were reasonably worth.
The defendants contended that thev
had hired him on a contract for one
year from April 1, 1903, at $3.50
year, and that they again renewed the
contract at the same figures on April 1.
1904, and that said contract did not ex-
pire until Abril l. 1905; that by reason
of his having broken this contract by
leaving them on January l, 1905, his
action should be dismissed. The de-
PENDANTS further asked that the amount
of wages which they had already paid
him. should be returned to them, name
ly $40 10. The jury found for the
plaintiff and gave him a verdict in the
sum Of $103. 90 and costs. amounting
in all to $12864. Kading & Kading
were the attorneys for the plaintiff and
0. G. Hahn appeared for the defend
ants

The Death Record.

William Beisrer, a we'll known resi-
dent of this city, and blacksmith by
profession, died suddenly of heart fail
ure Saturday afternoon. Mr.. Beitner
was a good mechanic and for years
worked as tCclmaker for the Kunert-
Dornfeld company. Weakness of the
heart compelled him to abandon his
iabors and retire. Recently he and
his wife had opened up a grocery on
North Second street. and although Mr..
Beitner had had a severe attack a
week before, he had rallied and was
able to be about. The last attack
proved too much for his weakened
system, however, and he passed
away quickly and without great suf-
fering.
Mr.. Beisner was born at Columbus,
Wis, April 20, 1851, and took up his
residence here when still quite young.
He is survived by his widow, two sons
and two daughters. An inquest was
held at Justice Stacey's Office Monday
morning.. The funeral took place
Wednesday afternoon from the home.

lister of the Moravian church. who nad
been living here for some time past,
died suddenly at his home, SO Norvh
Fig hth street Monday morning, heart
failure being the cause of death. De-
ceased came here from Nazareth, Pa.
He was for many years successful
worker for his church, until old age
compelled him to retire from regu-
lar charge. But he was quite often
called upon to aid other ciergYmen,
a duty he was ever readJ to perform.
He was also assistant editor Of the
Moravian church paper, der Brueder
ObeT Lansitz, Saxony, where he first
saw the light of day September II.
1884. The funeral will be held Thurs
day afternoon at 1870, with services at

st. Petersburg, April 15.-11:26 p. N.
The week closes with the govern
ment's eyes and hopes centered on
Vice Admiral Rojestgensksy, and grad
TALLY something like grave enthusiasm
has been aroused by the Russian almi-
rails hardihoOd in sailing straight for
a combat with the Japanese. There
are many naval officers who do not
believe that Vice Admiral Togo will
accept this challenge. In their opinion
the japanese will be too prudent in
such crisis to risk the destruction OF
their fleet. They believe that TogO's
tactics will be to avoid an open sea
fight. and that he will launch a series
of desperate night torpedo attacks in
the hope of throwing the Russian fleet
into confusion, scattering the line of
ships, and giving his faster battleships
and cruisers an opportunity to sur
round and destroy them individually,
and if some of Rojestvensky's ships
escape to Vladivostok to bottle them up
there.
For the moment the conservative
cOunsels of the peace party, which
realizes that the military situation will
be utterly hopeless if Rojestvensky's
feet is completely destroyed, and con-
siders it best to open negotiations be-
fore the issue is put to a test, are rude
ly thrust aside. The admiralty clam
orS for chance to retrieve it's reputa-
tion and the war party generally seems
to be convinced that Russia's position
will not be worse if the battle is lost,
while the destruction Of Togo's fleet
would spell ruin for the Japanese The
emperor himself, it is understood, ex-
presses great confidence in victory and
should victory come he will undoubted-
ly fix the imperial seal to the big nayaI
programme perpared by the admiral

st. Petersburg, April 15.-M. Witte,
president of the committee of minis
