The emperor, continuing, said,
a glance of Germany's own inter-
nal possessions cannot fail 10 disclose
the fact that we have continually to
reckon with misconceptions Of German
ways of thinking and prejudices

between US and France in the Morocco
question had no other origin than in a
disposition to settle without Germany's
participation in questions on which the
German empire also has interests TO

READY FOR TIES AND IRON.
Two Weeks Time Viii See Them Laid
on New Road.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Reports from along the line of the
"Alphabet" railroad indicate that good
progress is being made with the grad
ing and piling aid that with continu-
ance, of favorable weather the road bed
will be ready for ties and iron between
the st. Louis line and Freedom in about
two weeks. Grading between Freeborn
and Cream is being pushed and all the
contractors have been reinforced by more
men. Mr.. Tobie is at Freedom looking
after various affairs and is satisfied with
the progress of the work. He has plans
drawn for all sidetracks and station
buildings, the sites for which have been
located.
1t is the fixed purpose of the COM

as far as Cream before snow files and
work will be advanced yet beyond al
though it seems scarcely probable, owing
to engineering difficulties, that any
track will be laid beyond Cream this
year.-Albert Lea Standard.

ANOTHER UNDER SUSPICION
New Uim Attorney Discusses the New
Ulm Murder Mystery.

Joseph A. Eckstein, the well known
New Ulm attorney, who was in St
Cloud last night, says that suspicion
at New Ulm now rests on another par
ty than DR.. Koch as guilty of the Geb-
hard murder, says The Journal Press.
'Some of us are not so sure that the
murder of the dentist was not commit
ted by another New Ulm man." Mr.
Eckstein said. "The evidence against
this suspected party is not conclusive
and at first did not Joint to his guilt
as clearly as the authorities believed it
indicated that DR.. Koch committed the
murder. OF late, however, things are
coming to light that indicate the iden-
tity of the murderer and there may yet
be another big sensation at New Ulm in
the Gebhard murder case. There is
still deep feeling at New Ulm over the
trial of DIR. Koch but on the surface the
bitterness is somewhat allayed."
Mr.. Eckstein is secretary of the New
Ulm Stone company Of New Ulm, cor
poration manufacturing crushed stone
and quarrying building quartzite. His
visit to st. Cloud was to look into
methods in the st. Cloud quarries. He
is an old friend of Supt. Frank L. Ran
dali of the state reformatory and was
Mr.. RandalPs guest while in the city.

BANKS ARE INTERESTED.
Important Proposition Taken to At
torney General for Decision.

The right of bank to list real estate
held in the name of director was car
ried up to the attorney general by the
state board of equalization. The ques-
ton involved is one of considerable in
terest to bankers and will undoubtedly
influence assessments in many cases.
Banks are allowed to deduct from
their capital stock for assessment the
amount of real estate held. In the
case of the State Bank of Heron Lake
a farm, valued at $4,000, was deducted
from the capital stock of the bank al
though the farm is held in the name of
the director of the bank.
The county board of equalization al
lowed the deduction to stand but has
now asked the state board to take up
the matter. The assessment will un-
doubtedly be changed as the law is very
clear up the matter. Banks are al
lowed to carry real estate only in the
name of the bank. They are not al
lowed to hold it as an investment but
are allowed to take it only in the set

COLTS STEP UP SOME.
State Board Raises the Valuation on
These Animals.

From Wednesdays Daily.
The state board of equalization gave
its attention to horses today, and as a
result large number of counties, max
ing returns of one and two year old
colts received increases.
On o-year-olds, half the counties i'll
the state were increased, the average
raise being 10 per cent. Jackson, Mobiles,
Stearns. Pipestone and Polk counties
were swelled 20 per cent on this one
class
In one-yearolds, Red Lake, Benton
and Polk counties suffered raises of p
per cent. Hennepin county got 10 per
cent raise on two yearolds.
Ramsey county did not get an in
crease in either class. The return was
allowed to stand.
The average valuation for two year
Odds is $l7.7O and T. J. Meghen tried to
have this reduced to SIG. but was not
successful.
Henry Posi- and Theodore Leob. of Wi
mona county, appeared before the board
to protest against any contemplated
raise in the returns and merchandise
from that county. Winona shows less
than last years return and the two rep
resentatives claimed that this was due to

BIG BARN BURNED.
Oscar Brown Pleasant Mound Farm
er is Heavy Loser.

From Fridays Daily.
A fire broke out in the barn of Os-
car Brown on his farm i'm the township
of Pleasant Mounds, Tuesday evening
at about $3.50 and was quickly consum-
ed also the entire contents. The origin
of the fire is quite mystery, says The
Amboy Herald. A threshing crew had
slept on the hay in the barn the night
before and it is thought that a fire
from a match or a pipe had been smold-
ering all day in the bedding. In less
than five minutes after the fire was dis
covered the interior of the barn was
one mass of flames and the building
and contents were doomed. His loss
aside from the barn and ice house was
seventy loads of hay. Hiram Graham
had rented the farm for the ensuing
year and was just moving in. His loss
was a fine team of horses, 100 bushels
of oats and calf; his hired mans loss
was a colt. Henry Cook, who worked
the farm this year, lost a horse and
three sets of harness. The barn was
54x7O with twenty foot posts. Insur-
ance on the barn, 81 800.
