Lists Will Be Held a Few Days
For C0rrec tiOns.
Question Whether The City's
Population Is 1000.
Every Resident will Be Needed
to Reach Figure.

From Fridays Daily.
This is the last day for the taking of
the census, but the enumeratOrs have
ten days in which to make their reports
to the state headquarters. They will
hold their lists two OF three days, and
if anyone has any name that ought
to be added this can be done. 1t may
be that parties have been overlooked,
although very careful canvass of the
city has been made No attempt has
been made to pad the lists, and the re-
will very fairly show what the popu-
lation of the city is. Under the in
structions, a large part of the students
attending the different schools in the
city have not been counted, although
they are a part of the actual popula-
ton of the city.
The director of the census, replying
to letter of inquiry, informs the Free
Press that the result of the count will
not be given out before August lst, or
until the count in the state has been
completely tabulated.
While no figures can be obtained
from the local enumerators or anyone
connected with the taking of the census,
there is reason to believe that the pop
ulation of the city viii turn out to be
just about 1000. In order that it may
be above rather than below that figure
it will be necessary for all names that
have been omitted to be added.
A guess as to the results in the differ
ent wards at this time might not be out
of place. Five years ago the population
of the first ward was found to be
2,OS4 and it may be found that it hard
ly varies from that figure at this time.
The second ward had 2,053 population
five years ago, and gain of about
forty this year would be about right.
The third ward five wears ago contain
ed l,572 persons, and if it should fall
80 short of that this year it would
not be surprising. The fourth ward
had l,7S7 population five years ago,
and a gain of 100 may be shown. The
fifth ward five years ago led the other
wares with a population of 2,lO6, and
will probably still lead, with about
$3.50. The sixth ward i've years ago
had 997 population and this wear it
may pass the 1000 mark and have
some fifteen to spare. These figures
would indicate a population about 10
short of 1000, but it may be that
they are too conservative. More names
also may be added that it would be
difficult to estimate unofficially.

PICKED UP NEW EVIDENCE.
Both State and Defense in Koch Case
Seem Active.

Deem ACtive.
From Wednesday, Daily.
New Tim. Mimi. July 5.-Deputy
Sheriff Brust of this county has finish
ed subpoenaing witnesses for the de-
Tense in the Koch trial. which is to open
at Mankato Thursday morning. The list
does not include any new witnesses, but
it is known that there will be some
when the time comes for the introduc-
ton of evidence.
There will be some new testimony rel
ative to the ownership of the hammer,
and along other lines that the defense
refuses to discuss, but will 90 so far as
to say that it is more important than
any of the new evidence that was in
troduced at the first Mankato trial.
There will be no change in the at
torneys for the defense and it is not
probable that there will be any material
change in the force of attorneys for
the state. Albert Pfaender will leave
with Company A of the state militia for
Lake City on the morning of the 9th,
and will be in camp for one week, or at
least during the drawing of the jury He
has succeeded to the captaincy
of the company, and is anx-
ious to have the drill experience of the
encampment, so will leave the drawing
of the jury to the Mankato attorney and
to General Childs.
DR.. Koch is looking well and has not
missed a day from his office since he
was released from the custody of the
sheriff of Blue Earth county He will
be the guest of his relatives in Man
kato during this trial. as he was dur
ing the last.
The state has been active in efforts
to strengthen its case. One thing that
has attracted attention is the attempt
to disprove the statement of the defense
that it is impossible to see into the
rooms of Dr. Koch's office from the porch
vi the SloHt uulIuillS, dS SIlHcu " W
Miss Wiedemann.
A party that made test the other
evening gained access to the building
unknown to the young man who sleeps
there, and he was startled to hear some
persons moving about in the rooms over
his head. He secured revolver and at
tempted to gain admission to the rooms,
demanding to know who was there, but
could get no reply and, fearful that the
intruders would get away, FASTENED to
the porch in the rear and was surprised
to discover several prominent men of the
city making their way out of the win
dow and across the roof of the Eibner
building to the Crone porch
Recognizing the brass buttons of the
chief of police and the forms of some of
the business men of the city, he refrain
ed from giving the alarm, and the Incl
dent passed off without further noice

MRS. VAN CLEVE'S NATAL DAY
Well Known Lady Given Reception BY
Her Friends.

From Monday Daily.
Mrs. Charlotte 0. Van Cleve is eighty
six years old today, says The Mime
celebration in honor of the anniversary,
but the members of the family and the
old friends visited Mrs. Van Cleve to
offer their congratulations. The past
year has touched Mrs. Van Cleye ten
derby and she seems no older than on
her last birthday. She keeps her active
interest in present day matters and is
still an eager reader of newspapers and
magazines. She has never quite recover
ed from the effects of fall OH polish
ed floor six years ago, so she is not able
to get out as much as her friends wish
Her last appearance in public was at
the marriage of her granddaughter and
namesake, Miss Rebecca Van Cleve, to
Rev John H. Nicolls, which took place
in May.
1t is very fitting that Pioneers Day
should fall OH Mrs. Van Cleve's birth
day, for the story of her life might be
said to be the story of Minneapolis
She has lived in her present home, on
Fifth street southeast for forty-three
years, and from babyhood she has been
almost continuous resident of Mime
sofa. She loves to talk of the past and
tells many a tale of those early pioneer
days, of Fort Smelling, which her faith
er's regiment built; the coming of the
first steamboat and of her experiences
with the Indians.
Mrs. Van Cleve was the daughter OF
Lieutenant and Mrs. Nathan Clark and
was born at Fort Crawford, near Prairie
du Chen. In 1886 she was married to
Lieutenant H. p. Van Cleve at Fort
Winnebago. They had seven children
six sons and one daughter-and all are
living, although only two of her sons
are still in Minneapolis. DIR. S. H. Van
Cleve and his family reside with Mrs
Van Cleve in the old home, where the
days pass quietly, in striking contrast
to the stirring events that followed Mrs
Van Cleve's early life.
Mrs. Van Cleve has a number OF
friends in Mankato where she has visited
several times as delegate to conven
tons.
