MILLIONS r0R EQUIPMENT.
The Philadelphia and Reading and the
Central Railroad of New jersey
Are In the Market for Six Thousand Fraiob,
Cars.

The Philadelphia & Reading and
the Jersey Central Railroad Com
panies are in the market for 8 900
freight cars. This increase in roll.
ing stock will take over SO, 900, 900
It is the largest order for cars ever
given by these companies. George
+. Baer is president of both com
panies, the Reading Company nomi-
mating the Central as owner of a
majority Of the stock Both are in
need of more coal carriers as well
as cars for general freight use.
When the order is placed it will be
for the delivery OF the cars next
year. Owing to the general de.
mand for freight cars by nearly all
the railroads some trouble is ex-
perienced in getting the orders
placed. President Baer is nego-
tlating with several companies and
it is thought that some definite ar
rangement will be reached within a
short time At the meeting OF the
directors of the Central Railroad
Company of New Jersey last weel;
President Baer was authorized to
increase the equipment. Similar
authority had been given by the
Philadelphia & Reading Railway
Company Board OF Directors some
time ago. All the railroad officials
are getting ready to handle mkt
a larger business than they have
ever one and the number of cars
ordered is the largest in the history
OF the railroads.

Wake Me Up When Kirby Dies.

Your "Old Bowery Frequenter" in

origin of the saying wake me up

years ago since tom" Hamblin was
the proprietor and likewise one Of
the principal actors in the old Bowery
Theatre, New York. He was noted
for the spectacular and intensely pa
triotic plays which he produced for
the benefit of the Bowery boys espe-
cially; plays abounding in patriotic
speeches and blood and thunder"
Among his actors was one named Kir-

ed, but his great forte was in the
last act, when after performing prodi-
gles of valor. he would wrap the
American flag around him, fire off two
pistols and die all over the stage
These finales were great things for the
boys, and if they felt drowsy during
the earlier part of the performance. as
some of them were apt to be, they
would carefully charge their com
panions to wake me up when Kirby
dies"
This was the true origin of the well
known saying.-Letter in Philadel-

Who PAYS THE STATES ATTORNEY
Does Change ofYenue Yacate Office
Of Prosecutor?

The question of pay for the attorney
who prosecuted the case of the State
of Minnesota VS.. George r. Koch has
come up not for settlement but for
discussion.
It appears that the law provides that
where a change of venue is taken the
case shall be tried as if the indict-
ment were found in that county which
would imply that the county attorney
of the county in which the case was
tried would have charge of the case
and assume the duties of prosecutor
as. part Of the duties deyolving upon
him by virtue Of his office.
In the case in question the county
attorney was disqualified and the
question is where there is an attorney
acting, is the county under the neces-
sity OF hiring a prosecutor, and if the
county of Blue Earth has paid Mr..
Childs would Brown county be. legal
.ly required to make good the amount
SO expended!
The question is a new one and prob
ably is not tenable, but is given for
what it is worth. Gen. Childs was
hired to prosecute the case in Brown
county because the public prosecutor
was disqualified, does it hold that
when the case was taken into the iur-
isdiction of a qualified prosecutor that
the Office of Mr.. Childs continued?
AS the law reads provision is made
for the payment OF all necessary court
expenses, such as witness fees, etc.
but there is no mention or provision
for the payment of an attorney. Be
fore a third trial is undertaken this
point may come up for settlement.

FAST HORSES FOR NEW ULM TRACK
Local Men Will Revive Interest in
Fine Stock.

A number of men of this city have
formed themselves into what they are
pleased to call a driving association,
the object being simply their own
amusement.
It is the purpose of the association
to secure the use of the race track at
the fair grounds, which they will fix
up and put in good shape for racing
and when there is a competitive race
and admission is to be charged the
Agricultural association is to have
the gate receipts.
There are a number of fast horses in
the city at present and it is rumored
that there are to be some purchased in
the near future that will make record
breaking time on the track. Cap.
Memo claims to be in possession OF
the fastest horse in the city, though it
has not arrived at present.
1t is expected that this interest will
communicate itself to the Fair associ.
alton and by the time for holding the
county fair there will be interest
enough to warrant the managers in
giving an excellent exhibition, though
the Fair association is in no way con.
nected with the new organization.

Chicago, May 2e.-Johann Hoeh was
fou&d guilty of wife murder by Jury
in Judge Kersten's court Friday after

hann Hoch, alias John Hoeh, alias
John Schmitt, guilty of murder ia man
ner and form as charged in the indiet-
ment and fix his punishment at death. 2

TWO PROCLAMATIONs ARE ISSUED
Governor Johnson Calls Attention
to Memorial and Flag Day.

Two proclamations were issued by
Governor Johnson last week, desig-
mating June IA as Flag Day and adj
monishing the citizens to hallow the
approaching Memorial Day and that
all business be suspended and that the
day be celebrated 5y appropriate
ceremonies. In the first proclamation
he calls special attention to the fact
that upon that day the flags in the old
capital, which inspired to bravery the
Minnesota heroes of the civil war, will
be moved to the rotnnda of the new
capital.
The governor opens his proclama-
ton with the words, Again that day
approaches about which clusters the
tenderest association of the nation
Memorial Day." Then in words of
praise he speaks of those who have
given up their lives for their country,
OF the great family troubles in which
Minnesota played no fledgling part
and how the state sent out the FIRST
soldiers to defend their country. He
proclaims therefore that no unneces-
sary labor should be performed on this
day.
