The investiture of the entire caste

used by Miss Trescott are superb in
all their apartments and in every in

they are introduced. AS queen Of

scene where she is the wife of Charles
Brandon she is strikingly handsome.

to the farm and care for his father, but
the introduction Of the history of the
family evidently satisfied the jury that
there was more justice in the equal
distribution of the property under the
conditions that grew out of the action
OF the father.
No doubt the verdict in this will case
had some influence in the matter of the
settlement Of the Kuehn will case as
negotiations for settlement were
opened almost Immediately and were
finally closed by the payment to the
heirs named in the will 5000 each and
the assignment of the residue OF the
property to the son.
These two cases are without doubt
the most important civil cases that
have ever been tried before a court in
this county, and the firm of Hoidale &
Somsen is entitled to much credit for
able manner in which they have han
died the cases.

CORNER STONE OF CHURCH IS LAID
Methodists Of Lafayette Have Cere'
monious Gathering.

Last Thursday in the village of La
fayette the members of the Methodist
church met with the friends of the de-
nomination and amid the ceremonies
incident to such affairs laid the corner
stone of the new structure which is to
be the place of worship of the congre-
cation in the future.
The stone was put in place by Bis
hop Farrell of ST. Paul who delivered
a short address in commemoration of
the event and who was the drawing
card of the occasion. The Lafayette
Ledger in speaking of the event has
the following:
Thursday afternoon will always be
a memorable day for the NJ. e. con
gregation of this place for on that day
the corner stone of their new church
was laid with ceremonies in harmony
with the occasion. The afternoons $
program opened with song by Rev.
A. G. Hultgren, pastor of the church.
After this came very able sermon by
Presiding Elder Farrell, of St. Paul
which was followed by a song by the
audience. Rev. VIM. Lundeen of
Winthrop delivered masterly talk
after which collection was taken up.
Rev. Farrell then performed the cere-
monies of laying the stone and also
said a few words of farewell.

JOS. SPERL LOSES WILL CASE
Property of Anton Sperl Will be
Divided.
y After Three Trials Disinherited
Heirs Win.
Estate is Valued at Nearly Twenty
Thousand Dollars.

Holdale & SOmsen attorneys for the
children of Anton Sperl who were
actically disinherited by their father,
Anton Sperl, have succeeded in having
the will set aside and more even dis.
tribution of the property made.
The case is an interesting one and
one that has occupied the time of three
courts. First it was tried in the dis
trict court in this county and practl-
caly taken out of the hands of the
jury by verdict directed by the judge,
and was then appealed to the Supreme
court on errors, the claim being that
the Judge erred in directing the ver-
dict as he did. That court sent the
case back for retrial and it was the
first case on the calendar at the pres
ent term of district court.
The trial occupied the entire time of
the court up to Saturday evening when
the case went to the jury. A sealed
verdict was returned which was read
in court Monday morning and the
finding of the jury was for the appel
lants, Otto Sperl and Anna Fischer,
this action dissolving the will of An
ton Sperl.
The case was hard fought one on
both sides, Jos. A. Eckstein and Som
erville & Olsen appearing for the de-
fendant, Jos. Sperl. It was claimed
and apparently proven by the appel
ants that undue influence was used to
induce the father to will all of his prop
erty to Joseph, the claim being made
that he devoted his time and means to
caring for the old man during the de-
clining years Of his life.
1t was set up by the appellants that
the actions of the father drove the
children from the home and after he
was left alone he was unable to get
Of his children return applying to all
Of them before he made terms with
Joseph who was finally induced to re-
turn. It was during the years of his
residence at the farm after this that it
was claimed Joseph induced his father
to alter his will so that none of the
other children would share in it.
The sympathy appears to have been
largely with Joseph in the matter on
the ground that he was entitled to the
property from the fact that he sacri-
feed his business in St. James to 90

STORY OF HIDDEN TREASURE TRUE
Mr. Green's Explanation Of Find
of Money Corroborated.

Some weeks ago the New Ulm News
advanced the theory that the money
that was found in tree cut near LIE
Sueur Center, was placed there by a
man by the name of Reinhart who was
lynched for the murder of man for
the money that he hid in the tree. Mr.
Green's memory seems to have served
him right for the story appears to be
confirmed by the account given by a
La Crosse man. part of which is as
follows:
''In the spring of 1858 young Ger
man came to our cabin. His name I
have forgotten. He remained with US
several days. He had yoke of oxen,
a covered wagon, farm implements,
one or two COWS and small amount
of household goods. Ny father showed
him over considerable government
land. It appeared to be too heavily
timbered to suit him, so he went on to
the edge of the prairie, to Reinhart's
place. This young German had about
5000 in gold with him at that time.
"Reinhart showed the young man
some of the government land. Sudden
ly the German stranger dropped out of
existence. Reinhart stated that he had
gone back east, and that he (Reinhart)
had bought the oxen, wagon COWS and
other possessions.
I'm the fall of 1858 one of the settlers
was out hunting and in crossing the
Reinhart clearing he found part of the
remains Of the young German. It
afterward appeared that Reinhart had
murdered him and covered his body
with pile Of brush, with the intention
of burning the remains. But the hogs
of one Of the settlers had rooted the
body out and partly eaten it.
"After Reinhartwas captured it took
the settlers only a short time to gather
| together from radius of fifteen miles.
They took Reinhart to tree and he
confessed the murder. He was given
about five minutes in which to settle
his affairs. Then he was promptly
| hung -

GEORGE HAUNENSTEIN SELLS OUT
VIM. F. Backer and William Bier.
baum New Proprietors.

Last week the Red Front Grocery
store was sold by Geo. Hauenstein tc
VIM. F. Backer and VIM. Bierbaum,
who will take possession sometime be.
fore the first of the coming month. Al
present the young men are employed
in different places. Mr.. Backer is
bookkeeper for Cuddy & Cavanaugh
and Mr.. Bierbaum IS clerking for F.
81. Behnke.
Ever since it was started the Red
Front store has been a paying venture
and has at the present time a reputa-
tion among the business enterprises OF
the city that is equal to the best. The
store was originally started by VIM.
Fenscke who sold the place to Mr..
Hauenstein, the business being con-
Quoted in the corner room of the Otto
meyer building and during the past
year moved to its present location in
the Reinhart building.
The young men who succeed to the
business are both well known in the
city, especially VIM. Bierbaum who
for the past fourteen years has been
clerking for F. II. Behnke and is a
very pleasant and accomodatin young
man. His partner Mr.. Backer is
younger and has not been in business
except as bookkeeper for the frm he is
now with but has the ability to make
friends and it is confidently predicted
that they will make a good pair to
draw to.
When he leaves the Red Front store
Mr.. Hauenstein intends to take a vaca.
tion that will make up for all the
vacations he has missed for the pas
ten years or more and after that viii
probably go on the road for some
large wholesale house. He has beer

MAENNERCHOR MAKES GOOD
First Effort of Organization is Ap.
preciated.
Both Band and Singers Show
Marked Improvement.
Audience is Small But Does Not
Lack Appreciation.

for the excellence of the concert that
was given by the New Ulm Maenner-
Choir last Wednesday evening. Their
appearance at this time showed a
marked Improvement over their work
in the band concert. and the band,
which assisted the Maennerchor also
showed that with each public appear
ance it was growing better. Both of
these organizations, the Maennerchor
and the Union Concert band, are new
and show wonderful amount of skill
and natural attainment in the produc-
ton of music.
The difficult task of harmonizing
this large body Of singers falls to the
lot of Prof. Endres, and the work Of
Wednesday evening showed that he
had the mastery of the situation. If
he is able to show as marked improve
the meeting of the Saengerfest in st.
Paul as was shown in the two concerts
there will be little doubt but that some
Of the honers of the event will fall to
the Maennerchor.
Other features on the program as.
side from the work of the band and the
Maennerchor was the baritone solo by
Prof. Amundson, 1.-THE Two Grena-
diers." This is the first time Mr..
Amundson has been heard in public in
this city and he pleased the audience
wonderfully. He has an excellent
voice and has it we'll in hand.
A selection by the string quartet
"Marionetts'' was pleasing close to
the work of the first part of the pro-
gram. This quartet was composed of
Messrs. J. G. Hofmeister. 81. Huevel-
mann, J. G. Hofmeister and w. T.
Eckstein, and they make excellent
music
A part of the program that was as
pleasing as any of the other numbers
was the song, Saengermarsch' an
orchestra for which was written by
W. T. Eckstein and the song was ac-
companied by the orchestra. The
work of Mr.. Eckstein in this line is
something that has attracted attention
at different times and shows wonder
full amount of talent in the musical
line.
The Cello solo by w T. Eckstein,
accompanied by his wife, and the male
quartet were both features of the eve
ming. The male quartet in particular,
which is composed of Messrs. Endres,
Armand Petry, W. G. Alvin and Ar
thur Dengler, struck the fancy of the
audience and called for many compli-
ments from individuals. The four
voices harmonized excellently and the
volume of music that they make is very
pleasing.
1t is too bad that there we're not
more people out to hear the concert
With the vast amount of work and
time that is necessary to get a feature
| of this kind in shape for the public it
is disappointing to the originators to
feel that the people are not apprecia-
tive enough to come out. There is
some excuse on account of the large
number of attractions that have de-
manded the attention of the people of
the city for the past month, and there
is some pleasure for those who took
part in the concert to know that those
who were there appreciated the work
and many of the travelling men who
went up from the Dakota house spoke
of it as something of more than ordi-
nary excellence

MOON LIGHTED DOCTORS HOME.
Medical Society Had Sound Reason
for Their Date Of Holding Meeting

Up in a New England town there
is medical society which is of 60
years standing, and has the custom
of meeting on the Thursday before
the full of the moon. Recently some
of the younger members tried to
change the time of meeting to the
third Wednesday of every month.
Three of the older members rose
up and protested. They gave the
reason for the peculiar arrangement,
when this association was
formed said one of them, there
were no electric lights and good roads
the way there are now. The society
took in the whole county, and it was
often difficult matter for the doc
tors who lived in the country to drive
home after nightfall.
so we called the moon to our aid
and set the date for the Thursday be-
fore the full of the moon. 1t is bright
moonlight at a seasonable hour then
and the doctors could see their way
home.
Il know there is no necessity for
such an arrangement now, but this
will seem like new society, If we
do not meet the Thursday before the
full of the moon"

Best Told During Campaign Of 1895,
He Considers.

A Nebraska minister who enjoys
the confidence of Hon. W. j. Bryan
asked the presidential candidate OF
1896, just before he was leaving the
country on his present tour, what was
the best story told about him when
he was before the country as the op"
ponent of Maj. Mckinley.
THE one / most enjoyed" he re-
piled, was told by commercial trav-
eler who put up at a village tavern
in Arkansas. The accommodations
were very scant The traveller slept
on the floor. He had no water to
wash his hands and face. When he
went to breakfast he was out of sorts
He told the landlord that his house
ought to be swept away by a hurri-
cane. The landlord made no reply,
but invited the traveller to eat. The
food was on a par with the travellers
room. He said it wasn't fit for a hog.
The landlord was silent and passed
up another dish. The traveller threw
1t on the floor.
"The landlord picked up the rem
nants and pitched them into bucket.
and said nothing. Just then woman
whose appearance indicated poverty
and poor health passed through the
dinfng-room. The traveller made re-
mark about her that was decidedly
uncomplimentary, saying that he
didn't wonder the grub was not mt
to eat if she prepared it. The land
lord never uttered word OF protest.
The traveller left the table and asked
for his bill AS the landlord scraped
up the bottom of his till to make
change the traveller asked him: How
do you stand on this 16 to l craze,
anyhow Then the landlords wrath
asserted itself and he hit his guest
between the eyes."-American Spec

Old spanlsh Money il chlna.

The farmers of Wuhu, China. insist
on cash payments, and, further, espe-
cially in that part of the province
lying north Of the river where most
of the rice is grown, will only accept
in payment Spanish dollars dating
back to the last decade of the eight
eenth and the opening years of the
nineteenth centuries. These, although
in purity no better than, and in
weight not equal to the modern Mex
lean dollar, are at considerable
premium, which fuctuates almost
