General arrangements for the cere-
mony Of laying the corner stone OF the
new Catholic cathedral in St. Paul on
June 2 are progressing rapidly, and
the plans provide for one of the big

city. In the parade there will be 25,-
600 people in line, consisting of the
various Catholic organizations and
church dignitaries. The list of emil
nent charchmen to be invited has not

try will participate.
In New Ulm invitations have been
received by the st. Joseph's Society,
Knights of Columbus, Foresters and

Law ABOLISHES PRIVATE BANKS
Thorpe Bill Finally Meets With the
Approval of Both House
and Senate.

One of the most important bills
passed by the house last week was the
Thorpe bill, already sanctioned by the
senate, prohibiting a bank from soli-
citing for business unless under the
supervision of the public examiner.
The minneapolis Journal says edi-
torially of this measure:
SAT last the state is to have a COM
prehensive law regulating banking i'll
situations. Two years ago the private
banks were powerful enough to defeat
bill which would compel them to in
corporate under the law. The fight
made then, however, and the bad ex-
ample set by some private banks which
went out of business, had it's effect in
bringing one large private bank after
another under state supervision, till
theinterests opposed to such measure
at this session were weak and unable
to command much support. The law
is not needed now as much as it was
two years ago, but it is a good thing
to have on the statute books. The
whole banking system of the state will
be strengthened by this act. -

!, WELLNER FARM IN DISPUTE
Suit Started in NicolIet County that
Recalls Famous Murder Trial.
Children of Murdered Man Would
Recover Land Transferred
to Mr.. Eckstein.
Hoidale & Somsen Engaged to
Prose cute Their Claims in
the District Court.

The two surviving children of the
late John Wellner of Nicollet county
intend to make trouble for Attorney
Jos. A. Eckstein Of this city.
1t will be remembered that Wellner
was murdered on the night of Deem
Der 81, 1898, and that his wife and her
secord husband, Frank Tanke, were
arrested in October, 1901, charged with
committing the crime. Tanke's first
trial began in st. Peter in February
of the following year, but came to an
end when one of the jurors went in
sane. A change of venue to Sibley
{ county was secured and on June q,
= 1902, the jury brought in verdict Of
murder in the first degree. On Friday,
July 18th, Tanke was sentenced to be
hanged, but on the same day his wife
made a confession in which she exon
Grated him. She was given life
sentence, but her confession secured a
new trial for her husband. The third
trial took place at st. James in March,
1903, when Tanke was convicted OF
second degree murder and sentenced
to the penitentiary for life.
On July S, 1902, shortly after her
husbands first conviction, Mrs. Tanke
transferred her interests in the
2 Wellner farm in Lafayette to her
attorney, Jos. A. Eckstein OF this city.
Now the children have brought suit to
recover possession of the farm and
will try to show that, inasmuch as
Mrs. Tanke plotted to kill her first
husband for his property, the crime
debarred her from the right OF success
sion. The case will be based on the
common law contention that no person
should be allowed to profit from the
fruits of his own evil, but in order te
gain this point the plaintiffs will have
to induce the court to ignore the ole
Minnesota law of descent
The farm, which is located in Lafa
yette township, consists of 245 acres
and is valued at 1880. Mrs. Tanke
as the result of Wellner's death, Sc
cured a life equity in the homestead O
80 acres and an undivided one-thire
interest in the remainder, and it wa!
these interests, as stated above, tina
she transferred to Mr.. Eckstein.
Hoidale & Somsen havebeen retain
ed by the guardian of the children tt
fight the New Ulm attorneys CLAIM
to the land.

Loss OF ARM STARTS SUIT
Samuel Brown Begins Action
Against Leavenworth
Farmer.
Asks for $4,000 as Damages for
Loss of Arm.
w. A. Funk, the Mankato Lawyer,
Engaged to Handle
the Case.

Herman Aftermath, Brown county
farmer, has been sued for $4,000.
The action is the outcome of saw
mill accident that occurred on Alter
MATHS farm in Leavenworth township
a couple of months ago, and is insti-
tuted by Samuel J. Brown, the injured
man, through his attorney, the we'll
known Mankato lawyer, W. A. Funk.
Brown is young person who, prior
to working for Aftermath, had been
taking a course in civil engineering
at ST. Louis. Getting out of money,
he secured employment in Altermatt's
sawmill, and expected, after he had
replenished his pocketbeok, to con-
tinue his studies.
At the time the accident occurred
Brown and Aftermath were working
together. Brown picked up slab
and handed it to his employer. Alter
matt let it drop and in reaching ever
to pick it up Browns arm was drawn
into contact with the saw and sudden
~ amputated. Aftermath is alleged
to have been negligent in handling
the slabs that were passed over to him
by Brown and particularly SO in
allowing the one to drop that caused
the accident.

Houston Post.
The present legislature will not
abolish capital punishment. The
measure for this purpose introduced
by Representative Wright of Mime
apolis was killed Monday evening by
a vote of Al to "a in the house commit
tee of the whole.
Whether Tracy is to be wet or dry
rests with the city council. At the
election last week the vote was for no
license, but under the charter such
decision is reserved to the city coun-
Gil. What the final decision will be
cannot be conjectured, as one ward
which voted 'sdry" elected an anti
prohibition councilman.

Charles Hanson, who was sentenced
from Redwood county in 1899 for car
nally abusing his Contemporaries
daughter, had his sentence committed
from twenty-five to twenty years by
the board of pardons on Monday.
Senator Clague, who as county attor-
ney conducted the prosecution at the
time of Hanson's trial, appeared be-
fore the board and argued in behalf OF
the Communication. Mr.. Clague stated
that he did not ask a pardon, as he
fully realized the enormity and debas-
ing circumstances of the crime, but be
did think that twenty-five years was
too long a sentence. He added that al
the time of the trial Judge Weber,
who heard the case, had practically
decided to impose a sentence of twenty
years. When the judge was about tc
impose sentence the prisoner made q
foolish speech that angered the Judge
and he therefore added five more years
to the sentence.

unsuccessful.
"Ma Loreto' attracted magni-
icent audience at the Catholic audi
forum Sunday evening and proved a
production of exceptional merit for
amateurs. The cast was an unweildy
one, numbering some thirty odd char
acters, but so thoroughly had they re-
hearsed that the performance for a
''frst nighter" was comparatively
smooth. Particularly deserving OF

Eibner, Mr.. Henle and Mr.. Rausch.
Special Examiner McGrew of the

about the head, was brought to thi
city from her home in CORTLAND town

the result of brutal attack made up

the previous evening. 1t is claime'
by the woman that he knocked her GU
of the wagon, and after she had fallel
by the roadside, kicked and otherwise
assaulted her. Although this is no
his first offense of this kind, it is no
thought likely that Mrs. Reinhart viii

The Springfield Advance reports a
peculiar accident experienced by a
crew of cement workers driving from
Springfield to Clements.
Midway between the two towns they
came to a stretch of graded road
connecting two sleughs. The grade
looked perfectly safe, but when they
started to drive across it the ground
suddenly gave way and the men,
horses, wagon and utensils were all
precipitated into five or six feet of
mud and water from which they were
extricated with difficulty.
Investigation showed that the grade
had been undermined by muskrats.

Why Graham Cracker. Are AeaIthfuI.

Why Graham Crackers Are HeaIthfuI.
Graham flour is the whole kernel Of
the wheat, ground without boiling, or,
in other words, without being sifted
thru boiling cloths.
Being the whole OF the wheat, 1t
therefore contains all the nutriment of
the wheat, and has the additional vir-
tue of increasing the activity of the
digestion.
Graham Crackers are the most de-
licious food made from this flour, and
are especially desirable for persons of
sedentary habits or occupation. be-
cause their stimulating effect materi-
ally helps the digestion.
The use OF Graham Crackers is also
a convenient way Of furnishing va
riety to the diet, which alone helps
greatly toward good appetite and di-
gestion.
The Graham Crackers baked by the
National Biscuit Company are differ
ent in flavor and better than any of the
old fashioned kinds. They are made
scientifically by perfected processes,
which preserves the natura, sweetness
and goodness Of the wheat. and gives
them delicious nutty flavor entirely
lacking in the Graham Crackers made
In the old crude way. They are packed
by the National Biscuit Company in
moisture and dust proof packages. and
are consequently not only crisp. fresh
and clean. but have lost none OF their
original favor.
A package within easy reach of the
children and a package on the table at
every meal will do much toward keep
ing the family in good health and spir-
Its. To get them. simply ask anywhere
for package Of Red Label Graham
Crackers. made by the National Bis
cult Company.
