Lord Wolseley's feeling for the vel
fare of his men once made him the
hero of an episode in which undenl-
ably he got the worst of it. The men
were at dinner one day, and the order
lies were hurrying backward and for

when Lord Wolseley, passing by,
stopped one of them and determined
to see that the food provided was up
to the standard he required. Re.

FOUR SCORE YEARS AND TEN
Oldest Resident of New Ulm Died
on Wednesday.
Was Born in 1917 and Had Lived
in America Sixty Years.
Came to New Ulm Among the Ear.
Hest Settlers in 1854.

August Kiesling, whose health for a
number of months had been such that
death was expected most any time,
died at his home on Washington street
shortly after eight o'clock Wednesday
evening at the ripe old age of four
score years and ten.
MIR. Kiesling was born in Gallwetz,
Saxony, on the 9th of June, 1917.
When thirty years Of age he emigra-
ted to America and upon the organi-
zation of the colony in Chicago In
1854 which was destined to bring into
existence the little town of New Ulm
in Minnesota, Mr.. Kiesling found
! himself numbered among it's members.
A year later he was sturdy citizen
of the frontier settlement, and it was
not until after the memorable Indian
outbreak of 1862 that he returned to
Chicago.
Returning to New Ulm in the latter
sixties he purchased farm on the OPP
posite side of the river not far from
the city and it was there, as farmer,
that he made his home until 1891.
Married three times, he became the
father of seven children, five OF whom
are still living-Mrs. Julius Berndt
of this city, Mrs. Henry Keller OF st.
Louis Park, Rudolph Kiesling OF
Spokane, William Klesling OF Chicago
and Miss Selma Klesling of New Ulm.
His third wife, who married him in
1882, also survives him.
While never active to any extent IN
public affairs, Mr.. Kiesling at all
times throughout his long career en-
ioyed the confidence of his fellowmen
and was an honored and respected
citizen
His funeral occurred from the faml.
ly residence on Saturday.
