believe he will accept the democratic

INSANE WANDERER COMMITTED.
Stranger Picked up near Golden
Gate and Sent to Asylum.

Early last week Chief of Police ia
cobson of Sleepy Eye was notified by
residents OF Golden Gate that an I'M
known man was wandering around in
that vicinity in an insane condition.
The police officer drove out and found
the man as described "a pitiful look
ing sight, his reason gone and his
rags and filth completely covered by
an old fur coat which in spite of the
hot wealth he wore tightly buttoned
about him. His head was tied up
with rags and he complained of being
i'll. His name he gave as Carl Swan
son and his home as Iowa, but how
long he had been wandering around
in his present condition it was impos.
sible to determine.
jacobson took him to Sleepy Eye
and notified the sheriff. The latter
brought him to New Gin and had hin
examined by Judge Ross, who imme
diately pronounced him insane ant
committed him to the asylum at ST

nesota; how people hocked from far
and near to participate in said cele-
bration; and how on said day the de-
PENDANT also attended said social
gathering and, as was his wont, took
with him one of the musical instru-
rnents known as a mouth-organ. :" The
instrument which he carried with him
on this particular day is described as
aone which had been formally bestow-
ed on him by certain members OF the
fire department as token of their re-
spect and esteem and in recognition,
as he had been informed, OF his powers
of rendition on instruments OF this
character" He admits having sper-
formed on said instrument to circles
of friends and acquaintance several
times during his attendance at said
gathering and he alleges that cat the
time of said function beer was freely
dispensed among the patrons and that
the occasion was one of general good
cheer and universal hilarity.' He
further admits that he himself felt
quite jolly and charges that sat the
time of the happening complained OF
in the complaint, the plaintiff, Endres
was intoxicated; that Immediately
after the last time that the defend ant
performed upon the mouth-organ, the
plaintiff, without the knowledge or
consent of the defend ant, surreptitious-
ly took and extracted said instrument
from the defendants pocket: that soon
thereafter the defendant noticed the
loss of his instrument and was inform.
ed of what the plaintiff had done; that
thereupon he sought out the plaintiff
and asked him politely to return the
instrument: tn at the plaintiff informed
him that he no longer had it, but haC
given it to someone else; that there
upon, in a spirit of fun, perfectly il

and that there never was an!
intent on the part of the defendan
to cause any injury; that the inciden

that no damage of any nature wa
thereby caused to the plaintiff by tn

RACE TO DECIDE NAVAL PROBLEM
If the Connecticut Wins the Govern.
ment Will Hereafter Build
its Own Ships.

Over a measured course between
Cape Ann and Cape Porpoise off the
New England coast, the battleships
Connecticut and Louisiana will soon
compete in the greatest race of its kind
ever held.
The race is expected to settle for all
time the comparative value of govern
ment-built ships, represented by the
Connecticut, and those built in private
yards, represented by the Louisiana.
Millions depend upon the ability Of
the Louisiana to beat her rival, be-
cause if the Connecticut wins the race
the labor unions will have grounds to
urge congress that public instead of
private yards build future battleships.
Officially the ships are registered as
having a speed of Is knots each on an
indicated horsepower of 1880.

So spoke Gov. johnson in recent
address. Continuing, the possible
nominee of the democracy for presi-
dent said:
'sThere are evils in our body polite;
evils which, while they do not serious

doing great injury to the many whose

fation of values, the creation of mono
poles, the concentration of wealth in

them the power to promote or destroy
any Industrial, transportation, or
commercial enterprise, are evils
which must be removed, because to
those who have been given this power
has come the intoxication whichsnd-
den wealth too often produces. Riotous
indulgence in these excuses must

the Review, had brought suit against
Alderman Herman Nagel for alleged
assault Since then everybody about

we herewith give the substance thereof
with no further comment than that, as
a contribution to the humorous litera-

In this answer the defendant admits
that she is the duly qualified and
elected councillor of the First Ward of
the City of New Ulm.
He also admits that she is OF a
jovial and genial disposition and en-
joys to mingle freely with his consti-
tuents and aid, to the extent of his
powers, in social gatherings for their
amusement; that he is unsteady in

also enjoys producing music to the
