A. O. Eberhart, now resident
of Mankato, was born in Sweden
June 20, 1870. He was the son
of poor parents, who, when the
boy was ten years of age, emf
grated to Minnesota, leaving him
behind for lack Of funds. A year
later Adolph took the long jour
ney alone. His first occupation
was the herding Of 500 head of
cattle on the prairies of Dixon
and Cedar counties, Nebraska,
the family making their home in
a hillside "dugout.' A year later
the lad hired out to a clergyman
farmer at $40 a month, turning all
his earnings over TO his parents.
While residing with the clergy
man he had access to a free
library, This gave him oppor-
tunity to begin to satisfy his
yearning or an education. His
parents were unsuccessful in
farming, however, suffering sew
eral crop failures. Because 81

Frank A. Day, Democratic

state convention of his party, that
the Republican convention which

made up of THE worst gang of
political freebooters that ever as

Frank Day owes his job of the
past four years to Republican
votes, this is pretty ungrateful, as
we'll as absolutely unfounded Ian

frafian in Great Britain

Already Are Protesting Against Arbi-
tration in Great Britain.
Washington, March 1O.-Irish oppo-
sition, which. it is asserted, defeated
the arbitration treaty negotiated by
Secretary Olney and Lord Pauncefote
twelve years ago, now menaces the
new arbitration treaty which has been
evolved by Secretary Root and Am
bassador Bryce.
Already the state department has
been deluged with remonstrances and
protests from Irish patriotic organiza.
tons, all directed against the new
convention.
Moreover, this opposition has devel-
oped before anything specific as to the
nature and scope of TIE new treaty
has been made known officially. There
has been nothing more than refer
ence to the subject in the British par
lament and some statements in seX
PLANTATION based upon that declaration
in American newspapers.
State department officials are con-
WINGED that the opposition to renew
the treaty is based upon a wrong con-
certion of conditions. But they are
nevertheless, apprehensive that the
ratification of the treaty, through ig-
norance. may be jeopardizcd.

eRlToN's ANGER At KAISER.
Suspect That He Is Trying to NEEDLE
in Naval Affairs,

in Naval Affairs.
London, March S.-An outburst OF
anger against Emperor William on
the part Of the British public equaling
that caused by the German emperor's
famous telegram to President Kruger
in 1896, after the defeat of the Jane.
son raiders, has followed the an.
nouncement yesterday morning by the
Times that Emperor William had at
tempted to influence the British naval
policy by a secret correspondence
with Lord Tweedmouth, first lord Of
the admiralty. The Germanophobe
party, which was never stronger than
now, Immediately jumped to tho con.
clusion that Emperor William was
trying to NEEDLE in the most vital
matter in Great Britain's national in.
terests by underhand methods, and
the public at first shared that view,
while parliament, the newspapers and
the diplomats had the greatest sensa.
tion they had enjoyed for many day.
The matter was considered so serious
that Lord Tweedmouth broke his GUS
tomary reticence, fastening to say:
'The letter from the German en-
peror is purely personal communica-
tion and there is no reference in 1t to
the British naval estimates
Mr.. Asquith, chancellor Of the ex.
chequer, appeared in the house of COM
mons at the close Of, its sitting and
made brief statement to crowded
house, celebrating, amid profound ST.
lence, Lord Tweedmouth's explana-
ton that the correspondence was
purely personal.
II may add" said the chancellor.
"tEat in view OF certain suggestions
which have been made that before the
letter arrived the cabinet had come to
it's final decision with regard to the ma
val estimates for this year."
These explanations only stimulate
curiosity and criticism, instead of ap.
peasing them. and a strong demand is
heard everywhere for the publication
of tboth letters. Nothing else will sat
isfy the British public. and probably
this vii! be done eventually.
