TEACHERS WANT COUNTY NORMALS
Southern Minnesota Association
Frames Petition to SOlOnS.

At the recent meeting of the South
ern Minnesota Teachers Association,
an association with 900 members and
representing a school population of
approximately $4,000, it was unani-
mously resolved to adopt the follow
ing petition to the regents of the state
university and the members of the leg
islature:
Whereas, the primary means to a
more efficient system of public instruc-
ton lies in the constant Improvement
of the teaching force, and, whereas,
this calls for the best possible theoreti-
cal and practical training Of prospec-
tive teachers. the regents of the Uni.
versity Of Minnesota are hereby petit
toned by us to supplement the train.
ing of high school teachers at the uni.
versity by the establishment of we'll.
housed and well-equipped school for
observ alton and practice teaching, and
we pledge that this request, made by
the regents Of the university, will be
supported by us individually anC

is presented to the next session of the

spring, the loss will be fully COM
pensated by the natural ability of the
new members. Those who played last
year but who will not be with the club
this year are Arthur Seifert, Otto
KOrbel, Frank Pfsterer and Edward
Stad therr, the only hold overs being
Tony Stadtherr and Walter Backer.
AS center Backer has not been
surpassed in any game that he has
played. His only possible match is
the tall Fairfax center. Besides being
a star center, Backer is also good
basket thrower.
Stadtherr has shown great improve
ment in guarding and judging from
his work in practice he may be classed
among the few successful guards,
Buenger and HUM will play for
ward. Buenger played with the high
school team two years ago but was
prevented from doing SO last year by
illness. He is not new man at the
game bJ any means and it is expected
that he will do some splendid work.
HUM is one of the new men, but it
might be said with justice that few
basketball players can match him for
agility. When you see HUM properly
harnessed into the game there is no
stopping him until basket is made.
1t will be interesting to watch Buenger,
Backer and HUM throw baskets, but
it will be even more interesting to see
Huhn cleverly evading his opponent.
The position of the second guard is
not filled yet. This is not because
there is no one to take the place, but
rather because there have been so
many good players to select from.
Dirks played the game last year and
stands a good chance of playing
regularly this season, but there are
others who are strongly competing for
the place, including Anthony and
Drummer, and an actual test may be
necessary to determine who shall be
the chosen one.
The outlook is bright indeed for the
team as a whole. If no misfortune
befalls them, or if they do not become
excited and lose control Of themselves
they will do credit to their school and
their city. The only hope entertained
by the boys is that the people of New
Ulm will give them the recognition
and support that deserving teams
elsewhere receive.

TO ASK THAT LID Be LIFTED
German Societies of State Not Sat.
isfied with Present Saloon
Regulations.
Will Petition Lawmakers for
Modification OF Existing State
Laws.

All the German societies in the state
will unite in an effort to have the COM
ing legislature revise the present
early closing laws if the action of the
Central German Alliance, which met
Sunday evening in Mozart hall, is
successful, says The ST. Paul Pioneer
Press.
There we're two meetings held during
the evening, both of which had in view
the concerted action of the societies
which favor more liberal action in re-
spect to the regulation of the liquor
traffic.
The first meeting was that of the ex-
ecutive committee of the state branch
of the German National Alliance.
This committee decided that its chair
man should appoint committee for
the purpose of looking after the legis-
lative interests Of the organization,
which shall be composed of three
members from the alliances in St. Paul
and Minneapolis, and one member
from each of the other branches in the
state. The general condition of pub.
lie sentiment throughout the state was
discussed and united action urged by
the members in attendance.
After the meeting of the executive
committee the German Alliance of St.
Paul convened and considered its part
in the coming movement. Several
speakers from outside points address.
sed the meeting, reviewing the result
of the last lection and urging that
some action must be taken.
A resolution was adopted that the
St. Paul society join with all the other
societies of the state which have fol
their object the modification of the
present laws regulating the closing O.
saloons.
Those from out of the city who ad
dressed the meeting we're: Mr.. Doren
dorf. president of the Martin county
branch of the alliance, William Dit
mann. secretary Of the Minneapolis
branch, and Otto Huebner, who rep
resented the German Singing societies
All of the speakers bespoke the co
operation of their branches.

DISPUTE OVER OLD ESTATE
Missing Nicol1et County Heir Sud
denly Returns to Demand
His Rights.
Says He was Wrongfully Cheated
out of His Share of Faith
er's Estate.

A st. Peter special to the Minneapo-
lis Journal of the 10th is to the effect
that after an absence of nearly six
teen years William Albrecht of Har-
len, Montana, has returned to Nicol-
let county to claim an interest in the
estate left by his father, the late Char
les Albrecht of Lafayette township.
He has won the first round in the con-
test, having secured an amended final
decree comforting upon him an undi-
vlded one-fifth interest in the proper
ty.
Charles Albrecht, the father of the
claimant, died on May 6. 1891, leav-
ing wife and seven children. Prior
to his death he had given financial as
sistance to his two eldest sons, and in
his will he provided that his widow
hold possession of the homestead for
her natural life, and that the remain
der of his property be divided among
the five younger children.
His possessions, according to the
schedule filed by the administr atrix,
consisted of real property worth SIS, $40
and personal property valued at S., $40.
Under the terms of the will $1,000 of
the personal property was given to
each OF the children except William
Albrecht, who, on account of physical
intirmities, was bequeathed $1,000.
The real property was divided into five
equal shares.
The estate was not admitted to pro-
bate until several years after the death
of the original owner, and before the
final settlement was made the other
heirs produced receipts purporting to
be signed by William Albrecht, which
showed that he had received his share.
One of these receipts is for S748, in

consider alton of which it was set forth
that William Albrecht surrendered his
claim to the real property and relin-

brothers, David. Louis and Henry Al

This instrument was accepted oy the
probate court in lieu of a quit-claim
deed and the land was distributes
among the four heirs named.
About a year after his fathers death
William Albrecht went to Montana
