DENOUNCES POLITICAL TRICK
M. E. Mathews EmphaticaIIy De.
MES False Stories about Gov.
Johnson's Meeting in
Marshall.

M. E. Mathews, the Marshall lawyer
who is candidate on the democratic
state ticket for the Office of attorney
general, has sent to the Marshall News
Messenger q communication in which
he emphatically denies the stories
published in the Pioneer Press and
Minneapolis Journal, charging him
with being offended with the COVER
nor because the latter did not mention
Mathews candidacy in his speech
when at Marshall, and further charging
him with having placed picture Of
the Republican candidates in his
office window stories all appearing
ORA Tuesday, after Tom Davis, Mar
shall republican, had visited state Re-
publican headquarters on Monday.
Mathews says that the governor in
sisted that Mathews should speak at
his meeting at Marshall, and that the
governor in his address should allude
to Mathews candidacy for attorney
general, to both of which propositions
he peremptorily objected. AS to pic
lures of the Republican candidates
being in his Office, he says SO are pic
lures of Taft, Roosevelt, Mckinley,
Cleveland, Lind, Jacobson, Eddy,
and his opponent, George T. Simpson,
candidate for attorney general on the
Republican ticket, and others. 1t is
a further fact, he says, that the firm
of Mathews & Lende comprises q
Johnson democrat and Jacobson
Republican. To attempt, heconcludes
to make capital out of such cheap po
litical tricks will hardly serve it's pur
l pose.

ANEhT The SHIRT FACTORY
Columbia sClothing Company
Makes Definite Proposition.
Do Not Expect a Deed to Build
ing Until Their Payroll
Reaches $4,000.
Want Free Rent For Three Years
but are Willing to Pay Taxes
and Insurance.

The Columbia Clothing Company,
in view Of the adverse comments made
by a certain local newspaper with
regard to their proposition for the
establishment of a shirt factory in
this city, have furnished the Review
with the following statement for the
benefit of those who have already
subscribed and others who may be
interested:
'sWe ask for a sanitary building,
suitable for manufacturing purposes,
two stories high, with basement.
The building must be Is feet wide and
100 feet in depth.
s'If a building of this size cannot
be procured for $4,000, we will either
accept the 1000 and put up our own
building, or, if the subscribers feel
that they cannot put up such build
building on condition that the exac-
tions as to our payroll shall be in
proportion to the size of the building
furnished us.
1.-THE building is to be the property
of the subscribers, but rent is to be
free for US for three years. We are
willing to pay the insurance and
taxes. At the expiration of the three
years the building is to be decided
over to US free of charge provided
our payroll amounts at that time to
1926, 1000 a year. Should the payroll at
the end Of the three years be less than
S25, 900, the building is to remain the
property of the subscribers until such
time as we can show a payroll of
$4,000.
1--WE wish to have it understood
that we do not want to ask for any
thing unreasonable, knowing ultimate
ly that every dollar invested by the
subscribers will be paid out in labor
over and over again for the benefit of
New Ulm's citizens.
eff our plant is a success we have
no hesitancy in saying that we will be
Obliged to need much more room in
less than five years.
'Should nothing come of our pro-
position we wish to thank the com
mittee especially and those who took
an interest in the matter for the time
and efforts they have expended

GREAT GIFT FOR COLLEGE
st. Peter Institution Receives I'm
conditional Donations Ag-
gregating $40, 500.
Gifts Come Through the Personal
Efforts of Gov. Johnson.

A pleasing surprise at the jubilee
celebration of the Minnesota confer
ence OF the Swedish Lutheran church
at the Auditorium in st. Paul Safhr-
day afternoon was the presentation
by Governor Johnsoa of a check for
S42, 500 in aid of the endowment fund
of Gustayus Adolphus college at ST..
Peter.
Ofthe amount 1872, 500 represented a
draft just received from Andrew Carne-
gle, personally forwarded by him
from his home in Skibo, Scotland,
and the balance represented donations
solicited by Gov. johnson himself.
Much enthusiasm and cheering
followed the announcement by the
governor, and he was literally mobbed
by the ministers and laymen present.
The movement in aid of the college
endowment fund, which is the Mime
sofa educational institution for the
mother church, dates back some three
years. Wutu OOVs JOuuSOu V1Slb6u
Mr.. Carnegie personally and solicited
a donation. It was granted with the
provision that the college directors
add to it 81 for every 81 given by Mr..
Carnegie. Later, at Gov. Johnson's
solicitation, this was reduced to a
basis of 81 to SO, and still later to 81
to 50.
Personally taking charge of the
Minnesota end of the agreement.
Gov. Johnson secured from Minnesota
contributors nearly $1,000 to which
the college authorities added about
$4,000. The securing of further do.
nations appearing impossible, Gov
Johnson wrote long letter to Mr.
Carnegie, explaining the difficulty
and on Friday was rewarded with .
check for the full amount, waving al
the conditions formerly imposed
The receipt OF the money was kept {
secret until Gov. johnson reached tn,

The Hammond McCleary debate in
Mankato, the fifth of the series, will
be held next Monday evening. News
paper reports as to the outcome of the
three held thus far differ, but those
who were present, whether republicans
Or democrats, in private conversation
admit that Hammond had much the
best of it. At all Of the meetings the
greatest interest was manifested, the
Fairmont meeting attracting a crowd
of over 400 people from Hanska, ST..
James, Madelia and Truman. On the
special train carrying these people to
Fairmont a straw vote was taken re-
sulting overwhelmingly in favor of
Johnson and Hammond, and the great
majority OF the people were republi-
cans at that.

MISTOOK COMPANION FOR GAME
herm. ReSelin Accidentally Wounds
His Friend, William WieIand.


While Herman Regelin and William
Wieland, two young men of town, were
hunting on the bluff to the rear of DR..
Martin Luther College Sunday after
noon, Regelin accidentally shot his
companion in the head, injuring him
severely though not fatally.
The two boys had separated in the
woods for a time and when Wieland S
head suddenly appeared above the
brush, Regelin mistook his hat for a
bird and fired. The shot entered VIE
lands face and had it not been for the
distance which separated them would
undoubtedly have proved fatal. AS it
is Wieland will be considerably dis
figured for some time, if not for life.

LOST LIFE AT POWER PLANT
Engineer Coffman Meets with Ac.
cident that Results in Death.
Had Evidently Been Caught in
Moving Belt and Hurled
Against Dynamo.
Leaves Wife and Children with
very Little Insurance.

When Superintendent Wagner re-
turned to the electric light station
shortly after one O'Clock Sunday af-
ternoon he found the body of Engi-
neer James Coffmann lying in an UNI
conscious condition on the floor near
the big electric dynamo. Just what
had placed him there will never be
known, but the supposition is that in
cleaning the machinery Coffmann got
too close to the big belt and was hurled
against the dynamo and then to the
floor. His skull showed a bad frac-
ture and from later examination it was
ascertained that he had sustained Sc
we're injuries internally.
All attempts to revive him were fur
tile and after being taken TO the hos
pital he died within few hours, I'M
conscious to the end.
Mr.. Coffmann had lived in New Ulm
about two years, having come here
from Owatonna. He was a married
man and besides his wife leaves three
children. One of his boys was drowned
in the Minnesota river near the Eagle
mill only a few months ago.
He was not man of any grea,
means and leaves only $1,000 in in
surance. Had it not been that Mr.
Deters advanced the premium on this
some weeks ago his widow would hav.
been left with practically nothing.
