Berlin, Feb. 27.-All Germany is
today celebrating the twenty eighth
of the wedding of the en-
peror and empress. A family gathering
was held today at the palace, and the
royal pair received messages of con
graduation from all the monarchs OF
Europe.
1t was on Feb. q, 1881, that
Friedrich Wilhelm, then crown prince
of the empire of United Germany,
was married to the Princess Augusta
Victoria of Schleswig Holstein Sender
burg-Augustenburg, then girl barely
twenty two years of age. There was
great rejoicing throughout Germany on
that day, and the anniversary has
always been remembered by the Ger.
man people, and never more enthusl-
astically than today.

SUES PApA-1N-LAw FOR $4,000.
Action Started in District Court BY
Roman Kruger Against Cunningham


New Ulm. Feb. 27.-The sequel TO
the marriage of Roman Krueger and
Miss Grace Cunningham. which took
place at St Paul last fall, has caused
another chapter to be added TO this
extraordinary love match.
Mr. Krneger has brought an action
against Willis Cunningham, las faith
er in law. to recover $4,000 for ma
lcious prosecution and false imprison-
ment through his attorney. William G..
Owens. of Redwood Falls
All the interested parties are resi-
dents of Sleepy Eye, where they have
resided for many years. Roman Krue-
ger is now, and was at the time of
his marriage, night policeman of the
city of Sleepy Eye. His courtship
was strenuonsly opposed by the girls
parents, they claiming that She was
under eighteen years of age and aside
from that had other objections. This
did not deter the lovers from carrying
ont their designs, however, and under
the guise of visiting friends at Spring
| field, she went to st. Paul, where her
future husband applied for a marriage
| license at the clerk of courts office in
Ramsey county, giving the girls age
as eighteen years. AS soon as Mr..
+, Cunningham became acquainted with
! the facts he swore out "a warrant for
the arrest of his new sOnin law and
had him lodged in jail, on a charge of
perjury, but he was subsequently re-
leased on bail. At Il preliminary trial
in the municipal court Mr.. Kruger
was bound over to the action of the
Ramsey county grand jury. The grand
jury met and they failed to find a
true bill against him and Mr.. Kruger
was then Il free man, at least he es-
capped all legal entanglements which
had promised to mar his marital bliss

LIKES To MAKE LAWS
MR. JORGENSEN GETTING ON TO
HANG OF THE ROPES"
Discusses Legislative Matters in Which
the People of MarkatO are In
terested the Bridge Proposition;
the Normal DOrmitory; Large
Sums of Money Asked For.
From Saturdays Dajlv.

From Saturdays Dailv.
Representative Jorgensen is home
from st. Paul to remain over Sunday.
He is getting ''the hang of the ropes"
and rather enjoys being in st. Paul,
although he has caught "A cold that re
fuses TO let go of him. He has Il lot
of committee work to do, and finds
that there is little leisure time.
Talks of Bridge Appropriation.
Speaking of legislation in which this
city and county is interested, Repre-
sentative Jorgensen said that the bill
to change the location of the proposed
new bridge across the Minnesota river
has passed both houses. He hopes to
get some additional money for the
bridge through the road and bridge
appropriation to Blue Earth county,
provided the county board will agree
to use it for that purpose. He does
not think that Il specific appropria ton
for The bridge could be made.
Same objection has been raised
among the members to increasing the
sum asked for site for ladies'
dormitory for the normal school from
$4,000 to $4,000 He states that II
great mistake was made in only ask
! ing for $4,000, which was an entirely
too small Il sum. 1t would have looked
better TO the legislature to have asked
Tor the amount wanted in the first
place instead of doing it after the
first request had been sent in He
would do what he could TO get the
larger sum allowed, however.
| Large Sum Asked For.
Mr.. JOr3enSen did not commit him
self as to his attitude on the anti
! tuberculn move of Senator Swanson,
saying that there are so many de
mands on the legislature for money
: that he did not think that very much
would be allowed TO enable the carry
! ing out of the tests. He would like Ia
| know the feeling in Mankato on the
/ subject. He is i'm favor of having the
tax collected from automobiles used in
1.-THE counties where the money is paid
, except in the ease of the twin cities
The various automobile bills were con
/ sidered in committee of the whole yes
terday morning, and after each had
been explained. all were referred to 4
special committee to prepare one bill
/ to cover the points in all the bills
presented.

LAVISH WITH MONEY
THAT rs CHARGE MADE AGAINST
THE STATE FAIR BOARD.
Legislative Investigating Committee Is
Said to Have Found Evidences of
Extravagance; Loose Bookkeeping
Another Too Liberal Allowances
for Expenses.

st. Paul, Feb, 25.-The Dispatch says !;
Though nothing criminal has been
discovered by the special house COM
mittee now investigating the state fair
management, the report to be made to
the legislature, it is intimated, will be
the most censorious in the history of
that institution.
Charges of extravaganza are made
and, according to one member of the
committee, these cover a system of
loose bookkeeping that approaches the
mheardo of in many ways. In fact
the association has no regular book
keeping, the money being received and
disbursed along lines that no business
concern would permit.
Board Allowed Liberal Expenses.
The board of managers consists OF
nine members and each OF them is a
superintendent of department, clothed
with extraordinary powers, They re-
ceive 5000 Il year and expenses and
each constitutes himself a committee
of one for the purpose of visiting
y
in the interest of the fair OF course
there are expenses and these often in
clude dinners and automobile rides
with the bills for the same audited by
those making the visits.
Quoting one member of the commit
tee, these trips happened Otter
and with regularity. There is M
check on the bills, the committee an
diting its own and receiving vouchers
from the treasurer for the same. Thi.
feature of the work is done along lines
of gentlemanly courtesy.
Payrolls Not Checked UP.
What has bothered the house com
mittee the most to date is the startling
method employed paying the immense
amount of help used during fair week
Each superintendent is responsible fo
those under him and the pay rolls, a
submitted in each instance, have beer
accuracy. Some superintendents hav,
used the card system, while other:
simply submitted list of names and
from the observations of the investi
gators, in every instance payment
were made without question.
Fireworks and Hippodrome Accounts
One difficulty encountered int
which the committee is still delvina
is the fireworks faeture of the fan
B. f. Gregory received $500, yea
for the management of the same, an
a company located at Chicago, O
which he is a member, supplies tn
fireworks. These are paid for by TIL
fair association
The hoppodrome, conducted durin
the fair, is another matter eneagn
the attention of the committee, mem
bers of which say that the return
were not commensurate with tn
amount invested.
Former Officials to Be Summoned.
So far the committee has confine
its investigations to Secretary Cos
grove and President Underwood an
several wagonloads of books an
vouchers, which it had brought to tn
capitol. Past officials of the associa
tion will be put on the spit as fas
as they can be reached.
As one of the members puts it, tn
investigation to date, while devoid G
anything in criminal way. yet show
Igreat extravaganza. The ticket sale
are to be inquired into this week
