Gallant But Losing Fight.

The condition of Gen. NJ. @. Butler
has been steadily growing worse for
the past several days, and it is feared
he can hold out but a few days longer
against the disease which is racking
him with pain almost constantly.
But though he grows weaker, he has
apparently never once given up the
fight. He is cheerful, hopeful and the
splendid courage which has carried
him through many a hard-fought battle
on the field of arms and in the noted
intellectual duels that equally have
made his career noteworthy, has never
forsaken him. His spendid mind is
apparently as vigorous and keen as
when he was in his prime. He is suf-
fering from Bright's disease, however,
and the symptoms are steadily grow
ing more alarming.
Among his visitors recently was his
only brother, DR.. Butler, one of the be-
loved country" doctors of the old
school, residing in Uuion county.
General Butler is the last survivor
of tie Confederate generals from this
State.-Columbia Record.

FULL PARDON FOR COLE YOUNGER
That is What is Asked for by For.
mer Mayor Of Kansas City.

Absolute pardon for Cole Younger,
the famous bandit, is what James A.
Reid, former mayor of Kansas City
asks of Gov. John A. Johnson Mr..
Reid says that Younger is now pro-
noting a suburban railway scheme
and IS handicapped by the fact that
the Minnesota pardon carries condi-
tons. People down in Missouri,
where Cole now lives, have the i'm
preston that it is possible for the
Minnesota authorities to send for him
and return him to prison any time
they want to.
Cole Younger and his brother. Jim,
now dead, were released from the
state prison on parole in 1901, under
the terms of an act allowing parole of
life prisoners after twenty-five years.
Both pinned for home, but the parole
forced them to live in Minnesota
After Jim committed suicide the state
board of pardons allowed Cole to go
on condition that he never engage in
any public performance to exploit his
past misdeeds. Though he is held to
have broken that promise, the pardon
is not revoked and there is no way
Minnesota can force him to return

new ULM WINS BY SCRATCH
Local Baske tball Team Carries off
Championship Honors From
Saltwater.
Score so Close, However. that Vic
tory is Hardly a Satisfying
One.

The much heralded New Ulm-Still-
water basket ball game is over.
New Ulm won, but few there were
who witnessed the game who were
wholly satisfied with the outcome.
In other words, there was nothing
in New Ulm' close victory provocative
of enthusiasm.
The final score was IS to 33. Some
one scoring for Saltwater had diff
ferent score and among the spectators
there were those who had recorded the
game as tie. The referee, however,
before he left the hall, conceded the
game to New Ulm.
Undoubtedly New Ulm won. and won
fairly too, but when comparison is
is made all must concede that the visi-
tors outplayed their opponents. Not
only were they superior in team play,
but they excelled in throwing baskets,
in guarding and in sticking to the ball.
In fact, in nearly every one of these
y
feet. Our boys, however, we're more
than their match in getting possession
of the ball when it was thrown up in
the center, and this was an advantage
which often made the efficient work of
the Saltwater team useless.
During the first five minutes Still
water nearly swept the locals off the
board, scoring eight points in rapid
succession before New Ulm could get
nything like a chance at the basket.
Then the New Ulm boys took a brace
to themselves and the first half ended
with score of only q to 20 in Still
waters favor.
The game in the second half was
closely contested throughout. Antho-
ny guarded his men better than dur
ing the first half and Tony Stadtherr
put up front for swiftness that had
much to do with determining the re-
suit.
The teams, on the whole, were we'll
matched and played clean ball. Still
water loses its place as undisputed
champion Of the state, but it has
shown that it might easily wrest the
laurels from New Ulm if the opportu-
nifty we're given.
From the game, the New Ulm team
has certainly learned this lesson
confidence is good thing as long as
it promotes steadiness, but fatal wher
/ it promotes carelessness.

convention last summer.
This was not considered much Of a
setback, however, as the Office carries
with it no 6nancial remuneration, but
now Somsen has gone after Buck on
his own account and administered
another drubbing. This was in the
fight over the democratic. nomination
for the municipal judgeship, Somsen
winning out with a majority of TIA
votes.
The contest between the two men was
the most exciting of the primary cam
paign and Bucks defeat is regarded
with unusual interest because ali the
johnson democrats OF the city worked
and voted against him.

taking the position that the court had
no jurisdiction, and accordingly Judge
Olsen rendered Judgment in favor of
the city in the amount of sl,116. The
collection of this Judgment, the city
attorney explained, might be long
drawn-out process, inasmuch as the
defendant was not Il resident of the
state and furthermore might insist on
carrying the case into the higher
courts.
The city attorney also reported that

Gopher Lawmakers Call on Fe-

Ask for Financial Support in Clear.
ing and Improving the Min
neSOta.
Promised That a Start of Some
Kind Will be Made This
Summer.

Last week the Minnesota legislature
authorized the appointment o. a COM
mission consisting Of two senator's and
two representatives to 60 to Wash
ington to impress upon the federal au-
thorities the necessity Of making a
liberal appropriation for the improve
ment of the navigable rivers of the
state and the construction Of system
Of reservoirs to prevent periodical
Overlooking Of valuable land.
AS members of this commission It.
Gov. Eberhart named Senators John
son of ST. Peter and harrington of
Ortonville, while Speaker Rockne ap-
pointed Representatives Spooner of
Bemidii and Rosenwald of Madison.
The commission, accompanied by
State Engineer Ralph, journeyed to
Washington Saturday and remained
in conference with the Minnesota sena-
tors and representatives and the chief
of engineers Of the war department
nearly all day.
AS a result of this conference it is
practically determined that one or
possibly two snag boats will be put on
the Minnesota river this summer, to
remove distractions; that the Mime
apoiis and St. Louis railroad OBJ
~struction near Morton will be re-
moved; and that congress will give
adequate authority for surveying the
Minnesota valley to determine what
can be done toward improving naviga-
ton and preventing floods.
Representative Spooner will intro
duce new resolution in the Mime
sofa legislature calling attention to
the fact that sandbars and other OBJ
structions have multiplied in the river
and urging that the government take
proper steps to remove them.
According to the present plan, this
resolution will 60 to Senator Nelson,
who is a member Of the commerce COM
mittee of the senate, and that commit
~ tee will refer it to the war department
with the request that the Minnesot
needs be attended to.
The commissioners were satisfied be-
fore they left Washington that no ap-
preparation could be secured from this
session of congress.
Members of both houses were inter.
viewed, and it was decided that Con
gresham Volstead and Congressman
Adam Bede should present the case tC
the proper committee.
The river and harbor bill already
prepared provides for survey, anc
it is not likely that anything further
will be done.
The Improvement desired by the Min
nesota people is the creation of reser
voir system by the erection of dams a
the outlets Of Big Stone and Lac Gu
Parle lakes. These two reservoir
would control thirty per cent Of tn
water in the river, and by collecting
- food waters, could prevent floods il
the low lands and furnish a stead
fow Of water for navigation.
