Revorboratos With Shouts.
During the three hours Of debate on
the wool bill the corridors Of the cap
itol reverberated time and again with
shouts Of approval and derision from
the floor. Spirited discussions between
members were frequent. Republican
Leader Mann and Representative Clay
ton of Alabama, had a Wordy encoun-
ter, which for a moment had a threat
ening aspect. The incident was pre-
cipitated when the minority leader OBJ
jected to the Alabama members re-
quest to have newspaper editorial
printed In the congressional record.
That the administration keenly was
watching developments was evidenced
in the presence on the floor OF the
house Of Messrs. Wickersham. Hitch
cock. Nagel and Stimson Of the presi-
dents cabinet. All of them kept a
close tally on the roll call until it was
apparent that the democrats could not
rally the necessary two thirds ma
tority.
Iowa Alignment Unchanged.
The Iowa republicans took the same
position on the veto they have taken
on the bill. Three Of the delegation
Hubbard. Haugen and Woods. all OF
whom voted for the wool bill, voted to
override the veto. Judge Prouty was
at Plainfield, n. j., but was paired
against the veto. The other republican
members Of the delegation voted with
the president.
Senator Kenyon was an interested
spectator Of the proceedings While the
test was being taken on the wool
veto.
Haugen, Hubbard and Woods were
all Of the Iowa delegation republicans
who voted to override the veto on the
free list bill.

MADE A CONFESSION
Noble P. Gruer Confesses Firing
Building at KIossner.

Sheriff Olsen returned Friday from
Finlayson, village in Pine county,
last Thursday, having in charge Noble
P. Gruer, aged 10 years, who is
charged by Ernest Simpson, deputy
state fire marshal with having set fire
to store building at Klossner which
he bought in January: and which was
insured for $4,000. Gruyer claims that
he bought the building of Katie Roth,
paying down $500 cash on the place,
after which the insurance was made
over to him. The building was de-
stroyed by fire on March 20, and
Gruer Immediately attempted to
collect the insurance from the Mutual
Fire Insurance company at Chatdeld,
MINI. It was two-stOry frame
business building.
AS the fire appeared to be of an in
cendiary origin, Deputy Fire Mar
shall Simpson was called upon to in
vestigate. Soon after the fire Gruer

Longest Day of the Year.

Wednesday of last week was the
longest day in the year. 1t was longer
by one minute than the day before and
the day after was taking the period OF
sunlight as indicating the length of
the day. Since Dec. 81. last year
days have been frightening by one or
two minutes daily.
The sun rose Wednesday morning
at 4:l2 AID it set at S:07, making
fifteen hours and fifty-fve minutes of
sunlight. Tuesday it rose at LIP and
set at sos; it rose Thursday at Alb
and set at 8.07.
The change in the length of the day
will be imperceptible for some time,
but each succeeding day will be q
minute or two shorter than the last
and 1t will not be many weeks before
the change will be evident to everyone.

Affected Crops in Iowa, Kan.

Misleading Reports.

The Tracy Herald last week, in re-
publishing the article from the Review
on the crop conditions in many loca-
lities along and near the line OF the
Northwestern railroad, from Spring
field in this county to Tracy, stated
that 'unless rain comes soon we will
not secure feed enough of oats and
barley to supply the home demand,
and as for hay we may. be compelled
to look to other vicinities for our
supply. AS to crop conditions west
of here railroad men tell us that the
drouth on the Dakota division is
even worse than it is here. Some
farmers are blowing up the grain
fields and planting flax with the hope
that it will terminate and produce a
late crop. West of Pierre the whole
country to the Black Hills is burned

IS fast as they can"

as fast as they can
Reports have also been coming to
the Eagle Roller Mill Co. in this city
the past ten days from their elevator
agents along the lines of the North
western and M. & St. L. railroads,
particularly in South Dakota, that
the wheat, oats and barley crops, are
already failures beyond redemption to
such an extent that there will be very
little for shipment to the mill. The
condition is much more serious
than has been known or believed.
Drouth has also affected crops in
parts of Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and
other localities, and when the full
extent of the crop injury becomes
known the price of wheat and other
small grains must advance. An
astonishing feature is the fact that the
head of the State Agricultural college
and Prof. Hayes, formerly of the same
college, should furnish the St. Paul
with untruthful crop pros
poets, when an intelligent person
sitting in his Office knows from
weather conditions that the statements
are misleading.

North Third Str. Crossing
Scene of Accident.

A serious accident happened Tues
day morning to little Henry Amann,
the nine year old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ben Amann, when his leg was cut off
below the knee by wheel of moving
freight train.
The lad was returning from the
meat market, where he had done an
errand, to his home which is down on
Valley St. near the green house and
was walking along the track passed the
depot. The morning freight train
going south switched long string OF
cars southwark. When the little
fellow got to the crossing on North
Third st. be found it blocked.
The cars, as it is supposed, proved
q temptation for the boy and he
'hooked" oo to one OF the moving
cars to take ride. He lost his hold,
so it is believed, and fell under the
wheels which severed his right leg just
below the knee and considerably
bruised the left leg. This is one
theory.
| Another theory holds that the cars
had come to standstill at the cross
ing when the boy reached there and
that he made an effort to reach the
other side by crawling underneath.
However, before he could accomplish
this the train moved on and the hind
trucks of the car struck him before he
could pass over the rail. If this
theory is correct then it must be
assumed that his body proper had
already passed the rail when the
wheels started to move and thus cut
his leg, the cars passing over his body
lying between the rails. AS he was
found on the outside of the rail he
must have, then had strength enough
to crawl back where he was found.
Station agent Leary and Chas. En-
merich witnessed the accident as both
men were out in the yards investigat-
ing the condition of the watermains.
The boy was about so feet ahead OF
them when suddenly he disappeared.
AS soon as the train passed Mr..
Leary rushed up to where he had seen
the little fellow lying alongside theraii,
hisleg just connected to his body by
few cords. The brave lad was fully
conscious and seemed quite composed.
Not even tear was visible to show
what anguish he was suffering. Mr..
Leary tied up the wound with ham
kerchief to stop the flow of blood. A
physician was called Immediately and
the boy was hurriedly taken to the
hopital where the right leg was ampu-
tated just below the hip. 1t is too
early, at this writing, to make any
statements as to the outcome of the
injuries.

Boy Drowned in Minnesota River.

Leonard Schmitt, aged % years,
born in Cottonwood township, this
county, q son OF Christ Schmitt, Of
New Ulm, was drowned in the Mime
sofa river on Thursday, and the body
was found on Sunday. The young
man had worked between three and
four years for G. M. Roberts in Cam
bria, Blue Earth county. He left the
Roberts home in the morning of Thurs
day to cultivate corn on the Nichols
farm aoout II miles West ofthe Roberts
place, on the old Mankato wagon
road. The team was found tied to the
wagon, and the theory is that he was
greatly affected by the excessive heat
of the day and had gone to the river
to battle, but fell in and was drowned,
or tn at he had gone beyond his depth.
About 2 O'Clock Christ Dauer looked
for him, but failed to find him, and
on Sunday Willie Nichols and four
other boys made another search and
found the body that afternoon In
about feet of water, at the corner OF
Blue Earth and Brown counties, in
the last named county, and that gave
Coroner DR.. Reineke, of New Ulm,
jurisdiction. The coroner decided
that it was case of accidental drown
ing, which was the most rational con-
clusion. The body was brought to
New Ulm and buried in the Catholic
Monday morning. |
