The door between the front OF
the store and the rear is always
kept locked, and was locked last
night, the key being left on the
front side of the door. The win
dows in the partition above were
left open. This morning this door
was open and the key missing. If
the man slipped into the store unob-
served last night and hid in the
basement, as he might have done, he
could have come up into the work
room and taken step ladder that
was there and climbed through the
window over the door and dropped
down into the front part of the store
and then unlocked the door, There
are two cash registers, but he did
not tamper with either one. About
$40 is generally left in them, to
make change in the morning.
The man asked several questions
as to where Mr.. Hauck kept his

night, and whether he deposited his
money before going home. Miss

mittee to report upon the financial
condition OF the synod
The religious services were re-
sumed at ten o'clock, and were con-
Quoted by Rev. John W. Roberts.
Rev. II. X. Jones based his sermon
on John 1920 verses. 1t might
be that PLATE was anxious to pay
homage to Christ as king, in the
Hebrew, Greek and Latin languages.
Or it might be that PLATE was led,
unconscious to himself, by the Di.
vine Spirit to publish Jesus as the
king over all. These three languages
represented the three great languages
of the world. There is something d.
vine in every language, and this is
true with regard to the three Ian
guages found on the cross of Christ.
Through the Hebrew language, the
prophet teaches: through the Greek
language, the poet sings and the
philosopher teaches; through the
Latin language, the laws of COM
merce have an expression. Christ
as king of religion; Christ is the
king of culture; Christ is the king
of commerce and politics of the
world.
The second sermon was preached
by Rev. II. p Morgan Minneapolis,
based on Galatians 6:l4 verse. The
great theme of Paul's preaching was
Christ, and Him crucified. A large
number OF preachers in this age have
shut Christ out of their ministry, and
yet wish to be known as Christian
ministers Paul glorfied in Christ.
Among the speakers at the Welsh
synod are two ministers from Wales
the Rev. Thomas Williams Of Holy
head, and the Rev. William p. Ow-
ems of Bethlehem church, Anglesea,
North Wales. Rev. Williams is on
an extensive tour through the Unit
ed States visiting the various Welsh
churches and communities.
Rev. Evans is visiting his friend,
Rev. w. f. Evans, pastor of the
Welsh church of this city. When III
the theological seminary, at Bala
tOlleSe, the Two were TOOlllHliiIeS-
This is the first meeting of the
two friends since leaving the semi
nary in 1887 and both are thoroughly
enjoying this opportunity to recall
old times.
When interviewed by Free Press
reporter Rev. Evans told many things
of interest about his native land.
Perhaps the point that interested
the reporter most was his recollec-
tons of the school system of Wales.
Two decades ago. when Mr.. Evans
was in school, the authorities were
opposed to the teaching of Welsh
in the public schools. The teacher
had a little wooden rule about six
inches long, called the welsh"
which was given to the first child
who conversed in Welsh to his
schoolmates. This Welsh" was pas
sed from student to student as they
were caught talking in their native
tongue.
The one i'm whose possession the
welsh" was found when school was
dismissed was given whipping.
Lately the policy Of the govern
ment has changed entirely. Conver-
sation in Welsh and the teaching of
Welsh in the schools and univer-
sites is now encouraged in every
way. The result is that the Welsh
language is being more widely
spoken today than ever before.
Both of the visitors were very
much pleased with the country and
spoke very fiattering of the hospi-
tality and welcome which they have
everywhere received

Frank Mettler's saloon, 1T South
Front street, was entered by un-
known parties last night and the
safe and drawers ransacked, but
nothing is missing Some pennies
that were lying on the shelf were
not disturbed.
Entrance. was gained by prying
off galvanized iron panel that had
been substituted for one of the lower
panes of glass in the rear door, and
then reaching through and pulling
the bolt. The pane above was
cracked in prying off the iron.
Mr. Mettler has left his safe wide
open at night ever since the safe at
Henry VeigePs saloon was blown
open several weeks ago, and he has
also made it practice to leave the
cash register open, taking all the
money home The robbers there
fore found everything open. They
ransacked the private papers in the
safe and scattered them over the
floor. They also went through all of
the drawers. Mr.. Mettler has not
missed anything, but it might be
possible that one or more packages
of liquor or few cigars were taken.
The bartender discovered the at
tempted robbery when he opened up
the saloon this morning. The police
were notified, but could get no clue.
The door where the robbers entered
is at the end of a little dark passage
way, where miscreants would be
comparatively safe while the patrol
was going through the alley. Mr..
Mettler does not leave a light burn
ing in his place. The family living
upstairs did not hear any unusual
noise during the night.

Frank Schmidt, aged twenty-one,
for several years in the employ of
Enoch Price, Cambria, is thought by
some to have committed suicide by
drowning on Thursday, but his body
was not found until late yes
terday afternoon. That Schmidt
made plans for his own end is
evidenced by the finding of several
of his effects in the tool box of a
cultivator that he had been operat-
ing during the day. He had tied
the horses to a fence post, laid a
quantity of hay in front of them,
and after depositing his watch and
keys in the tool box, he walked
along the Northwestern railroad
track a distance of about seven
miles and then it is thought by
some, he leaped into the Minnesota
river with his clothes on.
Body Found Yesterday.
Late yesterday afternoon parties
fishing in the river mile and a
half south of New Ulm discovered
the body. The coroner of Brown
county was notified and he ordered
the remains removed to cemetery
where the funeral was held today.
The body was in a frightful condi-
ton.
AS soon as Schmidt's going away
was known to the Price family they
aroused the neighborhood and a
search was instituted 1t was their
intention to drag the river today
had not the remains been found.
Son of New Ulm Man.
Schmidt was son of Chris
Schmidt of New Ulm. No cause can
be assigned for his act. The
watch which Schmidt left in the
tool chest of the cultivator is one
that was presented to him by his
employer, Mr.. Price, last Christmas.
May Have Been Accidental.
Since the above was put into type,
The Free Press is informed that
Schmidt's death may have been due
to accidental drowning. According
to a statement made by his employ
er, Mr.. Price, Schmidt was in the
habit of placing his watch and keys
in the tool box. He did not appear
to be depressed in spirit at the din
ner hour and returned to his work
in the corn field in his usual happy
frame of mind
Coroner G. F. Reineke of Brown
1l1nk Cat,,
was found in shallow water. The
coroner is of the opinion that
Schmidt was overcome by the heat
after the long walk to the swim
ming place and fell into the river.
When found he was lying face down
ward in the water. Boys in swim
ming discovered the body.

From Thursdays Daily.
Ed. and Tom Oglesby and their
friend, George Videan, who is visit
ing them and whose home is in
Pennsylvania, were locked up last
night by Officer Pollei, who saw
them making away with keg of
beer from the Chicago and North
western railway yards near Spring
street. The three young men went
up Spring street with the key wrap
ped in gunnysack, and when they
reached Broad street the officer stop
ped them, and not being satisfied
with their explanation as to where
they got the key he locked them up
on suspicion and held the key. He
then ascertained that car in the
Northwestern yards near Spring
street had been entered and a key
of beer stolen.
Claimed They Found keg.
The Oglesby boys stated this morn
ing that they found the key of beer
hidden under some hay in the North
western stockyards and that they
took it, intending to take it to Pop
lar street and drink the contents.
They did not want to go up the
tracks nor along Front street, so
they took the key up to Broad street,
intending to follow that street south.
They denied that they had entered
car, and said that they were talk
ing with the conductor and train
crew, which they would not have
done if they were going to break
into a car on the train.
Young Men Are Held.
The train came in about eight
O'Clock last evening, and it was about
ten when the arrest was made. The
three young men were held today
pending a determination by the
Northwestern roads authorities as to
whether they wished to get out a
complaint It is believed that some
thing will be done in the case this
afternoon.
