been connected with some band or
other ever since he came to America
% years ago.
The happy couple are the proud
parents of five sons and five daughters
living. They realized, of course, that
they had been married for 25 years,
but had concluded not to have cele-
bration but to enjoy the day in the
family circle. Their friends thought
otherwise, however, and in the even.
ing the Second Regiment Band and
the members of the st. Elisabeth
Society swooped down upon them
with lot of good cheer and valuable
presents and took complete possession
of their home on north Jefferson St.

"Schauturnen."

Ssturd ay evening at Turner Hall by
|the Zoeglingsverein was . very
successful affair. The auditorium
was practically filed, more spectators
than usual being present. Nearly
two hundred members of the turning
classes took part in the various
exercises and when they fled onto the
stage, the tallest member of the
youths class leading, it was long
way back to the last tiny pupil and
when they took their seats in the front
of the house they occupied con-
siderable space. Mr.. Pfaender as
President of the Turnverein made q
few remarks concerning the work Of
the schools and was followed
Immediately by the exercises, every
lumber of which met with wellmerited
praise. The regular Turner Hall
orchestra accompanied the work.
The first number Oh the program
consisted Of standing, sitting and
lying exercises given by class OF
very small boys; the same pupils gave
an exhibition of spirited wrestling
and closed their part of the progrsm
with q running game. They were
followed by the first girls class who
had drill with the companion wands
and q singing game. The second
boys class gave an excellent piece OF
work with dumb bells and proved
themselves sure and steady on the
buck exercises, The ring exercise BY

River Improvement Favored.

Word has been received here by
Dr.. L. A. Fritsche that following the
effort of the promoters of the Mime
sofa River Development projectto have
their business reconsidered by the
War Department Committee, the matter
was taken up and . conditional re-
commendation made to Congress.
According to the Minneapolis Tri-
bune the report made to Congress was
favorable, providing the State Of
Minnesota or other local interests will
bear half the expense, the total Of
which, according to the estimate of
the engineers Office, will be approx
mately 81, 100000.
The recommended improvement con-
sists of the construction of 45.foot
dam at Lac Qui Parle, with reser-
voir capacity of 10000, 000,OC cubic
feet, considerable amount OF dredg-
ing and removal of rocks. The report
urges that the work should be under
taken at an early date, but without
corporation of the power and navi-
CATION interests of the district.
The government engineers report
that the interests of these two branches
of river commerce would conflict, since
the power people would insist upon q
capacity of q, 600. 600, 900 cubic feet of
water In dry weather, and the naviga-
ton companies would want 10000, 900
feet. It is recommended that the en-
tire operation of the dam and reser-
voir be reserved to the government.
DR.. Fritsche believes that the reason
the project received favorable re-
commendatio at this time is because
of the great floods that have worked
such havoc at the mouths of rivers
fed by streams from the North. It
be gins to look more practicable to
hold back part of the head waters
by damming the Minnesota and other
like streams than to build dikes and
levees to restrain the combined floods
at the mouths of rivers which receive
the full current of the northern
streams. This idea is in harmony with
the universal principle that to cure an
evil it is necessary to eradicate the
cause rather than to combat the result.

Secretary Knox has made formal reply
to the note addressed to him last Tues
day by Senior Ferrara, speaker of the
Cuban house of representatives. inviting
an expression of the intentions of the
United States regarding Intervention in
Cuba. The Secretary's note was limited
to the transmission to Senior Ferrara of
copy of the instruction previously sent
by the State Department to American
Minister Beaupre, at Havana, the SUBJ
stance of which has already been given to
the press. Therefore the Cuban govern
United States does not contemplate in
tervention at present, nor in the future
unless the Cuban government fails to
maintain order and protect life and prop
erty.
Various rumorS, mostly originati e
in Havana and trickling through to
Washington, Of more or less serious
engagements between the government
troops and the rebels, and Of dire
threats by brigand leaders to wipe out
whole towns, were set at rest by the
receipt at the Navy Department. late
yesterday, of a report from Admiral

Guantanamo on board his flagship

tions on the south coast of the eastern
end of the island, by reason Of the

Cuba were unchanged. and that except
for these rumors everything was

eleven months ago for the murder Of his
wife at Wellington.

deavored to obtain his release. Warren

cision. He is seventy-three years old
and appears strong. both physically and
mentally. He will be taken care OF by
brother, who is prosperous farmer.

sent to prison was committed in July.
1859. He was twenty-one years old at
the time and his wife was eighteen.
While they were out walking he sug-
gested that they remove their shoes
and stockings and wade in brook.
When they entered the brook he seized
her and held her head under water
until she drowned. When arrested he
admitted the crime. and said family

act. A plea of guilty and plea by
his attorney NFesulted in the life SEN
