John KIeinschmidt, ST., Died at

From Eridayrs Dairy.

kilograms were received last
might by the children OF John Klein
schmidt, ST., announcing that he had
passed away yesterday in the Sol
diers' Home at Milwaukee, Wis.,,
where he had been visiting since last
January. Deceased and his wife
made their home with their son and
daughter in law, Mr.. and Mrs Chas
Kleinschmidt on Route 3, but he
frequently visited at the Soldiers
Home. It is thought that erysipelas,
together with the ailments incident
Ito old age, combined to cause his
death. The remains will be shipped
to Mankato for burial. Deceased was
born in Germany and married there,
and came to America with his fam
lily, settling near Racine, Wis, where
they lived for many years. At the
outbreak of the Civil war in 1861 Mr..
Kleinschmidt responded to the call
for volunteers, and enlisted with the
Twenty second regiment Wisconsin
volunteers, serving throughout the
four years of the war. The family
removed to Minnesota about thirty
eight years ago and settled on farm
on Route 3, having made their home
in that vicinity ever since. Mr..
Kleinschmidt was carpenter by
trade, and continued his work until
advancing years caused him to take
a much needed rest.
The surviving relatives are the
widow, sons, Conrad, San Diego,
California; John, Jr., Moundbeck.
Montana; Gustave, city; Charles and
Nicholas, farmers on Route 3; and
daughter, Mrs. K Kittenger of Cale-
donia, Wis.

Iable, in their work Friday evening.
Max Schlueder was especially fine in
his Interpretation of the difficult pro-

distinctly declamatory and his enun-
citation singularly clear and intellig-
ible. Space forbids mentioning all of
the singers, but Orland Mork, Carl
Anderson, Mrs. A. w. Kayser and
Mrs. A. NJ. Anderson deserve special
credit for their work. Mr.. Mork has
Ia fine baritone voice of good range

that has ever been sent to a foreign
country by parcel post, SO far as
known, is the shipment made by the
Mitchell-Lewis Motor company of RAJ
cine, through the Racine postoffice,
and destined to Petrograd, Russia.
Owing to the refusal Of the express
companies to accept large parcels for
foreign shipment, the company was
obliged to resort to the parcel post
system to facilitate delivery of the
parts, which were on rush order.
The parcel weighed 2O1 pounds and
the postage amounted to 1864. 1t
was necessary to use 129 stamps of
the Use denomination and a few
stamps of lesser denominations.
