Secure a Majority of the County Officials and Poll an Increased Vote for Bryan and Lind. Up to the time of going to press Wed nesday forenoon, the returns from both county and state are necessarily very in complete although Bryan and Lind show very material gains in all precints from which returns have been received. For the city of New Ulm thereturns convey the most satisfactory intelligence for the fusion forces, the three wards of the city giving Bryan 497 and McKinley 451, a gain of 250 for Bryan against four years ago. On the vote for gover nor the gain was equally marked, land's majority being being 99 more than in 1898, his total gam in votes being 142. The total vote standing Lind 6.59, Van Sant 306. In the county present returns show that McCleary and Mathews are running close with the chances in favor of Math ews. For representative Peterson car ries New Ulm by 50, the vote being Pet erson 537, Ochs 487. Coming down to the county ticket Vogel for auditor is undoubtedly elect ed by a good majority. For treasurer, Schneidei, fusion, carried the city by 150 and is undoubtedly elected: For register of deeds Miller's majority in the city is 75 and his election is conceded. Matter, fusion candidate for sheriff, car ries New Ulm by 500 and his election is practically assured. For judge of pro bate there is very little doubt of the election of George, fusion, he having car ried the city by 263 votes and nearly all returns from outside precincts showiug comfortable majorities. The If nal count for attorney will show a very close run between Ol3eu and Hoidale with the chances at this time in favor of Hoidale's election, his majority in New Ulm being 245. For surveyor Boock carries New Ulm by but 35 but is probably elected. Cutting, fusion candidate for superin tendent of schools,, is without doubt elected, carrying New Ulm by 150. Dr. Fritsche, fusion candidate for cor oner, carries his home town by an even 500 and is considered to have even chan ces with Wellcome, republican, in the balance of the county excepting in Sleepy Eye which gave Wellcome a majority of 128. For county commissioners the first district elected Hoffmann, fusion, while in the third district Eckstein, fusion, is ceitainly elected. The Country's Population. As- was generally expected, the count of the country's population reveals a much smaller rate of interest in the past ten years than was scored in the decade ending with 1890.. The present popu lation is 76,295,220, of which 74,627,907 is in the states. This will be the basis on which representation in the popular branch of Congress and in the electdrial college will have to be formed in the coming short session of Congress. The other portion of tue 76,000,000 of in habitants are in the territories (includ ing Hawaii)—1,667,813. Tne aggregate gain in population in the decade has been 13,225,464, which is at the rate of about 21 per cent. This is the smallest proportionate increase in inhabitants in the whole history of the country. In the decade ending with 1890 the gain was a small fraction less than 25 per cent, and it was 30 per cent in the ten yearthgndiug with 1880. In the previous decade,, that which covered the war of secession, the gam was onlv 22.63 per ceni, which was the lowest rate of in crease since the government was founds ed along to that time, but that between 1890 and 1900, as will be seen, drops below this mara. '.- There is no change in the relative rank of the leading states. New York is far ahead of all the other states, the gap between it and Pennsylvania, the second on the roll, widening since 1890. New York's inhabitants are now well beyond the 7,000,000 mark, and Penn sylvania's are in excess of 6,000,000. Illinois holds the third place, which she gained in the census of 1890, when she passed Ohio, and Ohio keeps the-fourth place, which she was put in then. Mis souri is atili fifth, a rank which she has had since 1*70. Missouri's present pop ulation is 3,107,117. Texas gains the VOLUME XXII. NO. 44. E BBOW1T COUNTY, MTNK^WEDNESDAY, NOV. 7. 1900. WHOLE NUMBER** 1188 MAKE 1^AJfefcr i-i.-fea&.'sfc sixth place, which Massachusetts had in 1890, Texas' inhabitants at the present time reaceing 3,048,828. Massachusetts is seventh on the present roll, and Indi ana, Michigan and Iowa following after it in this order, each of these three hold ing the same relative position which it had in 1890. Several of the states— Maine, Vermont, Kansas and Nebraska —made very small gains in population in the decade, while Nevada, which wab at the foot of the, list in 1890, is in that place still, and the gap between her and the next state above has broadened, for Nevada, alone among the states, has fal len off in inhabitants in the decade. Missouri has a chance of gaining a. Congressman in the coming apportion ment of Representatives. The ratio of representation which was established ten years ago was 173,901, under which Mis- *™*Z alw«™ Ther is always an unwillingnes. to cut down the actual number of Representa tives of any state, although this has been done more than once. As some of the states have grown very slowly in the decade a very large increase in the ratio would decrease their number of Repre sentatives, except in the case of the states like Nevada, which have only one member of the House. The arrangement of the basis of representation will be one of the most interesting tasks which will come before Congress when it meets in December, and every state will have a vital concern in this adjustment. Death Calls Another Pioneer FREDERICK BEINHORN, A RESIDENT OF NEW ULM SINCE 1854 STRICK EN WITH PARALYSIS. Builder of New Ulm's First Flouring Will And one of its Pioneer Busi ness Men. The death of Frederick Beinhorn, which occurred on Thursday of last week, removes from the scene another of New Ulm's pioneer citizens and one of its most highly respected townsmen. The cause of his deatii waB paralysis, the stroke which proved fatal comiug five weeks prior to his death. He was 79 years of age, that anniversary of bis birth having been reached but two days before the time of his decease. The funeral, which was very largely attended by his friends and former business asso ciates, was held at the family residence Saturday afternoon, the funeral address being made by G. A. Firgau, and the re mains were laid to rest in the city ceme tery. „™,! ha. flff0«„ TT Schaller of the Dr. Martin Luther sour has fifteen members o* the House of Representatives. The tendency has been to increase the ratio after each suc ceeding census, so as to prevent the House of Representatives from reaching a number which would be unwieldy. Present indications are that a figure ap proximating 200,000 will be fixed upon by Congress when it comes together a few weeks hence as the basis for the next ten years. Under this allotment „, at 7:80 the sermon was preached bv Missouri would gam a Representative. .. „y ThPr« i« Frederick Beinhorn was born in Braun schweig, Germany, in 182i and came to the United States in the year 1852, lo cating in Chicago where he was married two years later. He was one of the most active participants in the organization of the colony which came to this place and founded the city of New Ulm in 1854 and has been a continuous and valued resident of this city since 1855. He was a part owner in the first sawmill erected here which he owned in connection with Fr. Rehfeld and operated until ita de struction by fire. He was also part own er in the flouring mill erected immedi ately after the burning of the little saw mill and of which thes present magnifi cent Eagle Roller Mill is the outgrowth. Following his connection with the flour ing mill he opened a general store here which he conducted until about 13 years ago when he sold out and retired from active business life, but -vas ever a firm believer in the destiny of the city and an ardent supporter of everything which tended to its social and commercial ad vancement. Of the immediate family there survives him his aged wife and six children, Mrs. Holmbeig, of Woonsocker, S. D., Mrs. Eckstein and Miss Bertha Beinhorn, of Duluth, Miss Emma Beinhorn of this ci ty, Alfred Beinhorn of Winona and Fred Beinhorn of Helena, Montana. ,VYVA- Willie Ortwein has resigned his posi tion, as clerk at the Grand and will leave for South Dakota. Phi •v,3j' Dedicate Their School HEW ULM LUTHERANS TAKE POSSES SION OF NEW BUILDING. Parochial School Opens today with En rollment of about One Hun dred and Forty. The new School'building erected by the Lutheran congregation of this city at North Second and State streets was formally dedicated Sunday. The dedi catory ceremonies commenced with an address by Rev. G. J. Albrecht, resident pastor of the Lutheran church, at 10 a. m. at the school building, followed a 3 college. The morning ceremonies were participated in by the children of the school, the Concordia band and a male choir. The attendance was very large, a great number of people from neighbor ing towns and cities being present. The regular communion services of the church were also observed at the morning ser vice/ At the evening service, commencing „„„rfii« Kochler of Nicollet^and .nusic was furnished by Concordia band aud a mix ed choir. The new building is a spacious and imposing three story structure of red brick fronting on State street and will cost, exclusive of furniture, about $7,000. It is modern in every particular, provid ed with furnace heat, sanitary j!umbiug and all the appointments of thorough ly up to date educational institution. After the summer vacation, delayed to a certain extent by building operations, the school opens today with an enroll ment of at least 140 pupils, and this number, it is expected, will be very largely increased during the present term. The confirmation class will also begin its work today, but it is as yet impossible to state the probable number of communicants who will take advant age of the work. The Constitutional Convention. Cuba has been through two general elections. The first, held on June 15 of the present year, for the election of mu nicipal officers uud municipal judges. On September 15 a general election was held to elect members to the Constitu tional Convention. At this election thir ty-one delegates were elected, "together witli their substitutes. This election, while developing much stronger politi cal passions than the former, neverthe less passed off without disturbance or disorder. Out of the entire number of delegates elected only six or seven con tested elections resulted. These will be settled by the members of the Conven tions themselves, it being the purpose of the military government to avoid any interference whatever either in the elec tion of candidates or jr the stttlement of disputed elections. At each of the elections the voting places were under the control of repre sentatives of the different parties, and no American officer, soldier or civil offi cial was present at any voting place in the island. The people as a whole are looking forward with deep interest to the work to be done by the Constitu tional Convention, and while anxious to have the work proceed as rapidly as pos sible are nevertheless patient. They re alize that it is a work of vast import ance, that it must be done carefully, and that ample time must be taken to prop erly consider the various important fea tures to be embodied in the new Consti tution. The principal political parties in the island at present are the National, the Republican and the Union Democratic. The general object of all these parties is the same, all desiring the establishment of a constitutional government. One of the great questions to be fought out in the Convention is us to whether Cuba shall be formed into ore or more States. This is a question of great importance to Cubans, and there are strong opinions for and against it. $.t The personnel of the Constitutional Convention, as elected, repieaents fairly all the different .political parties and subdivisions thereof. The same is true of the substitutes elected. There is every indication that the Convention will take up its task with a great deal of enthusi asm. There will, of course, be a consid erable amount of woric necessary in de termining the contested election cases. After these have been disposed of, the regular duties of the Convention will be taken up. Many of the members are at present investigating and studying the constitutions of various countries. The general opinion is that the constituon adopted will be in it's general features timilarto the Constitution of the United States. Hie personnel of the Convention includes a number of very able members of the judiciary as well as members of other learned professions. The ciyil gov ernors of four of the six provinces have been elected, two members of the Su preme Court and others, distinguished either in the law or ia the-, services ren dered the lslrnd. There is no reason to believe that this Convention will be oth er than successful. Prior to the munic ipal elections, it was freely predicted that general disturbances would follow an attempt to hold general elections. They passed off without a single breach of the peace. The same dubious express ions were heard immediately preceeding the election for delegates to the Consti tutional Convention, but this- election,, also passed off without the slightest dis order.—Collier's Weekly. Business Has Increased* The statement of the collector of in ternal revenue for October shows thatr. there has.been 110 disturbance in busi ness circles, as is usually the case before a presidential election. There has been. a large increase in business- throughout, the state over September and October of 1899. The most noticeable increase i& in the sale of documentary stamps, which is a certain index to business conditions, as the stamps are used on checks, stocks, bonds, transfers of property and other commercial instruments. Last year there was a decrease of $1,505 in the October receipts from this source, as compared with September. This year there has been no falling off, but a large increase. Tbe receipts from the sale of documen tary stamps last month were $82,125.79, an increase of $4,090.15 over October,. 1899, and of $12,395- over September of this year. The steady increase can only be accounted for by an increased volume of business. The receipts from the tax on beer show a more startling increase, than can probably be traced to the elec tion. The receipts from beer stamps us ually begin to fall off in October. In 1899 the October receipts were $11,100 less than for September. This year, how ever, the October revenue from ihe beer tax was $119,53735, $10,6-23 more than September, and $20,997 above the amount received from beer in October,. 1899. While this may be construed as. showing an increased consumption of beer, due perhaps to election and the un usually warm weatherlast month, it also indicates that home-brewed is being used in place of the products of Milwaukee and St. Louis breweries. The October receipts from the tax on cigars was $22,017.52r an increase of $2, 638 over September, and of $3,389.4£ over October, 1899. This large increase is partially due to election, but mainly to the tact that Minnesota smokers are using Minnesota-made cigars. The total receipts for October were $237,716.26, an increase of $26,612.22, ovei September, and of $39,208.86 over October, 1899. There are dinner pails and dinner pails and they vary in size. The trust mag nates have one size, and the working men another. Let us compare a few of them: In 1S96, JohnD. Rockerfeller's Stand ard oil dividends were $15,000,000. In 1900, year ending, July 1, $38,000,000. The "tilling" of his pail increased $23, 000,000. Rockerfeller's average clerk received $720 in 1896,nnd the same in I900,wbile the cost of his food and clothes was in creased 25 per cent, and over. In 1896 Mark Hanna, from his coal mines and mill stock and the like, net ted $636,000. In 1900, after they had been placed in the trusts his profits were $3,295,500. In 1896 tbe average annual earnings of Mark Hanna's coal miners were $384, in 1900 they were $298. How about the dicner bucket? Thu3 we find that the wealth of these republican trust magnates who ''want four years more" of it, swelled immense ly, while the earnings of their employees stood still or decreased. Rockfeller's profits increased $23,000, 000 in four years, a yearly rate of over $5,000,000. His $720 a year employee, got no increase at all.£./? iQ, Hanna'a profit increased $2,560,000, while the average annual earnings of his miners decreased from $884 to $298. Of course, the republican trust mag nates want "four years more" of it, Bat what about the laboring nwnt—Ex. 4 •a 5 -3* 1 'I 5 ':P: 1 aft
