•81 New Ulm Review Wednesday, September 21, 1904. It is safe to say that if the Journal had any influence in the Miller in terests in this county, it was because of the Review editorial which it per sisted in keeping at the head of its column in bold-face type. It really has been the most readable thing in the Journal for the past three weeks or more. President Roosevelt is so very emphatic in his letter of acceptance that nobody will be puzzled to know just where he stands. It is somewhat refreshing to have a man in the office of president who knows what he wants and how to go after it. The state board of equalization has raised the valuation of office and household furniture in this county 25 per cent above the returns of the assessor. •$• •$» 4 Destroyed by CALUMET Baking* Powder complies with the pure food laws of all states.

There has been such wide spread complaint in regard to the arbitrary handling of freight and cars by the roads, in the way of charging for delays in unloading and for the time they are allowed to stand on'the tracks after the limit set by the roads, that shippers are justifiably provoked. It is a one-sided affair, for the roads do not allow anything for the delay in furnishing cars and in holding up shipments to accommodate their trains, and it frequently occurs at this point that when cars are ordered for a particular day, they fail to arrive and are all dumped in here and it is im possible for the mills to handle them. It is a burden on the shipper or re ceiver to go into court on each car and make out a case of unreasonable delay. Blockades, wrecks, floods and similar matters become very large when told before a jury. A few days seem nothing when stated, but the difficulty of doing business under such circumstances can only be appreciated by one who has been through the mill. To compensate the shipper or re ceiver for these delays, several of the states have had introduced into their legislatures laws providing for the payment to the shipper in the event he is not furnished with a car in which to transport his goods promptly, to com pensate the owner for the want of movement of the car at a reasonable rate per day, and to compensate the receiver in the event the car is not placed on unloading tracks promptly on arrival after destination. Bills to this effect have been introduced in Indiana and Illinois. Virginia has passed an act providing for recovery of the carrier at the rate of $1 per day, and practically affirming the right of the carrier to charge and collect the same amount when the facilities of transportation are withheld by the shipper or by the consignee.

It is safe to say that this matter of having city scales does not meet with the approval of most of the people of the city. It is a scheme that has been tried in various cities and has been discarded for the simple reason that it is a nuisance not only to the seller but to the buyer. In Winona the system is in vogue but it has grown to apply only to produce that is brought in from the country to be sold, as a convenience to the seller. It is an imputation upon the honesty of the dealers in fuel in this city to hold that they are giving short weight, and if there are any such in business here, it is safe to assume that they would be equal to fixing the weights of the city scales. We do not believe that the added ex pense this new dream of the editor of the News would be to the city would be offset by any benefit that would ac crue to the people of the city. If you are convinced that you are being robbed in weights, there are honest dealers enough in the city to give you an opportunity of changing. or a The advocates of the coupon dollar claim that if it is adopted by the gov ernment it will increase the advertis ing of mailable articles materially. The coupon dollar is fractioned into a five-cent, two ten-cent, a twenty-five cent and a fifty cent coupon to conform to the coins now in circulation and so arranged that any number of twentieths of a dollar can be cut off and mailed. One mercantile house in Chicago is said to receive in letters every year an average of $350,000 in postage stamps. There can be no question that postage stamps are objectionable used as money. These objections are ap parent to anybody who has ever re ceived letters containing them. It is expected that congress will be called upon at the approaching session to act on a measure for the adoption of the coupon dollar. Gasoline Tank Explodes. An explosion of a tank of gasoline at the home of W. G. Alwin Monday forenoon slightly burned Herman Pfaender about the face, and Mrs. Alwin and the maid servant, who where standing nearby,barely escaped injury. A gasoline stove with a small tank of gasoline stands in the kitchen at the Alwin residence. Mrs. Alwin and the servant were upstairs and smelling smoke rushed down into the kitchen. Flames were issuing from the wooden box surrounding the tank. Mrs. Alwin at once grasped the tank and lifted it into a pail Dearby. At this juncture their milkman Herman Pfaender appeared on the scene and just as he was about to sieze the pail the gas which had formed in the tank exploded, blowing out the top. The flames shot into the air and Mr. Pfaender was burned slightly about the face, but he soon had the pail and tank in the open air where the ex plosive fluid was allowed to burn it self out. Seek to Retain Pastor. Rev. C. H. Sauter will be the pastor of the Methodist church in this city for the coming year, if the unanimous sentiment of the congregation has suffi cient weight with the conference to se cure his appointment. At a recent meeting of the members of the church all were one in passing a resolution asking for* the return of the present pastor. The Northern German Metho dist conference meets at Le Sueur to day and it is there that the charges for the coming year will be announced. Mr. Sauter has been in New Ulm just a year and his work has been excep tionally successful. Thirty-one new members have been added during his pastorate. Twenty-one have been lost through removals from the city, leav ing a healthy growth for the year. There have also been several improve ments in the church property.

Vogel Notified to Secure Ranges. Major Louis G. Vogel of this city, received a letter from S. E. Allen, Major of the 15th Battery of field artillery, at present stationed at Ft. Snelling, that he had received orders to go into camp at New Ulm for target practice, and asked for information re garding the ranges, how soon the tar gets could be put up and the expense necessary to secure the use of the land over which the firing is to be done. During the early part of last month a number of the officers connected with the battery were here and inspected the different locations suitable for a range, and several were selected as good, but the open country that liesjto the north of the city and which in cludes the fair grounds, as a camping place, was thought to be the most available. The fact that there is city water to be had on the fair grounds pleases the officers, and also that it is only a short distance to the range which is promised and lies east from there. This outing of the artillery will be quite a thing for the city in several ways. There will be two batteries of six guns each and they will go into camp for a period of more than two weeks. The command consists of 300 men and some 180 horses and although most of the rations will be carried for the former,the latter will have to have feed and it will have to be provided from the dealers of this city. It was while in camp at Lake City last summer that Gen. Bobleter and Maj. Vogel met the commander of the artillery, and as he was lamenting the fact that there was no suitable range for the practice necessary to make his men proficient in the use of cannon, Maj. Vogel remarked that he couldfind such a range near this city. This led to some correspondence and later a visit from Capt. Ridgeway, who was pleased with the outlook and secured the orders that will remove his com mand to this city as soon as the neces sary arrangements can be made. In the selection of a range for this practice it has developed that there are a few men who are not public spirited enough to want the artillery here a^nd have refused to allow them to shoot over their property this will not inter fere with the coming of the command, however, for there are other places. In the selection of the ranges safety has been the one consideration, and it is possible to get distances of as much as a mile and a half without crossing any of the highways or frequented places besides.while the practice is on there will be pickets at any place where there is likely to be people or animals in danger. Although the government has agreed to pay a good price for the privilege of using the land for this purpose, some of the owners have re fused to let it go. CURREN AN CUTTIN Two Brown Coun ty Boys Flay in First Varsity Game. People of New Ulm and of Brown county will have particular interest in the university football team this year as there is likely to be two boys from the county on the team, in fact in the first game of the season, played Satur day between the university team and the Minneapolis High School eleven, Earl Current played fullback and Joe Cutting played as a substitute and played as quarterback. He is spoken of as having a good show for that place on the first team when it is made up. The Minneapolis Journal in speaking of Current says, "There is little need of speaking of Current at fullback. He is known from Ann Ar- Ayer's Impure blood always shows somewhere.

The game Saturday was one of the preliminary games of the season and is for the purpose of determining who of the candidates for positions are eli gible to places on the first team. There is little doubt but that Current will get his place, but there is doubt of Cut ting winning out as he is not up on the rules of the game. The progress of the team will be watched with a great deal of interest by the people of this city and the friends of the boys throughout the county. The score in the Saturday game was 107 to 0 in favor of the univeraity and Current is given credit for making one touchdown. CROSSING CAUSES WA Locomotive Guards Disputed Ter ritory Several Days. The question of a crossing at the point near the Eagle mill where the side-tracks of the Northwestern and St. Louis railroads nearly touch was the cause of a war between the two roads which waged for nearly three weeks and was only brought to an amicable settlement Sunday. The yard em ployees of both roads comprised the opposing armies and a Northwestern locomotive and several cars the engines of war. The St. Louis side track into the mill yards ends but a foot or so from the Northwestern track and the former company, feeling cramped for room, wished to extend its track across its rivals' rails for a distance of about six rods. It asked permission of the Northwestern to do this and the latter sent a contract to the former's head offices providing for protection of the Northwestern from all damage suits arising from accidents at the crossing. To this the St. Louis company refused to agree and war was declared the latter declaring its determination to build the crossing, and its rival firm in its demand for a protecting contract. To thwart any attempt on the part of the St. Louis the Northwestern held several cars on its side-trackjin readi ness to roll down onto the stretch of track opposite the point of expected attack. No hostile move was made, but to strengthen its guard the North western brought an engine onto the scene of action and from last Wednes day until settlement was reached this grim monitor guarded the disputed way. The contract agreeing to assume all responsibility for accidents at the crossing was signed by the St. Louis officials Thursday but word to cease hostilities was not received in New Ulm until Sunday. May Feed Rusted Straw. Much has been said and printed on the subject of feeding rusted straw to stock. Dean Liggett of the Minnesota Agricultural school does not agree with those who think that rusted straw is responsible for much sickness and death in catile and other stock. In answer to an inquiry on the subject he writes as follows: "Yours of the 18th came to my desk during my absence from the station. I note what you say relative to all the wheat straw in your county being badly rusted, and your inquiry as to whether it is all right to feed cattle, and is it in any way injurious to them if not, is it as good as if it was not rusted? A reasonable amount of rusted straw fed with forage and other grain to cattle will not injure them. Much of it is fed every year, and we have no definite information of its being in jurious. While clean straw is pre ferable to either rusty or smutty straw, I would advise using the present crop without fear of bad results." INCOME doesn't make prosperity if the expenses are greater. Did you ever figure out what sickness costs you per year doctors' bills, medicine bills, etc., etc., to say nothing of the suffering.

"Die Sontagsjaeger" was the name of the comedy which the St. Elizabeth and the St. Caecilian societies pre sented to the public Sunday night. The opera house was crowded. This no doubt furnished an inspiration for the amateur actors, for they earned frequent applause by their work, which in some places was distinctly clever. ^Music was furnished by the orchestra and bv the St. Caecilian choir., Chief Engineer Resigns. John Bolstad, who has been chief engineer at the Eagle Roller mill for several years, has resigned and his place has been taken by H. S. Knutson of Minneapolis. The change took place Saturday. Mr. Bolstad is to remain in the^employ of the Eagle com pany for the present. pLow O N E W A SETTLERS A E S Via the Minneapolis & St. Louis to California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, etc tickets on sale daily September 15th to October 15th.

J- Or V" W»iM.Mii^^W^mi rmm to Early in the spring the management of the New Ulm Roller mill outlined a plan of improvements for its mill that was to embrace some radical changes, and those changes have just become a reality, for the mill with its alterations will be finished and the wheels begin to turn this week. Where the old red mill stood by the side of the right of way of the North western, there now is an imposing five story structure as much different from the old mill as can be imagined. An addition 22x57 feet, taking the place of the old shipping shed, rises full five stories and covers the old part of the mill adding one story to that, making the building about square on the ground and of more convenient shape for the handling of machinery in the production of flour. Workmen on the addition will have finished their labors before the end of the week and there will then remain only^the installationlof the new machin ery. Benj. Stockman, manager of the mill, spent most of last week in the cities looking after the new machinery that is going into the plant. The mill, however, will not be closed while this work is going on, for the arrangement in building is such that the old mill can run up till the time of connecting the shaft, and in this way the output of flour will not be lessened in material. A new 250-horse-power engine takes the place of the smaller pne that has done good service for a number of years, and it is housed in anew engine room 21x31 feet. This engine will fur nish, under the new arrangement, a direct power, whereas under the old system there was much loss of power by reason of the improper construction of the old mill. Aside from the improvements that are going on in the flour mill the man agement contemplates the installation of machinery for the manufacture of rolled oats, or oatmeal, in connection with its graham, cornmeal and buck wheat products, in its cereal mill. This branch of business is compara tively new, as the cereal mill has only been in operation for a short time, but it has proved that there is a market for such goods and the mill has had a good run of business.
