Mkt "THE VALUE OF AH IDEAL'* ^:. fs§j Subject of Win. Bryants Address '%)& New UlroJ|?5.-™- Seats at an Unusually Low Should All be Taken. Price J-ai-ge Delegation From Sleepy E^e Has Secured Fifty Seats.T .%* Indications at present are that there •will not be a vacant seat in Turner theatre when the evening of the 16th arrives. From the way people are calling- for seats on the outside and the •demand that comes for them from •illages and cities along the two lines of railroad coming into this city tbere fs every evidence that if the people of New Ulm, who have not secured their xeafcs do not- do so soon they will have to stand. _" A. B. Cufct«, general passenger agent of the M. & St. L. has taken the matter up and will provide a train for the 'people from the south, making it con venient for them to get here and get jsome the same evening. This will as sure a large attendance from Hanska and the surrounding country.- There will also be rates on the North western and word comes from St. Feter that, there is to be a large num ber from that city. More than 150 "rickets have been taken out for people who have demanded them and all have »ft been heard from. The assurance that W. J. Bryan w»uld be here, when given early in the -?all, created much interest and the statemeut was then made that Turner theatre would not hold all the people »ho would go to hear him. It.„ should be no less true at this time. Prom all accounts that come to this •Ifice through the exchanges this .:«cture, "The Value of—an Ideal" is -Dae of the best that Mr. Bryan has and it is received with much praise where *verfiehas delivered it. Aside from the lecture it is worth -omething to all to be able to say that you have seeu one of the greatest of ^••eh before the American people today. Mr. Bryan is a national character, a nan who has attracted attention at ¥!«rae and abroad and his coming to New Ulm is on the guarantee of theCourts "burner society and should meet the approval of all the people of the city. In the hope of filling the large hall ike society has placed the price of ad mission at the very lowest possible ivice, 75 cents to any part of the house. is a rare opportunity for all to hear *nis great orator. Sleepy Eye people have called for *fty seats and will have a delegation fcere that will be largerthan that place "ftas sent to any attraction that has «-iirer been in the city. It seems that "Bryan has many admirers in that city •who are willing to pay to see and hear fcim. I0ARD NAMES O O I E Twelve Times Elected Superinten dent of Schools. At the meeting of the school board -»st night Prof. E. T. Critchett was for ke twelfth time named as superin tendent of the city schools without a •issenting voice. This is a compliment to Mr. Crit t'aett, who has given his undivided time for the past eleven years .to the •effecting of a system in the public schools of this city that has no superior the state. In all this time he has kept himself and the schools free from the usual criticism and complaint that *s too frequent in many schools and •as given the people of the city per fect satisfaction. His re-election to this office and his acceptance of it is in accordance with The wishes of the people of the city, '^oo many school boards make the mistake of changing superintendents jrequently but in this city that error »as been avoided, and the results have shown that the interests of the school .md the district are best served thereby. It would be difficult to get a man to »11 the office as acceptable as Prof. Vitchett has done, at least until he iad been in the city for some time and had become familiar with the wants and conditions of the patrons of theHealth, schools, and he enters upon his twelfth year of service without,,, the. 3east friction or discord. WOULD HAVE GRAND JURY REMAIN Senator Somerville Protests Against New Bill. |, The question of the adoptioiP'of the i'A' »ill for discretionary abolition of the grand jury came up for discussion be fore the senate Thursday and among those who opposed the bill was Senator Somerville of this county. In his speech Senator Somerville said the grand jury was the shield of the common people. Investigations of all crime for prosecution would be left to thecounty attorney by the bill. "Undersuch a condition," he said, "where would'you have had any in vestigation of municipal affairs in Hennepin county^ if it hadn't been for the grand jury?" Senator Somerville then questioned the constitutionality of the bill which would permit of prosecutions without indictment and in oppositions to the federal constitution. Some excellent work has been done, on the streets of this city the past week. The commissioner has kept up with the thaw and the refuse that was loosened by the warm weather was re moved as rapidly as it accumulated and the cross walks have been kept clean. All this has been appreciated by the citizens of the place. WOULD CHANGE DATE OF MEETING New Uim Foresters Want Opening Day on Monday. The local Court, of Catholic Order of Foresters is making an effort to have the date of the opening of the state convention which is set by the con stitution of the Order for the second Tuesday in June changed to Monday, June 12th. The reasonfor this that it is wanted to have a "State Catholic Day," as one of the features of the meeting and if the convention is called as late as Tuesday to have that event would make it necessary for the dele gates to arrive at least three days in advance of the time of meeting. Andrew J. Eckstein, Chief Ranger for St. John Court, has taken the matter up with all the courts in thefor state and will doubtless succeed in having the time changed so that this important feature of the convention can be readily inserted in the program. He has the sanction of the Higher Court to the change, and the people of the city are ready to co-operate with him in securing the feature of the con vention that will be an attraction in itself. In his letter to the different Mr.-Eckstein says: ~-7^ "The reason and purpose of such change is the following:— Our city (in all modesty) is credited with being quite hospital towards all and every one, regardless of race, nationality, standing and belief, and we desire to have a "State Catholic Day" on Sun day, June 11, the day previous to the opening of the convention thereby promulgating our order and faith and granting our welcome visitors an op portunity to fraternize for a few hours before the work of duty begins." USE CRUSHED ROCK FOR ROOFING Product of New Dim Stone Go. takes Place of Tin. A sample of the work that can be done with the New Ulm Stone Co. pro duets may be seen on the roof. of the Masonic block. It is covered with a mixture of numbers 2 and 3 of the crushed rock produced at the quarry. This crushed stone is used with tar and in its completed condition is said to be one of the best roofing materials of the kind that can be obtained.*. As the season advances the company is receiving daily inquiries for theconducting products of the quarry and the in-be dications are that it will have all it can do to supply the demand before the summer is Over. The call now is mostly for rock for building purposes and the company finds that it will have hard work to fill these orders. The exhibit on hand at the C. & N. W. depot attracts the attention of people going through on the train and is a good sample of what the NewJJlm Stone Co. is able to turn out.

SWW UL.M- BKOWN COUNTY, MINN*, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1905$ PARMPR^ Wli I HAVE PHflNPi Milford Will be Firstof Rural Lines Enter. Company Organized to Build Tele phone Line to New Ulna. Shares in New Enterprise Sell For S $25 and are Readily Taken. The first"move- in the .direction of getting a system of rural telephones in this county was made by the farmers of Milford at a meeting called for last Friday, and the willingness with which the farmers entered into the-project is assurances that it will be a success. It was decided there to ^ell the shares at $25 and immediately thirty-six were taken, and a committee was appointed to solicit further and to report at a meeting to be held this week, "at which time an organization will be perfected and the movement put in definite legal shape. •.-, There seems to be a misunderstand in regard to what the Minnesota Cen tral is willing to do in the way of help ing the farmers-and in giving the con nections with the local exchange. The Review saw the vice-president of the Minnesota Central in regard to the matter and he talked freelyC-'^f^'.'-^fe^ He said that his company was will ing to give the rural lines anything they asked that was in reason. They would connect with them- at the city limits and for the use of the exchange would charge each subscriber on the rural lines 25 cents a month. This is cheaper than the service in the city, for if there is a general rural system connected with the city .exchange the cost of rent to the city users will no doubt be increased to more than- that. Where farmers" are willing to pay service a year in advance the com pany will make a rate of $2.50 for the year. The idea that ten cents a mes sage would be charged comes from the fact that Essig, which is atoll station of the Minnesota Central, being in cluded in the farmers exchange, would have free acess to New Ulm over the lines of the rural company and the Minnesota-Centra! would be handling their work for nothing, this the com pany refuses to do. More than this Mr. Schoeh says that the Minnesota Central will furnish the rural lines men to keep their instru ments and lines in repair, the only cost to them will be the pay of the men while they are actually in the employ of the rural company. In this way the farmers will not be at the expense of keeping an experienced man for that purpose. When they are ready to build the lines the Minnesota Central will assist them in getting line men if they desire it, in fact the farmers will find that when they are ready to talk business that the local company will meet them more than half way. There are many things in connection with building into New Ulm that are not in evidence at any other point, one of which is the limits of the city. To meet some lines coming, into this city the local company would have to build two miles or more of their own line on which they would not have a subscriber, and in any direction to get to the city limits would cost the com pany considerable. In this respect New Ulm is an excep tion to the general- run of cities and the cost of keeping up these lines and paying for the increased expense of the exchange'will have to met in the small toll rural subscri bers will be asked to pay. y-- When it is considered that 'citizens of this city are paying a rental of $1 a month for residence phones and $2 a month for phones in their places of business, it will be seen that the ad vantage to the rural liaes is great if they manage their company in the right way. ^Mjjjte'"'- ?fe :"".- Rural telephones1 and rural mail de liveries are advantages that accrue only to the farmers, as far as the cities are concerned, looking at it in a selfish way, they are a detriment, for the ten dency is to keep the farmers out of the city and at their homes, so if there is any concerted action in the way of getting these things for tbe farmers they will have to 16ok for it among themselves, for while the business men of the cities are not going to throw anything in the way of their success, it is not to be expected that they will take the initiative in securing for them what is to .work even this slight injury to their business. It may be difficult -to see where tnt injury comes in, but it is here: A man seldom comes into the city without spending some money and if he can telephone if he does not need to come for. his mail,. it is to eviden.t he a A If ILL fill I rnUllLU {s 6 the right way, and it is not like- that he, will not be here to spend his mouey^This I sied^e Roy, N. Y. 10 som&people look at it. It ly that, there are any men in this city who would be so selfish as to let that stand in the way of wishing the far mers all the comforts and conviences they can secure, but it explains why, if the farmers do not take an interest in these things, they cannot expect the business men of thegjeity- to become active in their behalf.?-': /The Review is-of the opinion from what it can gather from the officers of the Minnesota Central, that this city will be given all the advantages found in other cities when the rural lines are ready to co-operate, though they do noji hesitate in saying that where rural lines anticipate, through Minnesota Central exchanges to get a toll system over their lines free', they will not tolerate it and will shut them out. They claim this is only fair to the sub scribers wheLwpuld have to pay for the same service. INTERSTATE INITIATES NEW IDEA rglijt _^f vvr Will Give Premiums to Members Securing Applications, President Barnes of the Inter-State Accident and Relief Association has this week placed a large order with a Minneapolis firm for watch fobs which he will give to agents and others se curing applications for. insurance, in the association!:^ -V^—V^- /.--7— The idea is a new one and some thing entirely different from anything that has ever been undertaken. Some expensive premiums were given to agents at one time, but this was con ditional upon securing a large number of applications, and while it stimulated the agents to increased activity, it did not have the effect desired, and it is anticipated by the new move to make the interest more general. _- These fobs, which are heavy gold plated, with the best of black silk ribbon, and are not objectionable be cause of conspicuous advertising but are such as- may be worn and admire by anyone, are to be handled by the agents and will be given to any per son securing an application for the agent or sending one directly to the association.wii. U^fS"/'^ By taking "a Targe number of the fobs the association is able to make this unusual offer and give a premium that is worth working for and by so doing expects to realize an increase in business that will repay it for the expense of the experiment^ A number of different things were suggested for this purpose such as pins, buttons and the like, but it was decided that these were all too common and while the fobs are more expensive, it is believed that they will prove more satisfactory.
