,i w\ •MM Your Checks are Receipts. College Heights. When the 2:30 C. & N. W palled out of New Ulm it took the D. M. L. C. baseball team to Sleepy Eye. One and one-half hour later the umpire called "play ball." The first Inning brought each side two scores. Some start! Eh! During the course of the following innings it sometimes seemed as though D. M. L. C. would be the victor—but—a poor throw to first brought Sleepy Eye a whole score. 1 believe this was somewhere in the fifth inning. By the time 9 innings were played, Sleepy Eye had four scores. The standing to the best of my knowledge is: Teams E Sleepy Eye High 4 5 1) D. M. L. C. 3 5 3 Umpires: (S. E.) Sherman, (D. M. L. C.) Dommer. If any part or parts of the report are untrue, such mistake has unknowingly been made. General opinions: "The Sleepy Eye High School team is a very clean set of boys to play with."—(Captain D. M. L. C.) "It Is very seldom that we come across a base ball team that is so honest, upright, fair and clean as this team here. 'The umpires decision goes' that's the motto that was carried out here."—(Sleepy Eye team correspondent.) On Monday afternoon a short pro gram was delivered by combined band, quar-tette and solo voices of D. M. L. C. in the parochial sehool bouse. Monday morning at 8:45 Hy. Goede took the pictures of the band. The literary society did not meet on Saturday nigbt because most of the members who were to take part in the program were absent. The work for the D. M. L. C. Messenger will in the near future be handed to the printer. Otto Boerneke, parochial school teacher at Fairfax, was at New Ulm between trains. Saturday p. m. brought to us J.

The following students spent the short Penticost recess at home: O. Urbahn, Henry Wildung and VV. Pautz. School News Superintendent Hess went to Jackson last Thursday afternoon to speak at the graduating exercises of the rural schools of Jackson County. The exercises were held Friday morning in the Opera House at Jackson. There were 124 pnpils who bad finished the work of the rural schools and 100 of them plan to attend High School. The exercises were arranged with all the usual form and decorations of the ordinary higher school commencements and certainly such a conclusion definitely expressed of the work in the rural schools will tend to a higher standard and will increase the desire of the country girls and boys to con tinue their education. This is espec ially true there since the city schools io that county furnish courses in practical education such as agri culture and domestic science, the very advantages that the progressive element of our own city are fighting to obtain for the youth of New Ulm. After the morning exercises were completed, Superintendent Hess again spoke to a gathering composed of the school officers of Jackson Co. The parents of the graduates had come to the exercises for 25 and 30 miles and the opportunity to get all the officers of the various rural school boards together was a good one and their meeting in the afternoon was well attended. State Supt. Schulze was also present to address them. Mr. Heas spoke on "Rural School Efficiency." "Pay as you go" is an excellent maxim provided you «pay-by-eheck". It's foolish to carry money on the person, except for the smallest purchases and inci dentals, for aside from the care and inconvenience there is always the danger of theft or loss. But with a cbeck-book of this bank in your pocket the inconvenience and worry is eliminated. You write out a cheek for the exact amount of each pur chase, your cheek-stub is a record for reference and the cheek itself will Jater be returned to you by the bank and may be retained as a receipt. Some persons may think of the check account as be ing complicated. Nothing could lie more simple, however. .t We keep books for you and there is a record for your every transaction.

The High School Faculty and Miss Lovelace of the Eighth Grade were among the guests. Frappe was served and the dancing lasted until midnight. It must be pleasing to the patrons of the city schools to know that the same efficient force of teachers will be in in charge next year as at present with only two exceptions: Miss Grace Dig nin, teacher of the First Grade Union Building will not teach next year but expects to go either to some college or the University, and Miss Clara Zieske will teach at Spring Valley. Both of these young ladies hare made many friends, both in school and out, and it is with regret that their resignations were received. The teachers in charge next year will be as follows: H. C.

Programs will be rendered and the handiwork of the pupils will be on display. The last of the year's window exhibits has been shown at the '-Review" office, the one of the North Primary in charge of Miss Wiegand having been shown the past week. All year the window baa been an attractive place for the pupils from all grades, each criticising and commending the work displayed and proudly laying claim to the honor of having had something in the win dow, too. Parents tell us their chil dren have vied with each other to have their work good enuf to put on exhibit and teachers who published the honor list of spellers say it proved a great incentive to good work. Patrons of the school should encourage the chil dren to work for the reward of excel lence and it is the duty of every one who has children in theschools to view the exhibits next Friday. It counts big for good work when you show the child you are interested.

A Story You Won't Read The first thing I remember is be fore I had any legs or wings and was wiggling and squirming in a nice warm bed of horse manure where I spent my time eating and drinking the food about me. Alter a while I began to feel uncomfortable and found that I had grown too big for my skin. Relief came soon and my skin came off and I ate some more manure and enjoyed it. In a few days more my skin again got too tight, and off it came, and then I went to sleep for I don't know how long. When I awoke I was kicking and struggling out in a very dry, hard skin, and after freeing myself I found I was in the open air and had legs and wings and I looked and felt very differently than when I went to sleep. I was thirsty, so tried my wings for the first time and flew to a puddle by the manure pile and took a long drink after which I felt much better. Up to this time I had eaten nothing but manure, but soon I found out that there were other things just as good. 1 saw a lot of other flies, big and little, around a small building, not far from the manure pile, so I flew over and had a feast. It is fun to wade around in your food and find so much that you hardly know where to begin. I am afraid I am a glut ton. 1 spent quite awhile here and then flew out in the sunshine where the white clothes were hanging on a lme and walked over the napkins for a while. Wet things are very pleasant for a time, but my feet get covered with little pieces of food and things that wiggle around and tickle me so I like to wipe them off on a nice white napkin or table cloth, and then I get around better. While I was enjoying the sun I smelled the most delightful smell that had ever come to me. It came from an open win dow so I flew in. Things were smok ing on a stove and a woman was mixing up some soft white stuff on a table. There were a lot of other files about and one that was too busy eating to see his danger got rolled up in the dough and I never saw him again, so I was careful and flew in and out and got a mouthful each time. I got rid of some more man ure there for the dough was sticky and pulled it off my feet. Nearby was a bowl of milk which smelled good so flew o\er and took a drink. Here I nearly lost my life and if I had not been young and active I am sure that I would never ha/e esjajjed." Several of us were drinking afra the woman suddenly put out her hand in our direction and we all made a jump. Two got hit and fell right in the middle. She hit me too but I landed near the edge and struggled out £nd flew away but she caught the other two and pmched them and threw them on the floor and went on mixing her dough, ap parently without a thought that she had killed two of my companions. I stayed in that kitchen a long time and then went into another room where there was not so much to eat. Here I found a lot of flies and a table set. One poor fly had drowned in the ice watery it must have been awfully cold, and two or three had their feet so tangled up in the butter that they couldn't get away and the number of little germs that they had wiped off was enor mous. They were swarming on the butter but I had eaten enuf that day, and before loiig it got dark and I was tired, so went to sleep on the edge of a glass, after scraping off as much dough as I could. The edge of a glass is a very nice thing to wipe your feet on. In the morning the man and wo man and a child came in to eat, and the woman poured out a glass full of milk for the child—the glass I had slept on. I guess people like germs and manure and things just as much as I do for the baby drank all the milk. Day after day went by we spent part of our time in the house, and then we would fly to the manure pile and the little building back of it and we lived on the fat of the land. Two or three times a day we would get a whiff of that lovely smell from the kitchen and then we would have a race to see which of us could get there first. The woman would slap at us and the child chased us, but only a few got caught and we enjoyed the fun. Sometimes one got killed, but we hadn't time to be sorry long, we were so busy eating and wiping our feet and investigating things. to After some weeks of this nie flew up in the air one morning, and went into a window I had not seen before and found the child asleep on a bed. I went over and walked across his lips, and it was warm and nice, and I wiped my feet and stretch- Adolph G. Bierbram ed my wings and almost went to sleep mvself but the child rolled over so I flew over to a glass of water on a table and drank some. Pretty soon the woman came in with a man I had never seen before. They went over and looked at the child and felt him, and the man asked a lot of orestions, and the woman seemed very worried. Sne asked him what the trouble was, and he looked at the child again and then out of the win dow toward the ."table and around the room at us, and then he said something that sounded very funny e__"tvphoid fever—too many flies." What in the world did we have to do with it? However, I am only a fly. The woman didn't seem to understand, either, but after awhile she said something about screens and fly paper and then I flew out to the stable I saw some flies on fly papei once and it's no place for me. She must have forgotten about the screens, for I went in and out every day, and walked over the child and found lots to eat about him and the bed, and between this room and the kitchen and the stable we always had plenty to eat. One morning when I went into the room I couldn't find the child. He was covered up with a sheet, so I went out again. The next day some people came to I he house and a lot of carriages, and I guess they took The child away for I have never seen him since. The weather is getting cooler all the time, and I have trouble waking up in the morning and feel stiff and lazy and don't want to eat much. found closet near the kitchen and I think I will soon go in there and sleep until next spring as it is too cold outside. I don't go much farther away from the kitchen thun the garbage can on the porch and between that and the kitchen I find all I need to eat, and there is always something to wipe my feet on when they got too heavy with food—a piece of bread or cake, a plate or a fork or spoon, and I am sure nobody minds. Track Team Goes To Northheld. Next Friday, May 19th, the New Ulm High School track team will de part for Northfield to participate in the Carleton college Inter-scholastic Track Meet on Saturday, the 17th. This meet is given annually by Car leton to the high schools of the state. About twenty schools are en tered and the competition promises to be unusually keen. Track Is a new line of endeavor at the-local high school and Coach Lewis has been hampered by a lack of en thusiasm. The cold, wet spring has also been a big handicap to the run ners. In spite of the adverse sea son, however, the boys ought to give a good acount of themselves. The team is strong in the field events but rather weak in the runs. In the shot Russell is the most prom ising and has hurled the iron pill over forty feet in practice. He is also working with the hammer. Mas sapust looks like a point winner in the discus throw and slams the five pound plate pretty close to the hun dred foot mark. Hess is also show ing form in the weights. Fritsche looks good for about ten feet in the pole vault and is going to make a desperate try for the record of 10 feet 1% inches. Cordes and Bell are high jumpers, and will clear the bar at well over five feet. Vogtel and Cordes are the best bets in the dashes while Huevelmann and Joern seem to have the best claim to distance runners. About eight men will be taken to the meet and they hope to bring back some of the "tin-ware.*' Major Buschers Boomed Colonel for On May 23rd it will be 10 years since A. W. Wright of Austin assumed command of the Second Regiment. Under existing laws hia term of office expires at that time and an election will be ordered shortly to elect his successor. Col. Wright, we under stand, is a candidate for re-election and ia willing to continue as Colonel of tqe Regiment if the officers decide by their vote that he should. We are told also that some opposition has developed to his candidacy, especially among the western companies. The officers of these companies are favor ably inclined towards the selection of Major John Buschers and are urging him to enter the field. The Major, however, informs us that be is not an active candidate for the position, but that he would not feel justified in re fusing the honor if tendered him with some degree of unanimity. In pdint of service Major Buschers outranks every other officer in the Regiment. He is thoroly competent for the posi tion and his friends hope that he may be rewarded for his honest, faithful and efficient service of mora than 20 years continuously by being honored with the election of the position of commanding officer of the regiment. Do not wait until the best patterns are gone in Rugs and Wallpaper. J. H. FORSTER. Advt 10 First Shoot of Gun Club. At the first shoot of the season of the Business Men's Gun Club held at the Fair Grounds Thursday evening, Anton Bartl carried off the honors and will wear the gold medal until at some subsequent shoot some member of the club surpasses his score. Hugo Wiodhorn has the proud distinction of landing a total of 25 goose eggs, having a close second in Otto Oswald who managed to break only three clay pigeons.

While the oilers were under consideration, Dr. Vogel agreed to purchase the tower lot for 11200 which was turned1 down. Aa a further inducement the north aide agreed to indemnify the city against any and all expenses for maintenance for the next five years. This is part of the consideration and will be embodied into a binding agree ment. In addition to donating the •ite, the council appropriated out ot the city treasury the aum ot 11000 for each company. For a time there was some talk about instituting legal proceedings to test the council's rightlto expend bard cash for an armory site when a suit able site was befog offered free of charge, but it ia doubtful now if any legal steps will be taken. Altbo the "soutbsiders" lost out they feel that by their efforts, they saved the city $2,000 and are decidedly of the opinion that before many years pass the north side will realize that they are bearing the scars of a hard-fought battle.
