KILOWATT HOUR MYSTERY TO MOST PEOPLE. (Continued from first page.) watt takes its name from James Watts the famous physicist. Here area few things a kilowatt of electricity will do: It will operate a sewing machine for 21 hours. It will run a clock correctly for ten years. It will light 3,000 cigars. It will warm enough water for shaving purposes every morning forthirty days. It will heat a curling iron three minutes every day in the year, Sunday included. It will heat the bedroom for an hour in the winter, or keep the room cool for 21 hours in the summer if a small ven tilating fan is used. It will propel an electric automobile three miles and knead eight sacks of flour into dough, or operate an electric piano for 10 hours. It will light an old 16 candle power Edison lamp for 15 hours. Or a 25-watt Tungsten lamp for 40 hours, 40-watt lamp for 25 hours, or a 60-watt lamp for 16 hours. It will run a 6-inch electric fan for 25 hours. The energy produced by kilowatt hour of electricity running through a motor will raise 22 tons of coal 60 feet in one hour. That is more than the biggest horse found in the Scotch mines could do when James Watt tried to measure the strength of one horse. The big horse Watt used raised 16 1-2 tons of coal 60 feet in one hour. The efforts of this famous horse are known as one horse power, and this standard is used in measuring the power of engines. An electric meteris used in determining when one kilowat hour of current has been consumed. As electricity runs through the meter, a little disk inside turns around just as a water wheel turns around when a stream of water runs through it and strikes the paddles. After a thousand watts have run through the meter the dial at the front registers one kilowatt hour. LITERARY PROGRAM FRIDAY NIGHT. The Athena-Thalian literary program will be given at the high school audi torium this coming Friday evening. This is one of the series of competitive literary programs which have been given every month during the school year. The public is always cordially invited +,o attend, the programs being given on Friday nights so that a larger number of the patrons of the school may be able to attend. The program will consist of the fol lowing: Two extempore speeches by Eleanor Frey and Jeanette Bartl, ora torical selections by Max Burg and Bernard Poehler declamatory selections by Ellen Ochs and Agnes Bastian and a debate on the question of the initiative and referendum in Minnesota. The members of the debate team are Edwin Coufal and Hilarius Berg for the affir mative and Herbert Mclvor and Roman Penkert for the negative. The ubi quitous girls' glee club will grace the obsequies with several musical selections. MANKATO HUNTERS SUFFER FIRE LOSS. Fire destroyed one of the prettiest hunters' retreats at Swan Lake Tuesday of last week, when the lodge owned by the Mankato Hunters' Club, four miles north of Courtland burned to the ground. The building and contents were totally destroyed, entailing a loss of several thousand dollars. No in surance could be carried on the building, because it was not occupied during the winter months. The lodge was located near the Martin Gieseke farm and the fire was discovered by Mrs. Gieseke. Neighbors tried to check the flames, but failed. The lodge contained eleven hunting boats and equipment, four double beds, two single cots, a large number of decoys, complete cooking outfit, and other furnishings. It is not known how the fire originated, but it may have been accidentally set by someone around the premises, either out side or inside of the building. INSURANCE POLICIES TO COVER ENTIRE FAMILY. Heads of fraternal insurance com panies doing business in the State of Minnesota are proposing a plan of in suring an entire family instead of limit ing the policies to the members of an organization. Just how the scheme will eventually work out is problematical, but it seems to have made favorable im pression with State Insurance Commis sioner Works, to whom the plan was presented recently.. Twenty fraternal societies doing busi ness in the state have joined in proposing the scheme and it will be taken up at the meeting of the various state commission ers at St. Louis, Mo., this month. The insurance officers also wish to have the question determined whether they should value their securities on the book value or on the market value found on a certain date. OBITUARY CHAS. SCHLIEF. At his home near the Hauenstein brewery Charles Schlief passed away Tuesday evening of last week after a lingering illness of nearly five months, having been a sufferer from cancer of the stomach for that length of time. Deceased was born July 16, 1847, in Prussia, Germany, and came to this country with his parents when a boy nine years of age. The family settled in the vicinity of Fond du Lac, Wis., but Mr. Schleif came farther west when still a young man, at first residing on a farm near Essig and later in Mulligan town ship. It was while he was living at Essig that he was married to Miss Minnie Buehlow of this city, who preceded him in death nearly twenty years ago. His second wife who/ now survives him, formerly was Miss Mary Hartneck of this city. The family left the Mulligan farm about seventeen years ago and moved to New Ulm where they have since resided. Besides the widow the deceased leaves four daughters and eight sons, all children of the first wife: Mrs. Emil Diedrich, Granite Falls Frank Schleif, New Ulm Chas. Schleif, Mulli gan Mrs. Wm. Schumacher, Sleepy Eye Wm. Schleif, Mulligan Art Schleif, New Ulm Adolph Schleif, Mulligan Mrs. Alb. Mo, Montana Elmer Schleif, Mul ligan Mrs. Fritz Krueger, Comfrey Emil Schleif, North Dakota and Eli Schleif, Villard, Minn. The remains were shipped to Sleepy Eye Friday afternoon and funeral services were held there in the afternoon. In terment was made in the Sleepy Eye cemetery in the family plot. E. P. SCHMITZ The death of E. P. Schmitz, which occurred at Mankato last Wednesday afternoon came as a shock to the people of Brown county, as the Sleepy Eye banker had always been the picture of health. Hardly sick a day in his life, death came as a thunderclap out of an azure sky. He suffered an attack of appendicitis on Monday and Wednesday morning left for Mankato to be operated upon. Arriving at the hospital his con dition became rapidly worse and re passed away at 12:45. Edward Peter Schmitz was a product of Brown county. He was born No vember 13, 1869 on a farm in the town of Home. He received his education in the rural schools of the township, supplemented by a course in the Newevening's Ulm high school. He successfully passed the teachers' examination and for the next 21 years followed that vocation, teaching for eleven consecutive years in the district he had attended when a boy. Four years ago he decided to enter the banking business and was chosen as sistant cashier of the State Bank of Sleepy Eye, which position he held at the time of his death. June 21, 1903crime Mr. Schmitz was married to Miss Lucy Steffen, who with six young children now survives him. His loss is also mourned by his aged parents, Mr. andscene Mrs. N. J. Schmitz, three sisters and three brothers: Jacob, a farmer of North Star township George, cashier of the First National Bank of Wells John, a farmer of Home township Mrs. George Flaig of Sanborn and Barbara and Mary Schmitz, still living at home. In public life the deceased always has taken an active interest in the affairs of his home town and county. His popu larity was proven a few years ago when he made a campaign for county auditor and came close to being elected. He held several positions of trust and honor in Sleepy Eye and was regarded as one of that town's leading citizens. The deceased was a member of the Knights of Columbus, Catholic Order of Foresters, St. John's society and Sleepy Eye Labor society. Funeral services were held at St. Mary's Catholic church of Sleepy Eye Monday morning at 9:30 o'clock and were largely attended, a big delegation going up from New Ulm. Interment was made in the Catholic cemetery of Sleepy Eye. NICOLLET SCHOOL DISTRICTS CONSOLIDATE. At the school election Tuesday of last week at Nicollet the three rural districts decided to consolidate with the Nicollet village district, the vote being 72 to 44. Under the law the Nicollet village dis trict was not permitted to participate in the election, but the voters of that village will have an opportunity to vote upon the proposition of issuing bonds for the erection of a new modern high school building. According to the advocates of a new high school, a building costing approxi mately $35,000 will be erected at some point conveniently located for the resi dents of the three rural districts. The present school site probably will be chosen. The election last week was quite an event for Nicollet as every farmer for miles around was in the city to express himself not only by vote but also by voice. The election passed off without more than hot arguments, however, and when the result was made known the Germania band turned out and gave a concert. WAR CORRESPONDENT PICTURES TO BE SHOWN, ,^V-L?§s ,v ,/, A "distinct treat is "in store for the people of this city as the result of ar rangements made with E, J. D, Larson, European war correspondent of the Minneapolis Tribune, recently returned from the front. Mr. Larson has been engaged to come here Thursday, April 6th, with his large set of pictures and his lecture depicting modern warfare. Mr. Larson has toured several North western states the past winter under the direction of the International Lyceum Bureau of Chicago, and everywhere, it is declared, the keenest satisfaction has been expressed for the amount of new light cast on the latter-day forms of hostilities, little dreamed-of by American minds before. The Minneapolis newspaperman was one of exceedingly few persons per mitted to go to the first-line trenches in the western arena, and he is the first correspondent to bring first-hand infor mation to this city of what is really going on "somewhere in France." Mr. Larson is not a stranger-in New Ulm, as he enjoys the acquaintance of members of the local militia companies, who met him at Camp Lakeview several years ago. SOPHOMORE GIRLS HONOR APRIL FIRST. By the clever use of successive "sur prise climaxes" the members of the Sophomore Girls' basketball team made their Prima Aprilis party a delightful entertainment. The hilarity began when each of the faculty members present were in turn offered the thrdvv. which combined in its construction all the uncertainties of April weather. All modestly declined until Mr. Hutson, re splendent in a new Shart, Maffner and Harx Creation, offered himself as the sacrifice. Contrary to the expectations of all, nothing happened. Mr. Hutson was then voted a contemporary in from among the members cf the feline sex, but with insidious cunning he insisted that Mr. Kierzek occupy the fated chair with him. After the throne the guests were asked to hunt for peanuts about the room which unfortu nately were absent. A candy making contest turned out to be another hoax. Mr. Hess' literary ability in locating a quotation from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" was rewarded with the privilege of wearing a dunce's cap throughout the evening. A baby-guessing contest created quite a sensation. It was won by Roy Fenske, who was awarded a rattle as a prize. The feature of the evening, however, was the near-banquet which was served in the beautifully decorated mechanical drawing apartments. Colored waitress es first brought in the salad. 'This was followed by a course of ice-cream, made in Germany since the war started. As its chief ingredient was ordinary cotton, however, it was a diet more conducive to reckless attacks upon the fortifications of Verdun than the equally impregnable geometry propositions. The last course consisted of a glass of water. The floral decorations were then collected and pre sented to Miss Schroeder as a birthday tribute. After a touching little song by Mr. Hutson on the subject of spring weather, the girls sang "God Save the Queen" as a signal to rise. The entertainment of the evening was altogether out of the ordinary. The Sophomore girls are to be complimented on the success of their first venture into the brilliant social season of the high school. TRACK TEAM HARD AT WORK. In spite of the efforts of the weather man to make this a near imitation of mid-winter, the high school track team blossoms out on the campus in the full glory of peek-a-boo waists and ab breviated knickerbockers daily at 4:00 P. M. after the last Geometry student has made his duplex recitation. The team expects to attend the three state tournaments at Carleton, Hamline and the State University. Dual meets with some of the schools in this district may also be arranged. An interclass meet will be held as soon as the weather warms up in order to pick the school team. At present little can be said of the abilities of the respective candidates, although Durbahn, Schleuder, Nagel, Olson and Alwin have all been doing good work in early season form. LEGAL NOTICES.

Give plenty of opportunity for the plant to grow. Small plants may be set from two to three feet apart. Licla, mock orange, etc., should not be set closer than seven or eight feet in good soil. They will then spread so as to just touch each other in five or six years. NEW ULM Judge of Probate. Within »ta ss. l. In Probate Court ,-%?£*. f\B. L. A.
