1 JUNE SETTLEMENT SHOWS INCREASES NEARLY TWO HUNDRED THOUS AND COLLECTED BY COUNTY TREASURER. COMPLETE REPORT FORWARDED TO STATE AUDITOR IN RECORD TIME. Record time was made by County Auditor Vogel and County Treasurer Berg and their force of assistants ih getting out the annual June settlement and sending in the various apportion ments to the State Auditor. Wednes day night the treasurer received the last of the taxes and on Saturday the report was on its way to the state capitol. It has been customary in past years for the auditor of Brown county be the first to send in his report, but this year he beat his former best time by several hours. The apportionment of the moneys shows a rather large increase in the county revenue fund, amounting to $24,806.51, as against $15,938.83 last year and $16,230.24 in 1914. The state revenue fund received $22,153.30 this year as against $27,941.15 the previous year. The total amount apportioned among the state and county funds a mounted to $83,235.28, divided as follows: State revenue State school. County Revenue Co.

The amount is $5,715.87 greater than that apportioned for all the cities, villages and towns of the county put together, whose total apportionment amounted to $55,369.06 and was divided as follows: CITIES, TOWNS AND VILLAGES.

The apportionment for the New Ulm independent school district also in creased several thousand dollars over last year, the figures for the year 1914 being $17,084.75 and for last year $20,544.92.

Goshen Total $56,153.16 YOUNG CHICAGOAN RUNS AMUCK NEAR SPRINGFIELD A young fellow, giving his name as Stanley Nazimek, was picked up in North Star township last Friday, upon complaint of farmers who had seen him wandering around in the sloughs and on the fields. When approached he would invariably scream for help and run away. He was finally rounded up and brought to town for safe keeping. Saturday he was brought to the county jail and seemed less nervous after having rested up. County Attorney Frederick son came down Monday and tried to get some information out of the man as to his former whereabouts, but he did not seem to know anything about himself previous to Saturday, when he had a ride with the sheriff in an automobile. He finally thought that Chicago was his home, but in giving addresses was so mixed up that the information was con sidered worthless. He was first observed in North Star last Thursday and seems to have dropped from the clear sky, as no one can be found who saw him arrive in the vicinity. He evidently is of Polish birth or parent age, about 22 years of age and small of stature. An examination was conducted before Judge Ross Monday afternoon and the young man was conducted to the hos pital for the insane at St. Peter. MONTH'S AVERAGE TEMPERAT URE WAS WARMER Although overcoats were worn several days of the past month, the weather man insists that the month was con siderably warmer than the same month a year ago, showing figures to be 55.88 degrees this year and 53.38 degrees for May a year ago. The maximum tem perature of 89 degrees was reached on May 26 and on the second it dropped down to several degrees below freezing, the thermometer registering 28 degrees. On 18 days of the month light frosts were registered, sleet stroms thrown in on the 25th, 28th and 31st. intermingled with five thunderstorms on the 7th, 10th, 14th, 21st and 24th. May, 1915, was even more disagreeable than this year, as there was only one clear day last year and seven this year, twenty last year being wholly and ten partly cloudy as compared with an even dozen of each kind this year. Although some remarked during a recent rainstorm that there was at least a foot of water on the street, the government observer has his own ideas on the subject and reports but 4.55 inch es. Last year the precipitation for the month was 4.66. Mrs. Gottlieb Wachter and daughter, Elvira, of Fremont, Wis., are here visit ing at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. Dahms. Mr. Wachter is expected for a visit within a few weeks. Quite a number of New Ulm people are expecting to participate in the picnic to be given by the Hanska and Linden farmers' clubs, which will be held at Hanska on Thursday of this week, F. W. Johnson of this city will give the principal address, speaking on the sub ject of "Relation of City to Country."

Every Employe of M. & St. L. Road Is Asked to Assist In Saving Campaign. Employes of the Minneapolis and St. Louis railroad, from the water boy on the section to the highest official, have been asked by the company to aid in cutting down the yearly losses to the road resulting from damaged and lost freight. The employes were told that during the last fiscal year, $173,000 or 2.29 per cent of the company's gross freight revenue was paid out to satisfy claims. The men will be banded to gether in committees and divisions for the purpose of aiding the road in its fight against leakage from this source. The men are told distinctly that no information given by them involving another employe will be used against the offender since it is the desire of the company to right conditions. E. E. Kerwin, general superintendent, signed the communication. Each man is furnished with a blank which he is requested to fill out and send to the superintendent when he sees or hears of any way in which the damage item can be cut down. OFFICERS BEGIN CRUSADE Paints and Oils of Inferior Grade Picked Up By State Dairy and Food Department. A general crusade against boxcar mer chants has been started by the state dairy and food department in con fiscating a large quantity of paints and oils ready for distribution at Foley, Minn. The goods had been purchased by local farmers. Confiscation was made on the ground that the goods were not properly labled. The state tran sient merchant law will also be invoked in an effort to make the seizure legal. The department has been hot on the trail of boxcar merchants for several months and has kept them on the move. It is claimed that the goods sold from boxcars are generally of an inferior quality and, in the majority of cases, misbranded. SCHOOL BONDS PROPOSITION MEETS DEFEAT. At a special election held in the East Chain, Martin county, consolidated district Wednesday to vote on the pro position of issuing $30,000 in bonds to the State of Minnesota, the proposition was voted down, there being 55 votes against and only 11 in favor. Had the proposition been carried as submitted, the money could not have been secured for over a year, there being no funds in the state treasury available for such loans, and may not be any for such loans, and may not be any for over a year. Another special election has been called for June 15th, when the question of authorizing the board to sell $30,000 bonds in the open market will be sub mitted. Wacoma will stage a band tournament some time in July and expects the leading amateur bands of the state to partici pate. District court for Blue Earth county will open at Mankato June 12 with 90 new cases and 40 old cases on the civil calender. Thieves visited Windom a week ago and burglarized one of the clothing stores, getting away with about $50 in cash and a number of articles of wearing apparel. Mrs. Mary Heinen of Minneapolis was a visitor at the home of old friends several days of the past week. She expects to leave for Bowman, N. D., this week for an extended visit at the home of rela tives. To the great number of trails in this part of the state, including the Daniel Boone trail, the Black and Yellow trail and others has been added the M. W. A. trail, which translated means Mankato, Wells and Albert Lea. Fishermen are reporting some good catches both in the Minnesota and the Cottonwood rivers. Although the water is still high in both streams the bass are biting fine shape. As soon as the country roads are in better condition auto trips to the lakes in Waseca county will be the order of the day. Great catch es have been reported made in the lakes. Workmen engaged in digging a trench for a sewer near Front and Seventh South street last week uncovered several relics of pioneer days, among them a rusty old muzzle loader, several arrow heads and a few spear heads. As the place where the old relics were found is near the old ford across the Minnesota, they probably are part of the equipment left behind by Indians camping along the river banks. An accident to his car put Jesse Backer of this city out of the race Memorial Day in Minneapolis. He was hugging the leading car at the time of the accident and those who witnessed the race state that he had a fair chance of winning out. The accident was a blowout of the cy linder heads and happened after he had gone nearly twenty miles of the stretch at a clip of 85 miles an hour. The car will be fixed up by the manufacturers and Mr. Becker intends to enter the Fourth of July races at either Sioux City or Omaha. BLIND PIGS FLOURISH. Madelia Gets Dose of Prohibition Medicine As Result of Option Law Blind piggers seem to be flourishing in the village of Madelia which went dry with the balance of Watonwan county last year, as is evidenced by the following from the St. James Independent con cerning recent happenings: The county attorney and the sher iff have been busy at Madelia the early part of this week attending to some cases which resulted from infractions of the liquor laws. Albert Leach, who occupied bachelor quarters on a farm in Madelia township, was arraigned and entered a plea of guilty to the charge of illegal sale of intoxicants and paid a fine of $75. Edw. Hennefan, arrested on a charge of drunkeness and who was gathered in by the officers who found him along the river bank, in a state of intoxication, paid a fine and costs amounting to $22, while Wm. O'Brien, also charged with drunken ness, was unable to pay his fine and was sentenced to twenty days in the county jail at Mankato. Two other men, whose names, we are informed, are Ash and Osborne, were also arrested on a charge of drunkenness and given suspended sentences. The last two were arrested under the village ordinance, as they reside in the village. Benjamin Mutsch, also a resident of the village, was arrested on a "blind pig" charge, entered a plea of guilty and paid a fine of $50 an costs. MANAGERS PLEASED WITH "U" PROGRAM (Continued from first page.) is as genteel as playing golf provided one does not need to do it, but that one can not chop wood for his daily bread and be a gentleman. That is a beggar's philoso phy. Mr. Bigelow evidently has decided opinions upon the reliability of infor mation fed the public by the public press of the larger cities. Speaking of the yellow press he said: "The news papers are no longer newspapers they are the mere organs of interests whose chief aim is not to inform the public but to deceive the people." While the local management of Uni versity Week is perfectly satisfied with the results, members of the executive committee are of the opinion that many of the things said on the Armory stage were lost to the audience as the acoustic of the hall is not fit for public speaking or music. The vast floor space also gave the lecturer the impression of an empty house. Members of the local militia companies have started target practice on the state range near the Juni farm. The range recently was connected with a telephone so that shooters may keep in touch with the city during their practices. Cards are out announcing the marriage of Miss Hazel Adelaide Hughes and Frederick Stolz which occurred at St. Paul, yesterday, June 6th. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Hughes of Blue Earth County and the groom is a brother of Chas. A. Stolz of this city. Mr. Stolz has been one of Nicollet's successful business men for some years. The newlyweds will be at home to their friends at Nicollet after July 1st. NEW ULM PEOPLE GET INSTANT ACTION Those who have used it in New Ulm are astonished at the INSTANT action of simple buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in Adle-ri-ka. Because it acts on both lower and upper bowel, ONE SPOONFUL Adler-i-ka relieves almost ANY CASE constipation, sour stomach or gas. It removes such sur prising foul matter that a few doses often relieve or prevent appendicitis. A short treatment helps chronic stomach trouble. E. A. Pfefferle, druggist. Adv. 23 Albert D.
