THREE WESTERNERS ARRIVED
III HERE MONDAY SHORTLY
AFTERTl^P. M.
ARE MAKING GOOD HEADWAY
ON TRIP TO NATION'S
METROPOLIS.
ff-Wild Horse Sam (B. T. Mears),
Flap Jack Steel (D. M. Steel) and
Mulligan Pete (H. E. Leslie), the three
cowboys from Jackson Hole, Wyoming,
who are riding horseback from that
Western country to New York City,
where they are scheduled to arrive
on or before January 1, 1922, pulled
up rein in New Ulm shortly after 1
o'clock, Monday afternoon, about
an hour behind scheduled time.
Given Royal Welcome.
Miss Mildred Eibner acted as New
Ulm's welcoming committee, having
ridden out to meet the visitors. She
rode into town with them and escorted
the cowboys to Philip Filzen's livery
stable, where their horses were pro
vided for. After putting up their
mounts, the trio, guided by Miss
Eibner, was accompanied to the
Dakota House, where a sumptuous
dinner awaited them. After partaking
of a hearty meal, the Westerners were
introduced to President A. L. Boock
of the New Ulm Commercial Club, and
to Mayor L. A. Fritsche. The latter,
in a few hearty words, bid the travelers
welcome to our fair city. After chatt
ing with our townspeople for a few
hours and giving the Review printery
the once over, the cowboys rode to
Courtland, where they ate supper and
looked after the comfort of their
steeds. Herman Polkow, chairman
ot the county commissioners, who had
bid the visitors welcome at Spring
field, Sleepy Eye and other places along
their route, also assisted in extending
them a glad hand here, introducing the
boys to people along Minnesota
street. Mr. Polkow drove to Court
land in his car after supper andjjrought,
the Westerners back to this city, where
they spent several enjoyable hours.
See Many New Things.
During their brief visit injpur print
ing plant, the three cowpunchers
marveled at the big Du^X printing
press and the intricate' it does.
They could not quite figure out how
the paper is taken from a huge roll,
fed through the press, printed and
folded at the rate of 4,000 copies an
hour.
Flap Jack Steel informed us that he
had seen the first railroad train and
witnessed the first airplane flight in his
life while attending the Park County
Fair at Cody, Wyoming, on their
present trip. Prior to that time he
had not seen either of these modern
vehicles of travel. He was born and
reared in Jackson Hole and never at
tended school a day in his fife, so that
he is unable to read or write. In spite
of this handicap, he is an expert at
drawing cattle and horse brands and
demonstrated his skill in this respect
on the Review scribe's note book.
Flap Jack owns 800 head of cattle''jand
is one of the foremost residents Of
Jackson Hole. His ranch is known as
the "Hat S" ranch, his cattle brand
being a sombrero with the letter "S"
beneath it. \. -.-r -.'-'-'
Roosevelt's Body Guard.
Both Wild Horse Sam and Flap,
Jack Steel acted in the capacity 6f
body guards for the late Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt during the latter'^
visit in Yellowstone Park and vicinity
in 1913. They have niet a number of
governors' also, but' it remained for
New Ulm to give them, as well as MuM
ligan Pete, their first opportunity to,
meet up with a "sky pilot."
Minnesota Makes Hit.
The Westerners stated that theyi
had been most agreeably surprised at
the treatment accorded them in Minne
sota. They had been told, farther
west, that the people of our state
would be lacking in the warmth of
their welcome, but this was decidedly
not the case. They were reluctant
to leave Brown county, as the people
in Springfield, Sleepy Eye and New
Ulm were very hospitable. In part
ing, they gave assurances that they
would stop off here for a few days
enroute home from New York City
next spring. ". $ 4
To Get $6,000.
The cowboys are riding horseback
from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to New
York City, a distance of about 2,750
miles, on a wager with the Commercial
Club at Jackson, the largest incorporat-j
ed community in Jackson Hole. If!
they arrive in the nation's metropolis!
on or before January 1, 1922, each of
the three men will receive $2,000. The

It was a costly bag of game.that.the"
•party wh,o drove to Cambria in the'
gchu'eller' Mitchell recently bagged.
Or maybe, they didn't even get/ any
game", but that is another story. The
hunters were Leo and Joseph Schueller,
Tony Ochs and young Wm. Julius.
The boys had left the car parked while
tramping about on foot. The car was
left with the curtains up and the extra
coats of the hunters were left piled in
the back seat. On glancing toward the
car after they had been away from it
for some time, the boys saw a cloud
of smoke and by the time they
reached the machine practically every
thing in it had been reduced to refuse.
The fire must have started from a
cigaret carelessly dropped among the
clothing in the-"back' seat as there it
was that the most damage was done.
It was impossible to extinguish the
flames and practically everything about
the car that would burn was destroyed.
The loss to the car is covered by in
surance.

IN MINNESOTA
31.1 PER CENT OF RESIDENTS

,' SAYS CENSUS. & 2
T" ,i '*H
SCHOOLS.
314, 905 PUPILS IN
34,487 ILLITERATES IN
COMMpNWEALTH.
That the grand old state of Minne
sota is not afflicted with race suicide is
evidenced by a report of the Depart
ment of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census, at Washington, D.C relative
to the number of children found in our
commonwealth by the census enumer
ators last year. This is, indeed, very,
gratifying and proves that Minnesota
is doing, her share toward increasing
the population of the United States*
31.1 Per Cent Under 15.
According to the census of 1920, 31.1
per cent, ot over three-tenths of the
people in Minnesota are either infants
or children under 15 years of age 9.2
per cent are young people, 15 to lj)
years-old 38.8 per cent are men and
women in the prime of life, being from
20 to 44 years old, while 20.8 per cent,
being 45 years of age and over, are
well along in middle life, if they have
not reached old age.
More Children on Farms.
The urban population, as compared
with the rural shows some rather
striking differences in age, the per
centage 20 to 44 years of age being
43.7 for the urban population, as com
pared with 34.9 for the rural, while
the percentage under 15 years of age
is only 25.8 in the urban population,
as against 34.6 in the rural. These
differences may indicate larger families
of children in the country than in the
city, but more probably indicate also
the effect of the immigration to the
city of foreigners and also of native
population coming from the country
and thereby increasing the active adult
population of the cities at the expense
J^&l&jnK&l djstricts.
ik d&ftwly TKreeiFIf thlrCah Vo
Almost three-fifths of-the population
of Minnesota*—57.8 per cent, to be
exact—-are old enough to vote, being
21or over. In this class, the men out
number the women in the ratio of 114
to 100. The males'of military age—
18 to 44—constitute 42»3 per cent of
the male population and 22.1 per cent
of the total population.
School Attendance High.""
The 1920 census gives Minnesota
335,458 children from 7 to 13 years of.
age. Of this number, 314,305, or
93.9 per cent, were reported as attend
ing school. In 1910 the percentage at
tending school was exactly 93 per cent,
thus indicating a slight improvement,
as regards school attendance between
i910.ahd 1920. Of the children 14
and 15 years of age in 1920, 86.2 per
cent were attending school, and of,
those 16 and 17 years the percentage
•was 42.5.' "'.
The percentage of children attending!
school was approximately the same int
the cities and in the country districts,'1
the percentage for children in the
urban population 7 to 13 years of age,
being 94:5 Awhile in the rural popula
tion it was 93.5. Urban according to
the census definition/includes all towns
or cities and other incorporated places
of 2,500 population or mofe.
34,487 Illiterates
The censui: enumerators found a
total of 34,487 illiterate persons 10
years of age land over in Minnesota In
1920* illiterate meaning' unable to
write. Of this total, 26,242 are foreign
born whites. In the total population
10' years ol age ^tnd over, the per
centage of illiteracy is 1.8, which, it is
gratifying to note, shows a decrease
since 1910, When it was exactly 3 per
cent. For the foreign-born whites the
•percentage is 6.4A'"
«WBy counties, the percentage of illiter
acy ranges from 7.6 in Itasca county*
to 0.3 in Bie Stone county.

Lewis Harthill, former chief of
police of Minneapolis, will give an
illustrated lecture" at" Turner "Hall in
New Ulm this (Wednesday)" even
ing, dealing with vice," crime, dope
fiends and similar depraVed con
ditions as they exist in the large
cities. He will appear here under
the auspices of New„ Ulm' Central
Labor Union.}, **$ -f$ \*w
%LA Personal Investigations.
Mr. Harthill has been given na
tion-wide attention by the largest
police papers in the country \on his
study of vice and crime, as he made
one of the most thorough investiga
tions and study of these subjects
that has ever been made by any
police department in a, metropolitan
city, and every subject is illustrated
with highly colored pictures, all
taken under his personal supervision
while he was chief of police of
Minneapolis. Every picture shown
is true and original. ., !V
•!.y~$A Detailed Exposure. ,^
The lecture^ deals with the or
ganizing of a metropolitan police
department old and new methods
of handling criminals old and new
methods of criminal identification
(showing how criminals are meas
ured under the Bertillon system,
also how finger-prints are taken,
throwing them on the screen and
reading them as the finger-print
experts do under the microscope in
the police department) how these
identification systems are used tp
identify criminals, showing the ad
vancemelTt criminology has made in
the past 50 ^years. Mr. Harthill
also exposes the depraved vice of
opium smoking, explaining the differ
ent kinds of opium, showing various
kinds of layouts, using all the
Chinese phrases and explaining the
superstitions connected with this
vice, also demonstrating the effect
it has on the human system.
Dope Fiends and Crime.
&•
f^A part of Mr. Harthill's lecture
is devoted to dope fiends and how
the use of drugs drives boys into a
life of crime, showing different kinds
of dope outfits, pictures of dope
fiends', explaining how, when
become slaves to the use of drugs,
they suffer all the' tortures and
agonies of helll'' He also exposes
prostitution, demonstrating who pro-
jt
^.The fomer Minneapolis police chief
was given nation-wide attention by
the largest police papers in the
country on Jus campaign for the
prevention of crimes against children,
making the police department re
sponsible for throwing the-cloak of
protection around the children while
they were on the streest."^ -^rt
The lecture has a neyer-to-be^for-,
gotten moral, in that it shows that,
when people fall into a life of crime,
they eventually are caught and pay
either by going to the pentitentiary,
or with their lives. This is all
vividly brought before the eye by,
highly colored pictures. Another im
portant feature of Mr. Harthill's
lecture |s his detailed explanation of
the great economic situation, show
ing, the relationship between the law
enforcement departments and the'
struggles of the common people.

Mr. Harthill's lecture is illustrated
witn 160 highly" colored pictures',
every one original and true, not one'

p^After supper had been served, the
gathering repaired to the church,
where Prof. Pieper delivered a highly
interesting lecture on present-day con
ditions in Germany in general, and es
pecially as they affect religion. After
drawing a «vivid word-picture of the
terrible suffering rampant throughout
that country, and especially in the
large population centers, which he had
occasion tp witness upon the occasion
of a recent visit there, Prof. Pieper
stated that most of this suffering is the
result of the decadence of Christiarity
and religion there. His dessertations
were very enlightening and were fol
lowed with great interest by the large fy
throng which' completely filled the
spacious' church' auditoriumi' The
morning and afternoon functions were
