Wednesday, Septembei 2, 1903.
It is questionable whether the public
twthg of 8t, Paul even got honorable
•mention out of the Carnival held there.
There is a wide difference between
conceit and sarcasm but it isn't ex
pected that every old granny will dis
cover it.
With the return of high prices for
threshing farmers in various places
are speculating on forming companies
and buying machines. It is a poor in
vestment at best and a good thing to
keep out of.
Bro. Leisch is so profuse in the use
of refined English that we hasten to
tender him apologies lest he should
forget himself in his confusion, and
say something for which the craft
would have to blush. A man will
stoop to most anything when cornered.
It is certain to be demonstrated this
year, as it has been in all years past,
that the man who holds his wheat for
a raise above seventy-five or eighty
cents usually holds for a loss. If a
man can realize on his crop at the
above figures he is getting well paid
for his work, if he isn't there is some
thing wrong with his farming.
A peculiar local interest seems to
have attached to the yacht races just
closed and much pride has shown
itself in the fact that the cup is to re
main in this country, showing that the
glory of Americans is in the prowess
of their own countrymen and the
achievements of their own ends. For
fifty-two years the United State has
held the trophy, which was the gift of
Queen Victoria.
The great Minnesota State fair, than
which there is none better, is now open
to the people of the state and from all
indications they are not slow in taking
advantage of the show. There is more
real good to be got out of the cost of
a trip to the fair than the same amount
of money can purchase of amusement
and instruction at any other place,
and every farmer should find time to
spend at least one day where he can
see what his fellow farmers from all
over the state are doing in the line of
producing what other people con
sume.
On the 8th of Sept. at Chicago there
is to be a mammoth convention of
farmers, dairymen and fruit growers
and the purpose is to form a gigantic
trust for the disposal of their products
and arranging to purchase their neces
siries without intervention of the
middlemen. It is a vast and unwieldly
conception and will hardly bear fruit.
But it demonstrates the fact that that
class of people begin to realize that
some measures must be taken to meet
the outside combinations. It is a
distant socialistic note that is borne
on the winds of a discontentment which
at some distant day will result in a
marked change for all classes.
Gradually people are beginning to
realize that the only substantial way
to help a worthy public enterprise is
to give money without having it go
through the straining prosess of pub
lic benefits. The St. Paul Carnival
was the best illustration of this. The
various lecture course and entertain
ments given in this city are others.
Fifty dollars cash without the bother
of an entertainment is far better than
$1.50 with it, and the business men
who offered to give $50 or $100 to the
St. Paul baths if they could be ex
cused from taking part in the carnival
were wise and probably the next time
will be taken at their word.
The Brown County Agricultural So
ciety, which has as good grounds as
any county fair association in the state,
iscompelled to abandon them this year,
as it did last, because of the expense
in repairs and the fact that prepara
tions for the fair were begun too late
in the season to secure necessary at
tractions. The fair, however, which
will be held in Union hall, promises
well, and will be worth all it costs to
see it. It is hoped that the manage
ment another year will begin early
enough to put on a good, attractive
fair—something in whichthe people can
take pride. If this is done a fair
can be built up that will be second to
none.
The effort that New Ulm is making
to pay a visit to Sleepy Eye shows
how difficult it is for the people or this
city to arrange anything of that kind.
In the first place some person has to
guarantee the railroad enough fares
to cover the expense of the special
train, which must be secured, as the
regular trains run at such hours as to
require a person to stay all night and
most of the next day to be present at
an evening performance. The fact that
so many have shown a desire to be
reciprocal in the matter of friendship
shows that the hearts of the people of
New Ulm are in the right place and
all this cry of jealoosy is about as the
devil said of the pig "much squeal and
little wool."

Wisconsin Professor Proposed.
At the meeting of the board of man
agers of Dr. Martin Luther college,
held last Thursday afternoon, the
name of Prof. John Meyer of Water
town, Wis., was proposed for the
chair of Latin and Greek in the local
seminary. Prof. Meyer is now a mem
ber of the faculty of Northwestern
University of Watertown, and is re
garded as one of the foremost educa
tionalists in the state of Wisconsin.
He is an able scholar and the board
of managers are extremely fortunate
in being able to secure his services.
Time will now be given for the con
gregations in this synod to propose
candidates for the vacant professor
ship but it is not believed that there
will be any opposition to Prof. Meyer.
He will be formally elected early in
November and will come to New Ulm
within a short time thereafter.
Want Views of Chief.
Chief Adolph Klause is in receipt of
a communication from Frank H. Ran
dall, superintendent of the Minnesota
State reformatory at St. Cloud, in
which the prison manager asks for the
officer's opinions regarding the proper
disposition of the tramp problem. Mr.
Randall explains that he is the chair
man of the committee on preventive
and reformatory work and says that
he desires to submit a comprehensive
report at the meeting of the National
Prison Congress, to be held in Louis
ville, Ky., in October. Chief Klause
wrote to Mr. Randall yesterday setting
forth his ideas, as gained by experi
ence, upon the methods which might
be adopted in dealing with the class
of men who roam aimlessly about the
country.
Hobo His Assailant.
Chas. Hofer of this city, received an
ugly beating at the hands of a tramp
Monday morning. Hofer has been
working at Essig and on Monday he
went into the saloon at that place. A
hobo in the place asked him to have a
drink and when the glasses had been
emptied he invited the tramp to drink
a second. Then, without warning or
provocation, the tourist turned upon
him and struck him the empty
glass,inflictingtwobad gashes and two
smaller cuts between his right eye and
ear. In the confusion which followed
the tramp made his escape and at last
accounts the village marshal had failed
to effect his capture. Dr. O. C. Strick
ler was summoned and dressed Hofer's
wounds.
Roads Will Boost Rates.
Freight rates upon flour between
Minneapolis and Chicago are to be
increased 2 cents per hundred pounds
on October 1st. This is the edict which
has been issued by the roads operat
ing between the cities mentioned and
it amounts to a restoration of the tar
iffs formerly in force. Several months
ago the millers in the Flour City made
a stiff protest against the excessive
rates and a readjustment was effected.
Charges have since been based upon
the schedule adopted at that time but
the carriers announce that they pur
pose returning to the old rates. It is
not known as yet whether the new
scale will affect the New Ulm mills
and those of Southern Minnesota.
Are First on This Division.
Automatic alarm bells were installed
by the Chicago & Northwestern last
week at the First and Third South
street crossings. The bells are mount
ed upon high posts and their purpose
is to warn teams and pedestrians that
the gates are about to descend. Here
tofore the gates have been let down
without warning of any kind and there
has been danger of catching people be
neath them or between them and the
tracks. The gongs are connected with
the tower and are operated with air,
striking thrice for each stroke of the
air pump, and the watchman rings
them as he lowers the gates. They are
the first to be put in on the Northwes
tern west of Winona.
Angry Feline Inflicts Wound.
Mrs. R. G. Mueller received a se
vere wound in a curious manner Sat.
urday noon. She had arranged to
give one of her pet-cats to an acquaint
ance but the feline did not take kindly
to the idea. As he was being placed
in a bag he suddenly turned upon Mrs.
Mueller %nd sank his teeth into her
left hand. The bite was very painful
and within a short time inflammation
set in, the hand and arm becoming
greatly swollen. For a time it was
feared that tetanus might develop but
Dr. Jos. H. Vogel, who has the case,
states that there is little danger of this
complication.

DRYIN6 ROOM IS NEEDED
Coopers Will Steam-Dry Staves
and Avoid Delays.
Eagle Mill Management Gets Plans
For a Drying Room,
High Price of Wheat Interferes
With Minnesota Millers.
Plans are being considered by the
management of the Eagle Roller Mill
company for improving the coopering
facilities at the plant. In the past the
company has manufactured its flour
barrels from air-dried staves but just
now coopers' lumber is scarce and
stock of that sort cannot be procured
fast enough to supply the demand.
To overcome the difficulty the local
millers contemplate erecting a drying
kiln and to have steam do the work of
nature.
Monday morning R. T. Doud of
Winona, was in the city conferring
with the Messrs. Silverson in regard
to the matter. Mr. Doud is one of the
largest coopers in the Northwest. He
supplies barrels for the Sleepy Eye
Milling company and various other
concerns and also handles coopering
machinery, his company making a
specialty of the business.
At this place he would build a dry
ing kiln near the .present cooper shop,
obtaining steam from pipes leading to
the boiler rooms. Certain changes
would be made in the electric plant at
the mill and a motor installed in the
room to propel a fan. While here he
was engaged by the Eagle people to
draw plans for the kiln and one will
be put in this fall.
Millers in this section of the country
are having some difficulty in dispos
ing of their wares at present. In Kan
sas, Oklahoma and the Southwestern
states an enormous wheat crop has
just been threshed and grain in that
belt is as much as 15 cents per bushel
cheaper than in Minnesota. Thus the
northern mills are placed at a big dis
advantage and while many of their
down-country competitors are being
worked to their full capacities to sup
ply orders, numbers of the plants
about here have been compelled to
shut down for the reason that they
cannot find a market for their pro
ducts.
In spite of this condition of affairs,
however, the Eagle mill has received
orders for several large European
shipments. One consignment of 5,000
barrels will go to London and two
others of 1,000 barrels each are to be
billed for Belfast and Bristol. These
will be filled as soon as the mill re
sumes operation this week, it having
closed down, temporarily Sunday
morning. ,.*
Labor Day Exercises.
The committee having in charge the
arrangements for the Labor Day
observance have about completed their
preparations. They plan to have the
procession move promptly at o'clock
and it will be composed of the Con
cordia band, Harmony Camp, M. W.
A., the Arbeiter Verein and such
bodies of workmen as may be able to
participate. After marching through
the streets the parade will make its
way to Hermann's Heights, where the
assemblage is to be addressed in both
German and English, Prof. Ed. Bosky
speaking in his mother tongue and A.
J. Alwin in English. Other speakers
may take part, as it is intended to
have all labor questions open to dis
cussion, and when they have finished
there will be a picnic lasting the. re
mainder of the afternoon.

WOULD ABOLISH WAR
trsiveraal Peace Union, at doalnff
Session, Adopts Resolution
Looking to That End.
Mystic, Conn., Aug. 31.—The Univer
sal Peace union at its closing session
Saturday adopted a series of resolutions,
or "convictions." The preamble says
that with all the encouragement on the
demand for peace "we are still confront
ed with obligations resting upon peace
societies and all advocates of peace to
remove the causes and abolish the cus
tom of war
A peace conference to be called by the
president every four years, looking to
the prevention of war, is favored The
closing conviction is that this country
and England, "which by force of arms
have conquered weaker nations, should
made reparation by the introduction of
the best of their institutions and the
gifts of liberty and independence."
The union recommends an appeal to
all nations to set aside by legislation at
least one per cent, of their annual ap
propriations for a permanent peace fund
to be expended under direction of The

United States to Make Wo Move for
the Present Regarding
Isthmus Canal.
Washington, Aug. 31.—ft may bt
stated authoritatively that for the pre*
ent this government will take no action
regarding an isthmian canal. The
Spooner law prescribes a course for th«
president to pursue, which is to con
struct the canal by the Nicaragua route
in case satisfactory terms cannot be
made with the Colombian government
But as the law did not specify a time
when the alternative route should b«
selected, the president will not be hur
ried in deciding when negotiations shal]
be opened for that route And while
the matter is thus held in abeyance
nothing will be done.

ings made in the general shoot out of
a possible 50 birds and also upon
separate handicaps of 25, 15 and 10
birds each. The list of winners with

ISSUE HARDLY IN DQUBT
Catholic Church Should Win
Piano With Ease.
Dyer
With but a few days remaining btfore
the Dyer piano closes, victory is practi
cally conceded to the Catholic church.
Since overcoming the lead of the Metho
dist church they have steadily increased
their advantage aod are now in the van
by 17,230 votes. Unless their competi
tors have a very considerable amount of
re3erve ammunition, they should have
no difficulty in winning with ease and
will carry off the consolation prize.
The contest will close promptly at 1

and AnditofVogel will announce the re
suit as soon after that hour as possible.
Of late interest in the race between the
two leading contestants has not been
very keen and it will be a relief to the
merchants interested when the instrument
is awarded. The count last week gave
tl following standings:
