sary to go on. The time was not one
for shirking It was necessary to con-
tinue the board, and just as necessary
that every member should give it : his
attention. His words were listened to
closely, and we hope that they sank in
fertile ground and that in time they
will bear good fruit.
After the reports the Board got down
to business and elected the following
officers: President, VIM. Koch; Vice
president, Jacob Klcssner; Secretary,
G. W. Fl. Heidemann; Treasurer, F.
H. Behnke; Directors, Wm. Pfaender,
G. Wagner, S. .. Peterson, Ernst
Brandt, R. Pfeferle, G. L. Roos, Albert
Behnke and Peter Scherer. The ques-
ton Of establishing pottery was again
brought up and elected much favora-
BILE expression. Itsfeasibility, and its
success as a paying investment were
doubted by no one, and, to a man up a
tree, it would look like we would have
a pottery sure. Home capital is willing
to 90 in, as was demonstrated by a
subscription list, and outside capital
stands ready to render assistance. It
is only question Of time therefore,
when the industry will be assured.

BOARD OF TRADE MEETING.

The annual meeting of the New Ulm
Board of Trade was held at Turner
Hall last Friday evening with an atten-
dance, which was fair and respectable,
but which should have been much bet
ter. President Roos presided and, in
his annual report. alluded to the con-
dition OF the treasury and then reviewed
the work done by board curing the
past year. The good that has accrued
to New Ulm through its services he said,
were evident. and among the enterprises,
which were directly or Indirectly due
to the endeavors of the board. he men,
toned such Improvements rs our elec-
trio light plant, the basket factory, and
our much needed system Of waterworks.
He referred with hope TO the future and
showed wherein the board could make
it possible for the town to do more for
itself in the coming year than it has in
the present. His report was brief but
to the point.
Secretary Heidemann then followed
in a few encouraging remarks. and, in
the course of his speech, struck the
keynote, when he said that the labors of
the board had but merely commenced.
He admitted that it had accomplished
much; that what had been done, had
been .done more through its efforts
than through anything else; and that
it had succeeded in making the present
year the most successful in the history
of New Ulm; still there was much yet
to be accomplished and it was neces-

THOSE TAX JUDGMENTS. g

The editor of the Sleepy Eye Herald
in his usual and every day style, wastes
a full column of valuable space in that
most valuabze paper of his in kicking
against the county commissioners, the
attorneys, the New Ulm Review and
one of its publishers, and against New
Ulm in general, when in fact he un-
doubtedly feltmore like kicking himself,
the managers of the removal campaign,
their clerk and attorneys, the county
auditor, and about everybody in Sleepy
Eye.
But it is not the outcome of the Sc
cond attempt at removal alone that
worries him. 1t is as we'll the unwel-
come fact that at length he has to ad-
nit that those tax judgments in favor of
the county have been paid, and that too,
contrary to his predictions and his plans.
He realizes that he haslost oneof his main
removal foot holds; that something has
slipped out from in under him; and, in
order to clutch at anything that will as
sist him in misleading the voters of the
county and in keeping up the ill-feeling
against New Ulm, he intimates, that the
apportionment of the paid up taxes
will not be made until the county COM
missioners will have used up every cent
of the money in the new court house.
Now every ybody knows that the county
auditor makes that apportionment and
that without his warrants aud his or.
ders, not one nickel of those funds can
be paid by the treasurer. Every body
knows too that the board of county
commissioners has nothing whatever to
do with them. If the editor of theHerald
was not aware of this before, it will do
him no harm now to thus far increase
his general information. For ourselves
we are satisfied that the apportlonment
will be made; that the auditor will at
tend to his business promptly in this re-
spect, and that he will see that the in
terested towns and school districts re.
ceiye their just proportions in strict ac-
cordance with law.
Relating to the condition of the differ.
ent county funds, the Review has given
correct statements in former issues and
we do not deem it necessary to waste
further notice thereon.
In regard to the statement, that the
''loss of considerable sum- in the
settlement of those judgments was rdue
to the Review,w I'VE will say, that through
a typographical error, which is apt to
occur in any newspaper and especially
in the publication of complicated tax
list like the one in question, two de-
scriptions of the railroad lands. COM
prising three quarter sections, had to
be cepublished, and p separate judg-
ment ordered and entered against the
Land Company for the amount of tax
es due. This judgment was paid along
with the other two, so that the loss to
the county through the Review was on
ly in the neighborhood of $100-a small
sum, when compared with the thous-
ands, lost to the county through the
non-passage of an act in the.legislature,
prepared by Mr.. Lind and introduced
by Senator Goodrich, which was, as we
are informed, pocketed by Senator T.
E. Bowen and kept by him, until it was
too late to pass the same. Had this
act been passed. the modification of the
original judgment by the Supreme
Court would have been an impossibility.

Seal Catching Thieves.

One Of the last acts Of the late con.
gress was law enacted March to pre-.
vent seal poaching in Alaskan waters.
1t empowered the president to issue a
proclamation warning of all unauthor.
lied seal fishers in the waters Of Beh-
rings sea, subject to the jurisdiction Of
United States. The president is to en-
force his proclamation by the constant
presence in Alaskan waters Of armed
cruisers. Russia, ON her side, has al
ways protected the seal fisheries so effec.
tually that no thieves Of this kind ever
invade her waters. Perhaps now they
will find that the United States means
business too. The presidents proclama-
ton has been issued.
Some protection of this kind muet be
afforded or the seal will disappear as the
American bison and various native birds
and fishes have done already.
The United States gives to the Alaska
Fur Seal company the sole right to cap
ture seal in the Behring's waters. It is
the single instance Of a government mo-
nopoly in this country. In return the
company pays the government annually
sum sufficient to meet the interest on
the 81, zoe, 900 originally paid for Alaska.
The Alaska company are allowed to
take only 100, 900 seals a season, and those
2years old. The capture must be made
at the propagating colonies of the seals.
In this way the valuable, harmless crea-
lures are kept from determination. The
seal poachers, on the contrary, shoot the
parent animals in the open sea, leaving
the young to perish at the rookery. Un-
der this murderous system the seal would
soon be extinct and our ladies would
have no more sealskin sacques.

In considering the pros and cons Of
the proposition to raise the salaries Of
congressman several points are to be re-
membered. Congressmen's wives and
families are expected to do much larger
amount Of entertaining than they did
twenty years ago. Constituents must be
welcomed, and often housed and fed.
Balls and receptions are much more nu.
merous than they used to be. It is the
fashion of the time. When congress
mans wife withdraws from the whirl of
the Washington season and endeavors to
live plainly in the old simple fashion she
is criticised. She does nothing to "help
her husband along" it is said. Unless
she dresses handsomely she is criticised
again, even by her husbands frugal con.
stituents.

Murder or Starvation.

Minnie Lebkuechner murdered two of
her three children in New York. Her
husband had deserted her and the three
little boys. She worked rs best she could
to support them. She went out washing
and scrubbing by the day, and did the
coarse, heavy labor that was all she knew
how to do.
Charitable societies would have taken
the children and found homes for them
in the west; but Minnie had heard ter.
riblo stories of the treatment Of children
thus sent away. In her blind, ignorant
mother love she resolved that II worst
came to worst they would all die to-
gether rather than be parted.
Worst did come to worst. Her boya
were SO small that she was obliged to
take two Of them with her when she
went out to scrub. The youngest one
fell and injured himself 80 badly that
she had to stay at home and take care Of
him. Then they had nothing to eat.
Minnie cried about It. Her three chill.
tlren were starving before her eyes. The
crippled boy kept begging her not to
cry, for the dear Lord would take care
of them.
But no help came. The mothers rea-
son tottered. She obtained some poison.
The city furnished her drugs and medi-
cine. She mixed the poison in whisky
and gave 1t to the children. The young
est did not like it, and did not take
enough to kill him. Minnie had deter
mined to wait till the children were
dead, and then take the poison herself.
But the two elder ones suffered agonies
in dying. Their cries Of pain drove her
wild. She lost even her fixed purpose
After they were dead she took the young
est child, went to the police station, told
what she had done, and delivered herself
up. Her decision that murder and sui
eide were better than starvation had
been shaken by the agony Of the boys
that died. She told her story to the
court just as above narrated. The court
decided that she had been driven tempo
rarily insane by misery, and was not re-
sponsible for what she had done.

Coffee Saloons.

The coffee room, instead Of the beer
saloon, as business investment, is one
that is occupying some well deserved at
tention. It is best to look at the ques-
ton in the light Of business invest
ment and not in any sense as a charity.
The coffee room was founded originally
as an Offset to the attractions of the beer
saloon.
In Liverpool, fourteen years ago, coffee
taverns were established on business
basis at first for sailors. Cheap, good
food in abundance was provided, with a
variety Of Notwithstanding drinks. The
investment never has failed to pay 10
per cent.
But 1t is chiefly as social center that
the coffee room is q success. A place
where there are brightness, and warmth,
and merry companions, is like fountain
in the desert to the tired laborer Of an
evening. He wants some place to go
where he can be entertained. This the
coffee room furnishes. It is fitted up ar
tistically and handsomely. There is one
in Liverpool that cost CSC, 900, and it pays
dividends some years Of 10 per cent. The
same company own twenty-three other
similar houses. One company has sixty.
three such houses in Liverpool alone.
The working man has right to have a
place which is attractive, where he can
spend his evenings in cheerful conversa-
ton or social games. Reading rooms
and dramatic and lecture halls might be
added in this country. Such saloons
would pay here as they have done across
the water. They would furnish the good
without the evil. Because the saloon,
with liquor or without, furnishes their
only social life to large numbers Of our
population.
