EDITOR OF REVIEW!
The article signed s'Veritas in the last
issue of the Sleepy Eye Herald is anus
ing as well as ridiculous. The writer
does not seem to have any good and
sufficient reason why the bonds shall
not be issued, so dishes up such nonsen-
steal stuff as adding the interest for
series of years to the principal sum
and after adding the $4,000 which
Sleepy Eye Says she suslz gsve calls this
the cost of the building. To add inter-
est on investment to original cost, one
might as well take the case of his own
residence and doethe same, not allow
ing anything for the item of rent or for
use OF it during the time. The interest
on the bonds have nothing whatever to
do with the cost of the Court House.
The actual ecost of course is simply the
contract price for constructing it. The
interest on the investment together with
cost of insurance and repairs are bal
anced by the use of the building. The
use of a piece of property by its owner
certainly should be taken into account
as much as though it was rented to an
outside party. It is worth to the owner,
just what it would rent for, or what he
would have to pay for the rent of it,
If buy a piece Of property and do not
occupy it nor rent it, certainly the in
terest and taxes must be added to origi-
nal cost, but if I occupy it, the case is
entirely different. Some of our farmers
would Gin their mind) have quite valu-
able farms if they add, say rs years in
terest to the purchase price of same.
And then "Veritas'' adds the $50, 900,
which Sleepy Eye has not yet given
(and never willy which reminds me OF
the story Of the Indiana farmer, who
said he had lost $4,000 during the past
year. When asked how, he answered by
saying ''not having hogs enough to eat
all the acorns that have dropped from
the trees on my land.'' The bonds can
be readily disposed of at par drawing
five (5) per cent interest, which is from
three to five per cent cheaper than any
individual tax payers can get the money
on his note. In other words if the
bonds are defeated, the Court House
will be build and paid for within the
next five years with money that is
worth to the tax payers from eight (8)
to ten Q0O per cent. I am at loss to
understand why anyone should write an
article on this subject under an assumed
name.

NEW ULM, MINI.
Wednesday, March 6, 1889.

Tuesday the legislature passed an act
and the governor has approved it,
which is important to townships. 1t is
an act to amend section II, chapter 4,
of the general laws Of 1887, relative to
elections. It makes registration unnec-
essary in township elections, thereby
saving considerable expense which
would otherwise have been incurred
under the Whiteman law. Further, it
permits a judge of election to be a can
didate for office. The former fact is
one which should become generally
known throughout the state before the
spring elections. Upon the bill in
question Attorney General Clapp has
the following to say: ''The election
law of 1887, by express terms, made its
provisions applicable to the election Of
township officers, not to town meetings
proper, as has been understood by
some, but to the election of township
officers. This rendered it necessary if
the law was complied with, to go
through all the work of registration,
which involved great amount of IN
necessary labor and expense. By an
act passed Tuesday the election law no
longer applies to the election Of town
ship officers, and it is important that
town officers be apprised Of this prior
to the coming spring election. The ef-
feet of this change is, of course, to rem
der township officers eligible to re-elec-
ton, the provisions of the law of 1887
prohibiting candidates from being
judges Of election being no longer in
force as to the election of township of
icers.

The SeYatson usury bill passed the
house Saturday. It will PROBABLY be
killed in the Senate, as that body re-
fused to pass a similar bill only a'short
time ago.
New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1889-03-06

President Cleveland vetoed the direct
tax bill on the grounds that it was un-
constitutional. The Senate could not
see it in that light and passed the bill
over the presidents veto. There is no
likelihood Of the house taking similar
action. If the bill should become a
law, Minnesota would receive 1913, 245
as her share of the tax.

A Canine Monomaniac.

In an uptown residence Of some fash
ionable pretensions there is a little dog
who is of such an esthetic turn of mind
that he has become infatuated with the
flowers in the design of the parlor car
pet, says the Philadelphia Record. The
little fellow is a very pretty skye terrier,
and was introduced into the household
about three months ago as an animated
playthin for the little daughter of the
family. When he was first allowed to
frequent the parlor he Immediately took
a fancy to the flowers in the carpet, and
finally settled upon one which suited his
taste to ''t." The more he saw of it
the greater became his fascination, until
finally he could not beattracted from it.
Caramels and other toothsome morsels
were looked upon by him with disdain
eminently BETTING a puny canine of his
high social standing and ready discern
ment of the beautiful in art. He would
rub his black little nose against the
flower, then wriggle back short dist
ance and Jump at it. When he became
convinced that the flower was not afraid
of him, he paved it with his little claws
and wore a hole almost through the car
pet The head of the house thought
that this was something new in diseases
of dogs, and sent to a well-known scient-
list in dog lore, who pronounced it to be
one of the qUeerest manias he had ever
seen in an animal.
A few days ago the idea of presenting
the dog with real rose-which was the
flower that appeared in the design OF the
carpet-occurred to the head of the
house and he took few of them home
one evening" The little terrier looked
at them in a curious way at first and then
at the flower in the carpet, and finally
made n dash at the real flowers and tore
them into shreds, after which he return
ed to the unreal article.
At one time during the course of his
love-making, when it was found that he
would destroy that portion of the carpet
with which he was infatuated, he was
taken away and locked in room for two
days, but he refused to take the most
tempting food, and seemed to be pining
away until he again was allowed in the
parlor. He is there now, and is likely
to reman until his death OF the cure of
his ailment.

A Pathetic Unselfishness.

I remember being taken once by my
mother when I was child to see Il poor
woman who was dying of a cancer.
The disease was eating its way to a vital
part, and her doctor had given her q
month as her utmost limit of life. She
was preparing for her end in way that
seemed practical aud prosaic enough,
but that struck me as pathetic in its
self-forgetfulness. She was sitting up
in bed, with basket beside her, finish
ing up the family mending, showing
her eldest daughter-on whose thirteen
year-old shoulders the burden of house
hold care was soon to fall-how to fell
down seams in the little brothers knee
patches and how to darn the heel of
fathers sock 50 that he would never feel
the difference. She had impressed upon
the girl how to make her fathers favor
tie potato pone, and also how to
manage her young sister when she got
into the sulks, what to do for her father
when he had his periodical fit of cramps
and everything else she could think of
that would insure comfort in the hum
BILE home she was leaving. She had all
the work planned Which she would do
during the short span of life that was
given to her. Her burial clothes were
folded away in a drawer with sweet
basil leaves among them.
/ was reminded of the incident by
reading in a paper recently of a man in
Milwaukee who is preparing for some
thing that is even more terrible than
death-insanity He will be violently
insane in few weeks, and he knows it.
Some time ago his skull was fractured {;
gristle is fast forming about the
cracked edges, which will surely press
upon the brain and make him a maniac.
He talks calmly and nationally of his
approaching fate, and spends every mo-
ment of his brief term of sanity in
making provision for his family when
he shall no longer be able to care for
them. 1t is situation worthy the pen
of novelist like Daudet.-Nolo Tork
Fashion Bdzdr.

A Squirrels Trick.

Casting anchor about hundred yards
from shore, fisherman in the Moose
head region was getting ready to light
his pipe, when he saw the wake of some
kind of animal in the water, says the
Lewiston one. JOunaI.
The animal making it was heading
toward the clearing in such way as to
lead him across my bow. Immediately
l started to pull the anchor, and at the
noise the wake at once headed for me.
This was a surprise, and thinking the
animal might be a water snake l took
up the paddle, ready to do battle if ne
cessary.
On came the wake, but as L was about
to strike l saw that the creature was a
small one. l dropped the paddle into
the water, thinking to clip" it into the
air and get sight of it. But before 1
could do this, like flash something ran
up the paddle, across my wrist and out
into the bow, and then L saw that | had
Il red squirrel for companion. He was
painting; his sides worked like bellows,
yet he watched me keenly.
l did not approach him, and as the
fish now began to bite at the end of my
one-hundred foot line, he sat there I'M
molested until long after the sun had
risen. A hail to breakfast was q well
come one, and as approached the bow
to 1ull the anchor Mr. Squirrel took the

Women Who Shave.

''Did you ever shave woman?" was
the queer question put to barber by a
customer who was being shaved.
''Many time" said the barber, who
went on to tell his experience in that
line of business. "There are ladies in
town who have quite a mustache, and
others who have something like chin
beard, and L have operated on both
kinds. I shaved the upper lip of lady
J esterday afternoon to prepare her to go
out to party. She keeps down the
growth of hair by clipping it, but she
wanted to look extra fine on this occa-
sion. Some of them who are troubled
as she is pull out the hairs a few at a
time till they get rid of the whole
growth, and there is now an electrical
way of removing them without pain
from any part of the face, but I know
ladies who get BARRIERS to shave them at
times, and others who can shave them
selves just like men. - Hair-Dresser.

White Men Nauseate Cannibals.

Recently remarkably interesting
lecture was delivered by DR.. Carl L1lm-
holz, of Christiania, Norway, before the
Geographical Society at Chickering hall,
New York. DR.. Lumholz is a young
Norwegian scientist who, a few years
since, conceived the idea of penetrating
the widest parts of Australia in search
of flora and fauna Of the country. He
has but now returned from his explora-
tions, having passed two years and more
among the least civilized tribes of men
now existing, and among nations never
before visited by white men.
DIR. Lumholz related his experiences
with the cannibalistic tribes of the in
terror. He told of their treachery to
each other as tribes, how they have ter
ritories over whose borders they can
only step at the risk of being hunted
and killed, and that when thus killed
they are often eaten. While DR.. Lum-
holz was among them they made some
thing of secret of their fondness for
human flesh. He was glad nevertheless
to learn that they did not look upon
white men as very available food, as it
was reported to make them nauseated.
During his stay offs year or more among
these people he heard of only two cases
of cannibalism.

Revenue of Sailors Snug Harbor


One of the largest pieces of property
owned by a single corporation in New
York is that owned by the Sailors Snug
Harbor. It is the possessor of over
twenty acres in the best and busiest
portion of the town This magnificent
piece of property was bequeathed to the
Sailors Snug HarbGr by Captain Ran
dali, an old seafarng man, who had
more money than lie knew what to do
with, and who died in 1901. He had
bought the properly years before, at a
very low rate, yhen nobody ever
thought that the cit of New York would
extend much furthei than Canal street.
The income derivedfrom rentals of this
property amounts Il over 100000 an
nually. What is lone with all this
money I'm sure [ 60 not know. 1t is
claimed that it is expended in keeping
up the institution on Staten Island.
This may or may nd be. would ven

CURIOSITIES OF SUICIDE.

SUICIDE was believed in. an d resorted
to by the ablest and most din 'tinguished
of the ancients. Seneca is. authority for
the philosophy that "a wise imam lives as
long as he ought-not so long as he
can," and Pliny declared that there were
"three sorts of diseases to scape from
which man had good title to destroy
himself two of which are he adache and
q pain in the stomach"
ACCORDING to the Justin ian code,
suicide, "either through we.riness of
life or an impotence under / ain or i'll
health or for any other reason not affect
ing the public treasury" was deemed
iustifable and the confscation of prop
erty in these cases not inflicted. After
ward the impelling causes of suicide
WEAKNESS of life, madness, or shame"
were added to the list of legal ex-
cuses for "self-slaughter.
AMONG the japanese there is an es-
tablished mode of suicide, which is
taught to all youths as an Indispensable
part of their education. "Hara-kiri,"
which literally means happy dispatch"
is q scientific method Of dIsemboweling
ones self, with which every Japanese of
u,
commerce must be theoretically familiar,
and great pains are taken to instruct
the BOYS of that country in the proper
way of performing it, and the circum-
stances under which we'll bred man
should feel hnuself obliged thus to de-
stroy himself.
DEMosTHENEs destroyed himself by
taking poison which he conveniently
carried in pen. Homer hanged him
self because he could not solve "the
fisherman's riddle and Cato ended his
troubles by stabbing himself to death.
Terence, the great poet, dr. owned him
self because he lost his valuable collec-
ton Of los translated comedies, and
Portia, Cato's daughter, and CatuIus
LuctatiuS put an end to their existence
by swallo wing burning Goals. Seneca
opened his veins and bled to death
Nero cut his own throat, and Democles
scalded hi1aself to death. Zeno, at
%, fell and broke his thumb, and he in
terpreted this accident as o summons
from earth and went out and hanged
himself.
{ A TRENCHMAN short time ago re-
sorted to the novel method of killing
himself by thrusL ing n large key down
his throat, and woman in New York
put an end to her trials and tribulations.
by swallowing wineglassful Of broken
glass, and died in most horrible agony.
Sam Patch is said to have courted death
in every Jump he made at the falls of
Niagara, and Paterson, N. J., and only
accomplished his purpose amid the.
glories of Sbe Genessee Falls. In Paris
the favorite methods of suicide are.
jumping off bridges and monuments, or
by asphyxiation by burning charcoal.
So great is the desire on the part Of
would-be suicides to use monuments
and bridges that guards are continually
kept at those places to restrain the
romantic death seekers.

A movement has begun in Berlin to
raise the wages of car-drivers. They
undoubtedly need it, receiving but $l8
Der month, which is increased somewhat
by fees. The fares in Germany depend
r1pon the distance travelled, two and a
MALT cents being the minimum and six
OF seven the maximum price. The Gus
+om of tipping the conductor is general
n the German metropolis, the proceeds
l}eing regularly divided with the driver.
The regular salaries of the employees
are raised with passing years, an addi-
ion of S. being made after the first
twelve months and $25 at the end of the
first decade The laborers' duty is
usually arduous, however, lasting often
from fourteen to sixteen hours each day.
Their meals are eaten at the station,
where their wives appear with tin buck
cts, and as rule are partaken of cold.
