We Will Have a New Road.

The citizens meeting at Turner Hall
last Saturday, as might have been ex-
pected was largely attended. Called to
order by Chairman Pfaender of the
railroad committee, the meeting was
presided over by Ernst Brandt, with
Ges: Jacobs as secretary. A lively dis
cuss}on of the proposition made bY the
New Ulm & Southwestern directors
naturally arose, but from the start it
was evident that the overwhelming
majority was in favor of the new road
and also for granting the $4,000
bonus. Much of the talk had no
particular bearing on the railroad ques-
ton and when each had been permitted
to say his little say, it was agreed with
out dissenting vote to ratifY the action
of the council in granting to The pro-
posed St. Paul, New Ulm and South
western the right of way over the pub
lie grounds in New Ulm. and to request
them to take steps to issue to the road
1924, 900 in bonds, the bonds to bear not
to exceed 5 per cent interest and to be
placed in eskroW in one of the banks of
New Ulm, from which they are not to
be delivered until the road is completed
and equipped from the St. Paul termi.
nus to New Ulm. The condition was al.
so attached to the resolution, that
should the road not be completed with
in two years from the date of placing
the bonds in eskrow the bonds shall be
deemed forfeited. 1t will now be for
the council to see that our representa-
tives in the legislature secure the pas
sage of a bill allowing the city to issue
bonds of the required amount.
|. During the meeting, the statement
was made bv one who ought to be au-
thority, that, if nothing unexpected
intertered, the road would be complet-
ed and cars would be running into
New Ulm next fall.

The Agricultural Meeting.

The annual meeting of the Brown
County Agricultural Society at Turner
Hall last Saturday afternoon was de-
cidedly interesting, When the time
came for the election of officers, some
one moved that all the old officers be
re-instated. This was the occasion for
a long speech from Secretary Heideman
in which he declared that under no Cir
cumstances would he accept of a re.
election. He then went on to prove that
for the last two or three years the pol
icy of the society had been waek one,
that the fairs were not what they should
have been, and that the society instead
of taking any progressive steps, had
been going backward. Under such
conditions and drawbacks, as he said,
he did not propose to serve as an officer.
To the president, Mr.. Pfaender, this ap-
peared like an Insinuation that the Of
ticers had not done their duty, and he
promptly attempted refutation of the
charges. About this time matters were
waxing warm and interesting, when, in
the interests of harmony, Werner
Boesch and others arose and again
nominated for reelection the whole set
of old officers. This had a wholesome
effect, and with unanimity MI. Boesch
was instructed to cast the vote of the
society in carrying out his motion. Ara
solution was then passed, introduced
by G. L. Roos, instructing the officers to
pursue a liberal policy for the coming
fair and pledging the societY's backing
and financial support in their undertak-
ings. Peace once more controlled the
actions of the. society and the election
of directors was proceeded with. The
following were chosen for the various
towns and their selection ensures good
fair for the coming season: New Ulm,
Werner Boesch, c. III. Hornburg, c..
L. Roos and Peter Herian; Sigel, Anton
Mande1feld; Milford, Louis Meyer and
II, L. Runk; Cottonwood, A. Sperl;
Courtland, 81. Mueller; Lafayette, Jos.
Diepolder; Home, W.J. Current.
The report of the secretary was int
teresting. During the year the total
receipts amounted to $7O1.3O. This in
cludes$222. % from state appropriation.
S254. IL from fair receipts, S1i0.2 20 from
theatre and dance and $97 from dues,
besides other miscellaneous sources of
income, The disbursements amounted
to $695.67, consisting principally of
S305.25 for premiums, $685. for seeds,
$43 for music, S45 for old accounts,
S42 60 for advertising and S163. so for
miscellaneous fair expenses. The soci-
ETY. owns in real estate, sheds and other
personal property $9l3.69. Its indebt-
edness consists of a note for 800 in
favor of the Citizens S Bank, thus leaving
q balance of assets over liabilities OF
tSS13.69. Compared with 1889, the
above figures indicate a slight decrease
in both expenditures and receipts, but
the society is nevertheless in q good
condition financially, snd we trust that
! the directors and officers will all work

Judge Gresham of the u. S. circuit
court, at Chicago, has just made an i'm
portant and far-reaching decision in a
matter involving the execution of the
Interstate commerce law. In the case
of a Chicago commission merchant and
the Burlington railroad, where the ship
ment of gram at reduced rates was
charged, the merchant was asked as to
the rate paid, but he declined TO answer
on the ground that the evidence would
incriminate hin,. The judge decided
that he must answer, holding that his
own evidence could not be used against
him. In the case of the railroad agent
the court decided that he must produce
the papers and evidence called for. Ad-
herence to this policy by the courts of
the country viii make the railroads re-
spect the law and conform to Its pro-
visions. Equality of rates is demanded
above cheap rates. Mankato Review:

The call which has been issued for a
conference, at Cincinnati, of repre-.
sentatives of all bodies organized for
various reformatory purposes, is not as
formidable as it looks at first sight.
In the first place the various organi-
zavions of farmers are by no means in
agreement IS to the advsability of or
.ganlzing third party. Many Of them
have declared against the project as in
expedient. Nor will the labor organi-
cations, to any great extent, enter into
the proposed combination of the NAL
contents. Powderly has been. .coquetting
with the Ocala convention in behalf of
the Knights of Labor; and it is evident
that the knights are. by no means,in ac-
cord on this subject; in fact, many of
them are hostile to the proposition.

K. c. Star: There is a new story
out on George r. Peck. A day or two
after the election, when it looked as II
Willis would succeed Humphrey, a
lot of the "boys" including Rossing-
ton and Charles Blood Smith and
Eugene Ware and John Hutchins of
Lawrence, and "Charlie",, Blair, of
Leayenworth, gathered in a little
mournful group ON Kansas avenue to
discuss the situation. They all SOL
EMMY agreed, after looking over the
field, that if it should transpire that
Willis was elected they would leave
Kansas. Then the perplexing ques-
ton arose as to where they should 20.
This knotty problem was under con-
sideration when Peck joined the COM
pany and was informed as to the &C
ton of the party and the point in de-
bate. Assuming a judicial attitude
and thoughtful expression of eoun-
tenance, Peck, after a few moments
silence, came to the rescue with the
question: "How would HI do?,
And they all concluded that, under
the circumstances, 1t would do very
well.

Teachers aud Students Association.

That Allen Center always does
things by halves-three halves at a
time-was proven by the programme
and the turnout at the meeting of our
township association at this place last
night. The Rose Hill folks came by
the four horse wagon load, a regular
four-in-hand. Teachers and scholars
were gathered from all parts of the
country and the patrons turned out
en- masse.
The house was called to order by
the president, Mr.. NJ. Barber, and a
very entertaining programme was dis
posed of. 1t consisted of readings,
recitations and dialogues interpreted
with vocal and instrumental music.
Talks or papers were also given as
follows: On teaching photography,
Mr.. o. Cain; On teaching penmanship
Mr.. ]. T. Wood; Necessity of public
school libraries, A. T. Ellison. The
latter paper was discussed at some
length by Messrs. Tredway and Crow
ell.
The next meeting will be at indie
pendence on December 5th. Patrons,
teachers, students and small children
all turn out and take an interest in
our meetings and we have one of the
best in the. county.
