Two Hundred Young Athletes Will Take
Part in the Exercises.
A Few Statements Regarding the Turner
Societies of the State.
A Brief Review of the Principles Which
They Advocate.

Fully ten thousand people will gather
together in New Ulm the latter part of
this week to witness the Turnfest. They
will come from all parts of the state
from as far north as Duluth and from
Winona on the east and Dakota on the
west. Minneapolis will send $50, st.
Paul almost as many, Duluth 100, Wi
n. ma 80, Rochester, Osseo, and Whape-
ton each 80 and Saltwater few. All
of these towns will have large compet-
ing classes, while from Tracy, Mankato
St. Peter, Redwood Falls, Morgan,
Springfield and Sleepy Eye there will
come large delegations of sight-seers.
Special trains will run from all of these
points and reduced rates will bring out
many who might not otherwise come
The Fest will open on Friday and con

Next Saturday their representatives
will be in New Ulm, and we feel safe in
saying that they will make peaceable and
desirable guests. That they should come
to New Ulm in greater crowds than to
any other place is only natural. The
people here afford more entertainment
and pay greater attention to their guests
than the people of large cities possibly
can or those of most towns care to. The
Turner's know this. and they are accord
ingly coming to stay and enjoy thcmsel-

compulsory education;: they recognize
but one flag, the. stars, and stripes, and
to become member of the North Am
erican Turnerbund one must become a
citizen of the eUnited. States with not only
his first but his second papers. These
are the salient points Of their creed and
they are different to a great degree from
what people suppose.

A Washington Special,

Senator Washburn's argument in favor
OF his amendment allowing the president
to levy an additional retaliatory duty on
certain imports from those countries
which maintain discriminating duty
against our grain and grain products was
one Of the most convincing that has been
delivered in the senate. The amendment
would allow an increase of one-half in
duties on silks, laces, toys, brandies, Ii
quors and wines coming largely from
Germany, France, Austria and Italy,
where duty practically prohibitory is
levied against American -four and very
high duty on wheat. The senator poin-
ted out that the policy proposed was
that embodied in the bill introduced and
championed by Senator Vest in the Fiji.
ty-frst congress, which had opened Eu-
ropean markets to our meat products, q
bill which had been Of immense benefit
to the agricultural classes. The milling
industry is one of thcSmost important in
the land, not only in itself but in its re-
lation to the wheatgrowers. The daily
capacity Of the mills ofthe United States
I is about $50, 900 barrels, Of which 1OO,-
900 are ground in Minnesota. The CAPT
tai invested is about $50, 900, 900, em-
ploying over q, 900 men, at wages most
remunerative. Owing to the pressnt
dullncse of the markets, the entire de-
mand for the current year can be sup
piled in 113 days Of operation, leaving
2O1 days for total or partial idleness.
This shows how necessary an increased
market has become. Were it.not for the
discriminating duties our entire exports

In this connection it may not be amiss
to say few words regarding the work
that is being done by these societies in
their different homes. Gymuastic IN
structlon, of course, is an important fea-
ture with them all. Each of them have
gymnaslums and five of them have reeu-
lar Instructors, who have prepared them
selves for this particular line of work in
the east. Hugo Fischer hold that posi-
ton in New Ulm, G.. J. Hermann. in
Minneapolis, Emil Rahm in St, Anthony
Park, G. Alleborn in Duluth and Albert
Schlnz in st. Paul. Portraits of all of
these young men accompany this article.
Besides the gymnasiums few of the
societies have schools for moral training
and employ special teachers. ,8 S
Concerning the principles of the soci-
ETY. SO little is known by the public
generally, that it is worth while
reviewing them here in brief. Mental
and physical development is one Of the
first things sought for and the members
believe thatin the education of the masses
lies the only hope Of true reform, either
social, religious or political. They also
believe in the liberty Of the press, Of re-
li'gious views and Of public meetings
they uphold the eight-hour system OF
labor but are. opposed to the employment

The Cigarette Evil.

The war on cigarettes that is being
waged by the common council of Chica-
go, assisted by the press generally, will
probably result in some good, even
though it may not lessen the evil of to-
bacco smoking, Some people are lab
oring under the impression that crus-
ade is being wagcd against the use of to-
bacco in given form. Such presump-
ton is not warranted by the facts. 1t is
not against tobacco that the recent ord;-
nance was aimed, but against the adul-
terants used almost invariably by the
manufacturers of cigarettes. The ordin-
ary cigarette contains jimson weed, OPT.
um in large quantities, tannan, valerian
and other deleterious drugs. 1t is diff
cult to cure cigarette smoker. of the
habit, Even DR.. Kelley and other spec
ialists who profess to have a specific
for alcoholism confess that they are
powcrless to cure man of inebriety who
has become addicted to the cigarette, It
is habit that induces not only physical
but moral degeneracy. A man loses
not only control of his physi-
cal powers, but his moral perceptions be-
come dulled and his intellect sluggish.
The dire results of opium eating and
smoking are perceptible in degree in
the confirmed cigarette smoker. He
Graves the narcotic at all times; occa-
sIenally it obtains the mastery over him
and he will obtain it at any cost of man
hood. He, will beg or steal for it. He
will even pick up half smoked stub
ends from the cutters Of the streets in
order to satisfy his appetite. Nothing
will serve as substitute. The offer of
a prime Havana cigar to cigarette
6end is an insult. It is not tobacco that
he Graves, although he may think it is,
but the deadly drugs he has been SO long
introducing into his system.
We have laws regulating the sale of
poisons by druggists, but none which
apply to tobacconists. Ye, there IS
more injury caused by the sale of adul-
terated cigarettes than there has been
since the making of drugs was first known
The boy or the man who smokes his first
cigarette feels an exhilaration that is abb
sent when he smokes a pipe or a cigar.
The latter are sedatives; the former is
excitant and produces nerve tension
which, agreeable as dissipation at first
soon becomes necessity, just as the
fumes of the juic., of the poppy become
indispensable to the opium fiend. It is
but recently that the attention Of the
medical fraternity has been directed to
this evil. To the credit Of the profession
the majority have united in denouncing
the use of narcotics in this form By men
generally, and especially by the youth.
There are few however, who set per
niciousexample By themselves indul ulging
in the practice. They plead the necess,
|ity for an excitant. OF course, it is their

The Bible in the Schools,

Thereh long been concurrence among
all classes of citizens-the Christian, the
Hebrew and the pagan-that the public
schools were not the proper place for the
religious instruction Of the young. The
right of parents has been recognized to
bring up their children to whatever reli-
gious belief they might prefer, or to
teach them to disregard all creeds, and
in majority of the states this sentiment
has been very properly Incorporated in
to the laws. which guard against any at
tempt at proselyting the young by too
Jealous religious sects by forbidding all
fo1ms of religious instruction in the pub
lie schools. The wisdom of these laws
has not only been generally acknow-
lodged, but has been demonstrated time
and again in the healing of religious
controversies of long standing. ...
But new movement has begun to
overthrow this system and return to the
old and long-abandoned plan of craming
religion down the threats of the young
by means boti, foreign to American con-
ceptions of liberty of conscience and op-
posed to the enlightened sentiment of
the entire civilized world. Very prop
erly, perhaps, the movement originates
in Chicago. It has for its sponsors a
long list of distinguished men. Among
them are such men as President Harper,
of the Chicago university; William j.
Onahan, probably the most distinguished
Catholic layman in America; Charles G.
Bonncy, president of the religious con-
gress at the worlds fair; and w. A. Am
berg, president of the Columbus club.
These men, in their petition to the Chi
cago beard of education, which Is signed
by 10000 other citizens, declare that,
"as the whole world united without OBJ
lection in the universal praise to sOur
Father who art in heaven (the trainers
OF the petition ought to be capable of
quoting the Lords prayer mere correct
ly) during the worlds religious congress
ses Of 1898, we believe that all right
minded classes of Americans now agree
on the daily reading in the public schools
Of suitable selections from the Sacred
Scriptures and the recitation of that
prayer and the two great commandments
upon which hang all the law and the
prophets, thereby fixing in the minds Of
the children the vital spiritual principle
on which good citizenship and the future
welfare Of our country 50 largely de-
pend. 2
An issue may be made upon each Of
the statements contained in this declara-
ton. All right ht-minded Americans do
not agree on the policy Of the daily read
ing in the public schools Of selections
from the Sacred Scriptures. A very
large maj jority Of Americans do not be-
lieve the Scriptures are sacred, and
among them may be numbered President
Harper himself, one Of the signers Of the
petition. who has but recently raised :

surd logical incongruities and historical
and scientific misstatcments. Would it
not puzzle a child taking his first lesson
in geography the well-ascertained fact
that the world is, round Ito hear read
from the Bible the statement that an an
gel stood on. each Of the four corners of
the earth? He would naturally inquire
how 1T came about that thing which is
round. had corneas..
The introduction of Scriptural read
lnggs IN the schools would greatly tend
towards. destroying their usefulness, It
would create endless controversies, not
all necessarily OF a religious character,
but pernicious nevertheless. The pro-
hibitionist would object to his children
listening to Paul's advice to Timothy to
take Little wine for his stomach's sake !,
the opponents Of dancing would find
fault with the statement that there is ga
time to dance::' the divorce would make
strenuous objections to the law of mar
||riage laid down by Christ; tho man fond
|iof pleasure weuld quarrel with the at
tempt to teach his children that much
l,that he does is sinful. ...E.
Il 1t is not to be wondered at that the
men mentioned should advocate such a
measure as the one in question. None
Eof them are practical. They are mere
theorists who believe that all hu-
man prejudices can be obliterated with
wave OF hand, but who themselves are
as intolerant of these who differ from
them as the worst bigot who lived in
medieval times. They assume the viz
tue Of liberality when they have it not,
and are welded tc doctrines of religious
tolerance So closely that they have no
federation for men who differ from them.
Our public schools have got. along
very well without the Bible thus far.
The only friction that has taken place
has been caused by the attempt to intro
duce it as text book. But it has no
more right there than any other of the
so-called "sacred bsoks"- Talmud,
the Koran, the book of Confucius. the
book of Brahma, or the book of theMor-
mon. There are believers in all of these
in our midst, and it cannot be claimed
that either of them is equal to the Bible,
either in the correctness of the moral
precepts inculcated or the exalted theor-
les of human existence that are ideal
lied. ,.
Keep the Bible cut of the public
schools if you would perpetuatc the
school system. If one portion of it is
admitted all portions may claim the like
privilege, and from the day of its intro
duction to the date which shall mark
the entire extinction Of the chief glory
of our republic there will be nothing but
wrangling and bitterness. leading to all
form of strife.-St. Paul Globe.

order of the missioner to destroy
the black scale which was on them.
Mr.. McMUllen performed the work of
fumigation, and ciaims he was author
lied to DO so by Mr.. Cunningham, who
denies the authorization.
The court room was pretty well filed
by people interested in the case, and
some testimony was taken. Among

A CORN IN The EAR CASE.
Judge Van Dyke Rules ON q Los NiOtos
Controversy.

Judge Van Dyke Rules ON q Los NiOtos
Controversy.
Judge Van Dyke in department four
of the superior court yesterday rendered
decision in the cases OF NJ. st. Paul
ct al. We. e. Fish, and 81. st. Paul ct al.
vs. T. A. Pallett ct al, in accordance
with an opinion fled.
The actions were appealed from the
justice court Of Los Nistos township.
Christian Castillo, who occupied and
cultivated tract OF land in the town
ship in 1892, executed to plaintiffs a
chsttel mortgage OH all crops growing or
that might be grown upon it during the
year, to secure an indebtedness of 1920.
When the crops matured they were
gathered by Castillo, and the portion
involved in these actions, consisting OF
corn in the ear. was placed in crib on
the premises.
The PLAINTIFF engaged some teams to
haul it away. and on the afternoon OF
January 8, 1898, Mrs. st. Paul went to
Castillo's res .dence to remove it. While
there F. A. Pallett, also creditor Of
Castillo's, came. He claims he was not
informed OF the mortgage, but the
court thinks the preponderence oil evil
dence was against him. That evening
he began suit against Castillo and at
tsched the corn, keeper being put in
charge.
Judge Van Dyke says that the ques-
ton presented is whether the mortgage
was good as against the attaching
creditors without notice. He holds,
after discussing the question at some
length, that judgment should go for the
plaintiff for $1lS.95 the amount fol-
which the attaching creditors sold it.
