There is a city ordinance against
throwing ashes in the street. and
those who follow this practice are apt
to be hauled before the bar of justice.
The ashes mixes with the snow, be-
comes wet and lodges about horses
feet. The lye that is formed eats the
hoofs and makes the pastern joints
sore. People who think their horses
suffering from scratches would be sur
prised to know that the trouble is
more likely due to the lye in the ashes
stepped on in the street. The ordi-
nance should be enforced.
-Mr.and Mrs N Peter Johnson, liy-
ing at 14l3 N. Second street, are sadly
afflicted. Saturday diphtheria carried
off their six year old boy, and the re-
mains were inferred this morning.
Another child is very low with the di-
sease, and still another has been at
tackled by it.

FROM this distance, it would seem
that the school board of New Ulm has
done it's public schools an almost ire
parable injury in the unceremonious
removal Of Prof. Nix as superintend-
emit. A contest has been on for sew
eral months, and the fracas has be-
come a matter of state wide nOtoriety.
Under the SUPPLEMENTARY of Mr.. Nix
the schools of New Ulm have been ad-
vanced to position among the very
first educational institutions of the
state, and the professor is concededly
one OF the foremost educators in the
Northwest 1t is apparent to out
siders, whether or not the facts bear
such construction, that the fight
made against Mr.. Nix is entirely fac
tional and with little or no real foun-
dation for the action taken in his
discharge. Politics have evidently en-
tered into the New Ulm schools, or at
least the members of the board
responsible for their recent action,
have made it evident to the public
that such is the case. No good in the
public school system can possibly come
from slch condition of affairs as New
Ulm now finds itself in.

AN ASSIGNMENT.

The stone quarry firm of johnson &
MaXtield made an assignment last
evening to Fred Kron. The assign
ment was a voluntary one, and it is
thought that the assets will equal the
liabilities. No figures are yet obtain
able, but it is estimated that the as
sets and liabilities are each between
So, 900 and $4,000. The liabilities are
divided up into number of small ac-
counts, that of The First National
bank being the largest, $500. Wheeler
& Bennett have claim of 5000, and
Fowler & Pay about $40. There are
a number of labor claims.
The assets include the stone quarry
and tools and machinery and some
bills receivable. 1t is thought that
the claims will all be paid in full. The
firm has contract with the county
for putting in some abutments, and
this will undoubtedly be carried out
by the assignee.
The latter's attorniys are Pau &
Young.
Johnson & MaXfield are compare
lively new firm, have worked hard,
and'their misfortune is to be regret
ted.

A DESERVED COMPLIMENT.

The following letter, received from
the American Book company, of Chi
cago, is tribute to the school children
of Minnesota entirely worthy their
generous contributions toward the
Hiawatha statue which occupied so
conspicuous place at The worlds
fair.
1t may be proper to here say that
Mrs. Hunt has a large number OF very
excellent photographs of the statue
for sale at 25 cents each, and the
funds derived from the sale of these
pictures will be al piled toward defray
ing the cost of putting the cast into
bronze for permanent exhibition pur-
poses, and as a lasting tablet to the
patriotism of the youngsters of our
commonwealth.
The letter is as follows:

Dear Madam: Your favor of the Sd
inst is at hand

est and one of the darkest that you

ditional charge for postage, ETC., |
shall be pleased to remit the amount
on hearing from you again.
Permit me to say that the statue of
Hiawatha and Minnehaha did credit
alike to the teachers and pupils of
Minnesota, and to the artist who con-
ceived and performed the work. Last,
but by no means least, it was credit
to those persons who had in charge
the exhibit of your state.
