LONG FOUGHT CASES.
Three Dickinson County Suits Passed
on by the Court,

The new appellate court for TINS
district handed down It's first lot Of
decisions Saturday and among them
are some Of interest to Dickinson
county.
The case Of Henry Bell vs.. the G.
X, &W W. r. X. is reversed. Elder
Bell was riding on Santa re train
and at Manchester was injured by
the trains sudden movement throw
ing him to the ground. He sued for
damages and got verdict for $1,000
in district court. This verdict is
reversed.
The case will be at once entered for
rctrial and will come up at next term
Of court.
The case of j. Il. Bonebrake ct al.
vs.. the Etna Life insurance company
is dismissed. The case grew out oil
the employment Of M. ?, Abbott as
agent for the company. When he
stopped working for them shortage
was claimed in his accounts which
the bondsmen had to put up, UNJUST
ly they thought. The suit was to be
relieved from such payment. The
decision of the court ends the case
and compels payment OF the amount
The sureties were G. W. Hurd, I.
| Mosher and j. \. Bonebrake.
DR.. s. Steelsmith VS.. U. ?. r. Il,
reversed. This suit was over the ex-
pense for surgical attendance on an
injured employe when W. N
Hendricks was agent here and turned
on the authority OF Hendricks to en-
gage a surgeon without instructions
from the company, The case was
giyen to the road in the lower court
by the judge. The reversal puts II in
shape for new trial

Those Good Old Times.

We hear much about the "good old
times but it Is doubtful II anyone
would voluntarily return to them.
Mrs. j. W. Baker showed us today a
leaf from an account book kept by
her father, a doctor and dentist in the
east in 1912, and 1t is indeed a
curiosity. Here are some Of the
items:
10 4 visits, Dovers' powders etc,
80 cents.
TO 2 visits, quinine ETC., 30 cents.
70 / visit, medicine and advice, 20
cents.
TO 8 visits, Dovers' powders etc.,
25 cents.
To 2 visits, advice and counsel, DO
cents.
To advice, Dovers powders ETC., Ss
cents.
The seems to have been very close
figuring on the charges and the doctor
evidently earned his money, The
credits show the price Of some articles
and the method Of payment Fol
instance; by leather, $780, by ONT
days work chopping, sl,ooi by I
pounds Of sugar $1.9o; by II yard
flannel, So cents" The book is in
teresting and tends to make on

OUGHT to Be Thankful.

The local page Of the News con-
tains an article asserting that this pa
per has in some mysterious and I'M
explained way ATTACKED" Harry
Barnes, principal Of the high school
and local editor Of the News, The
accusation Is SO silly as to scarcely
merit consideration. We have treat
ed Mr., Barnes with distinction and
kindness. When the local columns
Of the News which he is supposed to
control advocated principles hostile
to Abilene we set him right. When
he denied being the author thereof we
gave him credit therefor, The fact Is
the News has done Mr.. Barnes more
injury than any paper in the city BY
stirring up and urging on school
fight. The REFLECTOR does not be-
lieve in getting the schools into
trouble. 1t has reirained from men
tioning that petition largely signed
by patrons Of the high school is in
circulation protesting against Mr.
Barnes's management and declaring
the discipline and conduct Of thf
school during the past year a failure
a petition which will be presented to
the board at the next meeting. VIZ
have refused to sign the petition ane
also to publish several commQnlca
tons sent to this office by patrons
who believe that the work OF high
school students is not in running tint
streets, having a "good time" pub
fishing newspapers and conducting
secret societies but in giving strict at
tention to their books. We have re-
fused to drag these matters int
print, believing that the board is tn
proper authority to conduct on
schools. Mr., Barnes should be CRATE
full rather than complaining

qulred large number of friends, who
learned to revere her. The funeral took
place from the Lutheran church Monday
afternoon.
Word was received from Victor, Cali
fornia, Monday morning, to the effect
that E. G. Pahl had passed away Sunday
afternoon. Mr.. PAIL has been sufferer
from consumption for many years, and
while the news of his death occasioned
no surprise, it nevertheless brought on
feeling of general regret. Mr.. Pahl was
born in Holstein, Germany IN Septem-
ber, 1852. He came to America in 1868
but returned after brief stay here. In
1871 he came again and year late found
him in New Ulm. He taught school
here for time and then engaged in the
milling business as partner in the EN-
pire Mill Co. He married Miss Amelia
Wagner, daughter of Chas. Wagner, in
1878 and the result has been four chill
dren all of whom survive him. In 1887
he went to Europe for his health, re-
naming several moths. Two years ago
he was compelled to leave the mill and
go to California where he engaged in
business. Since then there has been lit
tie hope for his recovery and he himself
seemed to feel it. Mr.. Pahl was always
good and public spirited citizen and
was often called to perform public du-
ties. In 1890 he received the Democra-
tic nomination for lieutenant governor
out was defeated by G. S. Ives. He was
man who made friends easily, and
and those who knew him best admired
him most. His remains will be crema-
ted at Los Angeles, and his family will
remain in California for at least three
years.
Frank Schaeffer, whose illness was re-
ported last week, succumbed Friday af-
noon. He was comparatively a young
man and during the greater part of the
time since maturity he has been engaged
in the dray business. Unassuming in
his conduct toward others. he impressed
all with his faithfulness and honesty
traits that are to be priced in any man.
He was hard worker and his family re-
lations were pleasant. He was men,

Deaths Harvest.

1t becomes the painful duty of the Re-
view this week to record an unusually
large number of deaths.
On Wednesday, Herman Kalb died at
the hospital after a brief but painful ILL.,
ness. He was young man with good
habits, and the young wife and little
child that remain are entitled to genuine
sympathy. The widow is daughter of
Chris. Fllzen.
Gustav Lind father of Hon. John Lind,
died at his home in Winthrop Sunday af-
ternoon. His death had been constant
ly expected, for the paralytic strokes
sustained during the summer were such
as to render him helpless.It IS impossible
for us to obtain particulars at this time,
owing to the tact that his son is now in
Wyoming, but this much at least can be
said he was an influential and wor-
thy member OF the community in which
he lived and honored by all who knew
him.
The wife OF Prof. J. Mohr of the COL
lege faculty also died on Saturday, Her
illness has been long and painful, but up
to the time of her death she manifested
heroic patience and endurance. Her 1esi-
dence in New Ulm has not been of long
standing, but nevertheless she had ae-

REV. SCOTT HAS RESIGNED.
A Story to the Effect that His Action was
Brought on by Kiss.

Rev. Walter Scott, pastor of the NJ. E.
church IN this place, has resigned, and his
resignation has been accepted by the
church officials. He will represent the
Gebbie Publishing Co., of Philadelphia
art and high class literature. The peo-
pie here are sorry that Mr.. Scott will
leave us. Since his coming among us he
has won for himself and family many
friends. He is gentleman of ability
and has conducted himself in a Christi
an manner. His family will, we under
stand ,remain here for the present.-Lake
Crystal Union.
An interesting story is aioat at Lake
Crystal regarding the cause of this resig-
nation, and it has already been published
to the following effect:
Rev. Scott was formerly pastor of the
church at Springfield, Minn., and it is
said that one evening while he Was romp-
ing with his wife and the hired girl he
accidentally kissed her on the forehead.
as he himself is said to have stated, his
wife bearing him out in the statement.
He left Springfield shortly after and To-
Gated at Lake Crystal, succeeding Rev.
Foot IN the M. E. church.
One of the Springfield ''sistern"
looked on the kissing in serious light
and wrote to the members of the Lake
Crystal church, who referred the matter
to Presiding Elder Stafford. A meeting
was held, and Mr.. Scott was asked to ex-
plain the matter, which he is SAID to
have done as above stated. Mr.. Scott
is said to have declared that the matter
was too small to attract much attention.
He was asked to make public apology,
so the story goes, but refused to COM
promise himself by an admission of g. gdllt
implied in an apology. He was conse-
quently "silenced," which means that
his resignation was requested and was
handed in and accepted. The public
sentiment at Lake Crystal seems to be IN
his favor so far as we are able to learn

predicts that little damage will be done
to small grain, owing to the fact that the
bugs have been retarded in their activity
by the wet weather. He despairs for the
corn, however, and says that unless pre-
cautions are taken in time the damage
will be extensive, He is prepared to do
good work this year IN exterminating the
