nR. ULM WENT.
He May be Brought Back Before he
Expected tO,Return.

Last week Jesse Ulm and another
party were arrested and fined for dis
orderly conduct. He was unable to
pay the entire amount of his fine, but
promised that the amount should be
forthcoming within few days. Since
then, Ulm has left for St. James, TAX
ing his team with him. 1t appears
that this team is mortgaged to John
B. Hodapp to secure note for $50.
Mr.. Hodapp has gone to Texas and has
sold the note and mortgage to John
Peter Krost. Mr.. Krost was informed
by somebody that Ulm had sold his
furniture and was preparing to go to
Spencer, Iowa, and yesterday procured
warrant for his arrest, on the charge
of removing and concealing mortgaged
property. The warrant has not yet
been served, but the officers believe
that Ulm is at ST. James.
Mrs. Ulm is in the city and states
that her husband will return to the
city as soon as he can earn sufficient
money to pay his fine in the NUM-
cipal court.

litical situation occurred just before
noon. Russia quietly showed her
hand and thereby forced Germany
and Turkey out of the game to all in

insisting upon the annexation of

NORWAY'S INDEPENDENCE DAY.
How 1t Was Celebrated in this City
A Fine Program.

Since the adoption of the constitu-
tion in Norway in 1914 the Norwe-
gians have maintained a high degree of
patriotism and which occasion is
celebrated the 18th of May. A large
and interested gathering attended the
exercises at Williams hall Mon
day evening. Each number on the pro-
gram was excellently rendered. A
number of original poems written for
the occasion were well received. The
singing of "Shonna Mai" by the mems
chorus directed by Mr.. A Floe was ex-
ceptionally good, after which Prot.
Peterson delivered the most interest
ing address heard in this city on the
subject of independence. The peo-
pie in attendance who filled the hall
to the doors will long remember this
historic treat.
The committee il charge deserve
great credit for their efforts in max
ing the occasion a success.
Prof. Petersen, who is connected
with Augsburg Seminary, returned to
Minneapolis yesterday morning.

THE CUBAN QUESTION.

Yesterday President Mckinley sent
special message to congress in rela-
tion to the condition of American
citizens in Cuba. According to the
official reports which he has received
there are some six or eight hundred
Americans there Without means of
support. They are shut up in towns
along with the Cubans under orders
of Gen. WeYler, who will not allow
them to cultivate the soil, whereby
they might secure sufficient food.
The president asked for an appro-
priation of $50, 900 for their relief, and
that portion of 1T might be used to
remove those from Cuba who desire
to return to the United States, but
are without means to do so. A reso-
luton appropriating the sum named
Immediately passed the senate but
was hung up in the house under OBJ
lection. This appropriation will
doubtless afford the needed relief for
American citizens there, who are Suf-
fering, but how about the Cubans
who are in the same condition. 1t
would seem that in the name of hu-
manity something ought to be done
for them, but of course The question
is how TO do it. President Mckinley
haS.of late been severely criticised
because he has done nothing in the
Cuban matter. But the developments
of the last few days, show that he
has not been idle since he has been in
the White house, but has been COL
lecting information as to the real
condition there so that he could act
upon the question intelligently and
effectively. Personally, it is sald the
president has deep sympathy for
the struggling Cubans and theil
cause, and that this sympathy will
lead him to do in an official manner,
anything that he possibly can. In
the meantime it is probable that the
senate will put in a good share of: this
week in the consideration of the res
olution by Senator Morgan, recognize
ing the Cubans as belligerents. There
seems to be general feeling that the
country is on the eve of some impor-
tant move in the Cuban question that
will afford relief to the struggling
patriots there.

THE KINDERGARTEN.
Program For Summer. No Tuition.
Slight Enrolment Fee.

The summer time is essentially the
Kindergarten season. Froebel's idea
Of a kindergarten was that of field
study, free observation and real
garden-making, planting and caring
for and watching the growth of the
plant, in this way bringing the child
into the closest sympathy with
natures process and thereby into the
most perfect. recognition of his own
life and development, and the appre-
citation of the true purpose thereof.
The outline for the summer work of
the kindergarten has been prepared
to acQuaint the parents of the children
with the true scope of the undertake
ing. AZ the SAME time it has seemed
hardly possible to make this without
some provision for it's final alteration.
The work as in the grades will be
made free and attractive, the aim be-
ing constantly to promote the health
of the child as we'll as to occupy him
and interest him in valuable play
during the summer months. Much
time will be spent out of doors, and
healthful employment of mind and
body will be the earnest care of the
kindergarten.
The following is the outline pre-
pared for the daily work in this de-
partment:
$50, Morning Circle-Story Home.
$40, Out-of-DoOr Study.
900, Nature Talk.
9:l5, Table Work.
$50, Out-of-Door Recitation-Game
Period.
1920. Dismissal.
This whole program may be ar
ranged for out.of-doors, and a great
many interesting and instructive op-
portunities used which otherwise
would be lost.
There will be no regular tuition in
the Kindergarten except an enroll
ment fee of Sl.00.
In the other departments instead of
tuition there will be an enrolment
fee of so cents.

QUIETLY Welded.
NuptiaIs OF Morton Wilkinson Brew
Ster and Miss lSadOra rlacbeth.

A very happy event occurred at the
residence Of j. II. Macbeth at 500
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, being the
wedding of Mr.. Macbeth's sister, Miss
Isadora Macbeth, and Attorney Nor
ton Wilkinson Brewster, of Wells.
Judge Mead officiated, and only two
or three intimate friends of the bride
were present. The efforts to keep
the approaching event quiet had
proved very successful and it was not
until this afternoon that the affair
leaked out.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brewster took the
evening train to Wells, where
they will reside, but will prob
ably return tomorrow. The
bride is daughter of Mrs. Ellen
Macbeth, and has been the local
operator of the Blue Earth Valley
Telephone Co.'S line. She is grad
uate of the High school and popular
and talented young lady. She has
been stenographer for S. W. Wright's
fruit company, the Creamery Pack
age Co., and the Wells bank.
Mr.. Brewster is grand son of the
late Ex-senator Wilkinson and a
nephew of Geo. II. Brewster of this
city. He resided in this city for
short time, being associated with
Hughes Bros, and is now practicing
at Wells, in partnership with Byron
Hughes. He is an unusually bright
young man and has useful future.
The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Brewster will extend their best wishes
to the young people.
E. G. Neuman will be the local
operator of the telephone company.

A MIXED UP CASE.

Adolph Page's trial took place yes
terday in the municipal court, on the
charge of closing and interfering with
the water connection to John A. Ar
nold's house. The pipe runs throughMr
Pagel's house to reach Mr.. Arnolds,
both being supplied by the same pipe.
When Mr.. Pagel wanted to shut the
water off from his house it also shut
it off from Mr. Arnold's. The latter
claimed that there was another shut
off that would have closed the
water off from Mr.. Pagels house
without cutting it off from his, but
Mr.. Pagel said that he had never
been informed of such shut off.
Many new points were raised. las the
case is novel one. A. r. Pau Jr.
appeared for the state and w. N. Ply
mat for the defendant. After the case
had been argued, an adjournment was
taken to May 26th, when further au-
thorities will be cited. The suit is
being closely contested.

the officers of the new to recover the
purchase price of the grand stand.
fence, equipments, etc. The reply is
made in behalf of himself, w. A.
Funk, Oscar Bierbauer and o. w.
Schmidt. 1t alleges that the defend.
ants named in the complaint do not
constitute the new base ball associa-
tlon, but that the association is COM
posed OF all who signed the paper. 1t
denies that the new association ever
agreed to purchase the property of
the old association, and says that the
old association offered to sell the prop

offered to take it, but that the old
association never carried out the
agreement. 1t further alleges that
there was lien on the property for
unpaid rent held by John Page.

WAS NOT DIVORCED.
This Is Why Certain Wedding Did
Not Take Place SATURDAY..

Attorney Cray was sitting in his Of
flee Saturday, when a middle aged
man who resides in this city entered
and said that several years ago he had
been granted divorce but that as
he had never paid for having the de-
cree entered on the records, the or
der of the court severing his bonds of
matrlmony was not yet in force. He
desired to pay Mr.. Cray S12, saying
that this was the amount required,
and IN turn wanted Mr.. Cray to have
the divorce recorded at once. Mr..
Cray was not familiar with the case
and said that all that he could do was
to give receipt for the money. and
that the matter could not be attend
ed to at once.
Inc visitor was much disappoint-
ed, and said that he was to be married
that afternoon, and that if the decree
OF divorce was not recorded the we'd
ding would have to be postponed.
This is the second time that this man
mas mad to postpone his wedding. E.
T. Freeman was his attorney in the
divorce proceedings and afterwards
learned that he had procured a
license to marry a second time. Mr..
freeman warned him of the conse-
quences, and the wedding was indie
1nltely postponed, as the man was
not able to pay for the recording of
the divorce. He desired to get his So
license money back, but also failed in
this. Whether the present engage
ment will be prolonged indefinitely
time will tell.

The TURK AND HIS DOCTORS.

The Turk is having his day now.
He has been bluffed, kicked and
cuffed, and looked upon as no especial
account. His war footing has been
sneered at by Europe, and his posses
sions have been looked upon as the
legitimate spoil of the powers when
ever they thought the time had ar
rived when the division could best be
made for their interest. And appar-
emily the Turk has believed that IN
the matter of war footing he did not
amount to much. But all has changed.
In the little brush with Greece,
Turkey has exhibited unexpected
energy in getting in shape for war.
She has put into the field large
and we'll equipped army, and one Lnat
is we'll officered. 1t has had the ad-
vantage of the training of some or the
best officers in military matters ia
Europe. More then this Turkey has
been backed up by the powers, and
practically urged on to the course she
assumed against Greece, and the sue
cess with which she has met, has
caused her to feel rather important.
True it is that the forces Of Greece
have not offered the Turkish army
great deal of resistance, and afford no
criterion as to what the result would
be should it happen to meet the forces
Of Of
But this cuts no figure. The sultan
is as pulled up with his Importance as
though he was the leader of European
military affairs, and he doubtless feels
plenty able to meet any one or two of
the nations of Europe. Hence his
stiff demands regarding Greece. He
wants sum, aggregating over $4O.-
100000 as an indemnity, and also the
ceding Of Thessaly to him. This the
the powers will not consent to. They
have declared that neither side should
benefit by the war, and they seemed
inclined to stand by that proposition.
But the Turk says il is spoils or war,
and proceeds on with the conflict and
sets his force on Anthems.
The situation today is of the powers
own inviting and making. All the
time they have favored the interests
of Turkey, and are as much response
BILE as any one, for the position the
Turk now occupies. The Turkish
government has gotten away from
them and is taking the bits in its
teeth. 1t may finally conclude to sus-
pend hOStilities at the request OF the
powers, and it may not. 1t may take
an armed Intervention of the powers
to put stop to hostilities, and that is
where real danger to the peace OF
Europe really comes in. What any
thing of that nature would lead to,
what complications might possibly
arise, are matters that only the future
can reveal 1t has been predicted all
along by those who have kept in close
touch with European affairs, that the
arranging of peace between Turkey
and Greece was fraught with more
danger to Europe than anything that
has yet occurred there since the
present trouble commenced, and the
drift of affairs there during the past
few days seem to bear it out.
