When the dairy convention business
was disposed of, the secretary announced
that he had received notice FROM the
railroad companies, entering New Ulm,
that the resolution, requesting reduc-
tion of freight rates on coal, had been
received and would be given due con.
sideration. This was the keynote for a
lively discussion.
Mr.. Lind made the statement that
General Freight Agent Hopkins of the
st. Louis road had seen him and told
him, that the business men he had seen
had expressed themselves as perfectly
satisfied with the present rate. If that
was the sentiment of the business men,
said Mr.. Lind, the matter ought to be
dropped. # they wanted to pay rate
of $500 when they were entitled to a
lower rate and could get it, he would not
stand in their way. But he wanted it
understood that he had not introduced
the resolution for personal reasons.
Scores Of people had complained to him
during the fall Of tho high rates on coal.
They had come to him because he had
been largely instrumental in securing
the new road for New Ulm and because
at that time promises were made OF low
er rates, especially on lumber and coal.
He believed then that such reduction
would be among the advantages to be
obtained from competing line. Nov
he had absolutely no interest Or connec-
ton with the road and N introducing the
resolution at the solicitation of others
lie had done rothing more than be would
do again under similar ciircustances.
The rate was excessive, unreasonable.

They Stole
Ii
Money,
Two Gases Of Petit Lorceny Reported o
Monday.
Anton Romberg and Wenzel Groebner
Each Robbed Of $40.

Yesterday morning was busy one IN
justice court. Two strangers, each
charged with petit larceny, occupied the
attention of the courts and attracted at
the same time the interest of the curious
public.
The first case came up before Justice
Brandt. Upon complaint of Anton
Romberg of Leavenworth Burt Mason
was charged with robbing him of $40.
Tie theft was committed on Monday,
Mason having taken the money from
Romberg's pocket, alleging that the in-
toxcated condition Of the complainant
made the temptation too great to resist.
He pleaded guilty to the charge, returned
SIS Of the money and was fined $25 and
costs. Not being able TO pay it, he was
sentenced to serve 80 days in the county
jail. He pleaded half-heartedly for
leniency, but was told that, if the full
penalty Of the law had been meted ont,
states prison would have been his fate.
He is young man and belongs to the
#ontfit that have been serving sentence
in Jail for stealing revolver from
Klossner & Mueller's.
The other party, accused of stealing
$50 from the saloon Of Wenzel Gloebnc1,
WAS brought before Justice Jacobs, and
pleaded not guilty An adjournment
was therefore taken until tomorrow morn
ing, upon motion Of the county attor-
ney. Lars Norman IS the name gwen by

No man is stingy when it comes to
giving advice.
Cupid is always represented as baby,
because love seldom lives to grow up.
Stuart Robson, himself great actor,
in talking of the short lived fame of the
great men of his profession, said in Chi
cago the other day:
'Do not speak of fame for the actor.
He leaves none Of his work behind.
Those who have not seen him cannot
transmit his accomplishments to posteri-
ty-those whom he eehas made laugh or
weep cherish az intangible. recollection,
which usually fades at the death of the
entertainer. The canvas perpetuates a
painters glory, the printing press the
authors. Musical instruments voice a
composers masterpieces centuries after
his lifetime, as court archives and sfeep-
skins preserve a jurist's renown from
decay. Surely the actors structure is
erected on the seasLore, where waves
mount the sands well, everyone knows
the close of the simile.
cat this time the statement may sound
harsh, but I make it in the unwilling
conviction that q few years will bring
its justification: The great Edwin, Booth
will be known in history because his
brother killed President Lincoln. It will
be something like this: John Wilkes
Booth assassinated the president. He
had brother, Edwin, who was known
as prominent actor" 81

present, on the ground that the differ
Ience to the people of New Ulm would
be trivial, while to the railroad compan-
les it would mean the loss of thousands
of dollars, q change in rate here ofcourse
making q change necessary at other
points along their lines nearer the cities
than New Ulm. They also insisted that
$3.50 was reasonable rate
Other remarks were made, some fav-
oring determined adherence to the orig
inal resolution, some advocating that
the Union could not afford to make the
fight in the courts, and others suggesting
the policy of dealing courteously with
the railroad companies in hope Of future
favors in return.
To test the sense Of those present, Mr..
Lind moved that the railroad companies
be notified that the resolution had been
rescinded. This failed to meet with a.
second. J. j. Green then moved that the
Union re-atfrm its action at the previ-
Gus meeting and that the secretary so in.
form the companies. This was carried,
and thus the matter rests for the present.
If the companies refuse, then the Union
can, when 1t sees fit, appeal to the lail.
way commissioners.
A resolution was, towards the close of
the meeting, introduced, which read as
follows:
Resolved, that it is the sense of this
Union that Col. VIM. r. Morrison be ap-
pointed to succeed himself as member
of the Interstate Commerce Com mission,
and that copy of this resolution be for
warded to the president at once"
Mr.. Lind in offering the RESOLUTION
said he realized that it would do no
good, that Morrison would not be ap-
pointed, because the railroads did not
want him, but he believed the Union
ouOuAO pass ~ dS d LAUOtc W Ill dDle
and fearless student of the railway prob
lem.
Mr.. Lienhard say he would not vote
for the resolution. He was raised in
Illinois and had not formed as high an
opinion of Morrison as Lind had.
Lind merely retorted that New Uim
had reason to remember Morrison for
one thing. He made decison at one
time that permitted our mills to run for
eighteen months when they wouldn't
have been able to do so otherwise.
The resolution was passed with only
two votes against it.

Beekeepers, Exchange

The Beekeepers' Exchange of South
ern California, while it has not secured
the patronage it rightly deserves. has
made fairly good start. 1t has saved
large amount to its members the pres
ent season, in the purchase of supplies.
1t is to be hoped that it will accomplish
as much in making sales that it may at
tract to its membership q much larger
number of the beekeepers.
The honey crop the present season,
though not in all cases equal to that of
two years ago. is in the main very good.
The writer visited Ventura county few
days ago and learned that many of the
largest apiarists had secured an average
of more than 100 pounds of honey to the
colony even in apiaries numbering hun
dreds of stands of bees Mr.. Louchton
of Santa Paula commenced with 100 col
onies of bees, increased them to 200 and
secured eight tons of honey. Mr.. Men
delson with 800 colonies of bees secured
80 tons of honey. Mr.. Richardson, pres
ident of the Beekeepers' exchange, with
900 colonies of bees extracted SO tons of
honey. Mr.. Mcintyre, who has usually
done so well, has fallen off somewhat.
With 800 stands of bees he secured 16
tons of extracted honey.

1t is row believed that Frank Bear.
who acted as financial agent for one of
the courts of Foresters, has absconded.
AT the time that his disappearance was
first made a matter of public anxiety
it was feared that he had either wander
ed away in a fit of temporary liberation
or else had met with foul play. 1t was
then stated that his accounts with the
Foresters Unexpectedly straight
Investigations which have since been
made prove that this supposition was
rot altogether true. 1t is known that
at the time of his disappearance Bear
had in his possession about $50 of the
Foresters' money He had previously
collected $3.50 more, which belonged to
the organization, but which was never
turned over. 1t is stated by those who
knew Bear we'll that he had appropri-
ated this amount to his own use, ex-
pecting to return it in time to make the
proper showing in his quarterly report
Or the rear approach of the time when
the reportwould be due he found himself
unable to raise the money. He explain
ed the matter to at least more than one
of his friends and tried to borrow the
money, but was unable to do 30. Find +,

vANQUIsHED A HIGHwAYMAN
/ Major John WA. Off Turns the Tables
on a Bold Robber

Burglars are again at work in the city,
and reports of attempted hold-ups at
different points have been quite numer-

est that has been reported and one
which proved very unsa tisfactory to

Trust bank, was returning from visit
to General c. F. A. Lasts residence. He
was walking along Seventh street and at
the corner of Seventh and Bonnie Brae

where the light from the electric lamp

time.

Mr.. Off did not spend any more time in

shot out from the shoulder and there
was steam behind it, striking the mar
with the gun on the wrist of his pisto

Dairy Stock Feed

Mr.. H. z. Cook, an able dairyman OF
New York, urges more attention to feed
ing dairy cattle. He sensibly advises
variation of rations to different animals
He says the different animals of the herd
crave different food and thrive best
when individual tastes are met. None
of US can doubt if we but stop to think
of our own experiences that there is
much of truth in this. 1t may be doubted,
however, if it is practicable to act upon
this suggestion in case we are manag-
ing large dairy herd.
Mr.. Cook also states that the quality
of milk, as to the percentage of butter
pats, is not changed by change of food.
This has long been affirmed by some of
the best agricultural and physiological
chemists. But we rarely find practical
farmer that accepts the proposition.
For the most part they know it is not
true"
