Called From Earth to Heaven.

The friends of Mr.. and Mrs. w. A.
Britt svmpathize with them in the
death of their infant son Hilary Basil,
which occurred after brief illness at
= o'clock Sunday morning. Aged
hut months and 10 days he flashed
like raw of sunshine into the home
and hearts of parents and grand
parents, but in that little while his
life had become entwined with theirs
and they had been drawn to him by
tendrils of loving affection. 1t is sad
thus to give up our cherished ones
and only those who have passed
through similar experiences know
what it is. The friends who saw the
sweet baby face, with its features
still in the sleep of death as the lit
tie form lay nestled in the tiny soft
white casket, and felt the silent grief
of the bereaved ones. will not soon
forget the touching scene. Sunday
afternoon the little body was laid
away in the cemetery beside little
sister and brother who also had died
at tender age.

A kiondike Arrival at Barnes Cloth
Ing Store.


Overcoats and hot weather are not
supposed to 60 together, but the case
IN point is an exception. Tuesday
was one OF the hottest DAYS of the
season and on that day Lewis Barnes
got In a cargo of oyercoats. Think
OF opening and displaying overcoats
on July day-and such a dav as
Tuesday! But this enterprising
young merchant knows what he is
DONG and to question as to his
sanity he merely replied, Il am not
as big a fool as you take me for"
An investigation into the prices paid
Tor these and other winter clothing
revealed the fact that Mr.. Barnes was
correct. He certainly knew what he
was doing when he took advantage Of
the great bargains offered in this line
OF goods regardless of the season or
the state OF the weather, for as he
says goods bought right will sell
themselves. And they were bought
low enough to enable them to give
themselves away almost.
But 1t is not Overcoats alone YOU
will find rare bargains in at Barnes
Clothing Store. He has a splendid
line OF summer wear of every descrip-
ton for men, youths and BOYS, and
as he does not propose carrying over
single article of the kind if it can
be avoided they will be offered at

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1898-03-30
Hays The
Scapegoat.
The Mankato Conference Ends IN Row
and All the Blame Attaches to.
Weaver and Hays.
The Entire Proceedings characterized
by Unfair Rulings and
Bitter Debates.
As Result the Republican Organization
is Said to be About as symmet-
real as Scrambled Egg.

The much -heralded Mankato confer
ence. called by 81. G.. Hays as secretary
pro tenn. of committee that had no
actual existence, turned out to be just
what the people of Brown county ex-
pected.
They knew we'll enough that H. G.
Hays in the role of reformer could be
nothing more than farce, and that
when he summoned together the Re-
publican chieftans of this great con-
gressonal district, it was for no other
purpose than to knock down one ma
chine that he might set up another.
They felt too that he wasn't alone in
the scheme, and the conference having
been held they know now that their
surmises were correct.
For some reason or another, II. G..
Hays has been turned down by the
state administration. He is sore. If he
wasn't he would never have called the
Mankato conference.
Nor was he the only one. 1t so
happened that there were other men
who were sore-Ed Weaver, for in
stance, who had all along expected the
administration support for governor,
and, when he didn't get it, turned rebel
to Clough.
There lies the secret. Weaver con-
celved the conference; Hays was good
man to use as a scapegoat.
He should call the conference. If it
proved failure, the blame would rest
with him; if it turned out success,
Weaver would be the hero.
And it turned out failure.
That's why II. G. Hays is being de-
nounced today by leading republicans
all over the district and roasted in every
county as a breeder of 1lsharmony and
a man who was trying to feather his
own nest under the guise of an appeal
for reform.
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1898-03-30

If the people of the other counties
had known Hays as well as he is known
at home, they would have been spared
the humiliation of conference that
wound up in row. They would have
left the Sleepy Eye "reformer" severely
alone.
The Review was not represented at the
gathering, but so well is it acquainted
with the methods of Brambel's pro-
moter that it has selected the review of
the Minneapolis Times as being the
briefest and the best. 1t is as follows:
Gar Reed can die in peace and be
gathered to his fathers, for there is a
man in Mankato who can fill his place
and have talent left. His name is Funk
w. A. Funk. Mr.. Funk was the
temporary and permanent chairman of
the much advertised conference Of the
republicans cf the second congressional
district. He was the cut-and-dried
candidate selected by Weaver, Hunt and
Hays, after it was settled that Senator
Miller would not honor the meeting with
his presence.
H. G. Hays Of Sleepy Eye, who will
go down in history as 'secretary pro
tenn of committee whose origin and
membership is still shrouded in mys-
terry, called the conference to order.
He read the call, and no sooner had he
uttered the last word than E. G. Hunt
ington Of Window was on his feet and
nominated MIR. Funk for chairman.
There was no opposition and he was
elected unanimously. Mr.. Hays was as
easily chosen secretary.
Then the fun began. Professor j. S.
Carlson of Gustavus Adolphus college
at st. Peter, man with Websterian
brow and voice, arose and wanted bill
of particulars. He was anxious to find
OuG "llO CdllcO tllt COuVcutlOu duO GuC
reason therefor. Mr.. Funk SAID he was
unable to answer these questions, but
Mr.. Hays was equal to the occasion.
He said the object of the conference
was to consult for the good of the party
and that he had consulted with three
leading republicans in each county in
the district.
j. A. Everett Of Martin county and
W. r. Estes of Watonwan county
asked who the three republicans IN
their respective counties were who had
been consulted.
Here was where Funk began to he
'.good." He promptly ruled the ques-
tions out Of order as calling for infor-

quent speech against the resolution, and
closed BY moving that they lie upon the

|quent speech against the resolution, and
closed by moving that they lie upon the
table.
This provoked another outbreak. a
viva voce vote was taken and Funk, as
was expected, declared the motion lost.
a division was called for. Alex Fiddes
of Jackson and DR.. Andrews of Blue
Earth, who had been appointed tellers,
spent about half an hour in counting
hands, and the announcement was made
that the motion was lost by vote Of 20
to ~. This was so manifestly unjust
that the opposition rose en- masse and
left the hall. I'm the hubbub that fol-
lowed Funk declared the resolutions
carried, together with u motion that the
chair appoint u committee of three to
confer with leading republicans of the
other districts in regard to calling SINH
lar conferences. He announced that he
would select this committee at his leis-
ure and the celebrated conference was
declared adjourned sine die.
Its like was never before seen in this
state and it will be impossible to dupli-
cate it. The opposition to the objects
of the convention were clearly in the
majority. Their voices were stifed by
the action of an unfair presiding officer
chosen to do a job already cut out for
him. The result was mob aud the
instigation of a feeling that will very
much weaken the republican party IN
the entire state. *a

Jerry J. on the Fight.

Jerry j., the shrewd observer of af-
fairs political, was present at the con-
ference, and in giving his view of the
meeting aud its promoters to the Mime
apolis journal, he draws the following
conclusions: ~.s~,..
The chief promoters of the conference
will be made the scapegeats. Upon
them will descend the wrath of the dis
trict. It would be cruel, and possibly
not strictly true, to say that, these men
were dead politically as result of yes.
terda;'s work, and yet that is exactly
what is being said by scores of men from
all parts of the district. In the excite
ment of the moment. they possibly are
overdrawing the picture, but it is entire
ly within the bounds of truth to say
that these promoters do not stand as
we'll in the district now as they did be-
fore the Mankato fiasco came about Ed
Weaver, particularly, has come in for a
heavy burden of censure, probably be-
cause he tried to make it appear, by
staying away from. the conference hall,
and in other ways, that he was not con-
nected with the conference manage.
ment. His loud and frequently repeat
ed statements of non-participation did
not cut much figure with scores oe men
who saw him around the Saulpaugh
on Monday night, up to and after IL
O'Clock, one of the most active men Of
the preliminary advisory committee Of
twenty-five, which tried to agree upon q
program for the next day. This, added
to his public attitude of opposition tc
the Clough-Van SAINT alliance every where
over the district, and b e mission.
arY work in behalf of the conference
which he is known to have done, didn'l
leave much chance for the men to whom
he made his disclaimer Yesterday to take
him at his word.
Just where H. G. Hays will wind up
as result of the failure of the confer.
ence to do the work which had been
promised The state in its name, cannot
be known at present. He Is criticized
almost as harshlY as Weaver; these two
are standing the brunt of the attack.
General J.. 81. Baker it Is useless ia
say anything against. He is not in pol
tics, is not after anything Ut the hands
Of the republican party, and there is no
opportunity to ssget back 'Sat him. So
also with 1. P. Hunt, SO far as the
..getting back" process is concerned.
He has 9 Iour-year place as postmaster
Iof Mankato, and probably feels that he
cannot be harmed by anything that
may be said about him as one Of the
conference promoters.
Next to Weaver and Hays, Chairman
Funk of the conference comes il for the
most Aroasting. 2 His rulings were far
from being impartial, and blind man
could have seen which side had his sym
pathies.
