New Arlnor Plate Process.

Some mention has been made lately in
foreign papers of Il new process for max
ing armor plate, which is said to pro-
ducc a harder and better plate than the
nickel-steel treated by the Harvey
process, which has heretofore given the
best results. The French government has
bought the right to use this process from
the inventor, but the details have been
carefully kept secret. 1t is also known
that Krupp. the great German steel
maker, has new process. which is eth

"A New Mineral Pitch,

"Maujak" is a material found in Bar
BADGES. 1t is of brilliant black color,
and is deposited in beds, from ten inches
to two feet thick, Immediately below the
solicited petroleum. and in composition
it is analogous to the Trinity island tar
and to the gilsonite of Utah and the al
BERTHE Of Canada. But it is distin-
guished by its good qualities. According
to "Wallman's Vers. Zeitung," the best
samples contain: Water, 2 per cent:
volatile organic substances, 70.S5 per
cent; solid organic substances, 1851 per
cent, and mineral substances, OILS per
cent. The Trinity tar contains p to
80 per cent. of water and IS per cent. of
ashes. Maujak is thus rich in bitumen.
and it would seem possible to utilize it
as a varnish, and as combustible when
mixed with peat. Its insulating proper

Mustered Out
By Death.
1t. Louie Mueller of the Twelfth Succumbs
to Typhoid Fever.
The End Game Three Days After His Re-
turn from Ohickamauga.

Fever, contracted in that pest hole OF
disease, Camp Thomas at Chickamauga
park, mas made its first fatal call among
the New Ulm boys, who went to the
front four months ago, and picked of
one of the brightest and most deserving
officers Of the Twelfth Minnesota.
The victim was 1t. Louie Muel :
ler, formerly of Company A, later of
Company F of St. James.
About five weeks ago, the lieutenant
was taken down with fever, and when
given his choice between going to the
division hospital or private one, he
chose the latter.
Last week he concluded that visit to
his New Ulm home would be of more
benefit to him than anything else, and
accordingly made application for thir-
ty days furlougb.
The trip, which certainly must have
been trying one for man IN his con.
dition, was made in company with 1t.
Albert Koch.
Had he not made it, he might have
been living today, but Cor his indiscre-
tion, if such it was, no blame can be at
tached to him. A man suffering from
fever is hardly to be held responsible for
errors of judgment.
When he reached here his condition
was pitiable. Weak, emaciated and worn
out with fatigue, he looked not the least
like the stout and vigorous Mueller who
marched out of town in April to join his
regiment at Camp Ramsey. Without
assistance he could not walk, and it was
with difficulty that he could even talk.
After his arrival every possible atten-
ton was given him by relatives and ply
sicians, but it was all to no purpose.
The hold which the feve- had upon him
strengthened from hour to hour, he be-
came delirious, the action of his heart
was strangely peculiar, and by Wednes
day evening it was evident that he coul6
not survive. Thursday morning at ter
o'clock he died.
The news was the occasion for uni

The Twelfth Reginent Boys Petition congress.
men to Get Them Out Of the Service.

The men of Col. Bobleter's command
are as anxious to avoid garrison duty as
any Of the rest Of the volunteer troops
recently located at Chickamauga Park.
This was evidenced last Wednesday
BY a telegram which Loren Fletcher
made public and which he followed up
with an appeal to Adjutant General Cor
bin in behalf Of the petitloning boys.
The telegram to Fletcher came front
Lexington, and stated that petition,
signed By ninety per cent Of the enlisted
men Of the Twelftb requesting that they
lie mustered out, had been sent toSenator
Nelson. The congressnan's aid il the
matter was solicited.
Fletcher at once wired Gen. Corbin at
Washington as follows 81 have just re-
(ceived request from several members
Of the Twelfth Minnesota, claiming that
ninety per cent Of the soldiers desire to
be mustered out. Thet being the case

versal grlef throughout the city, ano
when it reached the boys of his regiment
at Lexington, through telegram to the
quartermaster, it created deep and last
ing sorrow. Mueller was deservedly
popular among officers and men alike,
and they, with the public, will never be
able to forgive the military blunder that
placed the troops in the breeding
swamps of Georgia and thereby robbed
him from their ranks.
1t. Mueller was a man in the prime
and vigor of life. His military service
dates from 1889, when he enlisted as a
private in the militia company then ex-
isting at St. Peter. After serving there
for three years he came to New Ulm to
engage in business as a partner Of Jacob
Klossner Jr., and with his residence here
he renewed his militia service as mem
Der of Company A. In 1894 he was ap-
pointed second lieutenant, a position
which he retained when the first call
came for volunteers. With his captain
and others of the company he was must
cred into the volunteer service at Camp
Ramsey in April. After reaching Chick
amauga he was called upon to fill va
cancy in Company F and this gave him
the rank of first lieutenant. His motives
in going into the service of his country
were purely patriotic, and no one ever
heard that 1t. Mueller wasn't ready to
perform whatever duty was assigned to
him.
In civil life he was known as con-
servative business man AID genial and
popular fellow.
New Ulm will miss him, now that he
is mustered out of service, and life as
we'll, and they will honor him as they
have others who have fallen in response
t9 duty.
True, he never was called upon to face
an enemy ia battle, but he and all his
comrades were forced for months
to sweat under the most trying camp
duties ever imposed upon American
volunteers, suffering grave privations
through the imbecility of incompetent
officials and enduring the awful strain of
burning fevers that sapped the vigor of
life-were heroes, everyone of them, en-
titled to just as much Of our regard as
those who stormed the heights OF
Santiago or swept away the opposing
forces at Manila.

Gustav Scherz Dies From Injuries Received In .
Runaway Accident.

: ( - sE s y
Gus. Scherz, who moved from this ci-
ty to farm near Sleepy Eye, died from
the results Of q runaway accident Fri
day evening.
On Thursday the deceased visited the
farm Of Mic Baasen and purchased q
mower. Upon reaching home in the
evening, he started to unhitch the hors-
es, when something scared them and
they made a sudden and furious dash
for the barn.
Scherz was caught in the wheels of
the mower and dragged for some dis
tance until his lower limbs were all par
allied and the rest of his body badly
bruised and wounded. Severe blows
about the head also brought about un-
consciousness. Friday morning DR.. Kill
bride of Sleepy Eye visited him, and,
finding him in deplerable condition,
it was decided to remove him TO New
Ulm.
This was done Friday evening, but
just as they reached the city the wound
ed man expired.
The deceased was married man with
a family of five children. :,
He was Industrious, saving In his hab-
its and DESERVING nf tho succaac uh;ch
was rapidly rewarding his efforts.
To be taken off, therefore, in the vig-
or and strength of his best years, consti-
tutes calamity that his surviving rela-
tives cannot but help feeling deeply.
The funeral was held Sunday after
noon, and, inasmuch as the deceased was
a member IF Reuter- Lodge ., t,,is city,
the ceremonies were conducted under
the direction of that society.

ACCEPTED.
Adjutant Vogel's Resignation Accepted by the
Department, and He is Honorably
Discharged.

A dispatch from Washington on Wed.
nesday brought the news that 1t. Louis
G. Vogei's resignation as adjutant of the
Twelfth Minnesota volunteers had been
accepted and that he had been honorab-
~ discharged from the service.
1t. Vogel must have received notice
Of the acceptance some days earlier, for
on Wednesday he arrived in st. Paul and
the next day in New Ulm.
Asked If conditions at Chickamauga
had been as bad as reported, the adju-
tant said "Well, perhaps So"
'sWere they any worse2"
'sNo-there were not enough doctors
and not nearly enough nurses. OF course,
things were bad enough, but that has
nothing to do with my resigning. Our
regiment has outliyed its usefulness, and
| must attend to business, since we are
not needed by the United States
"How do the junior officers stand on
the question of disbandment?"
.'Many OF them are eager for muster
ing out, as are all of the privates. The
feeling is unanimous among the boys. I
think the new camp is much letter stu
ated. It is on plain and the climate
corresponds to this one. It is much bet
ter IN every way. Since the boys, can
net fight, US they hoped to be able to-
do, I hope they will soon be disbanded
and sent home to recuperate. They have
endured more than an enemy's s guns"
Has the regiment, or the boys any
thing to ask Of the people of the statea''
..Yes; that the people Of the state do all
in their power to secure ahospital tram
to bring the sick men home from Chicka-
.mauga. It should be attended to at once
by our people, for the boys are suffering
untold agony there
Editor Estes of the Madelia Messenger
has brought suit against Editor Sanborn
Of the Madelia Times for damages in the
sum Of 81 900. Some months ago San
born adorned the editorial columns Of his
great family journal with complimentary
remarks anent MI. Estes, one Of which
was construed by the victim to mean
that he had been guilty of arson. San
born also insinuated that Estes defraud-
I'd his creditors while in business at Ma
delis several years ago. All Of these
charges do not rest easy on the stomach
of Bro. Estes ct one and the same time,

that Sanborn Be compelled to fork over

A MOLE MADE A MOUNTAIN.

Down on the grazing lands in the
Kings City district there has been, un-
questionably, some distress due to the
drouth and the effort of the people to
raise crops on lands unsuitable for such
a purpose. But the situation has been
grossly exaggerated, and again in the
interests of sensational journalism.
Taking all reports together, all let
+ ters and all news advices, and sitting
truth from chaff and the calm mind
must reach just this conclusion: that
the Monterey County communities are
able to meet adj demands for aid and
are willing to do so; that local distress
is limited to a very small area, but
has been worked up into a sensation
and published abroad to the great in
jury Of the State
Bad news travels fast and is soon
worldwide, says an old proverb, and
1t is very true. At the East it will be
published far and wide that famine
has struck California. There will be no
fine distinctions drawn as to districts.
Pause will not be made to consider the
vast area Of the State, and that dis
fress in Monterey County relates to the
whole State about as distress in a
small village in Virginia would to the
Atlantic coast from Boston to Charles
eton, S. G.
The injury has been done. That a
few sensation mongers may revel in the
glories Of an ebulient charity trumpet
ed from the house tops with the note of
business heard upon each wave of horn
blowing. The whole State must suffer
In the estimation of our friends of the
far East California has no conceal
ments to make. Whatever the truth
concerning her seasons, her soils, her
capabilities and her invitations to
nome seekers she wants made known,
with every discouraging feature dis
tinctly breasted with every virtue and
promise. On that basis we make our
bid and on no other. But it IS simply
justice to protest against mole hills
being magnified into mountains.

THE CASE OF CONGRESSMAN
ROBERTS.

= Congressman-elect Roberts admits
that he is polygamist. He claims
that he was such when the Territory
of Utah was admitted as a State, and
that the disability clauses of the Act
of admission provide only that there
shall beeno more plural maria ges: that
.he has made none since; that he was
regularly elected and therefore he must
be accorded his seat in the House of
Representatives
Under the law making polygany an
loffense Roberts was charged, arrested,
tried, convicted and imprisoned in the
penitentiary, and it is claimed was
thereby disfranchised. But his claim
IS that the subsequent admission of
Utah as a State restored to him all his
civil rights. To this it is replied that
he has continued in his offending, and
that Congress cannot accept man as
q member who thus defies the law Con-
gress itself passed.
Above and beyond this is the moral
question of permitting a polygamist to
sit in the House. Doubtless worse men
than Roberts will hold seats in the next
Congress; men who are less true to
their wives and less regardful Of the
moral code. But they at least do not
defy Congressional enactment. nor do
they pose as defenders of and believers
in a system which the nation has de-
rlared to be obnoious and criminal.
8 Since the nation through its legislative
body has declared against polygamy
and admitted Utah as a State under ex-
press condition that such reproach
should be wholly removed and no more
obtain, TO admit a poIygamist to the
seat Of legislation VIII be to practi-
cally nulify the declaration Of admis-
sion, and to restore the old conditions.
If a poiygamous Congressman may
be accepted as a national legislator to
aid in making laws, why should there
be raised any objection to others Of
