lady's carriage, for there are separate drive
ways for such vehicles, and clean out of
sight.
The ground plan of one of these big costly
apartments is as intricate as that of a coun-
try house. There are foyer halls, passage
ways, arches and alcoves, bay window con
Eervatories, floors of hardwood or mosaic,
mail chutes, telephones, hot and cold water,
hot and cold air, gas and electric ranges:
two to three bath rooms, with separate
servants toilets and elevators; a blessed
plenty of closets for every conceivable
need; open fireplaCes, brave in tilework and
brasses; mirrors wherever they should be.
and occasionally where they should not, and
walls hung with whatever stun the fancy of
the occupant may demand. Nearly always
the windows supply enchanting outlooks.
Rents rise with the floors. The higher
one goes, the more one pays. The con-
struction is supposed to be fircproof, a fact
that is largely considered in the rents.
Some few of the houses have automobile
rooms in the basement and charge batter
les from the surplus of their electric plants
when lights are not required. Nearly all
have perfectly equipped laundries independ-
ent of the tubs in each kitchen. Store
rooms are, of course, provided. But guest
apartments are rather new. These are
suites set apart to be rented in single rooms
to tenants Hospitality inclined, but who lack
space for guests. Servants quarters out
side of and apart from the main manege
recommend themselves as an innovation
equally desirable. So do the sun parlors
which crown some of the roofs. These fur
nish excellent play places for little folks
and old folks in stormy weather.
Everywhere there is a laudable attempt
to let in the light and make the most of it.
In the upper streets and avenues Of New
York, which are almost solidly apartment
built, one sees nearly every imaginable de-
vice for ventilation and brightness. The
days of the air-shaft are plainly numbered.
Even in tenement construction there is a
chance that the central court may GUST it.

what put out of court by the bronze and
jewel glass enclosing them.
The building is about an open court,
glass rooted in winter. 1t has, besides the
great stairway, back stairs and two electric
elevators-one for the master, one for the
servants. In the basement there is a
complete electric plant for lighting, laun-
dry work, some special cooking and the
recharging of automobile batteries. There
is also an automobile room, big enough
to hold a dozen machines. 1t is below
street level and the gay-colored monsters
ride up and down upon a special lift all
their own.
The big kitchen, which matches and bal
ances in a way, the electric plant, has a
cold-storage chamber attached, and is
hoored with tile, walled with vitrifed brick
and furnished throughout in black real
English oak. All the cooking vessels are
of brass, copper, silver or vitrihed china.
To make use of them there are a chef
(whose salary approaches that of a diplo-
matt, two masculine under cooks-one es-
p~ecially for bread and pastry a woman
vegetable cook, a kitchen ho~usekeeper and
a brace of scullery maids. Altogether the
number of servants is between thirty and
forty, without counting the companion, two
private secretaries and the almoner, who
dispenses charity and investigates such APP
peals for aid as'are not upon the surface
fraudulent. The electric engineer lives
outside, although his helper is reckoned
among the household staff.
Truly up-to-uate housekeeping apart
ments offer all the discomforts of a home,
along with the splendors of a hotel. Incl
dentally, there are also many comforts.
One can have apartments of two stories.
There is an imposing entrance. Light and
air are in bewildering plenty. Some big
houses are built around a great central
court with four passenger elevators, one in
each court corner. Others are in shape

Germany is not as good as it was one
month ago. Primary receipts for last
week we're noticeably smaller than for
the same period last year. There has
been an excellent cash demand for all
grades of wheat. Bradstreet's experts
for the week were 4,O95,00O bu., and the
visible supply decreased 9S8,000 bu.
Sales for export are small. The news

Prison Twine.
Price for the Coming Season has been
Fixed at 9 IL cents.

According to reports in the daily pa
pers the price of prison twine has been
fixed for the coming year at 81 cents per
pound which IS an advance of two cents
over last years price. Mr., Welfer ex-
plains that the advance is due to the
prevailing high price of fiber. It is es-
timated that the twine output of the
prison for the season will aggregate
6,5OO,00O pounds. Twine will be sold
in small cash orders and club orders to
the farmers up to May 1st, and the state
will then begin selling to dealers. Mr..
Wolfer says that 100000 pounds of
twine will be retained with which to fill
small cash orders, as provided by law.
The factory is now running at its full
capacity and is turning out $4,000
pounds per day. Every machine will
be kept humming until the close of the
twine season, aud Warden Wolfer ex-
poets that every pound of twine will
have been sold long before the harvest
begins.

On Friday morning Mrs. J. P. Liesen-;
field died at the home of her daughters,
Mrs. Theodore Waibel in the town of
Cottonwood, at the advanced age of rs
years. She had been ill for sometime
and death was due principally to paraly-
sis. Her husband died just year ago
in this city.
Mrs. Liesenfeld was one of those good
souls whose presence in a community is
always for the best and whom all hold in
fond esteem. She came with her husband
to this country from Prussia in 1855 and
for four years lived IN Illinois coming to
New Ulm IN 1859 and took up home
stead in the town of Slegel where they
lived until within few years when they
moved into this city. They were among
those who passed through the Indian
massacre and walked almost the entire
distance to st. Peter when driven from
their farms. Eight children were born
to them all of whom are living. They
are John of Usage, Mimi, Jacob, of Com
frey, Mrs. Mary Frash, Comfrey, Mrs.
Emma Haas, Lamberton, Henry, Peter
and Mrs. Katherine Waibel and Mrs.
Anna Waibe! of Cottonwood. ALI of
whom were present at the funeral which
took, place on Monday from the home of
her daughter in Cottonwood. Interment
was in the Catholic cemetery Rev. Father
Sandmeyer officiating. A large number

mains to their resting place.
