eNpend a total Of $4,000, 600 in support
of the louisiana Purchase Exposition
which is to commemorate the centen-
NAL anniversary of the most import
ant event in the history of the great
American republic, with the possible

of J. Klossner on New Years day by
Miss Schoch, Miss Troupe and the Miss.
IS Klossner. The young ladies were as

served frappe il, the parlor. Miss Eva
Klossner sang and Miss Schosh recited,
while Mrs. a. W. Bingham presided at
the piano and Mr.. Louis Ambrosch en-
tertained with his violin. The dining
room was very Hastily decorated with
smilax and carnations and the effect
was heightened by having the rooms
darkened and lighted with candles. Be-

ANNUAL MEETING.
Congregational Church Holds its An
nual Meeting. Election of Off
GERS, Reports Of Society.
REV. UPDYkE'Sslst YEARS WORK.
Balance Of Cash in Favor Of Church.
Societies in Good Condition.
Sunday School Increased.

The annual meeting of the First Con
gregational church Of this city was held
in the church building on Thursday
night last. There was representative
attendance and representation from all
the auxiliaries Of. the church with COM
plete reports of the years work. The
meeting was opened with singing and,
prayer, after which Rev. S. G. Updyke
was elected moderator and the election
of officers was begun. Alex Russell was
elected deacon to succeed himself for
three years. Alex Ottomeyer was re-
elected treasurer, making the fifteenth
year he has held that position. A. w
Bingham was elected trustee to succeed
himself, E.. T. Critchett was re elected
superintendent of the Sunday school
with G. A. Ottomeyer as assistant. The
finance committee is the same as last
year, being H. T.. Beecher, N, Henning-
sen and G. A. Ottomeyer. Alex Otto
meyer and W. G.. Little were put ir,
charge of the music and prudential
committee consisting of Mesdames Web
Der, Mowery and Hubbard.
The various societies connected with
the church made their annual reports
and without exception they showed that
all expenses had been met and there was
small balance to the credit of the
church. But the most surprising and
pleasing part of the report was that of
the trustees who reported through Mr..
Critchett that they had entered into ne
gotiat1ons for the purchase of the par
sonage and upon the first of April would
be able to pay at least $500 on the pur-
chase price. 1t was not generally known
that any action had been taken and the
result was received with universal de.
light.
The past year shows that the church
property has been improved by the addi,
ton Of electric lights, a new carpet has
been put on the auditorium, the build
ing has been painted and other smaller
improvements made. The cost of this
being betrayed mostly by the ladies' So
cieties. All together the year is looked
upon as the most successful in the his
tory of the church.

ADVERTISING SCHEMES.
Merchants Condemn Them and Will
Stick to Newspapers.

The Retail Merchants Protective as
ISOLATION of Dunkirk, N. Y, has resolv-
ed ito refrain in the future from pat
ronizing so called fake advertising
schemes" A correspondent of the
Dunkirk Observer says that at the
meeting at which the resolution was
adopted several prominent merchants
took the occasion to point out the con-
tinual drain on their advertising ap-
preparations made necessary by the
ease with which schemers talked the
average merchant into taking space
and spending money in all sorts Of
"speciaP' mediums. One man told Of
being solicited recently for an ,adver-
tisement in a hotel register, a place
where it would be practically worth
less. Another said he had been asked
to take space in a racing meet pro-
gramme equally valueiess. Others cit
ed many schemes, such as hotel bust
ness directories, desk blotters. dance
and theater programmes, fair t1iers, To-
cal time tables. etc.
One merchant gave as his opinion
that had he allowed himself to take
space in every worthless scheme Of
this Kind presented to him in the past
year he would have speEt' nearly the
entire profit Of his business with all
most no return.
Others gave their experiences, and
when many had spoken surprising
unanimity of opinion was found as to
the lack Of any returns from advertis-
ing outlay in these schemes and the
much greater returns secured from a
fair use of space in the home newspa-
pers, which go to the homes and are
read by all the members of the family.

THE GARBAGE EVIL.
How the Suburbs of a City Are Usu-
ally Neglected..

How the Suburbs of a City Are Usu-
ally Neglected.
There is great field for immediate
work in the identifying Of the city by
the suppression Of the unsightly OBJ
jects which give so many parts Of it "a
chaotic and ugly look. The suburbs of
a city have always gone to extremes Of
elegance or ugliness. At one extreme is
the fashionable residence suburb, at
the other that dreadful No Mans Land
where ashes and tomato cans run riot
and the advertiser does his. direct
. work. AS the city has increased in
population this squalid side of its life,
shamefacedly pushed half out Of sight,
has grown in offensiveness. There IS
need of better system, of closer
watch on the waste land, Of careful
supervision of the disposition of ref
use. The work Is done too carelessly.
Fire, the great purifying agent. is not
used freely enough.
The scavenger work Of q city ought
to be done ais neatly as the work Of a
well ordered household. What can be
burned should be reduced to ashes and
the rest disposed Of as thoroughly as
may be. Private collections Of tomato
cans and bottles along the roadside are
unspeakably shiftless. The disposition
of such refuse should be In the hands
OF responsible agents.
Where nature Is left alone she pro-
5yides the city with a natural park OF
limitless extent, fresh. green and beau
tiful, and city should run into country
gently and tremendously, with no hid
eous cirScumYallent rampant Of cans
and bottles and discarded umbrellas
and bicycles to show that only man is

FEEDER AL BJJII DING,
New UIm Mill Come In Under the New
Bill fora Government T ost
Office Building.

Senator Peterson at last has the salts.
faction Of seeing his memorial, passed
By the Legislature last winter, acted mp
on by the authorities at Washington,and
the outcome will probably be that i bill
will pass giving post Office buildings to
cities having second class offices. This
will entitle New Ulm to that privilege.
It will be remembered that memorial
asking for the above legislation was
drafted BY Mr.. Peterson at the last SEES
sion of the Legislature and this has
brought fruit. The New Ulm post Office
has shown such favorable increase IN
its receipt this yearth that there is notsthe
question of doubt but that as soon as
the bill shall have passed in congress
the city will be IN line for the bnildirg.
Mr.. Peterson is very confident Of this
and is naturally we'll pleased. The As
sociated press reports from Washington
give the following: s... $.
r Chairman Mercer will soon call a
meeting Of the house public building
committee to decide upon the policy to
be pursued during the present session.
The impression is general that an omni-
bus building bill of generous proper
tons will he passed at this session. This
is hased+on the strong demand for such
legislation and the approval Of the lead
ers to the passage of such u bill.
Attention is called to the fact that,
with one or two exceptions, all the large
cities of the country have been provided
with public buildings, and particular at
tention can now be devoted to the claims
OF cities of the smaller class. The sug-
gestion that NO bills should he passed
fol cities under 5000 population, is not
to be adopted, as it is found that, in
making up the "poel' for this .legisla.
tion,it is absolutely necessary to ap-
prove number of bills for several small
towns. There has been some interesting
discussion among members of the public
buildings committee as t. the policy of
congress in dealing with legislation Of
this character.
The suggestion has been made that the
treasury would ultimately be the gamer
if a public building were constructed in
every town having a presidential post
Office. This has been discussed for some
years, and, while the tendency is in this
direction, no such policy will be adopt
ed in the near future. The determine
ton of the leaders to approve the pass:
age of an omnibus bill insures the con-
struction of number Of federal build
ings in towns Of the Northwest.

cred stalks by the tops and lift them
from the earth, and with rapid and
skillful motions shake the dirt there
from, trim the roots and tops with
knives made for the purpose, and lay
the stalks to one side of the row where
the packers find them and tie them into
bundles and put them in crates ready
for shipment. The harvest begins in
October and lasts till we'll toward the
spring. AS the rainy season begins
about November 1, it will be seen that
the most of this work takes place at
the most disagreeable season of the
year. Day after day the yellow men
drag their mud-laden feet up and down
the long rows, and amid the pelting,
chilly rains work steadily and uncom-
plainingly on, receiving at the end of
the week a pittance the white man
would scorn; and yet, most Of these
laborers have a comfortable bank ac-
count.

from the "everlasting hills" Thus ma
ture has formed one of the best soils
that could be found for the purpose
for which it is now being used. At
ter the last Of the crop has been taken
from the fields, the ground is plowed
and sown to barley. Just before plant
ing time, the barley, which has by this
time attained rank growth, is plow-
ed under and it's luxuriance goes to en-
rich the soil and minister to the de-
mands Of the new celery crop.
Last seasons output of celery from
this erstwhile bog was fully 1,200 cars.
AS each car holds $50 crates and each
crate contains six dozen stalks, it will
be seen that the product of the swamp
reached nearly 100000 stalks. This
brought in the markets more than
100000, fully one-half Of which found
it's way into the pockets Of the grow
ers. Truly a handsome sum to pull
from the cozy mud of a peat bog.

THE STRAWS OF DEATH.

@HE regiment was settling down
for the night with some grum-
q bling and much profane jesting,
for Western volunteers possess sense
of humor superior to the most trying
conditions. Somewhere in the dark
ness in front, the Filipinos were taking
pot shots between their cigarettes, as
an occasional zeu! attested.
There go the typewriters." cried a
young private. Firing at firefies, as
usual. No sleep tonight"
"Typewriters" was a contemptuous
appellation given to the Fourteenth
Regulars, because the popping of their
magazine guns in the distance slightly
resembled the noise of the machine of
peace
Put your mouth on the safety notch" "
ordered the captain from the right of
the company. They're sending out the
outpostS Get their bearings, SO that
you can shoot around them if the ball
opens up"
Two men were receiving final instruc-
tions from the colonel previous to ven
turing into the hostile country in front.
Sneak out about two hundred yards,
ordered the officer, land lie low. If you
see any signs of an attack, try to get
back and warn us. If you can't get
back, YOU must warn us somehow, and
take your chances. No need to tell you
to be careful. You hold the lives of
many men in your hands. Good luck,
boys"
This sort of work Is called Cossack
outpost duty, and men detailed upon 1t
should not be men of family or nerves.
\ few nights previously two nervous
men were detailed upon it. One of
them fired at a white pariah dog. The
shot caused the Filipinos to concentrate
a series Of volleys lasting thirty min
uteS in the direction of the outposts.
The Americans awakened from a sound
sleep and let go. several unauthorized
volleys. Consequently the two nervous
men. being between two fires, were rid
died with two kinds of ammunition.
The two men detailed for this even
ing's work were of different mettle
one, with a reckless laugh. With the
easy nOnchaiance OF veterans they gave
the rifle salute, and. sliding over the
top of the trench, disappeared into the
night.
There go two good men," observed
the colonel.
The two men tiptoed across the dry
rice paddles, each holding his rifle al
the ready. There was no sound ex
cept the occasional hiss of a random
bullet or the faint and distant pop of /:
rifle.
Guess this is far enough" said on,
of the men. ut length: here is a little

on the ground facing the enemy's ter
.itory.
