New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1902-11-05

There is some agitation going on re-
garding the proposed reduction of the
city rate for the use of electricity from
121 to 10 cents or less, the evident puI-
pose being to get the price down to that
of the old company or below it. A
move of this Kind is very foolish. The
rate is new SO low that the city is loosing
money in the operation of its plant. IL
cents is the average rate in all cities
operating their own plants and it is as
low as any plant can be operated and re-
turn anything to the city. The plant
cannot be expected to pay the city any,
thing the first year, indeed 1t would be
surprising it had the city no opposition,
it could come out at the end of the first
year with q favorable showing, but un-
der the present conditions the people
must expect to see large deficit even
under the most economical management.
The reduction of the rate will avail
nothing, for the minute that is done the
other company will meet the reduction
and the last condition will be worse than
the first. It would be better to raise the
rate. The deficiency will have to met
IN some way and if it is not payed for
in the price of the lamps it will have to
he met in the tax levy next year. You
see it is rapidly resolving itself to the
condition predicted by the Review when
the city rejected the offer of the old
plant to sell out. The city would still
be money ahead if it could buy up the
old plant and shut it down. A whole
lot of money can be lost in fifteen years
of com petition. Since the above was put
in type the city has decided to cut down
the rate. They seem to be unmln,1ful of
the fact that public institutions of this
Kind are forbidden by the laws Of the
state to operate at a loss.

Rummage Sale.

The, ladies of the Congregational
church call attention to the fact that
they will hold their rummage sale of
secondhand goods in the old Olsen build

Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Nov.
9th, 18th and 9th. This will give all
those who are looking for bargains a
chance to get what they are looking for.
Much that the ladies are offering is of
considerable worth more than will be
realized, on it. In fact it often happens
at such sales as this that the. real value
Of an article Is lost sight of in the desire
to turn it into money and the purchaser

Gideon's Tip-Top Show
Excellent Performance May be Expected
at the Turner Theatre next Sunday.

Gideon's Ministries, who are to occupy
the boards at the Turner Theatre next
Sunday evening, are without question
the largest and most up-to-date colored
minstrel organization now before the
public. The Moline Daily Journal of
Moline, ILL.,, speaking of their recent ap-
.pearance there pays them the following
handsome tribute;
8 "Seldom has Minstrel troupe given
such satisfaction in Moline as did Gid
cons troupe o. minstrels at the Wagner
Opera House last evening. A packed
house greeted the troupe and the ap-
planse which echoed and re-echoed
through the house during the perform
ance attested the appreciation of the
vast crowd. The company is certainly
the best that has visited Moline for
many years and where the merits of the
aggregation are known the people will
flock to pass q pleasant evening. The
opening part consisted of a decidedly
unique stage setting, something entirely
new and original, special drops being
carried for carrying out the effects, aud
colored lncandescent lights were used in
the arrangement. The solos were all
we'll rendered and each participant was
forced to respond several times to the
tumultuous applause which greeted
their efforts. The grand finale of the
first part was also new, aud the new
jokes, songs, etc, all combined to make

It is humiliating confession that the:
library board is compelled to make re-
garding the condition Of that institution.
Were it not for the fact that the library,
is patronized BY the people of the city
5proportionately as much as the libraries
Of any ether place the board would not
hesitate moment in its resolutions to
close the place to the public ana dispose
of the books. The care of the place and
the expense of keeping it open with no
definite means of obtaining financial as
sistance is constant source of worry to
those who have the care of it and it Is
not to be wondered at that they are often
discouraged. An appeal has been made
to the public to rally to the support of
the institution and this has in measure
becn responded to By the literary socle-
ties, but it takes more than this to keep
the work up. The board has exhausted
the means at its commands and it now
rests with the people whether or not the
place will be kept open. A contract has
been entered into with an entertainment
bureau to furnish q certain number Of
entertainments these will have to be
taken and it is hoped that they will at
least be patronized to The extent that the
board will not have to make up any
deficiencies.

Some men think it impossible to get first
class shoe for $3-but they don't know and
won't know any better until they come here
and find out.
People wonder how we can sell such good
shoes SO cheap. It's simple.
4 The more shoes you make the less they cost
the more you sell the less it costs to sell each
shoe. The maker scales down his profits per
pair; so do we-and the price of the shoe to
you comes down. Nothing is sacrificed. The
leather is as good as though you paid more;
the making is right, so are the styles. Now,
sir, investigate our s. shoe assertion.

Daniel Webster did o possess one
of the attributes of a popular leader
The very greatness of his abilities
raised him far above the mass of men
and put him out OF touch with them.
He inspired awe. but not affection. No
mortal man ever thought OF coupling
his name with any thought of popular
endearment. Jackson was old Hick-
ory,' "Old Roman; Harrison was
odd Tip. Clay was Harry of the
West" THE Mill Boy of the Slashes';
and Taylor odd Rough and Ready >,
but the senator from Massachusetts
was the Honorable Daniel Webster"
to his dying day. Even the cartoon
lists could find no other name for him
than BLACK Dan" It was to Rough
and Ready" therefore, and not to
Daniel Webster, that the Wing masses
turned in 1913. when they were done

ANY NUMBER oFANTI-FATPEoPLE

The anti-fesh people are mighty
scarce. When it comes to losing good
solid flesh from any cause there Is a
general protest. Losing flesh means
weakness, nervousness, lack of ambi-
ton, loss of confidence, and a pale, sal
low, or yellow complexion. Then comes
sickness with the pain and misery, as
well as the worry of expense and doc
tor bills. Persons who realize that they
are losing flesh would do well to act
in time, so as to avoid the coming
weakness. The food they eat wants to
be turned into strong, rich blood. this
makes solid flesh and muscle and the
best medicine for this is DR.. Gums
Blood and Nerve Tonic,t to tablet to take
after meals. People who have used
this Tonic tell us that they have gained
from / to 8 lbs. per week, Of good solid
flesh and of course constantly gained
in health and strength. This Tonic is
sold by all druggists for rs cts. per
box, or 3 boxes for $500, or sent post
paid on receipt of price. Write us
about any weakness you may have;
perhaps the advice we give you may be
all you need, this costs you nothing.

making additions to their already vast
works, that will cost ten million dol
lars and give employment to 5000 more
men. This company is now n of the
largest iron manufacturing concerns
in the world. At Colorado Springs
new reduction works are under way
that will cost several millions Of dol
lars and employ thousands Of men.
There are several things to be credited
with this happy condition Of affairs.
First may be mentioned the pros
perity Of the agricultural interests.
The wide-awake, progressive farmers
of the country are just beginning to
learn that the only scientific way OF
farming is by irrigation. Not only
are crops rendered surer, but the pro-
duction per acre Is enormously IN
creased, while the market reports show
that as far as quality is concerned,
grain, vegetables and fruit Of all kinds
are UNNECESSARILY superior to those
grown in more humid regions. The de-
velopment Of irrigation enterprises is
therefore proceeding at a rapid pace.

the larger streams vas long ago all
appropriated, while vast quantities ran
away in the winter and early sp' ing
unused. Hundreds OF storage reser-
voirs have already been constructed to
hold these surplus waters until needed
and many more are now in process OF
construction. Some of these are very
costly. One Is being built near Fort
Collins that will cost 5000, 600, and
Lake Cheeseman. near Denver, is about
completed at a cost of over a million.
The latter will be a lake of no inron-
siderable size. in fact will be the lsrg-
est body of water in the state. These
various reservoirs permit the cultiva-
ton of hundreds of thousands of acres
that would otherwise remain a barren
desert. Already Colorado has passed
California in the number of acres cul-
tivated by irrigation and is of course
a long way ahead Of any other state or
territory.
And what enormous crops are raised
on these lands! Fifty bushels OF wheat
to the acre, foul hundred bushels Of
potatoes. eight to ten tons of alfalfa
