MR.. JEROME
New York District Attorneys Views
ON Prevalence Of Grating.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
Everybody who has thought at all about
public life in this country has been APP
palled by the soddenness which is the gen.
eral rule in federal, State and local off,
Gals. All legislative bodies are viewed by
the public with suspicion of grating. There
are exceptional men, but there is a feeling
in the community that there is grating all
along the line, and therefore the cook is
DESTROYS of getting the best Of the grocer
and the latter is striving to get the best
of the wholesale dealer, and the grocer has
to charge double price to give the cook a
rakeoff. This feeling of the community has
developed into the apprehension that in
State. federal or local ssemblies men are
influenced not by the highest consideration
When 1 asked myself why public life was
thus debauched 1 came to the conclusion
that it was only the reflection of private
life, and 1 feel that these present labor
difficulties are the best demonstration of
the ~soundness of this view. Witness the
grating laborer and the grating employer,
as exposed to-day.
Let me give you an example. My atten-
ton was called recently to the case of a
large concern manufacturing tin goods.
lQet put III DIS THEIR superintendent a man
of professional training and education who
had met reverses in other business. He
built up the business and made money for
the concern, which had been organized by
his friends for his benefit. but one day he
came to them and, to their surprise, said:
seYou will either nave to go out of business
or get a new superintendent" When they
asked him for his reasons he said: II can
make tin cans IN any quantity and operate
your plant successfully, but to do it 1 have
got to bride the superintendent Of every
canning factory in the country, and / can
not stand for 1t. / was bred a gentleman,
and the whole thing is repugnant TO me-"
Then the concern was sold out to the can
ming trust
Now that isn't a single Instance. A large
manufacturer of oil told me he would un-
dertake to provide lubricants for any rail-
road system in the country of more than
two thousand miles OF track for 70 per cent.
of what it cost them now. pay So, 200 for
the contract, and make money.

There will be no moro international
races. Our yacht builders have reached
the end of their resources"
This twenty years hence.
But you don't mean to say that a yacht
of sixteen ounces displacement carrying
nine square miles of sail and costing four
billions of dollars is the highest possible
achievement? ?"
Practically, yes. They can doubtless cut
the displacement down an ounce or two
and increase the sail by a square mile or
so, but they cant push the cost up another
dollar"

Bells Scared Burglars.

Gen. Joseph Bobleter,s cashier of the
Brown County bank, received a tele-
phone message from Lam berton Friday
morning informing him that an attempt
was made the night before to rob the
State Bank of Wabasso. The bur-
glars entered the directors room but in
digging through the wall of the vault
the automatic burglar alarm was set
off as soon as they touched the lining.
Frightened out of their wits at the
racket they stirred up, the marauders
took to their heels, leaving their jim
mics and other tools lying upon the
floor of the bank. A team which they
are supposed to have used was found
loose in the fields near Lamberton and
the authorities there communicated
with Gen. Bobleter, requesting him to
have the police keep a sharp watch for
suspicious characters. The bank which
came so near being plundered belongs
to the Gold-Stabeck people Of Red
wood Falls, who had another of their
branches at Vesta robbed last spring.
It was equipped with the same burglar
alarms which are in use in the three
New Ulm banks and in this instance
the device appears to have been sue.

HUNDRED AND ONE YEARS
Mother of Well Known ST. Peter Man
Attains Great Age.

A recent issue of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat contained an interesting
dispatch from New Albany, Ind. It
had reference to Mrs. Sarah Rumley,
mother..of Col. VIM. Gresham, the we'll
known st. Peter man, and was as fol
lows:
In the same house where she has
lived for more than seventy-six years,
Mrs. Sarah Rumley, mother of the late
w alter @. Gresham, secretary Of state
under President Cleveland, recently
celebrated the 1O1st annivers airy of her
birth. A fine dinner was spread for
nearly 100 guests, all Mrs. Rumley's
near relatives.
Despite her great age, Mrs. Rumley
is still active and vigorous. One year
ago she prepared a fine birthday dinner
unaided for a number of guests. She
still lives on farm, to which she came
a bride more than seventy-six years
ago, the old house being a part of the
one prepared for her. Of the eight
children born to her but two survive,
Col. William Gresham of st. Peter,
Mimi, and Miss Meade Gresham, who
is y years old and lives with her
mother.
All of Mrs. Rumley's sons entered
the federal army in 1861, and two of
them attained distinction. Gen. Wal
ter @. Gresham rose to the rank of
major general and was afterward judge
of the United States district court,
postmaster general and secretary of
the treasury under the administration
of President Arthur, and secretary of
state under President Cleveland. An
other son, Col. Benz. Gresham, a
veteran of the Mexican war, served
with distinction as cavalry leader in
the army of the Potomac. He died a
few years ago.

Threshing Greatly Delayed.

Authorities upon agricultural topics
seem agreed in the opinion that those
farmers who have their grain threshed
and ready for market are extremely
fortunate. They fear that the men who
have still to thresh, and they are the
big majority, will suffer loss through
the unfavorable condition of the
weather. Recent rains have greatly
retarded threshing, more SO than for
many seasons, for there have been few
years when the rain has fallen so con-
tinuously. Much of the grain is be-
coming soaked in the stack and even
where stacks have been placed on high
ground the lower bundles are being
ruined by the moisture. In some places
machines are mired so badly that it
will take a week of good weather be
fore they may bemoved to new settings.

A PURaATIvE PLEASURE.

If you ever took DeWitt's Little Early
Risers for biliousness or constipation you
know what a purgatlve pleasure is.
These famous little pills cleanse the liver
and rid the system of all bile without
producing unpleasant effects. They do
not grippe, sicken OF weaken, but give
tone and strength to the tissues and
organs involved. W. H. Howell of
Houston, Tex, says "No better pill can
be used than Little Early Risers for
constipation, sick headache, ETC." Sold

Held in Captivity.

Mrs. Minnie Buce Carrigan of But
falo Lake, Mimi, was in the city Fri
day disposing of her book "Captured
by the Indians" and while here called
upon the editors of the Review. In
the summer of 1862 Mrs. Carrigan,
then little Wilhelmina Buce, the Z
year-old daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Gottfried Buce, resided with her par
ents at Middle Creek, MINI. On the
morning of August 18th her father,
mother and three sisters were muir
dered by the Indians and she, a broth
err and sister, were carried into cap
tivity, where they spent ten weeks.
After their liberation at Camp Release
Mrs. Carrigan returned to the New
Ulm settlement and for two years
lived with Mr.. and Mrs. John Muhs,
six miles south of the city. Last year
when the fortieth anniversary of the
massacre was celebrated here the wide
notoriety given the affair led to many
"reminiscences being recOunted and
influenced Mrs. Carrigan to write a
book Of her experiences. In the vol
ume, which is entitled ':Captured by
the Indians,' the lady has faithfully
portrayed her observations of the try
ing period and describes in detail her
stay among the savages. In the sale
of the work she is meeting with great
success, having already disposed OF
the first edition of 1000 copies.

PUSHING PENSION BILL
Defenders Of New Ulm Will Forward
Petition to Congress.

-
During the next session of the fed
eral congress "a petition will be for
Warded to that body asking that the
defenders Of New Ulm be given recog-.
milton by the government and their
names placed on the pension rolls.
Some weeks ago the Review published
an exclusive article pertaining to the
plans of the veterans and since that
time they have mapped out syste-.
matte campaign, which will be fol-.
lowed to the letter.
New Ulm men who are interesting
themselves in the project are Col. VIM.
Chas. Wagner, John c..
Rudolph, George Jacobs and August
Westpfahl and they will leave no.
stone unturned in securing for the sur
vivors the reward for their services
during the Sioux massacre in 1862.
Recently it was suggested that a meet
ing of the veterans be called but this
has been dismissed as impractical and
they will pin their faith in a petition.
In preparing this document care will
be exercised to make it's requests salts
factory to both the defenders and the
government and it should have some
weight with congress. Before it is
sent in Col. Pfaender and others will
ascertain the exact number of men who
are to be benefited by the new bill
and the list will be attached to the pc
ton. Later personal letters will be
mailed to the various senator's and
representatives and in this way the
veterans hope to attain the end they
have striven for so long.
Residents of other cities in the state
also feel an interest in the bill. The
Waseca Journal-Radieal says: "On
Friday of next week Rev. Pfaff goes
to Winona for consultation with
Congressman Tawney with reference
to the securing of pensions for the
men who fought in the New Ulm In
dian war. Mr.. Tawney has already
introduced bill for this purpose, but
those interested desire a little change
in the bill as introduced and it is for
this. purpose that MIR. Pfaf goes to
Winona."

EDITOR NEW ULM REVIEW,
DEAR SIR
l. Some time last summer you pub
lished an article from me on ''Higher
Education of Women, Etc.,, in which
I made the statement that too much
study weakens motherhood. This
statement was taken out of the book
which I published last year and the
correctness of which was ridiculed by
some people. Now here is the report
of two eminent Psychologists in the
German Empire, DR.. Rolf Wichman
and DR.. Adolf Birham, of Berlin, to
their government, Sept. 9Th, 1908:
''From inquiries concerning the
prevalence of bad sight and nervous
disorders among women students and
teachers we have arrived at the follow
ing conclusions: -z64--E.r@
Forty per cent of the women teachers
have to wear glasses as against 10
per cent among women not so en-
ployed and "a per cent among male
teachers.
Forty per cent of the female teachers
are afflicted with nervous disorders,
while among men similarly employed
only II per cent have nervous COM
plants.
And it must be borne in mind that
women students and teachers are only
in use since short number of years.
My book is worth reading, is it not?

SLEEPING TRAMP KILLED.
Struck by Northwestern Freight Train.
West Of City.

A Liam giving his name as Thos.
! Dooley, apparently a member Of the
s'great army of the unemplo yed = was
picked up near the Chicago s. North
western tracks about a mile and a
half westzof the city early Thursday
morning. He had been struck by a
freight train and the injuries which he
received proved fatal.
About 8 O'Clock Thursday morning
two special trains went west over the
Northwestern. The first climbed the
Milford hill without assistance but the
other was helped over by the night
yard crew. AS the switch engine was
returning the men on board heard cries
for help and after searching about for
some time came upon Dooley. He lay
against a telegraph pole in the right
of way and was bleeding profusely.
The injured man was placed on the
engine and brought to New Ulm, after
which he was conveyed to ST. Alexander:
hospital. There DR.. O. G. Stricken,
the company's physician, found that
he had sustained a compound fracture
of the right arm and that two OF his
ribs were broken. To the physician
he gave the name of Thos. Dooley but
was unable to supply any details Of
the accident.
He said that he did not know how
he was hurt. Wednesday night he
started to walk from Sleepy Eye and
he believes that he went to sleep be-
side the rails. Dooley is a tramp and
had probably been drinking, as the
railroad men state that there was a
strong odor of liquor about him when
he was found. It is thought that he
was struck by the first train going up
the hill, and that he lay unconscious
until the return of the switch engine.
Early Sunday morning Dooley pass
ed away at the hospital. Before his
death he stated that the last thing he
remembered before the engine struck
him was sitting down beside the rails
to tie his shoe. He gave his age as 38
years and asserted that his old home
was at Middletown, Conn. He was
single and did not believe that he had
any relatives living. The remains were
removed to J. Fl. Forster undertaking
establishment and Sunday afternoon
post mortem examination was held
to determine the cause Of death.
| DR.. Otto Wicherski conducted the
examination, which was performed in
the presence of all of the other repre-
sentatives of the local medical fraterni-
! ty. It was found that the arm and two
ribs had been fractured as stated and
in addition the man had suffered a
rupture of the diaphragm or midriff:
the muscular partition between the
chest cavity and the abdomen. A great
hole had been torn in the cartilage
part of the liver forced into the ches1
and the right lung had collapsed. The
case was one which local physicians
regard as absolutely without parable
in medical annals and the man haG
not the slightest chance to recover
indeed, it is wonderful that he was
able to survive for 10 hours afther thu
accident. +:
! Dooley's body was taken in charge
by the county authorities and at
O'Clock Monday afternoon he was
buried in the Catholic cemetery.

opposed to paying the assessment for
paving King Street, was held in Sehul-

action. II was the unanimous opinion
that, as the last portion OF the work was
rot completed before the new constitu-
tion went into effect. forbidding the
assessment for street improvements
against abutting property. they cannot

REFUSE TO FIGHT FIRE.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Aug. 19.-The hrst
alarm of fire since the trouble between
the members of the Hydraulion fire en-
gine company and the board of fire war
dens was sounded yesterday afternoon
about $3.50 O'Clock when fire was discov-
cred in the supply warehouse of the
Southern Railway Company in this city.
The building at Patrick and Wilkes
treet, with its contents, including tor
pedOes, fuses. lanterns and other rail-
road supplies, was badly damaged and
the loss will amount to about $500. All
the fire apparatus of the city responded
promptly, but none of the members Of
the Hydraulion company took a hand in
subduing the flames.
One member of the company was called
upon by Fire Warden Summers, acting
chief of the department in the absence
Of Chief Petty, TO fire the engine and
obeyed the request. The Hydraulion
company, it is understood, contemplate =
dismissing him from the company.
The fire wardens state that they were
in no way embarrassed by the refusal
of the Hydraulion members to work at
the fire yesterday.

FATHER HUNTS FOR GIRL
TO PREVENT MARRIAGE
Miss Jewell, of Chester Brook, Va, Be
ieved to Be in Washington.

Tie father of Miss Nancy lowell, who
lives at Chester Brook, Fairfax county.
Va, would like to know ner whereabouts.
Shortly after noon yesterday he informed
the police of the Seventh precinct that
If she could be located before she was
married to John H. Thompson he wished
her arrested.
Miss Jewell is slightly over eighteen
years old. while Thompson is said to be
forty-fve. According to the description
furnished by the father to the police, he
attempted to make himself more youth
full in appearance by dying his mustache
Whatever his wiles, the father says that
the youthful affections of his daughter
were won against his will, and that last
night the pair eluded his vigilance and
quietly slipped away.
That they left to be married he is con-
vinced, and he naturally supposed that
they would come to this city for that
purpose.
