Mature elouIs With Party.

Besides Ministers Delcasse and Pelletan, M. Maurejouls minister of public works, also will be of the presidential party. He has gone in advance to meet the president at Algers. A number of senators and deputies will accompany the presidential party throughout the trip, being accom- modated during the trip across the Medi- terranean on board the battleship Saint Louis Much political significance is at tached to the journey, as it is the first time that any president of the republic has visited her African possessions, and it will be the first meeting on African soil between a French ruler and North African sultan and the Bey of Tunis.
 While the international attention shown to President Loubet by the assemblage of a powerful foreign squadron in AL gerian waters to salute him on his arrival is not without significance, the fact that the Bey of Tunis will go to receive the president on his landing, an honor that that potentate has never before paid any royal visitor already has made power full impression on the Tunisians who con slider this a complete acknowledgement of French sovereignty.

BRAND FOR CHAMBERS
Sanitary Board to Prevent Sale of
Diseased Horses.

All horses which have reached to a
test for CHAMBERS or have shown symp-
toms of that disease will in future be
branded to show their condition, that
they may not be sold to innocent pur-
chasers.
After meeting behind closed doors,
which occupied the entire day and
continued into the evening, the state
live stock sanitary board gave out
the above declaration and the quarter
ly report of it's secretary, DR.. S. H.
Ward, as the bushes transacted.
The report shows that in the three
months ending Sept. 80, 1902 cattle
were tested for tuberculosis and 254
killed. The total appraised value of
these animals was S7,636.03, and the
average S30.06.
Hog cholera was found to exist on
six farms in Yellow Medicine county,
four in Blue Earth, six in Lac qui
Parle, two in Freedom, and one each
in Washington, Redwood, LIE Sueur
and Lyon.
Horses to the number of 1851 were
inspected and IS were killed on inspec-
ton. Seventy were tested and 80 OF
them reached to the test and were
killed. Fifteen were quarantined, and
of - that were tested 3 were killed.
The total number killed was 81.

RAILROAD men WANT BONUS
Pennsylvania Yankee Milionaires
Visit New Ulm.
Looking for Bonds for New~Nortf
and South Road.
Scheme to Build Branch From
Proposed New Railroad.

There was no extra jar to this part
of the earth Saturday night when a
party of millionaire railroad men got
off here and proceeded to take in the
city. The object of the visit of these
men was to confer with business men
of the city for the purpose of feeling
the sentiment in regard to building a
branch of the proposed Central Mime
sofa road into this city.
A meeting was held in the library of
Hoidale & Somsen's law Office and
there were present with the railroad
men, Chas. Silverson, J acob Klossner,
DR.. Stricken, DR.. Schoch, A. j.
Eckstein, Ferdinand Crone and Philip
Liesch. The matter was thoroughly
discussed and all the bearings of the
road, very invitingly gone over. The
main purpose of the magnates coming
here was to find if it were possible for
them to get bonds for the proposed
road, of course this could not be
decided without a vote of the people,
but it is doubtful if much encourage
ment was given by those at the meet
ing that evening.
1t does not seem probable that a
road of that kind if it was confidently
contemplated would pass so near this
place and not run it's main line into
the city. The territory they propose
passing through by crossing the North
western at Nicollet would not answer
the same purpose.
The idea: of getting an other road
into this place is not an new one and
if the people who want it are in earnest,
at least sufficiently so to have bonds
issued, they can get one or the other
roads that terminate at Mankato to run
this much farther. North and south
roads have been mapped out and dis
posed of so often that there is little rea-
son to believe that this one will ever be
put through.
It often transpires that these roads
are planned and often carried so far
as to begin grading and then they are
bought up by some competing road
and the project is abandoned. This
one may be different and the men who
are backing it may be honest in their
efforts to create the new enterprise,
but there is room to believe that it is
no better than some of the others that
have secured a right of way and all
the necessary preliminaries and then
have sold out for a nice sum of money.
The city might be benefited in way
by another road and it might be a
detriment to it. Freight rates are
governed more by competition than
by justice and the Railroad and Ware

PENSION ALL SOLDIERS
Movement on Foot For General Ser
vice Pension Bill of Sl2.

Orders have been issued by Capt.
Isaac L. Mahan, department command
er for the state of Minnesota of the G..
A. r., calling upon every post in the
state to pass resolutions asking con-
gress to institute the service pension
bill for Civil war veterans recommend
ed at the last national encampment of
the Grand Army at San Francisco.
The bill provides a pension of S12 q
month for every veteran of the Civil
war who served at least ninety days.
is past sixty-two years of age and re-
ceived an honorable discharge, and
for similar pension for widows of all
veterans who were married previous
to June q, 1890.
y The proposed bill will mean that the
names of close to 100000 veterans OF
the great War of the Rebellion will be
added to the pension rolls, meaning an
increase of nearly $751;, 900, 900 per an
mum in the pensions paid to Civil war
veterans. At the present time there are
7l2,002 Civil war veterans, who as in
valids, are drawing pensions from the
government. Besides, the government
pays pensions to PSI, 1852 widows and
children of the Civil war veterans. The
pension list will not be increased very
materially by the provision for widows,
as their pensions have not been diff
cult to secure under the old laws, and
nearly all those eligible are receiving
them.
A large number of men in Mime
sofa will be benefited by the act, as
there are nearly a third of the veter-
ans now residing in the state who do
not receive pensions. At the present
time there are 6,786 pensioners in the
state. ..-...
The proposed act, the promoters be-
lieve, will mean great saving in the
expense of running the pension depart
ment. 1t will do away with large
portion of the special examiners, pen
sion agents, medical examiners and
the numerous force of clerks in the de-
partment at Washington, as the gov
eminent will only have to keep a force
large enough to send out drafts each
month to those entitled to pensions, in
the same manner as the government
employees are paid. It cost the govern
ment in 1902, 1881, 1886 to conduct
the pension department.

HIS EARTHLY CAREER ENDED
T.. c. Brandt Passes From the Field
IS. of Labor.
Former Citizen of New Ulm Dies
T. in California.
Represented this District in Mime.
sofa State Legislature.

On Sunday Ernst Brandt of this city
received telegram bearing the intel
3ligence that his brother, Chas. G.
Brandt, had died at his home in Sar
Diego, Cal. The message did MOI
state what was the cause of his death
but it is inferred that it was due to the
effects of a stroke of paralysis which
he suffered last winter. He was a Wis
itor in this city about a year ago, an6
it was shortly after his return he suff.
cred the attack from which he has just
died. He was in his 9th year and
leaves a wife and two children.
i The story of the life of this man is
part of the history of this place. He
was among the earlies of the settlers
here, coming with his parents in 1856
from Cleveland, Ohio. He was born
in Germany, and was about sixteen
years old when the family emigrated
to this country. Arriving in this
state they settled in the town of siegel
in this county and afterwards moved
to the city of New Ulm, where he,
with Jacob Klossner for a partner
conducted a machine and implement
business, and was quite successful.
He was elected to the state legisla-
ture on the Republican ticket to rep
resent this district in 1873 with J. W.
Blake, and again in 1878 with J. w.
It was during the latter
session that he drew SO much atten-
ton to himself by accepting a bride
of $50 to vote for the Merrill text book
bill which was then up for passage.
Upon the assemblage of the legisla-
ture he arose and declared that he had
accepted the bribe and sent the money
to the speaker declaring that in so do
ing he had promised to vote for the
bill and would do so but he had ac-
cepted the bride for the simple reason
Of showing to the legislature that
money was being used to influence the
passage of the bill and he had no better
means of securing evidence.
The statement created a stir in the
house and there was appointed COM
mittee to investigate the deed, and this
committee after a thorough investiga-
ton reported that they were confident
that Mr.. Brandt was honest in his &C
tons and that he was entitled to full
of any impure motives
by the house. It made of him quite a
hero, and probably is the only case of
the kind on record. During the time
he was in the legislature he secured
appropriations for several of the Cot
tonwood river bridges and was instru-
mental in securing the passage of the
bill that permitted The German papers
to publish legal notice.
He is remembered with pleasure by
the older citizens of this place, for he
has been absent from it for the past
twelve years, and to these his sudden
death will cause sorrow. He was laid
to rest Monday in the cemetery near
the city where he died.

DEPUTIES GET PAY
An Agreement Reached in Regard
to Salaries Of New
Officials.
Extra Salary Fund Will Be Used
and Mandamus Case
Dismissed.

Deputy Sheriffs Langum, johnson,
Cousfneau and Fox, appointed under the
provisions of the new law will receive
their full salariese out Of the county,
extra salary fund. This is understood to
be the solution .of che difficulty which
since May 1, has kept the deputies from
receiving a penny for their services, and
and has twice been in court. This ami
cable agreement has, been reached with
the aid of Judge Brooks, who has under
advisement mandamus proceedings to
compel the county commissioners to ap-
propriate the necessary funds from
money now in the treasury and claimed
to be unappropriated.
No order will be filed. The action will
be dismissed on motion of the relator,
Otto Langum, just as soon as the salaries
are ordered paid out Of the extra salary
fund, which will probably be next Mon
day. when the commissioners meet.
This method of solving the problem
simpIifies the. matter considerably. Judge
Pond had already decided that there was
$4,000 Of delinquent taxes now in the
treasury ,unappropriated and subject to
the action of the county commissioners.
If Judge Brooks had refused the man
sdamus asked for against the commits
sioners he would have contravened Judge
Pond S decision. If on the other hand.
he had granted the nnandamus, then this
money taken in from delinquent taxes,
would be unappropriated money, which 1t
is unlawful for the authorities to use un-
less so designated by the county COM
missioners. This would have thrown the
whole system into confusion and would
have made illegal what auditors have
been doing for years. The real fact IN
regard to the delinquent tax fund Is that
when the annual estimates are made the
previous delinquent taxes are figured In
to make up the deficiency In the present
years taxes, whic hare estimated at their
full assessed value. The custom has been
to make no minute fthis estimate In
the books, and on that point Judge Pond
held that this money had not been esti-
mated nor appropriated IS

PLANS SPOILED
Robert Miller Hadn't Paid Bills and
Couldn't Take Boys From s
Children's Home.

The temporary custody of two children
was the point of contention In a dispute
between Robert Miller, the father Of the
children, and the matron of the Home
for Children and Aged Women at 5000
Stevens avenue this morning. Two Off
GERS were called and the children re-
manned In the institution.
Some time ago Miller and his wife
separated and the children, two boys
aged and 10 years respectively, were
placed in the home, the father agreeing
to pay for their board. The bills were
not promptly paid, and until they we're,
according to the rules of the home: the
children could not be allowed to go. This
morning Miller went to the home and
asked permission to take his children out
over the Fourth and allow them to cele-
brate. His request was refused and he
was informed that the children would be
held until all arrears in board bills were
paid. Miller was greatly enraged. He in
formed the matron that he would take
them whether she gave her permission
or not, and proceeded to make his way
to the second floor, where the boys cloth
ing was kept. The matron asked him to
leave the place, and when he refused she
called Patrolmen Bezanson and Hahn,
and the officers ordered Miller to leave
