Joplin, Mo-, April 16.-It was feared

every negro out of Joplin, would re-

This was done, and, although throngs
began to fill the streets by nightfall.
there was no sign of disorder.
The excitement is still intense, but
it is believed the Mayors action has

TIME CARD CHANGES TWO
New Schedule Goes Into Effect on the
Northwestern.

Two main line passengers are affect
ed by the latest time card on the Chi
cago & Northwestern. The new sched-
ule went into effect last Sunday and
it brings SOB into New Ulm at ITO in
stead of 1885 as heretofore. This is
the most radical change and is prob
ably made with a view to accommo-
dating passenger traffic from St. Paul
and Minneapolis. The other altera-
ton makes No. SOP arrive from the
west six minutes later than in the past,
reaching here at 1856 p. M instead of
$3.50.
The night train, No. SOL, will arrive
at l2:23 a. m. as usual and there are
no changes in the times of the west
b und passenger due in here at 7:4O
in the morning and the train running
east at 700 O'Clock p. m. On the old
line No. II, formerly due at 1885 p.
M, will not reach here until o o'clock
and No. p departs for the east at 1856
instead of $3.50. There is no change
in the rule prohibiting freight trains
from carrying passengers.
From local view point the revised
schedule is not an Improvement. It
will be of no convenience to people
residing in the western part of the
county and will delay the arrival OF
the Twin City mail almost half an
hour. Among railroad men there is a
feeling that it will not prove satisfac-
tory and that another change will be
made soon.

Thought Dago Demented.

DR.. O. G.. Stricken received tele-
graph message late Monday afternoon
asking him to meet the evening train
on the Northwestern and take charge
of an Italian laborer who had been
bitten by some poisonous insect and
had lost his reason. The Roman had
been employed on the grade near Es-
sig and was bitten as stated. When
his face became swollen he could not
articulate ard his clumsy attempts at
manipulating the deaf mute language
impressed his companions with the
idea that he had gone crazy. Upon
reaching here it was found that the
man was sound in mind although suff-
ering greatly from the effects of the
bite. He was taken to st. Alexander
hospital for treatment.

FAIR TO OPEN TOMORROW.
Annual Exhibition of Brown Coun-
ty Agricultural Society.
Promise of Profuse Displays OF
Various Vegetable Products.
Merchants Also Contract For
Booths in Local Opera House.

Tomorrow will be the opening day
of the thirty -third annual fair Of the
Brown County Agricultural society,
which is to continue until Saturday
evening. The show this year is to be
held in the New Ulm opera house and
as soon as the doors of the building
are thrown open the management will
be ready to receive visitors. Many of
the exhibits will be placed in position
today and the remainder are to be sent
in before tomorrow noon.
In some respects the 1903 fair prom
ises to eclipse all previous efforts of
the officers of the society. While there
will be no attractions or amusement
features provided, it is positive that a
representative agricultural display
will be made. One year ago, when the
show was given in the same place, the
management was led to believe that
their departure from the rule of hold
ing the fair on the society's grounds
would have the effect of dampening
the ardOr and enthusiasm of exhibit
tors. Judge of their surprise when
they were fairly swamped with dis
plays of fruit and vegetables, enab-
them to give a better fair as~regards
these features than had been possible
for several previous years. ..
Thie, +i,,,o 4Io
an experiment and they will profit by
the experience of 1902. The precedent
established then is valuable and it has
taught the directors of the society to
expect large number of exhibitors.
In this they will not be disappointed.
Farmers in the vicinity of New Ulm
have evinced lively interest in the
fair and they, as we'll as gardeners
and fruit growers throughout the
county have given assurances that
there will be no lack of prize products
for the judges to pass upon. More
owners of live stock will exhibit than
was the case a year ago and local
merchants have contracted for about
all of the mercantile booths. In the
woman's department the ladies are
coming to the front nicely with speci-
mems of fancy work and embroidery
and there promises to be varied as
sortment of handiwork work dear to
the hearts and pleasing to the eyes OF
the fairer sex.
On the whole it would seem that the
| fair is we'll worth attending and, in
fact, the officers are expecting crowds
| of a respectable size. Season tickets
have sold we'll this year and the man
agement has been given great encour-
agement. Of this they are deserving,
for with a successful fair this time ii
will be possible for them to clear
away all of their outstanding indebt-
edness and give really comprehen-
sive exposition one year hence.

Operators Have Another Wire.

Saturday morning crew of Chicago
& Northwestern inemen reached New
Ulm with new wire which is being
strung from Winona to Tracy. Tele-
graphing facilities of the Northwestern
have not been sufficient for several
months to handle the business of the
road and agents and operators have
had orders to confne everything posi-
Bile to the mails. For this reason a
new train order and message wire was
necessary and it will reach from one
end of the division to the other. AS
the crew is able to string about fifteen
miles of wire each day it should be in
working order by the end of the week.

for the second floor and besides these
there is a room for the confinement of
female offenders, another for juveniles.
and still a third which may be used
as an operating room when physicians
may be called to attend prisoners.
The total size of the structure is to
be 1880 feet but in spite of the fact
that the interior finish is to be Of the
best sort obtainable its entire cost is
not to exceed 100000. The prison will
be thoroughly up to date. AS a pre-
caution against the escape of prison
ers the floors in the jail will be built
of concrete, all cells provided with the
latest locking devices and one fur
nished with wire screens for theSincar-
ceration of insane patients. Speaking

Of the building, it will be wired
throughout for electric lights and will
have slate roof.
Chairman Eckstein expresses the
greatest satisfaction with the plans
and they have also met the approval
of the state board of control. This
week advertisements for bids have
been inserted in, numerous publica-
tions and these will be opened at the
special meeting of the board to be held
on Monday, Sept. 21st. At that time
the contract will probably be awarded
and, if possible, part of the work will
be done this fall.

HUNTERS In ELEMENT
Local Nimrods TireleSS in Pursuit of
Ducks and Chickens.

Sportsmen in this part of the state
have been in their element for week.
Thus far local nimrods have been I'M
usually active and they report that
the present approaches an ideal hunt
ing season, as there is an abundance
Of game. In particular ducks are
plentiful. Swan Lake and the lakes
near Hanska are said to fairly swarm
with aquatic fowl and, as every de-
preston is filled with water, there are
countless thousands of birds in the
little ponds. They have had a splen-
did year for brooding, are fat and in
prime condition.
With the prairie chickens things are
not as favorable. Damp weather and
frequent rains played havoc with the
young and there are not as many of
them to be found as in years past.
Large coveys are especially scarce
and devotees of the sport state that
much hard work is required to accu-
mulate a presentable bag. Thus, while
ome hunters have been fairly fortu-
nate, numbers have met with but indif-
ferent success.
In New Ulm about every owner of a
dog and gun has had try at the fas-
cinating pastime. Near Comfrey Gen.
Jos. Bobleter and Major L. G. Vogel
captured 81 chickens and Is ducks and
W. E. Koch, Max Burg, DR.. Geo. R..
Koch and John Muhs brought back

same town Sheriff julius and Frank
Burg shot 43 chickens and ducks,
while Geo. Marti Theo. Mueller and
party got 80 chickens near Gibbon.
Home township was good for Is chick
ems for A. j. Vogel and Albert Stuebe

in Milford.

Labor.

The human race began it's existence
with an introduction to labor. It is a
divine command and there are none
who may escape it. Across the aeons
of time which intervene between us and
the initiative command labor has seen
many changes. 1t is possible that
there was a time when the human race
was so pure that it lived in state
where there was no need of labor and
the condition of the earth at that time
was such that a. perpetual summer
reigned, and the memory of it linger-
ing through the ages that have inter-
vened brings to us the legend of the
Garden of Eden. All this is passed,
however, and labor from being curse
has become the salv alton of the present
generation of people.
This age, this moment, if you please,
is yours and mine because of the toll
and the privation of some person who
has in thousand ways and by devious
methods gambled with the misery
and happiness of this life, and cheated
misfortune of it's prize, to lay it at our
feet.
He alone is not the laborer who tolls
with caloused hands with the pick and
shovel or the tools of any trade; every
man is laborer who wrests from the
elements of nature the means of a
livelihood. The man who tolls with
his hands alone, dependent upon some
other to direct his operations, and has
no higher ambition than the satisfaction
of his immediate wants, if he has a
mind at ease, is happier by far than
he who labors with his brains to
satisfy an ambition that reaches to the
pinnacle of fame.
Ambition can never be satisfied in
this life; contentment is rarely found;
to crafty them both, to fill the cup of
happiness full and lay up for ourselves
the price of future indulgences, and if
possible something for posterity; toll
ing perchance on the farm, at the
anvil, in the shops, behind thecounters
or in the offices, employer OR employe
it matters not, all are the servants of
labor, and slightest paid who spends
wisely and makes a servant of the
faculties with which the creator has
endowed him. To use these faculties
a G mich as the other members Of the
body; that is labor. -

One has but to stand around within
the gates of the state fair and keep his
eyes open to see that it is the congre-
eating place of all the ambitious
politicians of the state. To these fellows
it is an instrument in the hands of an
operative politician to measure and
lay out their work, and they are all
there to help it along. 1t is worth the
price of admission to see them operate.
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1903-09-09

The St. Peter Herald of last week
contains an editorial to the effect that
U. S. Senator Knute Nelson has
written a communication to the Mime
apolis Journal in which he advise the
farmers to hold their wheat for the
81 .00-a-bushel price. The Herald has
the Kunte Nelson's mixed as the home
OF the senator is in Alexandria and
not Fertile, as is the home of the writer
of the communication. Senator Nelson
is no better guesser on the time to sell
wheat than is any Intelligent farmer
and is not liable to give advice that
might be disappointing.
The young reporter who wrote in
one Of the daily papers of the man
from the country who was attending
the fair with his family some of whom
were carrying their babies in one arm
and their lunch baskets in the other
hand, while the old man with long
whiskers and the old-time carpet bag
brought up the rear, made fool of
himself in the eyes of all who went
through the gates for there were none
of that class there, in fact it is doubt
full if you would meet up with them at
the most simple country fair. When a
farmer these days goes anywhere he
takes along with him more money than
the poor reporter will probably ever
see at one time.

Sunday Schools Organize.

The Rev. John Orchard, Sunday
School Missionary for the Dakotas
and Minnesota, was at the Congre-
gational church Sunday for the purpose
of effecting an organization of the
schools of the county, and stimulating
the efforts of those who are interested
in Sunday school work. An organ
ization was effected and the following
officers were chosen:
President-Miss Grace Owens, Sleepy
Eye.
Vice Miss Lendt, Spring
field
Secretary : Dwight Mowery, New
Ulm.
Treasurer - Miss Bertha Schmidt,
New Ulm.
The attendance was poor from out
sidethis city there being representatives
from only Springfield and Sleepy Eye.
A number were present from Nicollet
county and Courtland was strongly
represented. Mr.. Orchard is an en-
thusiastic worker and man of the
widest experience, having worked in
most of the large cities of the world.
He is thoroughly consecrated to his
work and his addresses both morning
and evening were interesting because
of this fact.
It is expected that the convention
next year will be held in Sleepy Eye,
and that the new organization will be
able to interest most of the schools in
the county in the matter.
