Cologne, July "a dispatch from St.
Petersburg to the Cologne Gazette says
that the Commencement Zeitung. pub
lished at Blagovostchensk, published the
following dispatch from Picking, which
should be taken with all reserve:
THE legations have again taken pre-
cautions for eventualities. Quantities of
provisions have been hurriedly stored in
the legation buildings and the guards
have been reinforced. The European
governments have received d4squieting
information"

They Entertained ExcursiOnistS.

Some two hundred residents Of St.
Paul and Minneapolis came down from
the cities mentioned Sunday on the
German-American excursion, insti-
tuted by the Minneapolis & St. Louis
railroad They arrived in New Ulm
shortly after noon and, as the..day was
a wretched one upon which to hold an
outing, would probably have Jared
very badly had it not been for the
generous spirit displayed by the New
Jlm Turnverein. That organization
hastily engaged the Second Regiment
band and threw their hall open to the
strangers. Music was furnished during
the entire afternoon, the floor was
cleared for dancing and the guests man
aged to amuse themselves very agree
ably until the time~came for their de-
parture Had it not been for the Turn
verein they would have been fated to
wander about discOnsOlately and seek
whatever shelter offered from the
drizzling rain.

F. W. johnson was quite seriously
injured in runaway accident last
Friday afternoon. With Chas. Tober-
er, Mr.. Johnson had been out to the
Schell and Hauenstein breweries and
was returning along State street
about O'Clock. An umbrella which
was raised frightened their horse and
as he -leaped forward Mr.. Toberer,
who was driving, was jerked out over
the dashboard, carrying the reins with
him and receiving a number Of bruises
in his descent. Deprived of the means
of stopping the horse Mr.. Johnson
was left in the carriage helpless and
after riding a short distance leaped to
the ground. He struck upon his head
sustaining two deep scalp wounds and
cutting an artery. When Mr.. Tobere1
reached his friend he was unconscious
and bleeding profusely, but fortunate
ly house was close at hand and tc
this he was carried, his wounds

FELL in TORRENTS
New UIm Visited by Severe Storm
Friday Night.
Minneapolis & St. Louis Railway
Badly BlOckaded.
Water Floods Low Lands and Dam.
ages Hay Crop.

Friday night the most severe rain
storm of the season swept over New
Ulm. The downpour was very general,
| being first reported from the Black
Hills country, and commenced here
with drizzling rain late Friday
afternoon. Shortly after 6 O'Clock
Jupiter Pluvius opened the fiood-gates
with vengeance and for several
hours the rain descended in torrents.
At I o'clock Saturday morning 40
inches had been recorded by Voluntary
Observer Andrew J. Eckstein and a
shower during the forenoon brought
the total to 1852 inches.
| Probably the greatest sufferer from
the storm was the Minneapolis & st.
Louis railway. A combination ofwash-
outs and landslides blockaded their
line on both sides of New Ulm and it
was not reopened fortwenty -four hours.
South Of the city near the Cambria
wagon bridge a landslide more than
sixty feet in length covered the rails
to depth of eight feet and this side OF
the spot there were several minor wash
outs To the north the execution done
was even greater. The usual land
slide occurred in the Fritsche ravine
and at the mouth of the gulch, where
the creek passes beneath thetrack, there
was washout seventy feet long and
ten feet deep.
Early Saturday morning the work
train operating the steam shovel was
detailed upon the repairs and extra
gangs were sent in from Minneapolis
aud Estherville, the crews working
from both ends and the center under
direction of Roadmaster Con Lyons.
The most expedient methods of re-
moving the distractions were adopted
and temporary cribbing was erected
to bridge the washOut at the F'ritsche
creek. Trains were unable to pass
through Saturday and at noon pas
sengers were transferred by team. A
special came up from Estherville
Saturday night to meetthe south
passenger and Sundaymorning it re.
turned on the regular schedule, the
first train to leave after the tracks had
been renewed. Since then there has
been no interruption but it will take
several days to complete their repairs
On the Northwestern the damage was

Bidding Will be Brisk.

Members of the board Of county
commissioners will hold their special
meeting in Auditor Vogel's Office next
Monday to open bids for the erection
of the county Jail. Contracting firms
in this and other states are displaying
interest in the matter and Chairman
Eckstein anticipates a variety of pro-
posals to select from. In order to
place everyone on an equal footing
the specifications have been arranged
in such manner that the contract
may be awarded in three separate por-
tons, builders being allowed to esti-
mate upon the superstruct ure, the cell
work and the installation OF the heat
ing and plumbing fixtures.

NEW MINI, WEDNESDAY. SEPT

not appreciable. As the rain came at
night it was impossible for the section
men to patrol the tracks, and for fear
that the new line might give trouble
three passenger trains were sent over
the loop Friday night and Saturday
morning, causing the vest bound train
reaching here at $40 a. m. to be two
hours late. The morning after the
storm an engine was sent over the new
line and, aside from locating a bad
spot near the Cottonwood bridge,
found it in good condition and travel
was at once resumed. A slight wash
out occurred west of the city near the
Henry Hoffman, farm but on Sunday
Roadmaster Toomey dumped intWenty-
five carloads of gravel and repaired
the break.
Loss of time was experienced by the
New Ulm Roller Mill company as a
result OF the storm. At Center street
the surface drains provided by the city
were not of sufficient size to carry off
the flood and the water backed up,
Overlooking into the pit of the new
elevator and into the basement of the
cereal mill. The latter resumed oper-
alton Saturday afternoon but a full
day was required to pump out the
elev ator.
Heavy stages of water developed in
both the Minnesota and Cottonwood
rivers, the former rising five feet and
the Cottonwood showing an increase
of six feet Saturday morning. The
rapid rise ofthe Cottonwood threatened
the Bentzin bridge and than span was
taken out. While the flood was at it's
worst the river was higher than at any
time this year and below Bentzin' S
mill section of a small house, the
ownership of which has not been as
certained, was found lodged against
the bank, it having been washed down
by the stream.
Low-lying meadows were very badly
flooded and the hay crop will suffer.
Henry Haas, milkman living north of
town, thinks he will lose his entire
supply for the winter and F. Fritsche
has six or eight stacks which were
damaged. Serious interference with
threshing is reported by owners OF
machines and corn cutting has had to
be suspended.
About the city the floods worked in
Jury to cutters and Fourth North street,
which has been newly graded, was
badly furrowed. The high wind ruined
number of shade trees and Saturday
morning the local telephone exchange
had to. contend with great many
phones which were out of order. The
only case of lighting which has beer
reported was in a barn on Jefferso
street owned by Ferdinand Block. It
was a cold bolt, however, and the
structure did not take fire.

: HIS COURT IS MUSICAL
King Dodo's Retainers Sing Many
Catchy Airs.
Decrepit Old Monarch Surrounded
by Pretty Subjects.
Attraction Comes to Turner
Theatre Ten Days Hence.

But ten days remain before the APP
pearance at the Turner Theatre OF
Pixley & Luders' wonderful comedy
opera, ''King Dodo." It is now APP
parent that there is to be an immense
attendance upon the evening of Satur-
day., September 26th, and the big
theatre is certain to be thronged when
the decrepit old monarch is crowed
king5of Spoopjuland. The croud will
witness impressive coronation cere-
monies, in which the most laughable
situations follow in quick succession.
Press notices of the big production,
which has appeared more than a
thousand times, accord it the most un-
stinted praise and they characterize
Richard Golden, who takes the title
role, as the funniest king on the Amer
lean stage. In many respects King
Dodo is a potentate to be envied. He
is surrounded by throng of pretty
subjects and his retainers put on a
ballet that is revelation.
More pretty and catchy musical
numbers are contained in "King Do
do' than in any entertainment of its
kind that has been produced in recent
years. All told there are twenty -one
of them and from the time the first one
is sung until the last one is finished
there is not moment when the ear is
not delighted. The "Bumble Bee
song which is sung in the second act
is possibly the most catchy of all, but
DR.. Fizz," 'Look in the Book and
&c.," "Diana,'' 'sI'll Do or Die, y
'"The Jolly Old Potentate'' and SIN the
Spring" are all most tuneful and we'll
calculated to please theSmost exacting
audience. ...
In the second act of the opera there
is introduced a marchlwhich isexecuteC
by the prettiest girls that have graced
the stage in many day. Of late years
these spectacular marches have beer
eliminated from comic operas and The
| return is most gratifying. And the
girls are really pretty. The old-time
choris girl, who was so much joket
about by the humorists, not withou
some reason, has been gradually dis
appearing and the demand now is TO-
young womankind of prepossessins
personal appearance and good voice
When the play comes to New Uln
the cast, one. of exceptional ability
will include seventy-fve people. Henri,
W. Savage costumes the parts lavish
ly and the opera is produced on a.
elaborate scale. "King Dodo" carrie
it's own orchestra and nothing is over
looked that can in any way add to it
effectiveness.

DEMOCRACY AND PROHIBI-
TON.

The Henry County Bulletin has sem
sr,le article on Democracy and prohibi-
ton In which 1t says that while the Dem
ocratic party Is a temperance party, and
while II has been willing to permit the
application of the principle of local self
government to the regulation or suppress
sion of the LIQUOR traffic. II has never ac-
cepted nor approved State prohibition.
whtch is an entirely different thing. and
that the passage Of the Mann bill aid
not commit the party TO such prohibi-
tion-''
Our contemporary is entirely right,
Come people seem to think that local OPP
ton and prohibition arc synonymous
terms. but rot SO. Local option lis simply
privilege which people In this locality
and that are permitted to exercise under
a State law. A general prohibition law
would prohibit the sale Of Intoxicating

drinks everywhere in the State. "A local
option law leaves 1t to the people OF the
several localities to decide by ballot
whether or not they Will permit the sale
OF intoxicating liquors within their bounds.
There is a vast difference In principle
between these two proposition. II there
ere a general prohibition law 1t would
he operative everywhere and might be
operative i'm some cities, towns or magis-
terial districts where the people were
practically unanimous In their opposition.
In such d case It would be utterly impos-
sible to enforce the law. But the local
option law provides that the people OF
any locality may hold an election and set
tie the matter for themselves
II Is true that the Mann law is In q
sense n prohibition law, but even In this
law IT is provided that the people may
have a saloon IL majority of them sign
a petition to that effect and comply with
some minor requirements before the court.
1r po,nt of fact, therefore, the principle
of local option Is preserved In the Mann
law, and our most serious objection TO the
law Is that public sentiment is tested py
the process of petition rather than by the
process of election, and we do not believe
that public sentiment can be fairly tested
except by secret ballot
Some OF the prohibitionists are saying
that sooner or later the Democratic party
must come out fatty for general State
law. We do not undertake to
make predictions. The Democratic party
may finally do this thing. but when 1t
does 1t will depart from one of Its funda-
mental principles and commit one Of the
greatest plumbers Of It's existence.
