ITO the Patrons of the New Ulm Elec-

Having sold to the City Of New Ulm
the franchise and part of the fixtures
of the Lighting plant which for the
past twelve years has furnished light
to this city and those of it's inhabi-
ttants who have seen fit to use it, the
company desires to inform it's patrons
that after this date, as rapidly as..pos-
sible, the city will arrange to supply
Subscribers to the New Ulm Electric
Light Co. with light, guaranteeing
them satisfactory service, and the old
| company will retire from further bust
ness in this city. Without entering
into the details of the matter the com
pany wishes to state that this is the
wisest method of settling the difficulty,
which is familiar to all, and which
was working an injury to the city, and
it trusts that the patronage of the city
plant will be as freely given as it was
| to the old company. .....
SIN retiring from the business and
closing out the stock of the company
its officers desire to express their sin
cere thanks to all its patrons and to
assure them that only by their hearty
support has the company been able to
continue for SO long time, and while
the latter years have been fairly sue
cessful, previous ones were not so and
it is glad to retire feeling the services
are to be continued in larger and
perhaps better way.

the town derived its illumin alton from

Philip Liesch called attention to the
presence of Mr.. Eibner at the meeting
and suggested that he had heard him
say something regarding a plant to
use the exhaust steam from the power
house for heating purposes and would
like to hear from him. Mr.. Eibner
explained that he had made some
inquiries regarding it but was unable
to say whether it was paying invest
ment or not. A suggestion was made
that a corporation of business men
might handle such a plant and DR..
Schoch called attention to the fact
that it would be impossible to get men
with money to go into the scheme as
if it paid it would only be question
OF time when the city would confscate
the plant and more than that he be-
lieved there was a law preventing
cities from controlling a franchise of
that kind. Mr.. Eckstein volunteered
the information that plants of this
kind paid in Austin and in Owatonna
and it there was law preventing
cities from owning such franchises,
which he doubted, it would be very
easy to have it changed. He was in
favor of having the matter thoroughly
investigated and recommended the APP
pointment of a committee, accordingly
he was made chairman and has to
assist him Chas. Toberer and F. H.
Behnke. This committee will report
at it's leisure
The proposition is to get a plant
that will use the exhaust steam from
the power plant and transmit it to all
the business houses and private places
that want it, assuming that it will be
sufficient to heat the buildings and
save the users money and also bring
a handsome return to the city.
The only other important item Of
business was the reading of letter
from And. J. Eckstein requesting the
appointment of a committee to act
with the druggists in the matter of the
convention to be held here next month.
The secretary was instructed to inform
the entertainment committee of the
Union that it fell within its province
and requested them to report to Mr..
Eckstein for instructions.
twas the unanimous yoiceof those
present that all assistance possible
SHOULD be given to the druggists; and
ap parently all they have to do is to
ask any of the members of the Union
and they will do what they can.
Notice was also given that a vote
would be taken on proposed change
1of the constitution reducing the mem
Ilbership fees from So to 50. The vote
! to be taken at the meeting next month.
During Ladies Tonight.
The program rendered by the During
Swedish Ladies Quintette at Turner
Theatre this evening will include many
of the sweet old Swedish folk SONGS
$50 dear to the hearts Of all sturdy sons
land daughters Of the far North land.
These songs will be enjoyed quito as well
by the English hearers as though they
were sang in their own language, since
it is the natural sweetness and marvel
Gus harmony Of their voices, rather than
the mere words Of the songs that consti-
flute the greatest charm Of the During

HOMES IN SAVANNAH.

If the thoughts thrown out by Col.
Mercer in the brief address he made
to the gradua ting class, on the oc-
casion of the closing exercises of the
High School on Tuesday night, rel
alive to the building OF homes suitable
to the climate of this locality, could
be so forcibly impressed upon the
minds Of the people of this city as to
influence them in the construction of
dwellings, we are sure they would do
a world of good. OF course but little
can be done to improve dwelling houses
in the old part of the city, but there
is no reason why such dwellings as
Col Mercer described should not be
constructed in the new part. There is
no satisfactory reason for making the
squares and lots so small, thus i'm
posing an enormous burden on the tax
payers for paving, cleaning and re-
pairing streets and lanes. There is
plenty of land close to the heart of
the city, and street car lines reach out
in every direction.
In this climate, as Col. Mercer said,
every dwelling should occupy
good sized lot, and there should
be plenty of room around it for
grass, flowers and shrubbery. OF
course there are some such homes In
the new part of the city, but even these
few have the appearance of being
cramped by their surroundings. The
y fc, hn IOfc
But we have reference particularly
to the homes of people of very mod
crate means. Instead of cottages in
the midst of flowers and vines and
we1l-kept grass plats most of the
houses are crowded together as if the
purpose was to get as many houses as
possible in a given space.
OF course the land companies are
largely responsible for this condition
of affairs. Their aim has been to get
as much as possible out of the land
they put upor the market, but there is
an abundance of land to be had, and
it is strange that the owners of some
of it do not cut 1T up in large lots and
offer it at reasonable prices for just
such homes as there ought to be in
this locality. In view of the fact that
the street car lines reach out for miles
and the lands are well drained there
is no reason why there should not be
a movement in the direction of the
building of such homes as Col. Mercer
described. There is plenty of land in
q
cut up into lots one hundred feet by
two hundred feet and sold at prices
much less than those now asked for
lots thirty by one hundred feet, would
yield the owners a good profit.

The Pnne.s wit.

The following story of the Pope's
ready wit is current in Italy, where
he personally is most popular, even
among the Anti-Clericals. He has some
nephews who find it somewhat difficult
to extract money from him. The wife
of one of these nephews is said to have
undertaken to get some from him. She
solicited an interview, and, having OBJ
tanned it, said: Holy Father. l come
to seek your advice. 1 am poor.

in debt. have been gifted by heaven
with a good voice, and the proprietor
of a music hall has offered me large
salary to appear on his stage and sing
a few simple songs. Ought 1 to accept
the offer?" Certainly" replied his
holiness; land 1 only regret that my
official position will not allow me to
be present at your debut"

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says:
at is limited that when the Postoffice
Department scandal is thoroughly
stirred up it will bring to the surface
various and divers congressman and
senators who, though they did not
participate in any of the financial
swag, got large quantities of pork" in
the shape of unauthorized appoint
ments and violations of the civil serv-
ice law. The vociferous depreciation
of the investigation in some quarters
indicates where certain of these states
men are TO be found
The New Orleans Item (Dem.) says:
There is a belief, widespread if not
universal, that Tillman who slew Con-
zales in cold blood, will escape punish
ment There is similar belief that the
Breathitt assassins win escape justice.
There are difficulties and obtructions In
the progress of the court that always
count in favor of the criminal. There
are a thousand rules of evidence and
technical points of pleading, any one
of which, if mistaken by the judge,
gives the criminal new trial. few
years ago a ravisher in Alabama, n
white man, was tried and convicted
three times and each time sentenced
to be executed, but the Supreme Court
on each occasion stepped in and re-
versed the case because of some error
of the judge upon an immaterial point.
Popular patience became exhausted
and the mob finally broke into the Jail
and lynched the man. There was no
! occasion for another appeal.
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: ut is alleged that the negro,
White. who was lynched by the Della
ware mob had been twice before con-
| victed and punished for rape and at
tempted rape. Imprisonment had no
| deterrent influence upon his bestial
nature. His last atrocious, unspeakable,
unprintable. murderous assault fur
nished proof that to turn such crea-
lures loose in the community is to be-
come accessory before the fact to the
awful consequences. Either criminals
of this class should be permanently
restrained of their liberty, or hanged
or made PHYSICAL incapable of future
offending of like nature. The Record
fully indorses the suggestion of the
Press: No man ought to leave a state
prison after a conviction for this Of.

Senator Clark Bounced.

How Senator w. A. Clark, Montana
multi millionaire, came to be kept out
of his magnificent new Fifth avenue
residence by a Waterman, and how he
had to leave without being able to show
his new home to a party of friends, is
a story over which workmen about the
great palace at Seventy-seventh street
have been chuckling for some time,
says a New York dispatch.
The Senator was lightly bounding
up the massive steps to the great front
door, when the Waterman, who is usu-
ally on duty only at night, but who
also keeps guard over the property on
Sunday, espied him. The Waterman
had never seen the United States SEN
ator from Montana, and consequently
failed to recognize the bushy- whiskered
man as the owner of the house he was
guarding.
Where you goin'?" demanded the
Waterman, mounting the steps.
I'm going to look over the house, -
replied Senator Clark, quietly.
well, 1 guess not" retorted the
Waterman, emphatically. What do
you want here, anyway"
'I own the building" announced Sen
ator Clark in tones of some surprise.
Say" said the night Waterman,
swinging his club, and winking conf
dentially at the Senator, I'm on this
Job three years and if / behave me-
self / can stay here three years more,
dye see? No CON game like that for
me-"
Senator Clark looked very much con-
fused but finally bethought himself
and pulled out a small card.
my name is Clark" he said. Here
is my card"
On the card appeared the name
Senator William A Clark" The
Waterman took one look at it, and then
swung his club.
"Up the street for yours, or I'll cal
a cop!" he jeered
At last the owner of the Sc, 600 00(
mansion confessed himself outdone anC
retired in confusion, taking his guests
with him.

In One MINIS Pocket.

A recent traveller was curious to col
lect traditions about curing or prevent
ing sickness, says the New York Post.
In his collection he found that If a
Massachusetts man carried the things
which are held to be effective he would
have in his pocket:
A horse chestnut, to keep away rheu-
matism.
A potato, for the same thing
An onion, to preserve him from hav-
ing fits.
A piece of camphor gum, so as not
to catch smallpox
A bit of birthstone, to ward off the
itch.
If the Massachusetts, man followed
the rules of health he would wear:
A black silk cord around his neck
to ward off Group.
A red string, to prevent rheuma-
tism.
An eel skin round his waist for the
same purpose.
A little bag of sulphur to guard
against scarlet fever.
An eel skin around an ankle to keep
from having cramps.
A piece of red wooden yarn about
the neck to prevent nose bleed.
To cure sore throat tie one stocking
about your neck when you go to bed.

EFFECr OF THE COTTON CORNER.

EFFECT OF THE COTTON CORNER.
1t is problematical as TO what ex-
tent the present corner in cotton will
benefit cotton planters. 1t looks now
as if the price of cotton would re-
main high until the bulk of the new
crop was marketed, though much will
depend upon the size of the crop.
OF course while the cotton planters
will be benefited if the price remains
high the mill owners and the mill OPP
eratives are suffering. AS much as
80 per cent. of the mills of Lowell,
Mass, have already closed. and 1t is
the understanding that they will re-
main closed until about Oct. 1. In
fact, in all parts of New England the
mills are closing. The same thing is
taking place in England. The manu-
facturers cannot afford to keep their
mills running with cotton at the pres
ent price, unless they are fortunate
enough to be in the possession of a
stock of cotton purchased at about 10
cents a pound. There are compare
lively few mills, however, that have
stocks of cotton. on hand purchased
at that price.
Tens of thousands of mill operatives
are out of employment and will re-
main out until there is a drop in the
price of cotton. They understand that
the mills cannot be run when the
manufactured product cannot be sold
for as much as the raw material costs
OF course this closing of the mills
will have a disturbing effect upon
business, particularly in the sections
of the country where the mills are
located. The disturbing effect may be-
come more general than present signs
indicate. If the demand for cotton falls
off to the extent which now seems
probable there may be a very consid-
cradle decrease in the price of it. In
deed the decrease may be so great
that the cotton planters would have
been better off if there had been no
speculative corner in cotton.
There is one thing which the pres
ent high price will do. 1t will stimu-
late the production of cotton in In
dia and those other parts of the world
where experiments in raising cotton
are being made. 1t will also cause a
great increase in the area devoted to
cotton in this country. The result
may be that the fall in the price of
cotton will be as great as the rise has
been. 1t is a question therefore wheth-
er or not the forcing up the price of
cotton by speculative means is bene-
fetal to the cotton planters, taking
one year with another. The fact that
the outlook for the present crop is not
altogether encouraging, together with
the reports of the ravages of the boil
weevil in Texas, is helping the specu-
lative syndicate that is boosting the
price of cotton. Just what the out
come of the present situation in cotton
will be there does not seem to be any
well defined opinion. 1t seems to be
pretty generally agreed, however. that
the cotton planter is going to get |
good price for his cotton this year.

THE CHILD LABOR BILL.

Mai. Hanson said about all there is
to be said against the proposed legis-
Iation prohibiting the employment
of children in the cotton mills
under a certain age in his
address before the members of the Leg
islature on Monday night, but the in
ference in our Atlanta dispatches is
that he made but few, if any, converts
to his views.
A strong point that he made was
that those who are so solicitous about
the welfare of children employed in
the mills seem to take no interests in
them as long as they remain on the
farms. According to Maj. Hanson their
condition is much worse on the farms
their life harder and their chances of
getting an education much less than it
is as employees of the mills.
1t may be true that on the farms the
children have a pretty hard life and
get but little schooling. AS a rule,
however, they have the best of health.
Living much of the time in the open
air anu udNltS TIE lieSuOLl VI the
country they grow up strong and
healthy.
AS employees of the mills they are
confined many hours out of each day,
and, that too, in an atmosphere that is
not conducive to health. Naturally
they grow up with weakened constitu-
tons, and many of them become inva-
lids by the time they reach middle life.
The reason the reformew pay no at
tention to the children on the farms
who according to Maj. Hanson. are
more to be pitied than the children of
the factories. is that they know moth
ing about them. These children of ten
ant farmers do not come within the
sphere of their observation, and hence
they do not attempt to better their
condition.
No doubt, however, there is much to
be said on each side of this child la
Dor question, but the weight of the
argument seems to be on the side of
giving the children a chance to get a
little schooling, and to get the physi-
cal development which is necessary in
order to become healthy men and
women.
