met two young men, vending their
way along the railroad track near Be
len. They informed him that they had
just left camp forty miles out and
had walked the entire distance. They
were only nOvices in the grades fierce
work and had left the camp vOwing
never to return again

City several weeks ago" said one Of
the young men Of a healthy and intel
the grading camps, this is my last.
The grub is all right. but the work is
hard and only those that can do moth
ing else stay with it, The way the sand
blows out on the line is beyond de-
scriptiOn. Some days 1t is almost i'm
possible to see the teams and the other
WOrkmen at all.
Yes. the men that follow this class of
work are very interesting characters. A
few days before my friend and LETT, one
of the men drew his money. saying he was
going to leave the camp for good He got
as far as the first saloon and there ne re-
NAMED on continual drunken spree until
his last cent was gone then he came back
to work A great many of the men are
saloons along the line as soon as they get
it. But they are jolly, free-from-care
them They work hard and seem content
ed with their lives. But for me. i nave
had all the experience I want
Men are coming and going all the time.
Every day from fifteen to twenty men are
coming in and many are leaving. Some
walk across the country to the Rock IS
land, which Is only about twenty miles, be
ing much nearer than this side. And the
men are constantly changing from enc
camp to another. They all seem satisfied
with the grub they get at the camps but
they are restless and like to change
around.
our forty mile walk across the sandy
country was more difficult trip than We
anticipated. and I would not try it again
We suffered from thirst more than any
thing else. Tt was impossible to get water
anywhere along the line. and what We I'D
get was so strongly alkaline it was nos fit
to drink We are bound for California and
expect to leave grading camps alone in the
future.
The young men were completely worn
out after their long trip through the blow
ing sand and seemed glad that they were
on a railroad with the possibility of rid
ing the rods 10 a better land.
However hard the lives and experiences
of the railroad graders. they fulfil an inn
portant mission in making path for -he
entrance of the railroad into country
which depends on the railroads for Its fu-

BALFOUR NAY RETIRE.
Much Dissatisfaction Over Chamber
Iain's Tariff Programme.

London, June 5-Letters published
this morning from Sir William Vernon
Harcourt, Lord Spencer, Lord Ripon,
Lord Tweedmouth and other liberal
leaders all vigorously denounce Mr.
Chamberlain's imperial Zolleverin pro-
posa1 as merely yelled protection.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt and Lord
Ripon contend that they would be a
fruitful cause Of disputes between the
mother country and the colonies and OF
conflict with foreign countries.
Lord Spencer says the country ought
to press the government to get the ma
tons opinion without delay On the de-
tail of the scheme.
1t is not improbable, says the Daily
News, that Premier BalfOur, finding
grave differences among members Of the
cabinet will resign forthwith.

Mail Carriers Organize.

A branch of the National Association
of Letter Carriers has been organized
in New Ulm. Recently the gentlemen
who attend to the delivery of letters
and parcels in this city became imbued
with the idea that it would be we'll to
form local society as an auxiliary
to the national association. A canvass
of the carriers found a majority in
favor of the plan and at formal
meeting Frank Hubbard was elected
president; Adolph Burmeister, vice
president, and Henry Petry, secretary
and treasurer, there being just the
required number of carriers to fill the
offices. They will have a voice in all
of the affairs of the big society and
may send delegate to the next
national convention.

Death of Mrs, Rudolph.

Augusta, wife of Henry Rudolph,
passed away at her home on North
Minnesota street Sunday evening after
a lingering illness. Her demise was
due to cancer and death came to relieve
her sufferings after she had been con-
fined to her bed for about three weeks.
The trouble first developed month
ago and upon the advice of her ply
sicians Mrs. Rudolph submitted to an
operation. It was then found that the
diseased condition was of long stand
ing and the doctors abandoned their
original intentions for fear than the
shock of the operation would cause
immediate death. She was brought
back from St. Alexander hospital and
has since waited patiently for the end.
Mrs. Rudolph was 81 years of age.
She was born in Mecklenburg, Ger
many, January II, 1846, and came to
America in 1868. The same year she
was united in marriage at Chicago to
Henry Rudolph and in 1870 the couple
came west to live, taking up their
residence in New Ulm. They have
since made their home here and the
deceased enjoyed wide and pleasant
acquaintanceship. She is survived by
her husband and one daughter, Mrs.
r. e. O'Keefe ofFranklin. Thefuneral
will take place at 2 o'clock this after
noon from Turner hall, and her remains
will be laid to rest inthe city cemetery.
