New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1903-10-14
Misery Has Company.


While in covers alton with a couple
of our prominent citizens lastweek, one
of them asked us this question:: "Why
don't the village councilhave their pro-
ceedings published so the taxpayers can
see what is being done with the village
money!" We were unable to answer
the question to their satisfaction, and
one of them remarked that while he
was in no wise trying to impugn Or
question the honesty of the village
council he could not but think that they
were derelict in their duties to the
people when they refused to publishtheir
proceedings, as they not only leftthem-
selves open to criticism, but they were
violating both the intent of the law and
the spirit Of the times publicity. This
is no doubt true. We believe it would
be much better for all concerned and
that the taxpayers would take greater
interest in the affairs of the village if
they were given an opportunity to know
what the village was doing with their
money. = AS it is now, outside of the
village council and the members of our
two banking institutions, we feel safein
saying that there are not three men in
the village who know anything about
the financial condition of the village.
But the fact that the village orders are
"shaved" to the tune of 2 per cent
would certainly indicate that there was
deficit in the village revenues, and If
there is, will the honorable village
council kindly let the taxpayers know
by what authority of law they refuset to
make the fact known by publishing
their proceedings, which is the only
proper and legal manner of doing such
things?
While the Times has no particular
desire to be classed as knocker, il
would like to see the affairs of the
village run as though they were the
affairs of the public and not private
institution.

his speech. He seemed to be in touch
with his listeners and being far from
his home state politics did not interfere

The County Wins. :

Judge S. J. Chadwick has handed
down his decision in the mandamus
proceedings of the American Bridge
Company VS.. Fl. II. Wheeler, as
auditor of Whitman county, in
which the plaintiffs wished to COM
pei the issuance of warrant for
$1753 in lieu of the one stolen by
former auditor Raby, says the Ca
zette. The decision is lengthy
document dealing with the law in
/ the matter, and in it these eouit sus-
tains the demurrer of Auditor
Wheeler, with exceptions to the.
plaintiff. The only way now that
the bridgecompany can compel the.
issuance of the warrant is through
the legal form of suit and it is
even doubtful if that will stand in
the face of the law. Whitman
county is not near through with
the results of the doings of Charles
G. Raby, who was auditor preced-
ing Mr.. Wheeler. 1t seems hardly
right that the county should stand
the loss of the warrant, when Raby
was the recognized agent of the
bridge company to receive it, and
should not be held responsible be-
cause he stole from the people whom
he represented in an unofficial char
acter.

Rev. H. c. Mason will preach
his annual sermon especially adj
dressed to young ladies tomorrow
evening.
The council Thursday night
transacted large volume of busi-
ness, the session lasting till nearly
midnight. The electric light situa-
tion was discussed, but no definite
action was taken. w. H. Harvey
stated that local parties would soon
be in position to make the city
proposition for the running of
plant. Two ordinances, one defining
disorderly conduct and another de-
fining assault and battery. were
passed, as was resolution declar-
ing the intention of the city to build
sidewalk on Spring street. The
extending of the city limits to take
in some additions that require city
water was discussed. This discus
sion brought out the interesting fact
there is no record of the present
city limits, and apparently no way
of determining just where the city
lines are. This is a condition that.
the council will take the necessary
steps to remedy. -

NEW COTTAGE
Ladies' Of the G. A. R. Intend
to Enlarge Home at
AnOka.

The Ladies' of the G. a R., in ses-
sion at Central hail. took up the great
er portion of yesterday in listening to
reports of the various committees.
Mrs. Flora Dayey, secretary of the
Anoka home board, read her report and
showed that there was to the credit of
the organization a balance of $93527
in the treasury With this, and aid
from the state, it is proposed to build

dent of the board, presented very IA

Minerva e. Briggs Minneapolis; alternate
delegate, Eleanor Chappron, st. Paul
At the reception at the Metropolitan
hotel last evening everyone was jubi-
liant. For the first time in the history
elected We're named unanimously, and
another cause for rejoicing was that
good reason was given TO suppose that
the bill in preparation by the commit
tees to be presented to the legislature
asking that an appropriation for the
Anoka home be made will be well re-
ceived by the house.
Among the guests of honor at the re-
ception We're retiring Commander

Torrance, and national officers Mrs.
Flora NJ. Davey, Mrs Annie Lincoln
and Mrs. A. T. Anderson. In the re-
ception line We're about fifteen, among
them all the incoming officers of all the
bodies in session. The programme con-
sisted mainly of patriotic songs given
en- masse, interspersed with a few reel
tations and vocal solos. The gathering
dispersed at an early hour on account
of the many who had to catch night or
early morning trains, and at II o'clock
the grand encampment was a thing of

other, more vicious looking than the
first, if that could have been possible.
Marbles the Prize Wanted.
a"Turn over your marbles and do it
quick shouted Happy Hooligan, 1--WE
got no time to lose"
Wont do it?" inquired Happy's
partner in crime, as Reginald and Glare
hesitated. WELL We'll just show you a
trick or two seeing you is inclined to
be ugly. We wants to do this job as
gentlemen, but 1 guess youse won't let
US. So here goes"
Throw up your dukes, or I'll give
youse belt Of the club over the head,
We sons of William Astor. Now, Happy,
let's get down to biz before we are
catched red-handed. Youse get what
marbles Mr.. Clare has, while me to
deal with Reginald"
Jimmy said in court yesterday that
he only took few marbles away from
his victim, but that when he completed
the job he passed Master Vars along
relieving the young gentleman of 40
cents in cash which he found in pock-
etbook.
"Now, to your knee" demanded Jim
ME, when he had secured all the loot
obtainable, and swear that you will
never say one word Of this affair as
long as you live. If We does, We'll kill
you dead. Won't we, Happy?"
With this final injunction to their
victim, Happy and Jimmie departed to
enjoy their ill-gotten wealth. But Reg
inald and Clare wasted no time in
breaking the oath they swore, and be-
fore five minutes had passed they were
at their homes in the Buckingham tell
ing their parents of their brain-racking
and Notwithstanding experience.
The police were notified and yester-
day took Jimmie Gillespie into custody.
Jimmie refused to tell Happy Hooli-
CAMS right name, contending that it
was unprofessionaI to reveal the iden-
tity of a partner in crime. Jimmie was
turned over to the probation officer,
who will take care Of him until next
June.

you why. The report of the committee

tied to seats, and of this number only
1877 were delegates from posts through
out the state. The balance were post
commanders, present and past, and Of
fiecerS of the organization entitled to
vote in the encampment.
Somehow all of the post command

Such were the salutations that greet
ed little eight-year- old Reginald Vars
and Clare Tate as they neared the PeO-
pies church Thursday morning on their
way to the Jefferson school.
Two youthful highwaymen, armed
with vicious looking clubs, perpetrated
the daring daylight robbery. They then
made good their escape by swearing the
victims to secrecy and threatening the
terrible vengeance Of death should
either Vars or Tate mention the deed
of the desperadoes to even their school
companions.
One of the bandits, Jimmie Gillespie,
in the police court yesterday, gave his
age as twelve years, and told Judge
Finehout that the other highwayman
was Happy Hooligan, a character OF
notorious reputation in criminal circles.
While trudging along to school on

desperadoes just as they came from be-
