He Wanted Shirt Waists.

.i Misses Amelia and Ella Peterson,
who have been visiting in the city for
the past week, returned to their home
at Springfield this evening. The
young ladies went to Henderson yester-
day to attend the trial Of Brakeman
Nicholas, who was under arrest and in
Jail on the charge of petty larency.
The ladies were at Winthrop one day
last week and on their way home found
that their satchel had been broken
open and two silk waists abstracted.
Suspicion fell upon the brakeman and
he was arrested, charged with the theft.
The missing articles were found at the
young mans home in Storm Lake, Ia,
stored away under a gasoline stove.
At his trial he was found guilty and
fined 1925. These are not the first silk

ness by Receipts Of Fair.

Last week b. n. Somsen and Frank
Behnke were sent as a committee for
the Brown County Agricultural Assoc
ton to Minneapolis to secure attrac-
lions in the way of amusement features
for the coming county fair. They were
in measure successful. though they
did not get all they want for the fair.
Among the attractions listed is the
always exciting and omnipresent ball
loon. Two years ago this attraction
was one of the most successful of the
many that they had. Koko Kio does
not seem to be in the business this
year, probably he is out on vaca-
ton, at least he was not among the
available attractions; there is, how
ever a trick horse, high wire walkers
and some others.
The committee expects to add to
these at later date and the associa-
ton will be able to put up a very good
exhibition at the fair grounds when
the time comes. Two years ago, and
even last year, though the fair was
held in the opera house in the city,
there was surprisingly large number
of very fine entries from the farms in
the vicinity of New Ulm, and the
premiums were very generous, so that
all who entered were repaid for their
trouble and some carried off several
prizes.
This year will find the association
in excellent shape to carry out all
that it contracts for and there will be
no disappointment. Farmers who
expect to have exhibits Of grain, vege-
tables, fruit, etc.. should begin early
to collect and see that the authorities
are notified at the proper time. There
is no reason why this county should
not have as fine a display and as sue
cessful fairs as any county in the
state. The grounds are ample and
the room for exhibits excellent.
The date for the fair has been set
for the 10th, 18th and 18th of Septem-
Der, which is Immediately after the
state fair and is very good date. 1t
is not so late as last year and will be
at time when exhibits may be had
without any trouble. The new secre-
tary of the association is VIM. Pfaen-
der, Jr., who will be pleased to answer
any questions that may be necessary
and give all desired information.

SCHOOLS WELL CAREDFOR
State Appropriation for the Public
Schools Very Generous.

One of the things in which the state
of Minnesota prides itself is it's liberal
school system and the early officials
of the state builded well when they
laid out the broad poicy that has so
successful directed the efforts of the
present. This year the state has to
distribute among the schools the
magnificent sum of S493, 900, in addi-
ton to the 81 capita. The high schools
will get S217 900 of this, $40, 900 will be
distributed among schools for the
special instruction of the common
branches for the benefit Of teachers
and the villages maintaining high
schools will get $40, 900. The state
superintendent is also allowed to dis.
tribute Sl67 900 among rural and semi
graded schools showing special ex.
cellence.
This is one of the facts that al
schools should bear in mind that the
state pays the most for the schools
that are the best. It sets a premium
upon education that should spur al
the districts to do their best. Some O.
the districts in the county have beer
quick to recognize this and have taker

Stone put to New Use.

The State Capital Commission has
just discovered that the stone that is
obtainable at the Mankato quarries
and perhaps in other parts of the state
is as capable of taking on an excellent
finish as that of the expensive stones
that have gone into the structure, and
they are planning to have the interior
finished with this stone. This is one
of the best things that the commission
has done. The outside of the new
building is of foreign stone and it is
no more than fitting that the interior
should be of the product of the state.
1t lends itself admirably for panel
ing in different colors, and uniform
shades can be easily procured when
desired. The capitol commission will

TILL DEATH SHALL PART
Ben Olsen and Miss Anna White are
Happily Welded.

Sleepy Eye has been the scene this
year of some of the prettiest weddings
that have ever been arranged there
and the one of last Wednesday, which
was the final act in the contamination
of the wishes of Ben T. Olsen and
Anna White, according to all accounts
was among the very best of them. The
young people for several years have
been general favorites and have a
large circle of friends to wish them JOY
and happiness. The Dispatch of that
city makes mention of it as follows:
On Wednesday at nigh noon oc-
Cured the marriage of Mr.. Benjamin
T. Olsen and Miss Anna White, both
of this city, the ceremony being per-
formed by Rev. Thos. w. Barbour in
a very impressive manner. The church
was crowded to the doors with friends
and relatives of the contracting parties
and not one in the large assemblage
but uttered silent prayer for the
future happiness of the young couple
as they clasped hands at the altar and
were pronounced man and wife, "until
death do us part" The very felicitous
event above chronicled is one which
will be received with profound graft
tication and satisfaction by a wide
circle OF friends and acquaintance of
the bride and groom. The former has
spent most Of her life here, growing
from girlhood to charming young
womanhood and is possessed of all
the graces which tend to make one of
her sex lovely; loveable and attractive.
The latter is a popular young man Of
sterling worth, an efficient employe in
the Office of the Sleepy Eye Milling
Co., holding therein a position of trust
and responsibility. He came to Sleepy
Eye from Waseca some three years
ago to enter the employ of the Milling
Co., and he has proven himself a
young man of integrity and entitled tc

make use of the stone in connection
with foreign marbles for the lining OF
the main corridors and Railways OF
the new capitol, and will use the stone
in large quantities.
The capitol commissioners claim
they discovered the capabilities OF this
stone and the owners of the quarries
admit that they did not know that it
could be polished. For interior use
the stone is first sawed and smoothed,
then rubbed and polished. In appear
ance it resembles the famous Sienna
marble and may be used to produce
the same effects.

vantage 81 IL, DuL there are MANY
which hang to the old idea that the
least school that they can have and
keep within the law, is all that is
necessary. These are the ones til at
are keeping the average back and
making the work of the county super
intend hard. People cannot value
too highly the good school system OF
this great state.
The Minnesota permanent school
fund has reached the SIS, 900, 900 mark.
No other state except Texas has so
large fund, and state officials esti-
mate that it will not be long before
Minnesota will lead them all. OF this
fund approximately $4,000, 600 is I'M
paid principal on land contracts, and
OF the remaining $4,000, 900, $500, 900
is invested in interest bonds.
The average rate Of interest is four
per cent.
Estimates of the amount that the
fund will ultim ately reach when all the
lands are sold are put at higher fig
ures by each succeeding state auditor.
1t seems that the human mind is inca
pable of approaching the wealth of
Minnesota S resources. Former State
Auditor W. W. Braden created quite
a sensation when he stated that the
fund would ultimately reach 500, O0O,-
O00 State treasury officials now put
the figure at $50, 1000, 900. +,
When this estimate was brought to
the attention of State Auditor S. G..
Iverson he said: ..>
The state treasury is mistaken.
The estimate would have been much
nearer the truth if it had been $780,
100000. The wealth of the Minnesota
school fund in the iron ranges alone
exceeds calculation. Any attempt that
I might make to estimate it's value
would be mere guess"
: J. W. Olsen, state superintendent of
public instruction., announced Satur-
day that the state high school board
had approved the applications of 155
high schools for state aid in accord
ance with the law passed by the recent
legislature.
This number includes fourteen new
high schools located at Argyle, Brock
enridge, Cokato. Ely, Gaylord, Har-
mony, Hibbing, Lake Benton, Milaca,
Minneota, Montgomery, Royalton,
St. Louis Park, and Thief River Falls.
The regular amount which the
schools will receive is 81, $50, 1920 less
than the amount named by the recent
Legislature. The appropriation of
$2l7, ZOO, of which SO, 500 is deducted
for expenses, is not sufficient to pay
the full amount, owing to the increased
number of schools.
The law provides that no school
shall receive more than it expends
during the year for current expenses,
and in some cases the amount is less
than 81, $50. New Ulm is included in
the list which receives the regular
amount
