Al END OF RESOURCES
New Ulm Public Library VIII Close its
Doors on May First.
Lack of Support Causes the Directors to
Decide Upon This Step.
II Now Has Only Small Deficit With nc
Means of Meeting Expenses.

On%May LIST the New Ulm5 Public Liz
brary association will wind up its, af-
fairs and close its doors, after a brief
existence of four years. This course
was fully decided upon at Meeting
OF the board of directors held in the
office of DR.. o. c.. Stricken Monday
evening and DR.. Stricken and A. p.
Brooks were appointed committee to-
arrange for the official interment, be-
ing instructed to report at meeting
next Saturday night.
Lack of support Influenced the ac-
ton of the directors. The library has
been well patronized from the outset
but those who availed themselves of
its privileges did not respond with the
necessary number of contributions.
From financial point of view the lee
ture course obtained last winter was a
miserable failure and it has not been
possible to devise other means of
eking out an existence.
! At the present time the library has
"a deficit of S65 and while this is not
large there is no way of liquidating it.
AS a matter of fact the library is UNI
able to meet its current expenses and
the simplest way out of the difficulty
IS close it down. The library owns
its Office fixtures and it is intended to
sell part of these to raise the debts
outstanding. The remainder, with the
books, will then be packed and stored.
Directors of the library have seen
this crisis approaching for some time.
Several months ago they were ready
to give up in disgust but as the state
library board had a bill pending be-
fore: the legislature which promised
relief for libraries in small towns they
We're encouraged to remain by their.
colors for a short time longer. How.
ever, the measure was so amended as
to become practically abortive, really
increasing the burdens of the small
libraries, and now their deferred &C.
ton has become inevitable.
All books will be called in and no
more issued. The Review has been
asked to request that all those who
now have volumes belonging to the
library to see that they are returned
before May 1st.

Running Race Promised.

I An event which promises to put the
Ottomeyer. Stricken ball game far into
the shade is now being discussed in local
sporting circles. It is match running
race and the promoters will attempt to
bring it off within few weeks. The
affair, however, will have restrictions
and limitations which will probably bar
out ordinary mortals. Only persons who
own their own mounts may try for the
fat purse which is to be hung up and as
an exhorbitant admission fee will be de-.
manded it is likely that the only ones to
witness the trials Of speed will be fortu-
mates holding complimentary tickets and
small boys who are able to climb under
the fence. Up to date there are but three
probable entries-Ben Stockman, N.
HenniDgsen and Einar Hoidale. All are
experienced equestrians IN perfect train
ing and a neck-to-neck finish may be
looked for. While the handicaps have
not been announced, it is understood that
Einar Hoidale's horse has a record OF
eleven furlongs in eighteen seconds and
for this reason the county attorney will
be made to carry weight. Ben Stock
man, with his English cavalry seat, will
thus become the favorite while the poo
rooms will play Judge Hennlngsen as
| the dark horse.

WILL SHIP . ICE CREAM
Wd.s Eibner to Do Wholesale Business In
- CONCEALED Milk.
Plans to Compete With Dealers in Twin
Cities and Mankato.
VIII Sell Product of His Freezers II
r Towns West and South.

wa. ElOneT, lODS an advocate OF the
superior advantages of New Ulm as a
manufacturing and shipping point, is
about to demonstrate his confidence IN
the doctrine he has been expounding. He
will soon embark extensively in the
manufacture of ice cream, intending to
dispose of the tactical fluid in its con-
gealed state to restaurant keepers and
other retail dealers III the smaller cities
and towns west and south of this place.
At considerable expense to himself
Mr.. Ebner has purchased the machinery
necessary to operate on the scale he
contemplates. This consists of TO-
gallon freezer, the largest size manu-
featured, together with shipping cans
and other receptacles complete. His
power he will derive from 2-horse
electric motor to be operated with cur
rent from the city plant and he will set
up the appliances in the basement of
his building on Minnesota street, he
having had a cement floor put in for the
purpose. -" -
He expects to receive the freezer not
later than next Saturday and should be
in a position to begin supplying his
trade within ten days AS it is possible
to freeze to gallons of cream in less than
Is minutes, his plant will have practic-
ally unlimited capacity, enabling him
to handle an enormous business. His
territory will include points west on the
Chicago & Northwestern and south on
the Minneapolis & St. Louis and it would
be difficult to find better one. At the
present time this field is usurped by
dealers in Minneapolis, St. Paul and
Mankato but he proposes to enter into
keen competition with these people, both
as regards quality and price.
This project IS one which holds out
more promise than would at first appear.
In several Southern Minnesota cities
large fortunes have been built up from
the wholesale manufacture Of ice cream
and as the grade of Mr.. Elbner's product
is such that it will create a demand
where it has once been placed on sale
there is no reason why he can't duplicate
the successes of others. For several years
past be has been doing modest whole
sale business and the ex perience which
he has gained warrants him IN the belief
that brisk trade can be developed. .
Mr.. Eibner will not, however, allow
his plans to interfere with his local re-
tail business, he having arranged to tit
out his restaurant with oxidized iron
chairs and tables and othwlse improve
the appearance OF the interior of the
Home Bakery. He will also devote more
attention to catering than in the past,
having purchased large and varied as
sortment of dies with which to turn out
the fancier shapes in brick creams.

THE LOBSTER.

The Hot Airs to the HOLSTERS said,
well take you out and paint you red,
tWe'H give you a hot time %
The HOLSTERS thought this would be great
And did not realize till late
Their ignorance sublime.
The HOLSTERS thought it would be fine
To have some supper. and some vine;
Like any other rounder.
The Hot Airs knew their little trick,
So they got them in hot water quick,
And left them there to founder.
They ripped the Lobsters up the back,
And gave their pride lusty crack.
Then roasted them quite well.
Then when they got all there was
To get out of those Lobsters' claws,
They threw away the shell.
I'm sure that no one we'll can fail
TO grasp the moral of this tale
It's very plain to see.
A Lobster is a lobster now
He is a lobster anyhow
And will forever be.

FLOUR | MILLS CT OSED
Discrimination in Freight Rates Causes
Resort to Heroic Measures.
Flour Trade in Minnesota Brought to
Complete StandstiII. ~
Over ESQ Plants With I25 900 Barrels
Capacity Are Closed.

| discrimination in freight rates has
caused the greatest tie-up of FIGURING
mills ever known in the United States.
! Since Friday but comp ratively few of
the mills in Minnesota, the greatest
four-producing state in the Union,
have been running and over $50 plants
with daily producing capacity of
125: 900 barrels have not been turning
out pound of the product.
This unprecedented state Of aft airs
/! is brought about, the mill owners say,
by the attitude of the various railroads
| and lake carriers in demanding rate
of 81 cents per bushel upon flour,
while they will carry wheat for 2 cents
per bushel. Mills in the east are thus
, given a tremendous advantage, it be-
ing possible for them to obtain the
raw material at almost the same figures
as paid in Minnesota and then effect a
great saving in freight upon the finish
ed product, they being within easy
reach of the seaboard and foreign
shipping points.
Against this pampered competition
the western manufacturers were almost
powerless and for some time they have
been operating at a loss, it being esti-
mated that the cost to Minneapolis
Touring interests has been 500, 900,
while the combined mills of the North
west will suffer to an equal extent.
Several times protests against the
harmful and unreasonable rates were
made to the railroad companies but
beyond according the millers re-
spectful hearing the representatives of
the transportation lines took no action
whatever. :,sfsg
After waiting a reasonable length of
time the shippers came to the con-
clusion that patience had ceased to be
a virtue and last week they forced the
crisis which they hope will bring about
a change in the conditions. At IL
O'Clock Thursday night the Mime
apolis millers inaugurated the move
ment by shutting down the mammoth
industries at St. Anthony Falls and
by the following day many of the
larger mills throughout the state had
followed the example.
In this city, which ranks second in
Minnesota as regards the amount Of
flour manufactured, the first to close
was the New Ulm Roller Mill COM
pany, which suspended operations Fri
day. The same day tho Sleepy Eye
Milling5company stopped it's plant and
on Monday the Eagel Roller Mill COM
pany ceased running. However, un-
less the tie-up is prolonged its effects
will not be noticed here, as none of
tho employees will be thrown out of
work. At the Eagel mill the opportuni-
ty has been seized to connect another
section of the new mill and the New
Ulm Roller Mill company is keeping
it's force busy making repairs and
alterations about the buildings and
machinery.
Exactly what the outcome of the
| affair will be cannot be predicted.
Late reports would indicate that the
prospects for a peaceable settlement
are now brighter and the mills may re.
sumo operations today or tomorrow. 3.

John Bagley interviewed.
City Clerk

Hon, John A. Bagley, attorney -gener-
al of Idaho. was met and interviewed
by "News" man at the Kenyon this
morning. The subject of the Boise as
say office being one of considerable i'm
portance just now he YVES asked the
status of the situation regarding it. He
said that the long and short of Che story
was that the trea ry department at
Washington had requestea the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Cunningham, the present
incumbent, and that as it was naturally
expected it would be forthcoming, Sena-
tor Hepburn had recommended for the
probable vacancy the name of Ell. Smith
Woolley of Pocatello.
No sooner had the name OF Mr.. Wool
ley heen mentioned than q howl went
up that he was Bishop in the Mormon
Church and, for that reason should not
be permitted to hold federal Office.
Til sse at tacks emanted first from Boise.
and it was there that they were resent
ed by the people regardless of party and
Democrats and Republicans alike join
ed in q protest against any exclusion
from polite Il rights on the part of any
citizen on the ground of his religions
predictions.
In this protest it is worthy to remark

lat Mr.. Borah aud his friends heartily
joined. They were emphatic and out
spoken in their objections to any such
procedure and openly stand by them,
with the effect that this objection has
been practically surrendered. Mr. Cum
ningham's friends have, however, not
been i l. but have sent in petitions from
leading mine owners throughout the
state and the bankers of Boise asking
that Mr.. Cunnin cham be restained.
They have been SO far successful that
telegram from Washington of a day
or two ago reads as fol vs.: There
may be no change in the Boise ASSAY
office. In consequence of this the mat
ter of the removal AMI appointment are

Continuing Mr.. Eagley said that the
appointment and the controversy arts
ing out of it had precipitated fight
that will grow longer and warmer an
tnat the end was SO far away that it
could not now be seen. Mr.. Bagley is

It Was Ever Thus.

The Capital News, speaking of the
suicide of two young women at Boise,
delivers the. following as warning to
young girls who may be inclined to
follow such life:
Two unfortunate women lie dead in
McGuire's undertaking rooms today,
the result of leading life of shame
And while the world frowned upon
them when they were living in The
flesh, there was none to rescue them
from the life they We're leading or any
endeavor made to induce them to lead
better life. The fact that they took
remained in their hearts desire to
lead better life. Led astray when the
bloom of youth was still on their
cheeks, unable to Withstand the am
orous pleadings of lecherous man, they
gave up their womanly honor and soon
there was no welcome for them but the
doors of the houses of sin. Today their
bodies lie cold in the morgue. Articles
will be written and sermons preached
on the fate of these two women, now
that their spirit has departed from the
flesh which clothed the material life,
but not an effort was made during the
time life was visible in the flesh to
rescue them from the life they were
leading.
Such, society always has been, such
it probably always will be. We look to
our own firesides and not to those of
more unfortunate people. The two
women whose bodies now lie cold in
death by their own hands, were once a
ray of sunshine in some happy home.
Today they are to be buried in un-
marked graves, unhonored, with no
one to shed tear as their bodies are

on the determination of the secretary
Of the interior that the proposed irri-
cation project is practicable. the en-,
tries may be reduced in area to the
limit representing the acreage which,
in the opinion Of the secretary. may be
reasonably required for the support of
a family upon the lands in question,

Funston To Go To Pacific.

Denver, Feb. 19.-General Funston
has received orders from Washington
to make his arrangements to leave the
department of Colorado almost imme-
diately and to take command of the
department of the Pacific and Vancou.
yer.
This is done in order to let the troops
at Vancouver and along the northern
coast leave for the Philippines immedi-
ately. General Funston had not ex-
pected to leave here until April, but
will start for the Pacific coast within
a fortnight.
This department will be without a
commander for perhaps a month, or
until General Baldwin returns from

WILLIAM MAXWELL.

Representative Maxwell of this
county is receiving a great deal of de-
served commentator for the manner
In which he has fought for the bill tax
ing the mineral output Of the state.
He is n of those fearless men who
never quit till the last ditch is reached.
His first bill met defeat in the house
by a very close vote. and he then in
troduced a second and more equitable
measure, which passed the house with
little opposition. In speaking of Mr..
Maxwell. the Cheyenne Tribune says:
Representative William Maxwell of
Albany county has made a legislative
record of which not only he but his
county as well may justly be proud.
Mr.. Maxwell was the leader in the
great fight that has been made in the
house of representatives to secure the
passage Of the coal output tax bill. and
he was the introducer of the bill. which
now bears his name. While others
fought hard for the measure. it must be
conceded that Mr.. Maxwell was the
official champion of the bill and leader
OF the coal tax bill supporters. Great
pressure was brought to bear upon Mr..
Maxwell to induce him to abandon the
tight and give the matter up. but he
stood as firm as the Rock OF Ages and
eventually. through many fluctuations
accomplished his purpose

CASE IS STARTLING.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY ASTOUNpED
IN REVELATIONS MADE
IN NEW YORK.
He Would Not Be kstcunded IF Cold
SioodeG Murder Is Resorted To to
Get Bodies for the Purpose of Col
Letting Insurance Policies.

New York, Feb. 1y.-Assistant Dis
Attorney Krotel said the insur-
ance fraud case now under investiga-
ton in this city promised to develop
iutp n of the most startling ever
known in the criminal history of the
city.
Before the district attorneys Office
has finished its investigation of the as
founding and extraordinary New York
insurance frauds" he said. Il should
mot be surprised if it were proved that
the conspirators even went so far as
to murder in cold blood to get bodies
for the purpose of collecting policies.
We have found that twenty-three sub
%stitute bodies We're passed off on the
Hancock Insurance company alone,
and rs soon as the p~lotters are indicted
these will be exhumed. The investiga-
ton into the remarkable plot has hard
ly begun"
The fate Of Sarah Weber, who, it is
alleged. died from the effects of brutal
treatment. which, it is charged. she re-
ceived at the hands or the conspira-
tors, Mr.. Krotel said, was but a single
instance.
According to stories told by her rela-
tiyes. Sarah Weber was tortured in or
der TO compel her to aid in the insur-
ance frauds.
When the girl left home she had rosy
lcheeks and was the picture of health.
When her family found her she was a
shadow of her former self. She told
her brother that she had been beaten.
starved and slashed with knives to
force her to help those engaged in the
conspiracy.
