college Graduates Engaged.

Quite a compliment, one which should
be pleasing to the faculty has been paid
to DR.. Martin Luther college by the
demands made upon it to supply
teachers for preparatory schools. This
year all of the members of the gradu-
ating class had been engaged as
teachers months before they received
their diplomas and class of more
than twice the size could have found
situations, fact which testities to the
thoroughness of the college course Of
instruction. OF the seven graduates this
spring, six will teach in parOchial
schools in Minnesota and Wisconsin,
while E. W. Reid. the colored mem
Der, will work as an instructor in the
Lutheran negro mission in North
Carolina.

miles upon miles of land being covered
with water. At North Topeka, Kansas,
several hundred persons have been
rendered homeless and there Mr..
Mullen saw a pitiful sight. AS his
train passed through the suburbs he
noticed small dwelling almost SUBJ
merged. The water h ad mounted above
the windows and on a roof was seated
a woman and her three children. She
was waving her arms violently for help
and a crowd Of men on shore were
making hurried preparations to rescue
her from her perilous position, the
surroundings making a very dreary
and dismal picture. In the south
Messrs. Mullen and Chas. Stuebe pur-
chased 2,300 head of cattle and the
latter is now with them atKansas City,
Mo. When heard from last he did not
know when he would be able to ship
the animals to the ranch in South
Dakota, as all the railroads were
blocked by the high water.

TraYerSed Flood Belt.

M. Mullen returned Sunday after
noon from his trip to Texas and New
Mexico, where he went several weeks
ago to purchase cattle for the Mime
sofa and Dakota Cattle company, of
which he is president. On his way north
Mr. Mullen passed through that portion
of the country which is now suffering
from floods and he reports that the
newspaper accounts of the latter are
not exaggerated in the slightest. His
first experience with the floods was at
Wellington, Kansas. where they were
compelled to unload their stock and
wait for several hours while the rail
road company could repair its tracks.
From that point northward to Sioux
City, Ia, the inund alton continues,

For the present no attempt. is being
made to handle all the mail for the
three carrier districts, nor will such
an attempt be made for some weeks to
come. A short interval will be allowed
the carriers to familiarize themselves
with their duties and the free mail de-
livery will then be systematized.
Temporarily the delivery districts
will be as follows: No. 1, Henry
Petry, carrier, begins on the north
side of Third North street from Payne
street to Front street. All of Front to
north side of First South street, thence
to Garden street. Both sides of Gar
den street to Center street and DR..
Martin Luther college and all of Payne
street street to south side of Third
North street, including all streets
within said boundaries. ..->
No. 2, A. F. Burmeister, carrier,
begins at Ninth North street. Both
sides of that street are carried from
Payne to German and all of the latter
to the north side. of Third North
street. From thence to Payne, carry
ing both sides Of Payne to Fifth North
to ST. Alexander hospital. Returning
to Payne street, both sides are carried
from Fifth North to Ninth North and
all streets between.
No. 3, F. j. Hubbard, carrier, is on
the south side of First South street
from Garden to Front. Both sides of
Front to Eighth South, return. on
Front to Seventh South and both sides
of latter to Minnesota All of Mime
sofa to Sixth South and all of Sixth
South to Washington. On Washing
ton to Fifth South and thence to
Franklin. All of Franklin to Second
South to Garden street, both sides of
latter to south side of First South
street, including all streets between.
This arrangement will be given a
thorough trial and if everything
proves satisfactory the districts as
given above and which were outlined
by postoffce inspector, will be
adopted. On the other hand, how
ever, if it is demonstr ated that the car
riers are covering too much territory,
| the district will be materially reduced
in size.

ITS SUBURBS FLOODED
Minnesota OverfOws Its Banks at
MankatO. ..
Mayor Taylor Of That Place, Kept
Telephones Busy.
James Hodson Reported as Hav-
ing Drowned at Judson.

Mayor Chas. T. Taylor OF Mankato,
advertised on the bills as the biggest
and jolliest mayor on earth, had wor-
ries of his own last week. Following
the heavy rains and after the water in
the Minnesota had begun rising rap
idly, Mayor Taylor phoned to the
Eagle mill at this place frequently to
learn of the progress of the river.
His first messages were received on
Thursday, the day the situation in
Mankato first became serious, and for
a time unfavorable reports had to be
sent in. That day the river continued
to rise steadily but at noon Friday,
when the Mankato executive called up
New Ulm, he found that the crisis had
passed. No increase could be dis
cerned and by nightfall the waters
had begun to recede.
At this place the difference was not
very noticeable. Saturday and Sun
day the water fell about a foot and
this had a tendency to reduce its
depth at Mankato nearly three feet.
While the river was at it's highest con-
siderable damage was done in Mayor
Taylor's town. Several of the sub
urbs, including North and West Man
kato and the portions near the North
western tracks were flooded and in
many instances people were compelled
| TO abandon their homes.
!! All told the water rose 10 feet above
the river level, two feet below the
flood of 1897 and five feet under the
| highwater mark of 1881. Much of the
water came from the Blue Earth river
| and the inundation covered several
residence sections. The brick yards
and other property in the bottom
| lands suffered severely and it was by
| no means an uncommon sight to see a
man fishing from his front porch or
| out his kitchen window, while row
boats were brought into requisition to
New Ulm review., 1903-06-03
make the journey to and fro.

Before the waters subsidized the coun-
try between Judson and Mankato pre-
sented very damp appearance. Just
below Judson the Minnesota had left
It's banks, covering the entire valley.
Farm houses were to be seen surround
ed On all sides by water and there
were evidences of outbuildings having
been washed away. Debris of various
kinds hoated beneath the wagon bridge
at MankatO and at one time the cur
rent carried team of heavy horses,
still attached to the wagon which they
were pulling when drowned.
Late last week it was reported that
one life had been lost in the flood.
James Hodson, a young man residing
near Judson, turned up missing and
for a time it was believed that he had
perished in the river. Thursday night
.Hodson, who is employed by George
McCarger, crossed the stream in a
boat belonging to the latter and went
to Judson. He was seen in that vii
,lage about 9 O'Clock in the evening but
his subsequent actions could not be
accounted for. ... .--
His boat was found Friday morning
floating near the shore two miles below
Judson. The oars were missing and
there was no trace of the occupant.
Searching parties which were sent out
failed to find him but on Saturday a
sister received a photograph which he
had mailed in this city. He is sup
posed, to have suddenly decided to go
west and his turning his boat adrift
lead to the belief that he had been
drowned.

MERGER OF QUARR|ES
IN MONROE COUNTY
Eastern Capitalists Are Making an
Attempt to Consolidate Stone
Mills Under One Ownership.
COST WILL BE $7oo,ooc

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BLOOMINGTON. Ind, Dec 14--It is no
longer a secret that an Eastern company
of capitalists is figuring buying num-
Der of stone quarries and mills in Monroe
county and consolidating them under one
ownership and management. To that end
options are 10 be taken upon at least five
quarry companies, the total cost of which,
If the trade is carried through, will amount
to over 10000.
The different companies approached and
asked to name a price are the Monroe
County, owned largely by the Adams Broth
ers, the Chicago and Bloomington, owned
by William johnson, the National, The
Mathers, owned by w. w. Wicks and 9TH
ers, and the Star and Hunter Valley 1t is
stated that the Adams Brothers priced
their property too high. but that the other
quarries are now in the consideration.
The syndicate Is made up of Eastern
capital. with view of furnishing stone for
Eastern cities. The idea is said to have
come from the remarkable success of the
P. NJ. and b. Company, of /Harrodsburg.
The plan would be to operate under one
consolidation, each quarry having an as
sistant superintendent under one general
manager. The result OF the deal will be
known within a month.

AROMA SUICIDE WAS
Il PAROLED PRISONER
Horse Thief Who Cut His Throat
Had Penitentiary Sentence
to Serve.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ELWOOD, Ind, Dec. H.-Coroner Ray Of
Noblesvflle, was at Aroma this morning
and there held an inquest over the body of
John Haskell. the twenty-seven-year-ol
young man, who, rather than submit to ar
rest on a charge of DEMONSTRATING, cut his
throat at the home of his brother in Aroma
early Sunday morning. His verdict was
that Haskell came to his death by his own
hand. The funeral will be held at the home
of the dead mans brother, William Has
kett, where the suicide occurred, Tuesday
morning. and interment will be in the Cook
cemetery near New Lancaster.
An additional incentive for Haskett's
shocking manner of ending his life was
found to-day, when 1t became known that
he was a paroled convict from the State
Prison, and knew that If he was arrested
again he would be returned to serve out his
June Haskell stole a horse and buggy be-
longing to Wesley Talbert in this city, and
1t was for this ofense that he was SEN
fenced to prison, being released on parole
after serving one year.
Haskell was known an industrious and
clever young man when not in his cups,
but drink made a mailman of him, and in
variably landed him in trouble.
