School for Road Makers.

Mr.. Dodge strongly recommends that
there be established at Washington a
school for road MAKERS. He states that
while the colleges and universities turn
out hundreds Of civil engineers each
year very few OF the young men have
any practical expeli nee In building a
road. The consequence is that large
amounts OF money havs been wasted.
Hs suggests that 4 sort OF post grad
uate school be established in connection
With the office Of public road inquiries.
These lectures would be given by the
Office experts; laboratory work could be
demonstrated, and by taking part in the
actual construction OF the sample roads
the students could get a practical
knowledge of the science. The French
established such a school in 1747

WAS NO GREAT DIFFICULTY
Delegates Easily Landed Catholic
Convention.
LIE Sueur Only Other City to Take
the Field.
Two New Ulm Men Were Elected
to State Offices.

New Ulm gets the twenty-sixth an
nual convention of the German Catho-
lie Benevolent Aid association. Last
week at Wabasha delegates from So
cieties in various Minnesota cities
voted enthusiastically to come to New
Ulm in 1904 and the big meeting will
be held here during the last week in
September. The victory of the repre-
sentatives of St. Joseph's Unterstuet-
lungs Verein came after a warm con-
test with delegation from LIE Sueur.
That city made a determined effort
to land the convention. They went to
Wabasha with the promise of $500 from
the LIE Sueur city council and sub
mitted a written invitation to the dele
gates. When this had been read Rev.
Father H. B. Sandmeyer arose and
invited the convention to New Ulm and
on the first ballot it was voted to come
here. The LIE Sueur men took their
defeat in the best of spirit and promis-
ed to bring their society to New Ulm
in a body one year hence. They will
undoubtedly be given the meeting in
1905 and then St. cJoseph's society will
reciprocate by travelling to LIE Sueur.
Father Sandmeyer and the other
local delegates returned from W abasha
at midnight Wednesday and they report
a very successful meeting. TWAS voted
to levy assessments every month in
future, instead of atirregular intervals
as heretofore, and the delegates also
favored an increase of twenty per cent
in the amount of assessments. This is
done to better provide for the reserve
fund, which has already attained re-
spectacle proportions, reaching atotal
of $75, 900. One hundred dollars was
ordered sent to the new pope.
Officers were elected as follows:
George Gerlach, St. Paul, president;
H. P. Sandmeyer, New Ulm, vice
president; John Juenemann, St. Paul,
secretary; P M. Kerst, St. Paul,
treasurer; George Stelzle, Minneapolis,
organizer; Paul Kemp, Winona; John
S. Grove, St. Paul; William Brust,
Sleepy Eye; Wd. Elmer, New Ulm;
Math Gress, Minneapolis, executive
committee. Theo. Fl. Scherer was
elected member of the finance CON-
mittee.

LOST CHILD RECOVERED
Mother Finds Daughter After Search
ing Two Years.

It will be remembered that few
months ago the Herald contained an
account of woman visiting St. Peter
in search of her child. The woman,
it appeared, had been twice married,
and by her first husband had four
children. The husband died, leaving
the woman with no property and with
no means of supporting her children.
She had them placed in the state
school for INDECENT children. Later
she married Mr.. Robbins, of Will
mar, man of much wealth. She
sought her children and had no trou-
BILE in getting three of them. The
fourth and youngest had been placed
in home by the school authorities,
and they refused to give the mother
any clue to the wherea bouts of the
child.

cat Valley Forge" has perhaps en-
joyed the distinction of having been
one of the greatest successes on tour
the past season from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. It is one of those plays
one feels better for having seen, so
pure in tone and sentiment, abound
ing as it does in thrilling situations
and logical climaxes. The scenic ef-
fects, of which the entire four acts are
carried, are true to the atmosphere of
the period and show the quaint design
of architecture used by our ancestors.
The presenting company has been
selected with great care and is headed
by Miss Ida Root Gordon, supported
by accompany ofequally strong players.
The attraction is assuredly one of the
dramatic events of the present season.

ORGANIZE BOWLING LEAGUE
DevOtees of Game Making Plans
For Winter.
Would Form Several Teams of
Five Men Each.
Prize For Club Making the Best
Season Record.

~. Bowling enthusiasts in New Ulm an
ticipate lively season during the COM
ing winter. Followers of the game
have devised a plan for reviving in
terest in it and would organize bowl
ing league, to be conducted along the
same lines as the leagues in St. Paul
and Minneapolis. Their scheme is to
have half dozen or more clubs contest
for series of prizes and from the en-
couragement which the promoters are
receiving it would seem that they will
find no difficulty in bringing the matter
to successful issue.
It is proposed to form clubs of five
men each and to arrange a regular
schedule of games to. be played on
Frank Burg's alleys. In drawing up
the schedule each club would be slated
for a certain number of games with
every other team in the league and
each team would play at least once a
week. Two or three evenings of every
week would be set aside for the league
games and on those nights the alleys
would not be open to the use of the
public.
AS an inducement for bowlers to-
enter the lists prizes would be hung up
for the highest scores made weekly
and also for the best mark at the end
of the month. The games would be
played in series of three and the club
winning the largest percentage of it's
contests would be declared the cham
pion of the leaguer and would receive
a loving cup or some other suitable
prize when the schedule had been COM
pleted.
A bowling league for this city is
decidedly an innovation and devotees
of the pastime are taking very kindly
to the idea. Already a number of these
have come forward and the indications
are that there will be no trouble in
getting the required number of clubs.
It is understood that the Columbus
will enter quintette in the race, five
doctors of the city are grooming them
selves for championship honors, the
drug clerks will enter, and announce
ment is made that the Stricken and
OttOmeyer blocks are to have repre-
sentatives in the tournament.
The league will in no wise affect the
Columbi as-New Ulm's old line bowl
ing club. They will maintain distinct
and separate organization and will
hold their regular practice matches as
in the past always holding themselves
iiln readiness to meet and defeat bowl
ing aspirants from other towns in the
state.
