I cannot close this essay without say
ing something about back yards. Civic
leagues have done most excellent work
in this direction.
In many places where these leagues
are organized the back yards are beauty
spots, instead of being covered with
bones and ashes, old boots and shoes,
they are converted into tasty shady
lawns.
I had hoped to speak about beautify-
ing the hills along Glenwood avenue, of
which Mr.. M. G. Willard has so often

SOmerville Law Upheld.

According to Judge Simpson, of the
Hennepin county district court, the
Western Union Telegraph company is
not exempt from taxation under the
Somerville law. Thismeasure, father
ed by Senator Geo. w. Somerville of
Brown county, requires that all foreign
corporations must have license to do
business in Minnesota and must pay
tax propoftionate toits capital stock
invested in the state. The Western
Union people thought that they did not
come within the pale of the law, mas
much as they were engaged in inter-
state commerce, and refused to comply
with it's provisions. Suit was brought
by the state and the corporation de-
INJURED, but this has been overruled
by the court and the case will come to
trial on it's merits.

PREMIUM LISTS ISSUED
Agricultural Society Preparing For
Annual Show.

Premium lists for the thirty third
annual fair of the Brown County Agri-
cultural society were issued last week
and are now being distributed. They
show that greater inducements are be-
ing offered for exhibits this year than
was the case in 1902 and this will have
the probable effect of increasing their
number. Quite number of people
possessing prize vegetables have signi-
fed to the management their intention
of exhibiting and it is thought that the
industrial booths will be we'll filled.
This fall a specialeffort will be made
to dispose of more than the ordinary
number of season tickets. Committees
have been appointed and the city
divided into districts, which will be
canvassed Systematically. Sales will
be pushed and it is certain that the at
tendance will be satisfactory.
Thursday, September 10th, will be
the opening day Of the fair and it will
continue until the following Saturday
evening. The Review, however, is re-
quested to announce that all persons
desiring to bring in exhibits before
the opening day may leave the same at
the stores of T. H. Benhke or G.. A.
Ottomeyer, where they will be given
attention.

REPORTED PUSS AS OVER
After Use Of Red Table Maif is Adopt-
ed by Depot Force.

Station Agent FL. Z. Beecher and his
assistants at the Northwestern freight
depot have a pet that came to them in
in an unusual manner. "A few days
ago an empty freight car was switched
in on the depot siding and when it was
opened a big Maltese cat jumped out
upon the platform. He was nearly
famished, but after having sampled the
depot's commissary department he
seemed we'll satisfied with his surround
ings and has since settled down to en-
oyment of his new quarters.
Now upon railroads it is customary
to keep a close watch upon the contents
of cars, so that shortages OF freight
do not occur. AS there was no record
of cat having been consigned to New
Ulm it was necessary to make a report
to the short or over department..

WONDERFUL GRAIN YIELD
Banner Wheat and Dat Crops in Fertile
AssiuibOia.

A Times man had an opportunity
this morning of looking at some of the
samples of grain brought to ST. Cloud
by Martin Mutchler and Fred. j.
Schroeder, the latter of St. Joe, who
have recently returned from two
weeks trip out in Assiniboia.
These two gentlemen together with
Mic Mueller and Miss Timmers, of st.
Joseph, own each half section OF
land south east of Regina. The soil
is an excellent black loan and some
of the samples of this years grain, as
shown by Mr.. Mutchler are nothing
short of wonderful. Nothing but No.
/ hard wheat is raised, and the straw
is SO sound the lodging is scarcely
ever experienced.
Mr.. Mutchler stated that harvesting
had begun in his section ofthec country
some two weeks since and that oats in
most places world average all the way
from 60 to 90 bushels per acre on new
breaking. Wheat is expected to bring
in the neighborhood of soto 40 bushels,
though last year in many spots it went
as high as 48 to SO bushels. A great
future is vouched for this part of King
Edwards domain.-St. Cloud Times.
The above article will prove interest
ing to those of our people who have
invested in Assiniboia lands through
the New Ulm Land and Investment
company. The farms from which the
St. Cloud parties are obtaining such
fabulous returns are located within a
few miles of the property at the dis
posal of the local company and the
soil is exactly similar. Splendid yields
of all grains are assured and it is but
question of time until Assiniboia be-
comes the greatest grain producing
country in the world.

GIVEN FAIR TREATMENT
New Ulm Roller Mill Company Gets
Property at Low Figures.

Lots /, 2 and 4, of block 1872, Park
addition, were sold at public auction
Monday morning and all were bid in
by the New Ulm Roller Mill company.
Alderman Herman Nagel and Anton
Richartz, constituting the park com
mittee, had charge of the sale and it
was commenced promptly at 10o'clock.
Lot 4 was put up first and City
Attorney JOS. A. Eckstein stated that
the municipality would not agree to
give anything better than quit claim
deed to the purchaser. He explained,
however, that the city was willing to
part with all it's interests in the pro-
perty and when Aid. Nagel called for
bids Ben Stockman submitted pro.
posal on behalf of the mill company
He agreed to give 81 for the lot and
as there were no other bidders it went
to him for that figure. The same price
was paid for lot l and S. for lot 2, the
city agreeing to give clear title in each
instance.
On the whole it would not seem that
the New Ulm Roller Mill company had
been treated half badly by the council.
They were fully entitled to lot 4 and
the sale was a mere formality but lot
2 was bargain. The mill people now
own the entire block and the city has
disposed of a series of lots which were
of little real value but which entailed
constant expense.

HUBS CHARGES FALL FLAT
w. E. Seeley Fails to Secure Divorce
From Ada Seeley.
Says "Marie" Was Woman Who
Put Him to Bad.
Plaintiffs Flirty IncIinations at
Bottom of His Downfall.

1917 + - - =
Mrs. Ada Seeley returned recently
from Sioux Falls, S. D., where she de-
Tended successfully the divorce suit
brought by her husband, ". E. seeley,4
who had charged her with cruel and in
human treatment and desertion.
It is rather an unusual thing for a
South Dakota judge to refuse to grant
a divorce when it is applied for, but
in this instance thecourt at Sioux Falls
changed the program. Seeley went to
Sioux Falls, gained a residence there
in order to have the case tried in that
state of free-and- easy divorce laws.
Seeley's troubles commenced several
years ago when he was rounded up in
New Ulm in company with woman
who was not his wife. He was oc-
cupying room with his female when
Mrs. Seeley and the chief of police of
New Ulm swooped down upon them
without warning. During the trial the
New Ulm episode cutconsiderable of a
figure, and Seeley admitted everything
almost that was laid at his door.
When asked to give the name of this
'charmer' who had led him from the
paths of virtue and duty he said it
was "Marie"-a sweet name indeed
and one that has been made famous in
story and song-and not infrequently
in divorce courts. 1t is said that this
particular "Marie" is woman of
mature years and old enoughto known
better. In fact she has reached the
age of sere and yellow, and her charms
are not visible to the naked eye. Mrs.
Seeley is charitable enough to say that
Marie is a hypnotist and that her
magnetic influence became coiled about
her husband; thus he was led to shores
of sin. The light other eye was dazzling
to the susceptible Seeley
AT the conclusion of the trial the
judge denied Seeley's application for
divorce, but granted Mrs. Seeley's
request for separate maintenance and

OFFICERS NOT WORRYING
They Do Not Regard Militia Situa
ton as Serious.
General BObleter Believes Mark.
ings Will Not Affect Guard.
Showing Due to Some Companies
Being Inspected Twice.

Officers of the Minnesota national
guard are not greatly concerned over
the rumor circulated last week that
eleven companies of the state militia
had failed to get the requisite IS per
cent in their markings. They are OF
the opinion that there is no cause for
alarm and do not believe that the war
department will attempt to muster out
the companies reported to be below
grade. In an interview Maj. Geo. c..
Lambert of St. Paul, explains the situa-
ton fully. He says:
''The companies of the guard were
marked this year on the basis of two
inspections, one made by Capt. Thomas
F. Dyer and Col. Alfred Reynolds be-
fore the encampment and the other by
Capt. Dyer at the encampment. The
prelimin airy inspection covered atten-
dance, condition of arms, uniforms,
equipment, books, files and papers and
care of state property. The other In
spection covered drill, and to some ex-
tent military discipline. r..
~/"Co1. Reynolds, at the preliminary
inspection, inspected the nine compan-
les of the Second regiment, Company
D of the Third regiment, Batteries A
and B of the artillery and the company
of engineers, but he made no detailed
report on attendance, the condition OF
arms and uniforms and the other
points which [ have mentioned. Each
of these points counts on scale OF 100,
and since the companies did not receive
credit for whatever efficiency they had
attained in this respect their average
would naturally fall very low.
Capt. Dyer, on the other hand, made
complete reports of the preliminary in
spection of the nine companies OF the
First regiment, all of which are report
ed to have got the required markings,
and the companies of the Third regi-
ment, except Company D, which was
inspected by Col. Reynolds. These
companies were marked on the above
points as we'll as on drill and disci-
pline, and naturally they Jared better
than those that were marked only on
drill and discipline.-
Sin previous years one man has had
charge of the entire inspection, and
made it at the encampment. Capt.
Dyer made general inspection at
camp this year, but it is covered only
drill and discipline"
81 When seen by the Review Brigadier
General Joseph Bobleter concurred
with the expressions of Major Lambert.
In effect, he said, part OF the compan-
les ereinspected twice by Capt. Dryer,
while others received only one inspec-
ton at his hands. Those examined
by Col. Reynolds did not receive the
markings to which they were entitled
but his view of the matter was that it
would not affect the guard in the slight
est.

Newspaper for Nervous People.

America is not the home of the
very latest in journalism. Austria
must be accorded that honor. A
Viennese bank director, assisted by
two friends who are lawyers, has de-
cided to publish a newspaper for
nervous persons. Catastrophes like
that at Martinique, big bank defalca-
tions, and other events calculated to
upset the nerves will be treated in a
soothing way, so as not to disturb SEN
sitive people. The director has in
vited some newspaper men of prom
inence in Austria and Germany to
send descriptions of recent stirring
occurrences treated in this way, and
he offers large prizes for the best
work.
