BERLIN, July 16. = Wilhelm Won
Kardorff. the veteran member Of the
German reichstag who has startled his
countrymen by declaring that the Brit
ish navy is becoming a menace to Ger
many, has achieved political fame and
honor despite the fact that he has for
more than fifty years been without a
nose. Kardorff fought a bloody rapier
duel with a fellow student while at
Heidelberg university, in the '40s, the
combat ending in the looping off, close
to the forehead, of his proboscis as the
result Of a deadly slash directed by his
antagonist. 1t might have been re-
placed, it Is said. had not the surgeon
been forestalled by one of the big mas
tiffs that generally attend their masters
at these encounters. In consequence a
wax nose had to be substituted for the
severed member and has done service
all these years. So clever is the imita-
ton that persons who are not in the
secret have no reason whatever to sus-
pect that it is artificial.
Kardorff is seVenty-six years old and
has been a dominant figure In the
reichstag for the past; thirty years. He
crossed swords upon many occasions
with Bismarck, and even today, at his
advanced age, is one of the most force
full and feared debaters in the house.

But in the eyes of the staff this policy
of the dukes was simply a demand for

lieved it to be to the public interest.
Ihe next move was a regular conspiracy
on the part of the staff to set about their
duties In go-as- you please sort of fash

got into simply chaotic state.
Undoubtedly the duke would have seen
the thing through had he met with any
support from his own superiors but the
contrary was the case. I understand
that 1t was suggested to him by his chief
in office that he had better knuckle under
and he now has done so. In fact, 1t is
said. the duke is now going on the other
tack. and attempting to conciliate the
permanent officials of his department

ends'i and taking them up the river in

LITTLE DUKE LOSES STRENUOUS CAMPAIGN


Special Foreign Service
LONDON, July 16.-Supposedly at his
American wife's suggestion. the little
Duke Of Marlborough started in to be a
real hustler not long ago. but his effort
has had rather an unhappy ending 1t
hasn't been entirely wasted. however for
it has shown over again what happy go
lucky methods obtain in the British gov
ernment service. and what determined op-
position is likely to be met with by any
one who, like the duke, attempts to in
troduce something like efficiency
Marlborough's effort to stir up things a
bit was made where his grace received the
appointment of under secretary of state
for the colonies. Soon after taking hold
of the reins he introduced into his depart

underlings there considered revolutionary

OOuUCl
The Sleepy Eye Herald in its last
issue contains the following in regard
to the matter: Chief Grain Inspector
Eva OF Duluth was in the city yester-
day comforting with President Won
Hagen OF the milling company with
reference to the matter of inspecting
OF grain. It will be remembered that
some months ago we stated to our
readers that a system of grain inspec-
tlon would be inaugurated at this place
and that all the grain to be used in the
local mills and at New Ulm, Mankato.
J anesvllle, Winona and the small mills
at intermediate points would be side
tracked here and inspected by the state
inspectors. Mr.. Eva came here to look
into the matter and start the inspection
August 1st.
The sidetracking of so many cars
here will necessitate large amount of
additionalsi detracks inthe local yards
and much of the new material for addi-
tlonal trackage is now here. Road
master George S. Brigham of this di-
vision was called into Chicago this
week to confer with the officials
ABOUT an entire Encouragement of the
switch yards. On his return work will
be started that will add a number of
miles TO the switching facilities of the
yards.

Annual School Election.

The annual school election for this
independent district took place at the
assembly room of the school building
Saturday and the two officers whose
terms expired were reelected, that is
John Henle and Fl. Rein. There was
very little interest taken in the cleo
ton and the vote was very light, the
people apparently being satisfied with
the administration of the men who have
held the Office for several terms. The
affairs of the schools have been well
handled and there is no fault to be
found with things as they stand.
While there is no branch of the city
government that is more important
than the schools at the same time there
is none that is more carelessly thought
of by those who pay taxes and it is
fortunate for them that they have com
petent men who are willing to give
their time to looking after the schools
without recompense.

the line would pass southwesterly,
cuttingoff a corner of ST. Augusta town
past Pearl Lake and down through
Maine Prairie. Whether the $500
will be crossed at Kimball or Watkins
has not yet been decided. The Grow
River will be intersected near Forest
City and the Willmar line of the Great
Northern near Litchfeld. The total
length from ST. Cloud to Mankato is
about Ito miles, and the estimated cost
to build, complete and equip is about
So. 100000.
President Y arnell and Secretary Nc
Kenzie will remain in ST. Cloud till
the end of next week, when the former
will return east and the latter go to
Litchfeld. Mr.. Yarnell will again re-
turn later on and headquarters will
then be permanently established in
St. Cloud.
The road when completed will afford
a new outlet for the products of this
section and instigate competitive rates
to Chicago and the east, and in addi-
ton form quick route of travel to
the southern part of the state.
There are those who insist that the
Illinois Central is backing the scheme
but in the language of local bust
ness man today, awhat do we care who
is backing the project, so long as ST.
Cloud is to be benefited by its consum-
nation.

More or less interest centers in the
construction of the new north and
south road that is under contempla-
ton, from the fact that it is scheduled
to come SO close to this city that a
branch will be built in, and, if the
people of the city can be sufficiently
interested, the line itself might be de-
Elected from the proposed course suffi-
Gent to strike the city. 1t is evident
from the actions of the promoters that
they are trying to bring the thing to a
head, and one move seems to follow
another. The following is from the
st. Cloud Times and shows the trend
of the affair up to this time:
AS a result of the advent of Presi-
, dent Francis Yarnell and Secretary
Mckenzie of the ssNorth and South"
line to this city, interest in that pro-
position has been ssboosted" to con-
siderable extent. In a talk with the
gentlemen today, The Times learned
that they are not seeking publicity at
present but were willing that the pub
lie know something of their plans.
With regard to the financing Of the
scheme, it is proposed first to inter-
est the business men of this city and
of other cities which will be benefited
| by the road, and then later, if condi-
tions warrant, call a public meeting.
Those backing the proposition do not
ask Immediate financial assistance.
They have the money and are willing
to go ahead and build the road but
want and expect to interest the monied
men in buying the trust bonds which
will be issued in part to cover the cost
not now, but block by block as the
road is completed.
The Minnesota Central Railroad,
they say, is no bluff, butsa sure go, il
the moral assistance is now forthcom.
ing, and later, when it is needed, the
financial assistance. The trust bonds
! which it is proposed to negotiate will
be worth par value, SO that the pur-
chaser will be getting the full value Of
his money. Bonds in only such amount
as is absolutely necessary will be is
sued.

Sometime ago at a meeting of the

determined to attempt to get an inspec-

polls and an appeal was made to the
railroads to establish one at a point
that would accommodate the mills of
this section. The matter was taken up
and it was finally decided that in the
interests of the industries of the south
ern part of the state it was necessary
that a bureau be established, accord
ingly a site was determined upon that
would be advantageous and Sleepy Eye
was chosen as such site. Therailroads
have acted with promptness in the
matter and are doing all they can to

On background of green plush are

ing the scythe, the rake and the fork,
the symbols of the farmer. Flower de-
signs of grasses common to Minnesota
also add to the pleasing effort. In the
booth are also tall glass jars of seed
grains, and all the vegetables that
thrive in Minnesota soil.
Around the base of the large pedestal
are displayed sacks of flour from the
mills throughout the state, prominent
among them beings the products of
the New Ulm mills. j. K Daniels,
director Of the exhibit, makes
genial host and is always ready to ex-
plain it's merits to visitors and adver-
tise the greatness of the north star
state. The exhibits are, of course, not
SO pretentious as some of the other
states can boast of, but they are we'll
arranged and seem to include all the
stable products of Minnesota. The
honey exhibit has not yet been INSTALL
| ed, but will be as soon as possible,
| and the garden produce will also be
added as the season permits.
The horticultural exhibit of Mime
sofa is still Respondent in rich straw
berries. One hundred and fifty plates
! were shown last week, this being the
largest display of strawberries in the
entire building. The apple display is
also crediable, and the same may be
said of the preserved fruits. The
Minnesota exhibit is about the only
one which has a center booth. This
arrangement necessitates displays
around three sides, and thus the whole
does not show off as we'll as if the ex-
hibits were arranged on tables, the
plan adopted by most Of the states.
But when the Minnesota booth was
built it was the intention that this
should be the general arrangement OF
/ all the state exhibits.
Garden flowers, such as peonies and
roses, usually serve to decorate the
Minnesota booth, and one day last
week every visitor was presented with
a peony as a souvenir.

railroad company aredeveloping plans
whereby faxstraW, of which thousands
of tons are burned every year in this
section of the country, will place over
$500, 900 annually in the pockets Of

factory near st. Paul which will
manufacture from the straw cordage
oakum mats, carpets towing and q
! thousand other ARTICLES. The north.
