THEATR FS.

Recent events have called so much
attention to theatres and public halls
that it will doubtless have the effect
of Kidding the public of many cheap
and degrading plays, such as have to
frequent the cheap city halls and drift
out into the country between dates.
Many of these places are simply
schools of inquiry and are the breed
ing place of vice and immortality.
Their loss to the cities would be gain
to the country.
In this respect the conduct of Turner
theatre in this city is deserving of the
highest praise. While it is construct
ed so that in case of fire it can be
emptied from four sides, it is most
gratifying to know that the tone of
most of the plays that are seen there
is Of the highest order-they have a
mission as legitimate as that of lee
ture Or a musicale.
The engagement tomorrow night is
one of these. Taken as it is from the
plays of the immortal Shakespeare, it
is the highest appreciation of Ameri-
can literature and all students of
classics will be rewarded for the cost
to them of the play. It is far better
to pay the price to see plays of this
character once Or twice year than to
one of the cheaper productions, half
Of which should pay an audience to
sit through them and not a few of
them should be sued for obtaining
money under false pretenses.

WOULD ELIMINATE RISK
Northwestern Line to Inaugurate
Block System.
Change Will be Made About First
of Coming Month.
Owes It's Adoption to the Many
Accidents Recently.

A change for the better is about to
be made in the methods of operation
of the Minnesota division of the Chica-
go & Northwestern railway. Fl is
understood that the block system of
running trains will be inaugurate
and the change will probably go into
effect within month. When it is in
stalled risk will be reduced to mini
mum and the chances for collisions
practically eliminated.
The frequency with which serious
railway accidents have occurred dur
ing the last few weeks is thought to be
responsible for the order. OF late
newspapers have had almost daily oc-
casion to print accounts of collisions
or other mishaps in which scores of
persons lost their lives and although
the Northwestern has been very fortu-
nate in this respect, the officials OF the
road seem aware of theneed for greater
precautions and their decision to
divide the road into blocks is the re-
suit.
AS matter of fact the system has
been in operation in Wisconsin for
over a year and it is now announced
that it will become effective between
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1904-01-13

Wlnona and Tracy. When it will be
Installed is not known to a certainty
but operators along the division have
been notified to stand in readiness to
take the block examination and local
railroad men believe thatitis scheduled
for February LIST.
When the change is made the vaunted
train order will lose much of it's magic
power. In the past the little slips of
yellow tissue have been the rule and
guide of all conductors but with the
new system no man in charge of a train
will be allowed to encroach upon a
block while it is occupied by another
crew. This holds true, train order or
no train order, and should relieve the
dispatcher Of much responsibility.
Blocks will consist of the stretches
OF track between stations or telegraph
Offices. When a train has been re-
ported out of station, another train
cannot enter the block until the arriv al
OF the first is reported at the next
station. Thus it would seem i'm
possible to get two trains upon a
single track.
One effect of the new system will be
that it will necessitate the hiring of a
great number Of additional operators.
In many OF the small stations there
are now no operators at night but to
make the block effective men will have
to be kept at these points constantly.
1t will probably cause the road to lose
time IN moving its freight and traffic
but passengers will be enabled to
travel with far greater safety.

Weschcke in California, Mr.. Eibner,
filled the executive chair in creditable
manner. During his regime he intro
duced a number of meritorious reforms
and, if he takes the field, the assurance
may be safely offered that the city
could go farther and fare worse.
Another whose name is being used
by his friends in this connection is
DR.. George B. Weiser. OF his fitness
for the position there can be no
question, he would make New Ulm an
excellent mayor, but it is doubtful if
he would accept the nomination were
it rendered him.
City Clerk Louis .Schilling will
doubtless seek reelection to his present
Office but he may have opposition. A
year ago Al Olson, of the Eagle mill
force, received a hattering compli-
mentary vote for the position and he
might be prevailed upon to accept.
Capt. John Buschers is also being
mentioned for the place. He is a good
accountant and would make strong
candidate.
Treasurer Frank Schu bertWill proba-
bly, prove satisfactory to all factions
and the same is true Of justices N.
Henningsen and Ernst Brandt.
The terms of three aldermen, Herman
Nagel, Wd. Eibner and Ernst Gieseke,
expire this year, and only one, Mr..
Nagel, is known to be candidate for
reelection. He is alleged to have
committed himself upon several oc-
casions and intimates that the man
who defeats him must scramble along.
An aldermanic ticket which is often
proposed and which would prove
popular is F. II. Behnke in the first
ward, Alfred J.. Vogel in the second
and G. II. Dirks in the third.
This year New Ulm will not be under
the primary election law and candi-
dates will be nominated in convention
as formerly.

Addition to St. Alexander.

Rumors of an addition to ST. Alex
5ander hospital, to be built in the
spring, are being revived. For some
time past the hospital has been greatly
crowded and if the rush continues it is
likely that there will be no great
difficulty in persuading the mother
superior to recommend an addition
when she makes her annual tour of
inspection in the spring. This is the
opinion of several physicians of the
city and they heartily endorse heplan.
If an appropriation is allowed new
wing will be built for hospital pur-
poses and more room devoted to the
home for the aged.

The placing Of the city deposits at a
lower rate Of interest than could have
been secured, may not have been a
very great matter, but it goes to show
how easy it is for public officials to
play into each others hands at the
expense of the people they are expected
to serve.

The organization of the Brown

of the things this county has needed
for sometime. A uniform rate of prices

Vote on Merger Tonight.

A meeting of Flandreau Camp, No.
1912, M. w. A., has been called for
this evening to vote on the proposed
consolidation with Harmony Camp,
OF the same order. The meeting was
scheduled for tomorrow night but for
the reason that a number of the members
desired to attend the presentation Of

called day earlier than had been in
tended. The sentiment of the lodge
seems to favor the merger and there is
now little doubt but that it will be
effected.

St. Peter is rejoicing in the posses
sion OF new library building to cost
$4,000. Redwood Falls the same,
only New Ulm, out of cities of more
than 1000, is too poor to even keep up
the free circulating library the state
sends out. The difference in the rate
of interest the city gets for it's money
in order that its officials might patron
ize one another, would more than keep
up library such as the council was
asked for. But then it takes intelli-
gence to appreciate the value of a
library.

The above should indicate that st.

the fact that st. Peter has good men,
but there are just as good elsewhere
and a distribution of these things for
for which politicians exist would be
gratifying to people outside of ST.
Peter. The approaching convention
may see fit to do something in this
line.

The death of Gen. Gordon removes
the last of the Confederate Lieutenant
Generals from the realm Of the living.
Gen. Gordon has been criticised for
his failure to obey orders at Gettys-
burg and the consequent loss of Little
Round Top to the Federal troops.
After Appropriations he was the first to
acknowledge the Federal government
and in consequence was given posi-
ton at New Orleans which caused his
southern friends to turn from him.
He was true son of the south and an
American citizen Of whom none need
feel ashamed.

waits to connect with the New Ulm
train.
The Chicago & Northwestern switch
engine was ordered to 90 out and bring
in the disabled train from the east, but
when near the packing house it jumped
the track, but was later replaced. The
train did not get in until 8 p. m., two
hours after its usual time.
This fulfilled the superstition of rail
road men regarding three accidents in
succession.
The freight train over the Great West
ern road that left Mankato last evening
met with an accident before reaching
Benning, the telegraph station three
miles north of the city. A brake beam
broke and fell, causing the trucks to
be pushed out, and it was several hours
before the track could be cleared. The
passenger train from the twin cities
was obliged to come in over the Omaha
tracks, and was held at Benning nearly
two hours, waiting for a pilot and q
clear track.

treasurer, Mr.. Fletcher one aud Mrs.
Smith one Captain Keysoc'5 election
was made unanimous.
The salary of the secretary was made
$500, the same as last year. That OF
the treasurer was also made 5000, the
same as last year.
Mr. Fletcher asked whether no interest
is received on the balance of $4,000 in
the sinking and building funds. Captain
Keysor stated that none is received.
Mr.. Fletcher asked what reason the
banks have for not saying any interest
on this large balance which they have
the use of year after year.
Captain Keysor stated that he had
written to the attorney general about
the matter and that official had replied
that he did not know of any way by
which the money could be put out at in,
terest In any event it cannot be in,
vested without the authority of the
board. There is hardly enough money in
the current fund to pay the teachers one
months salary, and Il large part of the
money in the sinking and building funds
will have to be used for this purpose
before the November settlement brings
more money into the current fund.
Mr.. Fletcher said that the increase in
the teachers salaries has reduced the
balance in the current fund so that there
is hardly enough to pay the teachers
salaries for one month. The balance is
only $4,000 at present, whereas it was
formerly $4,000 to $4,000 and the CHS
trict was not dependent upon the build
ing and sinking funds to help out.
DR.. Davis suggested that this discus
sion would come better under the reports
of officers.
Treasurer Keysor presented his report,
as follows:
Current Fund-Balance on hand at
previous report, $4,6O5.O5; received from
all resources, $27, 425.74.; total, $780,

the picturesque and significant ceremony
of sounding the trumpet, when the Daal

and sounded on the rams horn the cell
which ushers in the new year.
According to the Jewish calendar, the
first day of the new year is contempor
aneous with the first day orr the new
moon in the month, Tishri, and the jew
sh calendar will give the coming OF
wear 3S5 days This is theirty-One days
more than in the Julian year and theirty
more than will be in the year to follow.
"Lishharah Horah Thekesebhu" are
the words inscribed on richly engraved
cards distributed by the members of
every Jewish family. Literally trans
lated this means: MAY you be inscrib

expresses his hope that the receiver may
have a prosperous and happy life in the
coming year. This custom is as old as
Jewish race and from it sprang the idea
of the New Years cards, containing low
ing sentiments, now so prevalent.
New Years Day, or Hosh Hashanah,
is the first day of a season of peculiar
significance that ends on the tenth day
with the solemn Day of AtOnement,
known as Yom Kippur. While the days
intervening are observed with prayer, the
season is one of Joy. Fir orthodox Jews
this season is invested with an exalted
meaning and the most solemn ceremonies
are employed. The observation begins
some days even before Rosh Heshanah.
The cemeteries are visited and rites per-
formed at the graves of the dead. In
the synagogues the scroll of the decalog
is read publicly three times each day.

We have long since learned that one
things In fact, we are amazed to see
how little practical knowledge the aver
age representative head too often fails
to contain, and yet is able to retain a
seat in our national assembly. Hundreds
of good, old, common sense farmers, see
things and appreciate conditions, far be-
yond the ken of many members of con-

As a rule, professors in colleges have
never made success of politics or
craftsmanship. They are simply theo-
rdtical not practical. There is not single
instance in our political history, where
a college professor has climbed the lad
der of fame as an American statesman.
They are too theoretical, too visionary.
They have not run up against the rugged
experiences of life, which shape and
hammer a man into knowledge of the
true science of government. Our pres
ent congressman is still "schoolmast-
err. 1t is conditions, and not theories,
which teach people what remedial meas
ures they want out of government.
For instance, people find that it is get
ting too expensive to build, and they
seek the cause. They find that they
are in the giant arms of lumber trust,
that is sheltered and protected in its
power by an eXtortionate government
