nice mention

Strong Statement From Mayor Smiths Private Secretary

''This is only an illustration of the

is possible that he will do so. There
is possibility, too, that he will take
the stump in Minnesota for Roosevelt

He has been Mayor Smiths private
secretary four years and not long ago in
formed the mayor that he felt it his
duty to work for President Roosevelt

would cause the mayor any embarrass-

FLAMES EAT UP MONEY.
Nine Years Of Labor Is Destroyed in
Twinkling.
from Thursdays Daily.
By H. ]. Sullivan, Secretary.

She worked nine long years to save
Il little sum to ease her declining years
and then mistake made by her daught-
er in building fire and the whole
amount was reduced to ashes. Such is
the bitter tragedy which has entered
into the life of Mrs. Caroline Salmann,
widow seventy three years old living
on Third South street between Mime
sofa street and Broadway.
The accident happened some time ago,
but the widow told no one, not even her
ueighbors, until a few days ago, when
the story became known 1t is sad in
the extreme.
Mrs. Salmann lives alone with her
daughter, Ella, and earns her living by
knitting. She has managed in this way
to make living and save little besides
But it has been hard work and now she
is an old woman and her health is fail
ing.
She had got together in all $40O and
this amount she had loaned out to a
friend. When he paid her back the
money she put it in an envelope and
planned to deposit it in the bank where
she had previously kept her savings.
As she was getting ready to take the
money down town a friend called and
she put the envelope on newspaper.
When the friend rose to 90 Mrs. Sal
mann went with her outdoors leaving
her daughter alone in the room. The
latter thought she would start fire and
make some tea, and took the paper off
the table containing the money to light
it with.
When her mother came in and dis
covered her loss she was desperate. All
the $500 was in the envelope except $45
she had saved out to pay her rent and
buy wood. She rushed to the stove
and tried to draw the paper out, but the
currency was already in ashes and her
savings were gone.
While she is not destitute as yet Mrs.
Salmann's supply of money is extremely
meager and she may need aid before the
winter is over. Her daughter is par
tial invalid.-New Ulm Review.

erty holders that we do the work, let
them return to us our bids, bidding
construction and maintenance bonds
and if they feel that they can secure
lower bids in the spring, go ahead, we
will surely be there to bid.
We sent a representative to your
city, bid on your work in good faith,
secured healthy competition for you,
were the lowest bidder by several
thousand dollars, have furnished all the
necessary bonds to guarantee that we
carry out any and all agreements re-
quired by the city, even covering Alder
man Kleinschmidt' anxiety for the
workmen employed on the work, as our
bonds secures them, so he can rest easy
on that point.
1t seems to us unreasonable to ask
our Mr.. Mccarthy, who is constantly on
the Jump looking after our various con-
tracts now in course of completion, to
60 to the expense of time and money
making a trip to Mankato, when he has
already explained our position in this
matter.
We respectfully ask your board of
public works and city council to re-
turn to us either contracts duly signed
up by proper authorities, or return our
bonds.
In conclusion will say emphatically
that we are not trying to evade, on
any pretense whatever, the obligations
of these contracts, and as an evidence
of the same, we refer anyone, so dispos-
ed to think, to our bonds.
Yours very truly,
