ment has been responsible in large
measure for this seeming lack of in
terest but a favorable opportunity has
now presented itself and it is the pur-
pose to push the city's claims vigor-
ously. Seconded by Congressman Nc
Cleary, and there are the best of rea-
sons for believing that hewill volunteer
his support, these aspirations are not
hopeless by any means and ultimately
recognition will be secured from con-
gress.
OF the fact that New Ulm is Justly
entitled to public building there can
be no question. It is the largest city
in the second congressional district
not already supplied and for that rea-
son is, in the natural order of things,
the next in line for preference. Several
years ago Senator Knute Nelson Sc
cured the passage of bill in the Sen
ate allowing public buildings to be
built in places of 5000 inhabitants
and as New Ulm has popul alton Of
more than {, 1000 there will be no trouble
on this score. Then, too, the loca
postoffice is deserving of new quarters
It is now firmly established in the
second class, with its receipts showing
an increase every year, and with (
total of fourteen employees on it's rolls
The amount of mail matter handled b,
Postmaster Krook and his assistant!

REACHES COST PREDICTED
Plant Now Stands Tax.
Payers 100000.
Figures Shown by Supt. Adolf
Wagner's Report.
Receipts More Than Paid Operat.
ing Expenses.

When this paper put forward the
prediction that the municipal lighting
station would cost to exceed $50, 900
the opposition press and a number of
the aldermen and their adherents de-
cried the assertion. Superintendent
Adolf Wagner's first itemized state
ment of the cost, receipts and disburse-
ments of the plant, which will be read
to the aldermen at their meeting to-
night, will show that the station now
stands the taxpayers exactly $50, 2l2.84.
1t would appear that the designing en-
gineer's original estimate was trife
modest and the bond issue of $50, 900
slightly inadequate.
Supt. Wagner's report is an ex-
haustive affair and covers the period
from the time the plant went into oper-
alton in September, 1902, to the first of
the present month. 1t shows that up
to March 81, 1908, the cost Of the plant
was $46, SS5.64. During the past year
13,327.20 additional was expended,
bringing the aggregate to $50, PIP. 81.
This outlay was made as follows:

TAGGART SHRUGS SHOULDERS
The Republican Vote in Vermont No
More Than Was to be Expected.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Sept. THE following
statement concerning the result in Yer
mont, was issued by Chairman
Thomas Taggart of the Democratic
National Committee tonight:
The result in Vermont is not sur
prising in view of the unparalleled
efforts made by the Republicans and
the quiet campaign conducted by the
Democrats. The administration con-
centrated all it's force and resources
upon that State, holding in the last
week two hundred meetings. More
over, it was proclaimed throughout
the State that the President had prom
ised the candidate for Governor to at
tend his Inauguration in case he OBJ
tanned a majority of 10000.
''In view of the efforts, never made
before by any party in September
election, it is remarkable that the ad-
miniStratiOn did not succeed in in
creasing the Republican majority. In
deed, it did not even increase the Re-
publican vote. That does not exceed
4S,050, while in 1896 it was SO, ,426,
and in 1900 it was 48441

While Hugh Ford. of No. 433 West
Fifty-fourth street, was working on
the high elevated structure of the
subway extension at One Hundred
and Sixty-seventh street and Southern
Boulevard yesterday there was a sud-
den burst of flame. which seemed to
completely enVeloD him.
Fellow workmen, seeing the flames
and hearing FOrd's screams rushed
to his assistance, but as their progress
over the structure was slow, it was
several minutes before they could
reach him. They found that bar of
iron he had been working with had
accidentally struck the third rail and
the electricity escaping had frightfully
burned him from head to feet.
High uD on the structure the trage-
dy had not escaped the eyes of those
on the street below, and they called to
the Workmen to hurry in relieving the
injured man. Women prepared to
give their assistance to the victim of
the accident when he reached the
ground
After reaching Ford his fellow
Workmen were in a quandary as TO
now he could be gotten onto the street.

ing approximately 700 men, while
marching along at night on a road
in the valley between Long Hill a1d
Division Hill met a frightful disaster

was carefully laid by the Russians
three weeks ago. 1t covered nearly 4

explosive was placed at the bottom.
The rock were placed next and On top
of these clay was packed SO carefully

Japanese were approaching. The
Russians withheld their fire for some
time. Suddenly they threw search
light up the valley. The Japanese
opened with a rifle fire. The Russians
waited until apparently the whole
Japanese column was in the danger
zone. Then the mine was exploded.
The force of the explosion knocked
n number of Russians down and the
sight of Japanese rifles, legs and arms
hurting through the lighted space
made by the searchlight was an awful
spectacle.
Some rocks landed inside the Rus
sian lines.
There was one appalling moment
during which the garrison itself was
stunned into death like silence. The
