TEACHING STAFF CHOSEN
Board of Eduaation Held Election
Last Night.
Only Two New Names on Their
Completed List.
District May Borrow Money From
State Fund.

Pursuing their policy of retaining
teachers whose services have proven
satisfactory, the board of education
last night reelected practically the en-
tire teaching staff of the New Ulm pub
lie schools. Only two new names app
pear upon the completed list, and in
one of these instances the vacancy was
created by the resignation of a teacher
whose poor health compelled her to
retire before the school year was fin
ished. The teachers are as follows:
High school-Susan G. Hohmann.
High school-Elmer L. Dills.
High school-Minnie A. Silverson.
Eighth grade-Mary G.. Fitzpatrick.
Seventh grade-Florence Eggleston.
Seventh and eighth grades--Mary
A. Y ankle.
Sixth grade-Agnes Mcdonald.
Fifth grade-Daisy Richardson.
Fifth and sixth grades-Stella r.
Staley.
Fourth grade-Ida Koch.
Third grade-Della Pletke.
Third and fourth grades-Benedict
Juni.
Second grade-AntOnia Zieher.
First grade-Louise NJ. Nellie.
North primary-Anna E. Schmidt
East primary-Bertha Pfeiffer.
South primary-M athilda Meile.
Special German-Hertha Weschcke.
Of the above Miss Florence Eggles-
ton and Miss Stella Staley are new
teachers. The former replaces Miss
Jessie K. Hummel. who resigned re-
Gently, and comes here with the best of
communications. She is a graduate
Of the professional course at the Man
kato normal school and has taught
during the past term at w abasso. Miss
Mary Yanke, who had the fifth and
sixth grades last year, is promoted to
the seventh and eighth, a new room
which will be created next fall on ac-
count Of the overcrowded condition o.
the grammar grades. Her place is
taken by Miss Staley, a graduate of
both the Mankato high school and
Mankato normal.
Last evening the board members de-
voted some little time to the discussion
of finance. In October next the $4,000
bonds still outstanding against the
district will fall due, and the board
expects to have between $4,000 and
$4,000 on hand then. It was voted
last night to take up $4,000 of the
bonds and refund the remaining &c.,
900, the idea being to borrow the lat
ter sum from the state investment fund
for a period Of five years.
1t was decided to call special
meeting of the voters of the district
for Wednesday evening, April 9th,
to have this action authorized.

A JAPANESE BABY.
1ts Place Is Strapped to the Back of
an Older Baby.

zts Place Is Strapped to the Back of
an Older Baby.
The babies Of all except the richest
Japanese are carried about on the back
of an elder sister or brother from the
time they are few months old. The
poorer the parents the sooner the baby
is fastened on to the back Of some
elder member Of the family and it is
not uncommon in the poorer quarters
of Japanese city to see a group Of
children six or eight years old playing
in the streets, each of whom bears a
tiny baby sister or brother fastened
with a few straps to its back.
These straps are just sufficient to
prevent the baby from falling to the
ground, leaving the comfort of its pos
ture entirely to it's own exertions. AS
result the Japanese baby early gains
a surprising control of its muscles, and
it is almost impossible to drop even a
tiny child from your arms, so firmly
does it cling on with both arms and
legs.
The dressing Of Japanese baby is
a simple matter. It wears nothing but
miniature kimonos, the number vary
ing with the condition of the weather.
These garments are fitted one inside
the other before they are put on. Then
they are laid down on the floor, and
baby is laid into them They are long
enough to cover the baby's feet, and
the sleeves are also long enough to
cover the hands. Practically there is
only one garment, and the process of
dressing a Japanese baby takes but
two or three minutes of its mothers

The Koreans,

The people of Korea are neither Jap
anese nor Chinese. They are Mon
golians and have a polysyllabic lam
guage, with a phonetic alphabet They
have a recorded history of disputed
authenticity which claims for them
continuous existence as Korean
people of about 5000 years, the earlier
part Of which of course is shrouded in
mists of traditions and fable.

NEW
CONTINENTS
WAS THE SUBJECT OF THE
FOURTH LECTURE IN POP
ULAR LECTURE COURSE.
DR.. HERBERT WlLLETT
Pleased a Large Audience at East
Main Street Church.

DR.. Herbert L. Willett. whose lee
ture at the East Main Street Friends
church last night completed the
fourth number of the Popular Lee
ture Course may well be spoken OF as
an orator. His suhiect, New Con.
tinents,' was handled most delight
fully, showing what the master hand
can do with material that is waiting
and before the eyes of all of us. If
one could but see it.
DIR. Willett touched but the beacon
lights Of world history, commencing
with the invasion of the Saracens,
their mission in Europe aud their
final expulsion Columbus. the map
maker of Genoa and the dreamer of
dreams touching a world bey nd the
ken Of the geographers Of that age,
passed before us and on to the real
ization Of things far beyond even his
own remotest limitations. and SO the
doctor led us on from the realm of
matter into that of mind, relieved by
a story now and then till one saw
in the growing child the history Of
the struggles of the race onward and
ever onward and upward through the
grosser things of the pride in physical
strength and on to the culture Of the
intellect and still onward 10 tie
un'on of these with the perfection of
the spiritual as seen in Him who was
"the light of the world. ,
President Kelly, in his introdnc-
ticn, gave warning that treat might
be looked for in the address Of DR.
W.Ilett. Someti rec those who in
troduce a speakc: rlace tic mark
beyond his reach. but III this case
President Kelly was imminently lusii-
fie by the address that followed and
1T is safe to say that any audience
room in Richmond will be taxed 10
is utmost should Dr. Willett come tc
see US again.

CORN SHOW
Clore and overstreet Get 100 Bushels
of Fine Corn for Display at ST.
Louis Exposition.

Franklin, Ind, JAN 2S.-As the re-
suit of the corn show conducted here
early this week Johnson county will
have over 100 bushels of the best
corn that has ever been seen in this
part of the state to exhibit In the
special corn show which will be a
part of the agricultural display made
by Indiana at the coming st. Louis
exposition.
The corn show here was arranged
by Clore and Overstreet, corn grow
ers of this city, who have charge of
the corn show to be made at st.
Louis. These gentlemen wished to
demonstrate in a small way that the
state can do i'll the way of furnish
ing fine corn and the exhibition here
was arranged with this in view.
Fully 1000 visitors attended the
corn show and the entries ran up to
nearly seventy-fve. Some of the
contestants sent only few prize
ears while several of them sent many
bushels just to show that all their
corn is above the average. 1t was
hard work for the judges to decide in
some cases which were the finer speci-
mems. The awarding of the prizes,
however, was accomplished to the
satisfaction even of the disappointed
exhibitors.
Messrs. Clore and Overstreet Sc
cured from the exhibitors permission
to use all the corn. which was sent In
to the show here to go into the state
exhibit which they are now planning.
When the corn was measured it was
found that over 100 bushels had been
sent in
At the last meeting of the world s
fair commission held in Indianapo-
lis the corn show promoters reported
that they already have promises of
enough corn to insure the exhibit
and they are now at work on their
plans for the corn show.

RlCHMOND'S LOST
OPPORTUNITIES
CAN BE RECLAIMED BY OUR
MONEYED MEN.
Observation-Disclosures
And Investing Their Money at Home
The Results Would be
Different.

If Richmond capital that IS invest
ed elsewhere were invested at home
what kind Of a city would we have
here just think of the money i'll
vested in the mines in Zacatecas,
Mexico. in South America, in the
coffee plantations Of Nicaragua and
also in Mexican mines. Then there IS
considerable of our surplus change
invested in the gas belt towns. II
this money were invested In factories
here at home. what would our popula-
tion be- II the past ten years New
Castle. whose monied men couldn't
see anything ahead for their town,
has increased about 75 per cent. Fac
tories were organized and the citizens
who had savings invested in building
sites encouraged factories. and the
result has been phenomenal. This IS
not only the case with New Castle,
but other places. Evansville IS max
inc rapid strides toward securing
shops and factories and adding to her
population.
We have here one Of the best cities
in the state. It is not a mushroom
town. but one that it took long years
to build, and we have a class Of work
men here that cannot be surpassed
anywhere Most of them are proper
ty owners and are interested in ev-
cry movement for the development Of
the city.
If we had few more organizations
like the South Side Improvement As
sociation it would not be long until
Richmond could boast of a popula-
ton of $4,000 inhabitants.
Now let some enterprising men
with capital build a number of small
houses that will rent for a small
amount, say so and they will
add ever so much to the city.

The W. D. Virgins, who is taken
from the Toledo division of the Pan
handle and made engineer Of main
tenance Of way of the Terre Haute

of Mrs. Harriet Virgins, of north
seventh street, and a very worthy
young man in every way. He has
made engineering a study since his
boyhood and his proficiency in rail

dict that it won't be long until Mr..

THE UNDERHILL
AFT AIR AGAIN
Mr.. UNDERHILL RETURNS
HOME AND SAYS THE
STORY
OF HIS ELOPEMENT
With the Fawcett Woman is Not
True That He Was Away on
Business.
OF HIS ELOPEMENT

This morning a telephone message
waatsreceived at this Office from AL
fred Clarkson Underhill, saying he
had gotten back home and was sur
pris d to hear that he was charged
with elopement with the Fawcett wo-
mar. He emphatically denies the re-
porf and says there is no truth in it,
as he has not seen the woman IN ques-
ton and does not know of her where
abouts. He said he went away as he
usually does, on business pure and
simple and doesn't see how the re-
port started.
We give Mr.. Underhill credit for
his statement, but there are those
who think otherwise. We are glad
however, to know that the matter is
settled and that Mr.. Underhill is al
home among his people.

AUTOMOBILES
Speed Ordinances in England-The
Motor Car.

English automobilists are still
struggling in the meshes Of speed or
dinances which are enforced with
more vigor and less justice than on
this side of the water A welI-known
manufacturer and. motorist, r. Mof-
fatt Ford, has acted upon the COM
posite proverb, cts a long worm
that has no turning, " and has pushed
proceedings against four electric mo-
tormen who were fined for exceeding
the legal speed limit for street rail
ways.
Mr.. Ford s argument in favor of
the motor car is that, weighing only
eighteen hundred pounds, and pro-
vided with at least two sets of
brakes. it can not only stop quickly
in much shorter space, but can steer
clear of danger, while an electric
car weighs fourteen tons, and has
only one way Of avoiding danger by
using its brakes. "Supposing each
vehicle to be driven by a driver of
average intelligence cries Mr.. Ford.
"Upon which vehicle would it be
sensible to impose the more stringent
speed regulations And yet for sew
eral years past, motor cars have been
increasingly harassed in the manner
[ have described, while cars have
been permitted by the authorities to
travel at double their legal rate with
impunity.''
This is an ingenious bombardment,
and would be more effective if every
driver of motor car were equipped
with average intelligence. In
America, legalized speed of thirty
miles an hour for automobiles. and
twenty for street cars in cities would
massacre the population so fast that
the next government census would be
purely nominal undertaking.
There will be lots of automobiles
next summer In and around this CITY

REVOLT IN UNUSUAL WAY.

Tangier, Jan. %. Because the
government attempted to force the
circulation of copper coins at an ar
tifcial value, but refused to take
them for taxes, a mob burned down
the gates of the Christian cemetery,
exhumed bodies, cut off their heads
and paraded through the city with
the heads on poles. They also at
tempted to kill the Jews, but were
prevented by closed gates. The riot
ended by the promise of the govern
ment to withdraw the Objectionable
currency.
