ally reliable information regarding the
Russian military plans confirms the re-
peated announcements made by the AS

generally believed abroad, and take

experience of Russia during her war

When you see four or five bees rest

The boy nodded and went out. He
was gone at least ten minutes.
When he came back his face was

had alighted-was beginning to swell.
He held out his hand.

Railroad roorbacks and falsehood

Railroad roorbacks and falsehoOds,
attacking Judge Turner, the railway
commission candidate for governor, are
in circulation in Walla Walla county.
One Of them is contained in circu-
lar classifying the proceedings of the
constitutional convention Is years ago.
The absolute falsity of their handful
is shown on page 328 of the constitu-
tional convention journal, which re-
cords the fact that Judge Turner offer
ed the following provision providing
for the creation of railroad commits
sion:
"a railroad commission is hereby
established, which will consist of
three commissioners. The terms of
office of such commissioners shall be
four years and they shall be appointed
by the governor by and with the advice
and consent of the senate.
1.-The members of said commission
shall be qualified electors. Said COM
mission shall have such powers and
perform such duties and the members
receive such compensation as may be
provided by law"

ingmen in speech delivered at Spo-
kane mass meeting held in 1894. That
charge is absolutely false. The best
proof of that fact is that Judge Turner

He then read an ordinance which he
had prepared and in which the COM
pany asked for franchise to remain
in force twenty years and to be ac-
cepted by the company within twenty
days after its passage. In return he
agreed to furnish all phones used by
the city or city officers free of charge
and evinced willingness to make any
concessions which the city thought
necessary for the protection of its In
terests. He requested immediate ac-
ton but President Eibner declared
that it would be impossible for the
aldermen to give him any definite
reply without investigation and the
council was constituted a committee
of the whole to look into the situation
and report on March I'D.

AGlIN At HEAD OF SCHOOLS
Supt. f. T. Critchett Reelected
Last Night.
Has Served Ten Terms With Abil-

Splendid Record Possessed by Local
School Man.

Professor E. T. Critchett, for the
last ten years superintendent of the
city schools, was last night reelected
for the eleventh time. The action was
taken by the members of the board of
education at their regular meeting for
the month of March and as in former
years was unanimous. It is a just
recognition of his excellent work and
gives him a record for continuous
service which can be boasted of by but
few school men in the state.
S In his ten years in this city Prof.
Critcbett has brought the schools to a
plane where they are on par with
any in the state and his achievements

Rival telephone companies may be
operating in New Ulm before the SUM
mer is over if the plans OF Mankato
promoters do not miscarry and their
requests are granted. They have pc
toned the council for a franchise to
build line into the city and agree to
establish an exchange here upon the
granting of the privilege. They made
known their Intentions at the meeting
last nj ght and their announcement ere
ated quite stir in the council cham
Der. 1t came as a complete surprise
and non-plussed the aldermen.
After the council had convened last
evening Vim. N. Plymat, judge of the
Mankato municipal court, with }. IL.
Doty and Geo. Schlottmann OF Court
land, appeared before it. Judge Ply
mat addressed the aldermen and ex-
planned that he came as a representa-
tive of the Mankato Citizens Telephone
company, its Twin City connection,
the Minnesota Valley Telephone com
pany, and another Of it's contiguous
lines, the Farmers Telephone compa-
ny. The latter, he said had recently
organized with capital stock of S25,
900, now had line running from Man
kato to Lake Crystal, and thence to
CORTLAND, and was DESTROYS of extend
ing to this city to enter into competi-
ton with the Minnesota Central Tele-
phone company.
In the way of citing advantages
which might accrue from their compet-
ing with the system already established
here he declared that prior to the
building of the Mankato Citizens the
Northwestern officials, who then en-
ioyed a monopoly in Mankato, hae
exacted monthly charges OF 81 for bus
mess and So for residence phones
These rates had been forced down tc
So. SO and $3.50 and he inferred that the
same results would follow their entry
into New Ulm. He was able, he stat
ed, to guarantee satisfactory service
to the Twin Cities and promised thai
his company would install modern
exchange.
