KEROSENE LAMPS TO 60
Northwestern Depot to Be Elec-
trically Lighted.
Thirty or Forty IncandescentS Will
be Installed.
G,,,,t WAGNER VIII Wire, the. R1,iiH
Supt. Wagner Will Wire the Build
ing This Week.

Electric lights are to be installed at
the local Chicago & North western
station and the depot will be greatly
improved thereby. The matter has been
under consideration by officials Of the
road for some time and a decision has
at last been reached. On Saturd ay
Superintendent Adolf Wagner, of the
municipal plant, received instructions
to go ahead with the work and his men
will begin wiring the building today
or tomorrow.
A more adequate manner Of lighting
the New Ulm depot has long been need
ed. On dark nights the Pickering ker-
osene lamps served only to exasper-
ate and strangers entering the city
have frequently been heard to remark
that it was strange the road would
erect so fine a station and then fail to
illuminate it properly. The fact that
kerosene was obsolete was probably
recognized by Northwestern officials
but they never took steps to remedy
| the defect.
When Supt. W. D. Beck was ap-
pointed several months ago, however.
his attention was called to the matter
and he seems to have taken it up eff
fectively. At all events II. A. Farrelly
an electrical engineer in the employ O.
the road, was sent here on the fifth O.
the present month to investigate the
situation and report upon condition:
as he found them.
He mapped out a plan for lighting
the station and the platforms and esti
mated that from thirty to forty light:
would be required to give the ligh
needed. Figures were obtained fror
Supt. Wagner and he then submitte
favorable report. It has resulted il
the lights being ordered and the sta
ton will be connected with the cit
plant before the end of the week.
Thus the depot's one drawback i
removed and it would seem that tn
, Northwestern has set an example whic

Laughed and Lost Her Cud.

A New Ulm woman is in serious

new joke. She laughed, the gum

know what the Commercial Union is
going to do, because it does not see
fit to pay $500 for membership in
the state league, and suggested that it
would be better to disband If it does
not. AS long as the Union is baked
in almost every move, by the city of
fcials, it cannot be expected to en-
thuse very heartily in any enterprise.
s'What's the use," the members ask,
and that is the substance of the whole
thing. This Union was asked to have
members at the gathering Of the state
meeting of municipal bodies and some
of the members went down there; one
of them got an Office. Is that not
enough? An organization that is pre-
vented from doing good at home that
it may be made to do good abroad,
had better be disbanded. It looks as
though it would be waste OF the
money to use it for such purpose.
Senator Hanna has passed from the
realm of the living to that of the dead:
one of the most conspicuous and prob
ably one of the least understood men
of the age. Virtue and vice ascend in
an adverse ratio to high donors; thai
! is the higher a mans honors in polit-
ical life, the greater are the vices at
tributed to him. The cOmmOner peO-
pie are credited with more virtues be-
cause no one has all object in attrib-
uting to them anything else; but let
them attempt to get above their level
and there is no limit to their imputed
corruption. To be as intimate an as
sociate of the late VIM. Mckinley as
he was Senator Hanna must have pos
sessed qualities of manliness and
character above the average. He is
dead! Like great rock from the
huge quarries Of time he is now build
ed into the temple Of the past; and he
| will be remembered for his kindly
nature and persistent mastery of every
thing that he undertook, long after
those who barked at his heels have
| been forgotten.

J. A. Nietscke has broken out again

cal spells, which unlike the humps or
measles seems to return with every in

which cases there is absolutely no
cure, but if it is common indigestion
a little of this new radinm-charged
water which illuminates the interior,

to be seen that he is suffering and has
inflicted his misery on the readers Of
the Herald; for he evidently believes
that misery loves company. Probably
over the name of Nietscke these arti-
cles attract more attention than they
would if the author signed his own.

1t would be poor policy for any per-
son to advocate a partisan ticket for
the city election in this place. The
city is not large enough to divide on
party lines. If voters are careful to
select the best men for Office the city
will be we'll served. The great trouble
is that personal~sprejudices too often
blind people who vote for public Off
Gals. Party lines are all right where
districts are SO large that the men are
not known personally, but where they
are known men should be SO jealous
of their city's interests that they will
forget parties and prejudices when
they cast their ballot even if they re.
sumo it the moment after.

FATHER MENGES
 ELECTED ABBOT
NEPHEW OF THE LATE ABBOT BENEDICT MENGES BECOMES HEAD OF ST. BERNARD MONAS- TERY NEAR PULLMAN.

Culman, July 2O.-(Special) )--Father ard monastery was this morning elected abbot of St. Bernard and president of St. Bernard college to succeed Abbot Bene- dict Menges who died last week. The election was made by the thirty founda- tion members of the Benedictine commit nifty.
 Father Bernard Menges, the new presi- dent and abbot. Is a nephew to the late abbot, and for some time has been the vice president and director of St. Ber- nard college. He Is SS years of age, and a man of sterling character, and highly polished Christian gentleman.
 This election has to be confirmed by Pope Plus X, after which the new ab- bot receives the blessing of the bishop, and is then ready to assume his du- ties Ether Boniface Seng will be prior of St. Bernard monastery during the in- terregnum until the new abbot has been fully qualified, which will require sev- eral months.
 The candidates considered by the elect ing body are not known by outsiders. and could not be secured neither could the number of ballots taken. The mem bers were in session for a little less than two hours. They met this morning at 9 o'clock. The new abbot is a good man, and his election seems to be thoroughly satisfactory to the people connected with tha college
 Bernard Menges, the new abbot was born at Obermohr, Bavaria, December Il. 1866, and came to America when a child. He was educated at St. Vincent's g monastery in Pennsylvania. He came to CLllman and Joined the Benedictine or der here when it was founded, twelve years ago. He was made director of the college, which position he held with cred- 1t for two years. after which he went to Tuscumbia, Ala, where he served as pas tor for some time. From here he went to Ripley, O., where he served as pastor for five years. From Ripley he returned to St. Bernard and was made director and vice president, which positions he has held since He was ordained priest July 19. 189.
 St. Bernard college will open on the 7th of September, with the finest pros- poets in its history. This Is one of the finest colleges in the south of its kind, and it's success Is very gratifying to the people of Cullman.
 Father Giles. secretary and treasurer of the college. will go to Birmingham next week in the interest of the institution. He will be the guest of Father O'Reiley of St. Pauls church while there.

 beaten out of her by being thrown against
