Broad Guasing the c. & c. Railroad.

The work of broadguaging the 9

as the $50 laps and Greeks employed
can be crowded along and material OBJ
tanned. The heavy rails and wide
ties have reached Dayton. The long
curve at Mound House will be done
away with and straight shoot be
made across the chalk hills. The
manner of construction the road is
such that will not Interfere with the
running of the narrow gauge in the
least. The large sO-pound rails are
being laid outside Of the small rails
and enough long ties laid under them
to keep them in place. After this
work has been completed the long
ties will be put in all along and the
road bed balasted up so that heavy
trains and engines can be used.

NEW SCHOOL FUND NOW $4,000
Country Collections Finished, Committee to
Start in City.

The committee appointed to collect
funds for the building of the new
Catholic parochial schoolhouse has
finished it's work in the country with
very gratifying results. NSigel, Cot
tonwood, Milford and Lafayette have
contri buted SIG, ZOO to the school.
This is an excellent showing and
has greatly encouraged the committee
in the work of raising the SAC, 1000
needed. AS yet very little work has
been done in New Ulm, but this week
a committee will be appointed to start
in on the city collections.
The canvas will be thorough and
it is the plan to ask contributions
outside of the regular church men,
bers. Probably all the business men
of the city will invited to contribute
and it is thought that a large number
of them will respond literally.
The committee thinks that as the
Catholic school relieves the public
schools of large burden and so
saves much to the city in school taxes,
the tax payers can we'll afford to con-
tribute a little. It points out also
that the members of the church who
are paying most largely for the new
school help pay the taxes which sup
port the public schools.

OVER $1,000 IS FOUND ON DRUNK
Young Farmland Lies Drunk in Alley With
Wealth on Person.

With deposit slip for ST, 900 issu-
ed by New Ulm bank in his coat
pocket and 100 marks in German mon
ey, equal to $25 in American coin,
in his trousers pocket, Carl Schwad-
erer was picked up by the police in a
drunken stupor Friday evening in the
alley by Steimann's saloon.
He spent the night in the county
jail and Saturday afternoon was ar
raigned before Justice Henningsen and
pleading guilty to being drunk, was
fined SIS with costs amounting to S.. 10,
which he paid.
Schwaderer was one of the sullenest
prisoners ever entertained in jail.
He refused to talk but now and then
in a fit of huency would humble "a few
words in German. He is % years
old and has been over from Germany
for three years and during that time
has been working on different farms
near Fairfax. Part of the money he
had saved from work, the rest had
been sent him from the old country.
Schwaderer had been in New Ulm
before, but on this trip had been here
but one day.

Christmas.

What shall we say of Christmas
this year? Sunday the rising sun
will look upon the day that is
set apart for the anniversary of
the Prince of Peace. A day that is
hallowed by the sweet memories of
good deeds done and loved ones made
happy. Here in New Ulm, the veil
OF sorrow which the hand of das-
tardly assassin has drawn over the
lives of all, has not been lifted and
the spirit of the day will be darkened
by that untitled veil.
But the day is with US, it's memories
and the ties that are renewed by its
reoccurence are the same as ever; let
us fill the cup of happiness full, and
though peace on earth is far removed
and good will to all men has seemed
to get farther from it's realization, let
us try to remember that in the prov
ince of the creator all men are broth
ers, and for the space of one day be
free from the littleness of strife that
the narrowness of man has made so
large and try to drink in the cup of
happiness the draught that is offered
to the lips of all who will present it
to their fellow creatures.
Christmas was made for man, not
man for Christmas. It is the one
great child's holiday, back to whose
joys and disappointment we all look.
Let us try to make this one of the mile
stone in the lives of all our friends.
1t does not take money to do this; a
kind word, a smile Or the greetings
of the season. It is the trifes of life
that go to make up the sum Of our
happiness.

AS a fnancier, Mrs. Chadwick can
give most of the bankers pointers.
She is certainly in the midst Of a re-
markable career in that line.

Recent hold-ups and robberies oc-
curing with dangerous frequency,
many of them in the day time and so
bold as to be almost astounding,
would seem to suggest the advisability
of armed protection by the bank en-
ployes and Office men. There seems
to be no explanation for the terrible
increase in crime so apparent in the
latter months of this year.

The Review had planned to give its
readers a sixteen-page paper dnring
the three weeks proceeding Christmas,
but it has simply been impossible, in
fact it has been almost impossible to
get out the regular issue. Our readers
will understand the reason why. We
have had to refuse Christmas adver-
tising and some that we have taken
has had to be left out because Of inter-
ruptions which have been unexpected
ly forced upon US. No person regrets
the i'll appearance of the paper more
than the publisher, and we assure our
readers that it is no ordinary circum-
stance which has made it so.

In the beginning OF the trouble that
has come from the murder of DIR.
Gebhardt, we asked the people of the
city to suspend judgment and await
the working out of justice. 1t is all
that can be said at this time. If the
people who read the Review realized
in even a small degree how utterly
impossible it has been for Mr.. Brooks
to give his usual attention to the news
paper, to oversee the work of the
office and to be courteous to all the
calls that have been made upon his
time the past weeks, they would spare
criticism. Aside from this the office
has been handicapped by reason of
too little help, SO that all things
considered, at a time when we would
like to give the people all the details
of what is transpiring we have had
! to be satisfied with what we could do.

ness to fight. It was the only way to
keep the samurai class, left without an
occupation, from being an internal me-
mace to the state. 1t is only fair, how
ever to soften this admission by point
ing out that the samurai will soon be
dead, that their sons are going into
peaceable employments, and that the
warlike spirit will therefore rapidly de.
crease. Commerce, which was short
time ago held in contempt, is every
year looked upon as more important by
the japanese, who, whatever their
faults, have an acute sense of fact,
and realize that modern power depends

approval of most Americans, says Col.
liers, The country at large would stand
behind the president and Mr.. Hay in
any reasonable steps which should look
toward preventing Germany, France, or
any other force from depriving Japan
of those fruits of victory which she
seems thus far to seek. Americans will
feel that Japan, IL she is victorious, or
IL peace is arranged after the fall of
Port Arthur, should make an arrange.
ment on the mainland sufficient to pro-
teet her and Keep Russia from becom-
ing entirely dominant in the east.
Those Americans, nevertheless, who are
not misled by the London press and its
control of international news, will not
fail TO admit certain inferiorities and
dangers in the japanese spirit. The
Russians call thIir opponents cold, cal
oulating, crafty, cruel, and charge them
with love Of fighting for its own sake,
"They are skilled, brave, intelligent,
but they do not hate war" Now,
there is something in this charge. Ja-
pan undoubtedly had mixed motives for
this war, as she had for the war with
China 10 years ago. Ever since the at,
tempt was made to destroy the feudal
system, and thus unity Japan by sub
stituting strong eentral government
for the tribal groups, there has been
constant danger of revolt, and there has
been one rebellion Of no slight extent.

To have a conviction and to stand by
it manfully and defend it when neces
sary is a good thing.
OF course, it should be done in a
quiet, et,unpretentious manner when posi-
BILE, and it should always be done with
out the abuse Of those who differ from
us and entertain views that conflict
with ours.
The world loves a fighter.
The world hates a quitter.
A fighter is one who has convictions
and stands by them.
A gutter is one who has no convie.
tions, or, if he has them, has not the
courage to stand by them.
You owe it TO yourself to present to
those about you a fair, square state
ment of that which you believe should
your belief be called in question.
You owe it to others to do so. If
you are right the world should know
it and profit by it. If you are wrong
you should be shown your error that you
may correct it yourself.
1t is a good thing to have convic-
tion.
1t is a good thing to have the eour-
age to defend your conviction, and to
feel that you are right and to have
been able to induce others that they
were wrong. And if others have been
able to conYince you of your error, it is
a manly thing to right about face.
