BAYLEY DOESNOT FAVOR DEPUTIE,
May Try to Look After New UInl, Sleepy Eye
and Springfield Himself.

DR.. E. W. Bayley of Sleepy Eye,
the coroner-elect of Brown county,
has given it out as partially settled
that he will depart from the customary
system of having deputies in all the
towns and cities, and while having a
deputy in Hanska and in Comfrey,

ing the old company out of business,
and nearly all the business men of
Springfield took stock in the new con-
cern and naturally threw out the old
phones. This latest move will be made
to force the merchants to see the other
side of the question.
New Ulm review., 1904-12-14

will look after the business in New
Ulm, Sleepy Eye and Springfield
himself
This is a thing that no coroner in
recent years has attempted, simply be-
cause it entailed too much work and
cost too much time, and it has been
usual to have an assistant in each OF
the villages and cities outside his own.
DR.. Bayley's home is in Sleepy Eye
and he realizes that the bulk of the
business in the county is in the county
seat.
''If [ did not look after the New Ulm
end of the business myself" he said,
"there would be nothing in the Office
for me at all, and I think that | will
try to run things that way, taking
care of the three largest cities in the
county myself. Of course, if find tn at
it is taking too much Of my time / can
appoint a deputy at any time.''
DR.. Bayley was in the city Thursday
looking after some professional busi-
ness and visited little while with his
many New Ulm friends.
Adj. Gen. F. D. Libbey is to be a
candidate for the republican nomina-
tion for governor two years hence.
Mr.. Libbey does not deny it but says:
ssNnc T houa roooix,od scopoa o,ao,,n
agement and many promises Of sup
port. OF course it is very early yet
and [ did not intend to say anything
until next spring, but as matters now
stand shall be a candidate The
adjutant general paid a visit to New
Ulm last fall when the United States
battalion was here and has made
many friends in this city.

In this line we excel all others, be-
ing of substantial make, we can with
pride say that it is the best line ever
shown. Among them are the Iron toys
of every description that any parent
will be able to pick something for his
children. The same holds true with
all wooden and tin toys. To convince
you, you must see them.

YOUTH AND AGE.
The Thoughts That Filled the Maiden

rhe Thoughts That Filled the Maiden
and the Old Lady.
1t was Q O'Clock in the evening, the
night of the great dance in the assem-
bly, room.
She was almost ready y few final
touches, q little readjustment before
the mirror, and then, beautiful and
stately, she stepped out into the hall
and slowly descended the stairs.
She was very young, but her calm,
serious face, her ease and perfect poise
and other certain little gestures Of
surety in herself indicated that she
was not new ct the business of the
evening Somehow there was touch
of sadness to her face.
AS she passed down the stairs She
paused in front of the library, with her
party wrap over her arm. In the IL
brary, her face half shaded from the
evening lamp. sat an old woman. Her
silver hair was smoothed back from 4
forehead that time had not spared
from wrinkles.
She looked Up from the book she was
reading with bright smile.

Eyes, grandma. It's another dance
had to go. But it's so tfresone."
She sat down YEARLY and gaZed for
a moment absently into the Pickering
fire on the hearth. There was a brief
silence; then the old woman spoke:
"My dear, you do not seem yourself
tonight. OF what are you thinkng?"
Her granddaughter looked up.
''Of the past she said. with sigh
And then she said as she rose and
gathered up, her wraps:

cheerful tonight. Of what. pray. are

And the old woman replied. MY

The first really efficient lucife rma tchs
must be put to the credit Of afrg j Ohm
walker Of Stock tOn- cont ees, who u IN
the year 1927 placed them On the mar.
ct under the name of .Congreves, in
compliment to Sir William Congreve,
the inventor Of the war rocket. These
matches were sold for a shilling box,
which contained, besides few dozen
of the matches, little piece Of folded
sandpaper, through which each splint
Of wood had to be drawn before 1t
could be made to infame- An original
tin box, stamped with the royal arms
and bearing the word sCongreve.' is
preserved as q curiosity in one OF the
London museums.
As in the case of all other industries,
this one was initiated by hand labor
alone The splints Of wood, We're no
doubt originally dipped in the ignitnS
composition one by one, but subse-
duently they were tied up in bundles
and dipped en- bloc, the workman Civ
ing each bundle twist with his hands
so that the end of each splint would
be free to move to certain extent
ana absorb Il little more of the COM
pound than it would if kept quite still.
The next advance was to fix the splints
in q frame 50 that each was separa ted
from its neichbor, and this frame con-
tanning about 1000 matches. would be
brought down on q marble SLAB upon
which the composition was spread.
The tipped matches. still in their
frame would then be dried in air for
n few hours and afterward placed In
q heated chamber to complete their
dcsiccation Manual labor is now al
most wholly dispensed with in the
manufacture of matches The employ
ment Of yellow phosphorus for the
charging of matches made the indus
try Il very unhealthy one, and the
worlpeop1e. if not in the best of
health ran the risk Of contracting a
terrible disease known rs necrosis Of
the iawbone the vulgar name for
which was 'phossy jaw" With i'm
provements in manufacture this evil
has now been eliminated.-Chamber

Editors West Virginian:
1t is the opinion of the leading me-
teoro}ogists OF the world that the pub
lie interests are injured by the publi-
cation of so-called Long-Range Wealth
err Forecasts. especially such as re-
late to severe storms, floods, thoughts,
and other atmospheric phenomena Of
a dangerous or damaging character.
These men may be honest, and may, in
their ignorance, attach undue impor-
lance to storms that may, accidental
w. coin eide in time of occurrence with
certain relative positions Of the moon,
or with periods of increase or decrease
in sunspots. or apparent variations in
solar intensity.
They may believe that they have
discovered a physical law or a mete-
orlogical principle that has not been
revealed to astronomers, meteorolo-
gists, or any other class of scientific in
vestigators. but the publication OF
these predictions is calculated to be
positively injurious to agricultural,
commercial, and other industrial IN
terests. and to bring into disrepute a
fundan1 entail knowledge of the causa-
ton of weather.
All look forward to the time when
it will be possible to forecast the
weather for coming SeaSons-to Spec1-
fy in what respect the coming month

from the weather that is common to

WILLIAM A. LUDECUS DEAD
FROM SELF INFLICTED WOUND

after the destructive fire at Toronto
the tears came into his eyes as he
spoke of the partial destruction of the
beautiful city he admired so much.
II was Mr.. Ludecus's intention to
start in fw days for Canada In
these conversations he displayed a
keen anticipation of pleasure from his
approaching vacation trip to Canada.
He was only waiting for a special pas
senger ticket 70 Canada via St Louis.
At times he was a geat physical SUI
ferer and occasionally resorted to the
use of morphine to alleviate the pain.
1t is believed that while under the in
fluence of an overdorse of this drug
HIS mind became unbalanced and In
that state he took his own life.
Mr.. Ludecus was a man of warm and
cordial nature. He was one of the
best known citizens of Montgomery and
he had the friendship and esteem OF
all who knew him. His circle of per-
sonal friends was wide and strong and
1t embraced every class Of Montgom-
ery's people.
He was especially fond of children
lection and loyal friendship. In all
parts of the city there were children
who sought his society and compan-
ionship. There are many children who
will remember with pleasure the hours
he spent in their entertainment and
who will feel genuine sorrow at this
death.
Mr.. Ludecus leaves surviving him
three sisters. Mrs. Frank Duncan, Mrs
NJ c. Scott of Montgomery and Mrs.
@. l.. werth. of st. Louis.
The funeral services were held yes
terday afternoon at o'clock from the
rasideuce of Mr. M O. Scott ON Enut1,
Perry Street. The services were con-
