Rural Carriers May Receive Subscrip-
tions to Papers.
WASHINGTON After two days
consideration of the postofiice appro.
priation bill the senate committee
reported it tonight and It will be
taken up in the senate tomorrow. On
account of its incomplete state the
exact amount of the increase made
cannot be given, though it is said
the bill will carry not more than
$1,000,000 over the bill as passed by
the house, except for an emergency
measure incorporated in the bill.
The house bill provides for the rent
al of the Pennsylvania railroad site
in New York for postofice purposes,
but the senate committee decided that
it would be better business policy to
buy the site. Therefore an appropria-
ton of 100000 is made for that pur-
pose.
Among the amendments to the bill
is the following Salaries of rural
free delivery carriers are fixed at
1920 a year, and the carriers are per-
mitted to carry merchandise for hire
and receive subscriptions for and de.
liver newspapers and periodicals, so
long as this occupation does not inter.
fere with the proper discharge of their
duties. 1t is stipulated, however, that
the carriers shall not discriminate
against any newspaper.

High School Boys Defeated.

Saturday afternoon the high school
team went to Gaylord and was beaten
by the city team there by a score of 10
to 5. When the locals arranged the
game they understood it was with the
Gaylord high school but when they
reached the diamond they learned that
the Gaylord school does not have a
team md that they were pitted against
the nine players who are to represent
Gaylord in the Sibley county league.
Rather than forfeit the locals tackled
the odds and really made remark
able showing. Bingham pitched five
and Burmeister three innings for New
Ulm and they succeeded in striking
out eleven of the hard-hitting GAYLORD
men, but sixteen of the students fell
before the curves of the home man,
Paul. The score was:

AID ATTRACTS ATTENTION
Grocery Trade Journal Puffs George
Hauenstein,

In it's current issue the Commercial
Bulletin and Northwest Trade, a
Minneapolis publication that caters to
the grocery trade, pays a neat compli-
ment to George Hauenstein, proprietor
of the Red Front Grocery, on the ad-
vertisement which he is now running
in the Review. The trade journal says:
In the many advertisements appear
ing inweekly newspapers, good grocery
advertisements are few. For that rea-
son the ad of George Hauenstein of
New Ulm, deserves attention.
This is a small space but it is put to
good use. Mr.. Hauenstein has written
a good ad and the printer has done
good work. The ads in the New Ulm
Review are always good. They show
taste and care.
The general appearance is neat.
The prices are we'll displayed, and the
proportion is good. Red Ribbon
Mocha and Java would have hit the
eye better if put in blacker type. The
prices soc to 35c' should also be in
blacker type.
On the whole, however, this is a good
grocery ad. To make it pay we'll, the
space should be used every issue of
the paper and changed with each issue.

Wifi Sow BuckWheat.

There has been a big demand this
spring for the buckwheat seed kept in
stock by the New Ulm Feed & Cereal
mill and it is evident that more of the
grain will be raised by farmers in this
vicinity than ever before. Since the
mill was started two years ago there
has been noticeable increase in the
production of the cereals it uses and
it will not be long before the mill will
be able to grind steadily upon rye,
buckwheat, etc., grown about here. If
there are any farmers who have not
taken steps along this line it would be
well for them to obtain some of the
buckwheat seed and SOW it this spring.
The Review predicts that they will find
the experiment paying one.

President ROOSevelt'S Position.

McClure's Magazine for May prints
a most interesting excerpt from a
letter written by President Roosevelt
to Ray Stannard Baker, commenting
on his discussion of "Great Labor
Confiicts,' in that magazine, in which
the President defines his attitude
toward capital and labor as follows:
II believe in corporations. I be-
lieve in trade unions. Both have come
to stay and are necessities in our
present industrial system. But where
in either one or the other there de-
velops corruption or mere brutal in
difference to the rights of others, and
short-sighted refusal to look beyond
the moments gain, then the offender,
whether union or corporation, must be
fought, and if the public sentiment is
calloused to the iniquity of either, by
just so much the whole public is
damaged.''

priated for the purpose. Mr.. Nc
Cleary's object in presenting the meas
ure at this time was to insure it hav-
ing good place when the question of

considered by the house next winter.

FAVOR BOND REDEMPTION
District Voters Sanction Action of
School Board.
Will Take up $4,000 of Bonds
and Refund Same Amount.
Latter Sum Will be BorroWed From
the State School Fund.

Only nineteen voters attended the
special school district meeting last
Wednesday evening. The meeting was
called for the purpose of voting upon
the proposition to borrow SIC, 900 from
the state with which to refund half of
theS20, 900 bond issue of 1884, Richard
Pfeferle, president of the board, was
in the chair.
A. F. REIN, the clerk, read the call
for the meeting and then explained to
those present that the $4,000 bonds
would fall due next October. If press
ed the board could at that time take up
$14 600 Or SIS, 900 but it's members did
not feel that the treasury should be
completely emptied. Some contin-
gency might arise for the use of what
ever funds they had on hand and for
that reason they were in favor of pay
ing off only $4,000 of the bonds and
refunding the balance.
Itwould be possible to borrowS1O, 900
at per cent and the district would
lose nothing on the transaction, as it's
surplus funds could be deposited in
the local banks at the same rate of
interest. He stated that it would not
be necessary to borrow for a longer
period than five years, as the district
could clear it up in that time without
being forced to increase the school tax
rate. The money, he said, would be
secured from the state university fund
through a board consisting of the
governor, state treasurer and state
auditor, and the provisions which they
would insist upon would be that the
loan would not be made for a shorter
Time that five years nor at lower rate
than per cent.
Prof. E. T. Critchett informed the
voters that the district would really
get some returns by borrowing from
the state school fund, as all the &C
crued interest from this fund is ap-
portioned among the school children
of the state. Secretary Rein then
offered the following resolutions:
Resolved, That District No. l in the
County of Brown, State of Minnesota,
hereby makes application to the state
for the loan of ten thousand (S1O,OOO)
dollars to be used in paying for the
erection of a school house in said
district, and that the bonds of the said
district, bearing interest at the rate of
four per cent per annum, for the sum
of $4,000 be issued therefor, payable
as follows: One bond of $40, 900, pay
able July lst, 1909.
Pres. Pfetferle appointed B. Juni
and O.. J. Duane as tellers and the
count Of the vote revealed nineteen
ballots in favor of the bond issue and
none against.
Prof. Rein remarked that the state
might not be in a position to loan
$40, 900 at this time and it would be
advisable to authorize the board to
make the loan elsewhere if this was
The case. A motion covering the point
was put before the house and carried
