intensely loyal city and the people
believe in standing by its home
industries, even if they have to un-
button their vests to do it; however,
we don't believe, in proportion to the
population, there is any more beer
consumed here than in many of the
other towns of the state. Remarks
like the above seem to be standing
Jokes with outsiders and have a
perennial recurrence that strikes some
people as being funny. To kept out

be masters of their physical as we'll as
mental natures, that is the acme ofright
living, being honest first with your
selves and then with your neighbors.
If there is town in the state where
this comes nearer being done than
here we have yet to see it. If New Ulm
beer does this then it were we'll if more

Fly Nearly Causes a Tragedy.

Wednesday afternoon Geo. McCor-

very sudden halt. While Mr.. Nc
Cormack was enjoying his peaceful
snooze an Industrious fly was doing
some active biting on the sleeper's face
from that on which the barber was
working. Suddenly Mr.. cCormack's

catching the blade of the razor and
cutting all four fingers to the bone.
It is said that Mr.. Mccormack favors
the talkatiye barber during fly time at
least.-St. James Gazette.

written by New Ulm resident travel

not essential to their publication, and
for the reason that they are of most in

will be welcomed by readers of this

Every farmer, fruit raiser or gardner
should arrange to take something to
the fair this fall and whatever it is let
it be the best he can produce. 1t is to
the detriment of the agricultural peo-
pie that they take SO little interest in
the county fairs. The benefit is theirs,
if anyone is benefited. This is going
to be good year for exhibits and the
Brown County fair should be the best
this fall that it has ever been. Let us
all pull together and revive an institu-
ton that for SO many years was the
centre of interest to so many people in
the county.

Child Hurt Internally.

Willie, the 5-year-old son of Louis
Scheurich, superintendent of the Brown
county poor farm, was quite seriously
hurt Thursday evening. While riding
on a wagon he slipped from the seat
and fell directly in front of the vehicle.
The wheels passed over his abdomen
and caused injuries of a more or less
serious nature. He was brought to
the city suffering intense pain but this
has since disappeared in a great meas
ure and a complete recovery is now
looked for.

Illinois has been so much in the pub
lie eye politically recently, by reason
of the fierce factional controversies in

McClure's will be received with gener-
al interest. This will be the second

It is only when labor unions have
money in the treasury and there is
prospect of work in other lines for
men, that strikes occur. This may be
an Indication of good times or a
harbinger of poorer ones. At any
rate it shows that for the present the
thousands of men out on strikes OF
different orders are fed, pay rent and
live and know where the, money to
meet the deficit was to come from. The
money that is lost in strikes is never
recorded by any settlement that is
made and the only sure way for
organized labor to recover on it's
demands is by arbitration. The dog
that bites the hand that feeds it is
hardly considered safe after the first
bite.
A carful reader of the platforms of
all the parties, seeking recognition at
the hands of the people this fall, will
find in them no particular reference to
agriculture. Money, tariff, labor
troubles, the Philippines, the Panama
canal, all these find their interests
voiced in the platforms, but the crea-
tors of wealth, bulk of the population
of the country, the feeders of the world
arenot noticed. The farmers can make
or unmake any party if they see fit to
be unit, but the time has never been
when they were unit and the fact
that they are not better recognized by
the platforms of the various parties is
because they are not politicians and
care too little about manipulating
politics for their own benefit.

OVERHEARD AT SEA.

1t was q bit of careless ness on my
part that launched me. into the Indian
ocean one night fifteen hundred miles
from the nearest land. There was a
Squan raging at the time, and though
I got hold of a float flung at me, the
brig could do nothing towards a rescue
For the first three hours my hopes and
fears made me alert. but after that 1
felt a dull languor and was only half
conscious of what was going on
An hour after midnight Twas aroused
from what seemed to be a troubled
dream. I was humping against some
thing hard, and my first idea was that
[ had been cast ashore. 1t took me
gether and make out that I was along
side the hull of vessel. I had scarce
ly more to do than to lift up my hands
and seize the low rail and draw myself
aboard. 1 had found a derelict bark.
Her masts were gone close to the deck,
much of her bulwarks swept away, and
I knew by the feel of her that she was
Water-lOgged. I took one glance over
her and then dumped myself down on
deck and was asleep in five seconds.
When I again opened my eyes the sun
was three hours high.
I was surely aboard of a derelict,
and it did not take me long to master
the details of the wreck. In the first
place, she was loaded with Australian
redwood and could not sink beyond a
$500
floating about for months and months
There was some wreckage on her decks
but masts and yards and booms had
gone clear of her as they fell. She
had settled down until her scupper-
holes were only a few inches above
water, but owing to the buoyant cargo
she could not sink deeper. AS sailor
I made her out to be a French craft,
and later on I discovered that she
hailed from Brest.
I was sorely in need of food and
drink, and after a few minutes work
broke open the cabin doors. which
had become swelled and damned, and
got into the pantry. There was wine
in plenty, as might have. been expect
ed, and l soon came across meat and
biscuit in tins and boxes.
When my meal had been finished I
began overha uling the main cabin. All
the charts and nautical instruments
were there, nor had any of the spare
clothing of the officers been taken away.
I found the logbook, and though [ could
not read French I made out the lati-
tude and longitude last recorded. AS
near as L could place her, the bark was
then midway between Australia and the
Cape, and she had been adrift for seven
teen months. She had headed to every
point of the compass, but must have
drifted at least 1000 miles to reach the
spot where found her.

SAVES RICH NEW YORKER.
Woman Rsscues E. G. Taylor After
Half an Hour in Icy River.

York, Pa. Jan. 25.-Edward G. Tay-
lor, a member of the Union League,
who is visiting H. L. Carter, president
of the York Haven Water and Tower
company in York Haven, broke through
the ice while skating on the Susque-
hanna river. above Conewago Falls, to-
day. Mr.. Taylor battled in the water
for half an hour before he was seen.
Then Miss Amy Matthias, enc of the
brave women who attempted the rescue
of George Blessing, a tobacco nerch-
ant, who was drowned last November
by being swept over the falls in boat,
organized a rescue party from among
her neighbors, and with their aid she
saved Mr.. Taylor after a perilous crawl
across the weak ice to his aid.
Mr.. Taylor is now in Mr. Carter's
home in a critical condition from the
effects of his exposure. In his efforts
he tore his clothing to shreds and he
was badly cut and bruised by the ice.
1t was Il noon when he was rescued.
1t was found that his watch had
stopped at 11:30 o'clock, showing that
he had been in the water half an hour.

COLD CHASE WITH 500.
Mrs. C. D. Gibson's Sisters Waited
Long for Purchases in Charlottesville.

Richmond, Va, Jan. 25.-Because
hundred dollar bills but seldom stray
into the town Of Charlottesville the sis
ters of Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson were
subjected to a most annoying exper-
fence there today.
Mrs. Reginald BrookeS, accompanied
by her husband and Mrs Mamie Lang
horne Shaw. went from "Mirador," the
handsome Langhorne home, to Char
lotteville to do some shopping. There
was no trouble about getting the ar
ticles needed, but when the time ar
rived to pay for them the trouble
arose. Mr.. Brookes had an abundance
of money about him, indeed he had too
much, as the sequel showed. He pro-
duced a great roll, whereof the smallest
bill was hundred. The merchant was
temporarily put hors du combat by the
sight of it. When ne recovered he ex-
planned that he could not change it to
save his life.
Then, while Mrs. Brookes and Mrs.
Shaw waited Mr.. Brookes started out
on a chase which proved a long one,
for all the banks were closed on ac-
count of Lees birthday. He Travelled
with that bill from one end of the town
to the other and finally, when almost
frozen, succeeded in discovering a man
with funds sufficient to take it off his
hands.

0 more. The plumber was in two tin

900 more. The plumber was in two tin
boxes, but whether it belonged to the
captain, the ship or to other people, l
found nothing to signify. It was a
grand fortune to a poor sailor, and re-
member that acted very foolishly over
again, and when 1 at last realized that
L was rich I rushed on deck with wild
hope of seeing sail close at hand But
for the money 1 believe that the long
days and dreary nights which followed
would have driven me insane. There
was plenty to eat and drink, no danger
of the wreck going down, and the
weather was fine for five days out Of
seven, but I felt my isolation more
IoeenIy than I can describe. I was out
of the track of ships. moving with wind,
wave or current. and the same empty
horizon greeted my view day after day
and week after week.
While 1 became IistIess and dis
couraged and almost lost hope. 1 still
kept a record of the days as they
passed. According to my record I had
been on the wreck forty nine days when
L sighted my first sail. Very likely
ships had. passed and repassed without
my seeing them. as 1 could set no sig
nal by day and always slept straight
through the night. This sail was dis
covered early one morning coming up
from the south, and her course was
such that she must pass close by. When
noted this I put the plumber into bags
and the bags into clothing, and after
that had nothing to do but eat a haSty
breakfast and wait
The breeze was very scant, and it
was above three hours after being
sighted that the strange sail drew near.
She proved to be an English merchant
man bound for India. but having been
blown far off her course by a gale
which 1 had not felt at all.
She was within half a mile of me,
and had set a signal to gladden. my
heart, when a big whale suddenly
broke water close to the wreck. Half
a minute later he was followed by a
second, which attacked him with great
fury. The monsters put up terrific
and kicking up a sea like a gale of
wind They at first drew away from
me. but after few minutes made a
circle which brought them back again.
What had feared from the first came
to pass after quarter of an hour. Half
self over matched and desirious of getting
away, one of the whales suddenly whirled
about and came for the wreck head-on.
He was fully 50 feet long and he came
like moving mountain. 1 made sure of
my hold when saw him coming, but ne
struck the wreck on his port side with
such force that / was thrown across the
deck and into the sea beyond. 1 heard
tossed about by the waves-rubbed
against the whale as he sounded, and
reached the surface to find the wreck
a hull no longer. It was simply a heap
of floating debris. The strange ship drew
nearer. lowered a boat, and I was picked
up as I chung to plank. The money was
gone, and all else but the timbers which
COMPRISED the cargo had gone with it.
My adventure, surprising as it had be
gun. had ended in a way to satisfy the
most imaginative novelist.-M. Quad.
