 Street is Well Illuminated Now.
 The board of finance met last night to hear opinions on the matter of bet ter lighting in the Eighth ward par ticularly in Humphrey street. Lamp Inspector Hopkins, who, after confer ence with Humphrey street residents, agreed to push the claims was present.

Missed the Big Blaze.

DR.. ]. Z. schoch Of this city, was in
Chicago at the time of the Iroquois
theatre fire. He returned from the
Windy City Thursday night. To a
fortunate circumstance DIR. Schoch
owes the fact that he was not in the
building when it was burned. After
lunch Wednesday afternoon estrolled
up Randolph street to the Iroquois,
reaching the big playhouse shortly
after 3 o'clock. He then noticed that
the attr action on the boards was "Mr.
Bluebeard'' and as he had seen the
play in New York did not enter.
Within an hour the stampede occurred
and hundreds lost their lives. DR..
Schoeh saw nothing of the crowds, as
he did not learn of the fire for more
than an hour afterward, and his
curiosity was not great enough to take
him back to the scene of the horror.
1t may be said of the local physician
that he bears acharmed life. Atthetime
of the Johnstown flood he was in the
Pennsylvania city only few days be-
fore the catastrophe occurred and this
time he narrowly escaped incarceration.

gained. OF these lit entered the Con-
gregatiOna1 church, l19 the Methodist,
100 the Baptist, SO the Christian and
the remainder we're scattered through
the various West Pullman churches.
So enthusiastic were the meetings that
on the closing Sabbath Evangelist
Sunday was presented with a free will
Offering of $3.50.
Sept. I, 1908, Rev. Bean resigned this
charge to the great regret of his con-
gregation, which rendered him re-
ception and vote of thanks With the
assurance that he left the church in
the best condition, both financially and
spiritually, OF any time in its history.
He has since been without pastorate
but in coming to New CHM declines a
tempting offer from church in Kan
sas City.

VICTIM OF IROQUOIs FIRE.
James Schneider Fatally Burned
in Theatre DIG
He Passed Away New Years Morn
in Chicago Hospital
Formerly Athletic Instructor For
New UIm Turnverein.

! Among the victims of the Iroquoi is
theatre disaster, the horrible eatas-
trophe which carried death to nearly
800 human beings, is Q former resident
of this city. James Schneider, for
three years athletic instructor for the
New Ulm Turnverein, was so severely
burned and injured that he died in a
Chicago hospital New ears morning.
His wife is among the missing and is
supposed to be one of the unidentified
dead.
/ News of Mr.. Schneider's tragic
death was received here New Years
evening and came in the form of a
4 telegram from A. M. Stork of Chica-
go. That gentleman wired to the
Turnverein that the instructor had
passed away in a hospital but gave no
details as to the extent of his injuries.
Before the telegram was received,
/ however, it was known that Mr..
Schneider had been hurt. His name
was given in the Chicago dispatches
as one of the injured and before he
died he was able to make short state
ment to the papers as to the manner
in which he met his death.
/ He and his wife attended the matinee
performance of ssMr. Bluebeard' last
"wednesday afternoon and occupied
seats in one of the balconies When
the explosion came they were separated
in the panic and Mr.. Schneider was
pushed over the balcony rail, falling
to the lower floor. He was fearfully
injured and also burned badly
No trace of Mrs. Schneider has since
been found and she is doubtless one of
the many corpses in the morgues burn
ed andtrampled beyond all recogni-
ton. Her husband was taken from
the fatal theatre alive but his respite
was only temporary.
The deceased was. 20 years of age
and his home was at Clinton, Mass
He came to New Ulm in 1897 to take
the position of athletic instructor for
the IurnVereln and remained here until
1900. He then went to Chicago to take
a similar position with the Sozialer
Turnverein and last fall went to the
Aurora Turnverein, another Chicago
society, with whom he was connected
| at the time of his death. He was very
popular in New Ulm and the telegram
New Years came as a great shock to
those who had known and admired
| him.
Although Mr.. Schneiderwasm married
after he left here, his wife is acquainted
in New Ulm. She was formerly Miss
Dora Mueller of Mayville, Wis, and
had visited in the city on several
4 occasions. They have no children

Higher Algebra Not Essential.

Before the Minnesota Educational
association last week Prof. w. f.
Kunze, an old New Ulm boy, but who
is now superintendent of the city
schools at Red Wing, read paper on
Higher Algebra in the Schools" In
handling his theme Prof. Kunze held
that the study of higher algebra was
not essential. He said that as active
and intelligent citizenship was the
fundamental aim in education, the
high school curriculum should be
judged by its success in forwarding
that aim. On that basis he desired
the elimination of higher algebra,
which has no practical value to the
majority of pupils, and the substitu-
ton of a review of American history,
or a course in civics, political econo-
my or manual training.

SCHOOL BUILDING ASSURED
Catholic Parish Votes to Erect New
Structure.
Matter Turned Over to Trustees
and Consultors.
Will Rae Old Buildings and pur-
chase Property.

The proposed Catholic parochial
school building is now assured. At
the parish meeting, held after high
mass Sunday, the members of the con-
gregation voted in favor OF the expen-
diture and the matter was given over
to the trustees and consultors. They
will begin upon the task OF soliciting
fund within a very short time and
next fall the school children will have
more commodious quarters
Sundays meeting settled the matter
decisively. When the question OF
building was taken up for debate it
became evident that the congregation
was fully aware of the present congest-
ed condition of the school. They
favored a larger building and when
the vote was taken there were less
than twenty ballots against the propo-
sitioE. This demonstrated the senti-
ment clearly and the minority with
drew its opposition and made the
favoring vote unanimous.
It was the sense of the meeting that
the three trustees of the church and
the consultors, about thirty ia number.
take chargeof the preliminary arrange
ments and they will hold meeting in
very near future. They realize the
necessity of putting up a modern
school building and will base their
plans upon structure entailing an
outlay of S35, 900 or $40, 900.
The total expense, however, promises
to exceed either of these sums, as
there is considerable preparatory
work to be done. Although plans are
vague and indefinite as yet, it is under
stood that the present school building,
Caecilian hall and the former parish
house will all be razed. This is no
small item in itself and there is also
talk of purchasing the Wenzel Sittauer
property at the corner of State and
Fifth North streets, thereby giving the
parish possession of the entire half
| block
! When the building is erected it will
be first-class in all respects. It's po-
sition is to be in the exact center of
the block, facing State street, and
ample space will be left on both sides
for shade trees and Fairgrounds.

Rev. Do. Bean Accepts Call to
New Ulm.
Talented Minister Assumed His
Charge Sunday.
Record as Successful Worker in
Christianity Fields.

Rev. Daniel O. Bean, the talented
minister who was recently rendered a
call by the members of the Congre-
gational church, preached in that
sedifce Sunday, and at that time
announced his acceptance Of the call.
He has entered upon his work as pastor
and will bring his wife to New Ulm in
three weeks or month.
The new pastor is a pleasing speaker
and man of a splendid presence. He
has travelled widely and is acquainted
with life in many of its phases. AS a
Christian worker he has been signally
successful and in all the places he has
labored the congregations have been
benefited.
Rev. Bean secured his early edu-
cation at Livington, Maine, grad ating
from the high school and also from
the New England academy. In 1881 he
entered Dartmouth college and gradu-
ated from that institution four years
later, in the same class with Prof. E..
T. Critchett, uperintendent of the city
schools.
After receiving his diploma Rev.
Bean became principal of a high
school at Haverhill, N. H., and pre-
pared students for Yale, WELLESLEY,
Dartmouth and other eastern uni
versities. Three years were spent at
Havorhill and then he was elected to
the superintendency of the schools at
Lake City, this state, where he remained
fran 1883 until 1891.
Although reelected the last year he
resigned to enter the Chicago Theo-
logical seminary and prepare himself
for the ministry. His first vacation he
preached at Crawford, Neb., and there
scored his first ministerial success,
doubling the size Of the congregation
in one summer. The following summer,
1892, while preaching at. Shadron,
Neb., he suffered from nervous pros
trations and was forced into retire
ment, returning to his New England
home to recuperate.
