Our Korean population numbers

Korea which embraces the larger part

cities. They contain but one-twen-

FOUND infected CATTLE
Animals With Tuberculosis Condemn
ed in Bcrnad0tte.

DR.. S. II. Ward of St. Paul, secre-
tary of the state sanitary board, came
to New Ulm last week and with DR.. j.
P. Graft of this city, examined herd
of cattle in the township of Bernadotte,
Nicollet county. The animals belong
ed to Julius Johnson and twenty-five
of them we're tested, with the result
that ten were condemned as suffering
with tuberculosis.
It is believed that other herds in
that vicinity are infected and DR..
W ard will return in a few days to
continue the tests. When he has a
carload of condemned cattle they will
be shipped to St. Paul and killed
under the direction of the board. Their
owners will be allowed three-fourth of
the actual value of the stock and this
amount paid out of the state treasury.
Farmers in Bernadotte have an
nounced their intention Of having all
of their cattle thoroughly examined,
in order that the disease may be head
ed off before it spreads too greatly.
They will weed out all cattle showing
tubercular conditions and replace
them with high-grade stock.

DOCTOR DANIELS CALLED
Pioneer Physician Passes Away In
California.

st. Peter relatives received word last
week of the death of DR.. J. W. Daniels,
which occurred Tuesday in Los Ange-
les, CAL, after an illness of five days
with pneumonia. The deceased was
II years of age and located in Mime
sofa in the very early days. He was
one of the surgeons who came to New
Ulm with Col. Flandrau's relief column
during the outbreak and assisted the
overburdened DR.. Weschcke in caring
for the wounded after the first attack
on New Ulm.
DR.. Daniels was born at Stratford,
N. H., in 1927. He took up the study
of medicine and in 1854 located at
Faribault where he engaged in prac-
tice. During the Indian troubles he
was surgeon of the Second Minnesota
and served in that capacity for two
years. From 1870 to 1880 he was in
the interior department in the position
ofinspector of agencies and also served
on a number of Indian commissions.
In 1880 he retired from active practice,
and remained in Fairbault, until his
departure for Los Angeles, Cal, three
years ago.
The remains were shipped to ST.
Peter Monday and the burial was made
in the family lot at Woodlawn GENE
terry. ..-.
He leaves wife, one son at Placer
vile, CAL, and a daughter, Mrs. Hill,
of Faribault.
DR.. Daniels was we'll known to the
older citizens of Southern Minnesota,
having practiced his profession in ST.
Peter for several years. His death re.
moves one of the pioneers of this sec.
ton to whom we owe much. His pro.
fession gave him an opportunity tc
lessen the sufferings Of his neighbors
and he never failed in this duty. Kind
hearted and generous, always ready
to help those who merited assistance
he leaves many to mourn his death.

TOTS LIFE CRUSHED OUT
Street Car Instantly Kills Little Ade-
laide Henle.

Details of shocking accident which
resulted in the instant death of little
Adelaide Henle of st. Paul, were re-
ceived by New Ulm relatives last We'd
nesday. In it's issue of that day the
St. Paul Globe published the follow
ing:
Adelaide Henle, a three-year-old
daughter of Joseph Henle, a harness,
maker, had her life crushed out by a
Fort Smelling car on West Seventh
street, near Audubon street, at an
early hour last evening.
The child, with several other chill
dren, was playing tag on the sidewalk,
when Adelaide, with the excitement Of
the game, ran into the street. The car
was going west at high rate of speed.
The mOtorman, Joseph Lather, MOTTO
ing the children playing on the street,
tried to check the car, but it had too
much Roadway.
The passengers were transfixed with
horror as they saw the child run to-
wards the car. In an instant her life
was crushed out by the rear wheels.
The little girl ran against the car
between the forward trucks and the
rear wheels, which passed over her
chest. She was killed instantly. Two
of the passengers got out of the car
and carried the child to the sidewalk.
Joseph Henle, father Of the little
child who met her death in this dread
full manner, is a son of Mrs. Elizabeth
Henle of this city. He formerly resid-
ed in Fairfax and the remains of the
unfortunate baby were taken to that
place and the funeral held from the
Catholic church Friday morning. Il
was attended by Mrs. Elizabeth Henle
John Henle and Ath. Henle Of this
city, and Anton Henle of Milford.
The sympathy of many New Uln
friends will 60 out to Mr. and Mrs
Joseph Henle in their great bereave

MAYOR YETOES A VOUCHER
Holds up Bill Rendered by Alder
man Nagel.
Account is For Cement and Team.
ing on Streets.
Clerk Bobleter Likewise Refuses
to Sign Warrant.

According to bill rendered by AL
derman 81. Nagel the city is indebted
to him to the extent of Sl4. Is but he is
now up against the problem of collect
ing the money. At the last meeting of
the council the liability was admitted
by that body and the account APP
proved, but Mayor Charles Silverson
had still to be taken into considera-
ton. That official on Thursday re-
fused to sign the voucher and City
Clerk Ed. J. Bobleter is likewise dis
inclined to attach his signature to a
warrant drawn in favor of the member
from the first. By furnishing three
bags of cement and doing teaming on
the streets Alderman Nagel became a
creditor Of the municipality. The en-
tire bill amounts to only Sl4.25 but it
is verify likely that Mr.. Nagel will
have it due him for some time. The
cement was furnished to Street Com
missioner Chas. Klotz and when the
item appeared in his monthly report
at the council meeting last week Mayor
Silverson noticed it instantly. He stat
edfatly that he would not sign the war;
rant but Alderman Nagel only smiled
slightly and paid but little attention
to the incident. On Thursday, how
ever, the chief executive made good
his word and for the first time exer-
cised his power to veto.
When seen by a Review reporter
later, Mayor Silverson was not at all
backward about expressing himself on
the subject and his remarks were by
no means equivocal. Said he: "Upon
two occasions, publicly, and several
times in private, I warned Mr.. Nagel
that [ would not sign vouchers sub
mitted by him for material sold to the
city. meant exactly what I said and
[ trust that my action will impress the
fact upon him. [ may say, however,
that personal feeling does not enter
into this matter in any shape or man.
ner. My understanding Of the charter
is that it prohibits any city officer
from selling goods to the city and
while am mayor that provision will
be enforced.'
In taking this positive stand Mayor
Silverson has done no more than was
expected of him by the people who
gave him a practically unanimous
election, and it would seem that the
only remedy open to Alderman Mage
is to carry out his contemplated sale
| of his business to his son.

MOOSE FATAL FOR FARMER
Joseph Hetzel Commits Suicide by
Hanging.
While Despondent Sunday He
Took His Own Life.
Anxious Wife Was One to Make
Horrifying Discovery.

Discouraged and respondent, life
had no further attractions for Joseph
Hetzel of Milford township, and he
committed suicide Sunday morning.
He hanged himself to a rafter in his
barn and was quite dead when cut
down. His wide made the horrifying
discovery of his dangling form and it
was she who summoned help from the
neighbours.
The awful deed was committed in a
barn on the Joseph Pfeiffer place,
which Hetzel rented, and was probably
caused by worry over the rumor that
he would have to leave the farm.
Hetzel had heard that the land was to
be sold and several times had ex-
pressed a reluctance to seek new To-
cation. To a young man who works
, about the place he remarked that life
contained only misery and trouble,
and he seemed melancholy and mOrOse.
He was last seen alive about s

coming to New Ulm. She went about
her preparations for driving to the
city but when she had finished her
husband had not appeared with the
team, and after waiting for some time
she became anxious and went to the
stable to ascertain the cause of the
delay.
| AS she entered the driveway the ex-
PLANTATION was only too apparent, for
she was confronted with a gruesome
spectacle-that Of her husbands body
dangling from the roof. He had taken
stout rope used to picket cattle and
after wrapping it about girder six or
eight times had fastened moose in the
free end about his neck. Then. it
seemed, he had mounted to the seat OF
a buggy which stood near and sprung
his own death-trap by leaping to the
| floor.
Death was not due to strangulatiOr
but to the breaking of his neck. His
fatal leap killed him instantly an6
after his death his body did not clean
the floor, the feet trailing upon the
| boards.
When Mrs. Hetzel arrived at 6
realization of the terrible affair she
hastily summoned neighbors and they
in turn notified Coroner L. A. Frit
sche. That official viewed the remains
but decided that an inquest was no
necessary.
Hetzel was born in Rubicon, Wis.
and was about 43 years Of age. HI
