last April, will be used to trans
port merchandise between Pacific
ports, connecting Mr.. Hills trans
continental railroad lines with
oriental countries. That Mr.. Hill
is willing to invest $4,000, 900 in a

ment against the necessity of a

The war between Russia and
Japan has finally become areality,
and so far all of the honors seem
to have been won by Japan. The
first battle was fought in the har-
Dor at Port Arthur Tuesday morn
ing, when two first class battle
ships and one armoured cruiser of
the Russian feet were disabled.
Later reports state that three more
cruisers have been captured and
two large transport vessels sunk by
the japanese, and 1000 Russian
soldiers taken prisoners. The
Japanese have also sent large land
forces into Manchuria, and have
blown up a large bridge on the
Russian railroad. So far no loss,
either of Japnnese vessels or of
soldiers, is reported.

The second annual meeting of
the S. D. Improved Live Stock
Breeders association was held in
Mitchell last week. The associa-
tion now has 167 members, and is
rapidly growing. The program as
published two weeks ago was car
ried out. The auction sale of
blooded stock, hogs and poultry
was an important feature of the
meeting, and many breeders avail
ed themselves of the opportunity
to improve the quality OF their
herds by purchasing the stock Of
fered. A total of Al head of Here
fords, Shorthorns and Aberdeen
Angus cattle were sold, bringing
total of $4,O27, or an average of
nearly 500 per head. The swine
also sold at very satisfactory pric-
rs, the highest price being 500

ed, and the offer of the city of
Mitchell to put up a suitable build
ing for future meetings in case the
city was made the permanent
meeting place for five years, was
accepted. Resolutions were adopt
ed expressing regret that the legis-
lature did not provide means for
making a proper representation at
the st. Louis fair of the live stock
interests; expressing appreciation
of the work done for the live stock
interests by the experiment sta
ton at Brookings; urging the leg
islative committee to try to secure
more rigid laws compelling trans
portation companies to more prop
erly care for pure-bred live stock
while in transit; and expressing
displeasure at the refusal of the
various western railroads in refus-
ing to grant return passes to ship
pers of live stock to the great mar
kets.

The City and State, newspaper
published in Philadelphia, protests
with righteous Indignation against
the Burke bill, which proposes to
purchase portion of the Rosebud
reservation from the Indians at
~ SO per acre, claiming that tile
|. land is worth three or four times
that amount. Coming from po-
litical cess pool like Philadelphia,
where graft and political corrup-
ion reigns supreme, this moral
outburst causes one to ask the old
question, "Can any good come out
Df NAZARETH" The reputation of
the city of Philadelphia will hard
" justify people in accepting her
citizens as moral critics.
But is this bill open to the charge
of injustice to the Indians? The
land is not in its present condition
worth the price claimed by the City
and State. Whatever of material
value the land does possess or will
in future possess, will be due to
the improvements made by the
white settlers. Railroads, schools,
churches and towns will be built,
and when this is done it is true the
land will be worth several times
what it is today. But who must
make these improvements 2 Not
one dollar In the way of taxes or
otherwise will the Indians contrib
ute. Yet the portion of the land
that will be given to the Indians in
severalty, will, on account of these
improvements, be worth more to
them than the entire reservation is
today. In q strictly moral sense
is it right or jnst that these white
settlers should. be compelled to
suffer the hardsbips and expense
of developing this country, and
then pay the Indians for the land
all that it is worth after the devel-
opments are made? Now let us
ask our moral Quaker critic how
much per acre was paid to the In
dians for the state of Pennsylya-
MIA, one of the most valuable terri
tories for mineral, oil and timber
products in the country. Does
not the conscience of this moral
critic smite him as he enjoys the
.luxurles Of that fair country and
reflects that it was practically con-
fiscated from the poor Indian2

DR. Merritte Driver, Of Chicago,
who is lecturing through this part
IF the country under the auspices
of a lecture bureau, makes the as
sertion that this country is on the
verge of very hard times which can
not be averted no matter which po-
litical party wins at the next gem
eral election. DIR. Driver is pastor
Of a wealthy church organization
in Chicago and evidently his pes
simistic views are the reflection of
sentiments existing among his
wealthy parishioners. His pre1ic-
tions may be true so far as they re-
late to the money lenders and spec
nlators in the eastern cities. Reck.
less investments have been made.
during the past few years in water
ed stocks and inflated corporations
and for these specnlators heavy
losses are inevitable. But what
evidence is there Of approaching
hard times in agricultural dis
tricts2 The bank examiners re-

CRUSHED BENEATH WHEELS
Engineer Julius Scheiderich Killed
Near Tacoma.
Details Are Lacking, But Both Legs
Are Severed.
Raised Here, Where He Lived
Until Three Years Ago.

Victim of sad railroad accident at
Tacoma, Washington, in which he was
badly crushed and both his legs
severed from the body, Julius G..
Scheiderich, engineer on the Northern
Pacific railroad and for many years a
resident Of New Ulm as boy and man,
is being brought to his old home dead.
The body is expected to arrive this
morning.
In lust what manner Mr.. Scheiderich
met his death is not yet known: whether
he was in a wreck or fell beneath the
wheels of his engine or train. Word
received by his wife at Duluth stated
that her husband had been severely in
iured and had had both his legs cut
off in an accident on the railroad at
Tacoma Thursday evening at 9 O'Clock,
then a message the day following an
n0unced his death in the hospital Fri
day noon. His brother William Schel,
derich was working near Tacoma ano

went at once to take charge of the be

went at once to take charge of the bo-
dy, with his sad burden leaving for
New Ulm Saturday.
Once before Mr.. Scheiderich was in
a railroad accident while running a
switch engine on the Northwestern
road at Tracy. The engine was badly
wrecked and the engineer so severely
injured that he was laid off from
active work for about year. This
fatal accident was his second.
Mr.. Scheiderich was raised in New
Ulm, having been born in this city
thirty years ago, and when he was
20 wears old went to work on the
Northwestern as a bridge carpenter.
After working at that trade for a
couple of years he was given a
| position on a engine as fireman and it
was not long before he was running a
! locomotive of his own.
For many years he drew train on
! the Northwestern between Waseca and
/ Tracy and during that time he and his
/ family lived in New Ulm. Then he
was given the switch engine at Tracy
and it was there that he was SO severely
/ injured. A settlement was effected with
the company and he was offered his
old work on the switch engine, but he
had acquired great distaste for yard
work and refused to take it.
Following the year Of his conva-
lescence he worked for Nagel & Book
laying cement sidewalks for one
summer. and then three years ago this
fall he moved his family to Duluth,
where he had been given an engine on
the Duluth and Brainard division OF
the Northern Pacific. This run did
not seem to be exactly what he wanted
and when he was in New Ulm on a
visit two months ago he said that he
was trying to get transferred to a
western division. He had been west
but a little while, it seems, for his
family is still living in Duluth.
! Mr.. Scheiderich is survived by a
widow and four children, the oldest
being 10 years of age. His mother also
is living in New Ulm, as is his brother
Theodore A sister, Mrs. Bertha
Meyer, lives in Washington, and is
expected with William today. The
widow and the children arrived Satur.
day night. The funeral will be held
at the home of Mrs. Scheiderich, ST..
on Third North street. Mr.. Scheiderict
was a member of the Brotherhood O.

Lights to Be Improved,

Lights along Minnesota street will
be improved considerably by the string
ing of new wires on both sides of the
street, now going on under the direc-
tion of Supt. Adolf Wagner, to re
place the old ones from which the wires
going into the buildings are fed. The
new wires are much heavier than the
present ones, being some of those re
moved from the old poles taken down
last fall. The wires being replaced
are three in number on each side Of
the street and extending from Center
to Third North streets.

Stray stresks Of Rlec,rlcIsy

During the early hours of Saturday
morning this section experienced the
sharpest display Of electricity in our re-
remembrance.
At the Tate tenement house knows as

building were struck and shattered, the
electricity passing into the building,
throwing down stove pipes, scattering
plastering and performing other freaks.
A small blaze was started but promptly
extinquished Fortunately no member
of the four families domiciled therein
was injured.
On the porch at the Park Hotel cleo

Is OF GREAT IMPORTANCE.

The CENSOR hopes that republicans
will not underestimate the importance
of next Saturday s caucuses. August 9th,
which elect delegates TO attend the coun-
tv and assembly conventions, to meet in
Viroqua on the 18th. These will be the
last caucuses and convention Wisconsin
republicans will be called upon to attend
it, as is expected, the Urinary election
law is ratified at the approaching elec.
tion. If for no better reason, it would
seem that every republican can give an
hour of his time on Saturday next, NO
MATTER HOW BUSY WITH HIS FARM
WORK. II you have faith in and de-
sire that the promises of the party, as
declared for in recent years, and for
which Governor LaFollette has earnest
" b4rtled, there should be no hesitancy.
The issues are far more important than
many imagine Let not the opponents
of these principles control because of de-
fault Turn ont, therefore.
