does not expect his help to work with
out pay, nor will he limit to economy,
and there is such a thing as false
economy. IF we must argue, let us get:
at the base of the argument and build
In other words, let us con-
slider the County Commissioners as
experts in the employ OF their respective
communities. They have given duties
to perform and in some instances they
are supposed to perform them in an
unreasonable short time.
ssNo man of cool Judgment would
engage the services of an attorney and
expect him to crowd his work in few
days and then under pay him. He
could not jeopardize his own interests
to that extent.
And yet, with these plain facts
staring us in the face, We-as citizens
of one of the foremost states, actually
expect County Commissioners, to work
for next to nothing. We look Tor their
effort on mediocre salaries. We hold
the club of duty over them and forget
to reward them for their pains. Tt is
unbusinesslike and I am sure that
you will use your influence in having
the next State Legislature fix fair
compens alton and allow these COM
missioners ample time in which to
perform their duties. I am sure that,
properly encouraged, they will save
the state-through their counties
more money than could be saved in
any other manner. It is business
proposition ard Minnesota should
discharge it honorably. There will be
many other important measures but
this must not be lost sight of.
ST trust that you: as a Board of
County Commissioners, will lend your
moral aid to this measure to the extent
of petitioning the members of the next
Minnesota Legislature to pass the
necessary bill relative to this end. I
hope that,you will not feel that modesty
dictates apathy. It is to build for the
future that we must use our influence
in this direction. You must realize
that the Commissioners has many poor
and charity matters to look after and
that if he is duly compensated for his
time and efforts, he will have the
incentive to do better and more lasting
work for the commonwealth by better
ing conditions in his respective county"

Ivanhoe Will Fight.

George Graft and A.. K. Staining,
both of the Ivanhoe, the latter editor
of the Ivanhoe Times, were in the city
Saturday and Sunday. To Review
reporter they stated that Ivanhoe will
make a strong fight to again wrest the
county seat Of Lincoln county from
Lake Benton. Saturday meeting of
the Lincoln county commissioners was
held and their town presented petition
asking the board to fix a date for a
county seat election. Lake Benton
parties were on the ground with an in
junction restraining the commissioners
from calling an election and Ivanhoe
will appeal to the supreme court. They
hold that as the last election was called
illegal, there was no election, and for
that reason they will not have to wait
the usual five years but may ask for
another under the original petition.

SHOULD HAVE MORE MONEY
County Commissioners Say They
Are Underpaid.
Andrew j. Eckstein Sends Out
Circular Letter.
Asks For Cooperation in Securing
legislation

County commissioners of Minnesota
believe that the salaries at present
allowed them by aaw are not adequate,
and they are taking steps to Sc
cure Legislation that will more justly
.ecompense them for their services.
At the last annual meeting of the
State Association OF County Commits
sioners the salary question was gone
into at some length and it was voted
to appoint a committee to petition the
next legislature for relief.
In naming a chairman for that COM
mittee the president of the association
selected Andrew j. Eckstein of this
county, and last week the New Ulm
man sent out circular letter to the
county boards of all the counties in
Minnesota asking their cooperation
in bringing the matter to a successful
ISSUE Mr. Eckstein's letter explains
itself, and is as follows:
To the chairmen and County Com
missioners of the various counties in
the state of MinnesO ta:-
Gin the following paragraphs have
= a few facts to offer for your consider
alton which, I trust, will receive your
prompt and careful attention:
''Ideally speaking labor is its own
reward; in practice compensation is
necessary. [ believe that the human
family has evolved to that stage where
in most men know that one cannot do
something for nothing and live. 1t is
contrary to the laws of nature and
opposed to common sense to expect
any kind Of business to go On without
remuneration.
"COunty commissioners are as i'm
portant in their way as United States
senators. Their scope is more limited
and their charges less important. But
what they do vitality concerns those
who live in their communities, and the
welfare of the public is the chief end of
legislation. All that our own law
makers can do in session in St. Paul,
is to enact laws that will better the
condition of their colleagues. These
colleagues in turn, constitute the
people-the governing and 1.-THE governed
in American politics.
II maintain, therefore, that it is
logical, reasonable and clear that the
County Commissioners should be paid
for what they do. An employer who
has the welfare of his business at heart

Minneapolis & St. Louis Said to Be
Affected.
Story is Not Credited by Minnea.
polls Officials

Minneapolis papers last week pub
lished a story to the effect that the
Minneapolis & st. Louis railway is
about to be consolidated with four
other lines. The rumor eliminates from
Chicago and is as follows:
The formation of a committee to re-
ceive deposits Of Chicago & Alton
I stocks and the selection of T.. p. Shonts
for the presidency of the Glover Leaf
are merely the initialsteps toward the
consolidation of five Western railways.
A big system is in process of organi-
cation.
The trunk line will consist of the
Kansas City Southern, the Chicago &
Alton, the Iowa Central, the Glover
Leaf and the Minneapolis & st. Louis.
e. Fl. Hartman, John w. Gates
and Eward Hawley are the influential
forces in the scheme.
Messrs. Gates and Hawley, by the
purchase Of Gen. Hubbard's holdings,
have come into complete control of the
Glover Leaf; they are also prominent
in the Kansas City Southern; they have
a large interest in the Alton, Iowa
Central and the Minneapolis & st.
Louis, which are virtually in the con-
troll of Hartman.
No credit is given among Minnea-
polls officials of the Minneapolis & st.
Louis road to the story that merger
is being contemplated. It is a well
known fact that President Edwin Haw-
ley of the M. & ST. L. has owned hold
ings in several other roads besides the
NJ. & St. L. for several years.
He is president of the Iowa Central,
of which L. F. Day, the ice-president
of the M. & ST. L., is also vice-presi-
dent. Six months ago he was elected
a director Of the Glover Leaf System,
which is the Toledo, St. Louis &
Western.
The relations of the M. & ST. L. with
the Chicago & Alton, a road said to
be affected by the alleged merger, are
friendly, but not more so than with
any other intersecting line. The two
roads interchange business with each

WERE QUIETLY MARRIED
Sleepy Eye Compile Arranged Surprise
For Their Friends.

No little surprise was caused here
this week when the announcement was
made that Miss Ella Montgomery,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Mont
gomery, had been married to John
Hardy, a mill employee of this city,
says the Sleepy Eye Dispatch.
And more than that, the couple had
been welded for nearly six months
without their relatives or friends get
ting wise to the real state of affairs.
The wedding took place at St. Peter

Of her parents. They were often seen
together, but they kept the secret of
their marriage all to themselves.
They finally decided, however, to go
elsewhere to make their home and
thought that people might as we'll be
informed oftheir wedding. According
~ one day last week the couple left for
a visit to Mr.. Hardy's home in Wis

train and no one knew anything Of
their departure until the following
morning, and then came the double
surprise. Mrs. Hardy left a note tell

and announcing her marriage.
Mrs. Hardy states in this note that
they expect to return to New Ulmsoon
and will make their home in that city,
where Mr.. Hardy will be employed in

GROCER'S NOTICE.

In accordance with our desire to give
our customers the best possible service
at the lowest prices, we have decided
to dicontinue the practice of allowing
a discount of 5 per cent on retail
monthly bills and therefore give no
tice that on and after the LIST of No

time enable us to more adequately meet
the keen competition prevailing in Oul
line of business and to give our Gus

annual meeting President Paine saying

Of the Knickerbocker Steamboat COM

they have been indicted"
Assuming that you are right in your
surmise," said General Burnett, II can
not talk of bail until after the warrants
have been served"

PLEHvE WAS A FRIEND.
Through Him American Newspapers
Now Get War News.

ST. LOUIS, July 30.-Jacob Goldberg,
Max Berkovitz and L. Il. II. Robinson,
constituting the new Russian commits
sion to the worlds fair, have arrived
from st. Petersburg.
Mr.. Goldberg, who is editor of the
Imperial Court Chronicle, and whose
twenty years of service for the Rus
sian government have given him an
intimate acquaintance with NJ. Won
Plehve, the murdered minister, said:
"Von Piehve was u brave man. l
worked under him. and l knew him
well. He received every day a stack
of anonymous letters. many threaten
ing his life, but he paid nc attention
to them. He was too busy attending
to the work of the government.
''The killing of Won Plehve, in my
opinion, was not due to personal dis
like of him. 1t was more of a protest
against the n in which the Office
of the minister Of the interior is con-
Quoted. His predecessor in office was
a~ssassinated In Il similar way.
1.-THE revolutionists evidently thought
it would be an opportune time to dis
turb the country when so many of the
troops are at the front.
"American newspapers have been
none too kind to Won Plehvc. AS q
matter of fact, Won Plehve helped
American newspapers. He removed
the censorship from the correspond
ents. When Mr.. Stone and Mr.. Thomp-
son of the Associated Press called on
him at the beginning of the war, he
agreed to let the American correspond
ents copy all the wal bulletins as fast
as they came to the government. Pre-
viously they could not see them at all.
1t Is a result of Won Plehve's act that
American newspaper readers get the
ST. Petersburg war dispatches"
