THE NEW YEAR
is at hand and new
resolutions are in order.


Did the old year show at it's
close that as the results of economy
and thrift you were the possessor
of snug bank account, or was it a
case of waiting too long to act
upon good intentions
There is no time like the present
to establish an aggressive campaign
for future comfort and happiness,
and a small deposit each month
will in a few years show a surpris-
ingly large amount; and the results
of such a practice will be the only
recommendation needed.

VOTE NO-LICENSE

vermont AuIl-O dlOOA
VOTE NO-LICENSE.
Why? Because every respectable
man who votes license votes to put
next door to somebody else nuisance
and snare which he would not willingly
have near his own home.
VOTE NO-LICENSE.
Why? Because to vote license is to
say it is right to sell, and right to
drink, intoxicating liquors; while it
educates the boys and girls to look
with approval upon the dram shop.
VOTE NO-LICENSE.
Why? Because a vote for license
is a vote to enable man to make
drunkards, paupers and criminals, anc
to be protected in that business by
the state.
The liquor sellers business is tc
make drunkards, just as much as
shoemaker's is to make shoes, or
tailor's to make coats.
VOTE NO-LICENSE.
Why? Because sober citizens are
to taxed to take care of RESULTS o.
the liquor traffic.
The Massachusetts, state board Of
charities says: eighty per cent. Of
the criminals are from the drinking
classes; and eight-tenths of the cost
of pauperism is the DIRECT CON
SEQUENCE of the indulgence in alco-
holic beverages.

No License Meeting.
The no license mass meeting held
at the opera house in Rutland recently
was attended by about 400 people.
Joseph G. Jones spoke against the
working of the license law as demon
strated in Rutland. The speaker
claimed that the law had been a
failure in Rutland and that conditions
had been much worse than under the
old law. To prove this he referred to
the police court records which show
over four times as many arrests
during the last year as there were the
year previous. He also referred tt
the loose manner in which the saloons
are conducted, claiming that the Law
il violated many times every day
The speaker declared that socia
drinking was encouraged by the oper
saloon and that this was running the
lives of many young men in the city
He claimed that the conditions OF
the streets were never so bad before
In closing the speaker said that tht

New Ulm, Dec 90. One hundred and
twenty veniremen were assembled in
Judge Webber's court this morning OF
that number twenty-five were excused
for various reasons, some being fremen,
others having passed the age limit and
still others have sickness in their fam
lilies. These veniremen were brought in
from New Ulm, Sleepy Eye and
Springfield, and were picked up indis-
criminately. On account of the storm
it was impossible for the coroner and
his deputies to invade the countryside.
1t was 1890 when the examination of
the veniremen was commenced. Up to
noon but one of those examined was ac-
cepted as juror. He is Hans Larson
of Sleepy Eye, a retired farmer and is
siXty-two years old.
Before the examination was proceeded
with Attorney Somerville called the at
tention of the court to the work of
the citizens committee, and stated that
great deal of evidence had been col
lected, all of which had been tran
scribed He was sorry to say that this
evidence has not been filed with the clerk
of court as the law provides.
Attorney Childs stated that he was
not acquainted with the labors of the
citizens committee.
At this stage of the proceedings At
tOrney Pfaender put in an appearance.
He stated that the transcript was not
completed.
Attorney Somerville said the defense
was willing to accept the transcript
even if it was not punctuated. He
thought the state was resorting to small
ways in order to keep the transcript
from the defense. Attorney Somerville
appealed to JuG3e Weber.
Judge Weber could give the defense

by the citizens committee prior to the
arrest of Koch and therefore the tran
script was beyond his jurisdiction.
The citizens committee paid for the
work of gathering the evidence, and
therefore 1t is the property of the COM
mittee. The county has practically re-
fused to pay for the transcribing of the
evidence.
1t is said there has been breach of
good faith on the part of the state.
Justice Henningson, before whom all the
evidence was taken, was to have filed
the transcript with the clerk of court
prior to his departure for California,
so it is claimed by the defense.

From Thursdays Daily.
The startling confession of Claude
Scrawford, one of the men held in the
county Jail charged with the murder of
Heino Lundeen in box car near Elk
River on Nov. IL, was first made public
yesterday by Chief of Police Conroy of
Minneapolis.
In cold blooded manner Scrawford
graphically related all the circumstances
surrounding the murder, from the time
the fatal shot was fired until he was
captured by Sheriff Ward.
Besides the gruesome details of the
crime for which he was arrested, Scraw-
ford told of murders committed by Par

Warren Clements, a former MankatC
boy, whose father, Frank Clements, NOV
ed with his family to New York city
from Mankato about two years ago, is
now student of prominence in the
freshman class in the collegiate depart
ment of the Polytechnic Institute at
New York, an exceedingly popular
Young fellow with his classmates and
president of the class organization. Last
week Warren figured conspicuously in
a merry practical joke that was played
on his class by the sophomores.
The members of the sophomore class
the other night got back at the fresh
men for the mean trick the latter
played on the sophs just before Thanks
giving when they broke up the dinner of
the class of 1907 by capturing two of
its best men, including the president.
The two sophs were taken after bit
ter fight and locked up where their
friends could not reach them. Without
the presence of the president of the
class, the sophomore Thanksgiving din
>ner could not 90 on, and it was post
poned, while the under classmen made
much of their victory.
The tables were turned on the under
classmen on Thursday night, however.
After the freshmen had broken up the
Thanksgiving dinner, the sophs got to-
gether in secret conclave and decided to
hold their dinner last Thursday night at
Shanley's in Manhattan. Somehow or
other the freshmen got wind of the af-
fair, but whoever gave them the inform
alton misled them. The freshmen had
heard that the dinner was to take place
on Friday night and prepared to make
things hot again for the sophomores and
if possible again prevent the dinner from
taking place.
The warlike spirit of the sophs was
up, however, and they took every precau-
ton to see that their program was not
upset. They first decided to force a

More than four hundred fowls are on
exhibit at the exposition now being
held by the Central Minnesota Poultry
association at 3OS South Front street.
There are more than twice as many
specimens as there We're at last years
show. The exposition held by the asso-
citation this year is larger by far than
any of its predecessors and better in
every way. There are fifty-five exhibit
ors living in many different parts of the
state who have sent their thorough
bred chickens, ducks, geese and pigeons
to this show. About two hundred people
visited the place today. The managers
hope that this number will be largely
increased tomorrow and for the rest of
the days of this week during which the
exposition is to be continued.

flank movement by capturing as many
of the freshmen as they could. The
freshmen had no idea that there would
be any hostilities that day, as they sup
posed, before the dinner, so on Thursday
morning they appeared as usual in the
vicinity of the institute but unguard-
ed. The sophs lost no time in taking
advantage of their opportunity. The
class leaders separated, and before any
of the underclass men had realized what
was going on they had captured three of
the best known freshmen, Jones, La
Vine and Clements.
La Vine and Clements were taken into
custody few blocks from the institute
and, fighting and kicking, were piled into
a cab and whisked away to the home
of one of the sophs named Wentig, on
First street near Seventh avenue. Jones
was surrounded while on his way to the
institute and carried to nearby res
taurant, where he was locked up all day
in a private room. The freshmen got
wind of what had happened and set out
to find their missing classmates. But
the secret of the sophs had been kept
well and the freshmen were unable to To-
cate the prisoners.
That night the sophomores had their
dinner as scheduled at Shanley's. While
the merriment was at it's height the
three underclassmen in the custody of
half dozen of the sophs were led into
the dining room.
The sophs then proceeded to make
the captive freshmen do stunts. La
Vine, Jones and Clements sang, danced,
made funny speeches, and while the
merry sophs jeered and laughed and
joRed at their expense, entertained the
diners in right royal style. For two
hours this was kept up, and then the
sophs, concluding that the unfortunate
freshmen had had CROUCH, let them 90.
Now the sophs are claiming that while
the freshmen had the first laugh, theirs
was the real victory. The freshmen are
not saying word.

Didn't Know 1t Was Loaded.

Burt Payne, farmer of South Bend,
had a lucky escape from being shot
through the head in a saloon in this city
one day this week. Mr.. Payne was
standing before the counter, when the
bartender in jolly mood produced a
large thirty eight caliber revolver and
said, "Look out, | might shoot you.
The next instant the weapon exploded
Payne's head, missing him by about two
inches, passed through the stove pipe
and lodged in the wall. The bartender
was badly frightened. 1t was the old
story over again. He didn't think the
weapon was loaded.

NORTH kANKAIO

To organize a Lutheran church where
in the English language will be spoken
exclusively in all the services and pro
ceedings is a movement that Superin
tendent Sander of the Nicollet county
schools intends to set on foot in NORTH
Mankato The superintendent is himself
prominent member and worker in the
Lutheran church at st. Peter, where the
services are in the English language and
he thinks Mankato and North Mankato
really want Just such an institution, anC
that it will thrive just as well here as
there. The fact is that the younger gen
Grafton of German, Swedish and Nor
weigian Lutherans are more familiar
with the English tongue than that which
is spoken by their own parents and
which these parents have ceased to be
the medium of communication in the
local Lutheran churches. Hence, these
young people often dislike to go to
church, because they are obliged to lis
ten to a discourse in a language that
is foreign to themselves. Superintend-
ent Sander thinks many young Luther
ans in this community could be induced
to attend church much more regularly if
the services were in English. Hence
his project of establishing a new Luther
an church. The parents, who prefer the
language of their European Netherlands
may continue to 90 to the churches
where these tongues are spoken.
All who are interested in this move
ment are invited to attend the melting
at which the new church project will be
discussed and perhaps set on foot. This
meeting will take place on Monday
evening, Jan. 2, at J. S. Rolls tailor
shop on Belgrade avenue near the
bridge The meeting will be called to
order at 7:30 o'clock. The superintendent
is expected to be there.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Alta OAR
rington, sister of w. S. Albrant, and
Robert E. Hynson, a young farmer of
Spring Island, were married at the Al
brant residence on Cornelia street Rev.
Peter Clare performed the ceremony here
also. Mrs. Darlington a year ago came
to the village from her former home in
Illinois, and has been living here ever
since with her little son, Floyd, aged
twelve. Mr. and Mrs. Hynson, accom-
panied by Floyd, left last evening for
Spring Island, where they will reside, to-
foot prizes to Miss Alkaline Hodapp and
gether with Mr.. Hynson's mother, at the
dwelling on his farm. Numerous friends
wish the couple all happiness and pros
perity.
Twentyfour people were entertained
last evening at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Wendell Hodapp. Progressive cinch
was played, the head prizes falling to
st. Cloud, where he is employed at his
trade of making and selling shoes.
