Patrons May Rent Boxes.

The postmaster general has ruled
that patrons of rural free delivery
routes may have their choice, call at
the postoffice for their mail or have it
delivered, but the postmaster is not
required to go through the carriers
case in his absence to hunt out mail
for anybody, nor are the carriers re-
quired to stay at the postoffice after
making their trips to wait on their pa
irons. Therefore, patrons desiring
service both by the carrier and the
postofice will be required to rent a
box at the postoffice in which the post
master may put the mail which accu-
mulates during the day, and such rent
er may call and get the mail at any
time during Office hours.

day the ladies disposed of the last of
their stock.
Perfect picnic weather prevailed.
All day long the sun made its presence
felt and there was sufficient heat to
please the most fastidious excursionist.
1t was, however, very evident that all
of the visitors enjoyed themselves
thoroughly and the members of the
New Ulm lodges have reason to feel
that the picnic was one of the most
successful of recent years and that
they did not fail in their efforts to give
their guests good time.
By far the greater portion of these
people were we'll exhausted by the time
the train left at s O'Clock. Their walks
to and from the park and the pastimes
they engaged in gave nearly all of them
a surfeit of pleasure and by evening
they were quite ready to depart for
their homes. The attendance was not
as large as on some former occasions
but the size of the crowd cannot be
said to have been greatly below expec-
tations.

CHAS. TOBERER is DEAD
Prominent Young Man Passed Away
Thursday.

Death came Thursday to relieve the
sutferings of Charles Toberer, one of
New Ulm's most prominent young
business men. The deceased had been
afflicted with tuberculosis for about
six years and in 1901 went to Las
Vegas, New Mexico, in the hopes that
his health would be improved by the
change in climate. He obtained no
permanent relief but a year ago last
winter made a trip to Florida and
Cuba for the same purpose. Last jan
uary he retired from active pursuits
and it had been his intention to try
once more to regain his health by go
ing to Old Mexico, but physicians ad-
vised against the trip and he spent the
remaining months of his life at the
home of his parents on North German
street. Two weeks ago he was COM
PEELED to take to his bed and shortly
before l O'Clock Thursday the end
came.
Charles Toberer was born in. New

Hoffman,, member of the Sanity
City delegation, was interviewed by
that paper and expressed himself
freely.
s'New Ulm is pretty town, but the
people have very little time for trade
unions,' said Mr.. Hoffman,. SAT
least they had a very perverted con-
ception of the objects of unionism
when the delegates first arrived there
Sunday and part of Monday we were
viewed with considerable suspicion,
to all appearances, and it is likely
that their attitude would have contin-
ued the same but for the interest taken
in US by some men who had formerly
been members of unions in large cities.
"During Monday there was change
in the attitude of the New Ulm people,
and from that time until our depart
ure we were treated with the utmost
consideration, an outdoor entertain
ment being given in honor of the dele
gates. Some of the people with whom
we became acquainted later frankly
admitted that when we first came they
were of the opinion that we were spe-
cies of outlaws who had come to New
Ulm with no good Intentions.
1.-THE state convention was given to
the town with the view that it might
result in the organization of a number
of unions, but the outcome did not JUS
tify the belief. The carpenters were
induced to organize, but the other
trades fought shy of us. An instance
of this was the cigarmakers, there be-
ing about seventy journeymen working
in New Ulm, but when the shops were
visited we found that the men had been
given holiday and practically told
that they could become members of the
union if they chose, but if they did so
they might also seek new places of en-
ployment.
"It was useless under such condi-
tions to endeavor to organize the
trade, and the effort was abandoned.
The people appeared to be SO we'll
pleased with their conditions that our
talk seemed to have little effect, al
though the business men and authori-
ties became very friendly when con-
WINGED that we did not swoop down
upon them with the intention of taking

thirty-frst year. When young man
he was connected with the city water
works department. but in 1894 he en-
barked in the plumbing and steam
heating business for himself. In this
he was successful. By close appllca-
ton and strict attention to business he
built up wide patronage and was
very prosperous. In January he de-
termined to retire from active purs uits
and sold his business to Cuddy q
Cavanaugh.
The deceased had never married but
was devotedly attached to his aged
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. j. G. Toberer,
and a year ago built a fine residence
for them on North German street. He
was quiet and unassuming but an ac-
quaintance with him invariably rip
ened into admiration and esteem. He
possessed many admirable qualities
and during his long illness bore his
sufferings uncomplainingly.
For many years he was member Of
the New Ulm Turnverein and also be-
longed to Sioux Lodge, K. OF P, and
Reuter- Lodge, Sons of Herman. He
was an honorary member of the Sec
ond Regiment band and the New Ulm
Fire Department. and all of these
organizations attended the funeral,
which was held from Turner Hall at 8
O'Clock Sunday morning. Interment
was made in the city cemetery.

NAMED on FIRST BALLOT
Labor Delegates Quickly Select
Their President.
Harry L. Dix of Minneapolis, Won
Out With Ease.
Union Man Returns Home and
Tells of Convention.

No great trouble was experienced by
the members of the Minnesota State
Federation of Labor in selecting their
president. After the Review went to
press last Wednesday morning the
election was held in Turner Hall and
it resulted in Harry L. Dix of Mime
apolis, being elevated to the presi-
dency. The latter had been looked
upon as the probable choice of the
convention and the outcome showed
that his followers had the situation
we'll in hand. st. Paul delegates
weakened their chances by nominating
three candidates, G. E. James, A. Il.
Garfield and T. F. Thomas, and the
first ballot gave the election to Dix.
Garfield E. Morrison of Mankato,
was made first vice president; r. G.
Kutz of Brainerd, second vice presi-
dent; Miss Augusta G. Seifridt of st.
Paul, third vice president; and W. E.
McEwen of Duluth, was unanimously
reelected as secretary and treasurer.
The members of the Federation Coun-
Gil are: John Rogan, Thos. Van Lear,
P. F. Jordan, Minneapolis: J. L..
Hughes, T. F. Thomas, Chas. Doug
las, st. Paul; and M. O. Saltz, Wi
mona.
Besides electing officers the conven-
tion disposed of several other import
ant matters at its closing session. It
was voted to increase the per capita
tax from l to cents monthly, but the
proposition to give the smaller cities
representation on the Federa 10 n
Council was killed by the delegates.
AS substitute measure the number of
vice-presidents was increased from
two to three and provision was made
to have them attend at least two meet
ings of the Council.
Brainerd and St. Cloud both extend
ed invitations for the 1905 convention
and that Of the former was accepted
Prior to the adjournment resolution
was adopted thanking the people of
New Ulm for their courteous and con-
siderate treatment of the delegates.
Some idea of the impressions of the
visitors is conveyed by an article

SEVEN SUBMITTED BIDS
H. SChapekahm Given Contract TO
Build Catholic School.

Seven contractors submitted pro-
posals for erecting the new Catholic
parochial school building and there
was difference of nearly $4,000
between the highest and lowest. H.
Schapekahm of. this city, made the
low bid, of $40, 449, and the job was
awarded to him.
The building committee consisting
of Rev. Father Fl. B. Sandmeyer, Wd.
Eibner, Andrew J. Eckstein, John
Henle, Andreas Amann and Franz
Schubert met at the parish house last
Wednesday afternoon and opened the
sealed bids. They were as follows:
e. Miller, Minneapolis 1853, $50
Weiland & Stegemann, New
Ulm NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. ...... 81, 600
John Gronau, New Ulm ..... 50, 400
Ell. A. Paine, Albert Lea $500. a, 900
Otto Tape, New Ulm. ......... AZ, $50
J. B. Nelson, Mankato ........ ~, $50
Ell. Schapekahm, New Ulm. -. 40, 449
1t was voted to consider only the
three lowest bids and each was re-
quested to make an offer for the
material in the old buildings, be torn
down and removed free of charge.
They agreed to allow the parish the
sum Of $4,000 for the buildings and
this was deducted from their bids.
None Of the proposals included heat
ing or plumbing.
It is intended to put down the founda-
ton this fall and complete the school
next year. Caecilian Hall and the old
parish house will be torn out imme-
diately but the north wing of the
present school building will not be
removed until next June, thus de-
priving the scholars of only one month
of work. Wenzel Sittauer has agreed
to move his building on the school
property within a very short time.

HAS IDEAS ON THE TARIFF
Protection Speech Delivered by
Cong. McCleary.
He Will Not Avoid Issue in the
Coming Campaign.
Favors Revision But Believes il
Should be Upward.

Representative James Z. McCleary,
who is still lingering in Washington,
is to set new pace for the Republican
party in the approaching campaign,
says Geographic dispatch from the
national capital. He has startling
proposition for tariff revisionists of
the west.
Mr.. McCleary is willing to revise the
tariff, but revise it upward rather than
downward. He would add few more
layers to the wall rather than take off
any. That is his answer to free traders
and revisionists. The boldness of his
stand is accumulated by the fact that a
rival candidate for the nomination in
his district is in the field on a plat
form of revision.
Mr.. McCleary is nothing if not bold
and straightforward in politics. In
1896, when the free silver craze swept
many western states from their moor
ings, he gave a similar exhibition of
boldness. That was the time when
John Lind, then sitting in the house
in the district now represented by Mr..
McCleary, left the Republican party,
taking with him thousands of votes to
join the silverites.
Mr.. McCleary came out fat-footed
for the gold standard and never yielded
an inch in the campaign. He won. In
1896, he made speech in the house in
answer to Charles Towne's celebrated
free silver argument. That speech OF
Mr.. McCleary's was circulated by
Republicans to the extent of eleven
million copies, the record in campaign
literature.
A belated issue of the Congressional
Record will contain Mr.. McCleary's
tariff speech, authority for the pub
LEGATION of which was obtained at the
close of the last session.
His opening declarations asfollows:
"We, who thoroughly believe in pro-
lection, are reluctant to see single
days work for us done elsewhere than
in this country. We stand by the
proposition that the people of the
United States can do their own work,
fight their own battles and solve their
own problems. In our judgment,
nothing is cheap to the people of the
United States, production of which
leaves our own resources undeveloped
and our own people unemployed.
His references to revising the tariff
upward are as follows: ssAre tariff
schedules sacred? No, but welfare OF
our people should be sacred to those
whose actions, maybe, do much to
promote or to retard it. Should our
tariff laws never be revised? Certainly
they should; wherever it becomes
evident that there is more to be gained
than lost by the people of the United
States through such revisions.
"It will be necessary for those de-
manding tariff revision on such grounds
to specify just how conditions have
changed and just what it is therefore
wise to do. We shall certainly not
allow ourselves to be beguiled by
generalities.
''Inasmuch as wages have advanced
much more rapidly here than abroad
it may be that the next revision vii.
need to be upward, not downward
Revision upward can always be under
taken safely. It has never yet hac
any but good effect on business
Revision downward has never We
failed to have a bad effect, no matter
by whom done"
