fter the cOmD1etjOn Of the ditch and |

After the completion of the ditch and
the construction of the cement sluice
way and the filling in of the necessary
dirt to fill the ditch there will be large
amount to be carried off, as the sewer
itself will occupy large portion of
the opening which will be seen from
the sample of the work that is to be
done, that has stood near the Schoch-
Reinhart building.
Work on the sewer is being pushed
as rapidly as it is possible and while
it will be impossible to come anything
near to completing it this fall a good
start will have been made by the time
the ground freezes, and as soon as the
work has progressed beyond the point
where the clay interferes and the sand
begins it will proceed very rapidly.
Most of the help employed on the
work is from this place and the crush
ed rock being used is the product OF
the New Ulm Stone Co. which is con-
coded to be the best that can be OBJ
tanned in the state. The sewer system
when completed will be one of the best
in the state and will be sufficient for
the city for all time to come. 1t is one
instance where an expediture Of a large
sum of money for Improvements will
be appreciated by all future residents
of the city.

OBSCENE POST CARDS ARE FIRED
Postal Department lnstructs Men of
the Service to Eject Them.

The growth of the obscene postal
card that has made its appearance in
the souvenir craze is bothering the
postal authorities at Washington.
The second call to arms has just been
issued by the department to postmas
tiers all over the country. In noting
thelarge number of objectionable cards
in mails, the department in letter to
the postmasters directs that they imme-
diately withdraw every card bearing a
picture or language that is obscene,
or properly suggestive, and forward
the same at once to the dead letter
office. In case of doubt, it is directed
that the card be sent to the assistant
postmaster general.

CROPS TAX TRANSPORTATION
Movemement of Grain Delayed by
Car Shortage.
Railroads Using All Available
Rolling Stock.
Exceptionally Good Weather For
Threshing is Cause.

While there is a large per cent of
the grain still to be threshed in this
part of the country and also in most
parts of the northwest, there is more
of it ready to market now than is
usual at this time of the year. and the
, result is that the railroads are taxed
beyond their capacity to haul the
grain.
Every available engine in the yards
and many that have been laid aside
have been repaired so as TO be in shape
to be put on the road and do service in
! the relief of the farmer. The result is
that there are some peculiar looking
trains to be seen on some of the roads
and in some ways accounts for some
of the accidents that have been quite
numerous recently.
While this is the case the roads are
using extra precaution in the running
of the trains and caring we'll for the
possibility Of danger. The call for
removal Of grain from the elevators is
SO great that something had to be
done.
This is due to the fact that the past
month has been one of almost unpre-
cedented threshing weather and every
machine in the country has been work
ing full time every day SO that more
farmers have completed their work
and marketed their grain so far as
they were able to. In some places it
is claimed that the elevators have to
refuse to take grain, and in others
it is piled up on the side of the tracks,
covered with some sort of covering and
left there to await the pleasure of the
roads.
Complaint has been rife against the
railroads because of this condition,
andIthe Grain and Warehouse commits.
sion has been appealed to compel a
change, but it looks as though the
roads were doing all in their power tc
relieve the situation and were succeed
ing as rapidly as it could be expected
- While there has been a large croI
in this part Of the state it is eviden
that the crop farther west has exceeded
this and it is the burden of the western
crop that is taxing the. roads more Sc
than the Minnesota crop.
With all this sudden movement o
grain it is surprising that there is no
a greater shortage of money, but tina
commodity seems to be as free as
ever was and there is still plenty of
to be had on good security at reason
able rate of interest, which is an indi
cation that the predicted panic that j
due next year is still several laps be
hind.
All things considered the season Jus
closing for this part of the Unite
States has been one of the most pros
porous of the past decade or more, an
though the prices for most things ar
higher than they were in 1896 the wag
rate is higher and the general tenor {
all things is for the better, in spite {
4 the republican administration.

to her other qualifications the charm

In every station, in every depart
ment Of life, young men and young
women are carving out successful
careers for themselves largely because
of their courteousness and agreeable
demeanor.
On the other hand, We see men and
women of ability sidetraCked all along

Courtesy Is to business and society

anyone who had witnessed the scene
