OLD RESIDENT GOES TO REWARD
George Schmidt Dies at His Home Early Friday
Morning.

George Schmidt, 81 years old, one
of the early settlers of New Ulm. and
a man closely connected with the bust
ness interests of the city for thirty
years, was summoned by death early
Friday morning at his home on Wash.
ington street. He had been in poor
health tor a year and more and had
been sinking for six weeks. Mr..
Schmidt was an uncle of DR. George
r.. Koch.
Mr.. Schmidt was born in AeckIen-
burg, Germany, in 1910 and came to
New Ulm directly from the old coun-
try when he was thirty years old. Ten
years later, in 1880, he built the origi-
nal Empire Roller mill, in company
with his brother Carl and several
others.
He sold out his interests in the New
Ulm institution in 1899 and invested
his money in the milling business in
| Young America and in Echo. His in
terests in these villages he also dis
posed off last year and removed to
| New Ulm in March,
Mr.. Schmidti is survived by widow
and four children. The children are:
Miss Marie, who is a teacher in the
Milwaukee public schools, and Misses
Dora and Alma and George, who are
living at home.
/ The funeral services were held Sun
day afternoon at 2 O'Clock at the
Washington street home.

HYDRANT RENT TOO HlGH?'
Question Of Lowering Annual Rate
to City Is Up.
The City Fathers Will Decide in the
Near Future.
$50 Is the Present Annual Rate
May Be Reduced to S45.

The question of the rate which shall
be charged the city for hydrant rental
is one which will be brought up before
the city council at a near date for
decision. Superintendent Adolf Wag-
ner has been gathering statistics for
two weeks and will soon be ready to-
lay his recommendatio before the
aldermen.
At present the city is charged $50 a
year for each hydrant and it is pro-
posed to lower this by ten or fifteen
dollars, if it is decided that the charge
ks too high. No one believes it is too
low. There are seventy six MIGRANTS
in New Ulm. SO that each year 81 $50
rs taken from the Ere department. fund
and placed in the waterWorks fund.
OF course, from pne point of view it
charged 800 or $40 year rental, as
the waterworks plant is owned by the
municipality; but from another view
point, that of business, it makes a
vast QlHerenCe.
The city wishes the plant to pay all
ITS own expenses, pay fair interest
on the investment and also sum into
d reserve fund which will offset
depreciation in the plant. That it may
do this and that the city may know
just how much to charge the public
for water used with this end in view,
it must know how much to charge
itself.
The water used from each hydrant
is not worth $50 Or $45 a year by any
means, but that is not the basis on
which the rental charge is made. The
rental is based on investment. The
seventy-six hydrants represent an in
vestment, and more than this, the
maintenance.ofthese MIGRANTS requires
q very much larger and more ex-
pensive plant, watermains and pump
ing station, than would be necessary
if water We're supplied only to private
houses and buildings.
liz HuCoOioli vi a. CI1O DuSiuSSS-
like rate is one which has been bother
ing the aldermen for a long time and
last week Superintendent Wagner sent
out letters to fifty three different mu-
inequalities inquiring as to their rate
and other matters. The question was
also asked if, in the opinion of the
correspondent, the charge was too low
or two high.
Answers have bsen received from
more than half of those interrogated.
They show that in some cities the
charge is higher than $50 but in these
cases the opinion is expressed that it
is too high; and that in still other
cities the charge is less than $45 but
here also the opinion is that more
should be collected
Superintendent Wagner is Of the
opinion that a rental of $40 a year for
each hydrant is very fair and enough
to cover cost of maintenance, interest
on investment and TO also allow for
depreci alton.

Newport, R. L, Aug. 25.-Expected
winners took all the sixteen matches
of the third round in the national
tennis championship in singles at the
Casino Thursday. The narrowing of
the tournament, however, brought to-
gether stronger players, so that some
of the contests were drawn to extra
sets.
The successful clearing up of three
rounds, neceSSitating a decision in
eighty-nine events in three days. al
most assures the completion of the
tournament by Wednesday of next
week, provided rain does not interfere.
There was some difficulty in selecting
a good match for the exhibition court,
but finally Richard Stevens, an old
time favorite. and G. Watson, Jr., a
young aspirant, were started and fur
nished some sport for four sets.
Stevens, as usual, played his base line
game without variation and while
Watson ran in frequently he could not
get his opponent out of position.
The hardest fought match of the
day was between G. A. Lyon and c. C.
Hinckiey, which went five sets, one of
them a long deuce affair, before Lyon
won. With Collins. Horton, Stevens,
Waidner Clothier, Wright, Larned and
Behr still in the play, the tournament
will increase in interest daily. The
star match today will probably be that
between w. A. Larned and r. D. Lit
tie, with the former as the faVOrite.

BOTH GAMES CLOSE.

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 25.-Though
the finishes were sensational, though
neither game was won until the last
dog was hung, though but one run
separated the fighters, Topeka dropped
both games of a double-header to the
Senator's here yesterday afternoon. The
first was by a score of Z to and the
second by score of to 5.
It was not good baseball, Guthrie
making 9 errors in the two games and
Topeka 4. Then there was rag-chew-
ing by the yard with the umpire. Tor
renee. AS on the preceding days. the
games were full of trouble for him.
Wrangling galore marked the entire
contest. He brought the mailed hand
down on Jack Henry in the last in
ming of the first game and sent the
belligerent little Topeka backstop to
the bench. Jack tried to stretch a
single into a double and was nabbed at
second. He vcciferously denounced
cordingly canned" from the game.
This contest looked like Topeka's right
from the start. In the first round To-
peka garnered four runs, hitting Wo-
mack hard. But in the fifth inning
the Senators made five. To keep the
thing interesting the visitors made an
other in the sixth tying the score.
Then the fight kept on nip and tuck,
the locals finally winning out in the
ninth. A man by the name of Dunn
was in the box for Topeka.
In the second game Lazotte went
behind the bat and Carter was sent to
right field. McKelvey served the slants
for Topeka, while Ben Henderson
worked for the home contingent. But
five innings were played on account of
the heat. In the third inning the score
was q tie, to 4. Topeka made one
in its half of the fifth and looked like
q sure winner. But Garrison finish
game.
This makes sixteen straight games
which the White Sox have lost.

HiIIehrand 70 yyashinpton.

Cincinnati, Aug. 25.-The national
commission has decided that Hille-
brand, now with the Pittsburg Ma
tional league club, belongs to the
Washington club of the American
league. Hillebrand appealed to the
national commission to be declared
free of reservation from the Washing
ton club. His petition alleged that in
October, 1908, he and his brother
agreed, to play with the -Washingtons
during the year 1904. He said he ac-
cepted $1,000 advance money. Later
his parents objected to him and his
brother playing professional ball, and
he so notified Washington, at the same
time sending back the $1,000. He
claims he heard nothing further from
Washington. Hillebrand's plea for re
lease is that the Washington club did
not tender him contract in March,
the latest time allowed.
