Winona, Ind, July l7.-When the
assembly awoke yesterday morning it
was astonished at the change over night
in the appearance of a statue of the
Venus de Milo, the gift of II. j. Heinz,
the Pittsburg millionaire
The statue, after prolonged debate,
had been taken from the freight house,
where it had been kept for week after
its arrival, by directors of the assembly
while they were deciding whether its
absence of drapery would give offense
at a religious gathering. 1t was fin

gown. Whether the decoration was
done by jokers or some Mortified mem

Or. w. A. aeach Lands Where the
Only Contest Was Had.


The school election Saturday re-
suited in only one surprise. In the
third precinct DIR. w. A. Beach was
elected to succeed DR.. George H. Davis,
who is about to leave the city. 1t was
not known that his friends were serious

counted it was found that he had
twenty two to twelve for j. A. Flittie,
who had been the only one mentioned as
a candidate DIR. Beach did not know
himself that he was being pushed until
late in the afternoon.
The three members in the other pre-
cincts whose terms expire were reflect
ed, there being no opposition in any of
the precincts. T. r. Coughlan was re-
elected in the first, +. M. Currier was
chosen to succeed himself in the second,
and Mrs B. ID. Smith was reelected in
the fourth. Mrs. Smith received forty
eight votes, Mr. Coughlan nineteen and
Mr.. Currier more than twenty.
The school board will meet Wednes-
day evening to canvass the vote and
transact any other business coming up.

TAXES DUE FROM "HELLOS'
Public Examiner kerst Is Making An
investigation.

tnveStigatton.
From Mondays Daily.
p. NJ Kerst, public examiner, has be-
GUN an investigation among the seven
ty-odd telephone companies of the state
for the purpose of discovering if they
owe back taxes to the state. Accord
ing to Mr.. krest, there has not been an
examination into the gross earnings of
these companies for at least three years.
Many of the telephone companies,
which are taxed 3 per cent on their
gross earnings, have omitted to make
returns to the state, Mr. Kerst says. In
nearly all instances such omission has
been occasioned by an oversight on the
part of the company officials.
Mr.. Kerst yesterday notified the state
auditor that many taxes are due the
state from three companies. The Citi-
zens' Telephone Company of Montevideo
owes the state $2O2.54 as the 3 per cent
tax on gross earnings amounting to S6,-
75l65; the Minnesota Valley Telephone
and Telegraph company $l72.33, as tax
on gross earnings of $5,744.22, and the
Osakis Telephone company 1912, tax
on gross earnings of $9lO.S0.
The officials of these companies have
expressed their willingness to send to
the state drafts covering these amounts.
which in the aggregate mean an in
crease in the revenue of the state of

NEW ULM'S CYCLONE.
1t Occurred Twenty-Four Years Ago
Lest Friday.


From Mondays Daily.
The News recalls that twenty four
years ago on Friday, July ID,
a terrifying cyclone swept over
New Ulm, which destroyed the
entire block except one frame
building in the block in which
The News has had home for nearly
ten years, and that small building was
twisted from its foundation. The next
block south of Minnesota street was
much wrecked, some of the buildings
having been annihilated. Many of the
business buildings in the center of the
city were also unroofed and others had
holes made in them. Buildings on Broad
way and other streets, including
churches, were unroofed or otherwise
injured. Tin roofs were rolled up and
thrown upon the streets. As the storm
moved southwark there was much
wreckage, some buildings wholly car
red off, and the Hauenstein brewery
building was partly destroyed. The
town was sorry sight the next day,
when the writer visited it, and the peo-
pie were in nearly as great consterna
ton as during the Sioux Indian massa-
ere of August, 1862. But, with some
outside assistance, and the courage of
he business community, New Ulm was
soon rebuilt and repaired Fortunately
there was small loss of life and com
paratively few persons injured, although
there were many hairbreadth escapes.
Our old friend, j. p Current. was in
town at the time, and he helped to
hold the door closed in the home of
Charles Brust.
