where a few days were spent In the
interest of the farmers, / am indeed
glad to report that success crowned
the effort, as usual. AT Cary, Green
Level, Olives Chapel and Holly
Springs they now have good, strong
sub Alliances; especially is this true
in point of quality. At Holly
Springs, Notwithstanding it was a
mighty cold day and short notice,
and hog killing all around, we organ
lied with "A of the leading farmers
in that section. Had it not been
for the extreme cold and snowy
weather and a little smallpox scare.
Wake County farmers would have
been organized by now. However,
we hope to see them later.
It's hard to say who was the clev-
crest. Wherever we went we thought
we found just the incest people at
all. When we arrived at Cary, the
first n we saw was our good friend
T. B. Parker. S. B. A. Bro. Parker
was passing off here as a local man.
Brother HollonIan kindly carried us
over parker and myself to the
Walker Hotel, and here we were
served to a good dinner. About .
o'clock quite a goodly number gath
cred at the public school house
farmers, merchants and others, and
Brother Holloman, in a very appro-
pirate speech. introduced Brother
Parker. Well, to say the least of it,
Parker made a good speech. 1t was
clear and forceful. and when he got
through everybody said, Hurrah for
Parker.
Then the State Lecturer wa
brought forward-almost dumb be-
cause Parker had told it all; how
ever, at the close of his talk, the
doors of the old Farmers Alliance
were thrown open and many good
names were added to the roll. Here

We went from here to Green
Level and spent Saturday night and
Sunday at the good home of Bro. w.
b. UPchurch, and went to church
Sunday at Green Level. We fell
much in love with Brother Campbell,
the pastor there. He is truly a good
preacher and a great man. He, you
know, is principal of Buie's Greek
Academy, noted for ability, executive
and otherwise. Green Level has a
sub Alliance with some 40-odd mem
bers.
We went from here to Olives
Chapel. and again succeeded. Here
we made A. G. Olives headquarters.
He probably has the most magnii-
N country home in the county
just finished. From here we went
to Holly Springs. and made Bro. G.

FINANCES PLEASE COUNCIL
Overdraft Rapidly Decreasing
$1,000 in January.
Bonds for Only $4,000 Will Rec
commended to Voters.
This Is to Replace the Ones Issued
Fifteen Years Ago.

So rapidly is the city of New Ulm
getting out of debt that the council
confidently expects in a few months to
have the city on easy street. The
ioverdraft on the bank was reduced last
month alone from over SO, 900 to over
$1,000. This rapid rate of debt paying
SO encourages the aldermen that they
have decided not to propose bonds at
the spring election more than the S1O,-
900 to replace the old ones which are
due this year.
Alderman Gieseke as chairman Of
the finance committee said last night
at the regular meeting of the council
/ that the committee, to whom the ques-
ton of bonds had been referred, had
decided to advise that the $40, 700 alone
be recommended to the voters.
These are general Improvement
bonds issued fifteen years ago, and as
the rate Of interest is high, six per
cent, it has been the intention of the
council to take them up and replace
them with cheaper ones. Money can
be borrowed by the state to cover the
Iloan, and then this money taken and
used to pay off the old bonds held by
a private concern in Chicago.
1t was the intention of the council to
present the matter to the voters at the
election last spring, but the contest
developed into such a bitter and in
teresting fight as to completely over
shadow any bond proposition.
The session was an uneventful one.
There have been SO many special meet
/ ings the last month that all the bust
ness of Importance had been cleaned
up and little left for the regular meet
ing.
4 Superintendent Adolf Wagner's re.
\ port for the month past shows that the
WaterWorks and electric light plant is
more than paying its way, as some
thing like $500 was received over ex-
penses during January. This moved
!. City Clerk Schilling to remark thai
j the city was paying too much hydrant
rent and this matter was discussed q

would be ready to give its recommen

Koeh's Business Good.

Since his release on bail week ago
Friday, DR.. Koch has been in his Office
,=very day attending to his practice
4snd has had an unusually heavy rush
of business. Patients have been more
numerous than ever before since he
hung out his sign and he has been
forced to make dates for several days
ID advance, so occupied have been his
office hours.
This is very pleasing to the young
man, as it was generally predicted
mat after the trial his business would
be practically ruined and that he would
nave to seek q new location and pos
sibly change his name
DR.. Koch could never be induced to
take this gloomy view of the case and
has proclaimed often that he expected
TO continue practicing in his home city
and felt sure that his friends and many
others who believed in his innocence
would stand by him.

After the program a dainty luncheon

in the national colors and the table
decorations were small flags.

fee where one Of the clerks can look
after the calls. It works just as it
does in the large cities, where the SUBJ
switch is used in practically all build
ings where a large establishment has
offices.
q II any department is wanted, Cen
trail is called and the party connected
with the operator at the building, to
whom he states the name of the person
with whom hewishes to talk. The oper-
ator then connects him with the depart
ment
. If the switch is put in the courthouse
three new telephones will be installed,
one in the chambers of Judge B. F.
Weber, one in the Office of Judge OF
Probate S. A. George, and one in the
basement for Janitor Henry RoWles.
Later on it is expected that similar
switches will be ordered by other large
establishments, such as the mills, the
August Schell Brewing company, etc
The advantage of this switch is thai
it gives a building or company {
greater number of telephones at {
much reduced cost. Six instruments
with the switch would cost far less
then six telephones under the present
arrangement, and it is far more con
venient then the party wire.

The latter arose when the case was

tory to Judge Cray and General Childs

a sensational telegram from Chi

has created no little interest and con-
siderable comment.

DIR. Louis A. Gebhardt will be found

Editor streeter Of the Emmons
County Record seems to wonder that
the Grand Forks Herald in as much
as it has blamed him for introducing
the new libel law, does not give him
credit for the good things he did in
the legislature. Admitting that the
Herald does not consider the libel
law good, Mr.. streeter, however
should know that in this life the
good actions are frequently over
looked because they are the ones sup
posed to come naturally from man
and the evil things those unusual
and which attract attention We feal
that so far as: the Herald is concerned
it will be SO busy for the coming sea

ciate his good work, IL the Herald

Concerning the item from the
Grand Forks Herald, appearing in the
Tribune few days since, regarding
the extension of the 500 road north
from Underwood, a responsible resi-
dent Of this city states on the best
authority that not only will the ex-
tension be made during the coming
summer, but contracts for the work
have already been bet, and work on
the extension will be begun within
a few weeks. The contract is for
twenty-four miles northwesterly from
Underwood reaching point on the
Missouri river some twelve miles
northwest from Coal Harbor. The
contract, is however, contingent on
obtaining right OF way, which it is
believed the residents of that section
will give for nominal consideration.
This will open up for development
some of the finest country on the
Missouri Slope, famous for its album.
dant yields.of No. hard wheat. The
land lays nearly level, and besides
being very fertile. lying as 1t does at
the bend of the Missouri river. where
its course turns to the southwark. 1t
lies in the rain belt caused by the
evaporation Of the waters Of that IA.
nous stream. in Its course down from
the Rocky mountains, the precipita-
ton OF which causes vegetation Of all
kinds to thrive most luxurfantly.
And the development Of this new ter
rftory will add much to the already
advancing thrift Of Bismarck, in that
1t will add to the demand Of those
commodities for which this is the
natural and central market.
