THE WOMEN OF WEleERG.

At the foot of the hill Weiberg, on
along the bank of the Neckar, were
gathered a long time ago two armies,
and here battle was fought between
the two great Germans, konrad ana
Welt.
Very fierce was the fighting, but at
last victory fell to Konrad, and news
was sent 70 the ancient castle on the
high hill above the battlefield, that it
must surrender at once.
A great company had assembled in
the castle. There were soldiers guard
ing the fortress. and many men from
the surrounding country who had tax
en- refuge here with their wives and
little children. Now with the message
from Konrad demanding surrender,
was also sent a very kind offer. He
said that although the men in the
fortress were all to be taken prison
ers, the women were to go away IN
peace. and that each one would be
allowed to carry on her back the
treasure she most highly priced.
Konrad's mighty army drew up in
| line. leaving passage for the women
from the walled citadel. and at the
head of the first column was konrad
j himself. who, glancing toward the
castle. suddenly saw the gates thrown
I open, and a strange looking procession
start down the hill.
The whole army now turned to look
and truly it was marvellous process
sion. for when it came nearer Ions
line of women was seen, and each
one carried a man on her back. Hei
husband. her father. her son, brother
or friend. each had taken konrad a
his word and had brought her dearest
treasure away on her back.
Some of the men in konrad's army
were very angry, and considered tha
an unfair advantage had been take1
of their chiefs generosity. but kon
rad admired the spirit and good feel
ing of the women of his country, ant
not only gave the men their liberty
but allowed the women to go back anC
fetch what wealth they had left be
hind.
The hill was ever afterward Gale,

and in 1920 Charlotte, Queen of Wur

built an asylum there for the poor VIC
men who had been known to perform

RENyILLE 49, REDWOOD 6.

The Redwood Falls high school foot
ball team drove through the mud and
against cold northwest wind, last
Saturday, to give battle to the Rem
vile team.
The game resulted in score of Is to
in favor of Renville, but this does
not represent the real strength of the
teams. Renville had played three
good games before this one, while Red
wood had only experienced an easy
game with Morton.
Both sides were strong on offensive
play, but weak on defensive. Neither
team was held for downs and only one
punt was made during the game.
Redwood's line was the stronger, but
Renville was able to make good gains
on end runs. RenriIle's bevy Of CIR

Mother Of Iulias and Abat Melges
RsasseM Away In New Ulm.

A telegram was received by JUL
ius- HI. aad Albert A. Melges about
3o'clock last Thursday afternoon
stating that their mother, Mrs. Lee
ma Mise Melges, had passed away
alb her. home In New Uim at 1890
o'clock that foreaoon. Julius and
Albert, tegether with their wives,
left on the afternoon train for that
city.
Mrs. MelgeS died OF asthma, ter
minating in weakness of the heart.
She was 81 years old and had been
afflicted with asthma for several
years. At the time of the death of
her husband, sbe late frederick G..
Melges, in April last, she was con-
fined DO her bed as result of this
trouble, but she recovered sufk
|ciently to enjoy moderately good
health through July and August.
Her last more or less severe illness
was of about six weeks duration.
Mrs. Melges was born in Lippe
Dettmold, Germany, where she was
| married in 1865 to Frederick g..
Melges, and Immediately after the
marriage ceremony the couple came
to America, settling in New Jim a
few months later, where they con-
tinued to reside until they were
called to join the countless throngs
which have gone before them. Mrs.
Melges was dutiful wife, az indul
gent mother, and woman of many
| excellent traits of character, which
endeared. her to her family and hel
many friends.
i Five sons and two daughters re
main as immediate mourners. Tn,
daughters are Mrs. Fred. Schmid

Father Of Mrs. Frank R. Lobdeil lust
Returned From Germany.

Adolp Lille and wife of Mankato,
father and mother of Mcs. Frank r.
Lobdell of this city, just returned
from trip to Germany, and in al
interview with Mankato Free
Press reporter Mr.. Lille said that
fifteen years have worked wonder
full changes in the fatherland. Con-
ditions are more favorable there for
she man of limited means, and the
people have made wonderful ad-
vancement along all lines. The
country is in prosperous state and
manufacturing industries are -four
ishing. The people are in more
contented frame of mind, although
the middle class is clamoring for
reduction of tariff rates. In fact,
the tariff question is discussed there
more than all others. In America
the people are battling against
trusts of all descriptions. In Ger
many they are waging a war on the
land owners trust which controls
the food products and holds them at
prices that are really prohibitive.
The laboring classes are forced to
90 without meat and other articles
of food, being absolutely unable to
meet the prices at which they are
held. That is the reason why the
people of that country are so anxious
for reduction in the tariff rates on
beef. The prices OF clothing and
dress goods are reasonable. In
many cases the figures are lower
than those which prevail on the
same class and quality of goods ii
this country.
Mr.. Lille comes back firm be

TO the time when railway coaches
there will be constructed after the
pattern of those used on American |
railways. Passes are something |
few and far between in Germany.
Every body that travels pays fare
and the government loses nothing.
ssGraft" is unknown in that coun-
try. The laws are strict and more
rigidly enforced than in this land
Of the free. There is always al
heavy travel on the railroads. The
trains are made up of more coaches
than those which run to and fro in
this country. This is due to the
fact that the foreign cars are not so
heavily built as those in America.
The trains as rule make better
time and they are rarely delayed.
One minute off the schedule time
will cause a storm of complaint
among travellers. But there are
disagreeable features connected
with travelling in Germany. Que.
must rely upon his own wits almost
in getting about. There are no
walking bureaus of information.
Train men do not mingle with the
passengers as they do on American
trains. Conductors have their own
compartments and remain in them
during the run between stations.
| There are no s'newsieS" to aggra-
yate the traveller. The roadbeds
are better and more solidly con-
structed than those in this country.
! Strange as it may seem laborers
are scarce in Germany Most OF
the common labor is performed by
the Italians, Austrians and Poland
ers who have invaded the country.
The Germans have taken more
largely to the trades, many of them
seeking employment in the factories

MERELY
MENTIONED.


Persons having business with the iCoun-
ty Clerks Office will be glad TO know
that Edward Gritten, the popular ard
efficient Deputy County Clerk, is to be
retained by County Clerk Rotterdam.
Mr.. Gritten's name was on the LIST of ap-
pointments submitted yesterday to the
Board of Freeholders by Mr. Rother-
ham. It is understood that ae is to be
continued in his present position during
Mr.. RotherhanFs incumbency. Clerks
Palladen, Sharkey Wall and Landwehr
were also named for reappointment, but
the impression prevails that their tenure
Of office is uncertain. There was talk
at the Court House that these appoints
ments are only temporary and that their
successors would be appointed at the
next meeting of the Board of Freehold
ers Except to approve the salaries fixed
by the County Clerk the Board Of Free
holders has no control over the appoint
ments.
