ADD SAFETY DEVICE TO THEATRE
Fire Escapes and Asbestos Curtain
Provided.

While the people who have been in
the habit of attending Turner Theatre
have at no time felt that there was any
danger or fear from fire still there
have been times when the hall was SO
filled with people that if an alarm of
fire had been sounded it would have
been difficult for them all to have got
out of the building without serious de-
lay and fatal injury. To prevent this
and to comply fully with the law the
management of the theatre has order
ed frescapes placed at the openings
left for them when the building was
erected.
The contract was given last week to
Chas. Leonhardt of this city and they
will be placed Immediately. Besides
| this the theatre is to be further pro-
tected with an asbestos curtain and
when all these improvements are made
the house will be completed as is re-
CURED by law and the audiences may
feel as safe as they would in any of the
play houses in the country.
In this connection it may not be out
of place to say that this large an6
modern play house is not appreciated
as it should be in this city. 1t is safe
to say that no other city in the state
of more than twice the size of this i:
as we'll provided with place of thi:
kind as is New Ulm and still from on
end of the year to the other the plac
barely pays expenses. 1t should b.
different.

PLAY DEVELOPERS MUCH TALENT
Amateurs Give CreditabIe Perform.
anCe on Local Stage.

Schmerle's Geheimniss was played
by the Dramatic Section Of the Turn
verein to a very good audience Sun
day evening. The play is by Rudolph
Kneisel and is Of a very high order of
comedy, clean. bright full of ridicul-
Gus situations that are, however, still
possible and very skillfully brought
about. There is plenty to laugh at and
little or no horse play. 1t is the class
of comedy that is gradually coming
into vogue in the best theatres in
England as we'll as in this country.
The presentation by the Dramatic
Section was of especial merit. The en-
semble playing was such as one would
expect only from professionals. The
climaxes in fact the entire perform
ances moving along with snap and
spirit. The staging, also was fine and
in the second setting, where an oppor-
tunity was presented to display their
ability, the stage managers did them
selves proud. ..a
| The parts were all we'll taken. The
role of Schmerle, the jovial gentleman
try ing to save his reputation as con-
scientious official, gave RobertScherer
an excellent opportunity to display his
ability in the comedy line and he made
good use of it..

INSURANCE PROXIES WAN TED
Movement to Collect Proxies is
Started Here.
n. Henninssen Would Assist in
Insurance Reform.
Statement Made by Lawson Shows
Condition is Bad.

There are d number of policy holders
of the Mutual Insurance Co. of New
York and the New York Life in this
city who will no doubt be interested in
the movement that has been set on foot
to control. the election of d new board
Of directors for the companies at the
coming election.
AS these companies are mutual every
policy holder has a vote as to who
shall be at the head of the manage
ment. So far since the beginning of
the companies the management has
been in the control of the same factions
and the result has been that some of
them have become immensely rich
To determine whether or not this
wealth was obtained in legitimate
manner there is now in process an in
vestigatiOn that has revealed some
very damaging things, the like of which
in the smaller business affairs of life
would send the perpetrators to the
penitentiary. At the head of this in
veStigatiOn and instrumental in bring
ing it about is the renowned Thomas
Lawson.
He has made an appeal to the people
of the United States who are policy
holders, to allow him to use their
proxies in bringing about a change in
the management of the companies and
For this purpose he has created a
board of management composed of the
governors of a number of the states
and some other reputable and indie
pendent men, among them being GOV.
Johnson of this state.
Theseproxies he has asked forshould
be made out to him or to one of these
men so that the voting shall be all for
such reputable men as he and his COM
mittee shall select.
TO further the interest in this matter
Mr. Henningsen of this city has taken
hold Of the work and will take care of
any proxies that are given to him.
He says that he has implicit confidence
in the disinterested purpose Of Mr..
Lawson and is willing to do all he can
to helm him in the matter of refOrma-
ton that he is attempting.
To make it easy for those who so
desire the Review has attached form
OF proxy which may be cut out of the
paper and filed in by the holder of a
policy, and given to Mr.. Henningsen
who will see that it gets into the hands
of the proper parties. Mr.. Lawson in

his appeal to the people has the follow

his appeal to the people has the follow
ing to say:
Unless something is done, and done
at once, by the policy-holders, each and
everyone Of the largest companies may
become insolvent: that is, they may
not be able to meet the engagements OF
their policies, because of waste of
funds, tremendous falling off OF new
business, tremendous cost ofnew bust
ness, and the nature of the new bust
ness-so called graveyard business:
for 1 am credibly informed that they
are now seeking to insure those who
formerly have been refused insurance
because of physical infirmities.
1t should also be plainly evident
that, if the policy-holders move, and
move quickly, they can be absolutely
assured that:
LIST. The funds as they are to-day
will remain intact.
I'd. They will be added to by the
restitution of from S75,0O0,O00 to
$3.50, 100000.
Sd. A score of the thieves who have
plundered policy holders in the past
will be sent to prison.
4th. The future payments ofpolicy-
holders will be largely cut down.
9Th. The present swollen SURPRISES
will be returned in large part to policy
holders.
9Th. In the future policy holders
will actually run the company.
It'll. AL policy-holders can be as
sured that in the future they will re-
ceive the actual worth of their policy
at surrender.
In accepting the proxies asked for,
Mr.. Lawson makes the following agree
ment:
|. 1t will only be voted for set
of men who shall be nominated as
trustees by committee to be selected;
said committee to consist of represen-
tative governors of different states,
representative labor leaders, and
representative clergymen. That when
this committee has selected the men in
its opinion best fitted to serve as
trustees, and they have accepted, their
names shall be announced to the policy
holders.
2. Said Lawson, in accepting this
proxy, agrees he will not use same
until ten days after he has announced
to said po]icy-holders the names OF
the trustees selected, and so given
said policy-holders opportunity of re-
voking same.
3. Said Lawson agrees that, in &C
cepting said proxy, he will not use
same to elect anyone a director of the
Mutual Life Insurance Company. the
New York Life Insurance Company,
or any other insurance company who
will not first agree to do all in his
power after he is elected to exact full
restitution of all moneys tilched from
these corporations, and enforce pun
ishment of officers, directors, agents
or other employees who have been il
any way guilty OF wrongdoing.

ARBITRATION TREATIES AND WAR

The much discussed arbitration
treaties do not promise the abol-
ition of war. In other words, the
treaties open all causes which US
ually have led nations to take up
arms and provide arbitration for
those disputes that are usually set
tied by diplomacy because they are
not worth fighting about. The es-
sential clause in these treaties is as
follows:
Differences which may arise OF a
legal nature or relating to the inter
probation of treaties. ETC., shall be
referred to the permanent court OF
arbitration, etc., provided that they
do not effect the vital interests, the
independence or the honor of the two
contracting states.
The treaties give standard for
diplomats to rest their cases upon,
and disputes will doubtless be less
warlike at the outset. This will
ease the public temper and is a
step in advance toward peace.

Discussing the improvement
made in educational methods as
compared with the progress in other
great fields of human endeavor,
President Eliot, of Harvard Uni
versity, says: cit must be confess
sed that the schools have not chang
ed and improved so much as the
means of transportation, or Of man
ufacturing, or Of lighting or heat
ting, or of farming, or of mining.
The schools have, of course, i'm
proved; but they have not kept
pace with the industrial and social
development of the past fifty years;
not enough money has been expend-
ed for them so they are still using
obsolete plants and methods. Re-
viewing these changes in the ed
ucation, modes of appointment,
and tenure of school teachers, it is
obvious that they all tend to make
the teachers more highly trained
for their work, and more perman-
emit in service. That means, of
course, higher saleries. No change
in the condition Of the public
schools can be more important
than this"

PLENTY OF YOUNG CATTLE.
Fewer Cattle Than Usual Are Going
Into the Feed Lots.

Fewer Cattle Than Usual Are Going
Into the Feed Lots.
The food of cattle which reached all
markets recently naturally lowered the
level of prices. The very best cattle did
not suffer much, if any, because not
many finished beeves are coming to
market, but all other grades had to
sell lower. Light cattle were entirely
too numerous in the absence of good
demand for feeders.
Two things are worthy Of notice in re-
lattOn to the present movement of cat
tie The first is that range shipments
have been much lighter than usual at
this season, the bulk Of the enormous
receipts last week coming from the
farms. And the second is the ability
Of the farms to spare so many cattle
at this time and the significance Of 1t.
Does it mean that farmers who gener-
ally feed cattle have decided that corn
Is too high to turn into beef? Or is ii
that the country has at last become
fully stocked with young cattle? Prob
ably It is part of both.
There is no question that fewer cat
tie are going into the feed lots than
usual, and that has been the case for
soue time. This must be felt in the
market for fat stock as soon as grass
cattle are done and slaughterers have
to depend more largely ON the product
Of the feed lot. At the same time the
supply Of young cattle on farms is
greater than for years. Farmers have
increased their herds, and they have
raised their calves, as has been shown
by the high prices paid for veals for
several years past, even in the win
ter Of 1901-O2, when fat stuff was so
scarce there was a great plenty of
young cattle. and that is the case to.
day.
Unless damaged corn leads to great
er feeding business than is now In
prospect, we may see the experience Of
that winter repeated, though no such
extremes are probable in the market
for fat stock. But there may be plenty
Of light and thin cattle, plenty of me-
dunn class, half fat stuff and compar-
attvely few fat steers. The country
has an abundant supply Of cattle, but
will there be corresponding abun-
dance Of beef? 1t is doubtful.-Nation-
al Stockman.
