NEW ULM IS SHUT OUT.
Militia Will Not Go Into Camp Their.
This Year,

General BObleter has been informed
that it will be impossible for the mill
tia of the state to meet in New Ulm
instead of at Lake City.
There was plan on foot to have all
the regiments camp in New Ulm at one
time instead of going singly to Lake
City. 1t was the ambition of General
Bobleter and the colonels of the various
regiments to have brigade drill this
year instead of the usual regimental
drills, and, as the grounds at Lake City
are not extensive enough for the move-
ments of so many men, the project to
bring them to New Ulm was arranged
and the consent of all the officers OBJ
tained. But citizens of Lake City look
ed the matter up and the attention of
the authorities was called to the fact.
that the law provides otherwise. The
matter then had to be dropped
1t is now expected the militia will go
into camp in the usual manner this year,
and if there is brigade encampment
arrangements will have to be made for
it at some future time. e.rF,

PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.
Its Shortcomings Discussed by Social
Science Club

The Social club held well attended
meeting last night, and listened to pa
per on ''Wherein Our Public, Schools Fall
Short" He criticized the school system
of the country as it is today rather
severely, and offered suggestions as to
where it might be bettered. Among
other things, he thought that the school
system should be free only where educa-
tion is compulsory, that is through the
grades. He thought that it would be
better for the pupils if they had to pay
tuition in the high and other upper
schools, for in this way they would
not come to expect to get something
for nothing through life and indulge
in graft.
W. d. Willard led the discussion, and
differed i'll some respects from the prev
ious speaker. He thought that the pres
ent system is all right, but that it needs
some improvements. The discussion
that followed brought out number of
suggestions, the majority of the speak
ers thinking that common school edu-
cation should be made more practical
than it is at present. Manual training
was commended, as far as the elemen-
tary teaching of the subject goes. 1t
was the general opinion that while the
present school system has its drawbacks
it is getting better all of the time.
The annual election of officers was
held, and c. n. Andrews was elected

wood, Iowa, came to Sa. Peter yesterday
to follow up clue she obtained some
weeks ago, and the story she tells is a
most romantic one. She accounts for
the similarity in the names of herself
and her sister by stating that they We're
Christened in accordance with an old
Norwegian custom, which provides that
the two eldest girls in each family shall
be named Anna.
Anna Seielstad, the elder, came to
this country in advance to her family
in 1876. For about year she lived at
Albert Lea with an uncle and then went
to Austin. For several months she cor
responded regularly with her relatives,
but her letters finally ceased and all
trace of her was lost.
Two years later her parents and the
other members of her family came to
the United States. Unaccustomed to the
ways of the country; and in their strange
surroundings, they had no knowledge of
the methods to pursue to begin syste-
matte search, and contented themselves
with making casual inquiries.
In this way they traced the missing
girl to points in northern Iowa and Wis.,
consin. Then they learned that she had
lived in North Dakota and later at Foss-
ton, Minn- Information obtained at the
latter place convinced Miss Seielstad
that the woman had gone to Minneapo.

state hospital, and this led to the trip to

When Miss Seielstad visited the
institution she readily identified
the patient and says steps will be TAX
