Dance Halls.
In view Of the agitation that is
stirring New Ulm at the present time,
the following from an Edinburgh
paper relative to the management OF
public dancing halls may not be with.
out interest:
''Most of the girls who attend these
dances are working girls who have a
perfectly natural craving forsome sort
of relaxation and diversion at the end
of a weeks toll, and it is quite to be
expected that in order to indulge in
the luxury of an occasional hop
they will submit with as good a grace
as they can to the society of those
whom they would otherwise shun.
ga little consideration of the matter
in all its various bearings will serve
to show plainly the course which
ought to be adopted. Accommodates
should be provided by the admins
trative bodies of the city for all who
desire to take part in public dances,
and the halls should be equipped with
the best and most modern sanitary
and hygienic appliances, and placed
under the control of a responsible
caretaker. They should be open
during certain hours each evening,
and the payment of a small entrance
fee would cover all expenses.
"When provision is made for the
| recreation of it staid, middle aged
citizens, surely is not too much to ex.
pect that the requirements of the
young should also receive fair con.
sideration. If proper dancing halls
under adequate supervision were pro-
vided, there is no doubt but that q
great deal of the evils which at present
exist, not only in connection with
dance halls, but also on our public
thorouhfares, would be lessened, if
not wholly eradicated.
'sIt is infinitely more important that
we should protect as far as possible
the chastity of the mothers of our
future generation of toilers, than that
we should provide golf links, bowling
greens and the like for those who
have attained the period of moral
or ! hui, \
passions are under intellectual con-

The annual ball which is always
such a pleasant feature of the New
Years celebration at Turner Hall
will this year. as it was last, be in
charge of the members of the local
Fire Department. This insures a
large attendance and also gives
promise of life and gaiety in abund-
ance. Already something like $50
tickets have been sold.
What will the public think of the
story about the actress at a burlesque
theater in Kansas City, who, when
smoke was seen arising from the roof,
besought the fremen to save her trunk,
containing $500 worth of gowns. If
any burlesque actress in Kansas City
is that we'll fixed for clothes why does
she not wear them?- ?-Kansas City Star.
President j. J. Hill of the Great
Northern railroad system, who has
immense schemes for the development
of transportation in the whole north
western region of North America, says
OF river Improvement: In view of the
inability of railroads to move heavier
classes of tonnage in the entire coun-
