PLAN ATTRACTIONS FOR FAIR
Directors of Agricultural Society
Discuss Plans.
Racing to be Factor in Entertain.
ment at Next Fair.
Success of Last Year Stimulates
Officers to New Things.

Last evening the members of the
Brown County Agricultural society
held their annual meeting and dis
cussed plans for the coming season, to
some extent. It is too early to plan
for fair but it is understood that the
success which attended the effort to
make the fair a success last year will
be more than duplicated this year and
preparations will be begun earlier SO
as to have things in better shape when
the time for holding the fair shall
come around.
Chief among the topics up for dis
cussion was the question of races.
For many years and until last year
there have been no purses for races
and they have not appeared on the
programs, but the members Of the as
sociation determined to try what other
fairs have made a success at and were
surprised at the attendance and the
money contributed. The receipts were
sufficient to leave a good balance in
the treasury over the expenses, though
there were some permanent improve
ments that had to be carried over.
1t is proposed to put the fair in one
of the regular circuits and SO come
under a management of races that will
assure good program. By so doing
the purses will not have to be so large
to get good horses and the manage
ment will be relieved of a vast amount
of work
The circuit as proposed at a meeting
Of the different societies in St. Paul
comprise the counties of Brown, Nicol-
let, Sibley, LIE Sueur, Watonwan and
Cottonwood, and Mr.. Crone, who was
present at the meeting is positive that
it viii be go.
There is no reason with the renewed
interest that was manifest at the last
fair, why this county should not have
county has the natural products if
they can be secured for exhibits, and
by going after these in time it is be-
lieved the agricultural exhibit alone
can be made worth going a long ways
to see.

GERS were reelected and also board

PAY TAXES and SAVE PENALTY
Penalty May be Saved Before Pub
licatiOn of List.

Real estate taxes became delinquent
on January 1st. All that were so de-
linquent or unpaid at that time were
increased by a Is per cent penalty.
On Feb. 1st the fee of Is cents per de-
scription will be added for the entry
of Judgment by clerk of court and soon
after a second Is cents per description,
printers fee will be added.
After the sale which will occur a
couple of months later the taxes will
at once draw interest at the rate of
about II per cent. It is therefore i'm
portant that all land owners should
settle unpaid taxes at once. It is far
cheaper to borrow the money than to
let it run with the added danger of un-
told trouble through tax titles.

this city is concerned it will continue
as it has in the past and the change
will not be noticed in the affairs as
they affect the interests of the users of

In time the Offices of the Minnesota

the auditing Office will be changed, the

probably invest part OF his money in

It's his intention, however. after he
has placed some of the money where it
cannot get away and where twill bring
him in an income, to go to the Pacific

.BERkNER OLLECTS TROUBLE
Pays Himself Out of Another
Mans Register.
Seven Silver Half Dollars Cause
His Arrest.
seifert Has Opinions as to How
Bills Are Paid.

Sleepy Eye had nsation last week
that has been the chief comment of all
the people of the city and has even
overfowed to this place where it was
expected that the county attorney
would take part in the proceeding that
we're being instituted against E. F.
Berkner for ''wrongfully, unlawfully
and feloniously taking, stealing and
carrying away in the day time the
aforesaid seven silver half dollars, y
which were the property of Fred Sci
fert.
The case is a peculiar one and it is
a question if it will ever be possible
for any lawyer to bring it before
jury in light that will make it appear
that Mr.. Berkner had any malicious
intent when he took the money and did
it more in the nature of Joke and not
with criminal intent.
1t appears that early in the day Sat
urday Mr.. Berkner presented bill to
Mr.. Seifert who promptly paid it and
then sometime later in the day Mr..
Berkner returned with another bill
claiming that the former did not cover
the entire amount and there was still
$3.50 due. Mr.. Seifert was busy with
a customer at the time and asked him
to wait until he had time to look the
matter up and see what the bill was
for. Mr.. Berkner, presuming on the
good nature of the proprietor Of the
store went to the cash register and
took the amount of the bill which was
seven silver half dollars, and left.
When the proprietor of the store
realized what had been done like most
human men, he concluded that wrong
had been committed and looked to the
law for redress. Complaint was made
and when Mr.. Berkner heard of the
matter he hastened to the store and
offered to make restitution but the
proprietor would not accept the money
lesson.
warrant was placed in the hands
Of the marshal and Mr.. Berkner was
cited to appear in the court of Judge
Geschwind which he did and proceed
ings were started to bind him over to
the grand jury but the case was con
tinued until the 26th when it is expec-
ted something will be done.
While there is no doubt that Mr..
Berkner overstepped his privileges
and committed crime in doing as he
did, if it can be shown that there was
no animosity on his part and that he
believed the bill to be correct and Mr..
Seifert would find it so and that he
was in no way attempting to take the
money wrongfully, it is the opinion of
attorneys here that it would be diff
cult to get a jury that would find him
guilty when the only sentence thatcould
be given him would be from one to ten
years in the penitentiary.

S0CIAL|SM'S GREAT LEADER
Eugene V. Debbs Secured For Lee
ture Here.
Will Talk on Question OF Vital Inn
pOrtance to All.
National Character Has Reputation
OF Being Eloquent.

1t was thought that there would be
cessation Of lectures in this city
after the failure of the LaFollette lee
ture, for his appearance in the city
was an expensive venture on the part
OF the management of Turner theatre.
but 1T appears that they are willing to
risk securing a house for the noted
exponent of socialism, Eugene V.
Debbs.
This noted man, who has been at the
head OF all labor reforms and agita-
tlons and has later taken up the soci-
allstic idea has been secure to deliver
his lecture to the people of this city on
Feb. %, which is Friday, evening"
While the lecture is along the lines Of
socialism and what it means, it is
nevertheless more of an appeal to
civil liberty and the rights of the un-
der man in the fight. Mr.. Debbs is
first OF all an American in the broadest
sense OF the word, and all accounts of
his appearance in this lecture are of
the most complimentary nature.
While there are many in the city
who may not agree with what he will
have to say there are few who will not
want to see and hear a man who has
attracted the notice Of the people of
two continents and is able to appear
before an audience in the best form,
using language to which it is delight
to listen.
Socialism in one form or another in
the near future is bound to contend
with the other elements of government
for recognition in this country, the
very nature Of the people and the con-
ditions which the present monopolies
are creating are certain to force the
issue, and when it is given to the peo
pie Of this city to hear the forerunner
of this movement, they will be certain
to take advantage of it.

STATE KILLS FOUR HORSES
Severe Gases of Glanders Break
Out in New Ulm.
Herman Nagel Loses Four Of Hi.
Heavy Dray Horses.
The Disease Appears to be Con.
fined 10 His Stables.

State Veterinarian v. W. Kirby
condemned four of the horses belong
ing to Herman Nagel to death Thurs
day afternoon and they were taken out
to the dumping ground and shot by
Chief of Police Klause. 1t was found
that the horses had CHAMBERS, and this
is one of the diseases for which the
animals have to suffer capital punish
ment
The horses had been sick for some
time and Thursday for some reason or
other they grew rapidly worse SO much
so that DR.. Emil Mueller who outof
the city was sent for and upon his ar
rival he pronounced them affected with
glanders and incurable.
1t is not known where the disease
, came from which the animals con-
tracted, but there is some belief that
it originated with the buggy horse
which was purchased by Mr.. Nagel
about two years ago. This horse has
not been we'll for long time and it is
believed that it either had the disease
when it was purchased or contracted
it shortly after and the others con-
tracted it from this one.
The stables and all equipment be-
/ longing to the infected animals have
been thoroughly renovated and dis
| infected and it is thought that all fear
of further contagion either to those
) horses remaining to Mr.. Nagel or to
others in the city has been prevented.
The money value of the horses shot
| is something over $500 but the returns
( from the state are but $75 a horse so
| that there is considerable financial
loss, though owners of horses are
fortunate in getting as much as that
when the state is under no obligation
J to pay for the animal it kills in that
manner.
The loss of these horses will not
! interfere with the continuance Of the
| dray business, for Mr.. Nagel has pro-
vided other animals to fill the places
of those killed and the work goes on
as if nothing has happened.
