KROOK'S TERM EXPIRED.
Postmaster at New UIm May Be
Changed, Big Stick AIoft.
Got &c. DILL,

Postmaster L. B. Krook has reached
the fourth anniversary of his install
latiOn as postmaster of New Ulm, or
in other words has served in this ca
pacity one term, says The New UIm
Journal. John H. Weddendorf was sup
erceeded by Mr.. Krook four years ago
and Gottlieb Schmidt took up the du-
ties of first and second clerks upon that
day. There has been some conjecture
concerning the reappointment of the
present postmaster, and. it is limited in
certain quarters that Rep. S. d. Peter
sons inclinations are in that direction.
Mr. Peterson has been identified with
politics in this county for thirty years
and it has been stated by some, who
were on the inside that he desired to
supplant Mr.. Krook in the New Ulm
postoffice. There is every reason for
this desire. The postmaster holds the
office for four years and Mr.. Peterson's
state-house job only comes in two-year
parcels, with the possibility of the par
eel not landing.
Several months are. generally requir
ed for a postmaster's commission to be
renewed aud there are those who hint
the New Ulm postoffice will not be sup
piled with a postmaster for the new
term until after the fall elections, as IS
the way with all appointive offices. Me-
Cleary, it is taken for granted, desires
to have the ''big stick" overhanging all
loop holes during the campaign, as it
will be one in which he will require all
the support he can secure, to down the
opposition sentiment.

BURNED LIKE TRAPPED RATS.
Chinatown in San Francisco Swept
Clean BY the Fire.

Los Angeles, April 2l.-'The strang-
est scene in San Francisco is where
Chinatown STOOD says w. w. Overton,
who arrived here today. "No heap of
smoking ruins marks the site of the
wooden warrens where the slant eyed
men dwelt in thousands. The place is
pitted with deep holes and scared with
dark passageways from whose depths
come smoke wreaths All the wood has
gone and the winds are streaking the
ashes.
"Men, white men, never knew the
depth of Chinatown's underground city.
They often talked of these subterranean
runways and many had gone beneath
the street levels two and three stories.
But now that Chinatown has been UNI
masked, for the destroyed buildings
We're. only a mask, men from the hillside
have looked on where it's inner secrets
lay. In places they can see passages
100 feet deep.
''The fire swept this Mongolian section
clean. 1t ate down to the bare ground
and this lies stark. for the breezes have
scattered the light ashes. Joss houses
and mission schools, grocery stores and
opium dens, gambling bells and thea
tres, all went. The buildings blazed up
like tissue paper lanterns when the gut
tering candles touch their sides. From
this place, l, following the fire, saw
hundreds OF fright -crazed yellow men
flee. In their arms they bore their OPP
ium pipes, their money bags, their silks
and their children. Besides them ran
the baggy -trousered women. and some of
them hobbled painfully.
'These were the men and women of
the surface. Far beneath the street
levels in those cellars and passageways
were other lives. Women who never
saw the day from their darkened prisons
and blinking jaiIers were caught like
rats in a huge trap Their very bones
were eaten by the flames.
"And now there remain only the holes.
They pit the hillside like multitude of
ground swallow nests. They show depths
which the police never knew. The Sc
crets of those burrows will never be
known. for into them the hungry fire
first sifted its red Goals and then licked
eagerly into tongues of creeping flames
finally obliterating everything except
the earth ITSELF

DIED OF HEART DISEASE.
Frank Walton of kentucky Passes
Away Suddenly in Rochester.

At about 1920 o'clock yesterday af
ternoon, Frank Walton, wealthy to-
bacco grower of Allensville, Kentucky,
dropped dead at the Cook House in
Rochester. He had started to walk
across the floor of the office when the
attack seized him, and he fell back dead.
Mr.. Walton came to Rochester some
three weeks ago, in company with his
wife. who was in need of treatment at
st. Mary's hospital. The deceased made
a number of friends about the hotel, and
they state that he had been apparently
in the best of health, but it is evident
that he was the victim of some organic
heart trouble. Without warning, the
fatal disease wrought its dread work,
and Mr.. Walton passed quietly away.
He was about forty-six years of age.
Warren Walton, son of the dead
man, has been telegraphed, and he will
probably wire what disposition to make
of the remains.

in securing countless signatures from
people, especially in country districts
for OF against the measure. But the
letters received from persons opposed to
the free distribution of seeds are not
of this class. They come from individ-
uals and are evidently spontaneous. One
of these was received by Chairman
Wadsworth from one of the most prom
inent farmers in his district and it reads
as follows
Through your courtesy | am once
more III receipt of a packet of seeds
from our Uncle Samuels garden. Might
| ask you to see the dear old gentleman
and tell him that while approaching his
great kindness, | think he had better
go out of this seed distributing business
and use the money it costs in some 9TH
er way. | hope your honorable body,
by refusing to make an appropriation,
will do away with the miserable practice
of giving away seeds at the public ex
pense. Be assured that you will have
the hearty approval of all sensible citi-
zens"
This is only a sample. Hundreds of
similar epistles have been received by
members from every section of the coun-
try and they come by every mail. And
so far as can be learned. at this time
not single protest, not single plea
for the continuance of the free seed
graft has been received ~
The majority of the committee on ag-
riculture, the secretary of agriculture,
the chief of the bureau of plant indus
try and the president himself opposes
the continuance of this wasteful and
useless expenditure of public money.
Next week it will be known whether the
house will stand by the committee on
agriculture or not.
