Robert Louis Stevenson's mother wrote in one of her letters from Sa- moa: The people here are now dis covering that Louis writes, as The BottleImp Is coming out in the na- tive paper, having been translated by MT. C.. It is much appreciated, but leads to some curious results. For instance, the house in it somewhat re- sembles ours, and a good many of the natives suspect that Mir.

NO CHANGE
IN WHAT COMPLETE RETURNS
 HAVE COME IN.
s'te po Not Change Unofficial Re- suits, and Democracy is Jubi-
 lantly Triumphant.

The following statement has bean sven cut at the headquarters of the bethccrauc State Central Committee ny Chairman Rutherford:
 The reports from the election arc encouraging from almost every stand !o!Dt, so far as the Democratic marty IS concerned. The party's majority -s hoI only Increased in the State at large, but the different factions in many counties have been harmonized abd The party has been solidfied Tn ell county the Republicans elected tho county treasurer two years ago. and ttis year the Republicans had eandi. ea'es ln the field for all the offices. but the Democrats harmonized their dlrerenees and elected the entire tick tt by the oldtime majority. This il. iIstlates condition that has existed ID quite a number of counties The behocrats are in good fighting trim eii's year and the result is shown in the very splendid majority given Judge Little, our party's standard bearer. Tn Republicans have IS us. uai made an appeal to the Democrats. whom they supposed to be discontent. GU, as IS shown by the cartoon cir euiated from Republican headquarters. but their appeal has been of no avail. Tor while the Democrats are great hghters, 1t is marked characteristic that they always recognize the Repub. mean party as q common enemy and no matter what differences may exist nor what friction may be created be- lore the primary, it is always safe to calculate that the Democrats will get together and stand together in the general election.
 The Republicans have gained ab- solutely nothing in the recent contest and on the other hand, the Democrats nave strengthened themselves by set. tllng local differences. In some in. stances where independent candidates have been elected it is due to local conditions, and will correct itself by the time the next primary election is held. The vote cast last Monday shows conclusiveIy that the Repub- lican party is weaker now than in former years. and it is plain that the managers will continue in the future as m the past to keep up their or ganlzation and make d feint of a fight merely for the sake of controlling the Federal offices.
 As to the majority for the Demo cratic candidate for governor. We do not think it can go below 5 .Oo0. and t may reach G0000.

'Jno. H. Page. Secretary"
 Rev. E. A Tabor, field secretary of the lnter-church Federation, has made the following statement as to the ap- parant result of the fight against li- cense:
 The returns as they come in indi- cate a great victory for our noIicense cause. We have gained five new coun- ties sure, being Randolph, Woodruff, Lawrence, Bradley and Fulton. and the probabilities are in favor of our having won five others, being Prairie. Scott, Calhoun, Newton and Little River.
 Complete returns from few coun- ties have been received. Prairie. Cal houn, Cleveland. Newton, Perry. John son and Conway being among them. The official returns hay in no case changed the unofficial results. Mali. son county has gone Democratic by from 75 to 250 majority. At the last election in Madison county Ben Vaughan, Republican, was elected sheriff The legislature later created the separate office of collector, and J. P. Hamilton was appointd collector. Perry county offers a rather unusual situation. Giving Little 411 majority, and with Lewis Rhoton leading the ticket. the only three Democrats who had opposition were defeated by ma jorities varying all the way from 9 to 227. Oliver. the Republican candidate for sheriff, defeated Leigh by a major | ity of 227; Harp Qndependent) was elected treasurer over Bland by 156 votes Stone (independent defeated Burrow for county judge by only 25 votes.
 Of the counties from which full re turns have been received Conway gives Little 2,l00 majority, goes against amandment No. s by 500 ma jority and against whiskey by 2,500 majority.
 Cleveland county. complete gives Little S32 and Worthington 190, votes for the amendment and against license.

MULLEN RECEIVERS HIS DIAMOND
Jewel Stolen From Him at St. Peter
is Found at St. Paul.

NJ. Mullen is not, like the umpire, a
most unhappy man. On the contrary
he has every reason for congr atulat-
ing himself over his good luck.
At the Johnson ratification meeting
at ST. Peter Mr.. Mullen was one OF
those who mingled with the enthusiasts
tic throng. Because he did so he was
relieved by some clever crook of a
diamond shirt stud valued at $500, but
worth more than that to Mullen be-
cause it was gift from his wife.
Thursday he spoke of his loss to F.
W. johnson and that gentleman sug-
gested way of recovering the jewel.
He notified the chief of the St. Paul
police department, giving descrip-
ton of the stone and telling how it
had been stolen. The following We'd
nesday evening he received from ST.
Paul small registered packet con-
tanning the much desired jewel. The
stone had been taken from it's original
setting and mounted in lady's plain
gold ring. Both ring and the origi-
nal spiral setting were returned to
Mr.. Mullen.
The ST. Paul police are entitled
to no little credit for their clever work
in this case.

TRUANCY LAWS TO BE ENFORCED
Conditions at MankatO Said to be
the Worst in the State.

Rigid enforcement of the truancy
laws has been undertaken by the Man
kato board of education. with the
pledge of cooperation from the state
labor bureau and the principals of the
local Catholic and Lutheran parochi al
schools.
After recent inspection Of local
conditions the state labor commits
sioner expressed his conviction that
''for the number OF children working
and loaing on the streets without per
mits for being out Of school, Mankato
was pretty nearly the worst city on the

up with the board of education and {
definite plan Of action was adopted

POSTOFFICE SITE IS CHOSEN
New Public Building Will be Lo.
Gated on Andring Corner.
Word to That Effect Received From
Washington Monday.
Work ON the Building Will Not be
Commenced Until Spring.

What the Review predicted has come
to pass.
The government postoffice depart
ment has selected the Nick Andring
corner on Center and Broadway as
the site for the new public building.
Private advice to this effect was re-
ceived from Washington Sunday even
ing and on Monday Representative
Peterson telephoned from ST. Paul
confirming the report.
Just how much of the ground offered
has been accepted by the department
it is impossible at this time to say.
Three bids were offered by DR.. L. A.
Fritsche, representing the various
owners of the property, but the doctor
has received no official notice of the
governments selection. The bids were
as follows:
One plot, 12O by 100 feet, 1890; one
plot, 100 by l65 feet, 1900; one, 125 by
165, S., 900. The latter is little larger
than the department calls for but as
the bid is within the required limits of
the appropriation it is to be hoped
that this is the one decided upon.

OFFICES THRUST UPON HIM
A. ]. Eckstein Compelled to Resign
One Office to Accept Another.
He is Made President of the State

This Means that the Next Meeting
Will be Hummer.

When Andrew j. Eckstein went to

section. That body reelected him.
When the State Conference as a
whole came to elect a president they
couldn't think Of anyone better fitted
for the responsible position than this
same Eckstein, and accordingly he
was unanimously chosen.
Then it became necessary for a
change all around. Eckstein resigned

missioners' section and accepted the
presidency of the conference, A. O.
Cowles of Mantorville being elected
to fill the place which he had vacated
The compliment paid to our fellow

serves it. Moreover he will bring to
the position an amount Of energy,
coupled with an intense interest in the
work, that is bound to result in
making next years conference at
Fergus Falls the most successful in
the history of the organization.

SALOON REGULATIONS ARE STRICT
Supreme Court Prescribes the Limi.
tatiOns of the lid"

The Supreme Court of this state has
Just decided that the sale Of liquor to
minors is criminal, whether any notice
of the minority is given the saloon
keeper or not.
They also hold that the sale Of liquor
after eleven O'Clock at night, Or on
election day, or on Sunday, or to a
minor, or any pupil of any school, Or
any intoxicated person or any habitual
drunkard, is equivalent to sale with
out license. 1t is punishable by fine
of not less than So and costs and i'm
prisonment in the county jail for not
less than thirty days.
1t viii therefore be seen that the
penalty in any of these matters is very
severe, and provides for jail sentence
in addition to fine. This decision
practically puts the lid on the whole
state. Justice courts are deprived of
Jurisdiction in such cases. except for
holding the offender to await indict-
ment by the grand jury.

thing to interfere with his loyalty to
principle. This same steadfastness Of
purpose. it was. that made him such
valuable JORGE in the Turner organiza-
ton to which he belonged and to which
he devoted so much Of his energies.
That society will feel more keenly than
can the public or the individual the
loss which his death entails.
Mr.. Petry was born in New Ulm on
the 18th OF September. 1868. After at
tending school here he went to Still
water. in 1888, to do editorial work on
a German paper. Four years later
found him doing similar work in
jamestown. North Dakota, and in 1898
he returned to New Ulm to accept a
position on the Post. Ten years ago
he and his brother, Armand, became
the sole proprietors Of that well-known
German weekly and as such they con-
tinued until the papers consolidation
about year ago with the Review.
During all of the time since his re-
turn to New Ulm he has held the posi-
ton of turnwart in the Turnyerein and
on several occasions, three at least. he
has accompanied classes to the national
| turnfests. His interest in athletic
work seemed unfailing. The Turner
Hall was to him a second home,

tribute will be paid to his memory.

THE NORTHWESTERN IS GENEROUS
Voluntarily Raises Payoflts Agents
and Operators.

The Northwestern railroad company
has voluntarily granted station agents
and the operators on their entire
system an increase in wages. Eleven
hundred agents and approximately
five hundred telegraphers will come in
for a share in the advance. The aver
age increase in wages will be about S.
a month.
The credit for the raise in wages is
largely due to the untiring efforts of
the Order of Railroad Telegraphers,
an organization which. though young
in years. is doing exactly the same
work for its members as the Brother
hoed of Railroad Trainmeu has
already accomplished for its men.
The raise is general throughout the
country, almost every road in the
United States having complied with
the schedule which was adopted by the
order some time ago.
The telegraphers and station agents
occupy positions of responsibility anG
trust and the raise is Justly due them
However,. this is not the first time
that the Northwestern has given then
raise.

CITY'S NAME ON POSTAGE STAMPS
Next Years Issue to Bear Name of
Issuing Office.

Postage stamps OF the issue of 1907,
put on sale at the 5000 presidsntial
postoffices. which include4sNeR Ulm,
will bear on their face th naaqe OF the
state and city in whichHFhe pdstof1ice
is situated.
The chief reason for this innovation
is said, at the postohhce department,
to be the belief that it will help to do
away with the big postoffice robberies
and make it much easier to trace
criminals.
The postoffice robbery in Chicago. a
few years ago, is good example OF
the ease with which stolen stamps can
be disposed of, for no trace of the per-
petrators was ever discovered, al
though nearly 800, 900 worth of stamps
were stolen. and these mostly of small
denominations.
Another reason for the change is to
enable the postohice department to de
termine the amount of business done
by the different postoffces and prevent
padding. through stamps sold at some
Offices to residents who do business in
adjoining cities.
