Whole Village.

Saturday morning fire broke out in

the large number of people who hap
pened to be at hand the fire was kept
within bounds and the only damage
done was to the property of Mr.. Fred
erickson.
The coal sheds, quite pile Of wood,
his sorghum mill and all his tools
were destroyed. He estimates his loss
at $4,000 and had no insurance on the
property whatever. The fire was dis
covered at about 10 o'clock in the
morning and burned fercely until the
bucket brigade which was formed i'm
mediately, had it under control
This is the first fire of any conse-
quence the village has had and there
is much sympathy expressed for the
unfortunate owner of the business
which was destroyed.

RACE CIRCUIT SECURED FOR FAIR
Arrangements Include Carnival At.
fractions.

The prospects look bright at this
time for the annual fair that is to be
held in this city in the fall, the dates
of which, though not definitely deter
mined upon will. no doubt be on the
18th, 18th, and 10Th of September and
there will be two days in which racing
will be the feature of the afternoon.
On FRIDAY evening the secretaries of
the various fair associations in this
neighborhood met at Mankato and
considered the matter Of forming a
circuit of fairs for the purpose of Sc
curing good races at the least possible
price. The association was formed
and E. r. Miller Of ST. Peter was made
secretary Of the organization It will
probably be known as the ''Short
Trip Circuit as the distances between
the fairs is not SO great but that it may
be easily driven.
The fair associations entering into
the agreement are st. Peter, New Ulm.
Mankato, ST. James, LeSueur, Made
liza, and Garden City. The first day
there is to be a PIP trot or 2:l7 pace;
2::2O trot or 2:25 pace: half-mile run
ming race and a special race. The
second day there is to be 2:35 trot or
2:4O pace, a free for all, half-mile
running race and a special. Entries
for these races will close on the Sth of
September, and lists of same will be
mailed to horsemen entering and be
used for advertising the races.
Aside from this part of the work that
the association of this county has done
it has entered into arrangements for
carnival attractions and for free exhi-
billions, and the directors and the sec
rotary are convinced that the fair this
year will eclipse anything that has
ever been attempted in the line in this
county.

MODESTY FORBIDS ACTION
Board of Equalization Would Not
Instruct Them.
Missiono of County Auditors to Capt.
tai is Fruitless.
Assessors For Coming Year Will
Follow Old Practice.

AS the law stands on the statute
books of this state the assessment OF
property must be at it's full value but
it has not been the practice Of the as
SCISSORS of the state to so list it and as
a result there has been a wide differ
ence in the ratio which has caused
more or less trouble for the board of
equalization.
Last Friday and Saturday the county
auditors Of the state met with the board
of equalization and attempted to fix
a univers al ratio for the assessments.
The auditors could not agree among
themself and SO agreed to pass the
matter up to the board Of equalization.
Some Of the auditors were in favor of
adhering to the letter of the law but
most of them were afraid of the results
that would follow. The principal OBJ
jectiOns were that it would double
valuations, and so double taxes on
all fixed levies. 1t would change
salaries and many other things regu-
lated by law according to assessed
valuations.
The state board of equalization re-
fused to be outdone in modesty by the
county auditors, and declined to make
any recommendation as to the basis
to be followed in making assessments
this year. After a long executive SEES
sion, the board announced the passage
of the following resolution:
''Resolved, That tits the unanimous
opinion of the state board of equaliza-
ton that as it is constituted by law
as board of review, it is unauthor-
lied in any way to suggest to asses

NEW ULM TEAM IS TWICE DEFEATED
Both Tracy and St. James Teams
Prove Too Strong.

The members of the basket ball team
of this city were defeated in two match
games last week, one with Tracy and
the other with ST. James, and while
the New Ulm boys played we'll and
were entitled to credit they we're evil
IDENTIFY out classed by their opponents
for they were one score short of tie
with Tracy and were badly defeated at
St. James the score being 81 to 5. But
with all that the boys had a good time
and spent it we'll. Peter Johnson of
the New Ulm high school was in charge
Of the team and acted as referee. The
line up Of the Tracy game was as fol-

sors, county auditors Or local orcounty
boards OF equalization what their ac-
tions should be in the performance of
their several duties, for the reason
that the state board will be called upon
to review the action of such assessors
and boards, and cannot consistently
take any action until after the asses
sors and minor boards have performed
their duties.''
This defeated entirely the purpose
for which the county auditors came to
St.Paul. They wanted uniform basis
of some kind agreed on, but the matter
stands just where it was. The usual
instructions will be issued to assessors,
and they will make their valuations in
the usual way, without knowing the
policy of the state board.
The auditors tried to come to an
agreement, but failed, and passed the
proposition over to the state board,
which very soon saw the dangers that
lay in a decision. To recommend as
sessment at full value would upset
things all over the state. To recon-
mend any other basis woulo, be for the
board to go on record as advising q
violation of the law. SO the board
avoided the proposition on the ground
that its meeting was not legal. After
passing it's resolution, the board joined
the county auditors in a discussion,
but nothing was developed toward a
conclusion.
County Auditor Vogel was present
and was appointed on the committee
of real estate assessments to confer
with a committee of the state board On
the same subjects.

VALUABLE POINTERS GIVEN
Travelling School of Agriculture is
Institute.
Preparations For Meeting Ar,
Planned and Ready.
Next Tuesday Will Find Many
Farmers in New Ulm.

1t is important not only for the far
mers but for the people of this city
that there should be a good represen-
tatlon OF people at the meeting of the
farmers Institute which is to be held
in the court house in this city all day
Tuesday of next week, the Goth of this
month.
One reason for this is that if there
is a failure this time it is doubtful if
the institute workers will feel justified
in making any further attempts to in
terest the people Of this vicinity in the
matter. Previous attempts have only
partially succeeded and the last time
it was the sentiment of the instructors
that there were people in the state
anxious to attend the meetings and
that they would have to pass this place
up. Through the efforts of DR.. Strick-
Ter and others the management con-
sented to stop one day here and the
party will be in the city on the Goth.
These meetings are not altogether
for the older farmers but they are
especially for the young, those who
will have the care of the farms in the
future and it is especially pleasing to
the instructors if there are present
numbers Of young people. The court
room will hold quite large audience
and it should be filled full during the
whole time.
There will be no charge and no col
lection will be taken to pay the expen-
ses. 1t is one Of the things in the age
of graft that is absolutely free to the
farmers. In order to make the at
tendance of no expense whatever to
those who have to come long distances
the merchants of the city have arranged
to give the visitors their dinner and
have contracted with the ladies of the
Turner society to furnish it in the din
ming room Of Turner hall.
Those who have had the pleasure OF
sanpling the cooking done by the la.
dies of this place know that it is as
good as can be obtained and it is the
wish of the merchants that all who
come to the institute stay to dinner sc
they will be able to attend the after
noon meetings. They are expecting
not less than five hundred at dinner
and have prepared for all.
At the close of the morning session
of the institute very valuable book,
the Institute Annual is to be presented
to all who care to take it home with
them. 1t is a book containing 35C
pages and treats of all the topics taken
up by the members of the institute.
The book is estimated by those who
have examined it to be worth at least
SIS, and some have said that if they
were unable to secure duplicate of ii
they would be willing to pay at least
S25 for it.
To all Of these meetings the ladies
are especially invited and the young
people are urged to be present. Out
Of compliment to the merchants there
should be a good attendance both at
the meetings and at the dinner,

GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN
Heroic Action of Father Gilbert
Saves Many.
Gives His Own Life in Effort to
Save Others.
Ice Gives Way and Four Skaters
Quickly Drown.

The following story while it haslittle
local application is given because of
the unusual exempli6cation of unself-
ISL devotion, in which one man laws
down his life sacrifice for t.e lives
OF many. The scene Of the tragedy is
on pond caused by the backwater of
the river near Peru, ILL.,, where a party
OF students with two projects from the
faculty of st. Bede's college were
skating when by reason of the bunch
ing OF the party for the purpose of
having photograph taken. the ice
gave way and precipitated them ali
into the water.
Inc Projects rushed to the rescue
and then began the heroic fioht with
death which resulted in saving eleven
OF the fourteen students who were
struggling in the water amidst the
broken ice, but which cost the life of
Father Gilbert, one of the bravest.
noblest heroes that ever gave his own
life to save others.
The death of Father Gilbert is a
theme before which even a master
painter OF word pictures would hest
tate, realizing the inadequacv Of the
pen to depict the scene. In his inter
forgetfulness OF self, in his perfect in
dlfference to danger, in the manner in
which he seemed to sink all other con-
slderations beneath the sense of his
responsibility for the spiritual as we'll
as the physical welfare of the bows in
MS charge he realized the highest ideal
| of the teachings of the sacred order of
Whlch ne was an ornament, and of the
highest type Of manhood.
Half kneeling, half lying on the edge
OF the cracking, parting ice HEWITT his
own hands dragged several of the boys
from the very jaws of watery grave
to life and safety and as he noted
some OF the endangered ones drifting
beyond his reach and sinking beneath
the ice water, he, without ceasing for
a moment his hand to hand struggle
with death, began administering abso-
luton, in his holy Office as a Priest.
An instant later the ice beneath him
gave way and he was plunged into the
water where he continued his struggle
to save life and also the solemn rite
OF dissolution.
After he was precipitated into the
water he is known to have saved two
boys whom he threw, by the exercise
OF his wonderful strength, out onto the
ice. Then suddenly he was seen to
relax and start to 60 down. Father
Maurice, the other Project who had
oeen making an equally heroic effort,
thought that Father Gilbert was ex-
hausted, and showed out long pole
within his reach, but he did not appear
to notice it, made no effort to GRASP it.
and went down for the last time.
An instant after Father Gilbert dis
appeared, the last of the bows who
were struggling on the surface of the
water. was dragged out by Father
maurice, and then a hasty survey of
the situation showed that three stu
dents as we'll as Father Gilbert. had
met death beneath the water.
