TOOK TINE TO DO HIS BEST.

The boy who is in too much of a
hurry to reach results is not willing
to take the long, uphill road leading
to them, but tries to find short cut
by using other peoples brains. An
instructor in n prominent Eastern
school tells n story of lad of another
sort, who made success by a very
different method.

enter the Junior class of the New York

him three examples for his lesson. The

them he understood, but the third-a

MussER IS UNDER INDICTMENT
Grand Jury Records Sixteen Counts
Against Tracy Banker.

W. 0. Musser, who married a New
Ulm girl and for many years conduc-
ted banking business at Tracy, was
indicted by the grand jury at Marshall
last week on sixteen different counts.
The indictments grow out of the fail
ure of the bank in which Mr.. Musser
was an officer, and in every instance
he is charged with receiving deposits
after he knew the bank to be insolvent.
His partner, G. 81. Jessup, died about
the time of the failure and while his
death was reported at the time to be
from natural causes it has since been
freely asserted by Tracy people to
have been nothing short of suicide.
Mr.. Musser's home at present is in
Kenosha, Wisconsin, and when in
formed of the indictments he volun-
tarily went to Marshall to meet the
accusations. Senator Schultz and Col.
Chase became his sureties on a s., 500
bond. .

GOOD LAWS FOR GOOD ROADS
State Good Roads AssociatiOn Sug.
gests Changes.
Four Amendments Offered For
Legislative Consideration.
One Provides for County Super.
intendent of Highways.

The State Good Roads Association
held its thirteenth annual meeting in
ST. Paul Thursday and Friday and
elected the following officers: Presi-
dent, George W. Cooley of Hennepin
county: vice-president, Ole Peterson
of Nicollet county; secretary and
treasury, B. T. Sherer of Hennepin.
Certain suggestions were also made
to the Legislature and if these sugges-
tions are enacted into law good roads
work in Minnesota will receive won
derful impetus during the next two
years.
In the first place it is proposed to do
away with the Office of county survey
Or as an elective Office and make it an
appointive position, the county sur
veyor or engineer to be selected by the
board OF county commissioners. This
is expected to remove the Office from
politics, and thus more efficient class
of men will be secured. It is also pro-
posed that the town board appoint one
superintendent of highways for each
town.
One of the most important changes
asked is that the statute labor tax be
abolished and the state require all
road taxes to be paid in money. This
system, it is believed, will prove far
more satisfactory than the present sys.
tenn and will enable the county boards
to keep the roads in better shape.
Another suggestion, if approved by
the legislature, will virtually give the
state highway commission full control
of the state road work. Upon petition
by the county commissioners the con
struction, designation and repair Of
| all state roads will be under the con.
troll of the highway commission. Thus
every county will be compelled to KEEP
its roads in good repair, and if they
fail the state will step in, fix up the
roads and then tax each county its
share of the expense.

new ULM SOLDIER WOUNDED
Sad News Received CONCERNING
Lieut.. Ralph Yates.
Wounded in Skirmish With a
Force OF Pulajanes.
Latest Reports Say His Condition
is Serious.

According to dispatch from
Manila a battle occurred on Deem
Der 9Th between force of Americans
and the native Pulajanes on the Tara
gona trail near Lapaz on the island of
Leyte.
Gen. Lee in his report of the battle
says that Capt. Fam left Lapaz with
forty-four infantry men and twenty
five constabulary on the night of Dec.
4. The constabulary were in command
of Lieut.. Ralph p. Yates.
They followed the Pulajanes' trail
quite a distance and then stopped at a
clearing to camp.
On the afternoon of the 5th Lieut..
Yates with his handful of men ad-
vanced fifty yards ahead to reconnoi-
tire. Suddenly he was attacked by the
Palajanes and before Capt. Ham could
come to the rescue FIVE of Yates men
were killed and four rifles and 400
pounds of ammunition seized by the
natives.
On the arrival of Capt. Hams troop
the Pulajanes rushed the American
soldiers and a serious engagement,
lasting half an hour, followed.
The Pulajanes we're finally driven
off after sustaining a heavy loss. At
the outset they numbered 1l5 men and
had fourteen rifles.
The American loss amounted to five
killed and nine wounded, among the
latter being 1t. Yates. At first he was
reported to have been only slightly in
jured, but later dispatches Say that his
condition is serious.
He is a son of Engineer Ralph Yates
of this city and is the second New Ulm
officer to receive wounds in the Philip
pines.
