Their Golden Wedding at
N|inOna.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press of Mon
day with a dispatch from Winona re-
cords the following:
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Sehler of this
city have just celebrated their golden
wedding. They have lived in this city
about forty-:our years, having moved
here from New Ulm, where they were
married in 1857. They went through
the Indian outbreak there in 1862
where Mr.. Schiller had charge of the
government warehouse. His life was
saved by an Indian chief, who guided
him home through the country that
was picketed with hostile Indians. In
the attack which followed, the girl
who was holding his infant daughter
was shot through the head, but the
child was not injured, They have
two children, Fred of this city, and

BREWERS MAKE AGREEMENT
Big Fellows Agree Not to Encroach
Further on Territory of
Smaller Fry.
Invasion of Smaller Towns is
Found to be Detrimental to
Business as a Whole.
Agreement Reached at a Meeting
Held in ST. Paul Last
Thursday.

1t has just come to light that there
was secret meeting of brewers in st.
Paul last Thursday at which time the
subject of the small brewer being
forced out of business by the larger
concerns received the attention of
those present.
In attendance at the meeting were
representatives of the big concerns of
St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth and
also representatives of the breweries
of Little Falls. New Ulm, Red Wing,
Mankato and Alexandria.
The result was an agreement where
by the big brewers are not to acquire
any more property nor open any more
saloons in any of the smaller com.
munities of the state and are to employ
only men of good character in the
conduct of their business in the places
where they are already entrenched.
In arguing for this agreement the
country brewers took the position that
the invasion of the smaller cities by
the large concerns had the effect OF
creating opposition to the saloon
business generally.
The competition between the local
and the invading brewers always re-
suited in raising rents, and since the
larger concerns were better able to pay
these rents the smaller brewer either
had to be willing to have his profits
decreased or give way to his invading
competitor. And when the outside
concerns had thus succeeded in usurp.
ing the business that once belonged to
local companies the citizens of the
community would naturally become
antagonistic.
The agreement, it is understood
further provides that in case any com
munity votes to rescind its 'lid' re.

prevailed prior to the time when the

During Sunday school exercises ia
one of the Nicollet churches last Sun

threatened. The fire was quickly ex-

restored before anything serious hap
pened.
Mr.. Brown, the new minister, had
just eaten his first dinner with the

HAMMOND FOR EARLY REVISION
Second District Congressman Feels
What May be Expected
of Him.

Congressman Hammond of this dis
trict is for tariff revision-not in the
misty future, but now. He says:
''The sentiment in this district is
strongly in favor of a revision Of the
tariff schedules, and with that senti-
ment am in full accord. Assuming
that there should be such revision,
there is, In my opinion, no good rea-
son for postponing the work. Those
who urge delay or fear that tariff
legislation now may effect the results
of the presidential campaign, must
consider the success of a political
party of more Importance than the
need of the country for right legisla-
ton. Those who assert lat the duties
upon specific articles cannot be lowered
or removed without complete over
hauling of the tariff are unmindful of
the fact that such changes have been
made time and again. I will gladly
support legislation looking to the re-
moval of the tariff on lumber, coal,
pulp-wood for paper makers, and on
articles SO controlled by trusts and
combin ations that there is no competi-
ton in their sale in our markets.

believe that the deepening and widen
ing of river channels in navigable
streams is advisable, and this legisla.
ton is of particular Importance to the
middle west and of great benefit if j,
were made an arm of a great system
of inland water routes.
''The McCumber bill is, in my opin.
ion, one of the simplest and best OF
the various pension laws. A some
what similar law for the widows O.
soldiers ought to be enacted. Such {
bill would receive my support. Such
legislation would reach cases where
there is now much suffering and hard

in support of all measures looking tc

Col. Allen, who at one time owned
the Merchants hotel in ST. Paul, died
last Thursday. Prior to the Indian
uprising of 1862 Allen lived on the
frontier and it is claimed that he was
one of the first to learn of the hostile
intentions of the Sioux. When he did
he started out in the direction OF St.
Paul to warn the settlers, covering a
changing horses at every ten. When
he reached the capitol he fell from his
steed exhausted, but the work that he
had done saved hundreds of Mime
sotans from massacre by the blood
thirsty Indians.

slLVERSON LIFTS THE LID
Eagle Mill Line Elevators Re-
opened in Spite of Stringency
of Money.
Bingham Bros. Follow Suit and
So, No Doubt, Will Others.
Banks Welcome the Move and
Promise Substantial Aid.

A week ago, when the Minneapolis
and St. Paul banks refused to ship
currency into the country, the big
elevator companies all over the North
west were compelled to quit buying
grain. By that we mean that they had
to close all their country houses.
Here in New Ulm the mills contin-
ued to receive whatever wheat came in
and at ali times we're ready to pay
cash for it, but out along the railroads
in western Minnesota and South Da-
kota it looked like an impossibility to
keep the elevator open as long as
there was no money in sight. SO the
Eagle Mill Co. closed down on it's
lines, and Bingham Bros. followed
suit.
Mr.. Silverson of the Eagle Mill Co.
was out of the city at the time and did
not return until Thursday.
Then things took a turn. He needed
wheat and he needed lots of it. The
Minneapolis elevator people wouldn't
give it to him on reasonable terms, so
he had but one course open to him.
That was to reopen his own houses,
and he did so on Monday. Bingham
Bros. again followed suit and the sit
nation today for the local concerns is
encouraging.
No actual currency goes out from
here, to be sure, but the people all
along the line seem willing to accept
the checks of these reputable and old
established concerns and the banks in
the various villages are rendering
every assistance possible.
Minneapolis dealers, Of course, are
not in love with the deal, and will I'M
doubtedly be forced to fall into line,
but whether they do or not, Silverson
saws he needs the wheat and is going
to have it.
The St. Paul Dispatch in discussing
the effect on the grain situation
throughout the Northwest says that
the purchase of grain is such an i'm
portant factor in the Northwest that
the banks of the Twin Cities and
Duluth have had under consideration
the issuance of cashiers checks, in
denominations OF SIS, $40 and $40, these
chase of grain. This policy has been
advocated by the Minneapolis banks
and by some of the smaller banks of
the Northwest, but as yet there has
been no general understanding that
such cashiers checks shall be issued.
General business conditions have
been little affected by the money
situation. Some of the jobbers re-
port collections rather slow, but
otherwise they say their business has
followed normal lines.
1.-The grain situation is the only
thing that at the present seems to
threaten our FUTURE" said jobber.
"If arrangements are made for pur-
chasing the grain, that will help out
considerably, but even if the grain
can be purchased, there will still re-
main the bad effect of prices having
been very materially reduced because
of the present condition of the money
market It means something to take
$40, 10000, 900 from the pockets of the
farmers through lower prices caused
by stringency in the money market,
and the business men of st. Paul will
ia time feel the effects

Clyde Chambers and Howard Winslow
for assault and battery on Ernest An

Isaac Stanley. Both warrants charge
that the victims of the alleged assault
were touched" in a rude, insolent
and angry manner"
The hazing of Andrew and Stanley
last Friday night in the dormitory at
Earlham college is the cause of this
action. Prosecutor Jessup states that
at first he thought he would have the
case investigated by the grand jury.
but when he learned Of the particu-
lars he decided that it was not ser
ious enough for such action When
the Earlham authorities insisted that
some action be taken in the matter,
the prosecutor told them to place the
matter in the hands of the police.

Earlham authorities in causing the ar
rest OF the four hazers has caused
great excitement at the college and
when their cases are called for a hear
ing Wednesday morning in the city
court there will be large number of
students, friends of the accused, pres
cnt.
1t is alleged by the hazers and their
friends that when any of the boys
came to the city for a little outing
Andrew and Stanley imposed the duty
on themselves of spying on the actions
of the festive students. This aroused
their ire and it was decided to admin
lister summary and effective punish
sment to Stanley and Ernest Andrew.
While Stanley was being given the
rub treatment in his room at the dor
imitory some students created diver
sion i'm the basement which attracted
the attention. of Governor Andrew
During his absence in the basement
work on Stanley was concluded by the
1lazers, who then turned their atten-
fion to Ernest Andrew.
At police headquarters Governor An
kIrew was asked if any of the students
implicated in the hazing would be sus-
Epended or expelled. Il have nothing
to say" he replied.
