Guiding the big baird tournament At
this tournament it is expected to have
at least a dozen outside bands COM
pete as well as the local organization.
To design some plan for arches, etc,

Streets to be Decorated.
To see that the town arrays itself
hefittngly for such an occasion as
this will be, Scott Henderson, William
Gibson and r. E. Allen, We're APP
pointed as a committee whose object
is to get every merchant in town to
decorate his store. To further this,
three prizes. of $25. SIS and $40 are
stores. The names of the merchants
who are up to date and progressive
enough to decorate will be published
from day to day in the newspapers 1t
is the opinion of the club that it is
just as much for the benefit of the
merchants individually to decorate
their stores as it is for the club. Hence
every effort will be made to get the
city decorated and every pound of
pressure will be brought to bear to
get it we'll decorated
The last business which came be-
fore the committee was the sugges-
ton that an ode be written, set to
some popular air which everyone
knows and to have it become the slo-
gan of the carnival. 1t would be pub
lished in the papers and people would
learn it before they reached the city.
Not Only would it add to the interest
of the occasion but it would bring out
some good advertising for the city.
Everybody Will Sing.
Following this suggestion Secretary
Moore calls for contributions from
those POLITICALLY inclined, for this ode.
A short verse, full of ginger. swing
and rhythm is what is desired. This
is to be sung to some we'll known pop
ular aid and include the name of the
Carnival, the city and the club. All
who have inspirations are asked to
send them to Secretary Moore at once

MINISTERS BY THE SCORE
Congregationalists Opened a Three
Days Meeting in this
City Yesterday.
Something Like Two Hundred
Delegates are Reported as
Being in Attendance.
Rev. Burton Preached the Annual
Sermon Last Evening.

The ffty-seeond annual meeting of
the General Congregational associa-
ton of Minnesota was opened at the
Congregational church in this city
yesterday afternoon.
The local reception committee had
prepared for the entertainment of two
hundred guests and it is thought that
by this afternoon that many will be
present. Among the more prominent
visiting preachers are the following:
Revs. Sam Smith, Campbell, Evans
and McGregor of st. Paul, Hallock,
Clark, Holmes, Burton, Merrill and
Herrick of Minneapolis and Milne of
Duluth. These men all represent very
large congregations and are inhuen-
tial factors in the communities in
which they live.
The sessions which will include a
public meeting at the Turner Theatre
this evening, will have to do mainly
with doctrinal discussions, and, judg-
ing from the program, will bring forth
some very able papers on great
variety of topics.
Yesterday afternoon Rev. Lesher
of Owatonna read a strong paper on
THE Place of the Church in Modern
Society especially with reference to
so-called high society, and Superinten-
dent Palmer of the Anti-Sa loon League
told of the work that had been done
by his organization during the year
just ended.
In the evening Rev. Burton of Min
neapolfs preached an interesting
sermon on s'The Fellowship of God. y
Today's program will be as outlined
in the Review two weeks ago.

Minnesota River Improvement Adj
vOcates Determine on
Course of Action.
After Conference With Cong. Da-
Wis They Decide to Ask
for Federal Aid.
Little or no Effort Will be Made to
Obtain Relief from the State.

After conference with Congress-
man Davis of ST. Peter the Minnesota
river impro vement committee has de-
cided to appeal to the federal congress
for aid in its plan to restore the river
to it's original condition as a naviga-
BILE stream. The construction of an
elaborate system of bikes will be asked
for, and in this way it is hoped to OBJ
tain relief for the lowland farmers
whose property has been inundated
and damaged by oft-recurring foods.
When the committee waited upon
Congressman Davis it was led by it's
chairman, Senator II. F. Weis of LIE
Sueur, and its secretary, Mayor P. c..
Irwin OF Belle PLANE. Other members
OF the committee who were present were
Senator Julius A. Collier of Shakopee.
Senator August Poehler of Henderson,
Senator S. D. Works of Mankato and
Senator G. A. johnson of st. Peter.
| Congressman Davis favors the feder-
al relief plan and advised his callers
to draft petition to congress asking
for an appropriation large enough to
make the river navigable. His sug.
gestion meets with the approval of the
members of the committee, but before
it is carried out a meeting will be held

W ULM. BROWN COUNTY. MINI. WEDNESDAY. OCT 2 1907.


to the Turner Theatre next Sunday
evening, direct from successful run
of two weeks in the Twin cities, is a
play OF the pastoral order and is an
idyll in its way. The story of the
drama is simple and is blended with
genuine comedy and pathos, while with
respect to the cast and scenic effects
the newspapers everywhere speak in
glowing terms.
The play might be likened to several
other well-known plays of the pastoral
sort IN the quaintness of the charac-
tiers presented and in the realism of it's
reproduction of phases of rural life,
but it differs from the usual run in
some ways also. 1t is without such
time-worn melodramatic elements as a
deep-dyed william, a prosecuted hero
inc, an old will and murder: and
furthermore, it is constructed out of
popular song. The story it tells is of
everyday people in a New England
hill town, with the common touches Of
sentiment and humor, and the sermon
it breaches is the good old sermon on
temperance in physical indulgenc and
liberality in religion.
One of the special features is the
singing Of popular favorites like ''The
Holy City, with special scenic effects,
by Master William Nelson, a boy So
prano from London. Then too there
are four distinct massive sets of seem
cry together with every electrical de-
vice known that could possibly en-
nance the beauty Of the piece.
1t will indeed be a production on
most elaborate scale.
Surely John Philip Sousa, who isto
appear in this city with his band for
the first time next month, has been a
hard worker during the fifteen years
that have passed since he organized
the Sousa Band. In that period of
time he has taken part in thirty semi
annual tours through the United
States, and four through Europe, has
personally conducted 1884 concerts in
1872 different cities, has travelled 1885,
275 miles and has expended for must
clans salaries alone the enormous
sum of So, 100000 90. And his artistic
conscience finds pleasure in the fact
that every program he has ever given
was wholesome and healthy in quality
and impression.
Between fifty and sixty people wit
messed the production of Rufus Ras-
tus in Dixie at the Opera House
Friday evening. The piece is musi-
cial mix-up of no particular merit and
is presented by a colored organization
of no more than mediocre ability.

SHOE FACTORY IN SIGHT.
Plans for Big Plant Outlined at
Business Mems Meeting.
institution Would Cover a Block
and Would Employ
300 People.
Labor Question to be Important
Factor in Determining
Location.

a shoe factory, turning out 2,4OO
pairs OF shoes day and employing
IN the neighborhood of 800 men, girls
and boys, was the alluring prospect
presented to tie business men of New
Ulm at largely attended meeting of
the Commercial Association at Geb-
ser's hall Monday evening.
The prospect is offered by the Shaft
Pierce company of Faribault and it
was Mr.. Shaft himself who talked of
the details.
He said at the outset that the plant
would be larger than the one at
faribault, which today makes 1,5OO
pairs of shoes daily and employs
close onto 200 people.
1t would be a one story building, he
went on to say, but would cover
block OF ground and would be so
arranged as to accommodate 800 en-
ployes and conveniently handle
daily output of 2,400 pairs. At the
outset he did not expect that it would
do any such business as that, as it
would take time to break in the new
help, but within three or four years
he was prepared to guarantee that
the plant would be running to it's
fullest capacity.
Just what was expected of New Ulm
in the way of inducements to secure
this splendid industry he would not
say. Much depended on the ease with
which the required labor could be OBJ
tanned. On this score it was pointed
out to him that New Ulm had an adj
vantage over every other small city
in the state, and it was also shown to
him that the labor was of the kind
that would stick.
Many questions were asked of Mr..
Shaft and in every case the answers
came in manner which indicated that
the Faribault man knew his business
and was out, not SO much for bonus,
as for safe town in which to broaden
an established and rapidly growing
business.
At his own suggestion committee
was appointed to show him about the
city and enlarge upon it's opportuni-
ties, and another committee to visit
the plant at Faribault and see just
what the institution is doing for the
upbuilding of the town. The personnel
of this latter committee will be an
nounced by President Klossner within
a day Or two.
Before leaving the city Mr.. Shaft
expressed himself as highly pleased
with the outlook

THE COUNTRY MERCHANT.

Capt. Schaefer, Minnesota's bank
examiner and for years a travelling
salesman, recently paid the following
well-deserved tri butte to the country
merchant:
'sThe country merchant is the most
underestimated, misunderstood indus
trial force in the commercial world to-
day. He is honest and financially re-
sponsible, and is used as a shield, SO
to speak, between the wholesaler and
financial loss. He buys his goods in
bulk and deals them out in driblets,
sometimes for cash, more often on
time, which means months, seasons,
years and occasionally eternity, know
ing as he wraps them up and passes
them over the counter that he will
never receive his pay therefor. He
receives the farmers produce, often
paying more than the market price,
and turns it over to the commission
houses of the great cities at loss.
He stands the loss for breakage,
shrinkage, dishonest returns and fail
ure of the commission house. Thus
he stands solitary and alone, benefac-
tor to the jobber and manufacturer on
the one hand and the consumers on
the other. And he is the victim of
both. He assumes the responsibilities
of both, makes their collections and
stands their losses, and | assure you
that it is fact that the country mer-
chant is not making much money. He
grows well-to-do slowly, rich rarely,
and millionaire never. Most of them
would gladly exchange incomes with
well-paid commercial travellers"

When DR.. Stricken arose to ad-

the remark that he felt that New Ulm
had reached a turning point in its
commercial development.
Within a year, he said, he was GER
tain that an industry would be estab-
lished here which would add several
thousand to the towns population.
Immense quantities of fine clay had
been discovered along the Cottonwood
and an eastern concern with unlimited
capital was now making a thorough
investigation with view to ascertain
ing just where to establish plant.
This plant would employ hundreds OF

in Munich particularly, where the
heory has been adopted that those
who are to become the working men
of the nation should have as good
opportunities to obtain a special pre-
paration for their life work as the
doctors, lawyers, ministers and engi-
neers have had to train for theirs.
The boys of Munich, when they leave
the ordinary schools at fourteen and
go to work, are compelled by law to
attend trade school for nine hours
week for three or four years, ac-
cording to the nature of the trade they
adopt. They must leave their factory
or shop three afternoons each week
and attesd school. The boy is trained
in literary work as we'll as in his
trade, SO that he becomes a more
cultured man as we'll as a better
mechanic.

AS the activities of the new associ-
alton have been outlined, it would not
expend much of its energy on the state
legislature. Ne attempt would be made
to get that body to indemnify it's mem
oers, and in the way Of revised laws
about the only thing that would be
asked for would be the re-enactment of
the old law prohibiting the draining
of meandered lakes.
Practically all of the association
efforts would be directed toward secur-
ing recognition from congress, and to
achieve this end it is planned to con-
duct systematic campaign. In the
petition government aid will be REQ ues-
ted in erecting dam at the headwa-
tiers, in deepening and widening the

Statistics would be compiled to show
the extent of the flood losses and an
estimate prepared of the cost of the
work.

Los Angeles herald., 1907-08-03
SPECIAL SCHOOL TAX

m HE pulse of metropolitan life in
America is best discerned by the
number and status of the public
schools, and by this test Los Angeles
city life is in a healthy condition
Inevitable growth, by reason of heavy
immigration in the past two years, has
greatly increased the number of chill
dren of school age. and to keep abreast
of the demand we must have more
school room in which to bestow them.
Questions of expediency and policy are
lost sight of in the presence of the
pressing need, and next Thursday,
August 8, the people will be called on
to be used in building new and reno
waiting old school houses.
The proverbial generosity of An
gelenos where anything touching the
welfare of children is concerned will
doubtless be manifest as of old, and
all our little people will be made happy
by receiving a seat in a clean and in
viting school room.
Superintendent E. C. Moore states
that 1000 children were forced to at
tend school in improvised shacks last
year, and as some 5000 additional little
ones will apply for admission this Sep
tember the great need is very apparent.
1t should be remembered that such
tax will not be more than cents
on S10O, and possibly as low as 5
cents, so that glance at the recent
assessors receipt will tell just what
individual assessment for the new
school tax will be. Los Angeles schools
were always in the lead, and should
always be kept there.
