New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1907-04-03

Congressman MeCleary entered up
on his duties as second assistant post
master general last Thursday. During
the present month Mr.. McCleary will
spend sometime in Minnesota, after
which he will visit number of the
large cities of the country for the pur-
pose of getting in touch with the pos
tai service in the field.
Harvey Hampton, construction fore
man Of the Nicollet County Telephone
company, has invented compact tele-
phone cabinet that seems to offer great
possibilities. The Hampton model is
fully six inches shorter than the ordi-
nary cabinet, and does not project so
far from the wall as those commonly
in use. It has compartments for dry
batteries, the receiver hook and lnduc-
ton coils, and utilities the space under
the shelf for the generator. The cabi-
net can be manufactured much cheaper
than those on the market at present,
and Mr.. Hampton has received a good
offer for his invention from tele-
phone supply house
1t will interest local members Of the
National Guard to know that Capt. A.
E. Clark, recently promoted from the
rank of first lieuten ant, has just
gradu ated from the garrison school
for officers at Fort Smelling and has
received his diploma after three
years course of study in the higher
branches of military work. He is the
only militia officer in the Northwest
to have completed this work, and only
Shree or four militia officers in the
United States have received the honor.
Capt. Clark has been in the national
guard six years. He has been on the
state rifle team every year and has
gone to Sea Girt, N. j., with the team
both years it attended the national
matches. Next fall he will go to Fort
Leayenworth, Kan, to take another
years work at the infantry and caval-
nv school.

A Polish undertaken sent two of his
men with coffin to a fiat on the first
floor. By mistake they rang at door
on the second floor, where man was
lying in bed i'll. The stupefed SER
want let them in. The sick mans feel
ings,. when he saw the coffin, can be
imagined. Sitting up in bed, his voice
shaking with horror, he roared:
go away, I'm not dead yet"
''That doesn't NATTER" was the
placid answer, "we'll wait. "-Bocian.
During some maneuvers lieuten-
ant was shot in the leg. They took
him to the hospital, where the doctors
began to cut his leg. After bearing it
in silence for some time, he asked:
''What are you doctors butchering
me like this for?'
"We're looking for the bullet" one
answered.

THOUSANDS FOR new UIM MAN
Decision Of Supreme Court in Ger.
mania Bank Case Of Great In.
tereSt to Jacob Pfennin9er.

A Ramsey County case Of great in
terest to the stockholders of the de-
funct Germania Bank of ST. Paul was
decided by the state supreme court on
Friday in the appeal of Ernst Albrecht
from the decision Of the district
court in suit brought against him by
Gustav Willius, receiver of the bank.
The receiver sought to recover GER
tain sums from Mr.. Albrecht on stock
liability. Mr.. Albrecht set up the
statue of limitations as defense. The
district court decided against him,
but the supreme conrt reverses this
decision and uphold Albrecht's con-
tention.
The position of the supreme court is
that where two forms of procedure
exist TO enforce the super-added liabil-
ity of the stakeholder in a corporation,
the statute of limitations commences
to run from, the time when suit might
have been brought against the stock
holder under either form of procedure.
This case is of particular interest in
this city inasmach as Jacob Pfenninger
was one of the stockholders of the de-
funct bank and had been requested to
pay to the receiver the sum of s12, 900,
or the full amount of his stock, as
per-added liability. Had the receiv-
er been sustained in his case against
Mr.. Albrecht, it is certain that suit
would have been instituted against the
New Ulm man.

The county option bill, which was
killed in the senate some weeks ago,
was given its quietus in the house
when a motion to recall the bill from
the committee on temperance was de-
feated by vote of so to SIS.
The case of F. l.. Gugbisberg
against Frank Winning for using
abusive language came up for trial
here last Saturday. The defendant
plead guilty and paid his fine and the
costs. Lafayette Ledger.
There will be no compromise on the
two-cent passenger fare proposition.
The legislative conference committee
came to that conclusion Monday eve
ming and decided to report in favor of
bill providing for a fiat two-cent
rate.
Next Sunday the officers of the
Texas grand lodge of Hermann Sons
will dedicate monument to the late
Julius Schuetze in lakewood cemetery
at Austin, Texas. MIR. Schuetze was
national grand president at the time
of the dedication of the monument in
this city.
After an argument lasting five hours
the senate killed the semi centennial
exposition bill by one vote, the vote
being 81 for and 80 against the bill,
80 being necessary for passage. It
was the hardest fight the senate has
had this session, and the defeat was
accomplished through an unusual
combination of circumstances. Two
of the senator's whose support was
counted on by the supporters of the
bill went over to the opposition, and
another senator, who had voted with
the supporters of the bill in the early
stages of the fight, was called away by
news of the serious illness of his
father.

INDIAN. WAR PENSIONS EXTENDED
Lower House of Legislature Acts
Favorably on the Wright Bill.

Sitting as committee of the whole,
the house, just before its noon adj
journment Friday, recommended for
passage the Wright bill, providing
pensions for all citizen soldiers of
Minnesota who participated in the In
dian wars. AS the law now reads,
only those who were disabled in these
wars are entitled to pensions. Now
twelve dollars month is provided
for all survivors.
The general fear was that the bill
would prove an expensive act of chari-
ty and protests cane from all parts of
the house, John Lennon and Judge
Hicks of Minneapolis leading in this
respect.
They were vigorously opposed to the
amendment proposed by Burdett Thay-
err which extended the pensions to per-
sons now residing out of the state.
This amendment was defeated.
Two amendments were adopted, one
denying the pension to citizen soldiers
now drawing pension from the ma
tional government, and the other max
ing 1907 instead of 1905 the year when
the pensions shall become operative.
The senate has passed the Nolan re-
ciprocal demurrage bill by a vote OF
81 to 9. Senator Clague led the fight
for its passage.
The house in committee of the whole
has killed the bill providing that tax
of ten per cent should be paid each
year on the interest of debt secured
by mortgage.
A constitutional amendment provid-
ing that county superintendent OF
schools shall be required to have edu-
cational qualifications to be deter
mined by the legislature is proposed

KNEW WHAT HE WANTED.
Astute Yankee Made Money by Wear.
Ing Queer Pair Of Trousers.

A Massachusetts man tells a story
OF "Old John" Langley, veteran Wor-
cester horseman, that is Illustrative of
Yankee astuteness.
One day Langley sought his tailor
and in somewhat profane terms de-
manded "a pair Of breeches of the best
stun in the shop" OF the many sam
pies submitted "Old John" hit upon a
beautiful silky broadcloth, the most
costly piece of goods the tailor had,
and, although this was most unsuitable
for the purpose, Langley insisted that
1t was just what he wanted. Further
more. he declared that he desired it
made up wrong side out"
The tailor expostulated in vain, but
the trousers were made as per specifi-
cations, and delivered.
A day or so thereafter friend, call
ing ON Langley. remarked on the trou-
sers in uncomplimentary language.
Langley said he was satisfied. More
guying resulted in an offer from "Old
John" to bet $50 that the cloth cost
more per yard than that in his friends
trousers. The bet was taken and the
tailor was to decide it. He named the
price. The friend would not believe
that the rough goods could be so costly
until he was shown the shiny silky
side Then he paid, as other men had
ton similar bets, SO that "Old John"
reaped quite harvest on his original
idea.

payment of the bonds for these
permanent works does come under
that head. so that it will be readily
seen that under the proposed plan
of the city council for erecting
waterworks and electric lighting
plant. we shall obtain water and
lights and the money that
would go to enrich private cor
poration in payment for that ser
vice will go towards the payment
of the DO nds. There will be no
increase in taxation and the indiv-
idual households will not have to
take water from the city unless
they want It, so that on the score
of expense the most conservative
man in the city connot vote against
the bond issue. Indeed 1t IS the
very persons WAC have hitherto
been Indifferent about the improv-
ements who will benefit most by
the increase in the value of proper

has doubled in value and that this

GROWING SUGAR CANE.

In the biographies used in the
school of the United States the
Young students are given to I'M
derstand that the State of Louisiana
is one of the very sweetest lands
on earth, that in the bottom lands
of the Mississippi sugar cane grows
almost as well as in the West
Indian Islands and some times
passing mention is made of certain
limited areas in the state of Texas
where sugar is made but as yet 1t
would be hard to find text book
that contains any information
about the real position held by
Texas as a sugar producing coun-
trv. For 80 years in the Rio
Grande Valley enormous yields of
sugar have been produced of
quality never dreamed of by the
planters of Louisiana. And while
the cane has been phenominally
xich in suger, it is the enormous
yield and the proper maturing OF
the stalk that has astonished men
from Louisiana. 1t is hard for
them to believe the truth OF the
wonderful stories they hear OF the
Lower Rio Grande Valley, they
have to be shown. The other day
John Closner received a letter from
a Louisiana planter, asking if 1t
was a fact that we had cane with
Joints formed already. Mr.. Clos
ner for answer sends few stalks
IL to IA feet high and with from
10 10 II joints already formed.
These samples will convince those
fortunate enough to see them that
the Lower Rio Grande Valley is
really growing sugar caue. Just
as Brownsville shipped grapes OF
superior quality to California six
weeks ahead of any that country
can produce in order to convince
thepeople of the Golden Gate that a
new star had arisen in the horti-
cultural heaven. So the samples
of cane sent to Louisiana by Mr.
Closner will convince the planters
there that there is another land
coming to the front and that it can
Justly claim to be the sweetest spot
IN the United States.

TAXES NOT INCREASED.

It is Just possible that there may
be a few of the taxpayers III
brownsville who have not been
fully informed of the financial part
the taxpayers will play in the cons
Sruction of the waterworks and
electric lighting plant. If the tax
Uayers vote to issue the bonds
for the construction of these public
works, there will be no incease in
the taxes. At the present time the
Taxes are 65 cents on the hundred
dollars valuation, this is all the
law allows the city to collect, and
even if it were possible to collect
more it would not be necessary
for the construction of these very
necessary public utilities. Twenty
i've cents of the 65 cents collected
goes into the fund for permanent
improvements and it is from this
fund that the interest on the bonds
will be paid. There will be no call
made for any increase on account
of the water used for fire purpose:
or for street lights, as would bt
the case if a private corporation
were given the franchise to builc
these works. Then the paymen
for water or lights could not b
