ZUEBLIN OPPOSED TO SUNDAY LID
Famous Chicago socioIosist Ad.
yocates a Wide.open Sunday.

In an interview with the Chicago
Daily News. celebrating on lecture
he delivered Wednesday, Prof. Charles
Zueblin, the famous professor of
sociology in the University of Chica-
go, took unique and decided position
on the question of Sunday closing.
CLOSING things up on Sunday is,
not for the best" said the professor.
s'It is too late to dictate to others
what they shall do. Working people
must have something to do as an out
let for their energies
"Shoufd the saloons be closed on
Sundays" the professor was asked.
1.-The saloons as they are at present,
in cities like Chicago, should be
abolished altogether. and in their
stead there might be municipality
owned beer gardens similar to those
conducted in Germany. They should
be operated on respectable lines and
might in that case be privately owned"
"Should the theatres remain open
Sundays?" was the next question
asked.
YES replied the professor s'The
people after working an entire week
should have the privilege of recreation
on Sundays as we'll as religious exer-
cises.'
Prof. Zueblin, in word, believes
in Sunday amusements as long as
there are no excuses.
| The NOrthwestern's new line from
Ft. Pierre to Rapid City was put into
actual operation last Thursday.
A petition to drain Heron lake, the
finest canvasback hunting ground in
the state, is to be heard before Judge
Quinn at Jackson Sept 3. It is de-
clared by sportsmen that spectators
have been buying land along the lake
shore and now seek to acquire the lake
bed
1t is rumored that the Chicago s.
Northwestern is also planning a Paci-
fc coast extension. According to one
of the engineers the road will be built
/ north from Bell Fourche, South
Dakota, for hundred miles, thence
west and up the Yellowstone valley to
Billings, thence to Livingston and
Helena, and across Idaho and Wash
ington by the most direct route posi-
BILE to Seattle.
George Tauer fell from a wheat bin
in one of the elevators of the
Springfield mill last week and
struck on floor thirty feet below.
He was picked up in a semi-uncon-
scious condition, but no bones were
broken and he rallied in short time.
At Mankato Tom Hoy, a carpenter,
sixty years old, met with a similar ex
perience. He fell down a thirty foot
shaft in the new Methodist church
structure, but aside from few slight
bruises suffered no injury.
The Mankato Electric Traction com
pany, which is yet in its infancy, has
sustained its first accident. Frank
Lindgren, an employe, was assisting
in raising a pole, when it struck hor-
nets nest. The men could not drop
the pole on account of the position it
], was in, and they were compelled to
work with the angry little insects maxi
8 ing life miserable for them. A team
of horses standing nearby was at
tackled by the hornets and ran away,
crushing Lindgren's foot, fracturing a
bone and spraining the ankle joint.

Mankato and st. Peter Ball Teams
Engaged in Battle Royal.
Three Games to be Played, One of
Them to be Pulled Off at
New Ulm.
St. Peter Wins First Blood and
Purse of Two Hundred
Dollars.
Second Game Goes to Mankato
With a Score of 6 to q.

Nothing in years has SO aroused the
sporting blood of the natives of ST.
Peter and Mankato as has the series
of ball games now being played by the
crack teams of the two towns down the
river.
The first Of the series was pulled off
at St. Peter Sunday afternoon in the
presence of an audience of nearly
1000 enthusiastic fans. ST. Peter won
with score of to and since then it
has been almost impossible to even
look at a st. Peter man without the
aid of a good-sized roll.
The ssecond game was played at
Sibley Park in Mankato yesterday
afternoon, with Bartos of St. Paul in
the box for ST. Peter, and McCleary,
the famous Faribault pitcher, doing
the twirling for Mankato.
with which ST. Peter defeated her on
Sunday, but it took ten innings to do
it and ten innings too of the hardest
kind of ball playing.
This would indicate. that Mankato
hasn't the championship cinched no
matter how strongly her enthusiasts
may think so.
The third and final game will be
played on neutral ground in this city
next Sunday.
The diamond at the fair grounds is
being put in excellent shape for the re-
ception of the visitors and New Ulm
admirers of base ball may confidently
look forward to as fine an exhibition
of the national game as they have
ever witnessed.
at st. Peter and Mankato, will be
played for a side purse of 5000, and
Frank Force, sporting editor of the
Minneapolis Tribune will be the UNI
pire.
Large delegations of boosters are
expected to accompany the clubs from
DOtn towns.
st. James defeated Lakeield on the
Window diamond Thursday with a
score of to 3. Harry McCollum of
Mankato was in the box for the ST.
James club and pitched faultless ball.
The professional men of Sleepy Eye
have challenged the professional men
of New Ulm If the latter knew where
to lay their hands on a pitcher, whose
eligibility would not be questioned,
they'd accept in minute.
A brilliantly played game was
pulled off at Tracy Sunday between the
Tracy and Sleepy Eye clubs. The
home team won with score of 3 to 2.
The Arlington Grays played tie
Holtzermanns of Minneapolis at Ar
lington on Sunday. The first part of
the game was strong in favor of the
visitors, but at the end Of the struggle
the score stood Ii to I in favor of the
Grays.

HAVOC WROUGHT BY AWFUL STORM
Wind and Lightning Wreak De.
Struction Over. Half the State.

One of the severest general storms
in years swept over the southern half
Of the state Sunday evening.
In Ramsey and Hennepin counties,
particularly around the lakes, many
people were injured and the loss to
property and stock. is reported as
enormous.
In this section the wind and light
ming cut all kinds of capers.
New Ulm escaped with heavy dam
age to small trees and fruit, but west
Of here the damage is not to be esti-
mated.
In and around Walnut Grove and
Lamberton several farm buildings
were demolished, and at the former
place lightning struck the big chimney
of the new Catholic church and sent
the immense weight of brick crashing
through the roof with much consequent
damage.
At Springfield lightning also struck
field mill and cracked it almost from
top to bottom. The loss is estimated
at S 1000 and the worst feature of the
lightning's work is that the mill will
have to be shut down for at least a
month.
In the townships of North Star and
Brookville to the west of Springfield
special says that the crops are prac-
tically destroyed. Some of the small
grain was cut, but shocks and stacks
were scattered to the winds. Corn was
cut and pounded into the ground.
w. B. Mather, representing Bing-
ham Bros, visited the storm-swept re-
| gion Monday and while he does not
think the situation is as bad as repor-
ted he admits that it is bad enough to
be discouraging.
In Sleepy Eye lightning struck the
home of Mrs. Evans and set fire to it,
but prompt work on the part Of the
fire department prevented a midnight
conhagration. The smoke-stack of
the mill was also struck, but aside
from cutting a hole in the lower part
of the big brick structure no serious
damage was done.
A Sunday-scheolt teacher in Stafford
asked the pupils what became of the
swine that had evil spirits in them,
and little boy ventured the opinion
that they were made into deviled ham.
Kansas City Journal.
Held up somewhere for thirteen
years, a 81 draft on bank that long
since went out of business has just
turned up for payment. The draft
was drawn on the old Bank of Red
wood in 1894 in favor of F. A. Gray
and was made payable at the I'm
porters and Traders National Bank of
New York City. Gray Endorsed the
draft over to Charles McClare and it
was McClare who last week presented
it for payment. Strange to say, he got
MS money.
Dan Braun, a Fairfax cigarmaker,
has started an action against the Fair
fax marshal, William Klehm, to re-
cover S2.O15 damages for alleged
malicious prosecution. Two months
ago the marshal arrested Braun and
charged him with furnishing liquor to
"a man who was .'posted" at the

On Wednesday of last week the mem
bers Of Rev. George Mayors congre-

Rev. Klopsteg of Fairmont delivered
an address in which he enlogized the
long and faithful services of Mr..
Mayer and Rev. Koring followed with
a talk in which he spoke of the high
regard in which the New Ulm minister
was held by his fellow-workers in the
service of the church. The exercises
concluded with the presentation to
Rev. Mayer of a beautiful Inscribed
church agende and hymn book.
In the evening a banquet was held at
the Masonic hall.
Rev. Mayer was ordained in LEM
burg, ILL.,, in 1882 and came to this
city in 1906 after serving thirteen years
as pastor in an Evangelical church
in Minneapolis.

Fifteen THOUSAND PAY
HIGHER PERSONAL TAX
City Collector Is Sending Out Postal
Gard Notices Because of In
creased Levy Adding 9
Cents to Each $500

Fifteen thousand postal cards are be-
ing mailed by Collector e. E. Johnson's
force asking the recipients to pay their
personal property tax at once.
The increase in the tx levy makes a
higher percentage of income from per-
sonal property sources possible, and it
is to get the increased amount that COM
putations have been made and the duns
sent out.
Some bills amount to only a few cents,
but other amounts due run up into the
dollars.
The 1906 rate was sl.16; the 1907 rate
Is SIPS. Hence all those who have al
ready paid or figured on paying, must
send in nine cents additional on each
500 Of taxable returns they have made.
