THE CHARTER OAK.
Bells Tolled and Funeral Dirses Played
When II Fell.

4
The charter oak Of Hartford was a
white oak. The story goes that when
James, duke of York, assembled the
throne of England and sent Andres to
take away all colonial charters Con-
necticut alone refused to surrender
hers. Andres was furious over this
defiance. and Oct. 81, 1857. he returned
to the assembly hall of Hartford with
body of soldiers and demanded in
slant surrender of the charter, which
lay in box on the table. A hot dis
cussion followed. Finally Andres
stretched out his hand to seize the
disputed paper. Then the candles
were suddenly extinguished, and the
people who had gathered on the street
outside rushed in a disorderly crowd
into the hall. There was a period Of
Wild confusion in the dark, and when
the candles were finally relighted no
charter was to be found. It had been
removed by Captain Wadsworth and
concealed in the oak, which ever after
ward bore its name.
The oak was even then old. when
the first settlers were clearing their
land the Indians begged that it might
be spared. Tt has been the guide Of
our ancestors for centuries they said,
as to the time Of planting our corn.
When the leaves are the size Of a
mouse's ears, then is the time to put
seed into the ground The Indians re-
quest was granted, and the tree, after
ward becoming the custodian of the
lost charter. became famous for all
time. It fell in a windstorm Aug. 81,
1856, and so deeply was it venerated
that at sunset on the day of its fall
the bells of the city were tolled and a
band of music played funeral dirges
over its ruins.
At the time Of it's fall its circumfer-
ence one foot from the ground was
twenty-five feet, and it was estimated
to be over 600 years old.-Kansas City

Participants in Saturdays Cele-

Thousand.
New Ulm Represented by Band,
Soldiers and Singers.
Valiant Deeds of Post Defenders
Recalled by Numerous
Speakers.
Randall, Moore and O'Shea Con-
spicuous Among Attending
Survivors.

The celebration of the forty-sixth
anniversary of the second days battle
at Fort Ridgely was a success beyond
all expectations.
Between three and four thousand
people were on the grounds huge
aggregation of basket picnickers -
and if appearances count for anything
every one of them had an enjoyable
time. They came from all parts of
the country, by foot, by team, by
automobile, from New Ulm, from
Fairfax, from Sleepy Eye, from
Springfield. Franklin and Hector,
from everywhere within a radius OF
fifty miles. 1t was great and in
teresting throng.
New Ulm, the town which was
largely responsible for the celebration
being held, contributed immeasurably
to the days entertainment. 1t fur
nished any number of people, it
furnished its militia and band and it
furnished a quartette and Octette OF
splendid singers. 1t also furnished
the president Of the day, Gen. Jos.
Bobleter.
The exercises were held in the mag
nifcent natural amphiteatre southeast
of the grounds where once stood the
fort and now stands the monument.
Gen. Bobleter presided and intro
duced during the day Major B. III.
Randall, the forts first sutler, D. W !.
Moore, who was located on the Upper
Agency at the time of the uprising and
who had travelled all the way from
Colorado Springs to be present at the
celebration, Dennis O'Shea, who COM
manded one of the guns in the post S
defense, Congressman Volstead and
Jacob F. Jacobson, republican can
didate for governor. Randall, Moore
and O'Shea spoke in reminiscent
vein, while Volstead and Jacobsen
eulogized the heroes who had with
stood the onslaught of the sayages and
set forth in glowing terms the impor-
tance of their services to the state.
Both urged that the Fort Rldgely
grounds be made national military
park and promised all the aid in their
power to bring such thing about.
Sanwiched in between the speeches
there were selections by the Second
Regiment and Fairfax bands and
vocal numbers by New Ulm octette
under the direction of Vim. Pfaender
Jr. and a ladies' quartette composed
of Mesdames Furst, Bell, Alvin and
Helm, all of these numbers being we'll
received.
A letter was also read from Col.
Sheehan, the post commander during
the siege, expressing his regret that
sickness made it impossible for him
to attend the celebration.
Late in the afternoon the crowd was
entertained by a sham battle and ex-
hibition drills by Company A and by
a ball game between the Fairfax and
New Ulm clubs resulting in a victory
for the latter by score of to 3.
A brief business meeting of the Fort
Ridgely National Park and Historical
association was also held and at this

Samuel Gompers, the labor leader,
has come out for woman suffrage, de-
claring that woman wage earners
would get higher salaries if they had
the ballot. In speech at Boston the
other day he said: 81 am for unquali-
lied woman suffrage as matter of
human justice. 1t is unfair that wo-
| man should be governed by laws in
in the making of which she has no
voice. She cannot say either, under
our present system, how laws should
be administered. Why should any
adult human being with a bit of intel
ligence submit peacefully to such a
system? We cannot blame modern
women for demanding the ballot. It
is only natural that the educated wo-
man of today should ask to have a
voice in the making of laws which she
must obey, and that she must feel that
our present system is not just.n
The New Ulm team played a second

In regard to the foregoing article,

is entirely false. 1t was our second
team or Autos who played Sleepy Eye.
New Ulm's first team hasn't been in
existence for the last month or SO and
we think would have given the Gibbon
Autos such tronncing that they
Wouldn' forget for sometime TO come.
