 That Nashville bunch is going right up the ladder and if the other clubs don't watch out they will be passed. Bernard has notified President Kavanaugh that he is to be a non-player manager for some time.

 Harry Vaughn has fairly good twirler in Turner. but his loafing tactics after the Pelcans had secured their one-run lead in the fourth inning received sharp criticism. The game went 20 minutes longer than there was any necessity and Turner was entirely to blame.

 To all intents and purposes it looks as if the investigation will be hoary with frost and that President Kavanaugh will touch but lightly on the matter That is the way the alleged investigation has struck a number of people who are in a position to know.

At Irvings he retired early and when
called in the morning came down to
the Office. There he sat in chair
and soon began to act queerly. His
limbs twitched, and when Irving asked
him what was the matter he asked for
a doctor. The doctor being out of
the village, Irving was at loss to
know what to do and the muscular
twitching continued. The victim then
remarked that if the doctor didn't
come in time to save him Irving
should notify his sister in Charles
burg, I'll. A few moments later he
died. In his room upstairs was found
bottle containing strychnine and
then it became apparent that he had
committed suicide.
Coroner Fritsche was notified, but
after learning the essential facts did
not deem an inquest necessary.
From receipts found On the man S
person it was evident that at one time
he was in the railway service. Just
what led to his suicide no one will

Governor Johnson will recommend
to the legislature that popular election
of county superintendent of schools
be abolished. He is much impressed
with the Pennsylvania plan. In that
state the superintendent are elected
without reference to politics, at meet

saw recently in that state, while lee
turing before five teachers Institutes,
the governor is convinced that a
better grade Of men is secured for
the Office, and a better accord between
the superintendent and the schools
under his supervision is obtained.
Such a change would not require a
constitutional amendment, and would
tend to accomplish the same purpose
as the constitutional amendment which
came so near passing Nov. 3rd. The
amendment was designed to make ii
possible to fix an educational stand.

BIG STATE BANK PLANNED.
Country Bankers Arrange for.
Central Depository with Cap
ital of ST 900, 900.
Object is to Protect State Banks
from National Banks in Times
of Need.

A new state bank, with capital of
81, 200, 900, is to be organized in Min
neapolis shortly as result of a meet
ing of state bankers held in Mime
apoiis a week ago Tuesday.
G. D. Griffith of Sleepy Eve, him
self a national bank president, pre-
sided over the meeting and the propo-
sition which he advanced for the or
ganization of central state bank met
with the unanimous approval of the
fifty or more bankers who were pres
ent
Of the ST, 100000 capital which is to
be raised, half will be subscribed by
the busineus men of the Twin Cities
and the other half in the country.
The state banks of the big cities were
not invited to the Minneapolis meet
ing but will be asked to participate
in the bank organization when it is
actually undertaken.
One of the objects of the new bank
is the protection Of the state banks of
the county districts in time of panic or
shortage. Heretofore it has been the
custom of the national banks in such
periods to allow the state banks to
shift for themselves.
Mr.. Griffith in speaking Of the pro-
ject estimated the deposits which
would be placed in the proposed bank
within a short time after it was opened
for business at S12,O0O,OOO. He said
further that before many weeks had
rolled around the banks of the entire
Northwest would be enlisted ia sup
port of the proposition.

DIES AT AGE OF EIGHTY.oNE
John Bellm, Pioneer Settler, En-
ters the Undiscovered COun-
try of the Great Beyond.

Another old settler was called to his
final rest this week in the person of
John Bellm, who died late Friday
night.
Mr.. Bellm was born on the 18th of
April, 1927, the place of his birth be-
ing Langbruecken in the grand duchy
Of Baden. AS a young man he parti-
cipated in the revolution of 1913 and
following that struggle he emigrated
to America. AT first his home was in
Highland, Illinois, but in 1856 he came
with his wife to New Ulm. Here he
interested himself in number of mill
ing enterprises and up until the time
that he invested in the City mill his
business ventures were invariably sue
cessful.
During the Indian outbreak he
played prominent role in the defense
of New Ulm and the fact that he was
chosen as captain of the company
which was organized for the city pro-
lection is some indication at least of
his standing in the pioneer community.
In 1876 Mr.. Bellm lost his first wife
who had borne him six children, and
in 1877 he remarked, thistime to Fran
ciska Jones, whe along with two chill
dren of her own and the six from the
first wife, survives him.
He was one of the charter members
OF the Sons of Herman lodge and con-
tinued faithful member to the end.
| The funeral was held from the Tur-
ner Hall yesterday afternoon, the
Sons of Herman attending in a body
and the Second Regiment band act
ing as an escort. The following rela-
tives from out of town were present:
VIM. Bellm and wife of Rochester,
Mr. and Mrs. Martin Hanson of Belle
PLANE, Iowa, Mr.. and Mrs. jerome
| M adden of Waseca, Mrs. Maxville of
Rockville, Iowa, Mrs. McChesney Of
Fulda, Mrs. Winkler Of Currie, Mr..
and Mrs. Jones of Heron Lake and
Herman Bellm of Fort Smelling.
