ARE ROYALTY ENTERTAINED
Merchants and Manufacturers of
Milwaukee Given Cordial
Reception.
Ride About the City and a Lunch
at Schell's Important Features
Of the Program.
Nothing but Compliments Heard
for New Ulm's Hospitality
When Party Leaves.

In the reception accorded the Mil
waukee merchants and manufacturers
on Friday New Ulm did itself proud.
In all there were nearly a hundred
visitors in the party and these hum
dred were made to enjoy every minute
of their stay in the city.
When their special train arrived at
the Northwestern depot from the west
at lO:45 o'clock they were met by the
mayor, the members of the city coun-
Gil, a Commercial club committee and
a host of citizens with rigs and auto
mobiles preparedlto escort them about
the city.
The ride which followed was an in
teresting one. Going first to the
milling district the procession after
warded toured the business and resi-
dence districts, made d brief stop at
the Hermann's monument and finally
wound up at Schell's. Everywhere
the strangers saw things that they
hadn't looked for and they had no
hesitancy in expressing their pleasure
and surprise.
At Schell's lunch was served and
short speeches made by Gen. Bobleter,
representing the city, and John H.
Moss and B. G. Ellsworth, represent
ing the association.
Returning to the city the visitors
spent the balance of their allotted time
in calling on the local dealers in their
respective lines and at three O'Clock
tkey started for Mankato where they
were banqueted in the evening.
AS the train pulled out the octette
sang "Die Wacht am Rhein" and
"How Can I Bear to Leave Thee" and
three husky cheers went up from a
hundred throats for the ''Minnesota-
Milwaukee" and its open-hearted citi-
zens.

PREACHER VIOLATES GAME LAWS
Fined Ten Dollars at EIysian For
Fishing With More Than One
Pole and Line.

Rev. Stone of Westbrook, a disciple
of God and likewise of Isaac Walton,
vas arrested at Elysian Friday after
noon and was fined $40 and costs for
illegal fishing.
Stone used to live at Elysian and
the fact that he was acquainted with
the biting propensities of the fish in
the lakes thereabout and the further
fact that he had fished there when the
laws were not so strict as they are
now may have had something to
do with leading him into temptation.
At any rate when the game warden
swooped down upon him Friday
afternoon he was manipulating four
lines and doing land Office busi-
ness with bass and pike. In fact
SO anxious were the fish to get into
the minister's possession that the
game warden could not resist the i'm
pulse to land a couple of them for
him. This act of kindness induced
the unsuspecting minister to suggest a
division of the spoils but here the
game warden baked and at once pro-
claimed his authority.
At the justice court later on the
minister pleaded guilty and paid his
| fine without murmur.
Still later it leaked out that this was
not his first offense.

DEMAND RESTITUTION OF TAXES
Flood Victims in RenvilIe and
Nic0lIet Counties Are Out
For Relief.

Twenty farmers living in the Mime
sofa river valley in Renville and
Nicollet counties have sought legal
advice at Fairfax for the purpose of
securing redress from the county and
state for the damages sustained
through the overfowal of their lands
by the waters Of the swollen stream.
For the past four years these people
have suffered severely, some of them
having as much as two hundred acres
under water, and they feel that they
have now reached that point where
they are entitled to help. They will
therefore make an attempt before the
town, county and state boards OF
equalization to have the assessments
on their lands rebated.

GOVERNOR HERE ON SOCIAL VISIT
Chief Executive and Members Of
His Staff Spend Sunday
Seeing New UIm.

Gov. Johnson with certain members
of his staff and their ladies honored
New Ulm with social call Saturday
evening, remaining over until four
O'Clock Sunday afternoon. In the
party were Gov. and Mrs. Johnson,
Gen. and Mrs. E. L. Welch and two
daughters, Gen. and Mrs. Fred B.
| Wood, Col. and Mrs. David Wall
blom, Col. and Mrs. Paul Doty, Col.
and Mrs. John E. Burchard and
daughter and Maj. and Mrs. r. II.
Whitcomb and daughter of st. Paul,
Gen. and Mrs. NJ. M. Gasser of Du-
luth, and Col. and Mrs. E. Fl. Murphy,
Maj. and Mrs. Geo. S. Kotfend and
Maj. and Mrs. W. r. Wylie of Min
neapolis.
The distinguished visitors arrived
over the Northwestern road in a
special from Mankato at about nine
o'clock in the evening and were met
at the depot by members of the auto
mobile club who escorted them in a
pretty procession to the Dakota
House. Here they were received by
Mr.. and Mrs. F. W. johnson, whose
guests they were to be, and here too
they were serenaded by the Second
Regiment band, the latter giving a
delightful concert that lasted for
several hours. After a bounteous
lunch the evening was given over to
dancing.
Sunday morning Gov. Johnson
visited his old friend, Fred Fritsche,
in Nicollet county, and later joined
with his associates in drive about
the city. This drive will long remain
a pleasant memory with the visitors,
not only because of the beauty Of the
scenery along the route, but also be-
cause of the hospitality shown by our
citizens wherever the party stopped.
4 Dinner was served at the Dakota
House at two O'Clock and at $3.50 the
party returned to ST. Paul.

NOT SEEKING REELECTION
Third Term has no Allurements
for Minnesota's Chief Ex-
ecutiye.
Frank Day Says SO and the Cover
nor Himself Confirms it.
Barring Accidents at Denver, He
Will Devote His Time to
Lecturing.

Early in the week Frank Day gave
out statement in which he said he
could see or imagine no contingency
or condition under which Gov. John
son would consent to run for third
term.
Later in the week Gov. Johnson him
self confirmed this tatement by max
ing one of his own. In this he said:
1.-The statement made by Mr.. Day to
the effect that [ would not again be a
candidate for the Office of governor, is
correct in every particular. Under no
circumstance will [ be candidate for
denomination. Not only will I not be
a candidate, but I would not accept a
nomination if it were unanimously ten
dered me. I appreciate the signal dis
tinction which has been conferred upon
me by the democratic party and the
people of Minnesota in two nomina
tions and two elections to this Office,
and [ am mindful of the obligation
which [ owe to the people OF this COM
monwealth, but 90 not believe in the
third-term principle as applied to the
Office of governor. and am Influenced
in this decision by considerations gen
orally which would make it impossible
for me to arrive at any other conclu-
sion.
s'My reason for making this state
ment at this time is that there may be
!. no political embarrassment because of
any indefniteness as to my position.
The party which has honored me in the
past is entitled to know my position in
order that it may devote itself to the
nomination of a ticket, unhampered by
a feeling that possibly I might at a
later day become a candidate. The
party is rich in material, and has any
number of men who would make strong
and available candidates for this and
every other state office, and who would
not only command the support and
confidence of the people in campaign,
but would, [ am sure, maintain and
continue to advance the policies OF
'*this administration
Johnson's transition will be from
the capitol at ST. Paul to the lecture
platform. He is already under en-
gagement for series of summer Chau-
tauqua dates at 5000 a lecture and
these are to be followed, it is under
stood, by a winter tour that will net
him many times his salary as COVER
nor.
The only thing, therefore, that might
be expected to interfere with his pre-.
sent program would be his nomination
for the presidency at Denver.

HAMMOND's OPINION OF CANNON
Minnesota Congressman's Views
Of the Speaker Are Hardly
Printable.

Congressman Winfield Scott Ham
mond on his return to Minnesota from
a term in congress arrived in st. Paul
Thursday. The next day he went to
Springfield, in this county, to deliver
an address.
Mr.. Hammond intends to be can
didate for reelection this fall and one
of the leading features of his cam
paign will be his protest against the
methods of Speaker Cannon and the
house machine in controlling legis-
lation.
II think il the people of the country
really knew the truth about the way
legislation is shaped and controlled
at Washington, said the congress
man, we would see a revolution in
short order. It does seem that the
nine members from Minnesota ought
to have as much to say about legisla-
ton as one man from Danville, H.,
but. the fact is that they do not. Per-
sonally, Mr.. Cannon is one Of the
most pleasant men ever knew, but
my opinion of him politically, and as
a speaker, is unprintable.

Los ANGELES
Being CLEARED

Some mornings ago the Bonanza
published a press report from Los
Angeles to the effect that a miner,
claiming to be from Fluorine, Ne
vada, had been found in the railroad
yards with a bullet in his chest.
Nothing was known as to the motive
for the crime, or as to who perpe-
trated it. Now, we learn the'follow-
ing:
Cunningham, who was found lying
on a pile of railroad ties clad only in
trousers, undershirt and shoes, said
that while drinking the previous
evening he met the three men, to
whom he loaned several dollars when
they said they were BROKE" They
drank freely, he said, and after that
he saw a man with a revolver stand
ing in front of him.
He added that he owns several
claims in Nevada, valued at $4,000
Cunningham later told the detec'
tives that he shot himself, but die
not use revolver. He says he plac
ed cartridge against his breast ant
hammered the cap with railroad
spike until it exploded. This was mo-
the case.
The bullet was extracted. The
surgeons found that the bullet strucl
a rib and plowed upward, probabl!
tearing the lung slightly. They sa!
he will recover unless he contracts
pneumonia.
