Albert Engel of Chicago paid a
visit to his brother, Henry, in this
city Sunday.
A telegram was received at the gov
ernor's Office in st. Paul Monday to
the effect that Oscar M. Koehler, a
marine attached to the American le-
cation in Pekin, China, had died on
the 18th of September and that his
body would be shipped to this country
at government expense. Oscar was a
son of Henry Koehler, former resi-
dent of New Ulm who now lives in
Minneapolis.
The recital of Mrs. Minnie V. Schoch
at the Turner Theatre Friday evening
was a pronounced success. Miss
Schoch, besides possessing a charm
ing personality and stage presence,
gives a program which merits the
closest attention. Her reading OF
s'Rebecca's Journey" is beautiful
the well-known arena scene from Sien-
kewicz's "Quo Vadis' is one of the
best things in dramatic reading ever
heard in this city. Her voice is one OF
great range, possessing a wonderful
versatility, and her poses are those of
the easy and finished artist. Miss
Schoch was assisted in her program
by group of home talent performers
in scene that was known as "The
Bachelors Reverie, y Gilbert W.
Funk portraying the bachelor, while
thirteen prominent ladies of the city
admirably enacted the visions. There
was also a club-swinging number
that was particularly we'll received.

IS SHORT LINE TO BE ABANDONED?
Interesting Railroad Story Grows
Out Of Work Being Done Near
ST. Peter.

From ST. Peter, via the Minneapo-
lis Journal, comes the following, none
of which can be confirmed:
Preliminary work that is being done
near this city by a surveying crew
partly confirms rumor that the North
western road is to send the bulk of
its traffic over its old main line from
Mankato Junction to New Ulm, and
that it will practically abandon the use
of the shorter line between Mankato
and New Ulm.
Ten years ago the railroad company
went to heavy expense to build the
cutoff, which effects a saving of some
fourteen miles, but it is said that the
results obtained have not come up to
expectations. Owing to the fact that
the road was built through marshy
country, the cost of maintenance has
been heavy, and lack of yard room at
Mankato has hampered the company
in handling it's freight business.
TO escape traffic congestion, the
railway officials sent large proper.

JOHNSON GAINING IN THE 9TH
All Indications Point to a Very
Close Contest in Jacobson's
Home District.

Evidence that the supporters of
Attorney General Young in the late
contest for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton are now lining up for Governor
Johnson continue to accumulate and
the feeling this fact engenders with
the republican managers is very much
akin to cold sweat. With a Young
disaffection we'll under way they see
Jacobson's home district slipping
from their grasp and a defeat looming
up in the foreground almost as over
whelming as that OF two years ago.
First reports of disaffection among
the Young supporters came from Echo,
Yellow Medicine county. An effort
was made to organize Jacobson
club in that village, but although the
place is strongly Republican, only II
members could be secured.
Other reports of strong johnson
sentiment have been coming in from
other Young strongholds since then,
and on Friday the results of two straw
votes, taken in Kerkhoven, Swift
county, Young's home county, were
made known.
One vote was taken in general
store and was mostly among the farm
ers who came to trade. The result
was: Johnson 73, jacobson Is; Taft
so, Began 81. The second vote was
taken at restaurant and was largely
| among the towns people. The result
was: johnson Il, jacobson "a; Taft
43, Bryan 80.
The Johnson sentiment in this sec.
tion is the more remarkable because a
large percentage of the population is
Norwegian, the merchant at whose
store the first vote was taken being a
countryman of Jacobson.

As one result Of the poHtica
fight among Republicans over in
Bates county. charges have been
preferred against Postmaster
Clark Wix of Butler. It's alleged
that Wix has been too active in
politics. OF the charges, the Rep
ublcan Press Of Butler says.
The charges are serious and
the men back Of them are among
the leading and most influential
and active Republicans in Bates
county.
Wi1 has been steadfzstly Op-
posed 70 the nomination Of W. o.
Atkeson for congress. Atkeson
also resides in Butler. tits there

leading and influential RepubE-
cans" who are backing the char
ges against Wix are Atkeson
men. and, as Atkesou poses as
an Influential Republican, he
maS be one Of the influential
bunch" " Those who are respon-
sible for Atkeson could hardly
have made a more foolish blum
der. As postmaster or citizen,
Clark Wix has the right Of an
American citizen, 70 favor the
candidacy Of any man he chooses.

ever in thinking that he and his
organization or machine are TO
have full sway and they should
remember the fate Of all rings
a n d bosses since I h e time Of
Adam.
Another point 10 remember is
that ring has gotten into such a
position that it has nothing to
lose if it succeeds in disrupting
the Republican party in Bates
county. Stop and think of any
one of them who would be loser
il there was a split. We feel GER
tain that the voters Of Bates
county do not sanction the Butler
ring whose sole objects seem to
be to rule or ruin the party.
This last week the Republican
Press made the statement that
the Tribune knew that Atkesons
did not sign the charges against
Clark Wix. We do know, though
that Mr.. Atkeson sent a letter
with the charges and mailed
them to headquarters.
Atkeson was one of the bolters
to Kerens against Niedringhaus
in the senatorial fight aud bolted
the Bates county delegation at
the state convention in ST. Louis
this year. That is the record Of
the man whose supporters are
Mr.. Hales Of being a
bolter.
Some ofthe reasons why Mr..
Hales should be nominated and 1
are:
He has always been a faithful |
Republican.

He has the respect and conf /
dence of his home people.
He is successful in his profes

He is in harmony with the Re
publican voters Of Bates county

tions.
He will add strength 10 the Re
publican ticket.
And the best reason is because
the ring is opposed to him.

A FEW STATEMENTS.
A Brief Synopsis Of the Congressional Mat
ter With New Lights.

Only once in the history Of the
world has one man, Adam, been
monarch OF all he surveyed, and
he made the most serious mis-
take ever credited TO human in
telligence.
A number of times since have
men tried to make themselves
masters Of mon and failed
Alexander, Caesar, the great
trio headed by Antony, and many
others OF the ancients got a taste
OF absolute rule, and then their
plans failed. For ages t b e
medavel monarchs tried TO re-
organize h G Roman Empire;
Napolean worked towards a
world monarchy-in fac the his
tory Of the world is flooded with
instances Of failure Of one man
or a few men Of controlling
things.
A dip into phsychology proves
to US that men during their lives
pass rapidly through the many
stages of the race, and so we
believe that the Butler Ring CT
Atkeson ring is now passing
through that stage Of the human 4
development when they want Z
absolute control They are now
living at the stage when they are
consciously or unconsciouly pat

ambitious ones. +

Then came the election OF

the Republican-Press last week
made the assertion that Mr.. Hales
did not suppurt Prof Chambers.
This, lso, is untrue. This
spring the ring put Atkeson in
the field for congress again and
when Mr.. Hales announced they
at once began their present fight
to discredit him and all his
friends-simply because they are
Opposed TO the ring.
This gave them an opportunity
70 make known the fact that they
were whipped in the selection of
a post master at Butter. The
ring man Fox was beaten by
Clark Wix through the support
Of the people and Mr.. Wix receiv-
ed the support Of the people Of
three townships when the com
mitteemen from the townships,
Messrs Chambers, Whinnery
and DR.. Miller were for Fox.
For this the Republican Press
says that Clark Wix tried to dis.
credit these three gentlemen.
II seems queer that these gentle
men should not receive the back
ing Of their constituency in their
official act.
So great is the soreness Of the
Butler crowd over this defeat
that they cannot fight about any
thing else and it is really sur
prising how many are fighting
and squealing about it.
They have recently discovered I

are with Mr.. Wix and that they
are up against a hard proposition
when they try 10 tear down a
good mans name, in order that
they may gain their end.

thing against him is that he has
expressed an opinion and every

fact that that is cur right, no

 Another find is perfect slate. with a frame carved of the same material. The evidence is undeniable that it was used for the purpose of slate just as the children Srf these days use them. A piece of softer slate that might well have been used as a pencil was also found. The slate was about 1-2x5 inches in size.
 Then there is a piece of flint rock of fine texture and of very light color. about four inches in diameter, circu- lar and with concave sides about two inches thick in the center What its use may have been is entirely con jectural as also is that of half dozen other pieces of differing rock forma- tion.
