ROAD TO REBUILD TREsTLE
Bridge Over River at St. Peter
Pronounced Unsafe.

A special to the Minneapolis Tri-
bune, dated St. Peter Dec. 10 reads,
as follows: Two carloads of structur-
al iron were shipped to St. Peter last
week and the Chicago & Northwestern
road has a crew of men at work re-
building and strengthening its trestle,
across the Minnesota river. The bridge
was built in 1872, when the Winona &
St. Peter road was extended to>>New
Ulm, but about year ago the engi-
neering department pronounced it IN
safe for the heavier type of freight lo-,
comotives.
This activity on the part of the
Northwestern has revived the rumor
that the line between Mankato and
New Ulm will be abandoned and that
the greater part of the traffic will be-
sent through this city. Last summer a
new survey was made, and at its last
meeting the city council granted the
company right of way along First
street.
When the new track is laid the depot
will be moved to the central part of
the city, and better shipping facilities.

plant, the flour mill and three other,

DIFFERENT METHODS
New German Imperial Chancellor
to Avoid Pu&nacious Acts.

Notwithstanding to information
from an exceptional source, the new
imperial chancellor, Herr Won Beth
mann-Hollweg, has signitied his in
tention of adopting methods in the
management of Germany's foreign
policy essentially different from those
which characterized the regime Of his
predecessor, Prince Buelow.
Without suggesting that the funda-
mental principles Of German policy
will thereby be upset, it may be stated
with certainty that the new chancel-
lor's methods seem destined to avoid
some of those erratic, Irritating, even
offensive, features of German foreign
policy which from time to time dis
turbed Germany's neighbors during
Prince Buelow's CHARACTERISTIC.
A beginning in this era of new tao
tics in foreign policy was given pub
licity by Count John Bernstorff's re-
cent speeches in America. The Ger
man Ambassador did not deliver these
speeches on his own initiative, but the
utterances reflected Herr Won Beth.
mann-Hollweg' opinions. In parti-
cular, Count John Bernstorff's speech
denouncing the pane Germans exactly
reproduced the chancellor's views.
This utterance marks departure
from Prince Buelow's methods, for
the ex-chancellor coquetted with the
pan Germans, whose agitation on
more tsan one occasion pioneered his
own aggressive and, to neighboring
powers, irritating policy.
Herr Won Bethmann-Hoilweg, wish
ing to avoid Prince Buelow's policy
of pugnacious tendencies, repndiates
all connection with the pam Germans.
He regards them as menace to peace,
and in this respect the new chancellor
has the full, unqualified support of
the kaiser, who has expressed warm
approval OF Count Bernstorff' S
speeches in America.
The kaiser following the advice of
fered to him by the chancellor, intends
publicly to indicate his approval OF
Count John Bernstorff's utterances

FATAL WRECK
Two Instantly Killed. Fast Oma.
ha Passenger Collides With
Freight Standing on the
Siding.
Train Through Switch.

Two st. Paul men we're killed and a
dozen others sustained injuries in a
collision between the west-bound flyer
on the Belle PLANE division of the
Omaha railroad and an incoming
freight train at Blakely, Mimi, at
1929 O'Clock Sunday afternoon. The
dead are j. Zinneil, fireman of the
passenger train and Thorwald Tor
genson, railway mail clerk. Twelve
were seriously injured and taken to
st. Luke,s hospital, st. Paul Four
other mail clerks and sixteen passen-
gers we're not burt so badly as to
necessitate their removal to hospitals.
Brakeman F. w. Hermann of the
freight train is said to be responsible
for this accident. He left the switch
thrown open, which caused the fast
passenger train to run from tie main
line onto the sidetrack where the
freight train was waiting to let it 90
by. Less than a minute later the flying
passenger train had crashed into the
freight and two men were dead while
dozen others were injured.
Az extra freight on the Omaha rail-
road had stopped at the sidetrack to
allow regular freight to pass. Fol-
lowing the freight was the passenger
and the freight crew had been ordered
to await its arrival there. Every body
understood the orders but Hermann
forgot.

The Necessity of Meat Inspection

Rumor has it that recently one of
our butchers was approached by a
party Offering COW which he wanted
to sell him because he felt that the
animal was not as we'll as it might be
and wanted to dispose Of it for that
reason. The meat merchant promptly
and emphatically refused to buy it at
any price. L IS to be hoped that his
efforts to dispose of the COW was
equally as unsuccessful with the rest
OF our local butchers. This clrcum-
stance would suggest in the most en-
phatic manner the necessity of meat
Inspection. Under the present high
prices Of meats the community should
at least have the assurance of receiv-
ing wholesome and sound meats.

RURAL SCHOOL TEACHERS
Are Not Fit for Calling and are
deficient in many Respects.
So Says State Superin.
tendent. Should be
given Special
Course.

T According to G. G. Schulz, state
superintendent of public instruction,
rural school teachers are not capable
of rendering the service which their
duties require of them. Most of them,
he says, are high school graduates
who are taken from the atmosphere of
the city schcolreom and placed at
work, without any special training,
amidst surroundings that render eff
cient service practically impossible.
Mr.. Schulz does not blame the
teachers for conditions OF this kind,
but is emphatic when he states that a
remedy is urgently needed. Accus-
ktomed to the activities and excitement
of city life, they grow tired quickly Of
the monotony of existence in the
country. One result is that they do
not take much interest in their work,
and they give the pupils entrusted to
them inefficient service.
In his address before the monthly
meeting of the schoolmasters' associa-
ton, Mr.. Schulz declared that students
in city high schools who proposed to
spend some time teaching in the rural
schools, should be given a special
course during the last year of their
high school careers, and as much as
possible familiarized with conditions
! and things existing in the country.
Mr.. Schulz strongly favored the ex-
tension of manual training and indus
trial departments in high schools.
Incidentally, he favored utilization OF
schools for the purpose Of more effec-
tive service in these two branches, and
cited the school at Cokato, which has
nine country schools working with ii
as an example of what can be accom-
plished by cooperation.

THE ADVANCE IN COTTON.

Yesterday the price of middlinr cot. ton advanced to IA 1-16 cents, Inc highest price at which cotton has sold at this season of the year since soon after the Civil War.
 The explanation of this high price IS 10 be found In the short crop grown thls season, and in nothing else.
 The demand for cotton from the world at large has steadily grown in recent years, until it is now estimated that at least 13.000.000 bales are an. nnally needed to meet the worlds consumption.
 The yield of the present season Will fall short at least 2.O00. GOO bales or that figure and very nearly 5000. VO0 bales of the crop of the preceeo- Ing year, hence the cotton manufac- turing trade is confronted with a scar city Of raw material such as h has not faced In very many years.
 In order to meet requirements the mills will have 10 draw on their re- serve stocks almost to the last bale In addition to spinning the available commercial supply, so that three is every promise that the present com. mercial year will end with more complete exhaustion of cotton stoeks than has ever been known.
 With cotton at II cents ana over almost at the commencement of the season there is nothing either extraor dinary or illogical in the anlicipanon of l5 cents for middling cotton. and even much higher figure would seem 10 be justified later on by the scarcity of supplies, which now seems ineyIt. able
 Naturally, the mills of the world cannot consume more raw cotton than is available and short time will have perforce to be resorted to as the sea. sen advances.
 There is, therefore, nothing very alarming from a price standpoint in the closing down of some southern mills at the present time, as the cot ton they would have consumed will be promptly absorbed by other mills which will thus be able to work that much longer
 Since there is not enough cotton 70 20 around under normal conditions the competition among the mills will steedily advance prices until a point has been reached when enforced short time must ensue either through the exhaustion of supplies or through the fact that manufactured goods have not advanced with sufficient fapidity to leave margin of profit between inc finished product and the raw ma serlal
 Just when that point will be reach cd is difficult problem to forecast as there are some mills that can run prontably at figures that would mean bankruptcy to others.
 1t is evident, however, that the max imum has not yet been obtained by any means, as the demand for raw cotton for export continues as brisk as ever, notwithstanding that IA cents has been reached, and there is nc in- dlcalion that the export demand will rIarlxa,, in tho near future
