strike is said to have the sanction of
the national and district officers of
the miners union.

NOW WHAT Do YOU THINK OF THIS
St. James People Have an Idea
They Can Take Lutheran Col.
leSe Away From New
Ulm.

The St. James Plaindealer, in re-
porting a business meeting of the st.
James Commercial Club; gives us SEN
sational news as follows:
The president reported that the
German Lutheran College at New
Ulm had outgrown it's quarters there
and that majority of its board of
directors were in favor of moving it
to some other city. It was thought
that if the proper efforts were made
the board of directors could be
induced to locate the college in st.
James. R. H. Burns and W. Rem
pei were appointed a special commit
tee from the club to attend the meeting
of the synod at Aberdeen in April to-
extend strong invitation on behalf
of the city of st. James to have the
college locate here. Another meeting
will be held in June and at the final
conference meeting in August the mat
ter will be definitely decided. 1t is
proposed to make a strong effort to
get the latter conference to meet in
St. James. It is believed that St.
James can offer better inducements
and facilities for the location of the
college than any other city"
The Review has been unable to
learn, either from the resident direc-
| tors or the members of the faculty,
that there is disposition in any
quarter to carry out the scheme of re-
moval so strongly limited at in this re.
port.
t Prof. Alderman, the college direc-
tor, knew absolutely nothing of the
existence of such a sentiment and did
not believe the story had the slightest
foundation in fact.
Nevertheless he said it behooved
the people of New Ulm to be on the
, lookout. Very little attention had
been paid to the institution by the
city of New Ulm of late years and he
knew of instances where such neglect
had resulted in the removal of even
larger schools than the one in ques-
ton.
In the opinion Of the Review there
are few things possessed by New Ulm
at the present time which it can afford
to lose and the college is not one O.
Them: It becomes the duty of our bust
ness men, therefore, to get busy a2c
put an end to all thought of removal
if such thought really exists any
where.

from the state auditors books, as the
aid does not pass under his eye in any
way, but is paid directly by the feder-
al government to the states military
department.
Some time ago, the house committee
on appropriations felt desire to
know about that federal appropria-
ton. Though no suspicion of i'm
proper use of the funds has been ex-
pressed, it was thought that the gov
eminent aid should be taken into con-
sideration in making the usual state
appropriation of Sl20,000 a year.
Moreover, Gen. Wood has asked for
an increase in the allowance to his
department.
He recently informed the committee
that he would have an expert, Major
Hart of ST. Paul, make an exhaustive
report, but up to noon yesterday no
such accounting had been made.

VOTERS MAKE CLEAN SWEEP
Yesterdays City Election Was
Something of Landslide.
Old Members of the Council De
feated In Every Ward.
Pfaender, in the Third, the Only
One to Make Anything of a
Showing.

Yesterdays election contest in New
Ulm certainly produced its surprises.
While many were willing to admit
that the outcome would be close,
there were none on either side who
were prepared for the actual results.
In the First ward Herman Nagel,
the present incumbent, received only
1l8 votes, whereas his opponent, Frank
c. Schnobrich, an entirely new figure
in city politics, managed to corral
1856. This makes the second defeat
Nagel, the old First ward war horse,
has sustained within a year.
In the Second warn Wicherski, once
appointed and twice elected, is showed
under by Theo. Mueller, the cigar
manufacturer, to the tune of 273 to 81.
Fred Pfaender in the Third made
the only respectable showing of all
the candidates for reelection and he
too was beaten. The vote stood:
Pfaender, 1877; Gieseke, 100. It is the
same majority by which Pfaender was
once beaten for register Of deeds, the
only other time, in fact, which proved
fatal to him at the polls.

PROnIBS MAKE ODD DISCOVERY
Find Old Indian Treaties Making
Liquor Selling in Most of
Minnesota Illegal.

Liquor selling, licensed or unli-
censed, is illegal in Minneapolis and
in nearly all of Minnesota under trea-
ties made with the Indians in 1851,
1855 and 1868.
This startling claim is made by the
prohibitionist state committee, which
also makes the claim that two-thirds
of Minnesota will be forced to go
"drY" unless congress comes to the
rescue and does away with the old
treaty provisions.
The claim is technically good, &C.
cording to G. G. Houpt, United States
district attorney, and other federal
officials. In fact, it is we'll established
by court decisions. The old treaties
are still in force, and they prohibit the
sale of liquor in any of the lands
coded by the Indians. Minneapolis
lies in the tract of 100000 acres
coded in 1851 by the treaty of Traverse
DIES Sioux.
The trouble with the prohibitionist
claim is that enforcement of the treat
les lies entirely with the Indian bureau
as matter of policy, and the depart.
ment is not interested in Minneapolis,
but only in territory known as "Indi.
an country" Minneapolis Journal,

The next day they were brought to
New Ulm by Sheriff Julius and lodged
in the county jail.
Yesterday morning they appeared
in Judge Henningsen' S court to answer
to the charge of larceny, but as had
been predicted they waived the read
ing Of the complaint and asked for a
continuance to Friday. This was
granted.
County Attorney Erickson appeared
at the opening scene as representative
of the state and Eckstein & Funk as
attorneys for the defendant.
The prisoners appeared not the least
worried over the predicamenti in which
they have been placed and with smil-
ing faces refused to say anything for
publication.
They certainly have mastered, in
addition to the art of clairvoyancy,
the art of keeping their own counsel.

BURGLARS MAKE GOOD HAUL
Enter Ochs Bros Store at Night
and Help Themselves to $50
Worth of Silks.
Entrance Apparently Effected
Through Minnesota Street
Door With Skeleton Key.

The drygoods store of Ochs Bros.
was entered by thieves some time be-
tween Monday evening and Tuesday
morning and robbed of silk patterns
valued by Mr.. Ochs at not less than
$3.50. The thieves evidently under
stood their business thoroughly, Mr..
Ochs says, for they took their pick of
the silks on the shelves and with pos
sibly one exception made no mistake
in Judgment.
The discovery that robbery had
been committed was made by Mr..
Ochs himself yesterday morning.
When he entered the store shortly
after breakfast he noticed burned
matches strewn along the floor between
the shelves and the counters and then
he observed almost Immediately that
some of his stock had been disturbed.
Closer inspection showed that's everal of
the best pieces of silk goods in the
store had been made away with.
A close examination of the doors,
windows and cellar was then made and
Mr.. Ochs became convinced that the
burglars effected their entrance
through the Minnesota street door
with the aid of a skeleton key. This
door was locked when the first clerk
put in his appearance yesterday NOR
ming.
Charles Klein's greatest work, "The
Lion and the Mouse" comes to the

excellence in the drama. It has been

of many, since play has been pro-
duced that has won the universal
praise shown this drama, and the fact
thatit is based on existing conditions
in the lives of some of our money
kings of today makes it stronger in
commanding the attention of those in
all walks of life. Henry B. Harris

W0ULD,KNOW WHERE MONEY WENT
Investigation to be Made as to How
Federal Aid to State Militia
is Expended.

The lower house of the state legisla-
ture, according to one report, is feel
ing great deal of curiosity as to
what is. being done by Adjutant Cen
.eral Wood with the states share of
the federal government contribution
of aid to the national guard. Under the
Dick bill, about 50, 900. 0oois apportion-
ed annually among the states in the
shape of money and military supplies.
Minnesota's share, on modest caIcu-
lation, is at least $40, 600 a year. For
the past four years, this money has
been received by Gen Wood, but no
official report has ever been made by
him in regard to it.

TO and one on "Gall Stone Diseases"
by DR.. Holbrook, also of Mankato.
In addition to these Drs. Andrews and
Liedlof talked entertainingly of the
typhoid epidemic in Mankato last
year.
The most important matter, aside
from the election of officers, taken up
at the business session was the adop-
ton of resolution favoring plan
whereby all members of the State
Medical association will be assessed
81 annually for the creation of a fund
for the defense of malpractice suits
which may be brought against any
member of the association.
The election of officers for the
