FIRE in GEBSER BUILDING
Sunday Morning Blaze Checked in
Time to Prevent Great Loss.
Building Slightly Damaged and
Clothing Company's Stock
Suffers from Smoke.

Fire broke out in the basement of
the Gebser building on Minnesota
street sometime Sunday morning but
was not discovered until volumes of
smoke issued from the windows and
filled the Railways shortly before eie-
ven O'Clock. Then the fire alarm was
sounded and in half an hour it was all
over.
So dense was the smoke in the in
terror of the building that DR.. Bell,
who occupied suite of Offices on the
second floor, found it necessary to
make his exit through a window and
down a ladder furnished by the de-
partment.
Just how the fire started no one
knows. The supposition is that some
employee of the Columbia Clothing
Co. carelessly dropped alight of some
Kind while chopping kindling wood in
the basement, and that from this the
FIRE spread to heap of waste paper
and boxes, but be that as it may the
flames gradually worked their way
through the floor into the hallway
above. Here they did considerable
damage to the stairway and walls, but
at no time did they find their way into
the store or into any of the rooms on
the floor above. The Ere department.
succeeded in extinguishing them before
they had made much progress and
whatever damage was done to the store
stock resulted entirely from smoke.
This stock was owned by the Colum-
bia Clothing Co. and was valued at
$4,000. On this they carried Sl3, 1000
of insurance and the proprietors esti-
mate their loss at anywhere from S., 900
to $4,000. They say they will be I'M
| able to determine the exact extent of
the damage done until the adjusters
have completed their work.
Mr.. Gebser's loss is probably in the
neighborhood of $1,000, but may be
more, depending entirely upon what
repairs may be necessary in the base
ment.
The rooms on the second floor which
were occupied by the Knights OF Pythi-
as and DR.. Bell suffered little or no
damage. -....--
| Both Mr. Katz and Mr.. Zschunke of
the Columbia Clothing Co. arrived
from Mankato Sunday afternoon to
| look after their interests.

To Horse! To Horse!

What portentious report is this that
comes up from Georgia?
Is it true that the president-to-be,
has been extolling the virtues of the
unmarried life; that he has been ap-
plauding the woman who chooses to
remain single and take no part in the
great work of multiplying the earth;
that, in short, he has been making
public speeches avowing his convic-
ton that the lot of the old maid is
just as commendable, just as happy,
if not more SO, than that of the woman
whose hand rocks the world by means
of the cradle?
This being the case and the Asso-
ciated Press is authority for the as
sertiOn that it is-how are we to re-
concile it to the theory that the presi-
dent-to-be is to carry out the policies
of the president-that-is?
Was not the campaign of Judge
Taft made on the profession that "my
policies" were to be his policies?
Was he not chosen by Mr.. Roosevelt
because, of all men, he was regarded
as the one best qualified, both by
ability and desire, to carry out those
policies?
And yet he has not the grace to wait
until he has been indicted into the.
Office before he repudiates one of the.
most cherished of those policies!
What is to happen as the news OF
this reaches the White House, no,
mortal tongue can say. It would not
be too lively imagination to predict
that the president will clap on his
spurs and start for Georgia instanterr-
that he will spurn the railway as too.
slow and vault into the saddle AND
away before a special train could pull
out of the shed.
And in that event may the Lord
have mercy upon Rixey and Butt if
they attempt to keep in hearing of his:

HAMMOND BOOM ON AT CAPITOL
Leading Democrats Said to be
Strongly in Favor of Congress
mans Nomination for
Governor.

The following is the substance of a
Washington special to the Minneapo-
lis Journal:
"Leading democrats in congress
are taking quite shine to Represen-
tative Hammond of the Minnesota
Second district, and they are saying
rather openly that they hope the Min
nesota democrats will nominate him
for the governorship in 1910.
''Mr. Hammond has proved to be a
very good mixer in congress, and on
the democratic side of the chamber
especially he is popular. The demo-
Gratis in congress are hoping that Min
nesota may some day become doubt
full on presidential questions, and it
is for this reason that they want the
party in the state to continue to ncmi-
nate winning candidates for governor.
'They do not see how Governor
johnson can run again; indeed, they
believe that he would decline a fourth
nomination, should it be offered.
This means, in their judgment, that
some new man must be taken up, and
they are already figuring out the pos
sibilities, having in view, of course,
not the local situation, but the larger
national one.
ssWhile the democrats are thus
figuring to some extent on Mr.. Ham
mond, there is quite sentiment here,
among republicans outside the dele
cation, to pick Ripley Brewer of st.
Cloud as the next republican candi-
date for governor. The republicans
down here who discuss the situation
say that Brewer can be elected, and
that is high time the Minnesota re-
publicans were putting up winner

YOUNG LOVER WAS TILTED
BrOOded Over His Misfortune and
Then Tried to End All With a
Tragedy.
Revolver Failed to Work, and
Young Man Was Taken in
Charge by Authorities.

A love affair in the little village of
Springfield, in which the principals
were a youth of ''sweet sixteen and a
damsel, who long ago reached her ma
jority, and in which the closing scenes
bordered on the tragic, is thus reported
10. the Springfield Advance:
"The love-making had been carried
on for some time, when all of a sud-
den there was misunderstanding.
The young wooer was Tilted and felt
badly, very badly over the breach be-
tween himself and his hearts desire.
'sHe brooded over the matter and
finally decided to end it all in a high
ly tragic manner. Purchasing a re-
lvolver-one Of large calibre, guaran-
teed to shoot six times in rapid sue
cession, providing the trigger was
pulled often enough, and likewise
guaranteed to do a killing provided a
reasonably good aim was taken, he
repaired to his room, where, after
causing considerable commotion, he
caused the lady of the house to be
startled by the loud report of a revol-
yer in one of the upstairs rooms. In
vestigation proved that a huge, ugly
looking gun was in the hands of the
love-sick youth, but that his aim had
been bad, and that, instead of be-
coming imbedded in some vital part
of his anatomy, the bullet found
Judgment in the plaster.
A hurry call was sent to Marshal
j lack Forster, who escorted the youth
to the Office of the county attorney,
where he was given an opportunity to
explain the reasons for his unbecom-
ing conduct. Following this the gun
was confiscated and the youth himself
advised to return to his home in Iowa.
He departed on the next passenger. =

Sleepy Eye Milling Company's
Difficulties Reach Critical Stage.
Creditors Petition for Hearing and
are Granted One in Federal
Circuit Court.
Judge Purdy Names Louis X. Hull,
Minneapolis Attorney: to take
Over Property.
Expert Accountants Place Assets
at S1,3OO,OOO and Liabilities
at 100000.

Involuntary bankruptcy proceed
ings against the Sleepy Eye Milling
company were begun with the appoint
ment of Louis K. Hull, Minneapolis
attorney, as receiver after a hearing
before Judge Purdy of the federal
circuit court in Minneapolis Saturday
afternoon.
Among the petitioning creditors
were the First National Bank of st.
Paul and the Security and German
American banks of Minneapolis. A
report by a firm of expert accountants
gave the assets of the Sleepy Eye
company as 81, 300, 900, and it's liabili-
ties as 500, 1000.
Though the hearing was held in
Minneapolis, the papers in the case
are understood to have been filed in
st. Paul. It is the announced intent
of the creditors seeking the receiver.
ship to keep the mill running, that
there may be no deterioration through
the loss OF trade and good will. To
this end Receiver Hull will take over
the property at once.

The Presidents Warning.

The other day the president vetoed a
bill authorizing the building OF dam
across a little river in Missouri. He
said that the bill granted 3 valuable
franchise in water power without pro-
perly safeguarding the rights Of the
people.
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1909-01-27

The veto message was sensational in
the picture that it drew of future So
cial slavery, threatened by the mono
poly of water power.
Says Mr.. Roosevelt: ga single geo.
GRAFTON will see the exhaustion of our
natural resources of oil and gas and
such a rise in the price of coal as will
make the price of electrically trans
mitted water power controlling fac
tor in transportation, in manufacture
ing and in household lighting and
heating
The idea thus presented will come
with shock of surprise to most peo-
pie. Everybody understands, of course,
that the electrical transmission of wa
ter power is an important factor of
life in certain parts of the world. We
have heard much of the engineering
feats that have harnessed the energy
Of turbulent streams in the Sierras OF
California to the street cars of Oak
land and San Jose. And the develop
ment of the long-distance water power
-''white COAL" as the Indians call it
is the most striking aspect of modern
industrialism in Northern Italy. But
people in general are hardly prepared
for the statement of the president that
within a generation this matter OF
generating electricity out of the flow
and fall of streams will be the princi-
pal consideration of industrial and do
nestle economy.
The remarkable veto message goes
on to warn us not to let this staple
commodity of the future fall into the
hands of consolidated money power.
If we do not now jealousy guard the
public interest in the streams, he says,
"our children will find themselves face
to face with powerful interests in
trenched behind the doctrine of vested
rights" and the administration OF
electrical water power twill have be-
come aconsolidatedi interest, controlled
