Dropped Dead in Field.-Mr. Matthew
Schaefer, aged IS years, veteran ofthe Franco
Prussian War and recipient of the iron cross
for bravery on the field OF battle, died sud-
denly on Thursday, September 8, at his home,
near Hyde, Long Green Valley, of heart fail
ure He was in the field with his 3-vear-old
grandson, whom he was leading by the hand,
when he suddenly dropped to the ground, and,
it is supposed, expired at once. The boy ran
to the house, some distance away, and told his
father that "Grandpa fell down." Mr.. George
]. Smith, the son-in-law, hurried to the field,
but found Mr.. Schaefer dead and an investi :
CATION by physician showed that heart disease
was the cause.
Mr. Schaefer was the owner of the farm on
which he died, having owned it for the last II
years Besides his widow and son-in-law, he
left the latter's wife and one grapdchild. He
was one of the oldest members of Germania

Outlook for Hay.-According to the Bal
timore Daily Produce Report continued dry
weather and its effect upon grass and the hay
crop have been such that the nearby crop has
and much less clover mixed than usual.
This makes it almost certain that the Eastern
markets will have to look to the West for hay
supplies during the next few months.

LEPROSY AT GRANITE FALLS
Three Cases Reported.

Two weeks ago we stated in these
columns that there were several cases
of leprosy in Yellow Medicine county.
Thursday last Dr. Stoddard of Beaver
Falls, brought to Granite Falls a
man who lives half mile out of
Sacred Heart who has had the disease
for over four years, and a consulta-
ton of physicians was held to de-
termine whether or not it was case
of leprosy, DR.. LaRue, OF Appelton,
and DR.. Rogers, of Montevideo, being
present. The physicians were salts
fed that it was case of leprosy.
Photographs of the man were taken,
and one, with the history of the case,
was sent to Prof. Phiffard, of New
York, specialist. While here DIR.
Stoddard visited man living in the
town of Sannes who has had the
disease SO long that his fingers had
fallen off, and he is reduced to mere
skeleton. There is another case in
Stony Run, making three in all within
a radius of ten miles of Granite Falls.

st. Peter for Separate Monu-
ment. Neighboring Towns
Enthusiastically in Favor
of Plan.
Contributions Received by Review.

A movement was started in st. Peter
looking toward the erection of mon
ument over the grave of Gov. John A.
Johnson in Green Hill cemetery. At
a meeting of citizens committee, con-
sisting of Mayor Philip Dick, H. ].
Essler, Gov. Johnson's former part
ner; George W. Mason, president of
the St. Peter Commercial club; Fl. L.
Stark, president of the Nicollet Coun-
ty bank, and Henry Moll, judge of
probate of Nicollet county, was named
to secure subscriptions to the noun
ment fund. Mayor Dick was elected
chrirman of the committee, Mr.. Essler
secretary and Mr.. Stark treasurer.
Within few minutes after the com
mittee was appointed over 800 had
been placed in the hands of Mr.. Stark,
the first subscription coming from Ru-
dolph W. Schimmel, a former st.
Peter man now living in Minneapolis.
Popular subscriptions will he solicit
ted by the comEaittee, but they will
not be limited in size. The purpose
of the committee is to raise fund for
the purpose of erecting a monument in
st. Peter. tits notintended to Interfere
. in any way with the creation OF a fund
for johnson memorial in st. Paul,
but fellow townsmen of the late COVER
. nor feel that shaft should be erected
in his native city to commemorate his
life and deeds.
Having been requested to join in
this movement we will state that we
heartily endorse it and open the col
umns of the Review to contributions.
1t seems fit and appropriate that those
who have known the governor so init
mately and loved him so we'll, should
Join hands in contributing to the erec-
tion of a beautiful monument to be
placed on his last resting place in his
b ONE city at St. Peter. We are also
requested by the Pioneer Press, St.
Paul, to ''solicit contributions to a
fitting memorial to the late John A.
Johnson to be erected in the capitol
city," The columns of the Review are
likewise open to contributions for a
monument at St. Paul. We would
suggest, however, that contributors
state explicitly to which fund their
amount is to go: St. Peter Or St. Paul.
It seems but natural, however, that

towards erecting an appropriate mon
ument at ST.. Peter. A pardon able
local pride which is readily under
stood and appreciated by all.
From week to week the Review will
make proper acknowledgements of all
contribute ons received at this office.

New Ulm and the Governors Fun
eral.

General dissatisfaction is prevailing
throughout the city of New Ulm be-
cause of what is considered the pecu-
liar management on the side of Adjt
Genl. Wood of the affairs attending
the funeral of the late Governor John
A. Johnson at st. Peter. It seems to
have been a foregone conclusion not
only with the people of our city but
also of st. Peter that as a matter of
fact Co. A should have been officially
invited to participate. This is also
true of Go. K of Mankato, it being so
close to the Governors home and there
being so many ties which closely
linked him to these True,

Fleet of United States.

Long before the official ceremonies
OF the first day of the Hudson-Fulton
celebration were begun 500 vessels OF
every type from ocean liner to motor
boat, waited in the lower bay for the
signal starting them in procession
abont the ten miles of warships at
anchor in the Hudson.
Every craft was decked with flags
and bunting and every band in the
vicinity of New York had been en-
gagged to provide music for the hun
dreds of thousands of persons who
were to make the circuit of the inter-
national armeda on those boats.
Estimates as to. the number OF
visitors IN the city vary from i, 900, OOo
to 100000. 1t was expected by the
police that 100000 persons would
witness the day and night naval
pageants.
All authorities agree that a new
figure for immense crowds has been
set by the celebration. Chicago day
at the Worlds Columbian exposition
has held the record for an inclosed
assemblage with upward of 700, 600
persons in the grounds at one time.
The Dewey parade here was witnessed
by crowd of 5000, 600 persons.

boards latest report, just issued,
shows that pauperism in England con-

sufficient water supply? You can not
tell; the Planters Association does
no. know; no one knows. Of this l
am sure, because this question is one
of the first that l asked when [ came
to the Territory. The statistician of
the Planters Association informed me
that no attempt had ever been made
to gather such information. The fact
illustrates one popularity that | have
noted repeatedly during my visit here.
1t is that the people here are SO ae-
customed to success that they fail to
appreciate the value of failure and of
negative results. So it is that no one
knows what the sugar failure has been
in Hawaii, or at least that portion of
it due to ignorance concerning water
resources. Yet, in travelling over the
Territory, significant cases occasional
ly appear. / know, for example, a
place where one million dollars was ex-
pended in sugar plantation before
they found that the only obstacle to
success was lack of water. [ know
another plantation in which the short
age last year, because of lack of water,
was 5000 tons of sugar, and the pros
pective shortage for this year will be
10000 tons. | know another planta-
ton where last years shortage was
5000 tons. I have not visited all the
plantations. Ny inquiries concerning
losses were necessarily limited 70 a
few But, taking all these facts and
conditions into consideration. it is clear
that sugar failure in Hawaii during
the average year must be far greater
than lie casual inIi.er would I'M
agine.
I have introduced my subject in this
way because it is important that your
first impressions of the water resources
investigations now being started
should be those of a ghtforward,
bottom, business transaction,
worthy of your interest and support
as business men.
Even had not the need for informa-
ton concerning water supplies already
been felt in the Territory, the future
alone would render an investigation es-
sential. In the development of the
agricultural industry here, there has
been a fairly large amount of elbow
room. Only now and then have you
FLASHED into dispute over water sup
plies. If one man has not had suf-
feient water for his crops, the reason
has not usually been that some other
man is tapping his source of supply.
But the Territory is growing. You all
expect it to increase manifold in pro-
duetivity. Every new field imposes a
new demand on The available water of
the Territory. Questions as to the most
beneficial use of water viii wax acute.
Information concerning the capacity of
sources of supply will be worth a mil
lion-foId more than the cost of procur-
ing it. The point is, however, that it
takes time to procure this information,
and if the Territory is caught without
it on the day that it becomes essential
