LASHES KAISER FOR SPENDING
Berlin Editor Charges that Emper.
or Has Long Lived Beyond
Ills Means.

For more than twenty years En-
peror William has been living beyond
his MEANS" says the Vossische Zeit-
ung, paper which is by no possible
means sensational or socialistic, but,
on the contrary, is one so conserv a.
tive and staid that it has long had the
nickname 'sAuntie Viss," because of
it's at times rather exaggerated care
fulness.
What no radical paper would have
dared few years ago, practically ac-
cusing the head of the German nation
of being reckless squanderer. who
cannot make both ends meet on an in
come of $1,000, 900 year, the most
conservative paper of the country now
prints without as much as blush.
Times have indeed changed in Ger
many an5 the lion has had its claws
shorn. No charge of any kind will
be made against the editor, who has
stated a fact thai is so much more
grave as not only did W1ll1am'S pre-
decessors get along on the same in
come but his grandfather, William I. ].
even managed to save up. the snug
little sum of 100000, a consider
able part of which has also vanished
through the present emperor's fingers.
One may imagine what the kaiser
feels when the radical papers 1emind
him that President Roosevelt, the
head Of an at least equally great ma
tions receives no more than 500, 900,
and has no secret national funds to
fall back upon, no castles to sell.
Since the present kaiser assembled
the throne the expenditure has been
growing all the time, and it is stated
that there has of late been consider
able annual deficit. The kaiser's
journeys form one of the principal
reasons of excessive expenditure, as
they involve very heavy costs.

High School Notes.

A poultry show at the opera house
will prevent any game of basketball
being played there next Friday, but
unless something unforeseen happens
the girls team will play game at
Sleepy Eye. 1t is to be hoped that a
congenial relation may be established
between the two schools through the
medium of this game.
A spirited game was played Satur-
day between the second teams of the
high school and college. The high
school bunch won with score of 26
to %.
The first half of the school year
ends next Friday and at that time all
the half-year subjects will have been
completed. Most of the subjects run
through the whole year, but there are
some that do not. Included in this
list are higher algebra, commercial
geography, commercial arithmetic,
senior history, physiology and Ameri.
can government. The second half.
year begins the following Monday
and then the following new courses
will be taken up: Solid geometry,
physical geography, botany, econ.
nomics, senior grammer and arith.
metic. All other studies will be con.
tinued without any break just as il
the year were not divided into two
parts.

new ULM'S POULTRY SHOW
Second Annual Exhibit OF Local
Poultry Association to Begin
Next Friday.
Fully Five Hundred Birds, it is
Expected, Will be Entered in
the Big Competition.
Stereoptican Lecture Sunday Night
and Interesting Poultry Insti-
tute the Following Evening.

The second annual exhibit of the
New Ulm Poultry Association
promises to be the biggest thing of
its kind ever pulled off in the Mime
sofa valley. Those who were at the
Mankato show last week are not slow
in asserting that even that successful
venture will be equalled, if not out
classed.
Secretary Setter says most of the
birds exhibited there will be brought
here and furthermore he secured the
promise in Minneapolis few days
ago of exhibits by some of the largest
breeders in the state. These will come
largely from ST. Paul, Minneapolis
and Winona.
The show is advertised to start on
the 22nd, but that implies of course
one day for making entries and
arranging the pens. To the public the
big exhibit will not be open until
Saturday afternoon at two O'Clock.
Once started it is expected that there
will be steady stream of visitors,
morning, afternoon and evening, until
the show closes on the night of the
Goth.
Last year the exhibit was held in a
store building, but this year in, order
to accommodate the looked-for in
crease in entries and attendance, it is
to be held in the opera house.
Every evening there will be special
attra ctions to draw the crowds. For
example on Sunday evening the
scoring judge will give an illustrated
lecture showing just how birds are
scored and pointing out to breeders
the secret Of picking prize winners for
exhibition at poultry shows. Follow
ing this lecture there will be muf
contest OR boxing match between pit
game cocks.
On Monday evening the association
has arranged for a poultry Institute
at which prominent members of the
American Poultry Association will
deliver instructive lectures on how to
raise, feed and take care of poultry.
To arouse interest among owners of
poultry the association has offered as
prizes two silver cups, one silver
medal, numerous diplomas and a
great variety of special premiums, in
Guiding Zero drinking fountain.
The silver cups, which were offered by
some poultry journal, are now or
exhibition in the windows of the City
Drug Store.

If the 1000, 900 COWS in the state of
Minnesota were all in the butter pro-
ducing business, the quantity of butter
produced would be tremendous and
would food the market. The dairy

duction of the state for the ten years
intervening between 1897 and 1907.
The amount of butter produced in
these ten years was zoe, 0oo, 600 pounds.

STATUSOf SLEEPY EYE MlLLlNGCO.
Trustee will Probably be Appointed
to Take Over its Property.

The "Modern Miller of st. Louis
of this week furnishes the only infor-
nation that has leaked out in the last
few days regarding the Sleepy Eye
Milling company's affairs. The 'sMo-
dern Miller says:
"a meeting of the creditors of the
Sleepy Eye Milling Co. was held in
Minneapolis Jan. IA. Eight of the
principal creditors were present, re-
presenting two-thirds of the indebted
ness, but owing to the absence OF one
of the largest creditors in Chicago, no
action was taken.
1T is stated that the present embar-
rassmen5 of the Sleepy Eye. Milling
Co. is due to some of the banks refus-
ing to renew their notes. Mercantile
agencies estimate the liabilities at
SI4S 200. with assets, of country ele-
vators, stocks and accounts, of S7I2,-
600. It IS stated that the mills are not
included in this. estimate of the assets.
No reeeiyership has been applied for
and the creditors. 1t is expected, will
cooperate for trusteeship, so that
reorganization may be arranged pos
sib1y similar to that of the Pilisbury
company It is asserted that the as
sets are ample to cover all indebted
ness.
THE mill is still in operation and
should an understanding with the
creditors be arranged, it is likely that
the present embarrassing situation
may be cleared up.

Carl Ahrendt, an actor and author
of note and an intimate friend OF
many New Ulm families, particularly
the Scherers and Pfaenders, died at
Greenville, Miss, week ago Mon
day while on a tour with James K.
Hackett in ssThe Prisoner of Zenda.'
In the early days Mr.. Ahrendt con-
Quoted hardware store in St. Paul
and, being possessed of an imposing
figure, a resonant, sympathetic voice,
excellent literary taste and unusual
oratorical ability, frequently ap-
peared as an actor at amatuer
theatricals and as an orator at
gatherings OF Turner's and other
Germans. He also paid frequent
visits to New Ulm. In 1873 he began
the stage career wherein he notably
succeeded. His personality, talent
and prediction associated him with
the higher branches of the drama, and
he supported in various important
roles such artists as Lawrence Bar
rett, Thomas Keene. Edwin Booth
and Tomasso Salvini At one time
he was associated with Richard Mans
field, for whom he directed the stage
during that stars memorable pro-
duction of "Julius Caesar" So
favorably did Mr.. Ahrendt become
known to his compatriots on both
sides of the sea that he was appointed,
during Cleveland's administration, to
serve, for a period, as the acting
American consul-general in Berlin.
If there is to be a reapportionment
of legislative districts this year, SEN
ator Clague favors reducing the mem
bership of both houses. He finds hat
it will be hard to make fair appor-
tionment without cutting many coun-
ties in two. Based on the present
number of senator's the southern coun-
ties are too small for separate dis
tricts, and two of them combined
would make the district too large I'M
less larger ratio is taken. ST have
no axe to grind says Senator Clague,
''for my district is neither due to lose
nor gain, and I am not coming back
anyway. do believe we will get bet
ter apportionment if we reduce the sem
ate to about fifty three, and the house to
about twice that number. We will get
our legislative work done in better
shape, also.' Senator johnson of
Nicollet county is emphatically op-
posed to reapportionment bill of any
kind. .w.a

MARKET NEWS.
NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York. Nov. 20-The decision of the United States circuit court at St. Paul against the Standard oil Com. pany of New Jersey declaring that corporation Illegal and ordering it's dissolution, was one of the great feat. ures of today's stock msrket.
 The news evidently was most unex- pected and had the effect of turning a very active and strong market into one of extreme weakness. The impor- lance of the decision and it's far reach ing possibilities was freely acknowl. edged by officials of the corporation concerned, who hastened to add. how ever, that the case would be promptly taken to the court of last resort in accordance with an agreement entered in some time ago between the govern mnt and the defendants.
 Announcement of the decision came. in the second hour of the brief ses- sion. There had previously been a resumption of the recent activity in various specialties, including the cop per shares.
 There were spectacular moves in other stocks of the same group, but the usual speculative issues were in- clined to imegularity.
 With the first word from St. Paul there ensued a general selling move ment, which, at times, bordered on demonalization. There was some in- dication of rally in the final trad ing, but this was offset by further liquidation and the close was weak.
 Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value, $1,573,000.
