ACCIDENT WITH SERIOUS RESULT.

While starting fire in the basement
of her fathers home Tuesday morning,
Frances Steinke, daughter of Ex-
mayor, W. c., Steinke, was badly
burned. In some way her dress
caught fire and attracted by her
screams her father and brother Willie
rushed to her assistance. In the effort
to extinguish the flames, Mr.. Steinke's
both hands and arms were terribly
burned; the son was also severely
injured. Fears are entertained that
the results may prove fatal to Mr..
Steinke. His sister, Mrs. Schultz,
who lives in New Ulm, on Tuesday
afternoon was summoned to Sleepy
Eye. Miss Frances received serious
injuries at the right arm, the right
side and the lower limbs.

These events will obviate any delays
of the program possible to be occa-

que feature will be the attempt of
Frank Owens, catcher on the Minnea-
polls baseball team. to catch a ball
dropped by Curtiss from a height of
LOCO feet in the air. A similar feat
to this was successfully performd, it
will be remembered, by Charlie Street,
of the Washington Club, who caught
a baseball dropped from the top Of
the Washington monument, which is
542 feet high.

Turns up in the Shape of Twins,
Arriving From Cleveland After
Long Search. The Much
Talked-of Gas Plant
Mike
Local Capital Wanted.

Like Halley's Comet, conspicuously
advertised, looked for with great an
tiscipation, viewed with considerable
disappointment, finally relegated to a
70 year oblivion, the people of New
.Ulm have looked and waited in anxiety
for the New Ulm gas plant and now
sorrowfully behold same gradually
disappearing into the endless space.
Yes, New Ulm wanted a gas plant,
however, fate, in the shape of the
Cleveland Gas Machinery Co. ord aimed,
otherwise. Thursday afternoon W..
b. SteinWedell and Arthur NJ. Smith
representatives of the above mentioned
company made flying trip to New
Ulm informing the city authorities
that it was impossible for their com.
pany to comply with the conditions OF
the franchise given to them December
a, 1909 by the City Council. When
last fall p. A. Ferrin, field man of the
Cleveland concern, solicited the good
will of New Ulm for the erection of a
gas plant he stated that the enterprise
would be largely financed by his COM
pany. Local capital would not be
called upon unless the New Ulm
capitalists would voluntarily invest.
Now at this late hour the representa-
tives of the Gas Co. come out with the
statement that they merely sell gas
machinery, but do not finance gas
companies. If therefore New Ulm
wants a gas plant it will have to be
financed by local capital.
The New Ulm Gas Co. was organized
under the state laws of MINES ota with
the:following officers: Pres, E. B..
Southwrick, of Cleveland, Ohio; vice
pres, 81. M. Booth, of Menter, Ohio;
sec. Land treas, b. A. Scherer, Cleve-
land, Ohio.
Il isafurther stated that the bonds
can not be sold until the plant was in
operation, consequently if New UIm
wants a gas plant it will be up to the
local capitalists to finance the enter
prise; at any rate the, plant could not
be put in operation by the lst of
October.
As IN many more instances our city
was again treated to the pleasure and
excitement of a ten cent side show with
the fat woman and the tall man in
their respective tents. The prospect
Of securing an additional enterprise
for our community got everybody
agoing, printer ink was freely used,
the city council got busy, the city
attorney drew up an iron clad fran
chise and the house wives saved up all
the pin money to buy a gas range.
All hopes are now blasted; disappoint-
ment prevails until new star of hope
appears on the sky OF New Ulm's in
dustry. The only way to get a gas
plant is, for the city to take hold of it..
We have enough capital here and
plenty of energy to push the enter
prise.

The Alumni of the New Ulm High
School met last Thursday evening in
the assembly hall of the Turner theatre
for their annual gathering and the
election of officers. The hall was
tastfully decorated with ferns and
flowers; lavender and white crepe
paper.
A repast was first served by the
Turner ladies and following this q,
program consisting of music, read.
ings and short talks, was rendered by
members of the different graduating
classes and the teachers.
Professor 3. T. Critchett acted as

ening DR.. Cleve. Fredericks in touch
ing words delivered a farewell address
to Mr.. Critchett and in behalf of the
Alumni ASS n handed to him a gold

esteem in which he was held. Max
Pfaender as President of the Assn,
then presented Mrs. Critchett with
bouquet Of loose flowers, Ia small
offering to show the popularity she
has gained among the students). Short
" after, the Alumni adjourned for a
business meeting and the following
officers were elected for the coming
year: Mr.. 81. Held, pres; Miss
Wendt, vice pres; Miss Beussmann;
.sec.: Miss Toberer, treas. and Elmer
Haeberle fin. sec.
Then followed short discussions ON
various matters and the assembly
broke up after most enjoyable even
ing.
Since 1894 there have been 2O9 grad
uates including this years class and
a goodly numoer were present at the
banquet. However, it is hoped that
next year the attendance will be still
greater and that all graduates will
make greater efforts to be present and
to foster feeling of friendship and
good fellowship among the many
graduates of the New Ulm High
School.

We have reached the Foot Hills, Yonder are
the Mountains.
Turner Theatre was literally packed
on last Wednesday evening, June 8,
to witness the commencement exercises
OF the New Ulm High class of 1910.
The hall was beautifully decorated
with ferns, palms, and yellow roses by
the Junior class. Above the chairs IN
which the graduates sat was their
class motto in green and gold, 1--WE
have reached the Foothills, Yonder
are the Mountains" Towards the
rear of the platform sat the girls Glee
Club and the superintendent and
teachers. Seats in the centre of the
parquet were reserved for the friends
and relatives o; the graduates.
The program began at O'Clock
sharp with a march, BLAZE of
Glory" by the high school orchestra.
Towards the end of the march the
twenty-five graduates, sixteen girls
and nine boys, marched in and took
seats at the front of the platform.
Miss Elsa Fritsche was the valedic-
torian and three members received
salutatory honors, Albert L. George,
Eunice G. Starr and Alexander g.
Seifert- Albert George recited the
theme, "The Nobel Prizes and their
Founder" He told something of the
life of Sir Alfred Nobel of Sweden and
of the origin of the Nobel Prizes.
The next number was a song, "Wel-
come'' by the class chorus which was
followed by an essay on, ''The Wild
Flowers of Minnesota" by Eunice G.
Starr. She named the various wild
flowers which grow in Minnesota
during the spring and summer and
described each one briefly. This was
following by the class history by
Sarah Lipp, who reviewed the past
school life of the class of 1910. The
girls Glee Club sang "Carmena" and
then Eda A. Falk recited the class
poem, composed by herself. Next in
order was the class history which was
delivered by Alex. Seifert. There
was drawing of each one by Wanda
Gag, showing how they will appear
in the future. Some were very
amusig. After another chorus, cover
the Fields at EARLY Morn" Miss Elsa
Fritche gave an essay on ''The In
creased Cost of Living" which was
followed by the class song.
Supt. Critchett introduced DIR. f. H.
Swift of the University of Minnesota
who gave an address on Education,
Our Birthrigt." He defined the word
birthright and alluded to the story in
the bible of Jacob and Esau, how
Esau sold his birthright to Jacob for
a bowl of pottage. He said that edu
cation was birthright as we'll as life
and food and clothing, and that many
do not realize this fact. It was an
excellent address. After de had
finished speaking he handed the
graduates their diplomas.
When the orchestra had played
another number the graduates were
congratulated by the faculty and
friends and relatives, and also re-
ceived several presents. Each gradu-
ate received bouquet from the class
of 1911.

.FORTY-ONE FISHERMEN
PERISH IN BLIZZARD
Were Blown y Sea In Open
Boats During Storm.

Halifax, n. s.. Jan. 6.-Forty.one
fishermen Of the Dover and Whitehead
feet In the Canso district are missing
In eight boats which have been adrift
since Tuesday. The seas have been
high. the thermometer has been below
zero most Of the time. and there is
small hope that any OF the victims OF
the blizzard that carried them sud
denly out to sea will ever return alive.
The fleet OF searching steamers Is
securing that part OF the coast. but
there are few who believe they will
bring any tidings other than complete
disaster.
Whitehead has lost four boats with
twenty-five men. and Dover four boats
with nineteen men. When the blizzard
came twenty-five boats were at work
In haddock fishery. Seventeen got
back. The Dominican government has
sent out three steamers 10 search for
the fishermen. and other craft are out
on this mission. but no rescues have
been made and hope Is abandoned.
Human endurance could not stand the
terrible rigors OF such a temperature
exposed as the men were In open

Ing.


Ing.
Washington, Jan. 6.-victor Rose
water, national committeeman for Ne
braska, had an interview by appoint
ment with the president with refer
rnce to political matters. incidentally
the president said: II want you to help
correct the reports that are being cir
culated to the effect that | am using
the patronage club TO whip socalled
insurgents into line. There Is a well
founded custom that has become al
most a rule that In making certain
appointments, such as TO postofilces.
the president should act on recommen-
dation on the members of congress In
whose district they lie. If represented
by member OF the same political
party. This obligation resting on the
president. however. is reciprocal. The
Republican congressman Is under
similar obligation to support admins
tration measures recommended by the
president to carry out platform
pledges on which both OF us were
elected. have not turned down
recommendations OF insurgent con-
gressmen. but am simply preserving
the status quo to impress them with
their obligation.
This statement OF the presidents
was provoked by the publication OF re-
ports that he contemplated withhold
ing patronage from those Republicans
who withheld their support from the
regular organization In the house. The
president makes II clear that the club
may be used on insurgents who oppose
administration policies. but nothing is
said relative 10 the proposition that
patronage may be denied insurgents
who are not supporting the Cannon
organization. The question Is for con-
sideration by the administration as TO
whether appointments shall be with
held from Republicans who are not
classified as regular"
A meeting of the insurgents OF the
house will be held soon to discuss the
situation growing out of the contem-
plated purpose Of the administration

tiers of patronage OF those Republicans
who are not supporting the house or
ganization. Following the report that
President Taft considered following
such course there was a series of
war dances which will eliminate in a
grand rally later in the week. Some
of the insurgents don't view with COM
posture the prospect of a withdrawal
OF patronage. but others appear not to
be alarmed They say that II such a
step is taken by Mr.. Taft II will react
on the administration.
There are conservative members OF
