AN OFFER DECLINED

We have received recently from gentleman in Ely. Nevada, several let ters. We are quite positive that he IS gentleman and a perfect gen t.eman at al, because he has offered to make us rlen beyond the dreams of ayarice. Ere now the reader may In the silver mine business. He says if we send him our surplus resources he will, within a day or two, make us rich as Rockefeller.
 This seems like a fair offer inas- much as our available resources at the present time cons st of two con iederate one dollar bills. Q plugged quarter, 8 brass key ring. two street car tickets and tin match safe. But still, we hesitate to invest even this insignificant amount for, when we consider what wealth has done to Rockefeller, we are not qu-te certain that We want to be rich. Without fear of being selfish, we will state that we prefer to keep our own hair and an internTl organism that can di- gest such delicacies as corn beef and catblge, pork and beans or codfish. Besides, We don't like to play golf. Of course silver mine is a nice thing to have about the place, but We feel that we must decline the gentle mfn's Cffer. Wealth has its draw acks and we have all the drawbacks 0e need now without adding anoth- CT. Furthermore, if there is so all fired much money in that silver mine,

THE RLINDFoLoEp WOMAN WITH SCALES AND SWORD.

Amid the fury of our demand fol the recall of the judiciary. would i, not be well for us to prefer a modest request for the recall of the jury. or : at least, seek some form of relief from it's frequently outrageous findings While We have in mind especially the verdict of the jury in the Patterson case, returned at Denver on wednes- day, our remarks will equally apply to scores of other verdicts in promin. ent or notorious criminal cases every year. in which the state is left helpless by the verdict of jury, captivated by "a rag and bone and hank of hair Of diverted by some emotion from tte eeal question Of the guilt or innocence of the defendant.
 In the Patterson case there were some plain facts The woman. of sell sdnitesels bssA character, had shot and killed her husband, an invalid. of eor- sumption. It was at her instance that the fatal meeting had been arranged and she went to it armed. when, ac. eording to her testimony it was to be q friendly one.
 The evidence plainly showed that the man had been shot in the back The only reliable eyewitness saw the woman shooting as the man was crawl ing away, crying for mercy. Against this was the story of the woman who pleaded self-defense and she was sup ported by no one but a strange, mya- terious witness from another state Of whom no one had heard until in the closing hours of the trial. There was no doubt that his testimony was fab. Ticated. On cross-examination, he knew nothing of Denver except that particular spot where the killing tool; place tfg-couid not remember the Bame of ;he place where he said he had worked CT Of persons with whom he had associated. Yet. tine jury ao- eepted the womsn's version of the shooting though ju,ies are always iu. strueted- to take into consideration the great interest of defendant in the outcome Of criminal trial.
 But the jury does not appear to have attached greac importance 10 the circumstances o6 the killing. A far weightier matter iu the minds of the twelve men seems 10 have been a trip 10 Europe of the defendant in the colnpany of a man who she had cOin. plained had ruined her youthful fife some years before. thing as foreign 10 the matter before the Jury as the disputed relations between Antony and Cleopatra.
 Yet. upon this European journey was the whole case suspended and the soman's story Of 1t was accepted, though on eross-eyamination she ad. Tnitted that one statement concerning l; vas false.
 Centuries before the jury system vas established. justice was symbol ized by a blindfolded woman The artist who conceived that symbol eyi. denliy knew what was huttering alons the way.

gradual increase from $2O7, 900 paid to
farmers in 1905 to $500, 600 paid in 1910
represents an improvement in the

BASKET BALL
St. Peter New uIm. Fast Gus.
tavus AdoIphus Team Trims
Visitors.

A picked basket ball team from this
city journeyed to st. Peter last Satur-
day where they met and we're defeated
by the team of Gustsvus Adolphus
College of that place by score Of
42-l0. Considering that the locals
had only two nights practice, they
put up very good game against Q
team which is considered one Of the
best in the state.
The game as it started out promised
to BE- close affair, for it required
four minutes for St. Peter to tally, the
first hall. ending 2l-3. In the second
half New Ulm started out in whirlwind
fashion, scoring points to their
opponents 2, but in the last part of
of the game Cordes who substituted
in place of Moriarity was run off his
feet by Beck of St. Peter and before
the game ended Berg had scored s
baskets which ran the score up con-
siderably. Cesander at Center played
a good game, outjumping his oppo-
nent, but was weak on baskets, as
we're all the rest of the team. II.
Berg and Wenz. Groebner at guards
played q very aggressive game, hold
ing Ranseen and johnson, the stellar
G. A. c. forwards, to I baskets, the
former securing 3 Oft Berg while the
latter scored off Groebner. Nor
iarity and E. Berg at forward played
an aggressive game, but we're terribly
weak at shooting baskets. Moriarity
especially played fine game, pre-
venting Beck, bis fleet footed oppo-
nent from scoring more than bas-
kets.

Automatic sprinkling System

Since the erection of the rye and
corn mills at the Eagle Roller Mill
plant sforce of workmen have been
busy installing an automatic sprinkler
system. This work has recently been
completed and the plant is now in
splendid shape to resist and subdue a
fire in any part of any building. A
ten inch water main is laid direct to
the mills so that there can be no lack
of sufficient pressure. In addition to
this there is the reserve supply held in
the new $4,000 gallon tank recently
erected near Front Street. From this
tank The sprinkler pipes run to all
parts of the plant. There are over
30OO sprinkler heads each one 90
arranged that certain degree of heat
causes fusion and the sprinkler head
blows of allowing the water to pour
out! upon the fire. At the same
moment q gong rings at the place OF
the fire and another gong located in
the engine:room also rings and dial
indicates where the signal came from,
thus giving the engine room immediate
notice of the trouble while the
sprinkler keeps the fire under control.
The fusing.point is set at different
degrees of heat in various locations
because of the varying temperatures
common to the several. parts of the
plant. For instance, should the
temperature in the Office get above los
degrees the sprinkler would at once be
set in operation whereas in the boiler
room the temperature would have to
reach almost 300 degrees before the
fusing would take place. The instslla.
ton of the system at cost of about
$40, coo gives us Q good idea of the
value of fire protection In such q
plant-and also indicates the pro-
gressive spirit in evidence in the con-
troll of the great enterprise.
Another Improvement installed
several months ago enables the Office
to ascertain at any moment the TEN.
perature of the wheat contained in
any one of the nineteen concrete tanks
belonging to the plant. In this way
wheat in the elevators is kept from
heating and is sure to be fit for milling
purposes. This thermometer system
is the invention of Prof. Zeleny of
the U. of NJ, who was formerly q
Hutchinson boy.

Social Events.

Martin Mueller was agreeably sur.
prised by . large number OF bis
friends Friday evening. They came
early and stayed late which speaks
volumes for the host.
The Faculty Of Dr.. Martin Luther
College gathered Ut the home Of Pro-
lessor sperling for one Of their social
afternoons, Friday.
A number of the little friends OF
Charles Silverson will help him to
celebrate his third birthday next
Thursday. There will be party for
the children of his own age.

their jolly evenings at the home OF
Miss Olga Mueller Saturday. The
club meets every two weeks during the
winter and plays for points until the
end of the season when prizes will be
awarded to the winners of the most
points during the series. Miss Mary
Hess who was home from Springfield
over Sunday was q guest OF the club.
The event of the season took place
Saturday afternoon when little Jack
Schoch as host and Marion Reineke
as hostess entertained twenty-one OF
the wee ones of society. The party
was given at the home of DR.. G. F.
Reineke and in spite of the inclement
weather all of the babies ventured out
and took their mamas with them. The
guests gathered at three O'Clock and
enjoyed themselves so much that it
was eight before the last ones had
gone home. The national flag was
used in the decorations and the low
tables and tiny chairs made pretty
picture when all the guests were seated.
There was big cake with candles and
candles we're used in lighting the
rooms. Place cards indicated each
guests seat at the table and there
were favors to suit the tastes of the
recipients. The good things to eat
were oil such things as are dear to
children. Music and toys entertained
the little ones while the mamss had Q
grown.up party in another part OF the
house. But the babies party was the
event and made pleasant diversion
from the usual card party. The affair
was delightful success in every way.
"A Mrs. Albert Schramm gave party
Sunday evening. There were six
tables at Euchre and Louis Schiller
won the star prize, Mrs. Clara Man
del field received lady's punch prize
