The Blue Earth County Medical as

meeting last night. The attendance
was so small that it was decided not
to hold any more meetings until the
latter part of September. No papers
were read, but some matters of in

cussed.
1t is understood that the neWspa-
writing up two or three cases of sur
gerry that have been performed in the
city recently, and that have been OF
so unusual and remarkable a charac-
ter that they attracted general inter-
est when they became known. 1t
appears that the other doctors did
not like it because the names of the
surgeons who performed the opera
lions were mentioned. The papers
would no doubt be glad to mention
all the doctors if they have cases of
unusual interest

From Tuesdays Daily.
Henry Amann, aged nine years,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin
Amann, was run over by the cars
at New Ulm at 9:45 this morning
and his right leg severed just below
the knee. The southbound Minneapo-
lis and st. Louis freight was switch
ing at Third North street, and it is
suspected that young Amann attempt
ed to crawl under car and was
caught by one of the wheels.
Found BY Agent leary.
The local agent for the company,
Ray Leary, was walking alongside of
the track and found Amann lying
near the rails. Mr. Leary at once
discovered what had happened to the
boy, who was conscious. He immedi-
ately sent for physician. Meanwhile
Leary rendered first aid to the IN
jured. Amann made no complaint,
except to remark that his trousers
seemed to be drawn tight at the
knee and were pressing against the
flesh.
Boy Was Courageous.
DR.. O. G.. Stricken conveyed the
boy in his auto to the hospital where
his injuries were attended to. NO
bruises were found on the boy, and
he suffers from no internal injuries.
The doctors express the opinion that
he will recover. The boy displayed
good deal of courage during the
ordeal.

Cost Of Pumping.
The average cost of a water right
under the various government irriga-
ton projects, IS about Si5 per acre, or
more than twice what it costs to de-
velop an absolutely independent water
supply in the Mimbres valley at Dem
ing. The water cost per acre for the
season varies with the crop. One or
two are pumping at cost of s125 per
acre, but generally the cost is between
$3.50 and 81. One of the most expert

HOW TO MAKE A HOTBED.
II Takes a Little Work, but It Means
Early Vegetables.

Why not try Il hotbed this year? See
If YOU cannot be ahead of every one
in he block with first vegetables. Takes
little labor at the start and bit of
watching aftcrward. but the returns
Justify everything you do.
Your hotbpd should be on the south
side of Il building or fence, On well
drained ground. Dig pit little
larger than your hothcd frame and
from one and half to two feet deep
If the bed is to be permanent the
walls of the pit should be lined with
brick, stone or concrete. From one
to two feet Of manure should be put
into this pit and well packed. The
amount depends upon the time of year
the bed is made. The earlier the bed
is built the more manure is required
The frame should be rested ON top Of
the pit and Il film" made around the
bed. -Four to seven inches of rich
soil should he laid over the top Of th2
bed. The frame should be six feet
wide and twelve feet long. The front
side Of the bed should be six or eight
inches high. while the back should be
about a foot higher. If the bed is
permanent the frame should he made
of two inch stuff otherwise com
mon boards will do. Glass saSheS are
preferable for Il cover, although hot
bed made in the last part Of March
may he covered with muslin and give
satisfaction. One advantage in mus
lin is that there is less danger of over
heating the soil from the too rapid
fermentation.
The temperature of the hotbed will
be very high at first. Wait until it
has fallen to nearly IS degrees before
planting the seed. A thermometer
should be used for reading the tenn
perature. Never let the temperature
Of the hotbed get above 80 degrees
Give the bed plenty Of fresh air by
raising the cover and keep the soil
moist. Do not wet It, too much or it
will burn out ana prevent the full de-

How to Keep Ferns Fresh.

Many women complain that they
cannot keep the pretty little ferns
purchasable for display in drawing
rooms in fancy pots because they fade
so quickly and die. This is because
they are not managed properly. Twice
week they should be taken to the
kitchen sink and the leaves we'll wash
ed and stood under the faucet. which
should be allowed to drip water upon
them until they are quite refreshed.
After this the pots should be laid on
their sides and allowed to drain. If

House plants Of any kind must not be
watered too often in cold weather or
the plants die.

improvements Cannot Be Accomplish
Backina-Petty Jealousies Must Sc
Eliminated
The phenomenal growth of many
cities and towns. especially III the
south and west. has caused some per
sons, to wonder why their town has
not also shown Il large percentage OF
growth in the past decade and why
some other town possessing no great
er natural advantages should have in
creased its population by such won
derful numbers, says II. NJ. Weir in
the American City.
The normal growth of an American
city in ten years is about 30 per cent.
When city shows percentage OF
growth greater than this it is evident
that some OF her force than nature is AZ
work to bring about such result
What. therefore. is that force that can
make a city show such a rcmarka Bile
gain as 40. 30. 60 and even 100 per
cent and over in the increase in its
population? Undoubtedly many per
sons will answer, "Factories, railroads
and immigration" This is true but be
hind all of these factors, so essential in
town development, lies the reason. 1T
is the spirit of its citizens
Every citizen. whether he admits ii
or not. has II certain amount of inner
ent pride in the development of the
community in which lie dwells. In
the progressive successful community,
the town that is forging ahead Of it's
rivals, this pride of each individual has
been united in one concerted effort for
the cause Of the community at large
Without public effort it is impossible
to launch and cOnsummate any note
worthy achievement Cooperation is
essential in town development
1t is an undisputed truism that fac
tories build cities and that population
creates land values. 1t is therefore
necessary to secure factories if the
town is to be progressive. And. as ev
cry resident of a community is bene
flied by its growth. it is therefore the
plain duty of every citizen to assist on
all occasions by giving his time. en-
ergy and money to the development of
his community. And he should feel
honored that he has the opportunity to
hand TO pOSterity a city progressive
and successful in whose building he
was a factor.
In such cities as Detroit. Dallas.
Houston. Atlanta and all those west
ern cities whose growth has been so
phenomenal it has been proved that
cooperation and organization We're re-
| Sponsible for the wonderful increases.
If in any city the citizens would
eliminate petty jealousieS and all

| the cause of the common good. always
| bearing in mind that publicity. to
gether with those two potent factors
the SacredncsS of true citizenship and
the irresistible power of unity are eS-
sential to its welfare. that city would
. soon be classed as one of those truly
progressive communities that is best
expressed as typically American.

MARYLAND MAN HAS
 JAIL OF HIS> OWN
Bear Once Guarded Prisoners at 'onty
 Private Rastile In Country.

SuitIand. Md, Dec 2e.-What pro- bably Is the only private Jail in the United States that is sanctioned by state authorities Is owned by Arthur B. Suit, who is soon to be sworn iu as sheriff of Prince George County Maryland It is a small cement uurid- ing located at the home of the recent 1y elected sheriff at Suitiand. and many prisoners have been it's ceeu- pants.
 "Artie" Suit, as the owner of the little prison is widely known iii Maryland and the District of Coium~ bta, has been a constable or deputy sheriff for many years, and it has fai- len to him to land many serious of- lenders in the country behind the bars. He has been connected with the Investigation of most of the mur- der cases and other cases of import ance in the county during the past twenty-five years.
 Because of the long distance 10 the Jail from many parts Of the country and also because of inconvenience or absence of railroad service, Suit con- ceived the idea of having prison ar his home in order that he might save time, trouble and expense: The coun- ty commissioners agreed with him and the structure was erected
 It is told of the officer that he once had big grizzly bear to help him hold his prisoners while he remained in his house long enough to eat din ner or transact necessary business.
 Since he graduated from George town college "Artie'' Suit has devo'- ed most of life to the study of crim- inology, and he is regarded as one of the most fearless of Maryland $ police officials.
 Only few months ago he reeeivel the thanks Of the entire county fo~ breaking up gang of chicken thieves. Jim Green, better known as "Ol1 Fox leader Of the gang. was sentenc ed to twenty years imprisonment while one of his companions was pat away for sixteen and another for two years
