GREAT MUSICAL TREAT
Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra
10 Visit this City IN February.

An announcement fraught with q
great deal OF pleasure for the music
lovers of New Ulm was made this
week when Manager johnson of the
Turner Theatre gave it out that.
arrangements had been perfected for.
the appearance here late in February
of the famous Minneapolis Symphony
orchestrs. =
The coming to New Ulm of such
large and splendid organization is
the result of visit to the city some
weeks ago OF Miss Alma Voedisch,
special representative of the orchestra,
who thoroughly canvassed the possi
bilities of such an entertainment in q
town of this size and came to the con
clusion that it would meet with as
much favor here as elsewhere. In the
hundred and more towns visited by
the orchestra on its last spring tour
packed houses were the order every
where and it is safe to say that the
New Ulm audience will not prove an
exception.
The Minneapolis orchestra ranks
today as one of the three greatest
organizations of its kind in the
country, leading critics planning it
along with the Boston Symphony and
the celebrated Thomas orchestra of
Chicago. Its leader, Emil Oberhof-
fer, is one of the foremost conductors
of his time and in the opinion of
many has no superior in America.
For the New Ulm concert an effort
will be made to work out program
that will meet the tastes OF all.

BARRIERS BURNED AWAY. z
interesting Middleton Drama 10 be
Presented At the Turner
Theatre
Evening, Janusy 29th.
Sunday.

Ilterest in E. p. Roe, one of Ameri-
ca's best known novelists, is being re-
vived by the great success which
is being accorded George Middleton's
DEMONSTRATION of Mr.. Roe's most wide
~ read story, "Barriers Burned
Away"
The story deals with poor but
brilliant young man and his efforts to
win the love of a rich naughty girl
who believes only in the god ofmoney.
It is only when great Chicago fire has
burned the barriers of wealth away
that she realizes her love for the man
aud comes into the pure nature that
had been warped by an avaricious
! father.
> Mr.. Roe was the novelist of the
great middle class which constitutes
the reading majority. His novels are
singllarly fitted to appeal TO those
for whom they we're written. Their
author wrote books with . moral and
almost q religious purpose. q fact
disarmed the suspicious; Re dwelt with
domestic scenes and with characters
inshumble life, and he mingled senti-
ment and sensation with q judicious
hand. His novels have retained their
popularity to a wonderful degree, and
they exerted no small influence for
good on large reading public.
E In making his DEMONSTRATION of
Barriers Burned Away" Mr.. Mid.
dleton has retained all that is good
and wholesome in the story and
has developed the dramatic portions
to such 9 degree that the play Is said
to be far more entertaining than the
book.
It will be presented here on January
Goth with adequate scenery and an ex-
eellent cast by the same firm of pro-
ducers responsible for those SPLENDID

County Auditor VOgel and
County Attorney Erickson
Save over $4,000 for the Petit.
TONERS of Judicial Ditch No.
One, Brown and Watonwan
Counties.
Three Years Fight in Court.

On Oct. %, 1906 Judge Gray OF the
9Th judicial district ordered judicial
ditch No. of Watonwan and Brown
counties to be constructed on the
strength of petition that was sub
mitted to him. On January %, 1907
contract was entered into with A. w.
Schweppe of St. James by the County
Auditors of these two Counties at
price of 29 per cent above the engi-
neer's estimate cost OF construction
for the same, and it was l per cent
below the amount limited by Law.
The contractor, however. asked for
certain stipulations, demanding that
in case quick-sand is encountered, or
if the contractor bad to curb the
trench, that he was to receive extra
pay for all such work and materials
as the engineer may direct.
The work and material was to be
estimated at actual cost with Is per
cent profit.
County Auditor Vogel and county
attorney Erickson held that the ditch
law is very plain and explicit in de-
scribing all details and occurrences
Incidental to such work and that the
validity of extra bids should not De
entertained. They at once concluded
to stand by the law.
Payments were made by the two
auditors until the contractor had re-
ceived nearly $1,000 for extras when
Auditor Vogel refused to make any
further payment for any extras as
ordered by the engineer. The con-
tractor commenced suit against the
Auditor of Brown County and County
Attorney Erickson took the matter
into hands on all legal points. The
case was brought before Judge Gray
Of the 9th Judicial District who
ordered payment for part of the ex-
tras. Auditor vogel, however was
firm in refusing to make any more
payments for extras.
In the meantime Judge Gray re.
signed and the case was brought be-
fore Judge Pau who ordered payment
over $4,000 for extras, which, however,
was again refused to be paid where
upon the County Attorney with the
consent of the auditor appealed to the
Supreme Court. The necessary papers
to the Higher Court were at once pre-
pared to be forwarded to the higher
tribunal. Before the preliminaries
had been finished, however, the petit
TONERS of ditch No. l desired a settle
ment which was affected with the con-
seut of Auditor Vogel and County
Attorney Erickson. According to the
stipu atoms the contractor receives
SIS, 200 for his work of said ditch and
consequently the petitioners saved
over SIS, 600 for extras.
The two county officials are to be
congratulated on their success in
affecting a settlement of such great
dimens ions and it goes to show what
officials can accomplish If they are
inclined to take care of the interests
of their constituents. We certainly
have fighting Auditor and County
Attorney who are always ready to
defend the rights of the people and to
look after the public interests.

Neither knew how long they had
stood thus, facing each other with
such different thoughts. To him she
she had come too late. Had he III
vorced her years ago, he told himself
that Vernon would be his wife now.
To her he was like the executioner:
as though, in most unusual man
ner she faced him after the striking
of the fatal blow.
"Wel1,'' she said at last, in a voice
that was steady, if rather faint.

herself she took out her cardcase

The dinner party at Carronlea had
led to nothing. In one Of their quar-
rels, she had told Dan roundly that
this was his fault thereby still, fur
Their embittering their relations.
One solitary invitation card ap-
peared in the frame of the mirror in
her boudoir, as she called it. An in
vitation to the huge garden party at
the Court, to which, as she knew,
all the leading tradespeople were
hidden, since Lord Bunbury's young
er brother sat for that division of the
county. She felt as though that in
vitation were the drowning insult.
One afternoon she felt more in
clined to cut her throat than ever in
her life before. The night previous
there had taken place the worst
scene as yet enacted between them,
when Dan, half tipsy, and goaded by
her cold contempt had openly taunt-
ed her with her childlessness and had
used language beside which his per-
sonal violence seemed pardonable. Il
was a woman very near the edge of
despair who sat brooding in her mo-
tor-car as it shot through the sum-
mer lanes. There had been two or
and the air was not very warm. The
raindrops still trembled upon the
ferny banks and upon the leaves Of
the grand trees which made all the
land like one huge park. Her loneli-
ness had reached the pitch when she
felt she must have human intercourse
or go mad. So she was going to call
at Carronlea. She did not care
whether she owed a call or not-as a
matter of fact she did not. See the
face of some creature of her own
sex, she felt she imperatively must,
even if the accustomed snubbing
should be the result.
She was richly dressed, as usual,
and her very careful makeup hid
the fact of her extraordinary pallor.
AS she was whirled alone the eyes of
her mind were fixed upon her bruises
She had shown them to the house
maid that morning. Something that
Dan had let slip the previous night
had encouraged her to hope that
there might be more grounds for a
divorce than she had known.
Arrived at Carronlea, she was told
that Mrs. Bardsley was in the garden
but should be summoned She was
ushered through the hall, always
since Vernon first came. a bower Of
flowers and fragrance: and into the
chintzy cool and half-light of the
long, low drawing-room.
A gentleman was sitting in the
table. At the sound of the opening
door, and of some one entering, he
turned: and Laura stood gazing into
the face of her husband, Lionel
Gladwyn.
He leaped to his feet Neither of
them had changed enough to make
| recognition difficult. There they
| stood, mute, paralyzed. In Lionels
ears the words Mrs. Trent" which
had announced her appearance, float
ed vaguely.
So here was the end She had
| known, somehow, that afternoon, that
| it was in sight. But here it was in
deed. The last chapter.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Last Straw.

There is nothing to remember in me,
Nothing I ever said with a grace,
Nothing / did that you care to see,
Nothing I was that deserves a place
In your mind. now 1 leave you, set
you free"
James Lees Wife.
Things at Barrow End had been
going from bad to worse.
In the early days of his marriage,
Dan had made an honest effort to re-
form. His passion for the woman
whom he had made his wife was
genuine and deep. He had married
her blindly, deliberately shutting his
eyes to her misunderstanding no
questions, accepting anything she
chose to tell him. They had met 1T
small private hotel, at which he
was in the habit Of staying when in
London. At least, it called itself a
private hotel, but might have been
ing-house. He married her, lavished
money upon her, tried, as far as in
him lay, to do and be what she wish
ed.
But the emptiness of her heart to-
wards him could not long be hid. Her
Loneliness, her boredom, her disgust,
not to be disguised, at his manners
and habits-her more and more open
resorting to the company Of other
men soon had their inevitable effect.
Passion of the kind felt by the
wretched man for her soon turns to
a kind of hatred, when rebuffed.
Her power over him at the begin
ming was such that, had she had one
ounce of affection for him-even one
ounce of devotion to duty-she might
have done what she pleased with
him. But the moment she began to
neglect him openly, her empire be-
gan to crumble. At first it was easy
to bring him back to her feet; few
caresses, a few smiles, and he begged
her pardon, drove to Yeominster, and
bought her a necklace. But az his
