The Hold.up-A Huge Joke.

The reported hold-up on the North
western road, between here and Man
kato. seems, after the smoke mas
cleared up, to have resolved itsel1 m
- 1oss of a sensation than was orl-
ginally supposed.
The much talked OF hold'uP TOOK
Mace between Judson ana Camera
on the short line between Mankato
and New Ulm, an eastbound trelght
being the chosen victim.
The freight train had gone snort
distance beyond Cambria when two
men appeared on the track and tranh-
cal]y signalled for stop. When the
train was brought to stop these men
took to their heels and disappeared
into the woods along the track. Inc
freight then moved on towards Man
kato, reporting the matter to the
authorities in that city. II was
thought that mistake had been mace
by the men who held up the train ~
regard to whether it was freight
train or passenger, and apprehend'
ing a possible attempt on the nex'
messenger, Sheriff Osten was sent Out
with a heavily armed posse to foil the
attempts of the would be hold.ups'
Nothing was sighted on the way &c
excite the suspicious OF the posse
however, and the party arrived mere
unframed and happy. The gentlemen
were entertained by Sheriff julius ane
Cap. Memo until the morning tralr
took them back to Mankato, they
practicing the same vigilance a.
hofore. Nothing was seen on the
way back either
The solution to this mystery car
nrobably be accredited to q few young
non who we're presumably affected oJ
tho heat and found no other way o.
relieving the strain.

He was the owner of q confectionery

Services. General Synod in
Session From Aug. 10th TO 22d
Az, Mankato.
Delegates to Come to New Ulm.

The new Dormitory and Music Hall
OF the Dr.. NJ. L. College are nearing
completion and the grounds around
the buildings are being remodelled Tor
. fine park and campus. This change
viii undoubtedly beautify the college
premises to marked degree, but it Is
to be regretted that great many nice
trees had to be removed for this
purpose.
The conservation of forests is q
praiseworthy practice, which should
be realized by every citizen. How
many places around New Ulm, Tor
example, are to be seen, where trees
have been removed from land which
could. not be turned to agricultural
advantage, for instance, steep hill
sides. which, after the trees have been
removed, become homely clay banks
on which nothing can be grown, the
rich humus on the surface having been
removed by the process OF erosion.
These instances are on small scale
but are no less important on that &C.
count. The arid wastes in southern
Michigan, where once the towering
pine held sole dominion, the deserts
in China. speak Of the grasping mama
for the destruction OF forests
"Woodman, spare that tree!'
The new buildings will be dedicated
with appropriate and impressive SER
vices on Aug. %. Not only the neigh
boring congregations will participate
in this event, but particularly the
ministers and delegates to the 81.
annual Convention OF the general
Synod Of Wisconsin, Minnesota
Michigan, and other States, which
conyenes in Mankato prior to the DE-
dication, Aug Is to p being the dates
SET for the synodical convention.

vantaees are further augmented whel
the beautiful location on College I'LL

There 10 no doubt but what last
Sundays game VAS coveted BY both
Arlington and New Ulm. Players
and fans OF both places were bent
upon victory and Il II unfortunate
that Il VS. not definitely decided.
Both teams were fighting hard for
every advantage and balls, going
into the crowd on the lines provoked
several disputes, but the grand climax
came IN the fifth. The Arlington fans
and players had taken exception with
several Of the decisions Of Umpire
Meyer OF Winthrop, who was doing
his very best to be fair and impartial.
In the last of the 9Th with 2 down,
Henschke walked and when he attempt
ed to steal, Meyer called him out.
Timm, the Arlington catcher, rushed
out and seized him. Backer tried to
separate them and several excited
Arlington fans swarmed upon the
diamond. This broke up the game
for the New Ulm players and fans
became disguised and withdrew.
Players on both teams regretted the
affair, but realized that it was impos-
sible to continue the game.
Under the circumstances, Timm s
action was scarcely excusable. Even
tho he differed with the decision, there
was no justification for rowdyism.
HE only excuse is that he was excited.
The score was to 5 in Arlington 8
favor when the game was called.
Both sides were hitting hard and
when Mueller went in to pitch there

Ulm followers, but that they'd over.

Pieiffer's arm was not in the best OF
shape owing to his shooting and
several hits and errors gave Airing
ton commanding lead in the 3rd in

and Backer and McGovern's double.
New Ulm tied in the 3rd on an error,
Lindemann's single and Backer's
three base swat.
A walk. 3 singles, AsaPs double and
Pfeiffer's error gave Arlington 8 runs
in the 3rd. Amann's error and r

net H. c. Peterson Of Sleepy Eye at
the News Office in st. Paul on that day
but never was seen ia St. Pau !,

THE YOUNG BRIDES
FIRST DISCOVERY

Their wedding tour had ended, and
they entered their new home to settle
down to what they hoped to be one long
uninterrupted blissful honeymoon.
But, alas! the young brides troubles
soon begin, when she tried to reduce the
cost of living with cheap big can baking
powders.
She soon discovered that all she got
was a lot for her money, and it was not
all baking powder, for the bulk of it was
cheap materials which had no leavening
power. Such powders will not make light,
wholesome food. And because of the alb
sence of leavening gas, it requires from
two or three times as much to raise cakes
or biscuits as it does of Calumet Baking
Powder.
Thus, eventually, the actual cost to
you, of cheap baking powders, is more
than Calumet would be.
Cheap baking powders often leave the
bread bleached and acid, sometimes yell
low and alkaline, and often unpalatable.
They are not always of uniform strength
and quality.
Now the bride buys Calumet-the per-
fectly wholesome baking powder, moder-
ate in price, and always uniform and re-
liable. Calumet keeps indefinitely, makes
cooking easy, and is certainly the most
economical after all.
