Sunday Closing Of the Postofiice

Postmaster Liesch has decided on
Sunday closing OF the General
Delivery and Carrier windows at the
Postofice. This il in accordance with
. bulletin issued by the Post Office
Department . year ago giving to post
masters the right to do this II they see
fit. Mr.. Liesch has been keeping .
record Of the amount of mail delivered
Sundays in this way and he finds that
the actual amount handed out is very
small compared with the number OF
persons who call for mail and receive
none. This, be says, decided him on
closing and be believes that very few
seriously inconvenienced.
Leaving aside the question Of the
religious observance of the day,
which is one for each to decide for
himself, we believe that any form of
business activity will gain ia efficiency
and well-being by securing to its
employees one full day at least out of
seven in which to rest and enjoy them
selves, The man who gives of his
best efforts to his employer six days
week deserves and should have the
seventh wholly to himself to use as he
chooses.
However, the question is looked at
from different angle by different
people and as service should be
be rendered with the idea of the
greatest good to the greatest number
there is no doubt that if sufficient
number of the patrons Of the Office are
opposed to the closing and will
courteously make their wishes known
that some agreeable arrangement can
be made whereby anyone who wishes
can secure his mail Sundays as we'll
as other days. OF course, the bust
ness public and all who rent boxes
will get their mail as usual and the
outgoing mails will be received and
incoming mails distributed to boxes
the same as on week days. Only those
who do not have boxes will be Obliged
to do without their Sunday mail. II
any one feels agerieved we will be
glad to hear from him and will cheer

be taken for granted that the closing

Searles Saloon Obnoxious.

At the next meeting of the
Board Of County Commissioner!
resolutions will oe presented recently
adopted by citizens at Hanska anG
farmers of the neighboring towns
protesting against the manner in which
the saloon at Searles is being conduct
ed. Our position favoriDg personal
liberty along all lines is we'll known
and requires no apology on our par
but just because We so strongly advo.
cate personal liberty we protest
against the acts of saloon, keepers
which create sentiment against the
orderly public drinking place. We
hope the conditions at Searles are not
go bad as they are reported to be and
as the resolutions seem to indicate.
But if they should be and the present
owners are not able or willing to i'm.
prove conditions then the County
Commissioners should see to it that
some one will be found who will run
the place in decent manner. All
others in the same line OF business
cannot afford to have their own future
existence jeopardized by the reck-
less manner in which some persist in
con cuctipg the business.

counties OF the state.
The commission sitting as board
OF equalization meets annua ally on the
second Tuesday of September and
must complete its work before the first
Monday of January following.
The law gives to the commission
powers as board of equalization, viz:
lst. To raise or lower, a. to them
may seem just, the aggregate valua-
ton OF real estate in any town, village
city or county by adding to or deduct
ing therefrom such per cent as will in
their judgment put the same upon an
IN equality with like property in the
other counties of the state.
End. To raise or lower the assessed
valuation of any tract or lot of real
property in any town, village or city
to an equality With like property. In
co. Of Aarltsss, hevsysr, notice oi
their Intention and of q time and place
of hearing must first be given by mail.
3rd. To raise or lower the aggregate
valuation of any class Of personal
property in any county, town, village

Brown County Fares Well.

Brown County will receive o., 43
from the semi annual payment Of the
state school fund distributed last
week by G. G. Schulz, state superin.
tendent of public instruction.
The entire amount distributed 10
e798, 232, at the rate of o. for 1893, III
pupils. This 10 the -largest spring
payment ever made in Minnesota. Al
the fall distribution in October, pay.
ment was made on the basis of @ per
capita. The revenue for this fund il
obtained from the state l mill tax. to-
gether with the interest on the per-
manent school fund amounting to
s22, 900, 900.
Hennepin county receives the largest
sum, S97, 1858; Ramsey comes next with
S5s,5Ss, and St. Louis next with
s57, 4:6. Cottonwood county gets
s6,256; Blue Earth, $4,000; Nicollet,
1882 and Watonwan, &4,8l6. S
This money, the County Auditor
, informs US, will be apportioned among
the various school districts of the
County ON the last Wednesday of the
month. s...
Complying with the law, the State
Highway Commission last week ap-
portioned the 1912 Road and Bridge
Fund amounting to $4,000 among
the counties of the State. This was
about $40. 900 more than was believed
would be available.
IL making the apportionment the
joint resolution passed by the last
Legislature providing that counties
which did not share in the old ''pork
barrel' appropriation should first
receive approximately 100000 before
apportioning the entire sum thruout
the State, was generally observed.
The minimum each county will get
this year is $4,000 and the maximum
$1,000. The counties in the northern
part of the state get approximately
$40, 300 and counties in the southern
part of the state s199, 700. Brown
County's share is $4,000. This in
cludes, according to our way of
looking at it, Brown County's share
of the so-called "pork barrel" Com.
pared with other Counties We are
doing extremely we'll. Blue Earth
County with $500 and Renville
County with $500 are the only
counties Dear us who have Jared better.
Nicolles County gets only 8, O0,
Redwood, 1920 and Watonwan,
%, 100.

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
81. Alexander's Hospital to Have
CesspooI Provided BY City at
Cost Of $1,000.

y
Albert J. Meyer, alderman Of the
third ward, who has entered the race
for City Clerk, submitted his resig-
nation as councillor, the same to take
effect April LIST.
William Boettger, Jos. Gag, Anton
Liebl and August Dsluegi appeared
before the council and requested that
Franklin Street from 9Th North Street
to 18th North Street be graded
graveled and boulevarded. This
matter was before the council last
year and SO much opposition devel
oped against the project from the
majority of the abutting property
owners that no further action was
taken except to have the same SUBJ
mitted to the Board ofPublic Works.
Under the circumstances the council
did not feel like taking any further
action except to refer it to the Com.
mittee on Streets for investigation.
Chr. Filzen, Jr., john 81. Forster
Andrew Saffert, Alex Ranweiler, john
Henle and Robert Fcsenmaisr appear
ed as representatives of the local
hospital and requested the city to-
erect cesspool for the hospital, the
same to be connected with the open
public ditch running along NORTH
Garden Street. The request was
granted and the Committee on Streets;
was authorized to make investigation
and carry out the project. The COM
mittee represented that the total ex-
pense OF said sewerage system would
amount to about $1,000. 1t might have
looked little more business.like is
the city council had plans and speci-
ficstions prepared for the proposed
improvement, and an estimate of the
cost made, before granting the re-
quest
The city has an opportunity at the
present time to dispose Of the large
hook and ladder truck and Chief
Henry Engel and his two assistants
Fred Pfaender and Jos. +. Groebner
appeared before the council to confer
with them in references to diposing Of
this piece Of fire apparatus. The
present hook and ladder truck is too
heavy for our needs and the fire de-,
partment favors the purchase of =
smaller one of similar design and
construction, but they are loathe to-
give up the present truck unless .
smaller hook and ladder track is pro-
vided for them. The matter WIS
finally referred to q committee of the;
fire department and the city's fire.
department committee.
The Board of Public Works ap-
proved OF the sprinkling OF Minnesots
Street, Broadway and Washington
Street under the same conditions IS
prevailed last year, and the City Clerk
was directed to invite seaka bids fer
the sprinkling until the next regular
meeting; also bid for hauling the
large hook and ladder truck in case
of fires.

invite sealed bids before the next

SPRING ELECTION PROSPECTS
Eibsef h Make Vigorous Cam
paisn. No Opposition in
First and Third Wards.

After about two WeekS' OF absolute
quiet Ia the political field, ripple OF
excitement was caused when it was
announced that Wd. Eibner had finally
decided to enter the Mayoralty race
and he has since filed his petition and
oAn from now on be considered an
avowed candidate for the Office Of
Mayor. What may have prompted
him to SHE his castor fora Ia Teddy.
"sombrero'O into the ring, is of very
little moment at this time. He was
evidently urged very strongly to dc
so by his friends and he has no doubt
. strong desire to grace the Mayors
chair. He and his friends probably
canvassed the situation thoro)y and
became satisfied that MIR. Eibner's
chances of winning out are of the very
best. His entering the race means
that he will put up strong fight.
As q surprise came the candidacy
of Rudolph Marti for alderman of the
second ward. Mr.. Marti is member
Of the firm of Bastian, Marti &
Brandt, is we'll qualified for the Office
and his friends hope to see him q
winner when the votes are counted on
the 5th of April.
Efforts have been made to bring out
candidates for alderman in the first
and third wards, but so far without
success. It was currently rumored
that A. :. Ochs had finally yielded to
the opportunities of his friends and
consented to run again in the first and
4hat John II. Forster was slated as an
sldermanic candidate for the third.
When interviewed, Mr.. Ochs stated
that he had declined to make the race
again because his business interests
require his undivided attention and
that, although he had been urged very
much to become . candidate again, be
wss firm in his resolve not to make
the campaign. Mr.. Forster admitted
that he too had been urged and en-.
treated to become candidate, but
shat he emphaticaily informed his
friends that he lacks the time to serve
the people in the way they have .
right to be served and that he would
not under any circumstances allow
the use of his name for that or any
other Office.
From present indications it would
seem that no further candidates would
materialize between now and election
day and It may be just as we'll. The
fewer candidates, the less opportunity
for discussions. What we require In
New Ulm above verything else is
harmony, as Mr.. Eioner openly ad.
mitted and declared when he was only
q tentative candidate.
