Council Tfansaets Routine Busi.
ness

George Dill, proprietor of the new
greenhouse near the fair grounds,
appeared before the City Council and
complained that his property has
been flooded and damaged by the re-
cent heavy rains and asked that
this condition be alleviated. The
matter was disposed of temporarily
by the councils agreeing to visit the
place and look into the matter.
Jacob Klossner, Jr., and George
Giesecke, Sr., appeared on behalf of
the Union Hospital Association and
requested that the alley in Block No.
SO South of Center Street, where the
new hospital is to be located, be va
Gated, that the streets around the
block be graded, and that water and
sewer mains be extended to the prop
erty. They were informed that the
Council could not take action unless
petitions in writing were presented
when the matter could be referred to
the Board of Public Works.
Joseph Groebner's request to have
the liquor license of the late Char
les Forster transferred to him was
denied upon the advice of City At
torney Somsen, who informed the
Council that they could not legally
make such transfer since the liquor
license became void upon the death
of the holder and could not be trans.
ferred. Thereupon Mr.. Groebnel
made application for a new license
to expire April 18th, 1914.
The Council voted to refund the
sum Of $387.91 to the late Charles
Forster estate. This action was tax.
en- upon the request of Charles Kret.
sch who has been appointed specia
administrator of the estate and the
sum represents the unearned portion
of the license money, less 2 per cent
paid to the State. I
Upon the recommendation of Drs
o. J. Seifert and G. F. Reineke
members Of the Board Of Health
Herman Held was appointed tn,
third member Of said board. .
City Clerk Meyer was directed tt
advertise for sealed bids for 2OO(
tons of soft coal to be delivered be-
tween August 1st, 1913 and May 1st
1914.
The proper committee reported
that the new city scale has been in
stalled but the city was without a
scaler since Clerk Meyer had declin-
ed to attend to this work, the duties
Of his Office being already such that
he has not the time to attend to it.
The matter was disposed of by tenn
porarily engaging Otto Hartmann,
who is at present time collector for
the Light and Water department.
Councillors Hamann and Ruemke
voted against the acceptance of the
invitation of the 4th of July commit
tee to take part in the parade on the
ground that it is needless expense
for the city to hire carriages for
this purpose.
According to estimate No 3, sub
mitted and filed by City Engineer
Minium, contractor Elmer Haeberle
was allowed the sum of $1,O2204 for
work done in grading North Franklin
street.
Eugene Koehler was advised that
Lars Overn has commenced work on
the South German street sewer first
because it would have been more ex-
pensive for the contractor to trans
port materials if he had started op-
erations on the Broadway sewer first.
A building permit was granted to
the Citizens State Bank and after
allowing the bills for the month, an
adjournment was taken until Monday
evening, July 21st.

Store Building
Badly Damaged
Fire Eats Up Stock Of Second
Hand Goods.Night of Y
Fourth.
Everling and Stone Larson
n Cos. Also Suffer
Il Slightly.

But for combination Of favorable
circumstances New Ulm might have
suffered quite serious fire the night
OF the 4th when the building which has
been occupied by Roy L. Berg as .
second hand store was found to be
burning at Am. Considerable diff
Guilty was experienced in getting the
alarm sounded and fully fifteen
minutes elapsed before the fire-fghters
reached the scene. The favorable
ci, cumstances mentioned we're the
soaked condition of surrounding
buildings after the heavy rains OF the
3rd and 4th and the fact that the
building where the fire started had .
steel ceiling and tin roof which held
the flames in check. As it ives, the
interior of the Berg place was gutted
and the building ss it stands is fit to
be condemned. The roof Of the
Larson Garage WAS damaged slightly
also and the firemen had q hard fight
for two hours before they conquered
the agent of destruction.
Night Policeman Herzog was walk
ing south on Minnesots Street shortly
before 2 q. m. Saturday when he
noticed smoke issuicg from the rear
OF the Berg building. He at once ran
to Box "a at the corner of Center ST
The box registered the call but it did
not reach the station for some un.
known reason. Herzog blew his
whistle which was heard by Policeman
Emmerich and he got the people at
Gieseke's Livery started with the
horses and wagons. Meantime,
Herzog ran back to the FIRE and as the
fire signal had not sounded he burst
in the front doors of the place and
with flames shooting over his head
put in call by telephone. 1t was
necessary to call twice before the fire
station got the message and blew the
whistle. Between times Herzog was
busy waking the inmates of the ad-
joining buildings. Henry Schriefer
who occupies q room on the second
Hoor. of the Kaschau building was
found in a stupor rom the smoke that
filled the place and had to be dragged
out. Fred Brust and family also live
ln the same building and we're warned
out by Herzog.
The flames we're kept within the
walls of the Berg place except that
they ate thru the roof finally and
scorched the roof of the garage. 1t
has not been ascertained how the fire
1t evidently started in a
room used as repair shop located
about in the middle OF the building
and may have been a result Of spon
taueous combustion among varnishes
and oils. Occurring after an electrical
storm on the night of the 4th, there
are possible explanations galore.
Mr.. Berg had been transferring his
stock to his new location q block
south on Minnesota Street and as
his loss was less than it
night have been. It was adjusted at
bl77O 81 and the money paid him
Tuesday. He carried $500.
The Everling Electric Co. also
suffered loss by the breaking Of glass
electric supplies in moving them ont
# danger and we're paid s145. Fred
3rust's furniture was battered up to

Bring Back Two Hundred and Twenty
 Seven Mallard Ducks.
 Charles F. Dean, Louis Bonfiglio, Erwin Keller, Carl Wilson and "Yop'' Sleighton, composed a hunting party that returned from Stuttgart yester- day and with them they brought back 227 mallard ducks, the result of a three days hunt.
 The party was piloted on the hunt by a young man named McCallum, who lives at Stuttgart Mir Dean had the following to say of the trip.
 q have done some lively duck hunting in my time" said MT. Dean today, but l was never on a trip of this nature that l enjoyed more or had greater success than this one. have never seen more competent guide than young McCallum, and we certainly recommend him highly to sportsmen who enjoy clean sport of this kind. That young fellow can charm a duck from the clouds Time and again he would call them. He initiates them perfectly, and the an sweTing squawk never failed to come from the ducks, no matter how hig they were flying"

COURT CRITICISM
 IS NOT JUSTIFIED
NEW YORK JUSTICE TAKES TAFT AND ROOSEVELT TO TASK
 FOR UTTERANCEs.

Albany, N. Y, Dec. 1S.-Criticsm of courts made by both former Presi- dents Taft and Roosevelt was termed 'unjustified" tonight by Chief Jus.ic Edgar M. Cullen of the New York state court of appeals. The justice will retire next month under the age law. His remarks were made at a banquet given him by the Albany County Bar Association Technicali- ties, red tape and an imperfect jury system, he declared, were responsible for many alleged miscarriages of jus tice for which the bench was held re sponsible. In this connection he call ed attention to the Thaw case, saying whole responsibility for the miscar- riage of justice in this case was due to the action of lhe jury"
 Judge Cullen declared he was ia vorable to the appointment rather than the election of judges
 'These criticisms have been great ly fosteded by the public addresses of the two living expresidents of this country, both of whom 1 have the honor of knowing, and both of whom in their personal characters I highly respect he declared. q resent their criticism not because l believe that courts more than any other hu- man institution should be exempt from criticism, but because I think in both eases the criticism is unjustified.

THE PARTY WHIP.

In this progressive age when people l as rule read widely and study gov | ernmental affairs, and when there is a general disposition to adhere to the rule of efficiency and better gov ernment, rather than to hew close to line fixed by few party represen- tatives, we find tho State Democratic Central Committee adopting a rule prohibiting any man from voting in a state primary unless within the past year he has voted a democratic ticket.
 Of course the wisdom and the rule of the state committee will be the law to many, but the move will not go far towards increasing the ranks of the democratic party.
 Under such a rule, where is the democratic party to ever gain its add ed strength? Unless a man voted the party ticket 12 months before, he can not vote in primary. The rule seems to shut the gate to any new democratic primary voters unless they happened to be "born" demo crats, in which event the gate might be opened bit and they permitted to squeeze in.
 Perhaps the state committee, real izing its present majority in Arkan- sas, reached a conclusion that it's power was sufficient to any end. But what of the future?
 Suppose the republican party adop- ted such a rule. In the last election that party was rent in twain, and lost. Its hope for the future is the welding together of the divided for ces. Can a few men in a committee meeting declare no such thing will happen to the democratic party.
 The democrat in the ranks will probably do his own choosing in the future as he has done in the past. If the ticket is worthy of support it will be supported by those of a dem- ocratic leaning If the ticket is un- worthy of support it is not likely that threat of being banished from democratic party ranks will force the issue.
 Office holders and politicians will probably regard the rule as a splen. did one, particularly to a party that is strongly entrenched when the rule is made. But then it must be remem- bered that office holders and politi- cians do not always control do not always rule, and that perhaps the ap- plication of this special rule by the state organization may have to be aD. rogated at any time.
