That the passenger traffic on the
,orthwestern must have been heavy
Wednesday. particularly on train No.
5I4. leaving New Inn at 3:39. may
be concluded from an assertion
made by one of New Ulm's promi-
nent citizens, who stated that several
passengers were compelled to take
to the baggage car instead of be-
ing comfortably seated in one of the
day coaches. Whether such condi-
tons existed on that particular train,
cannot be positively stated, but it
is a known fact that very often the
afternoon train is crowded almost to
the limit and many complaints have
been made, says the New Ulm
Journal
Several years ago the railroad
company attempted an experiment,
that of running a local train from
New Ulm to Winona, but this was
abandoned and now this local pas
senger operates only from Mankato
to the Gate City. This train leaves
Mankato shortly after the noon hour
and arrives at it's destination at
about six o'clock. Several citizens
have been living in hopes of secur-
ing the service of this local train
out of New Ulm. Through such
train accommodations, the local leav.
ing New Ulm probably at eleven
o'clock or shortly after, good con
nections could be made with St
Paul, via the Omaha road, so that
the cities could be reached by three
o'clock in the afternoon, as well as
benefiting all passenger traffic
which would extend east of Manka
to OIL the Northern main line. The
often crowded condition Of the after
noon train, which now practically
handles all traffic east of here
would b. avoided.
Would Make New Ulm the Terminal
1t would be necessary TO make
New Ulm the tern>.-- -" .h's loca

even Tracy. If such train could be
started at Tracy, it would be very

train, which now terminates here
at $50. as far west as Tracy ant
use the same passenger crew ant
train to provide for the local trair
accommodations. Such service woult
undoubtedly be well appreciated b,
the patrons of the railroad and un
doubtedly prove paying PROPOSE

General Agent Starr, when asket
as to whether any possible loca

vided, refused to make any state
ment. Several business men, VIII
have on previous occasions discuss
ed the situation are very much Il

the railroad company will endeavo

Henry Ulmen was brought before
Judge w. l.. Comstock, i'm the mu-
nicipal court, this morning, on
charge Of disorderly conduct, the
complaint being made by his wife
Ulman came home yesterday after
noon in drunken condition and
commenced to abuse his wife
because she had been down town,
telling her that her proper place
was at home. Words led to more
words and finally Ulman slapped
her face and otherwise caused a dis
turbance, so it was alleged The
court found Ulmen guilty of the
charge and he was sent to the county
Jail for period of fifteen days. An
effort was made to discover where
Ulmen got his liquor for he is post
ed in the saloons of this city. He
did not incriminate any of the local
saloon men and said that he pur-
chased the booze in Mapleton and
brought it to this city. This is
probable, as he has been working
there lately.

WAR HE'LL? IT IS WORSE


War Is worse than hell is the
word brought back by surgeons
and other observers returning from
Balkan battlefields.
The side OF war that deals only
with the suffering and not with
the glory shows that civilization
has accomplished little except to IN
crease its horrors.
Men accustomed to sights of suf-
fering and sorrow declare that
never has there been anything in
their experience TO equal the
scenes witnessed in the Balkans.
More and More CHASTITY
They have made calculations
based on other wars, and their cold,
analytic conclusions are that war
is becoming more and more ter
rlble. and that IL will be more muir
derous In the future than ever.
II is true. they declare. that war.
are shorter than they used to be
and II is probable there Will never
be another that will last 10. 90 or
30 years, as has been the case in
the past. This simply means that
the blows struck are heavier and
that battle is less humane.
The Franco-Prussian war lasted
but short time-a few months
and the German army lost 10 killed
for every IS wounded. In the war
between Japan and Russia in
19O4-05 there were 10 killed for 3S
wounded.
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1913-09-13

The popular impression is that
wounds made by the modern steel
jacketed bullet are not severe be-
cause Of its great penetrating pow.
ers and rapid revolution.
While there have been many IN
stances OF wounds thus inflicted
which were not serious. the chance
of a serious wound was largely In
creased by the introduction of tho
steel-jacketed bullet. according to
the experts.
The bullet, with the modern rife,
has n longer range and is liable to
lose its jacket When this hap
pens 1t becomes a jagged. tearing
mass OF soft lead that makes fright
full wounds.
Liable TO Be Bent
The bullet is also liable to strike
something else before II hits it's
victim and become bent. A smal.-
hard stone will bend a steel bullet
almost into right angle, and its
tearing power when il hits n
fearful.
But II is not alone the rife that
inflicts the bad wounds The per.
lection of field artillery has ems
larged the sphere OF horror. Where
as in the Franco-Prussian war the
number OF wounds caused by BURST
ing shells was 81 per thousand
troops engaged. the number in the
Balkan war was 500 per thousand,
or four times greater.
