Wreck on Stub Line.

What is known among railroad men
IS q "kink' in the rails was respon-
sible for the dersilment of several
freight cars and consequent delay in
traffic over the ''siub'' line to Mankato
last week Monday and Tuesday. The
track between New Ula snd st. Peter
over the old line is known for it's ten
dency to ''creep'' and 'skinkn and
when the l2:40 freight going east from
New Ulm had gotten within three
miles of St. Peter about O'Clock
Monday afternoon the rails bent in
such fashion as to derail five OF the
freight cars.
Two of the cars we're SO badly
smashed up that they we're destroyed.
Conductor Krouch and Brakeman
Odekirk, both Of Wsseca, we're slight
ly injured but NO one else wac hurt
and the other cars derailed we're
righted and sent on their way. The
wrecking outfit from Waseca came up
Monday night and worked at clearing
the track until noon Tuesday when the

Elevator Burns at Lamberton.

Friday morning about 3 o'clock the
Spaulding elevator at LambertOn with
its contents and the wood in the ad'
joining wood yard we're destroyed by
fire. The origin OF the fire is moi
known. Ten carloads Of coal and
coke, 1900 bushel of grain and
several carloads of hard maple cord
wood were consumed and for aNtime
the adjoining lumber yard and r. c.
Steinhauser's barn were in danger.
The only thing that saved these
buildings and Lam berton from con-
flagratiOn which would have wiped
out most of the business section, was
the fact that the roofs we're soaked
with the rain and snow that fell the
previous day. Monday the shoulder
ing ruins we're still burning. We
have been unable to learn, how much
if any, insurance was carried by the
owners. The elevator at one time was
the property of the New Clm Roller

Plans For New Building.

The Board of Education met Mon
day evening to consider some of the
plans and specifications prepared BY
Architect ANIME Tor the construction
of the new building that has become
an imperative necessity. The Board
first passed q resolution upon the
necessity of the construction of q new
High School Building to cost not to
exceed SIS, 900. A second resolution
was passed calling for special elec-
ton to be held the evening OF May 3rd
to vote on the erection of the building
and on the issuance Of bonds to pay

spent in the discussion of the plans
submitted by the architect and very
satisfactory plan was shown worked
out to accommodate the entire high

for a commercial department and
home economics courses besides the
of the manual training
and mechanical drawing quarters.
Mr.. ANIME thinks the building can be
put up for S65, 600 and the Board is OF
the opinion that if this can be done
the money will be very we'll spent.

Ostby Returned 10 st. Peter

BjO"n Ostby, the Duluth parricide,
who escaped from the criminal ward
at st. Peter on the night of July q,
1912 by lowering himself from an
upper window, was captured in Chi
cago on March 23d and has been re-
turned to the asylum From his story
Lit seems that he walked to a point
south of Mankato and there worked
for farmer several days. later going
to Iowa. From there he finally drifted
to Chicago.
Ostby's recspture came about in an
unusual way. On Easter Sunday he
followed q Chicago boy who was
wearing a valuable diamond ring, the
jewel having attracsed the maniac's
attention. To evsde Ostby the boy
boarded a street car, and rode for
some distance, but Ostby could not be
shaken OF. When the pair alighted
Ostby tried to grasp the boy, and the
lstisr, thoroughly frightened. started
to ,uu. Ostby gave chase, and pur.

druggist summoned policeman and
had Ostby placed under arrest.

irmed, and the Chicago authorities
were directed to hold the prisoner
until Dr. Basket and Mr.. Anderson
could reach that city. However. when
they arrived he would give them nc
information. He declared they were
utter strangers to him, and denied
ever having been an inmate of the
local hospital. Even after being
brought back to St. Peter he would
not admit that his surroundings were
familiar.
Before Ostby became secretive he
said that he had been employed in the
offices of the Pennsylvania railroad.
1t was found that he had held clerk
ship, and had been at work about two
weeks. When arrested he wore the
same clothes he had on when he left
St. Peter. He had q valuable watch
at the time, but it would seem that
necessity compelled him to dispose of

second apportionment for the year
out of the State School fund and
schools tbruout the county will have
the sum of $3.50 to use in meeting
their expenses. This apportionment
is based on the number of pupils in
the state who attend school 40 days or
more during the school year. Twice
q year the interest money derived
from moneys loaned out of the State
School Fund is divided among the
school districts, each drawing an
amount proportioDate to the number
of pupils between the ages Of and Fl
years attending the required number
Of days. AS Brown County had 384O
pupils credited with 10 days or more
of attendance the amount per pupil
wss On even q. This is about the
usual amount altho at times it runs
higher.
New Ulm, naturally gets the largest
amount, $3.50, more than one fifth Of
ell the money received by the county.
Sleepy Eye follows next with s76O. 90,
little less than bali what New Ulm
schools receive. Springfield comes
third with $3.50. Hanska gets 5l36,
Comfrey s2O2 and Evan sl20. OF the
rural schools Dist. No. 81 in Albin
gets the largest amount, slO2, while
Goshen is at the foo, OF the list with
only $1,000.
Jtmight be interesting to think oi
how far this money would go. Take
the sum allotted New Ulm, $3.50. 4
would cover large per cent OF the
salary paid annually to a superin'
tendent; it would pay two high school
teachers or three grade teachers. II
would help considerably to put a
much needed library into the school.
It wouldn't go great ways toward
furnishing a chemistry and physics
laboratory such as many Of the high
schools have nowadays and it would
be only about one third OF the sum
required for each OF the extra sixteen
or eighteen rooms needed to accommo-
date the pupils and the subjects they
should have chance to take up. But
comforting thought lies in the fact
that the apport,onment fund will buy
something like 300 tons of coal and
that will last quite a while.
But what can Goshen buy with the
munificent sum ofs10? What, indeed?
1t wont pay teachers salary for
more than one week. A fairly good
globe can be purchased for that price,
very likely, or a new piece of slate
blackboard, the delight of a rural
school teacher Maybe Goshen is
we'll supplied With these necessary
articles and doesn't need the money
for teachers salary. In that case,
Goshen too, can buy coal with that
$40.
1t is plain 70 be seep that in Goshen
as in New Ulm, il the patrons of the
school wish the school to be supplied
with all it needs, the patrons must
furnish the price. Is New Ulm ready
to respond? ...e,.... ....- .

Touched Her sympathy.

A kind-hearted lady was collecting
for the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children. She paid Sc
ries of house-to-house visits, and at
one door her knock was answered by
q rather stupid-looking servant, says
Parsons Weekly.
The lady explained her errand; that
she was collecting small sums for the
funds of the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Children, but the
girl found this title rather too much
OF a mouthful. She went upstairs to
the nursery, where her mistress was
hard at work bathing and dressing
half a dozen lively, shouting children,
and trying at the same time to coax
the recently arrived baby to go to
sleep, and announced: 'Please'm,
there's somebody at the door collect
in for the Society for the Prevention
of Children"
The worried mother sent down a
willing donation of half a dollar.

Uncle Sam as a Solomon.

The departments at Washington are
now and then called upon to settle
petty questions of the most intimate
personal nature. For instance, the
treasury department once acted as
Judge in a dispute between man and
wife.
This couple had had q spirited
struggle for the possession of several
bank notes, each holding fast to the
end of the roll" A tcn-dollar bill
was torn across the middla, and each
contestant carried off one-half of it
In triumph. Just here the treasury
department was brought into the dis
pute. 1t received half of the bill
from the wife, with the statement
that the other half had been de-
stroyed, and she requested a new
bill. In a short time there arrived
the second half of the bill from the
husband, with a similar statement
and request. AS the government then
had both ends of the bill. it rem
dered a Solomon-like decision and
awarded five dollars to each of the
aimants.-Harper' Weekly.

GOOD EATERS AS GOOD WIVES

Marry a woman who is fond of her
meals. If you wish to be happy hus-
band, see that she shows discrimination
and anxious care In the choice of food
and drink for herself.
Never marry a woman who will
have high tea when you are not at
home to dinner. The same remark
applies to the woman who looks on a
dinner properly selected and carefully
set up with the fitting accompaniment
Of glittering glass and spotless cutlery
as merely a pandering to the brutal
instincts of man"
This was told by an expert who has
studied the question.
IF mothers would only teach their
daughters" he added, ito enjoy their
food and make 1t JOY for the hus-
band. there would be fewer disastrous
marriages.
The majority of women toy with
their food and do not understand the
enjoyment that large meal well pre-
pared and properly set out gives to a
healthy man. How often does wife
profess a quiet disgust for her hus-
band who insists on having good
meals.
