We Win You Lose.

Fans who expected the locals to run
away With the team from Nicollet were
handed big surprise at the Associa.
ton Ball Park Sunday afternoon.
The Nicollet boys came to New Ulm
to win Sunday and played the game
of their lives. Hippert was on the
mound for the visitors and he pitched
great ball. His fast ball was too
much for the A. A. sluggers and
eleven were retired via the strike-out
route. The game developed into a
pitchers battle between Huhn who did
the twirling for the locals, and Hip
pert. The locals succeeded in connect
ing safely five times with Hippert's
shoots while the best Nicollet could do
was to connect safely once. Burg OF
Nicollet beat out a slow one to the
third thus robbing HUM OF a no hit
game. "Chick'' was in great form
and held the Nicollet batters at bay at
all times striking out eight. On
account of several of the A. A. boys
being in camp it was found necessary
to switch the lineup considerably.
Poland was pulled in from the field
and held down second while r. Dahms
was switched from second to third.
Ed. Baer was out in an A. A. uniform
and played field taking care Of H.
Dahms' garden. With the regular
lineup the score might have been
somewhat different. The final score
was 2 to 0. This is the fourth shut
out the locals have administered to
visiting teams this season.

Tribute to the Band.

The following communication which
was received by Capt. Jos. G. Hof.
meister just before he left for camp
gives expression tc what Col. Wright,
in common with many others, thinks
of our gallant End Regiment Band.
The city in general is united in its
high opinion of our musical organi-
cation and is wholly justified in its
appreciation of the capabilities of the
leader and his group of real musicians.

John 4. johnson Memorial.

The John Albert johnson memorial
statue, a duplicate Of the one on the
State Capitol grounds, St. Paul, ar
rived in st. Peter last week, ship
ment being made by freight to Hon.
H. N. Benson, the chairman OF the
local committee. The replica was
made in Paris by the sculptor An
drew O'Connor, the designer Of the
original. The bronze statue weigh
ing in the neighborhood Of three tons,
eight feet six inches nj height, care
fully Grated to avoid any mishap or
injury, has been transported from
the Omaha depot and is now "A
storage. It WILDE set in place on the
site selected on the northwest corner
of the court house grounds in time
for the dedication and memorial ex-
ercises to be held some time in Sep
tember.
In a recent letter to Chairman
Benson of the local committee, Char
les w. Ames, secretary Of the Gov
ernor John Albert johnson Memoir
ial commission, states that the ped
estal, which is being hewn out of St.
Cloud granite, will be inscribed and
ready for shipment in about three
weeks. Granite benches in harmony
with the rest of the memorial will
be ordered by the local committe.
They will likewise come from St.
Cloud and be made of the same ma
terial as the pedestal.
The State commission is contrib
uting part of the funds towards
the cost of the work, while the cit
izens of St. Peter and Nicollet county
are raising the balance. With the
funds now on hand it is estimated
that between six and seven hundred
dollars more will have to be contrib
uted locally. The monument COM
plete, including improvement OF the
grounds and freight on the statue
and pedestal will cost approximately
$4,000. The local committee does not
anticipate any difficulty in making
good St. Peters share to cover the
balance of costs.
The local committee consisting OF
Henry N. Benson, chairman, H. L.
Stark, Judge Henry Moll, Geo. w.
Mason and H. J. Essler, has not made
definite arrangements as yet as to
the memorial exercise, but in a ten
tative way have agreed upon Sep
tember 21, 1918, the anniversary Of
Governor Johnson's death, as the date
for the holding of the dedication and
1t is proposed to have the
event in keeping with the spirit of
the occasion, and to arrange pro-
gram appropriate to the memory OF

States cherished executives. Peter

Mr.. Vogel has been collecting coins
for quite . number Of years and has
an extensive collection which be
values at $500. It seems strange that
yeggmen should allow the gold coins
to slip thru their fingers and leave
them behind. The only satisfactory
explanation that can be offered is that
they were amateurs at the business
and we're afraid that the coins il found
in their possession might lead to their
undoing. Notes and checks in con-
siderable amount In the third drawer
were left untouched also. All this
time $500 in currency was resting in
the burglar chest OF the safe to which
it had been transferred from the cash
drawer the evening before. The
burglars evidently did not know about
this and even if they had it would
have avsiled them nothing, because
they probably had not the requisite
tools to break into the chest.
Upon being notified, the police i'm.
medistely made careful and thorough
search of both places and afterwards
rounded up all the hobos in town.
Altho closely questioned nothing could
be learned from them which would
connect anyone with the burglary
which looks Is tho it would remain an
unsolved mystery.

Another Bit of Dirty Work That
Looks Like Spite.

Another instance of the dirty
work that some dealers seem to like
is furnished from NEW ULM,
MINI, where, owing apparently to
personal grudge, a purchaser OF
one of The most distinguished pianos
in the country traded it for a less
prominent make, and wrote letter
which the dealer who made the trade
has largely circulated in the neigh
borhood of NEW ULM, in the ef-
fort to discredit the higher class in
strument
When the purchaser bought the
first piano he gave note in pay
ment, which the dealer discounted
at his local bank. This fact is said
to have greatly angered the buyer
and apparently he has had a grudge
against the dealer ever since car
rying it to such point thar he ex-
changed the piano for another and
wrote letter stating that the first
piano was unsatisfactory the letter
which the second dealer is SO indus
triously circulating.
From what we learn the whole af-
fair seems contemplate piece of
spite work.
The fact that we have sold nearly
200 of the famous Baldwin line of
pianos in and around NEW ULM
bears evidence of the true value and
merits of this fine line of instru-
ments. Every competent judge of
this truly good piano being a satis-
fed customer.

When he found several years ago
that he could not do any work with

upon a contract with a number of
sporting men of Toledo, Ohio, to 70 axe

However, the $4,000 dream had melted
into thin air: the sports had dis

s3S to show for his pedestrian efforts.
He then entered into contract with a
Mexican Land Agency to advertise
their lands by walking from Toledo to

again add to the difficulty Of obtain
ing successful results.
The plumbing equipment is entire
4 " inadequate and unsanitary and
would have to be changed, and this
change would necessitate consider
able more expense than q new install
lation in new building.
The condition Of the building be-
ing as it is, we would unqualifiedly
recommend the removal Of this build
ing entirely and the erection Of .
new building on its site. We would
suggest that the heating plant be in
stalled in separate building and
placed between the new building and
the present high school building and
that both buildings be heated from
this one pl. .seh an installation
could be made SO as to save consider
able expense in fuel and maintenance.
The present high school building
could be adapted for grade school
with very slight changes, particular
~ on the second floor, and in this
building the toilet equipment is not
satisfactory and would have to be
modernized throughout.
1t will be impossible for your
city to make a satisfactory business
investment by altering in any way
whatever the present Union building,
because the expense of putting this
building in condition, including the
heating plant and the new plumbing
would entail an expenditure of more
than $4,000. 1t would probably run
very close to $4,000 and such sum
spent for installing new work in an
old building, which in itself, has
deteriorated to such an extent,
would be most unwise thing to do,
and we trust, in order that New Ulm
may have a high school building in
accordance with the high standard
of present day buildings, that the
Board may see its way clear to adopt
the suggestion of the removal of the
Union Building and the placing Of
new high school building on that site.
Yours very truly,
BELL, TYRE & CHAPMAN.
By wv. W.~T)"
The important items to be noted in
the above are the three negative
statements made, viz: 1st, A third
building CAN NOT be placed on the
Public Square; End, The present
high school building WILL NOT ad-
nit of remodelling to incorporate it
in the new building; 3rd, The Union
building IS NOT fit for remodelling
in any form; and the positive state
ment that the only practical thing to
do is to raze the old Union building to
make space for new, modern build
ing constructed to meet the needs of
the city.
There are many minor details of
heating, plumbing, lighting, and
sanitation mentioned which need close
attention, and running thru it all is
the consideration of the economical
use of funds. These problems will
occupy the Board for months, and
they have retained the services of
Bell, Tyrie & Chapman to aid in the
solution. Architect Herman ANIME
will be in charge of the actual work
as Superintendent of Construction.

One day last week there appeared or
the street colporteur wagon, man.
aged by Ira j. Beach of Dakota,
MINI. His wagon was drawn by a
fine gray horse and he carried ten,
and full set of cooking utensils all
ready for camping out. Mr.. Beach is
q religious enthusiast and sells and
gives away bibles and religious tracts
to anyone and everyone he meets. He
is ever ready to preach, pray or, tell OF
the faith within him. On driving up
in front of the Stockstead restaurant,
the signs on his covered wagon
attracted lot of boys and even the
editor was drawn there to learn who
the fellow was, who had nerve or grace
enough to 60 about preaching the
gospel. Mr.. Beach was glad to see
US and also the boys, and the first
question was as to whether we went to
church, was a Christian and knew
anything about the bible. He asked
the lot OF boys if they went to Sunday
school. He offered to buy an ice
cream cone for any boy who could
quote verse in the bible, and would
you believe it, not boy. in about
twenty could win that ice cream cone.
A half dozen men who we're in the
crowd got out of the way for fear they
would be asked to try and win a cone
of ice cream. After distributing lot
of religious tracts IN town, Mr.. Beach
went on his way rejoicing. But just
think of all those boys losing that ice
cream cone. - Sleepy Eye Herald

Considerable mystery surrounds the
injuries sustained by stranger about
half mile west Of Essig Monday
afternoon which brought him nearer
to Deaths door than he had ever been
before in his life. A section hand

discovered him shortly after 5 5o'clock

high. the first one out from Essig. He

him brought down on the same train
to New Ulm and taken out to the
Loretto Hospital.
At the hospital, aided by DR..

local surgeon, DR.. Welcome made
thoro examination of the injured man.
It was found that his shoulder blade
and his left arm we're broken, that be
was bruised about the head and had
suffered internal injuries. When
questioned he gave his name IS
Andrew Barnett. he first stated he
had been stoned and robbed by COM
panions and thrown off the bridge
and later on modified this statement
by saying that he had fallen of the
bridge.

longings disclosed 81 IS change tied
up in a handkerchief. The circum-
stance speaks against the robbery
theory. The bridge being so very low,
however, it seems almost unbelieve.
able that he should have sustained all
the injuries mentioned by simply
falling from the bridge.
He was seen in the local railroad
yards about noon Sunday and made
favorable impression upon the police.
The last seen of the man by Ed.
Wagner, the Essig saloonkeeper was
about one O'Clock Monday afternoon
when the man was in his place of
business, ate his lunch and drank a
few glasses of beer.
It is barely possible that Barnett
after leaving Wagner's saloon hit the
ties for Sleepy Eye and when on the
bridge, whether awake or asleep, was
struck by the passenger going west
and almost killed. The robbery
theory has not been dropped by the
authorities altogether, and Sheriff
Julius accompanied by County Com.
missioner Graft left for Essig yester-
day afternoon to make as thoro az
investigation as is possible under the
Monday night Barnett
was in bad shape and it was thought
that he could not live till morning.
Since then his condition has taken
sudden change for the better and it
can now be stated with some degree of
that he will recover. AS
soon as his mind is cleared up a little
more, he may be able to give more
definite information as to how be came
by his injuries and thereby dispel the
IN ystery that now surrounds his case.

ROADS AFFECT MARKET.
Farmers Are Heaviest Sufferers in
Bad Weather.

Where bad roads prevail farmers
are forced to move their crops not
when the market price is favorable
but when roads are unfavorable and
frequently at heavy pecuniary loss as
result, according to the office Of
public roads of the Department Of
Agriculture. In a statement it cites
specific cases of such losses, the in
formation being based on data gath
cred by it's expedts.
Excessive fluctuations in market
prices are seldom due to overproduc-
tion," the statement asserts. "They
frequently take place in regions
where the local production does not
equal the consumption. There are
counties rich in agricultural posi-
bilities, burdened with bad roads,
where the annual incoming ship
ments of food exceed the outgoing
shipments in the ratio Of four to
one. Many such counties with i'm
proved roads would not ship pro-
ducts to other markets"
