MADAME X at Turner Theatre
Monday

Alexander Bisson's famous gripp-
ing play, "Msdame X'', with Miss
Alice DeLane in the title role, will be
seen for the first time in this city at
the Turner Theatre next Monday
evening, September %. The play tells
the story of a woman who has made a
false step and afterward comes back
to her former home to seek the for
giveness of her husband, who at the
time turns her away in bitterness.
She then pleads to see their child, a
boy four years old who Is lying at the
point of death. but that privilege is
also refused her. Heart broken she
turns back into the path in which she
has fallen and finally becomes an alb
synthe fiend. She shoots her para
mour when he attempts to extort
money from her former husband. Her
son, who has grown to manhood, hears
of her case and offers to defend her,
and does so, not knowing of course
tn at this woman is his mother until
after the trial and she is acquitted.
The father who has been an invited
guest to the judges bench, recognizes
"Madame x" as his wife. He tells
the son, but 1t is too late, as the strain
has been too much for her and she
passes to the great beyond before they
zach her side.
This play Is one of the most interest
ing ever produced and is handled by
q most capable cast.

Manager Kohn Resigns and Re.
considers s

Evidently piqued by the editorial in
last weeks issue Of the Review calling
attention to the unsatisfactory tele-
phone service the public was receiv-
ing, Otto Kohn, manager of the New
Ulm Rural Telephone Company, ten
dered his resignation.
To consider this and also the COM
plants about the poor service, the d.
rectors held special meeting Thurs
day afternoon. It developed at the
meeting that the. criticisms of the
Review were not without foundation
and the directors went on record that
the service must be improved at once,
for which they are entitled to due
credit.
As an excuse for the unsatisfac-
tory service it is claimed that it be-
came necessary to put on several
new operators recently, and that
within the short space of time that
they have been employed it was sim
ply impossible for them to acquire
the speed that is necessary to han
die the work satisfactorily. Another
point that was urged for the unsat-
isfactory conditions is the circum-
stance that so many of the patrons
call by name instead of by number
and that the operators are thereby
forced to spend a great deal Of val
liable time which should be devoted
to the service, to looking up the
numbers which should be done by
the subscribers.
To improve conditions it was de-
cided to insist that hereafter patrons
call up by number instead Of by
name. An additional operator is to
be engaged and Mr.. Kohn, who was
prevailed upon to reconsider his res.
ignation, is to be relieved from the
line service so that he can devote
his entire time to the home office
With these changes it is hoped that
the service can be rapidly improved

ciative audience. This in measure
helped to accentuate the good feeling
already existing and in short time
other singers responded with "Der
Boehmer Wald" and other well known
melodies.
The celebration can be put down
as an unqualified success. The re:
ceipts. will be sufficient to pay all
the expenses and that is all the COM
mittee hoped to do. It was not ar
ranged for the purpose Of making
money. The main object was to
give the old pioneers good time
and in this the committee was emil
nently successful. Especial credit is
due the Junior Pioneer ladies for
their liberal donations and for their
untiring zeal.

Tax Commission
Is. Is Not Satisfied Z!
Orders a Re.Assessment OF
the "Moneys and
Credits
Returns in Some Portions OF
H.. Brown County Too
Low.

Cou aty Auditor Louis G. Vogel
received q communication from the
Minnesota Tax Commission Monday
morning notifying him that q re-.
assessment of the moneys and
credits had been ordered for the
towns of Burnstown, Milford and
Stark. The letter goes on to state
that other towns in the County are
nearly as poor and that warning
had been sent out to the assessors OF
these towns to the effect that better
returns must be forthcoming next
year. Last year Springfield and New
Ulm we're under the ban and re-
assessment of the moneys and
credits'' was ordered and carried
thru.
The reassessment is to be made by
special assessor who will be ap-
pointed by the commission later. He
is expected to make fair and i'm
partial reassessment of the "moneys
and credits" of the towns in question.
He is advised by the commission to
consult with the County Auditor and
any other reliable persons who are
familiar with the financial standing OF
the inhabitants.
To the list returned by the regular
assessor may be added the names OF
any persons who the special assessor
has reason to believe have moneys
and Credits subject 10 assessment.
To all OF them is to be sent the
Especial assessors letter" and also a
copy of the assessment list which is to
be filed out. After this preliminary
work is completed, the regular assess
ment work is to be taken up and care
fully but speedily carried thru.
The compensation of the assessor
will be $3.50 for each day actually
consumed in the work. It is expected
that only few days will be required
to finish each district and that it
should in no event exceed q days. All
the supplies will be furnished the
special assessor by the County Auditor
to whom they are sent by the Com
mission. The County Auditor expects
the appointment of the special assessor
to be made soon.

lightning struck the chimney OF the
Northwestern freight depot at about
five O'Clock. No serious damage was
done, but some of the bricks were torn
loose from the chimney and SCOT and
dust was scattered everywhere. The
incident, however, threw a scare into

sprinefle Men Killed.

c. H. Crawford OF Springfield, for
over forty years resident Of Brown
county and 7S years old, met terrible
death at that place last Tuesday
afternoon when he vas struck and run
over by q freight train, near the old
J. r. Schmid elevator and both of
his limbs we're badly crushed. The
injured man was taken to St. Johns
hospital where the attending ply.
sicians attempted to save his life by
amputating the members, but the loss
OF blood and the general shock to the
system were so great that he did not
rally and death ensued few hours
after the accident occurred. Coroner
DR.. G. F. Reineke of this city was
notified and drove to Springfield for
the purpose of making post-mortem
ex amin alton. AS q result OF his eXa-
mination and investigation he pro-
nounced death due to an accident
none of the railway employees being in
any way to blame. .. -
From what we were able to learn MIR.
Crawford had gone to the depot to
mail letter, it being too late to have
it included in the pouch at the post
Office. 1t seems that he made it q
practice to gather spilled grain along
the railroad track and he apparently
had intended doing this Tuesday for
he carried an empty sack under his
arm. The west-bound freight train,
which had just entered the Springfield
railroad yards, was switching cars
and the unfortunate man attempted to
Cross the tracks between two OF the
freight cars. He was knocked over
and one of the brakemen saw him fall.
Running to his assistance the rail
road employe reached Mr.. Crawford's
side just as the near trucks OF the
moving car had passed over his
limbs, and with some effort he sue
ceeded in pulling the man to safety.
The right limb was frightfully
crushed between the knee and ankle,
while the left leg was nearly severed
just above the knee. In spite of his
grave injuries Mr.. Crawford remained
conscious and as soon as he arrived
at the hospital he asked that the
members of his family be summoned
to his bedside as he seemed to realize
that death was at hand. His wish was
granted and Mrs. Crawford and their
daughter, Mrs. M. S. Wilson, arrived
at the hospital before the amputation
was undertaken. The meeting of the
dying man and his wife and daughter
under such sad circumstances was
heart-rending.
Mr.. Crawford was veteran OF tie
Civil war and after serving out his
enlistment returned to Tomah, Wis,
in which vicinity he devoted his time
to tilling the soil, until the year ls7C
when he came to Minnesota and located
on q soldiers claim of 16O acres in
the town of Stately, this county.
Several years ago he retired from
active farm life and had since resided
at Springfield. Aside from his grief
stricken widow and the daughter
named above, he is survived by two
sons, William Crawford of Sheppard, ,
Mich. and O. G. Crawford of James
town, N. D.

BY means of the telephone, assistance

Australian Beef Coming

The first effect of the free list in
the new tariff bill is seen in the ar
rangements already making to bring
Australians beef and mutton into San
Francisco in large quantities. The
Union Steamship company has order
er four large refrigerator ships in Eng
land to be devoted to this trade, while
an independent dealer has contracted
for all the refrigerating space on the
company's present three ships.
San Francisco needs this relief less
than the East does, because the indie
pendent butchers on the Pacific Coast
have been able TO make more head
way against the Chicago packers than
the Eastern men have. having fewer
people to feed and bigger ranges to
draw from. But they get the relief
first because they are nearer to Aus
tralia. The rest of us will get it later.

forces which the prospect of free

cation that the presidents belief that

the highway question we entirely lose
sight of these large economic gains
which must inevitably flow from the
construction of permanent highways;
they are not in evidence in any ap
preciable degree as a result of the
present system and we can only see
them by thoughtful examination of the
whole problem and the ways and
means of accomplishing a realization
of what is now dream.
at is estimated that thes State of
Maine reaps harvest of tourist bust
ness every year worth twenty-five
million dollars; that New Hampshires

exceeds fifteen million dollars; that
Massachusetts gathers forty million
dollars every year Probably three
or four million would cover the total

nually crowded with summer people
who pay fabulous prices for the enter

that section of the State solely for the
reason that the scenery is beautiful

the whole State has the Berkshire
hills 'frazzled from end to end, save
for highways and hotels With high
ways will come hotels; with high
ways and hotels will come the tour

FREAK HAPPENING
SAVED PASSENGERS
THROWN UPWARD BY SHOCK OF
IMPACT, THEY AVOIDED
CRASH OF SEATS.

Director John J. Owen, of the de-
partment of agriculture, who was
passenger OF one of the two Southern
trains wrecked in the head-on col
lision near Jennings, Va, Sunday at
ternoon, returned to his desk in the
Capitol yesterday none the worse for
thrilling experience beyond a few
bruises.
Mr.. Owens, who gives a graphic ac-
count of the accident, relates the very
unusual experience OF himself and five
fellow passengers who were in the
smoking compartment Of the passen-
ger coach when The collision occurred.
which la Interesting In that IL shows
the freakish happenings incident TO
accidents of this kind. ~, ., .f,,a
The six men were seated facing
each other on the two long seats OF
the compartment, calmly smoking and
chatting when the trains came to-
getlier. There was no warning. OF
course. and the shock of the impact
was so great as to lift them bodily
from the seats and send them ceiling
ward, as though charge of dynamite
had been placed under them. MIR.
Owens bruises came from the con-
tact OF his head against the roof OF
the car. AT the same moment the two
long, heavy seats were jerked from
their moorings and thrown together,
and when the smokers alighted from
their sudden ascension they had soft
spot to land upon. The point is, how
ever. that had they not been thrown
upward, the crashing together of the
two seats would probably have broken
six pairs of limbs, go the freaktsh
performance was after all providen-
tial.
The only injuries sustained by the
passengers came from the shower of
flying glass, which, Mr.. Owen says,
rained upon them as though 1t was
being fred from guns
