more than year from date, as the last

siderable of the road is already in good
condition since several divisions are
State Highways and no great amount of
= work on them will be necessary. For
!, this reason the work has been divided

on stretches that require grading, in
dicated by station numbers.

e'HUGHEs FL1ER" IN COLLISION.

What came very near being serious
wreck was narrowly averted Friday
morning about z o'clock when North
western passenger train No. Is, which
runs between Mankato and Tracy by
way of St. Peter and is commonly knowd
as the Thomas Hughes train," colliden
with extra freight train No. 343, which
was pulling in from the west on a siding
at Nicollet. A dense fog prevented
Engineer S. w. Schooley, who was pulling
the passenger train, from seeing the
freight until he was less than car length
from it. The result of the collision was
that the passenger engine crashed into the
freight, throwing three cars off the track
and breaking two others.
The cars rolled down a ten-foot
embankment, but luckily the passenger
engine remained on the track, altho it
came near being jerked from the rails.
Mr.. Schooley's engine was SO badly
damaged that it had to be left at Nicollet
and another engine was run out to the
scene of the wreck. Engineer Schooley
and Fireman George Stahl were put in
charge of the fresh engine, and owing to
the fact that the tracks were badly torn
up the train was pulled back to Mankato
and the trip made to New Ulm on the
main line where it arrived about II
o'clock. Passengers on the train say
that Engineer Schooley and Fireman
Stahl had very narrow escapes. Luckily
no one on the train was hurt, but some of
the passengers were badly scared when
the jolt occurred. Two of them were
engaged in heated argument about the
European war when the collision occurred
These gentlemen stated that they thought
they had struck German mine, and
both declared peace at once and for the
remainder Of their trip they refrained
from any further discussion OF hostilities
for fear Of causing another mishap.

B. M. Mohler Of the State Health
Department visited New Ulm last week
for the purpose of making an inspection
of water conditions here. He found
things in good order and reports that the
wells have been found to be free Of the
contamination that previously existed
and ordered the chemical reduced IN
quantity as the water is pumped directly
from the wells now, not going thru the
clsterns. The new reservoir Is not vet
in use as the connection has been DELAYED
but Supt. Mueller reports that things
viii soon be in readiness. '.' ''

INDEFINITELY POSTPONED.

Apparently the New Ulm Arbeiter
Verein Picnic is hoodooed. Their annual
outing scheduled for Labor Day had to
be postponed on account of rain and it
was hoped that by last Sunday, Sept.
18th the weather would be settled.
Instead of being nice, clear day it was
even more dreary and gloomy than on
Labor Day and it was therefore decided
to postpone the picnic indefinitely.
Quite number of the members of the
"Verein gathered at Schell's Hall
during the afternoon, both Labor Day
and Sunday and spent few hours
pleasantly in social converse.
