Nothing of a personal nature had
been allowed to help contribute to this
success. No mention had been made
in the News of the assault on its edi-
tor in Mike Noonan's lodging house,
because to Wright it had appeared as
a personal matter. The day previous
Gloria had denounced him and cried
aloud for vengeance. He recognized
that had Gloria not been mixed up in
the affair the result might have been
the same, but the personal element
was what made him hold his peace.
The news that the day had been car
ried for good government was only a
temporary intoxicant There were a
few moments of exhilaration when his
real feelings were submerged in the
general rejoicing dhat David Kerr had
been given more severe setback
than he had ever before received
Then came the ebb of the tide, leav-
ing him on the desolate shore of dis
heartening uncertainty. The past was
q nightmare and the future blank
The tumult and the cheers had died
y
stilled, his sitting-room with two win
dows on the street and it's own private
entrance had been cleared of tobacco
smoke, and the reception lie had held
when it was learned the election had
gone his way was at an end, when
Joe Wright sat himself down alone in
the quiet of the first hours of the
morning to take stock of his future.
Gloria? What of her?
1t was always Gloria, Gloria, Gloria,
running through his mind, knocking at
the door of his heart.
Always of the Gloria who had
spurned him, he thought, for he knew
nothing of the part she had played in
the lodging house. 1t was not stu

est in Movement Time and
Places of Meeting.

The Publicity Committee of the
Board of Trade is still busy in its
efforts to widely advertise the
Diversified Farming Campaign
which will take place in Lincoln
county on Wednesday, April 1st.
Printed circulars have been sent to
the several meeting places in the
county and large out-pouring of
farmers IS expected at each ap-
poiDtment on account of the prom
inence of the speakers selected for
this work and the knowledge to be
gained on various subjects from
the addresses to be delivered.
Everyone who can. should take
advantage of this rare opportunity
to hear what these men will have
to say about improved farming
methods and the way to re-habili-
tate our section from the condition
brought about by the boil weevil
invasion.
The following times and places
have been selected for the meet
ings:
Heuck's Retreat, beginning 10
O'Clock a. m.
Fair River. beginning 2 O'Clock
p. m.
Grange Hall, beginning 10
O'Clock a. m.

Johnson's School. beginning 2

Bogue Chitto, beginning 10
O'Clock a M.
Pleasant Hill, beginning 2 o'clock

The foregoing arrangement will
permit the citizens of the various
neighborhoods to assemble and take
part in the meetings without much
loss of time or Inconvenience to
themselves.
All arrangements have been
made for the proper entertainment
and transportation of the visitors
while in this county, and it is sim
cerely hoped that our farmers will
show sympathy with the movement
by turning out on that day in large
numbers.

WILL Be A LARGE CROP
Cotton Crop Outlook for Coming
Season viii Be Double that
Of Last Year.

Mr.. w. III. Seavey, of the firm of
A. c. Seavey & Sons. upon solicita-
tion, stated that last Thursday and
Friday his firm shipped out into
the county three carloads Of fer
tilizer: and he estimates that at
least 20 carloads have found their
way already into Lincoln county
-tields this season. The use Of fer.
tilizer will probably increase three
fold over last year and the cotton
acreage will be more than doubled.
1t is also estimated that boil
weevil or no boil weevil, and it's
apt to be the former. the sea-
sons crop will show 12. 600 bales to
the credit Of Lincoln county for

reasons for my request, as follows:
A few days after the bank IS clos

attorneys. voluntarily came to The
Leader Office and stated that the
assignees were going to have a
good deal of printing as we'll as ad-
vertising in the way of sales from
that date on to do and said: We
are going to divide it up as nearly
half and half between The Leader
and The. Times as possible.

business, telling him that would

share

CHANCELLOR JONES ADVISES ASSIGNEES
TO DIVIDE WORK GIVEN OUT TO PAPERS
Action Taken Notwithstanding Voluntary Promise by Banks Attorney
few Days After Failure to Give The Leader Half Of Printing
Business That Would Have to be Done in the
Liquidation Of Affairs.
The Leader Contends for Only Half Of Business When by Virtue of It's

For good and sufficient reason,
believing that Messrs. Louis Cohn

boycotted The Leader in the busi-
ness justly due it, the following
letter was sent to them Monday, a

advice was ordered by you, but to

the assignees since Feb. 25 | have
every reason to believe that they
do not intend that shall have any
of the business that legitimately
belongs to me. AS | understand it,
the affairs of the bank are now be-
ing administered by the court.
And further-if my right to the
business were questioned on the
basis of loss in the bank. or incon-
venience occasioned by the banks
closure because Of my loss, upon
that score alone ! should have more

called up by phone Hon. H.
Cassedy, at the bank, March 20,
and questioned him with regard to
the partiality shown.
Mr.. Cassidy admitted my con-
versation quoted above and the
promise made me and said he
would see the Assignees and put
the matter before them.
called Mr.. Cassidy over the
phone several times March 81, but
was unable to reach him either at
the bank or at his Office; but met
him at the postotfice about z p. m.
the same day. | asked him what
answer the assignees had to give as
to the elimination of The Leader
from business now being placed by
them At first he urged me to see
them and settle it with them my.
self. but | told him that as he was
the attorney for the bank and due
to pass on such things, preferred
that he take it up with them and
let me know their answer by March
23rd. at IL o'clock. He then stated
that he had told them my position
and that They refused to answer. "
Mr.. Cassidy suggested that | make
a petition to the Chancellor with
regard to the matter.
might also state here that Hon.
j. H. Sumrall, agent for the bank
informed me when asked why he
had not turned any more sales over
to The Leader. stated that he took
them where he was ordered to dc
so.
would further show that the
administration of the affairs of the
bank is not a personal matter that
the assignees' position is one of
trust and that they have no right
or power under the circumstances
to boycott The Leader.
And further still, the assignees,
Messrs. Cohn and Baggett. not
withstanding that they were with
out power to legally do so. have
placed boycott on The Leader,
and are evidently prompted by
some imaginary grievance. when in
truth and fact, The Leader has
done nothing in a legal or moral
way. to justify the assiRnees to re-
sort to boycott even though they
had legal power to do SO The
paper has taken no action which
the facts and its public province in
the interest of the depositors does
not demand.
In justice to The Leader. / ask
and petition you to issue an order
on the basis that not only half of
the future business be given The
Leader, but that as much be given
as will compensate for the loss sus-
tanned by the action Of the as
signees up to the present time in
giving the major portion Of busi-
ness to another paper.
Thanking you for your consider
alton and attention to the above, !

w alter Report
Received

Health Officer Seifert last Thurs
day received the report from the
State Health Board with refer
ence to the condition of the water
supply in New Ulm when the last
inspection was made by B. M. Mo-
Ter some two weeks ago. The re-
port shows that conditions are al
most what they were at the time Of
the epidemic and that tie hyp6-
chlorite plant must be kept work.
ing until the new reservoirs above
ground are ready for use. The re-
ort is quite clear and free from
technical expressions and is
given herewith almost in full, as
follows:-
This inspection was made to
check up the efficiency of the hypo
chlorite treatment as applied to the
New Ulm public water supply. The
administering plant was found to
be operating in a satisfactory man.
ner except for an increase in the a.
mount Of chemical solution enter
ing the supply. This increase in
flow was no doubt due to an irreg-
ularity in the process of maintain
a constant level in the feed key.
The ball on the original float
valve had become corroded and
was replaced with another about
two weeks previous to the time Of
this visit. The level in the feed
key was raised as result of this
change, thus increasing the guam
tity Of solution flowing thru the
feed pipe. This flow was at the
rate Of about $50 &C. per minute
as, compared to $50 &C., the a.
mount prescribed at the time the
plant was installed. With this
rate Of flow the amount of chemi-
cal entering the supply was in
creased to IL parts. per million of
available chlorine. No other IT.
regularities were found present at
this time, the various working
parts being in a good state of pres
ervation. But little trouble has
been experienced from any odor
of the chemical present in the
drinking supply. At none of the
places where the samples were col
lected was any complaint made
concerning the same. It was es-
timated that the new cistern to be
installed for storing the supplies
directly from the wells would be
ready for use about June LIST.
This work is to be rushed as much
as possible. The hypochlorite
treatment of this supply must be
continued until that time. Mr..
Bolstad, superintendent, said that

HIGH SCHOOL TRACK
PLANS.

New Ulm High School, athletes
are again to try their luck at track
and field athletics this spring. At
a meeting held in Mr.. Lewis room
last Thursday some thirty of the
boys turned out and the majority
of those present signitied their in
tention Of trying for the track
team. Track athletics made a
splendid showing last spring con-
sidering that it was the first at
tempt at that branch of sport.
The first meet held at Mortified
under the auspices of Carleton
College, was considerable Of a
failure as the New Ulm boys were
green to the work and had a bad
attack of stage fright. The next
week, however, they went to the
Southern Minnesota Conference
Meet held at Mankato and, COM
peting against practically the same
schools that had beaten them at
Mortified the week before, they
landed third place in the. meet and
made some remarkable records.
Fritsche beat the two men who
worsted him at Mortified in the
pole vault and incidentally hung
up new record of 10 it. 2 1-2 in.
in the event, Russell came very
close to the Conference record in
the shot put and Cordes beat the
two Far .bau(t veterans in the
hurdles.
The best OF the team of last year
have graduated but there is still a
wealth Of undeveloped material in
the High School: Vogtel and the
two Bergs should care for the
dashes very creditably, Durbahn
and !Garrow should give a good &C.
count Of themselves in the weight
events and the most likely candi-
dates in the jumps seem to be
Vogtel and Durbahn. The dis
lance runs and the pole vault seem
to be the hardest events to take
care OF. But consistent training
ought to develop some good men.
The work will commence just as
soon as the weather permits and
when the men show particular
adaptibility for any particular
event they will be put to specialize
ing in that line of work.
The first meet of the year will be
the interclass event where the
chosen representatives Of each
class will fight it out for the school
championship. The out of town
meets will be the Carleton Inter-
scholastic and the Southern Min
nesota Conference meet at Man.
