Brother Accident

New Ulm Boy Causes Sisters Death
at Kraus Home New Years
Eve

It ever sadness entered into home,
while neighbors and friends met in
social gatherings to watch out the
lingering old year and bid welcome to
the arrival Of another infant year, it
surely prevailed Wednesday evening
at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Wenzef
Kraus, of this city, when brother ac-
cidentally shot sister. The fatally in
jured girl was rushed to the Loretto
hospital, shortly after the accident,
which occurred at about $50 o'clock,
but nothing could be done to save the
girl, as the full charge from the shot
gun had penetrated the abdomen.
Death hand in hand with the new year
arrived, as Barbara died shortly after
midnight. A coroner's inquest was
held Thursday morning, which report
ed that death was accidental.
Story of Accident
The story Of the accident as related
by the family members last Thursday,
attributes the sad incident to
cheap and worthless mechanism Of the
weapon connected with the shooting.
It seems as though the father and
mother with the younger children had
spent the evening enjoying their Sec
ond Christmas about lighted tree.

still fingered throughout the home

were ordered to bed. Barbara Kraus

While the interest shown in the
election of municipal officers for 1914
was very intense today, the polling
was remarkably free from the bit
ter antagonism shown at previous
elections. This was due to the gen.
uine popularity Of the two men head
ing the tickets, as well as the vote be-
ing direct upon the license question,
regardless of the officers elected.
This was the trying-out of the
direct-vote bill which was passed
during the last session of the
Legislature through the efforts of
Senator Clague. It gives the peo-
pie the right to make an absolute de-
cision upon whether saloons shall or
shall not be permitted within the
city limits, and settles the question
for all time-or at least until the
laws of the state demand a change.
The vote taken to-day was for no.
license by mojority Of q votes. Of
this majority 81 came from the first
ward and AZ from the second.
The municipal officers for the year
1914 are: Mayor, R. Stensvad, AL
derman, 1st Ward, I. Reynolds and
J. w. Ferris; End Ward, Charles
Luscher and C. o. Borg; CITY Re-
corder, VIM. Smithers, City Treas
urer, II. A. Baldwin.

Saint GATHERINGS
Future Structure
Thing of Beauty
Parish Will Erect $4,000 Building
On Present Site And Lot
III Adjoining
DIMENSIONS ARE 112x45x4sft.
Full Length Basement to Be Fitted
With Club Rooms, Kitchen
and Hall

The parish of the Church of st.
Catherine is about to erect a splen-
did Church building, the estimated
cost of the structure, when completed,
to be $21 900. The Pensioners have
already subscribed nearly this amount,
and the treasurery will hold prac-
tically all the necessary funds be-
fore the building is started.
The residence lot of C. Bobzin in the
rear of the present building, has been
purchased by the Church. Mr.. Bob
Yin will remove the buildings to some
other site, and the ground be ready
for the starting of the new structure
as soon as the frost is out of the
ground. The two lots offer space
large enough to accommodate nicely
Dimensions Generous
The structure which will be built
of brick is to be 112 feet long, 45 feet
wide, and 43 feet high from grade
to gable. In the center of the front
is to be tower 80 feet high. The
church will have a seating capacity
of $50.
Basement Splendidly Planned
The basement running the full
length will be divided into a parish
room 45x84 feet, two club rooms
18x21 and 14x14 respectively, a
kitchen and cloak room, and the fuel
and boiler rooms.
Plan of Ground Floor
On the ground floor will be the au-
ditorium 45x84 feet, with sacristy
18x21 feet and the sanctuary 20 feet
deep by 20, feet across the front.
There will also be gallery 18x45
feet, and vestibule in the tower
which will be IA feet square.
The roof is to be supported by an
iron trestle and the greatest care
taken in the selection of material and
manner of erection. While many of the
lesser details of finish, colorings and
furnishings are still undecided, the
plans are nearly enough perfected to
justify the statement that the future
ST. Catherin's Church will be build
ing of which not only the parish but
the entire county will be extremely
proud.

The most stupendous thing
that could happen to the world
in the year 1914 after Christ
would be the application of
Christ's ideal to the life of to-
day. How novel that would be!
How strange and startling!
But it is only children who
truly believe in love. Men and
women believe in ornaments
and Sherman laws, and prisons,
and strikes, and dogmas, and
votes for women, and the Con-
stitution, and all manner of
mechanical contrivances inven-
ted to do away with need
Of love.

n HE big and too snowy hair orna-
i ments-introduced early in the
season--failed to find following, in
this country, at all events, but the
hair, hairdress and hairbands with
feather ornaments, every one likes.
A style suited to both brunettes and
blondes may be studied in the picture
given here. The hair is waved and
combed high at the back. It is ar
ranged in long puffs and coils at the
crown, and is curled ard worn in fiat
ringlets over the forehead and ears.
1t is noticeable that the hairdress
nearly always demands that the fore
head be fairly well covered. A small
light fringe of hair across the middle
of the brow is becoming to most faces
and does away with flying and strag
Cling ends of hair in way that is
most agreeable to those who possess
fluffy and obstinate hair.
Two rows of pearl beads strung on
fine wire are joined at the back with
an ornament of pearls. The orna-
ment supports very full pompon Of
uncuried ostrich feathers. This gives
the flushing touch to a toilette de-
signed for full dress.

narrow velvet ribbon decorated with
rhinestones or studded with steel Is

raised high at he left side by an ca
tension of the shape over which the
silk is draped Little turbans OF this
kind are close fitting and very becom-
ing. This particular style is suited to
youthful wearers, while the longer
shapes, with less pronounced tilt in
the pose are liked for matrons.
There are so many turbans of silk,
made In SO many ways, that the most
conservative as well as the most dar-
ing models are to be found among
them. For trimming, little nosegays
OF small flowers, or ornaments of jet
or bows of velvet or of ribbon, seem
most appropriate, Jet. with silk, adds
much to the brilliance of these hats,
and small, gay flowers or fruits give
them the requisite touch of color.
Cleverness in the management of
drapery Is the characteristic virtue Of
hats of silk for earliest wear. 1t Is
not as easy as it looks, bysany means,
to drape a shape without getting
clumsy effects. That 1t has been &C.
complished in such variety of ways
speaks we'll for the ingenuity of de-
signers and trimmers.

EoR present wear and for early
! spring the draped silk turban is to
the fore with more strength as a
demi-season hat than ever. 1t is
nearly always Sin the running when
the race OF styles comes on. This
season the vogue of draped hats and
the new high-side shapes have made
for the popularity of the all-silk turban.
Two pretty examples of rather dash
ing modes are shown here. In one of
them long turban frame with a
moderately small crown is draped
with 'messaline satin in amethyst
color. The folds of drapery follow the
lines of the frame, sweeping upward
at the left. There is very little regu-
larity in these folds. Two about the
coronet are fairly even, but otherwise
they are freely draped, but follow the
lines of the shape closely, at that.
The turban is finished with two
quilts in shades of amethyst. They
are poised to carry out the upward
sweeping line at the left side.

Is covered with irregular folds of the

Pockets Are Promised.

Thanks to skirts becoming more
voluminous about the hips, women are
to have pockets in their dresses again.
But will the new pocket relieve them
of the necessity Of carrying bag? AD-
parently not. for since the pocket was
taken from them years ago the mum
Der of articles they usually carry about
with them has enormously increased
Here, for instance, is what woman
generally carries in her bag:
Two handkerchiefs. one smelling
bottle, one pencil, one purse for cop
pers, one purse for silver or gold, one
small mirror, one powder-puff enclsed
in silk bag, or one leather, and one
small bottle Of eau-de-cologne.

FOR THE LUNCH BASKET.

The lunch basket must serve more
than one or two classes of people.
The laboring man at work in or out
of doors, the child at school, the bust
ness man and woman. The character
of the food need not be radically
changed, but there will be smaller
quantities and greater variety for the
different people, as to age and occu-
patton.
For those who exercise but little, like
Office men or women. food that is cas-
lily digested should be provided. and
not in large quantities.
The one great fault Of everybody is
eating too much. For the business
woman, slice or two of rye or whole
wheat bread, with cheese in the form
Of a sandwich, and an apple with a
glass Of milk, makes an excellent
lunch. A baked apple with bread and
butter, head of lettuce with French
dressing in small dish, cup of Gus
tard will be with cup OF tea or milk
another substantial lunch.
Celery, dates stuffed with nuts, a
fig or two or an orange, banana are
always fine accessories to any lunch.
For the school child. two slices Of
whole wheat bread, with nuts or cream
cheese spread on well buttered slices
and seasoned with salt A cup custard
or an apple for dessert.
Two slices of white bread well but
tered and spread with hard cooked egg

pudding.
For the business man the number
of sandwiches could be doubled and
coffee added to the above
For the laboring man more sub
stantial sandwiches filled with meat,
cold baked beans, potato salad, pie,
cake and coffee, with an apple for a
finish, will be found sufficiently salts

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE DINNER
TABLE.

Each month in the year brings its
own artistic decorations, which may
be varied in countless manner. When
ideas. one may borrow from others
who have given us their experience.
A most amusing way of placing
guests is that of placing baby pic
ture of each guest for place card
These may be obtained unbeknownst
to the victim.
For children's table, log cabin
made of colored stick candy, rail
fence and a walk inside of tiny sticks
laid closely together. Ones own taste
will suggest ways of using this sug-
gestion.
A fern ball suspended over the din
-ner table. with sprays of fern for dec
keration radiating from the center. A
XDink rose or two laid around on the
cover makes most attractive dinner
table
novel idea for the finger bowl is
to sprinkle a green spray of rose
leaves and press on the bottom of the
glass bowl, then have a few petals
of the rose floating about in the wa
ter.
A novel way to arrange shower
for a ito be" bride, is to have a pack
age or two brought in after each
course, and each guest have the fun
of helping to undo one for the hon
ored guest.
A small ice tub to hold olives is
both attractive and useful, for we all
like our olives cold. Freeze ice In a
tomato can, and when solid take it
out and make center to hold the
olives by sinking a baking powder
can filed with hot water in the cen
ter of it. Place the tub on deep
plate surrounded by green leaves and
filled with olives.
When grapes are in season there
is no more beautiful decoration for
the table than various colored grapes
in the foliage, arranged for a center
piece.
