History In The Making.

Two more weeks will probably wit
ness the complete disappearance of
the old Union School Building. The
work is going on rapidly under the
supervision of T. Thompson, the fore
man for the Nelson Construction Co.
Mr.. Thompson has a crew of twenty
four men at work tearing out the in
terror Of the building and clearing the
lumber of nails. Much of the ma
terial used in the old buildings can
again be used in parts of the new
structure and in other buildings in
process Of construction by the COM
pany. The steel ceilings, for exam
pie, are to be carefully removed and
sent to Mankato where they will be
used in the construction of garage
IN that city. Much of the lumber is
far superior to any lumber that can
be purchased today at any price. The
bricks will be carefully cleaned and
used in the interior work of the new
building. Considerable saving will
be effected in this way.
The big bell which has called the
tagging schoolboy, "creeping like a
snail to SCHOOL, for so long was care
fully removed from the tower before
that was torn down and will be pre-
served for its memories rather than
for any use it may be to the school.
It is deemed inadvisable to place it in
the belfry of the present High School
as it is feared that the vibrations
caused by the ringing will have bad
effect on the slate roof. So the bell
will be stored in the basement of the
building till some place can be Sc
cured for it.
Many old papers, relics of bygone
days, have been unearthed in the
process Of destroying the old build
ing. Old examination papers contain
ing wealth of varied, if not strictly
accurate, information bear eloquent
witness to the fact that boy and girl
nature does not change preceptibly
thru the ages. And New Ulm fathers
will do we'll to ascertain that none of
their own papers have been found be-
fore trying to spur their own off
spring to greater scholastic efforts
by recounting the unbroken array of
perfect papers they got "When l was
q boy"
A striking example of youthful
brilliancy came to light when one of
the present grade teachers, noticing
an unusual disturbance among her
usually cherubic youngsters, intercept
ed one of these papers passing among
the 'kids." Strangely attracted by

is for the office of City Clerk for
which the present deputy, Hubert
Berg, and William Backer have filed
Capt. Edwin Juni who had also con-
templated filing for the Office of city

decided at the last moment to stay out
OF the race, feeling that in three
cornered fight, he could not be elected
Both Berg and Backer have host o!
friends who will from now on put
forth their best endeavors to land the
plum for their candidate. Those who

close.

between trains Saturday afternoon to
visit with Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred
Mueller aud to look over the city.
Mr.. Mueller secured his preliminary
practice in law in the office of Mr..
Smith.
Saturday John Lang, an inmate of

history except that he was born in
Germany "a years ago and has been
an inmate of the home for some years.
His wife is his only surviving relative

funeral was held from the chapel
Monday.
Saturday evening the Second Regi-
ment Band did honor to John Henle
by serenading him at his home, the
occasion being the 5Oth anniversary

Choir called on him to pay to pay
their respects and spent several
hours with music and in friendly
converse.
Saturday afternoon Ernst Veit of

that few people may have and come
out so fortunately as he did. He was
engaged in helping crew shunt box

slipped and fell with his feet both
across the rail just as the engine was
ready to couple on to q freight car.

both passed over his feet but strange
to say, one footwas not badly injured
at all and the other was not amputa.
ted as might have been expected. It
was badly crushed however, and the
young man was brought to the Hos
pital here. He is getting along very
we'll considering the circumstances.
The only explanation offered of his
escape is that there must have been =
slight rebound when the engine and
car came together and lifted the
wheels enuf from the track to partly
clear his feet. II Ri 6st

lee Breaker Kit Gets Within .Iz9 Miles of Island and u Driven
 Back By the Ice.

NOME, July 2o.-The big ice breaker Kit returned to this city to- day after making an unsuccessful ef- fort to reach Wrangell island, off the Siberian coast, and rescue the mem hers of the Stefansson exploring ex- pedition. who were forced to seek shelter on the island when the Kar- lux was crushed in the ice on Janu- ary 10.
 The captain of the icebreaker re ports more ice in Boring Sea this year than he has ever known in his twenty years experience and he is doubtful if the party can be taken of this summer.
 The revenue cutter Bear has been ordered to leave here today for Wran- gell island and to make every eff fort to reach the men and take them of.
 The Kit reached within 120 miles of Wrangell island when they en- countered the ice foes so thick as to make further progress impossible. The icebreaker made a catch of 96O walrus hides, which will be sent to London via Yokohama.

 WASHINGTON, July s2O.-As a re- suit of the first bird census taken by the government in the territory East of the Mississippi two billion birds exclusive of sparrows are living in the United States East of the father of waters. The list includes 100000 900 robin red breasts.

GENERAL zAPAIA
 $ NEAR MEXICO
May Take Capital Before the Arriv- al of Gen. Carranza and His
 Northern Rebels.

WASHINGTON, July 20.--Much apprehension is felt here in official quarters because of news from Mex ico City that Gen. Zapata with his army of bandits have. arrived within short distance of Mexico City and may take the city at any moment before the arrival of the rebels un- der Gen. Carranza, who are hurry ing south to enter the city.
 It is feared that the force under Gen. Zapata will loot and destroy and that foreigners will be slaugh- tered, causing international compli- cations and may require that an in ternational column be sent from Vera Cruz to Mexico City, a condition the United States government is anxious to avoid because of the fear that the foreign. troops would remain until all matters in. dispute regarding payment 1, for damages to property of foreign CTS by the rebels and federal troops are adjusted. ss,..st.s,
 No news of revolt among the federal troops at Mexico City has been received here las yet but is hourly awaited. If the troops remain E loyal to President Carbajai he will be able to stand off the Zapataites until the arrival of the .Carranza forces

SLIGHT INCREASE
 FOR RAILROADS
interstate Commerce Commission Says Management is WastefuI
 and Extravagant.

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-The re- port of the Interstate Commerce Commission was sent to the public printer last Saturday and will soon become effective The report grants the railroads a raise totaling $16.- 100000 on the estimated business for next year. but flatly refuses the flat raise of five per cent. on all freight carried, as the commission insists that the management of the rail roads is wasteful and that $25, 900 year can be saved by them if they will stop extravaganza in the pur- chasing of supplies and also stop the present inefficient management.
 The commission planes the pres ent financial condition of the roads to the poor management more than to the low freight rates and the re- port states that the consumers of the country should not be force dto pay for the lack of business ability of the men in charge of the roads. High railroad officials predict that the roads will be forced to curtail the number of trains operated in or der to keep from going bankrupt They claim that in every business some waste creeps in but that no such amount of Joss as the report states can be laid to the ,mismanagement of the railroads.
