TELLS QUEEN HOW DEAD AIR
MAN VOLPLANED TO EARTH

MAN VoLPLANED TO EARTH
London, Sept. q (By Mail to New
York. )-Calling at the London Hos
pital to visit the wounded soldiers
brought from the front, Queen Alex
andra listened with~the closest atten-
ton to the story of a thrilling battle
in the air, told to her by a wounded
private of the royal engineers. The
fight was between a German aero
plane and French and English air
craft which sailed away to give bat
tie to the invader and ended their
pursuit only when the German ma
chine swoped down to earth.
The wounded private. said he was
resting on the ground after a hard
fight, when German aeroplane sud
denly appeared directly over the Brit
ish troops. Immediately from the rear
French and British aviators took to
the air. The troops lay still, watch
ing silently the death struggle above
them. First, the British and French
aiTmen endeavored to out-manoeUvre
the German and cut off his retreat.
But the German began to climb high
eT in the air and the British aeToplane
was seen to be mounting steadily,
trying to get above the foe and in a
better position to shoot.
The whirr of the motors could be
heard by the troops below as the ma
chimes rose higher and higher, each
striving to get above the other. Then
it could be seen that the EngIshman
was above his foe. The aeroplanes
appeared as mere specks in the sky.
From far above came the sound of
a shot and Immediately the German
machine began to descend. Grace
fully it volplaned toward the earth
under perfect control. It landed safe
ly with, in the British lines, ran
short distance along the ground and
stopped.
The British soldiers rushed for

Miss Lille gave a list of the earli-
est birds to arrive and said it is al
most time to be looking for the horn
ed larks as she has seen them often
on the 18th of February. She de-
scribed the, flight Of the migrating
birds by night and described various
migrations she had witnessed. The
cow-bird she called the black sheep
Of the; birds since it is too law to
build nest and rear its young in a
respectable fashion but lays its eggs
IN other birds nests, leaving all the
cares Of parenthood to the. foster
parents. The downy woodpecker
was shown to : be an immensely
valuable bird and even the hawks
came in for good word, there be-
ing but few Of them that are ex-
ceedingly destructive Of poultry. She
said that the little, cheerful "Bob
White" should be the State Bird of
Minnesota and should be protected
in every possible manner.
After closing her talk on the birds.
Miss Lille showed pictures of the
state flora, some of them surpass-
ingly beautiful and described the
home and habits of each.

Local Merchant
Highly Honored
f. Fl. Retzlatf Chosen AS
President of State
Association.
Problem Of Hardware Dealers
Being Solved L!By
Cooperation.

At the annual meeting of the Min
nesota Retail Implement Dealers AS
ISOLATION held in Minneapolis Jan.
IA, Is and Is, Mr.. f. II. Retzlaff,
New Ulm's popular and well-known
hardware dealer, was made president
OF the organization for the coming
year. Mr.. Retzlaff was vice-presi-
dent of the Association last year and
this advancement to the presidency
shows clearly his standing among
the implement dealers of the state.
The purpose of the Association is
to meet and discuss methods and
craftsmanship in this very important
branch Of the commercial world.
The hardware dealers meet annually
and talk over the situation in the
field and their selling problems. They
meet the manufacturers of the i'm
plements they handle and give and
receive suggestions as to their COM
mon interests. In short, the annual
convention is a get-togethcr Of the
dealers that does much to promote
better feelings. Another important
purpose of the Association is the fur
thering of Mutual Insurance among
the hardware dealers. Considerable
has already been accomplished along
both these lines of endeavor. The meet
ing closed Friday evening with a
banquet at the West Hotel at which
the Twin Cities Hardware, Imple-
ment, and Vehicle Club We're hosts.
1.-THE most constructive and far
reaching measure acted upon at the
convention" said Mr. Retzlaff, twas
the promise of the cooperation st
the State University. The University
authorities contemplate the starting
OF course in practical craftsmanship
and business methods. Much atten-
ton has been lavished upon the far
mer and good results have no doubt
been obtained. Now it is time for
the merchant to receive his share of
attention. A practical course in
craftsmanship ought to do wonders
in reducing the alarming numbers of
failures in the mercantile business
caused by a lack Of knowledge of
business Methods"
Mr.. Retzlaff has a broad grasp of
the problems Of the retail implement
dealer as he has been engaged in the
business since 1885 at which time he
started in business at Little Falls,
Mimi. Two years later he transferr-
ed his store to New Ulm and has
been located here ever since and has
built up most solid and substantial
trade. He has also interested him
self in matters outside of his own
affairs and is at present serving a
term as alderman from the Third
Ward. For the past twenty years he
has been director of the Citizens
State Bank, and a Trustee of DR..
Martin Luther College and of St.
Paul's Lutheran Church.

Train Kills Man.

DR.. Geo. T. Reineke was called to
Springfield Thursday morning in his
official capacity as coroner to view
the remains of a young man who
had from all appearances been run
over and killed by the passenger
train which reached Springfield going
west about 2:40 that morning. The
young mans name was Otto Hen
ningson and he had been employed as
a farm hand on the E. J. Meierbach-
tol farm about five miles east Of
Spring feld.
The body when found was lying
along the right of way of the North
western road one mile east of the
station. The skull was fractured, as
were also the bones of his arm and
one leg. The body was otherwise
badly bruised. According to DR.. kei-
neke the man probably lived for sew
eral hours after he was struck Dy the
train. No inquest was held as it was
apparent that death was purely acct
dental.
Mr.. Meierbachtol states shat Mr..
Henningson was a good worker, in
dustrious and that he could depend
upon llli1 dt all: ClHieS. ne IacL that
zthe young man had $4,000 to his
credit at one of the local banks goes
to show that he was Of saving dis
position. He had been at Spring 6eld
Wednesday afternoon and evening and
had visited various saloons during his
stay in the city. One of the men
who saw him during the day stated
that Henningson had considerable
money with him. Henningson COM
planned to the man who was the last
to see him alive that he had been
robbed Of $4,000 shaking dice. This
was at Anderson's livery barn about
an hour before the arrival of the pas
senger train. When found he had
only IS cents on his person and no
valuables and it is not known wheth-
Ell he was actually robbed or whether
he spent his money lavishly in the
various saloons about town. The de-
ceased was only 26 years old and was
a stranger to most of the citizens of
Springfield. He came to town sell
dom and always conducted himself
in quiet peaceful manner. The
only known relative he had is an
uncle who was communicated with
and who came and took charge of
the remains.

Armory Project
Again Stirring
P'frfomoters Are Not Satisfied
. With Money at Hand
For Building.
Ask City Fathers To Pre-.
vide Additional Funds
Council Reluctant.

Az the adjourned meeting of the
City Council Monday evening the
time Of the council was entirely occu-
pied with a consideration of plans for
the ;Armory. 1t will be remembered
that the proposition to increase the
| amount to be expended for the build
ing, did not meet with unqualified
approval from the citizens at large
and the council had not felt called
upon to vote city funds to assist the
project. The pro-armory forces felt
| thes need of strengthening their ar
guments to the council and had Ar
cllltect Albert Schippel of Mankato,
onxhand Monday evening to show the
| council how absurd it would be to
try to house the two companies and
the band in a building to cost but
$4,000.
The fireworks started promptly
when Philip ,Liesch as President Of
the Commercial Club introduced Mr..
Schippel. The architect showed that
while it might be possible to house
one company very comfortably for
SIC, 1000 it would be impossible to care
for two companies and the band for
that amount. He laid plans before
| the council for an armory 75x16O feet
with 20 foot walls which would suit
ably house New Ulm's military or
CARNATIONS. This building would
contain drill hall 71x1O0 feet, a
gallery and a stage that would make
it available for large conventions,
with a seating capacity for some 1850
persons, and rooms for the band.
The cost would be in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. By eliminating the
siege and the gallery the cost would
| be- reduced to about $4,000.
| G.. Hage spoke in favor of the
revised plans and said that SO long
as New Ulm is to have an armory
it might as well be good one. He
then proposed that the council meet
about half the additional funds re-
CURED and that the rest be raised by
subscription among the business men
OF the town. J. P. Graft and Ferd.
Crone then advocated the additional
expense in order to provide quarters
for the band.
Colonel Buschers then asked the
council to meet the situation at once
and state definitely what they would
do. The State Armory Boards meets
but once in three months and their
next meeting comes on the second
Tuesday in February. If the plans

specifications are not placed before

asked the council to make the appro-
prlation. Mayor Fritsche then sug-
gested that it might be possible to

keep the expense within the origin

amount should run slightly over the
appropriation he felt that it should
be possible to raise it by subscription
rather than by action of the council.

ously to the cause.
After some further discussion the
council decided not to give a definite
reply until after further considera-
ton and the meeting was adjourned
until Monday of next week.

Lectures on Nature.

Bird lovers, in fact, any one in
terested in Nature and out of doors
found much to interest and admire
in the pictures shown by Miss Lille
at the lecture given by her under
the auspices of the Mems Club of
the congregational Church Thursday
evening at the Masonic Hall. The
colorings and surroundings were alb
solutely true to nature and very
beautiful. Miss Lille also gave a
talk that brought out many facts
and they were given in such fashion
that even those who had never stud
led birds or flowers could easily un-
derstand. The language used was
the ordinary conversational sort and
did not confuse by any scientific
terms.
Miss Lille has evidently spent
many years as close student of out
OF doors and her love for birds and
flowers was plainly evidenced by her
descriptions of their homes and hab-
itats and her plea for protection for
them. She spoke of their economic
value to the farmer and grower in
general, showing that each bird much
more than pays for any damage he
may commit upon berries and other
fruit by the unnumbered thousands
OF destructive insects and worms he
destroys in season. She quoted a
fruit grower who wisely said he
would prefer to have small crop of
good fruit that would bring him a
good price on the market to a full
crop of fruit that the worms had
had their fill of undisturbed by the
protecting guardians of the fruit, the
robins and other grub-destroying
birds. !. ,,..,s,.i1lll

Plans Ideal Plant.

Ihat good IS to come out of the agi-
tation started by the Health Board
for better meat market conditions is
now definitely known since Andrew
Saffert has made known his intention
OF doing all that he can to better the
situation in his own plant. Mr.: SAT-
fert when interviewed by the Review
stated that if he can secure permit
from the council for a term of wears
not less than fifteen, possibly even
twenty five, he will erect an addition
to his present plant that will come up
to every requirement of the state and
the public. Mr.. Saffert expects to put
something like $1,000 into the plant
and it will be necessary for him to
have the assurance before expanding
this money that he will have the use
OF 1t for a reasonable length of time.
Charles Berger, refrigerating
engineer OF Minneapolis. was in town
last Saturday and briefly went over
the situation and needs with Mr.. SAT-
tert. He will be here again the latter
part OF this week and will then present
definite plans for the erection of the
addition and show what the estimated
cost will be.
+ The outline as So far worked out
provides irst.for beef cooler l9xl9
and second cooler for pork and veal
l7xl9. These cooling rooms will be
partly located in the present building.
Back OF them in the new part is to be
storage and freezing room2 contain-
ing ice machinery for cooling. This
space will be Is feet square. Beyond
the refrigerator will be an addition
81 feet by "a which will be used for
sausage kitchens, machine rooms.
boiler etc. The slaughter house will
be constructed with every regard for
convenience and sanitation. The
floors will be built of material and in
accordance with the latest knowledge
OF keeping them free from all accumu.
latlons and the water system will be
Installed under state requirements.
Cork and concrete will be used in
making the walls of the refrigerator.
The action of Mr.. Saffert after dis
cusslon has died out and when he
might reasonably let matters slide for
while shows that he desires to do
the right thing by his customers and
this move on his part will no doubt
do much to solve the question that
has been troubling the Health Board.
Private plants when voluntarily
erected and brought cheerfully up to
requirements are more apt to solve
the question to the satisfaction Of
dealer as we'll as public than are the
forcibly controlled plants and a better
feeling will exist all around.
