result of the election for this office is still
in doubt altho the chances favor the
election of Christensen.
Another Office in doubt is that OF
Representative. Contrary to all ex-
pectations Alfred w. Mueller developed
a great deal of strength in the rural
districts and his friends predict his
election over his opponent, Major Albert
Pfaender, sy at least 200 votes. Major
Smith seems to have carried the County
by safe majority. Albert Hauser will
carry the County for Representatives.
Large by good majority and to defeat
him John R. Keefe must get an over
whelming vote in Redwood County.
Jean Flittie for Congress will carry
the County by smail margin unless the
precincts that have not been heard from
should go strong for his opponents.
Hammond will go out of the County with
a majority of approximately 1000 votes
if the returns so far received are any
criterion for the balance of the County. i
The election table as shown on the
last page Of this issue was complete up
TOD a. m. Wednesday morning.
Returns from the country districts
received too late to tabulate indicate
that the above redictions will hold
good. Alfred Mueller's lead is rapidly
increasing. New Ulm and Milford

KILLED WHILE HUNTING.

Word was received at Winthrop Sun
day forenoon that Alvin D. Johnson, a
former resident of that place and for 8
years editor and publisher of the Win
throp News was accidently killed early
that morning while out duck hunting
at Benson, MINI. Particulars of the
accident are lacking. From the little
information at hand it seems that Mr..
Johnson who now resides at Lester
Prairie and is President of the bank there
went to Benson witha friend to hunt
ducks. They started out bright and early
Sunday morning to be on hand for
the morning flight of birds. The acci-
dent happened while he was in the boat
In handling his gun it was discharged
and at such close range that the shot
blew off part of his skull causing in
Simultaneous death. The remains were
taken to Winthrop for burial. The
funeral will be held this wednesday,
afternoon, the Masonic lodge of Winthrop
conducting the services.

NEW RESTAURANT ESTABLISHED

~ sH
Lowinslzy, the motor cycle man who
has had shop on South Minnesota
Street for the past season has gone out of
business and the place formerly occupied
by him has been rented by the owner,
John Siebenbrunner, to John Kalos of
Mankato. Mr.. Kalos formerly ran the
Boston Lunch Room at Mankato but
recently sold out and intends to open up
similar establishment here. He expects
to be ready for business about Friday of
this week. Mr.. Kalos was in Mankato
for a year and apparently knows his
business well. He appears to be the
sort of citizen that New Ulm is glad to
acquire and as such should have the
support of the community while getting
started in his new venture. The transient
trade here is growing and we believe
there is room for his business.

FIRE DESTROYS BARN.

Fire early yesterday morning de-
stroyed the barn of Fritz Hagedorn who
lives near Swan Lake, causing loss of
more than $4,000. Not only the barn,
but, one horse, wagon, sled, harnesses
and hay were destroyed and corn shred
shredder damaged. The horse was not
killed outright but it was so frightfully
burned that it had to be shot, Another
horse was burned also but not fatally.
The conflagration happened about
7:15 A. M. Mr.. Hagedorn had been in
the barn about half an hour before
it was discovered in flames and then left
for the corn field. The first load of corn
stalks for shredding was brought in by
the hired man that morning and he was
scarcely in the barn before he. saw it
was all ablaze. Everything went so
quickly that he was barely able to get
the horses out and one of the horses he
drove was the one so badly burned that
it had to be killed.
AS soon as the nearby farmers saw
that the barn was on fire they came to
Hagedorn's assistance but they could
do nothing to prevent the destruction
of the structure which is total loss.
The barn was worth about $500 on
which there was $500 insurance. There
was no insurance on the personal property
and Mr.. Hagedorn's loss will therefore
be quite severe one.

Ideal weather prevailed for yester-
days election. In fact, it was 50 pleasant
that the workers could stand around
street corners and make last attempt
to induce the electors to cast vote FOR
for their favorite candidates without
freezing as has been the case at SO many
previous elections. Thruout the whole
campaign there had been considerable
apathy, the European war overshadow-
ing everything else and it therefore
came as considerable surprise to the
initiated to learn in what numbers the
voters turned out, not only in the city Of
New Ulm, but thruout the whole county.
With only 1928 votes registered before
election, New Ulm cast over 1900 votes.
The voting was fairly brisk early in the
morning and by one o'clock 100 votes
had been cast in the first ward, $50 in the
second and 2O5 in the third. At
o'clock 356 votes had been cast in the
first ward, 321 in the second and 442 in
the third ward. The vote in many of
the precincts came as surprise not only
to the general public but also to the
candidates themselves. The vote in
some Of the precincts indicates general
lining up for the same group of candi-
dates.
With the incomplete returns at hand
at o'clock Wednesday morning there
seems to be no doubt about the reelection
Of Louis G. Vogei as County Auditor,
Geo. Ross for Judge of Probate, Carr P.
Manderfeld for Clerk of Court, and r.
D. Minium for County Surveyor. Dr..
Reineke for Coroner, Adoiph Frederick
son for County Attorney and r. B.
Kennedy for Co. Supt. had no opposition
and are therefore reelected also.
Although the contest is quite close
for the Offices Of County Treasurer and
Sheriff, political prognosticators predict
the reelection Of Henry j. Berg and w.
]. julius. It is hardly probable that
later returns, even if favorable to Henry.
Schwartz and Adolph Klause, would
be sufficient to overcome the lead their.
opponents have in the returns 50 far re-
ceived.

CREAMERY STATISTICS IN
MINNESOTA.

Bulletin No. IS recently issued by the
Minnesota Dairy and Food Commission
contains statistical information about
the creamery industry of Minnesota
which is highly interesting. From this
report it appears that the total creameries
in the state during the year 1913 aggre-
gated 852. + Of them 614 were CO.
operative creameries. During the past
8 years there has been an increase of 1876
creameries Of which SO are run on the Co
perative plan. Since the year 1890 the
number of cows has increased from
566, 900 to 1,125,000 in the year 1912.
What is OF more significance however is
the fact that during the same period
of time the milk per COW has increased
from 2800 lbs. to 1000 lbs., the butter fat
per cow from 10 lbs. to 152 lbs.and the
butter per cow from 1913 lbs. to 1T lbs.
The price of butter during the same
period has advanced from IL cents to 80
cents per pound, the earnings per COW
have increased from $3.50 to $53.1O
and the gross returns have increased
from So, zoo, 900 to $59, 49,, $50.
Creamery statistics for the state the
past eight years show that the butter
made has increased from s6,z17T27
pounds to 1873, IL. .912 and the value has
increased from SIS, 1864, ,320.O6 in 1906 to
$34,955, ,884.97 in 1918. During that
time there has been steady increase
with the exception of the year 1908 when
there was decrease of .648 per cent.
The largest increase in any one year was
IN 1912, when an increase of 1910 per
cent is reported.
For the past four years there has been
an increase of only one creamery in
Brown County. In 1910 there were IL
cooperative and 2 independent cream
cries and by 1918 this number had in
creased to Ia cooperative and one in
dependent creamery.
The number of cows in Brown County
has increased from 1928 in 1910 to
13, 100 in 1913. There was decrease
in the number Of cows in the year 1911,
only 1906 being reported. In the
number of patrons there has been a
steady increase in this four year period.
From total Of 1,lS6 patrons in 1910,
the number increased to 1,439 in the
year 1913.
The number Of DOunds nf huffpr rnadn

At a meeting of teachers of the
county held Saturday, it was decid-
ed to hold the county track meet on
Saturday, May %. Pupils entering
the meet will be classified according
to weight this year, rather than by
age. Those entering will be divided
into two, and possibly three divis-
ions, according to weight. Definite
weight limits will be announced
after the next county teachers
meeting, March l4th. 1t is hoped
that a silver cup may be offered for
the school winning the meet. If
this is done, it will be given for the
year only, and will need to be won
three years in succession before it
will become the property of any
school. If the expense can be met,
silver medals will be given the win
ners in at least a part of the events,
otherwise ribbons will be given.

detail he explained the manufacture
of anti-hog cholera serum and its
use, together with the nature Of the
disease: how to detect it and then
outlined a method of combating
cholera. He suggested fighting It
as though it were something inilam-
able. To concentrate close atten-

the state would furnish the serum
at cost, three cents per c. c. and 1t
