AN UNHoLY JOY PREVAILS.

Mondays County Option elections in
Hennepin and Nicollet Counties brought
cheer to the hearts Of the wet forces in the
entire state. With all returns in, Mic
collet County went wet Monday by ma
jority of 1913. There was an exception
ally heavy vote cast despite the inclenaent
weather.
According to unofficial returns, St.
Peter went wet by majority of 253,
CORTLAND Village by Al, CORTLAND Town
by 119, Brighton by 40, Bernadotte by
60, West Newton by 112 and Nicollet
Village by 80. North Mankato on which
the ''drys' figured to give them sub
stantial majority. is reported also to- have
landed in the wet column.
By far the greatest battle ever fought
out between the "drys" and ''wets was
staged in Minneapolis and in Hennepin
County. For weeks street speeches had
been the order Of the day and speakers
of note addressed large audiences at the
Auditorium and also at the Armory. A
victory for the vets by small majority
was predicted by those who claimed to
know the sentiment of the voters of Hen
nepin County and it therefore came as
great surprise when the returns showed
victory for the vets of over 5000 votes
In 1876 precincts out Of 191 the vets rollee
up a lead of 1856 on total vote o
68,21O, the largest vote ever cast in tn
county. Only four wards in Minneapolis
went dry. Even the country district
which were generally considered dr.!
territory rolled up majorities for the OPP
position. The ''drys" charge fraud il
the election.

A SENSIBLE IDEA.

Plans are afoot to bring before the
people of New Ulm the necessity of TAX
ing greater precaution to protect the
lives OF children from danger by fire.
There is campaign under way to ap-
point a certain week as Fire Prevention
Week when the dangers Of fire can be
pointed out by teachers in the public
schools in series Of lessons showing
how easily life and property may be de-
stroyed by little carelessness. The
ministers will be asked to preach fire
prevention sermons and the fire depart.

doubtless draw hundreds Of such visitors

is done in New Ulm and it would
be an excellent PLAN Ito advertise that
fact in the films.

FATHER ABANDoNs CHILDREN.

Monday morning Judge Olsen heard
the application of Wolfgang Schoen-
berger for writ of habeas corpus. After
hearing the evidence and arguments of
counsel the Judge made and filed an
order denying the application for the
writ ard remanded the prisoner to jail.
Schoenherger was bound over to await
the action of the jury on the charge of
abandonment and non-suppert of 6
children. The hearing was held before
Justice ]. j. Ray of Springfield who held
that ample evidence had been produced
to warrant having the matter brought
to the attention of the grand jury; and
accordingly bound him over, fixing his
bail at $500 IN default Of which the de-
fandant was brought to. New Ulm and
lodged in the county jail.
It appeared from the evidence that
Schoenberger took his children ont to
the Schenk farm at Springfield early in
August, requesting that Mrs. Schenk
keep them for a week in order to give
him time to secure permanent home for
the children. Since that time and up
to the time of his arrest he gave absolute
" no attention to the children.
Monday Of last week Sheriff Julius
went to Springfield and brought the
children to New Ulm. Tuesday morn
ing there was a hearing in Probate Court
relative to sending the children to the
| state school at Owatonna; and at the
conclusion Of the hearing Judge Ross
ordered them admitted to the state
school and they were taken there the
following morning by Sheriff Julius.
At the hearing before Judge Olsen
Monday Aug. G. Erickson of Springfield
represented the petitioner and Adolpt
Frederickson, County Attorney, appeared
for the State.

ASHAMED OF HIS CONDUCT.

If he isn't he ought to be. We mean
the weather man. Such lot of Junk
weather as he handed out for September
and then has the nerve to tell us that the
prevailing wind was from the sweet,
balmy south. If we know anything
about it, it was from the wettest, coolest
northeast on the globe. In September,
Minnesota people have right to expect
the finest of Indian Summer days, with
flmy cobwehs floating thru the air
and thick, blue haze yelling she glory
of the hills and woods. A right to ex-
pect it, we. repeat, for Minnesota has for
years furnished just that kind of fall
days until her inhabitants de- not intend
to put up with any other sort. The
weather man will find himself quite
without a job if he doesn't behave little
more sensibly. Think of It! Thunder
storms on the 10th, 12th, 18th and
cloudy weather "a days cat of the thirty.
Maximum temperature of 80 recorded
on the 5th made us think for time that
summer had at last arrived, but a mini
mum temperature OF 81 ten days later
told us we had better be getting out the
things that smell of moth balls. The
mean temperature of a shade under 60
degrees was not SO bad, in fact it was
only fraction lower than the general
/ average for the month. according to
st. Paul weather bureau reports. Had
it not been for the continuous rains a
temperature like that would make the
finest kind of fall weather. And at that,
we have a great deal to be thankful for.
With clear weather there Is every pro-
liability that the Frost King would have
got in his deadly work on the corn fields
ere this. The rainy, cloudy nights
saved the situation and gave the corn
time enuf to mature to a point where it
is now reasonably safe from severe loss.
So Minnesota weather, especially in this
valley including Brown and Nicollet
counties, is hard to beat, spite Of thun-
lderstorms and wind, all that.

President Vincent Coming

President George Vincent of the
University of Minnesota has sent as
surance to the Alberta literary So
ciety that he will give them a date
in the near future when he will de-
liver lecture at the high school
auditorium. School will close within
a few weeks and great preparations
are being made to make Mr.. Vincent s
visit here a memorable event. So
far as Alberta can remember no per-
son so distinguished at President Vim
cent has ever visited the town.
His determination to visit the school
here was sealed with a letter from
Prof. Grafelman some time ago tell
ing of the progress of the work and
the interest being taken by parents
and pupils alike. Mr.. Vincent ex.
pressed his admiration and felt long

sofa to have such prominent posi-

MAIL CARRIER TO
MASK AS A WOMEN
Shortage of Girls in Alberta
Forces Clyde Roberts to De-
ceive Judge Weinand

Because there are not enough girls
to 60 around in Alberta, Clyde Ro-
berts. the we'll known and popular
mail carrier, will appear before Judge
Weinand in court next week dressed
as a woman. He is to be one of. the
star witnesses in breach of promise
suit to be tried before packed house.
Roberts has never appeared in wo-
mans garb either in or out of court
room before but he feels so sure of
deceiving Judge Weinand on that score
that he is going to 'slip one uver" on
that notorious compounder of mixed
justice.
1t all came about three weeks ago
when the Alberta band decided to give
play. In assigning the parts it was
discovered there were not girls enough
who would accept, probably because
there are thirteen characters in the
plot and girls. you know, are super
stitious. The thing almost ended in
failure when Roberts came to the res
cue. Rehearsals have been in pro-
gress for some time and the date for
presentation will be Saturday evening,

Chokio Clouters Defeated

Lowering clouds and chilly blasts
from Medicine Hat ushered in the base
ball season in Alberta last Sunday
when the mighty clouters from Chokio
and the local swat artists performed
before congregation of about fifty
six fans who stood shivering through
the service. There was plenty of fire
works but very little real ball. The
locals finished the game with II scores
to their credit while Chokio had only
IA. The game, such as it was, scored
a hit for clean sports and the best of
feeling prevailed and at no time was
the umpire in danger
The game was played by the
Chokio and Alberta second teams
and although it abounded in two and
three-base hits there were no BRILL.

the only home run at a time wher

LADIES' CLUB TO
WORK FOR A PARK
Will Cooperate with Commercial
Club in Securing Much Need
ed City Improvement

Alberta is going to have public
park. The Ladies' Club is back of
the movement and the Commercial
Club has promised to assist them and
that is sufficient guarantee that the
park is coming-right away, perhaps.
From purely social organization
begun two years ago the club has
grown into body that stands for civic
improvement and industrial progress.
At recent meeting the matter of a
definite aim and purpose was discussed
and some of the members suggested
park. The matter was brought to
the attention of the commercial club
with the result that four members
from each club were selected and this
committee met Monday afternoon for
the purpose of viewing several pro-
posed sites. Two of the lots are on
the Great Northern right of way and
one belongs to Mr.. Fougeron near the
high school grounds. The committee
will report on the matter at joint
meeting of the clubs later on. Fol-
lowing the tour of inspection Monday
afternoon the committee had it's pic
ture taken by Miss Gulbranson, To-
cal artist of exceptional talent.
Next Friday evening the Ladies'
Club will give the first dance in a
series of entertainments planned for
the future. Watzke's orchestra has
been secured for the occasion. The
ladies will serve supper at the hall
for which no fee will be charged.
The usual price for dance tickets
will prevail, and spectators Will be
charged Is cents.

OF THEM

at the meeting held at the home of
Mrs. Eystad last week. The club is
one of the exclusive social organiza-
tions of the town and one that is TAX
ing more than ordinary interest in
civic matters. Just now the club
members are turning their attention
to the matter of securing a public
park for the village, and they have
other plans for public improvements,
Messrs. Larson, Lemmerman. Nor
by and Braun took an automobile ride
to Morris last Sunday in Mr.. Braun's
new car and although they found
humpy roads and heavy wind i'm
peding their progress they made
good time and had comfortable
trip. The new car is a Chevrolet,
the agency for which Mr.. Braun has
taken. While at Morris the men
had the pleasure of looking over
construction work at the new high
school building, and also got good
view of the Pomme de Terre valley.
School opened Monday with the
usual attendance in all the rooms. Be-
cause the freight train was late Miss
Hall was unable to answer roll-call at
the usual hour and the children were
given an extra hours vacation. Miss

try, Miss Glessner at Minneapolis.
and Prof. Grafelmann remained here.
The whole school has settled down to
systematic work and will keep a
steady grind till the summer vacation
in June.
The dance last Friday night was a
social as we'll as financial success.
The hall was we'll filled and many
from outside points attended. All

of the opera house have talked the
matter over and the next time the
! fresh young men disport themselves
in a similar manner on an Alberta
dance hall floor they are to be given a
ride in the Alberta Jitney bus.
The committee appointed by the
Ladies' Club to prepare the dance
program for the social entertainment
to be given next Friday evening has
finished it's labors and pusters are out
announcing the event. The ladies
know what a dance should be and
how it should be managed. Besides
providing a good program and GOOD
music they will serve supper free
of charge at the hall. Alberta wo-
men have reputation far and wide
for their excellent cooking and some
of the very best cooks in town are on
the job at this dance supper.
Home building is on in dead earnest
in Alberta this week. Hundreds of
new families are arriving daily and
many of them have decided to remain
here for the season, at least. They
are from the southern states and al.
though they do not pay cash or trade
other property for the locations they
select they are genuinely welcome.
The new arrivals are the featherec

Pains and Aches
Caused by Kidneys

Many women attribute ailments
am fering to some disease pecu-
lias l their sex, when often the
pain misery is caused by weak
or defa Il kidneys. Housework,
office WOlN or factory work may
start the tIouble, and dizzy spells,
pufIiness under eyes, sore muscles,
stiff joints, discolored or scanty urine,
sleep disturbing bladder ailments,
rheumatism or diabetes may result.
When the kidneys are strong and
healthy they filter out from the blood
the poisonous waste matter. When
they are sluggish or overworked they
need a medicine to clean them out
and invigorate action. Foley Kidney
Pills are prepared expressly for the
purpose of dissolving all poisonous
substances and uric acid that lodge
in the joints and muscles and to
cleanse and strengthen stopped
inactive kidneys. Thousands of men
and women in all parts of the county
testify to the wonderfully satisfac-
tory results they have had from taxi
ing Foley Kidney Pills.

FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1915.
The New Municipal Court
Law

The absurdity of the provisions OF
this law are more manifest upon
closer examination. With few
minor changes, the former law would
have been entirely satisfactory to
every one. h, There should have been
three or, four places usi n e s S
centres-in the County where cases
could be called whether criminal or
civil.
The new law however, has changed
the wholesome and salutary pro
cedure of trying binding up proceed
ings in any Town in the County and
compels Court Of Inquiry" to SIT
in the Town where the offense was
committed.
Note the text
Sec. 5. "I In prosecutions in Mu-
nicipal and City Courts, the place OF
trial shall, be in the Town in which
the offense was committed"
Sec. 10. "The word prosecution
as used.in[ this act, shall be held to
mean and include all prosecutions by
complaint or information"
We necessarily arrive at the con
clusion stated in the plain reading
of the passages quoted, especially
since, not only by implication, but
by the terms of the act itself, all
prior laws inconsistent Herewith are
repealed.
