lived on their farm in the Town of Mil
of whom two died in infancy. One
daughter, Mrs. Adolph Schell, died in
May, 1918. Mrs. Zieher is survived
by the following daughters: Mrs. Cenci
Fredericks of St. Paul; Mrs. Charles L..
Roos of Wellington, Kansas, and Miss
Antonio Zieher Of this city. She is also
survived by grandchildren, one sister,
Mrs. Caecilia Walser of West Newton,
and one brother, Xavier Schaible who
lives in Germany. At the time of her
death she was member of the Mother
Society of the Catholic Church of this
city.
At the time of the Home Coming
celebration in August, 1912, while on
her way home from German Park where
she had been to listen to the exercises
held there she had the misfortune to
break her thigh-bone and she was con-
fined to her bed for a long time. On
the day of her sudden demise Mrs.
Zleher was on the program to .recite a
poem of her own composition and she
had looked forward to this celebration
with keen anticipation. She was
stricken while trying to be of service to
her friends and neighbors, in way a
fitting manner to be taken, since her
whole life had been consecrated to service
to her family, to her friends and to her
neighbors. Always of a cheerful dis
position, she was able to meet with the
hardships and adversities of early pioneer
life without sacrificing her sunny dis
position. She was uniformly kind to
everybody and hadn't an enemy in the
world. Her death, therefore, caused
wave of genuine sympathy to sweep
over the entire community.
The funeral was held Monday morn
ing at $3.50 from Holy Trinity Catholic
Church, Rev. Schlinkert officiating. In
terment was made in the Catholic Gene
terry. ..
PETER LIEBER
Word was received here the other day
that Peter Lieber, at one time a resident
of this city had passed away at Duessel-
dorf, Germany, August 10Th, aged 81
years. At the time of his death he was
United States consul at Dusseldorf,
the home of his nativity. He was one
OF the very early pioneers to come to
New Ulm and engaged in the merchan-
disc business and also in dealing in furs
which he bought from the Indians. In
1860 he was married to Miss Sophia
Andre. During the Civil War he
served with the Minnesota Light Battery.
It was at this time that his wife moved to
indianapolis and after his discharge
from the army Mr.. Lieber went to
indianapolis and continued to reside
there until 1888 when he returned to
Dusseldorf where he lived until his
death. While at Indianapolis he was
engaged in the brewery business and for
about twenty years he was chief execu-
tive officer of the P. Lieber Brewing Co.
He is survived by his widow and five
children, Albert Lieber and Mrs. Fred
Francke who live in Indianapolis and
Miss Laura Lieber, Mrs. Emma Herber
| and Rudolph Lieber, an officer in the
German army, who reside in Germany.

mind that Mrs, Carroll will deliver a lee
ture each afternoon and that nearly all

means that thousands of housekeapers in
the city will have an opportunity 10 hear

that the cooking school and demonstra-
tons for the public and the cooking con-
test for girls of school cooking classes are
separate events OF the big domestic
science movement which the EVENING
LEDGER is promoting.
The cooking contest Is being conducted
in the interest of the children who have
shown such keen interest in their cook
ms courses during the school year
It is seldom that children have an on
portunity TO win, by their own merit,
such valuable prizes as the s35 cabinet

OF the four divisions of the contest.

sponge cake baking, one for cooky bak-
Ing and one for biscuit baking.

ranging a program for each day This

date, before the end OF this week. The
plan viii be TO leave nearly ali of the

attend, giving up only two or three after
moons to special classes, such as for self
supporting working girls. for clubwomen
and for women who work outside OF their

FARMERS NORMAL
INSTITUTE IN SESSION
Horse Breeding and Poultry
Raising Discussed by Ex-
perts of National Repute.

EXPOSITION PARK, Conneaut Lake,
Pa, May 25-Dr Carl w. Gray, Of the
University of Pennsylvania, was one OF
the principal speakers at the session to-
day Of the farmers annual Normal In
stitute in annual session here Doctor
Gray who is a nationwide expert on
horse breeding, spoke particularly upon
the draft breed as that Is the type OF
animal OF most interest to the average
farmer. His lecture was illustrated and
pronounced to be one OF the best Of Its
kind heard in many years. AT the same
session Professor r.. L. Watts, dean OF
the experiment station at Pennsylvania
state College, spoke of the great work
of that institution and the good II is doing
for the farmers of this State, Professor
Wells w Cooke. of the United States De-
partment OF Agriculture, spoke on Tho
Relation of Birds to Agriculture"
The session of the institute this morning
was taken up with discussions on poultry.
The first speaker was Prof James e.
Rice. in charge of poultry husbandry at
Cornell University. Professor Rice dis
cussed at some length the program in
breeding poultry for egg production. He
was followed by w. Theodore Whitman, OF
Allentown, the States consulting expert
on poultry. He discussed the question OF
varieties, with particular consideration of
the subject as It has to do with the
farmer.
Mr. whitman again urged his fellow
workers in Pennsylvania to insist on the
observation of rooster day on June 1,
when it is proposed to kill off or get rid
of all roosters on the farm not needed
for breeding purposes. A reduction of
over-fertile eggs is the object of the
movement. The date was set last year
when the meeting was held at Strouds-
burg, and reports received at the De-
Dartment show that there has been some
beneficial results.
Tomorrow morning the institute will
hear reports from the States corps of
farm advisers, as we'll as the lecturers.
