At a recent meeting of the village
council of Springfield the bids of the
A. C. Ochs Brick and Tile Company
and of R. F. Wherland to furnish cleo

rent "a hours service at the following
prices: As cents for S years, 4.3 cents
cents for I years, cents for 10 or Is
years. The latter submitted the fol-
lowing bid: 1900 volts, three phase
alternating current for years at a 1-2
cents per kwt., for the following S years
at A Ia cents and the following S years
at cents.
A remonstrance bearing 81 signatures,
the signers Directing to placing the light
ing service in the hands of any private
person, firm or corporation, was presented
at the council meeting when this matter
was up for discussion. With the re.
lection of both bids the neighborine

REPAIRS FOR HERMAN'S MONU-
MENT.

Chas. Hauenstein and John Hetlinger
represented Denknal Lodge No. Fl
of the Order of Sons of Hermann at the
annual convention of the Grand Lodge
of this Order held at St. Paul on Tuesday
and Wednesday of last week. The
strength of the Order in this State ac-
cording to the reports of the officers is a
trifle over $500 active members. During
the past year $4,000 was paid out
for death benefits, 1872 members having
died. The salary of the Grand Secre-
tary was raised from SIS month to
$125 month, but, hereafter he will
have to devote his entire time to the well
fare of the Order. A lengthy discussion
ensued over the repairs necessary on
the Hermann's Monument in this city.
It was finally decided to carry out the
repairs as recommended by the committee

NEW UIM, BROWN COUNTY. MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY FEB

not issue one relief order during the en-
tire year. Com. Graft of the LIST issued
orders aggregating the sum of $145.
The highest relief was issued in the Sd
and 9Th districts, respectively $1,15O.65
and 100000. In the 9TH district
which includes the city of Sleepy Eye
Com. Steinke issued relief orders amount
ing to $527.89. Outside of several big
amounts that were paid out for bridg-
es, the bulk Of the $36,794.S4 of the
County Road and Bridge Fund was
expended for work done and material
furnished on the various state roads in
keeping them in repair and in grading
them. Bonds to the extent of $4,000
were paid out of the County Ditch
Fund. .-...
Only $3.50 was expended out of the
disinfection fund and that went to the
city of New Ulm. There was balance
of $463.5O in that fund on Dec. 31st
last. According to the Financial state
ment the county's assets exceed the liza
bilities by $139,049.43. Court House
and fixtures are valued at $4,000, the
jail building at $4,000 and the county
poor farm and buildings at $28, 500.
In looking over the statement some
things sort of ''stick out" and one in
voluntarily asks himself why the large
discrepancies in the compensation for
the same kind of work done by different
parties. For two days service as a
grand juror Ernst Thor received the
sum of $500 and Bernhard Esser re-
ceived for the same service $500. To
the uninitiated it may be said that the for
mer had to travel 102 miles to the county
seat and return and the latter travelled
only miles. The law allows the sum
of 10 cents per mile for actual travel.
Another instance where there seems
to be quite discrepancy is in the pay
ment of service rendered in making
general election returns. Peter Newdahl
of Burnstown received $500 for rendering
this service and F. w. Renner of Com
frey who lives fully as far away from the
County seat received only $1.20. There
are other similar items in the list but
no others quite so strong as the example
given above. .
The report is one of the most complete
furnished by any auditor of the State
to the residents of the county and Mr..
Vogels work should be appreciated to
the extent that all taxpayers give their
attention to his statement of what has
been done with their money.

PIPE ORGAN RECITAL VERY FINE.

The pipe organ concert at DR.. M. L..
college last Tuesday evening was not so
well attended as this splendid program
warranted. At that quite number of
those present came from the neighbour
ing towns of CORTLAND, Nicollet, Sleepy
Eye and Springfield. One man from
Gibbon walked 10 miles to be able to
be present and he says that he was we'll
repaid by this concert. Unless New Ulm
people take greater interest in these
concerts given by pipe organ virtuosos,
they will simply have to be discontinued
here.
Mr.. Andrews the organist who played
here last week is certainly an artist on
the pipe organ. He is master of the
instrument and displayed wonderful
technique. In Passacaglia and Fuge,
Marche Funebre ct Chante Seraphique,
Mendelssohn's 4th Senate, Haendel's
Largo and S. Bucks Finale of the End
Senate he showed his ability to produce
che finer shades of tone. The greater
part of the program was devoted to
more popular music, because that as a
rule appeals to the average audience.
The organist made happy choice
in his selection of Gounod's Serenade
and Nevins Song of Sorrow. AS encore
numbers he played Gavotte, his own
improvisation Of Home, Sweet Home"
and Nearer, my God to Thee" The
college choruses under the leadership
of Prof. Reuter-, accompanied by organ
and piano, rendered songs from Bach,
Brahms, and FIR. Lachner in very salts
factory manner. Their enunciation was
almost perfect and their appearance was
very pleasing.
Some of those who attended the con-
cert from outside points were: Rev.
Westerkamp, Springfield; Rev. William
Albrecht, Sleepy Eye; Rev. and Mrs. J.
Dysterheft, and Teacher Keller of San
born; Teacher Bussmann of CORTLAND;
Teacher Schroeder of Goodhue; Rev.
Koehler of Nicollet and Teacher He'll
mann of Nicollet; Rev. Pethke of Mar
shall and Miss Alma Schweppe of St.
James.

Wreck and Fire
Featured Week
NEITHER so SERIOUS AS MIGHT
HAVE EASILY BEEN THE
CASE
N. wv. ENGINES try CONCLu
SIONS. EARLY BLAZE AT NEW
RESTAURANT

Saturday morning the hill engine
of the Northwestern Road tried stunt
that is not often accomplished success
fully, that of trying to occupy space
already pretty full of engine. The hill
engine is in the hospital badly banged
up as a result of it's endeavor and the
switch engine which was occupying
the space which the other invaded is
also in the hospital keeping its fellow
sufferer company.
The hill engine is the extra engine
kept at the Northwestern yards to as
sist heavy trains in making the up
grade just north of the. city. It had
been on such an Grand Saturday morn
ing and was returning when it got into
mischief. The other engine, No. $50.
is the regular switch engine and was busy
on the Eagle Mill tracks in the north
end of the yards. Engineer Lehna1t
was in charge of it and he had just
brought his iron steed to a stop when out
of the cloud of steam and flying snow
came the hill engine, at yard speed
It was too late to avoid a collision and
the two engines came together with a
crash that stood each of them on their
launches. They dropped back to the
traks, neither one being derailed but
both badly smashed. Engineer Siebert
who was in charge of the attacking forces
said that there was so much steam in
the frosty air that he could not see the
other engine until right upon it. TsH
fireman was the only one hurt to speak
of ser lsbe has some bad bruises. Both
OF the engineers are new men in the
New Ulm yards. They are all very Tor
tunate that worse did not follow the
crash.
At five o'clock Monday morning while
the wind was blowing fercely the city
whistle shrieked out it's warning to the
people that one of the citizens was in
danger of losing his property by way Of
the fire route. The call came from the
Kalos Lunch room on South Minnesota
Street in the building recently remodeIled
by John C.. Siebenbrunner.
The cook had opened up for the days
work and had che gas heater going under:
the water tank near the partition that
separates the eating room from the
kitchen. Some articles hanging on the
partition caught fire and the man to be
sure of saving the place turned in an
alarm altho it turned out that couple
of chemicals could take care of the blaze.
The fire department made quick run
to the place but found that chemicals
had been brought from Crafts Livery
Barn and subdued the fire SO that
no water was necessary to speak of.
The upper rooms were filled with smoke
but by quickly opening the vents ne
great damage was done by it.
Insurance adjusters placed the loss
on the building at $500 and it was es-
timated that similar amount would
cover Mr.. Kalos' loss on his furnish
ings and supplies. His restaurant war
closed up pending the arrival of the adj
justers and arrangements were at once
made to repair and get things in shape
to start again within couple of weeks
Mr.. Kalos only recently came here
from Mankato and New Ulm people
are sorry to see him have this bad luck.

GOOD ROADS PAY.

Those who have been working to
popularize the Red Trail have new
thunder for their campaign in the
fact that motorists spent $25,000,O00
in Massachusetts, last season. No
statistics have been compiled by the
Red Trail boosters, but it is reason
able to suppose that considerable
money was expended by tourists along
that route last summer.
As soon as the trail becomes better
known and the roads comprising this
scenic route to the coast are given
more care, the traffic is bound to in.
crease.
The serious handicap now is the
lack of a bridge over the Missouri
river at Bismarck. There IS no re.-
son why Burleigh and Morton coun-
ties should not get together tais win
ter and devise scheme to build one.
Sentiment has been aroused Tor some
time. All that is needed is to organ.
ize and start the ball rolling.

A reply can be received quicker

Ordinarily it takes from eight to
ten days to get letter through from
the Indian reservation. Mail from
Bismarck is carried to Terry, Mont,
doubles back on the St. Paul road
and is then taken by stage to For;

mercial club to do some constructive

panaceas, threats and warnings.
There are more volunteer reform.

ably in any nation of its size in the
world.
Every clique which has specia:

societies for the prevention of war,
national defense organizations, aero
clubs, and hundreds of others, cover.
ing many "isms" and fads.

Peace suggestions abound. The,
range from the fellow who predicates
his theory upon the Holy Writ to tie
less religious advocates, who quote
from secular authors.
Unless the proof were at hand, who
could imagine that there were so
many remedies for the same evil?
This is the day of the pamphleteer.
Printers ink was never used more CO..

The facility with which all sorts OF
cranks can get cheap hearing
