have no intention Of making New Ulm
their permanent home, and he gave
it as his opinion that unless this were
done the residence proposition would
probably never be satisfactorily settled.
In this connection he also called at
tention to the fact that the sewer
district is quite limited in the city of
New Ulm and that steps should be
taken to increase it, especially that por-
tion OF it west of State and Washington
Str. which is without sewer connection of
any kind, with the exception of South
Washington Street, which has sewer
connection. The Club, however, took
no action with reference to having
this Improvement league project or the
matter of enlarging the sewer district
considered and taken up at this time.
President Ottomeyer certainly started
something, when he suggested that
the Board of Education should be
encouraged to introduce commercial
department into the public schools and
if possible also have an evening course,
where some who have already left
school will be given opportunity to get
a proper commercial training. Altho
the club members were informed that
the Board of Education has already
taken this matter under advisement
and that there is no question but that
an evening school will also be inaugu-
rated, provided there are enough who
would enroll for the work, still quite
a few of those present seemed to think
it was an opportune time to air their
views on how to settle the boy problem.
All those who joined in the discussion
seemed to think because the growing
youth apparently feels that older people
are nothing but old fogies and know
absolutely nothing, that there is some
thing radically wrong with the training
and upbringing of the youth. Principal
Peterson who was present took oc-
casion to tell the members present that
no good results could be obtained in
this problem, unless there is a hearty
cooperation between the parents and
the teachers.
Before the close of the meeting the
matter of the Elwell Law was brought
up for discussion and it was unan:-
mously resolved that the club was
opposed to the repeal of this law and
the Senator and the Representative
at-large of Brown and Redwood Coun-
ties and the Representative of this
County were requested to use their
efforts on behalf of retaining the law
as it is at the present time.
Since the last meeting the only
member who has joined the club is
Thomas Mccarthy.

Without the vote of Representative
at-Large Albert Hauser of Sleepy Eye,
County Option would not have passed.
TO pass this measure &c votes were neces-
sary and that is the total number OF
zotes that were polled at the time the
measure passed the House. We may
be mistaken but we believe that the
sentiment in Brown County is over
whelmingly opposed to County Option,
and if the general election had been
held on well-defined lines between
County Option and Anti-County OPP
ion,, then Mr.. Hauser would not have
carried Brown County and would not
have been elected. Other issues were
injected into, the campaign which seemed
t;,,tae, voter at the time of more impor-
sssuse than the question OF County
Option. 1t was made to appear to
she voter that the legislative candidates
fJr~ Brown and Redwood Counties had
been determined upon by the powers
ehat be in St. Paul and it was also made
20 .appear that no one had any right to
.ua: for any of these legislative offices
unless he had the approval of certain
parties in New Ulm. By their vote
bst fall the people Of Brown County
4yistered decided disapproval of such
methods.
IF such maneuvers are to be continued
Brown County may wake up some morn
nc to- find County Option has beer
bisted upon it, contrary to the wishes
af a big majority.

COAL MINERS CLOCKS.
Telling tho Time Of Day by Lamp or
an Oil Flask.

0U VII Tu0ONs
Do you know that every miner When
descending into the pit to work takes
with him a couple of clocks? These
are not ordinary timepieces. for they
have neither wheels, springs. dials nor
any of the usual appurtenances. The
clocks are simply his lamp and oil
flask. BY noting the quantity of oil
consumed-or that left-the miner can
tell to within a few minutes any hour
of the day or night.
When miners lamp goes out, as it
not infrequently does, in almost any
circumstances he must not relight it
himself. Instead. though he may be
left in pitch darkness. he must grope
his way to the lamp cabin or to some
other point where he can obtain the
proper assistance. He does the crop
ing with his hands. stopping down
until he touches the tram lines along
which the coal is taken. and sliding
his hands along the metal until he
reaches his destination or meets some
one going in the same direction.
A coal hewer's earnings depend on
the weight of coal he gets and also on
the number of fathoms cut. A cubic
yard of coal weighs about eighteen
hundredweight. and the outstretched
arms of an average man extend to
about one fathom. BY these measure.

AN OUTRAGEOUS ABsURDITY.

Friends of equal suffrage in New Jer-
sey discovered before final passage by
the Legislature of the suffrage resolu-
ton, that a trick was about to be played
that would have invalidated the measure.
In one place comma had been ommitted
and in another place the word "eight"
appeared instead of the roman figure
will" Astounding as it may appear
to most persons, had the resolution
gone thru in this shape it would have
been invalidated. A constitutional a
mendment must pass two successive
legislatures in New Jersey. The suf-
frage resolution passed the last Legis-
lature with the comma in its proper place
and the figure "VIII'' used instead of
EIGHT. The substitution made the
resolution adopted by the present Legis-
lature an entirely different measure and
would have required it's passage again by
the next Legislature. Then another lit
tie change might have been accidentally,
made causing another delay and so
on indefinitely. Fortunately it's friends
were vigilant. But what is to be said
of system that gives such consequence
to such silly trifles? What kind OF
court is it that may be seriously ex-
pected to annul an act on such grounds?
Less absurd situations have been made
the basis of apparently impossible plots
Of comic operas. New Jersey women
have had an experience which should
teach them that one use to make of the
right Of suffrage is to put an end to the
senseless system whereby mistakes Of
this kind may Illustrate the popular will

WHAT IS TO BE DONE?

We, the citizens of the United States
of America, appeal in the name of JUS
tice and humanity, in the name of
neutrality and future peace to the
people, to the lawmakers, and the
government of our country, to prevent
the export from our shores of one single
weapon, or of one pound of powder
to deal death in Europe. We recog.
mise the fact, that the export is legally
permissible through private firms, but
nevertheless know, that our executive
and our legislature can stop such ex
port by determined course of stric

Official Paper OF the City of New Ulm.

1t may not be generally known, but
it is a. fact that land monopoly in this
country is coming to such pass, that
an investigation has been ordered OF
conditions as they exist in Texas, and
at the present time commission under
the leadership of Frank Walsh is now
IN session in Dallas, making a thoro
investigation. Farm conditions there
are positively villainous and oppressive
20 such an extent that it is hard to be-
deve,. that free born white Americans
would ever submit to such conditions.
Affairs have become so serious that
Governor Ferguson of the state has
gathered rent limitation law which
s lamost certain of being enacted at
she current session of the Texas legis-
Ature This law if it does pass will
aot give permanent relief because it
will only deal with a mere symptom OF
The evil. Conditions in Minnesota are
aot so bad as they are in Texas, but If
aothlng is done to curb the greed ana
avarice of the land sharks it will be
only question of short time till we
will have to face the same proposition
IN this stare. The only solution OF
she question is full value tax on all
land held out of use for speculative
gain, so that the land will be forced
onto the market at fair prices. Besides
chat an agency, under state control,
should be established to make it easy
or" farm tenant to buy farm homes
n ten to thirty year terms with a pay
nent they now make as rental. This
san be done, it must be done and will
be done. t is up to the citizens to de-

be put into operation.

The royal name in geology is I'M

was Lyell who did for geology what
Copernicus did for the heavens and
Darwin for the realm of biology-gave

stating its true laws. Before Lyell's
time geology was largely romance, but

GIRL HERSELF TO BLAME
Opinion of Authorities Concerning
Death of Miss ShurtIieff


Death of Miss ShurtIieff
That Olive e. Shurtlieff Of Worces-
ter, Mass. craZed with the fear OF
the shame that would shortly come
upon her, herself attempted the dan
gerous operation that resulted in her
death, is the belief of Medical Ex-
aminer Baker, the local police and the
girls own parents.
The 20-year- old girl, the only child
OF a highly respected family and
choir singer in Congregational
church, died suddenly In a massage
establishment of blood poisoning

man frontier. The fall of PrZemysl
relieves 100, 900, which had consti-
tuted the investing forces. There are
in motion east and south of the be-
s1eged city driving back German and
Austrian armies repeatedly sent to
the relief of the place, and there are
$50, 600 in and around Tarnow, fifty
miles from Cracow, where the Aus
tro-German forces have been held in
check throughout the winter in an
ticipation of PrzemysyTs fall.
The siege Of Przemysl began on
Sept. 16 last, when it was in
vested by the victorious Russians who
had just captured Lemberg. The
siege lasted longer than that of Port
Arthur, and its outcome will go far
toward wip1ng out that defeat for the
Russians.
Petrograd, London and Paris are
celebrating the event. Petrograd and
Paris in the spontaneous manner char
acteristic Of those cities; London with
silent and grim satisfaction, which is
the Briton's way.
AS to Italy
The Italian situation is receiving
renewed attention by the press of the
allies, though rumOrs, rather than
facts, seem to be the basis of most OF
the dispatches.
The Italian embassy at London has
no confirmation of the report that
freight traffic between Italy and Ger
many by way of Switzerland has
been stopped, nor is there any con-
tirmation Of the reported massing OF
Austrian and German troops along the
Austrian littoral nor the assem- bling
OF artillery at Trieste.
Nothing of great Importance has
been recorded in the western war
zone.
In the east, the situation around
the German port of Memel is the most
interesting. From this town the Ger
mans maintain they have driven the
russians, while a controversy is be-
ing waged by the press Of the two
countries as to the merits of the Rus
sian contention that civilians fired on
them in this latest incursion in East
Prussia-an act which demanded re-
prisals.
There is no late news from the OAR
danelles, and the belief in England
seems to be that the operations will :,
perhaps, be more protracted than at
first expected.

mines while engaged with the remain

forts in the narrows of the Darda-

The crews of the two British ships
were virtually all saved, having been
transferred to other ships under a hot
fire, but an internal explosion took
place on board the Bouvet after she
had fouled the mine and most of her
crew was lost. The Bouvet sank
within three minutes of the time that
she hit, the mine.
The waters in which the ships were
lost had been swept of mines, but the
British admiralty assert that the Turks
and the Germans set floating contain
ers of explosives adrift, and these
were carried down by the current to
the allied ships gathered inside the
entrance of the straits.
All the ships sunk were old, the
Bouvet having beeen completed near
ly twenty years ago, and the Ocean

Another was that one of the NJ. A. c.

simply went out to College Park each
afternoon to practice. Then another
story was started that the Farmers

was likely to bandage himself up in

against Hopkins. inasmuch as he had
done that last year in the second half,
and won the game for NJ A. c.. after

BL0DGETT FORGING AHEAD.
Leading in Competition for Left End
on NaYY's Team.

ANNAPOLIS. Md, November 1S.--
Blodgett is beginning to forge ahead of
Won Heimberg in the competition for
the position at left end on the Naval
Academy team. AS the winner will
drop back to do the punting. kicking
ability will be a big factor, and Blod-
gett is covering more ground with his
punts, besides having the advantage in
weight and experience. Each days
practice makes it more certain that
Craig will start the game at quarter.
rather than Capt. Miles, and that c. NJ.
Jones will have the preference at cen
ter over II. s. Jones.
Practice was secret yesterday after
noon, except for naval people, and the
smooth working of the new backfeld,
composed OF Craig. Westphal, Davis
and Martin, won the heartiest applause
of the midshipmen who assembled in
numbers. Blodgett, Johnson and Won
Heimberg, the leading end candidates,
showed improvement in taking the ball
on the forward pass plays, which are
expected to be a big factor in the game
against the Army.
