Mrs. L. I. Bjorneberg thinks that
someone needed tablecloths for Thanks
giving day badly for Monday night two
of hers were borrowed from her clothes
line and have not yet been returned.
Not only table cloths either, for the
borrower picked out her best sheets, lace
trimmed ones, two of them, and without
so much as by your leave, took them
along. Probably the Thanksgiving
guests are expected to stay over night
and the borrower wishes to make good
impression on the visitors. At any rate,
Mrs. Bjorneberg is minus the four
articles which among other things hung
on her wash line when she left to 60 to the
fire Monday evening. AS there was no
wind, there is only one way to suppose
the articles got away.

THREE HOMES DAMAGED BY
FIRE
Continued from first page.

owner, Mrs. Maria Elder, is spending the
winter with relatives in the cities. Loss
to the occupants of the house consisted
of damage done to furniture in carrying
it out. The Buehrers figure theirs at $50
and the Viergevers at slightly more,
reaching possibly 500. The Amund-
sons, being in the part of the house away
from the flames, suffered no material
loss.
It will take some weeks repair the dam
ages and meantime two families will
be obliged to find other quarters which
are hard to secure at this time. It is
supposed that the fire. started from a
short circuit in the electric wiring some
little distance, to the northeast OF the
chimney. There was no evidence to
show that the chimney was at fault, and
while the short circuit theory is only
a guess, it seems the most probable,
altho the fire might have originated from
mice finding matches.

PARENTS AND CHILDREN CELE.
BRATE TOGETHER.

A very pleasant anniversary OF triple
significance was celebrated at the Fred
Rolloff home in Milford Sunday in honor
of the Both wedding day of Mr.. and Mrs.
Rolloff, the fifth wedding day of their
daughter Mrs. Fred Dehn and the first
wedding anniversary Of their daughter
Mrs. Otto Milbrett. In reality, the
three weddings fell on the 18th,
10Th and goth but Sunday was
decided upon as the best day to observe
the celebration. ..
The Rolloffs were married at the Lu-
theran Church in New Ulm thirty years
ago last Saturday. Mrs. Rolloff was Miss
Emile Heymann before her marriage
and both bride and groom were resi-
dents of Milford where they have lived
ever since. They are the parents of
nine children, all living and all of whom
we're at home for the occasion. Those
who no longer live with their parents
are Emil of Appleton, Wis.,, teacher,
Ed, telegrapher at Balaton, Minnesota,
Mrs. Dehn and Mrs. Milbrett.
The younger children are William, Al
fred, Fred, Elma and Raymond.
Besides the family party a number of
friends were present and all enjoyed the
occasion very much: Mrs. VIM. Helvig
and her two little sons, of Minnea-
polls, were also present. Mrs. Helvig
is sister Of Mr.. Milbrett and has been
visiting here for short time.

SUIT CASE ROBBERS AT DULUTH.

J. Loefelmacher of Fairfax was
visitor in New Ulm Monday and when
he called at the Review Office he added
an interesting bit to the history Of the
suitcase buglaries which have so mysti-
fled merchants for the past six months.
His son, Albert Loeffelmacher, has
store at Gary, Mimi, near Duluth where
the new steel plant is going up, and just
a few days before the last burglary was
committed at Gibbon, on opening his
store one morning he found that rear
window had been broken and the store
entered. -Four grips were missing and
several suits. In their place were left
two suits of old clothing which the
visitors had evidently changed for new
outfits.
On telephoning his loss to the sur
rounding territory he received the in
formation that two men had been at
a saloon on the outskirts of West Du-
luth at daylight and had left four
grips to be called for later. These grips
on being opened revealed the missing
goods from the Gary store.
It appears that the two men after
securing their booty found that they had
to walk six miles before they could
secure transportation to the larger
city. The street cars did not run during
the night and they were obliged to make
the best of their predicament and got
as far as the saloon mentioned at day
break and were then afraid to be seen
carrying the grips when they knew
the alarm would soon be given. They
therefore abandoned their loot, saying
they would call for the grips later.
They did not go back, but if the saloon
keeper is right in saying that the de-
scription of the men tailed with that
of those taken at Gibbon, they must
have made for the southern part of
the state Immediately for it was but a
day or two after that the second burg
larry at Gibbon followed by the cap
ture of the men was reported. If the
men are wearing in jail the suits
that they copied at Gary, several
questions as to who the suitcase burg
lars are might be set at rest.

BOOKER 7.

His mother was a slave, and Booker T. Washington, whose death
occurred a few days ago, born in Virginia, about the year 1858, al
set him free. In his boyhood he worked in a salt furnace and also
in a coal mine in West Virginia, in the same period obtaining the
rudiments of an education in a night school. Such were hee dismal
beginnings of the most useful citizen the Afro-American race has
lated. Hegained admission to a Normal institute, subsequently
became an instructor in the institution, and in 1881 was selected
to organize the present great industrial college for negroes at Tus-
kegee, Alabama, with which his memory will ever be associated.
Booker 7. Washington was in a class by himself. No other
mar of negro blood in America has compared with him for en-
Tightening influence. The eloquent Frederick Douglass doubtless
contributed to the promotion of the abolition cause, but Booker T.
Washington wrought for the upift of the negro race morally and
materially, with direct benefit to individuals in uncounted number;
with a general effect seen in the progress of his people in learning
and accomplishment. He aimed to give them practical education
along the lines Of trade and industry leading to an ultimate con-
dition of economic independence in the South
This exceptional man had a sympathetic soul and a mind of
power. Exercising his talents and virtues for the improvement of
the black people of his country, he benefited people of all races.
Booker T. Washington, tactful, unagreSsive, relying upon the
forces Of moral suasion, gave good service to the nation and to
humanity. In the Hall Of Fame are inscribed less deserving names
than his.
It was the simplicity of Washington's remedies that did the most
to commend them. He told the negro that the only way he could
win respect for himself was to work hard and to work inteligently
and it was to help him do this that Tuskegee Institute was estab-
hshed. Not by striving for social or political recognition or by
following along educational lines which took him away from man
ual labor could he succeed in improving his position.
No one more fully admitted the evils which followed the sudden
change from slavery to freedom. The latter, he declared, coui(
not be a boon unless by the self-discipine of hard work the negro
po1ved himself worthy of it.
Iii materialistic, but many would do we'll to pay more attention
to the materialstc basis of life. It is by losing sight of it that &
large proportion of ideaists come to grief.
Washington once remarked in discussing the religious enthuS
iasm of a shiftless colored man that it seemed to him rather toe
sudden ajunp from d dirty one-roOmed cabin on earth to a many
n1ansioned house in the skies, and that he thought it would be bet
ter to work for better living quarters down below instead of letting
the mind dwell exclusively on what was expected after death.

Last week was North Dakota Appreciation Week. For the first
time in the history of the state a concerted movement having for
it's purpose the fostering of State Patriotism, was made, and the
result was far in excess of the hopes Of its promoters. Practl-
North Dakota matter and more than three hundred papers, or over
sxty-fve per cent, published big special editions. In addition to
this, the schools all over the state held special exercises and the
coming citizens Of this commonwealth wrote essays about the
Of influence and standing in the several communities. North Da-
kota churches held special Appreciation exercises and Commercial
Clubs held meetings, dinners or gatherings of other kinds, where
the states opportunities and resources were enumerated.
The first North Dakota Appreciation Week was well worth while.
Too many Of our citizens have looked upon North Dakota as a tenn
porary residence rather than as the best place on earth for HOME.
We must realize that North Dakota is the best place on earth in
which to live before we will give to this state the support and de-
velopment which she needs and which til S our duty to give.
Here's hoping that North Dakota Appreciation Week will be-
come an annual feature of North Dakota life.

The Democratic National Committee is without a secretary and
a considerable number Of its members want to discharge the chair

gentleman who composed the official comment Of the committee
on this years election results. They mean merely, said this doc
Ementt, that the Progressives and the Republicans are reunited.
Nothing more is needed to assure a Republican victory in 1916.
Wilson received the ELECTORAL vote of forty-one states in 1912 and
had 435 votes in the electoral college. He had a majority support
in only fourteen states, with 1872 electoral votes. In the other
thirty-four states the combined Republican and Progressive

In District court the other day in the case Of Carl Olson, who
was being tried for bootlegging, the judge advised the jury to
bring in a verdict of acquittal, forthe reason that Olson had been
charged in the information with the crime of bootlegging, and in
streets or alleys, or on public property when he sold booze, and
from the evidence in the case, if he had sold booze, he was on pi-
deaut the he info information It filed: We do not question the action Of the
action, but we do believe that if such is the law that it is a mighty
poor one. When a supposed criminal can dodge around and get
case it is time to either abolish the law or amend it so that when a
man sells Intoxicating liquor that his guilt will not depend upon
whether he stood on the back end of some lot or in the alley a foot
away. Really, as to the extent Of the crime committed, what does
it matter whether a fellow stands on a sheet of paper or on a dry
goods box when he sells booze.

Another tragedy was staged in this state last week, in which in
toNicating liquor played an important part. It was the taking of
his own life by a prominent attorney Of this state, who had been
|honored and respected by a large circle of friends, but whose in
satiable desire for strong drink brought him to a suicides grave.
Some people will argue that liqour is all right if properly used, and
yet, did you ever see one who could use it right? On the other
hand when we see such a tragedy enacted as took place at Bis
marck last week, is it not enough to make us pause and think?
This is only one of hundreds, yes thousands of cases caused by in
toNcating liquor. Who says that whiskey does not do harm?

This county has produced a splendid crop this year, and farmers
are reaping a splendid reward for the years work, and now the
time has come for settling up the business of the year and they
should not forget the troubles of the business man. Practically
every business man has been carrying a big load in order to extend
credit to his customers, and now the wholesale houses are after
their money, and these business men must look to those who owe
them in order to meet their own obligations. Any farmer who has
grain to sell and owes the merchant or other business men, should
make an extra effort to pay up. It is not always a smooth path
that the business man has to travel over, and the credit that they
are compelled to extend to their customers often makes life a bur-
den to them, and the farmer should realize this fact and try and
meet his obligations at the earliest possible moment after his crop
is ready for market.
