SCHOOL BOARD MEETS.

The local school trustees held meet
ing Monday evening to look after various
matters requiring prompt attention,
among them being the decision to engage
another High School teacher to assist
with the Commercial Courses and
other work which now falls too heavy
upon other teachers owing to the vastly
increased attendance. Supt. Hess was
authorized to take action to find such a
teacher and the Board also decided to
offer the position of Music Instructor to
Miss Alma Marti of this city.
Another matter taken up was that of
enforcing the study of German in all
grades above the Fourth. Heretofore
it has been optional with the parents of
the pupils but will now be compulsory,
no pupils being excused except who come
in from outside and have had no previous
work in German.
The Domestic Science equipment is
now all in and has been accepted and is
ready for use. The Commercial De-
partment has an enrolment of some
thing like 40 pupils. IT,.

SAYS He INVENTED
UNSUITABLE SHIP
But Pittsburgh Man Refuses to
Tell Of What It Is Made.

- Fttsburgh.-A> battleship that can
not be sunk has been invented by a
Pittsburgh man whose identity is kept
secret by his attorney, John C. Thomp-
son. The material out Of which the
unsuitable ship is to be manufac-
tured is also a secret Plans and speci-
fcations have been placed in the hands
of the secretary Of the navy. according
to Mr.. Thompson.
Mr.. Thompson says his client has re-
ceived letter from Secretary Daniels
stating that as soon as the new advi-
sorry board Of inventors and scientists
is organized the invention will be placed
before it.
1t is stated that the inventor depends
almost exclusively on the interior con-
struction of the ship for his results
Under his plans all the craft Of the
United States navy would remain the
same to all outward appearances, but
all would be unsuitable. They would
carry just as many guns as at present,
but their armor would not be as heavy
as now.
According to the inventor, battle
ship equipped with his invention would
be practically invincible in battle be-
cause no matter how many times the
ship would be struck the craft would
remain upright and continue to float.

SILK THIEVES AGAIN. SUCCESS
Full.

ST. Peter was visited by silk thieves
last week. Some time between mid
night Tuesday and early Wednesday the
thieves entered the A. M. Anderson drv
goods store and took silks worth between
$500 and $1,000. Entrance to the store
was gained by way of a rear window.
Heavy iron shutters were fastened on
the outside of the wall in the rear of the
store and these were closed and bolted
from the inside but one of the shutters
was pried partly loose from the wall,
evidently to let one of the men push his
arm in and shove the bolts back, loosen
ing the two shutters. After the shutters
had been opened, one being taken off
completely, the screen was slid up and
the window pried open After having
gained entrance to the building in this
way, the rest was comparatively easy.
The thieves made their way to the
silk department where Mr.. Anderson
had recently put in new stock of fall
6oON"oS AAOAAA WAAASA CI1cy COOh CU6 O6SC
there was in the stock. They took 20
yards of taffeta, 80 yards of black crepe,
IL yards of Dolly Warden silk, Is pieces
OF tub silks, pieces of colored Mesa
lines, Is pieces of figured crepes of various
colors, 10 pieces of black crepe and few
other pieces of the best quality silks.
The thieves took nothing else but the
silks. The cash register which is directly
in front of the silk department, was not
tempered with and large supply of ex-
pensive furs which had also recently
been received, was left untouched. The
thieves left no clue behind. Not until
the dust cloths were removed the next
morning did the clerks find out that
robbery had been committed. The
police was Immediately notified but up
to-date the daring robbers have not been
apprehended.

Topeka--Floods can't keep Kansas
down. Most states would have raised
the white flag over the heavy grain loss
from rain and floods, but Kansas has
the old ensign flying over the fort.
Grain that lies on the ground. that
the hail and the winds and rain have
knocked fat, is to be converted into
mutton. From every county farmers
are sending orders for sheep. and with
in thirty days there will be more than
a million sheep feeding throughout the
state.
Along every valley in the state IN
precedented rains sent the water out
across the fields when the grain should
have been ripening. More than a mil
lion and half acres of wheat and
oats were ruined. With sheep getting
fat on this grain, the elimination of
harvesting, thrashing and marketing,
the farmers are looking upon life a
little more cheerfully these days.

PROF. MEYER TO LEAVE NEW
ULM.

The newly elected Board of Directors
of the DR.. Martin Luther College held
their first meeting since their election
at the College last Friday. The Board
organized by electing Rev. J. H. Maui
mann of Goodhue as president; Rev.
E. A. Pankow of ST.. James as secretary.
The following standing committees were
appointed: Board Of Visitors, Rev. R.
Siegler, Watertown, Wis; Rev. J. A.
Dysterheft of Sanborn and R. M.
Albrecht of Milwaukee, Wis. The local
committee consists of A. J. Dysterheft,
F. H. Retzlaff, H. Klatt, Prof. A. Acker-
mann and Prof. o. Montgomery. With
very few exceptions the new board is the
same as last years board. Those present
Friday we're Rev. J. H. Naumann, Rev.
Pankow, Rev. R. Siegler, E. w. Jutz, of
Norfolk, Nebr.; H. Klatt, F. H. Retz-
laff and Prof. A. Alderman.
The meeting had been called especially
for the purpose Of considering the re-
quest of Prof. John Meyer to be released
from his duties at the college and be
permitted to accept the call extended to
him by the Lutheran congregation at
Oconomowoc, Wis, Prof. Meyer stated
to the board that he preferred the work
OF minister to that of professor and
that he felt that he would be of greater
service to the Lutheran synod as a
minister than as teacher. The board
was anxious to retain the services of
Prof. Meyer at the local college, but
we're finally convinced by him that he
should be allowed to accept the call and
they reluctantly accepted his resignation.
Prof. Meyer has been a valuable man
to the institution and everyone who has
the welfare Of the College at heart
regrets to see him leave. He has been
with the faculty for II years and during
the whole of that time has taught re-
ligion, Greek and Latin. No successor
will be elected until the meeting to be
held October 22nd In the meantime a
student from the Wauwatosa college of
Watertown, Wis, will fill his place.
Prof. Meyer expects to leave about the
middle of the month.

THRILLS AND THROBS IN FAMOUS
 GRIFFITH SPECTACLE, THE BIRTH
 OF A NATION" AT POLPS THEATRE

s'The Birth of A Nation,'' heralded dramatic, historical and picturesque worth, is here. Opening at Polls the atre yesterday to large audiences, the wonderful historical drama lived up to every letter of it's glowing advance notices, and then left the spectator beggared of fitting adjectives to de scribe it's merit.
 F D. w. Griffith, who produced tThe Birth of A Natiop," wrought an epocha1 event in the amusement world. He put before the public, through the medium of the screen, a drama that at once is an accurate picture of a crucial period in American history and at the same time tells an interesting g story of true dramatic worth.
 f<The Birth of A Nation is in two acts The first deals with the inaporta- ton to this country of African slaves, and their quartering on the planta- tions of the South. Then comes the agitation of the abolitionists,< and se- cession over the question of state sov- ereignty.
 The battles of the civil war were de- picted in a scope Scarcely dreamed of by producers of the silent drama. Thousands and thousands of men and horses are seen. in the battle lines along the Rappahannock and before Peters buFg, the staging or the won derful spectacle requiring that whole townships be built only to be razed before the gripping struggle of the troops
 The treaty of peace at Appoma tox, in accurate detail after the best his torians and the assassination of Pres tdent Lincoln in Ford theatre, Ba1tt- more, form two wonderful scenes at the close of the first act.
 Act Two is devoted to those trying times of the Reconstruction Days z when a new rebellion that cost many lives broke out in the South. The struggle of the defeated South against the carpet-baggers and negro rule; the series of incidents that led to the form ation of the famous Ku KIux K1an; this invisible empires ultimate res toration of order by as harsh measures as the situation seemed to require; and, finally. the triumph of united nation, at peace with the world, is. in brief, the story of this concluding part of the spectacle.
 In staging. this production, MT. Gf4f- filth went beyond the widest dreams Of the wizards of the silent drama. The battle scenes and the operations of

Jimmy Britt and
 Young Corbett Celebrate Birthdays This Week

James Edward Britt and William H. 5Rothwe1l. who used to be known in our set as Jimmy Britt and Young Cor bett, will have birthday parties this week. Rothwen was born in Denver,
 October 4, 1880, and will be 35 today, while Britt will be 36 tomorrow. For several years past Jimmy has been nulIinas a ssrefined monolouge'' stunt on the two-a-day stages of America, Flu rope and Australia, and has got away with in good style. The conqueror of
 Terry McCovern has also tried to get kby with the theatrical stuff, but he hasn't been as sucesfu1 as his former enemy.
 Young Corbett hasn't yet entirely recovered from his grouch at Jimmy Britt which dates from the time he fought the native son in San Fran cisco, back in 1904. He had just knocked out Terry McGovern a sec ond time and had visions of gaining claimed by Britt on the allegation that Joe Cans had refused to make the weight.
 The Denver boy has always asserted that he was offered $100, 900 to throw the fight, but that he rejected the proposition with scorn, telling his tempter to get out of his sight lest he expectorate in his optic, or words to that effect There was quite a seat tering of fans in the house when Britt and Young Corbett faced each other, with Eddie Graney as third man. In fact, there were about 31, GOO bugs pres ent-about as many as witnessed the recent McF'arland-G Gibbons dance in
