pralrleS, III Cne mountains, and out on the
desert, ready to splice the wires in case
they were torn down by sleet or wind, to
solder break or replace an insulator
broken by storm or mischievous boy.
Like soldiers on picket duty, these repair
men will be kept on constant vigil, night
and day, in good weather and in bad, for
it is advertised that this line is soon to be
opened to the public for constant use.
It is understood that when the line is
opened to the public the rate will be
about $21.0O for a three minute talk
from New York to San Francisco.
The opening Of the new transcontinen-
tai line will not only be distinguished
because of the talk of DR.. Bell and Mr..
Watson, but because that day, for the
first time in history, the voice of the chief
magistrate of the nation was carried
direct from the seat of government in
Washington to the shores of the Pacific
ocean. That day President Wilson
talked to San Francisco, sending his con-
CALCULATIONS to the 100000 men and
woman in the telephone industry who
made this achievement possible.
President Vail was not in New York
when the celebration took place, so he
was called up at his hotel on the southern
coast of Florida, one thousand miles be-
low Manhattan, from where he talked
over line 44OO miles in length to
Thomas A. Watson in San Francisco.

Prisoner Goes
To Saltwater
TRAVELLING SALESMAN PASSES
WORTHLESS CHECK ON NEW
YORK BANK.
PLEADS GUILTY AND is GIVEN
STATES PRISON SENTENCE
BY JUDGE.

Following plea Of guilty before Judge
Olsen in chambers Monday, Henry
Geischen was sentenced to the State
Prison at Saltwater for term not ex-
ceeding one year for drawing and
passing a worthless check in the sum of
$50. Geischen was a travelling sales
man for cigar firm located in Bing-
hampton, N. Y.
The offense for which Geischen was
convicted and sentenced was COM
mitted at Redwood Falls in November,
1914. At that time he persuaded T. E.
McAllister of the Kahler House to cash
a $50 check for him, drawn on bank in
New York. The check proved worthless
and steps were Immediately taken to
apprehend Geischen. He was located in
Chicago and brought back to Redwood
Falls and lodged in the County Jail where
he has been ever since. Several days
ago he expressed desire to be brought
before Judge Olsen so that he might plead
guilty to the offense of passing worth
less check and Monday Judge Olsen
held special session of the Redwood
County District Court at his Chambers
in this city.
Clerk of Court w. G. Weldon was
present, as was also County Attorney
Albert Emerson of Redwood. The
prisoner was brought here by Sheriff
Frank Hassenstab. Atty. A. c. Dollif
appeared for the accused. When ques-
toned by Judge Olsen Geischen admitted
passing the check. He stated that he
had come to this country from Germany
five years ago but refused to divulge the
name of his parents. It appeared that
Geischen had passed several other worth
less checks before he passed the one at
Redwood Falls. No doubt he will be
arrested for these offenses as soon as he
will be discharged from prison. Sheriff
Hassenstab took Geischen to Saltwater
Tuesday morning.

"WETS" AND 'DRYS" PREPARE
FOR FRAY.

License or no license will be the issue
in many elections to be held in villages
and cities of Minnesota on the End day
of March. The ''wets' in St. Peter
are going to make an attempt to wrest
this city from the dry column. St.
Peter went dry at the last election when
the question of license or no license
was submitted to the voters for the first
time. Springfield which went wet
by a vote of 232 to 1T will also
grapple with this question again. In
Fairfax, Franklin and Gibbon this
question will be voted on. Gibbon
votes on this question for the time in
its history and no one seems to have any
idea as to the strength of either side.

NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK OF
THAT?

sThirty-seven sacks Of mail order cata-
logues, having a total weight OF $500
pounds, were received at the New Ulm
postoffice last Tuesday evening. The
consignment was sent here from St. Paul,
the mail order concerns having found
clever way in which to evade Uncle
Sans postal laws. Under the regular
rates of postage it would cost them %
cents to mail catalogue from Chicago
to New Ulm, but from St. Paul the rate
is only cents. The cat houses save the
difference by shipping their literature by
freight to St. Paul, shipments being made
in carload lots.

Hughes Flyer"
Sticks in Snow
RAILROAD TRAFFIC is DEMORA-
LIED BY RAIN AND SNOW
STORM.
ALL TRAINS WEST OF HURON
CUT OFF. MANY WIRES
BROKEN BY ICE.

Train service on both the North
western and M. & St. L. was quite badly
demoralized Sunday and Monday. The
weather conditions caused belated trains
on every schedule. Friday evening the
rain began and continued all day Satur-
day, later in the evening changing to
snow. 1t showed also Sunday and high
wind from the northwest drove the snow
into railroad cuts and formed huge snow
banks. The '''stub" train was buried
in one such snow drift for nearly "a
hours.
About one mile this side of Traverse
the train on its way to New Ulm from
Mankato ran into big snow drift Sun
day and was stalled. There is a badscut
at that point and it was necessary tosend
rotary engine down from New Ulm to
dig Conductor Hughes and his train out.
They did not reach their destination
until late Monday afternoon.
Severe storms ragged in South Dakota.
About an inch of ice accumulated on
telegraph wires and many OF the lines
went down. Instead of starting from
Rapid City, Mondays train started from
Huron, S. D., because everything west
of Huron was so badly blockaded that no
train could get thru. Even then the
train was some four hours late when it
reached New Ulm. The traffic on the
main line east of the city was not de-
layed very much, the storm having cyl
IDENTIFY spent its force west of us.
The noon train Monday on the M. &
st. L. from the north was four hours late
and the one from the south, bound for
the Twin Cities was fully hours late.
All of these delays were caused by the
filling up of cuts. There was heavy
precipitation in Iowa and this interfered
a great deal with the movement of trains
to the Twin Cities. The heavy SHOWS
and the storms evidently did not extend
to the northern part of Minnesota, be
cause, according to w. S. Chadwick of
the Great Northern Railway, traffic on
their line was not affected at all.

WHO is GUST KRAUsE?

Sheriff August Olson of Nicollet
County received a message. from the
authorities at Casper, Wyoming, yes
terday morning asking for information
as to the relatives of Gust Krause.
The message was signed by w. J. Cham
berland, coroner, and it is assumed
that Krause met sudden death. Sher-
riff Olson has been unable to obtain
any information concerning a man of
that name, but it is possible that he
may have relatives in Nicollet County.

Dozen varieties IN mis- country
That Need Attention.
There are about Il dozen trees grow

tirely or partly for medicines. On ac-
count of the enormous quantities re-

have to be planted to meet the demand

suffer from the lack of 1iecessa4 4.lrugs
The presence of hydrocyanic acid in
the thin inner bark of the wild cherry
and its tonic and sedative properties
make the tree valuable. 1t is gathered
In the fall, and a fresh supply is re-
quired each year, as it loses strength
If kept too long.
Witch hazel plays a prominent part
in the medicine chest Of every house

facture many thousands of dollars in
invested capital. The Indian knew of
its healing properties long before the
white man came.
The New England farmers find the
witch hazel crop one of much value
and regular source of income. The
brush Is taken to the local distillery,
where the essential properties are eX-
tracted. While it is usually classified
as a shrub, it has been known to grow
to the height of twenty-five feet 1t
also has the popularity of blooming

to the height of from forty to seventy
feet, with a trunk two and one-half
feet thick. The outer bark is shaved
off and the inner one removed and
dried under pressure in order to keep

for it's small proportion of weight to

kinds and degrees of usefulness. The
tamarack and the aspen, both of them
esteemed as tonics; the white willow,

used for rheumatism; the butternut,
whose bark serves as a tonic and a
mild cathartic; sweet birch, best known
as the principal ingredient in birch |

The First Fires.

Speaking Of wonderful inventions, the
overshadower of Edison is the manor
woman-who invented fire. Our prehis-
toric ancestors doubtless were famil-
and lava eruptions. But how did they
ever get the idea that they could imi-
tate the effects of lightning by rubbing
two sticks against each other? 1t has
been observed in recent years that in
branches sometimes are whipped by
the wind against each other until they
burst into flame. That probably was
where the fire inventor got his idea
