"Miss Columbia" and the United States
coat of arms covered his left arm and
on his chest was a large cross. The

the field the day previous.
ALT. Baltrusch, the present constable
was reelected and Mountaineering was
the other successful candidate.
The vote came in very slow during the
day. Up to noon the Third ward was
the only one to muster more than hum
dred voters. From that time on the
vote dribbled along until shortly after
6 o'clock when the workingmen began
ing in before going to supper. q
T. At 4 O'clock the First ward had cast
about 200 ballots; the Second ward less
than $50 and the Third ward over 800,
so that at that hour only about one-half of
the total registration of the city had been
recorded as voting.
The saloon men enjoyed the second
enforced holiday within thirty days, the
last one having been at the time of the
presidential preference primary on
March 18th. It had been the custom in
former years to open the saloons as soon
as the polls were closed, but of late the
lid has been put on this practice, and
yesterday was no exception in this re.

reported by the police.
The Second Regiment band was right
on the job early in the evening, shortly
after the close, of the polls and began
calling at the residences of the several
successful candidates for the purpose of
serenading them. Their music was ap-
preclated by the winners, who in most
instances responded with short speeches
and passed out the cigars to the boys.
o. account of the room at the Opera
House usually used for polling purposes
now being occupied, the booths for the
Second ward had to be erected at the
police station, but as there was no con-
test in that ward for aldermanic honors
there was no crowding.
Several complaints were made about
che location of the polling place in the
First ward at the court house, especially
by the older people who were forced to
walk up the hill and then go up several
flights of stairs before they could vote.
The court house is situated in the extreme
northwest corner of the ward and it is
thought that a more centrally located
place should be secured either on Broad
way or Minnesota street. One of the
suggestions was to locate the booths in
one OF the saloons, as the latter are closed
on election days.

FARMERS TEAMS IN SMASH-UP.

A smashup occurred Monday noon
shortly before o'clock on the corner of
Minnesota and Fifth South street, when
team driven by Alois Brey of Cotton
wood was scared by the approach of an
automobile, became unmanageable and
swerved to one side so that the side of
the wagon smashed into the rig driven
by George Polta, an employee of Schell's
brewery. One of the buggy wheels was
torn off and Polta was thrown to the
ground. He sustained severe cut over
the left eye and was bleeding profusely
when taken to a local doctors office.
1t proved to be nothing serious, however,
and Polta will not be laid up.

CALENDAR DRIVES
MAN TO INSANITY
PROBLEM OF LEAP YEAR BIRTH
DAY ANNIVERSARY DERANC-
ES MIND.
CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHEN THE.
DAY SHOULD PROPERLY BE
OBSERVED,

One OF the queerest as we'll as one of
the saddest cases ever brought to the
attention OF the authorities IN this part
of the state if not in the country is that
of young man recently committed to
the hospital for the insane at St. Peter
from the Nicollet county probate court.
He went insane over the problem of
figuring out the date of his mothers
birthday.
The mother was born on Feb. 20, 1886.
consequently would be eighty years old
this year, but the son claimed that her
birthday anniversary could not recur
on the 18th of February this year because
her second birthday anniversary had
fallen on March 1, her third on March
z and so on, until this year there would
be discrepancy of about two months
between the calendar and the way he
figured it out.
1t is said that the young man was so
wrought up over the problem that he
sat up for several nights in succession
trying to bring calendar of his own up
to date and he had almost succeeded in
making the figures look tangible, when
suddenly he was confronted by another
problem, which knocked all his figures
and calculations galley-west. He found
that the calendar did not add the extra
day to February in 1900, because &C.
cording to the Gregorian calendar only
such centesimal years as are divisible by
400 can be regarded as leap years, and
have the extra day added to the second
month of the year.
When he struck this his mind apparent
ly snapped and he became irrational in
his actions towards his relatives and at
times so violent that he had to be
forcibly restrained from doing himself
and others bodily harm. When it was
seen that his condition was fast be-
coming dangerous he was brought to
one of the local hospitals for treatment
and observation.
He was kept in the hospital several
days and when it was found that he did
not respond to the treatment and his
condition did not change for the better,
1T was decided to take the unfortunate
young man to St. Peter before the Judge
OF probate for examination. He went
along willingly enough, but convinced the
Judge that the hospital for the insane
would be the proper place for him in
order to effect cure. He was according
ly committed.

SHREWD FARMHAND
OFF ON VACATION
SOLD EMPLOYERS PORKERS TO
REPLENISH SHORTAGE OF
LONG GREEN.
BOARDS TRAIN AND AUTHORI-
TIES FAIL TO FIND TRACE
OF HIM.

SIS 81 .. q II z7-zz.
1t is not always correct to say that
farm hand is slow-witted or dense Just
because he happens to be working out
in the country, as was conclusively
proven by one John Mills who has been
working on one of Ed. Berkner's farms
in the vicinity of Golden. Last week he
came to the conclusion that vacation
trip would be just the thing for his health,
but as he was short of the necessary long
green he had about given up the idea,
when one of the porkers in the yard gave
friendly grunt and solved the problem
for him. Sure thing, few of these hogs
would be just the right size to give him
pocket money for the trip.
Last Saturday he put his plans into
execution. He took one of the teams,
hitched it to the wagon with the hog
rack and then helped himself to five of
the choicest porkers on the place. He
took them to Golden and sold them to
Tom Peterson, stock buyer. The pro-
position looked better than ever to John
after that and after leaving the team in
one of tie village barns he boarded tie
afternoon passenger train for the east.
The residents of the peaceful village of
Golden thought nothing of Johns visit
or sale, because, according to Julius
Krause, there are more hogs in that
vicinity than in any other part of the
county, but towards evening Ed. Berk-
ner got wind of the affair and he started
an investigation of the sale and inquiry
into what had become of his farm hand.
He found both rumors to be facts. The
hogs had been sold and the farm hand had
disappeared.
Sheriff Julius was at once notified and
he in turn sent out description to the
surrounding towns, asking the police
authorities to arrest the man and hold
him until an officer could be sent to bring
him back to New Ulm for hearing.
The description of the man wanted
also is interesting. It reads something
like this: Red-faced Irishman, answers
to name of John Mills, stoop-shouldered,
no whiskers, three or four front teeth
missing, weighs 100 to ITO pounds, wore
cravenette coat and gray suit, quite a
tobacco chewer and talkative when in
his cups.
According to the officers the hogs were
worth from $3.50 to $500, but it is not
believed that the stockbuyer paid Mills
anywhere near that amount.
Acquaintance of Mills say that he has
had the plan of getting out of the country
under consideration for some time, as
he has said on several occasions that he
intended to go to Canada and there
enlist in the British army. He was
short of money, however, and never
could carry out his plans until he struck
the hog lifting idea:

RUMANIA CASTS THE DIE

LNYENTS are rushing to a decision.
II More important than all the CEN
sored news and all the special articles
and all the criticisms of experts as a
verdict on the situation is the decision
of Rumania. Others may think that vic
tory is about to alight on this side OF the
other, but Rumania knows. She has
waited patiently until her vision could
be clear, just as she did in the Balkan
wars of few years ago, but she has
not waited too long TO be assured OF the
realization OF her national ambitions in
the final remaking of the maps
The decision of Rumania is a solemn
notification to the world that in the opin.
ion Of that cunning nation the die is cast
and the opportunity for a Hohenzollern
triumph definitely passed.
In a material way the entrance OF
Rumania into the war Is also OF the
greatest Importance. 1t not only threat
ems on both sides the Teuton lines of
communication with Turkey. but it opens

Our virile and enterprising elder
brother, the PUBLIC LEDGER, announces
$4,000 in prizes for the best editorials on
"why Mr.. Hughes Should Be Elected"
and why Woodrow Wilson Should Be
Reelected" The contributions are likely
TO be of the highest class, as the contest
is open to professional writers, and we
have no doubt that the winning edi
torials will be considered throughout the
country as authoritative analyses of the
situation from each point of view. The
campaign is doubtless the most impor-
tant waged since the first election of
Abraham Lincoln, and the PUBLIC LEDGER
is performing a real public service in
thus enrolling the best brains Of the
nation to elucidate and present in strik-
ing form the great issues on which the
electorate is TO pass.
