THE THIRSTY MAJORITY.

noWN in New York there is some alarm about the
progress which the prohibition movement has made
Heretofore the New Workers laughed merrly at predc
tons made by the dry leaders But the laugh is no,
audible right now, and there is scamperng to arms

Until more than one-half OF the area Of the United
States came under dry domination the New York liquor
Interests felt small But the situation today causes
the hosting of the distress signal
Unless national prohibition become, effective and the
manufacture OF liquor is stopped New York is likely 10 be
the last state to hold out against the attack of the prob
tion forces New York is not certain that national proh
btion will lose, so Is planning campaign along new
system Of maneuvers.
Tactful fellows who have been retained to keen New
York and any other territory possible in the perpetual we,
column are making the bold declaration that Will. the
voters of Kansas for instance voted the saloon on, of bust
ness, they did not and will vote to abolish social
drink in the home
The next claim made is tina, majority of men lik. a
drink either of mild beer Qr domestic wine or something
stronger and that majority of the male voters favor
closing saloons, bu, do not favor national prohibition
which will interfere with drink in the home
II Is along this line that the contest will he waped

COURTESY ON STREET CARS.

IF there be any place where courtesy put to
test, it is crowded streetcar. The holiday shopping
rush has developed extraordinary traffic and the ethics Of
the trolley are being somewhat shattered.

HELLMANN SELLS OUT

Early this week deal was completed
whereby Alfred Hellmann, proprietor
of the Model Drug Store, steps out and
hands over the business to Elmer Backer,
for the past three years a member of the
Model store force. Mr.. Hellmann has
been in the drug business for many years.
While Mr.. Olsen owned the store, Mr..
Hellmann was with him for more than
a quarter of a century and when Mr..
Olsen gave up the drug business to take
up active duties at the bank, Mr.. He'll
mann became proprietor of the Model.
That was two years ago. His successor
is a New Ulm young man who has
grown up here. He graduated three
years ago from the Marquette Univer-
sity of Milwaukee. Previous to that
time he was apprenticed to E. A. Pfeferle
of the Reliable Drug Store and since his
graduation he has been with Mr.. He'll
mann. He is bright young man and
with the six years experience he has had
should be able to make success of his
undertaking. The store will hereafter

WASHOUTS ON BOTH ROADS.

Much annoyance was caused Wednes-
day as result of the heavy rains of
Tuesday night. Both on the North
western and the M. & St. L. lines large
washouts occurred. On the st. Louis
the largest and most annoying was about
four miles south of the city near Searles
where the washout delayed the trains
to such an extent that it was thought
best to have the two trains Nos.a28 and
20 transfer their passengers and express
and return in the direction they had
come. The washout was cleared away
by 2 o'clock in the afternoon and the
trains were able to 60 on their way.
The trouble on the Northwestern line
happened near Cambria, where gravel
and sand was washed down the hill near
the track thus causing the tracks be-
come impossible. Men were Immediate
ly set to work but it took considerable
time to clear it away and it was close
to IL o'clock before the Tracy Rochester
Chicago special pulled in at the local
station.

MISSION FESTIVAL LARGELY
ATTENDED

Between 1000 and 1900 people con-
gregated at College Heights last Sun
day for the purpose of celebrating the
annual mission festival. Those pre-
sent were from New Ulm, Sleepy Eye
and other points of Brown County
and Fl. Ridgely, CORTLAND, Nicollet,
St. Peter and other points in Nicollet
County. The services began at 1920
in the morning and consisted of music
and singing and sermon appropriate
to the occasion in German by Rev. Adolf
Frey of Jordan. In the afternoon
Rev. F. Koehler of Nicollet spoke in
German and Rev. August Bartz of
Winthrop spoke in English. The pro-
gram proper was concluded shortly
after four o'clock. Music was fur
nished by the CORTLAND band assisted
by several New Ulm musicians. Prof.
FIR. Reuter- acted as leader for part Of
the afternoon.
A collection was taken for the home
and foreign missions and nearly $500
was contributed for that purpose. The
mission festival must be considered a
success in a spiritual, social and fnan-
cial way.
