people think and want.
That laboring men and some who
do not work only when necessity
compels them to are more thrifty
than in former years is indicated
by the fact that during the extreme
ly cold weather of this week
only one man applied at police head
quarters for a nights shelter in Jail.
Ralph K. Douglas, of F. w. Dodge
Co.. Minneapolis, who makes a spe-
cialty of construction reports, today

struction in Lake county.
The funeral was held at st. Thorn
as Catholic church this morning of
Lucy, the young wife of Francis
Handorf. The service was conduct
ed by Rev. T. A. Flynn. There were
a large number of friends at the
service, some coming from outside
the city. Many beautiful floral trib-
utes attested to the esteem In which
the young lady was held in the COM
munity.
More and more people the country
over are learning the advantages OF
early holiday shopping, 1t is showr
by the number Of Christmas parcels
that are arriving in the city and are
being sept away by parcel post anC
express. While Christmas shipping
by parcel post has not yet reached
the apex, the number of packages
being handled by the forwarding de
partmepts are we'll above the aver
age.

STRIKE IN WALES

London, Sept. 1.-THE situation In
the railway world arising out of the
demands of the men for an increase
in wages of ten shillings a week has
become increasingly serious.
At meeting of 5000 railway work
ers at Cardiff a resolution was adopt
ed providing that unless the demands
are conceded by Sept 16 all railway
work will be stopped in South Wales
at midnight the 18th.
The resolution also stated that the
advance in wages should date from
July 1 and that the government should
give a definite guarantee that in the
future it will control the supply of
food and regulate prices.
Judging from the governments at
titude hitherto there is little likeli-
hood that it will yield to such de-
mand.
Should the railway workers in the
other parts of the country endorse tho
action of the South Wales men there
is danger of general railway strike.
The leaders of the men are working
hard to obtain an agreement without
calling strike which would be re-
garded as taking an unfair advantage
OF the nation in time of adversely.

STOLEN AUTO SEEN HERE

Local policemen are on the look out
for automobile which was stolen at
Mankato, Thursday evening. The
theft was made between the hours of
eight and ten and the description of the
car is as follows:
Buick 1915, model C-55, six cylinder,
frame No. 120576, motor No. 12O954,
license No. 229. There is monogram
on the back door, "F. w. H. The
hind tires were hobby tread; one of the
front tires was a hobby tread worn
smooth; the other front tire was smooth.
The car is equipped with a bumper
which was bent on the right hand side.
1t appears that the car passed through
New Ulm sometime Thursday evening
and was last seen at Sleepy Eye headed
toward Fairfax. The latest supposition
is that they were on their way to the
Twin Cities.

BIG CIRCUS is REALLY GOOD

Holding two large audiences spell
bound for several hours, by feats of
daring, the Carl Hagenbeck- Wallace
circus, one of the best in the business,
gave two performances on the city lots
naer the ball park, Friday
Thrills were aplenty as the animal
trainers, bareback riders, trapeze artists,
ballancers, aerial performers and the like
displayed their skill. In fact the circus
has one of the best aggregations ever
assembled and cannot be surpassed by
any of the larger shows.
The parade was witnessed by thous-
ands of persons from all parts of Brown
county who awaited themselves of the
opportunity of seeing the show. Many
also arose at an early hour in order to see
the work of unloading the wagons and
animals and the erection of the tented
city. It is hoped that the management
will remember New Ulm and return to
show here again at some future date.

AN OBSTREPEROUS OFFICER

They are having lively times up in
Lincoln county. For the second time
within few months the sheriff has
locked the records in the county Jail
owing to dispute between the COM
missioners and the sheriff and business
has been suspended.
Lincoln County has no court house
and for some time has been using the
jail and sheriff's residence for a capitol
building. A few months ago the com
missioners started things when they
refused to pay the salary of the jailer
except when there were prisoners in the
strong box. AS retaliation, Sheriff
Curtis demanded possession of the
building for residential purposes. Upon
refusal of the commissioners to comply
with the sheriff's demands the case was
taken to the district court and the
sheriff lost out.
During the month of July Mr.. Curtis
demanded possession of the jail corridors
for the use of his prisoners. No heed
was paid to the demand and soon the
clerk of court and the register of deeds
found their Office doors locked. A
hearing was held before Judge Olsen
who ordered the doors opened.
The latest developments of the case
are that the sheriff has taken out bonds
and has appealed both cases to the
supreme court.
