The Sioux City Journal is afraid
that if all the Iowa bootleggers are
sent to the penitentlaries we may
soon need new buildings, but the &C.
dar Rapids Republican assures the
Sioux City paper that I'VE do not
fear that in the least. After a few
more have been sent, the rest Will
take the warning and go to work at
something more decent and honest
instead of running the risks involved
in that business.

We have heard it rumored locally
that two good democrats who are
seeking appointment as king of the
cannibal island, and snow inspector
in Mexico are urging that the name of
Nick Reed be written on the ballots
at the presidential primary and voted
for as national committeeman. NO
doubt they realize that should NICK
r, ceive this honor their appointments
would be certain, while If they voted
for any other man-their appoint
ments would only be problematlcal,
depending upon the caprice Of the es-
Unable Nick.-Osceola Democrat.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1916-03-30

Why not Nick Reed for national
committeeman? Nick has been the
alto, soprano, tenor and bass of the
state organizations political choir
while Reynolds and Marsh have been
merely "holding down Seats The
present war is big inducement to
economy-so why not elect Nick for
national committeeman, and do away
with the "seat warmers ?"-Osceola
Democrat.

DRUNK ATTACKS TRAIN CREW

Conductor "Dick" Reinhart and some
of the other members of the crew of the
Minneapolis & St. Louis passenger train
from Minneapolis last Saturday night,
had an exciting experience at Klossner,
six miles north of New Ulm.
A man, considerably under the in
huence of liquor, boarded the train at
Winthrop, after the agent at that
station had refused to sell him ticket.
He was forced to take a seat inside the
train when the brakeman found him
lurching about on the platform and this
angered him. While the train was
standing at the Klossner station and the
conductor was assisting lady passenger
to alight, the man approached Mr.. Rein
hart from behind and landed him
singing blow with a whiskey bottle
The conductor was staggered for a
moment, but Immediately recovered and
struck at the fellow with his lantern.
The man ran toward the front end of the
train where he was intercepted by
Baggageman Shorty Eglund and given
a knockout" left-hander.
When the train pulled out the pugilistic
passenger was nicely curled up on the
railway right-of-way.

Review that the Mankato Club has
completed marking the Black and yell
low Trail between New Ulm and James,
vile, a distance of At miles in ALL Mr..
Soaring says the road is marked all the
way across the state save for a short
distance west of New Ulm and another
short stretch east Of GAINESVILLE which
Mankato is looking after and he asked
that the New Ulm Commercial Club
get busy and look after the unmarked
bit at this end. He says further that
tourists will invariably leave an I'M
marked trail and follow the marked
route and it means business for a city
to have its avenues of approach clearly
indicated. Here is work for the CON-
mercial Club right at hand to be done
Immediately and the subject merits
the attention OF the first meeting of the
club which will be held this evening.

PATENTS AEROPLANE stab.
LIZER.

Last week Matthias Herbeck Of this
city received from his son Joseph who
is now resident Of Los Angeles, Cal.
copy Of letters patent which were
granted his son Joseph, April 4th this
year for stabilizer. In the letters
patent it states that the invention relates
to gravity stabilizers for use upon
aeroplanes or the like and the primary
object OF the invention is to provide
a pendantIy-hung, gravity-actuated
weight which is connected with a
stabilizing plane or wing of an aeroplane
at the center of gravity for equalizing
the motion of gravity and stabi.izing the
wing or plane and the aeroplane. An
other object of this invention is to pro-
vide a abilizer which includes weight
pendantly hung from receivable hollow
sphere, which sphere is connected direct
ly to stabilizing wing or plane of an
aeroplane and is supported by shell
to permit OF the swinging movement Of
the weight. The old gentleman is
pleased that his on has become an in
ventor, altho he is as much at sea what
the invention patented by his son really
means as perhaps SO per cent of the
readers of the Review will be. Joseph
Herbeck, the inventor, left home about
twenty years ago. He learned the
bakers trade at the John Dengler bakery
and may be remembered by quite a
number of our citizens.

kind"

ing on August "a. The amount of the
settlement includes physicians fees and
hospital charges.
The accident in which the Polta chill
dren were injured, Review readers will
remember, was caused when the two
boys, accompanied by a slightly older
brother, were crossing the railway track
and were run down by freight car be-
ing shunted across the street crossing.
While Clarence sustained only minor
injuries John was so badly hurt that
his right leg had to be amputated.
A settlement of the claim was made
by an attorney for the railroad company,
who was here last week. A. W. Mueller
was attorney for the plaintiff.
The settlement must be approved by
by Judge I. M. Olsen, and an approved
bond filed by Mr.. Polta, to insure the
safe keeping of the money for the
children before the n oney can be turned
over to the father.

Miss Elizabeth Spencer, the popular
mezzo-soprano, will be heard at Turner
Theatre next Tuesday evening when she
will be introduced by our Mayor, DR.. L.
A. Fritsche.
The affair will be a private hearing to
which some of the music lovers of New
Ulm have received special cards of intro
duction.
Miss Spencer received her musical
education in Europe. When she re-
turned to this country, her remarkable
voice and thorough training Immediately
attracted attention and her professional
career has been one of great activity and
success.
1t is regrettable that the Turner
Theatre on such an occasion as this one
is far too small to accommodate the vast
audience to include both young and old
AS there is room for just certain mum.
Der, it will be impossible to accommodate
any children, babies as we'll. The con
cert is given exclusively for grown
people, and to afford sufficient room
and good order, it has been deemed
necessary by the recital management
to admit only persons over a certain
age limit and who present cards of intro
duction. To those interested, additional
cards of introduction, as long as &C
cancellations remain, may be had b!
