CONSOLIDATION OF TWO GER.
MAN NEWSPAPERS.

The sale of the Fortschritt printing
plant which has been hanging fire for the
past month or more, was closed yester-
day morning and Capt. Alb. Steinhauser
is now the sole proprietor of that news
papers property, including the subscrip-
ton list and other appurtenances.
Mr.. Steinhauser has consolidated the
two German newspapers Post and
Fortschritt and will publish them from
the former Fortschritt Office at sos
Center street, under the heading of the
New Ulm Post, the oldest newspaper in
Brown county and this section of the
state.
This is the second elimination of a
newspaper in this city undertaken by
Mr.. Steinhauser, the other being that
of the New Ulm News some years ago.
He believes that the business men of the
city will appreciate his action as it
enables them to reach the readers of the
two publications through the one medium
the New Ulm Post. It will also enable
him to give his German readers better
news service than contained heretofore
in either the Post or Fortschritt.

R. G. Pickett, a clerk in the auditors
office is said to have committed the
forgery and in his confession he impli.
Gated the state treasurer as having par.

of Pickett's arrest, Smith was under the
care of a physician at sanatorium and
at first refused to listen to any suggestion
of his resigning the office. Pressure evil
IDENTIFY was brought to bear which resulted
in the desired resignation and the subse:
quent appointment Of Mr.. Gooding tc
the Office.
In presenting his resignation to the
governor, Treasurer Smith states that in
view of the fact that serious charges have
been made against him he deems it
better to relieve the governor and other
state officials of the embarrassment OF
having in Office person against whom a
serious charge has been made. He de.
clares that when the whole matter has
been thoroughly sifted and all his actions
and their circumstances have been
brought to light, the people and the
officials will take an entirely different
view of the matter. He says he feels
that the public has been prejudiced
against him by yelled statements con-
tanned in the Twin City papers.
A thorough examination of the books
OF the state treasurer is being made by
the public examiner, but no other irregu.
larities except those confessed to by

Vicious Measure Directed
Against Minnesota
TqUGne PL0nt

Il 0S"'oO SSv'oo
The bill recently introduced in Con.
gress, making it unlawful to sell prison
made Irvine in any state other than the
one in which it is manufactured is one
of the most vicious measures ever intro
duced in the national legislature at the
,behest of the international harvester
trust. Its intent is plainly the curtail-
ment, and if possible the eradication of
the Minnesota state prison plant at Still
water.
Minnesota's Irvine factory has been
a thorn in the hide of the harvester trust
from the beginning. 1t is the only
prison plant in the country which has
been able to compete with the trust by
manufacturing an article of as good grade
if not superior to that of the trust and at
the same time sell it to the farmer at a
price far below that formerly charged
10y the trust The Minnesota plant has
been the one thing which has stood in the
way of charging the farmers any price
the trust pleased and with it out of the
way or its output curtailed the price of
Irvine would go up by leaps and bounds.
We often hear during the harvest sea-
son the farmers complaining that prison
Irvine is no cheaper than the trust-made
article, but they should not for a moment
lose sight of the fact that the low price of
the prison Irvine is met by the trust and
not vice versa.
The measure now before Congress is
meant to curtail the sale of the product
of the Irvine factory. At present prison
Irvine is sold outside of the state only
after the Minnesota demands have been
supplied, but still this gives opportunity
to sell any surplus which accumulates
While an amendment to the bill to the
effect that only prison-made Irvine shall
be sold in states having prison factories
would ehectually kill the measure, bust
ness man and farmer alike should make
it point to write their representative in
Congress and urge him to vote and work
against the passage Of this bill.
