SCHOOL OFFICERS
EYINCB INTEREST
LARGE NUMBER ATTEND COUN-
TY MEETING HELD AT
SPRINGFIELD
LISTEN TO TALK ON CONSOLE
DATIoN IN LIE SUE UR co.
SCHOOLS

Avery successful meeting of the school
officers of the County was held at the
auditorium of the Springfield High
School building last Thursday after
noon, June 29th. These meetings are
held once year for the purpose of getting
the school officers together and discuss
ing matters which are of special interest
to all concerned. Attic the meetings
are arranged for the special benefit of
the school officers from the rural dis
tricts, still the officers from the city dis
tricts are not only welcome but are
entitled to the same emoluments that
the others receive, which by the way
are $500 per day and mileage at the
rate of cents per mile. There were 144
school officers present all told. OF these
but small number were from the city
or. village schools. The board of edu-
cation from Springfield attended in a
body, there was one from Sleepy Eye
and two from Hanska. New Ulm was
not represented at all. The meeting
was called to order by Co. Supt. R. B.
Kennedy, who presided during the entire
deliberations. The first speaker was C.
K. Knox, Supt. of the Cleveland
Consolidated Schools in LIE Sueur Co.
near St. Peter. He spoke on consolida-
ton and it's working principle and touch
ed upon all advantages that are reaped
from consolidated school. He also
spoke about the transportation, matters
of taxation and how this system is work.
ing out. He also touched upon the
general complaints that are usually
made in most of the consolidated schools
Hntiis the system has had a chance to
adjust itself to existing conditions. Mr..
Knox is an enthusiast for the CONSOLE
dated schools and his talk was very
closely listened to by all present. After
his talk there was short recess. After
reconvening the questions that had been
placed in the question box were taken
up and were answered by State Supt.
c. G. Schulz. 1t was interesting to note
that the number of questions asked was
greater than ever before and that they
were more to the point and covered live
questions. After the question box had
been disposed of, Supt. Schulz gave a
general talk on the duties of school
officers and pointed out how the board
can by cooperating with the teacher
and also by cooperating with one
other do great deal toward improving
school conditions in the rural districts
especially. When it is considered that
only about one hundred were absent
of those who could have attended the
meeting and by rights should have
been there, it must be admitted that
the attendance was very satisfactory.

CELEBRATING PROPERLY.

One Fourth of July confagration was
reported for New Ulm. Some one threw
a particularly festive firecracker onto
the awning of the T. Mueller cigar store
on North Minnesota street. No, they
did not call out the fire department.
There wasn't time before the awning was
but memory. It has been so very
dry in New Ulm this spring.

YOUNG MOTHER IS
BURNED TO DEATH
MRS. dinner WARNER DIES
FROM INJURIES SUSTAINED
IN EXPLOSION
WAS A DAUGHTER OF HENRY
SEIFERT OF NEW ULM.-LIVED
AT CANDY

One OF the most plCl1ul, most Qread1ul
of fates befell Mrs. Dinner Warner
of Candy, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Seifert of this city, Monday
when she lost her life thru an explosion
which followed the use of gasoline as a
dry cleaning agent. Mrs. Warner was
so terribly burned that she died few
hours after the accident occurred and
all her friends were shocked beyond
expression at the awful news that came
by telephone during the afternoon.
Her sufferings we're SO great that death
was indeed a relief from the torture
which could not be ended otherwise.
Mrs. Werner was cleaning with the
gasoline in the basement of the house
during the early afternoon. After finish
ing the dry cleaning she wished to start
the electric washer and inserted the
plug in the light socket. On the instant
a spark leaped forth and the room was
filled with fierce, hungry flames that
spared nothing. The unfortunate young
\ "OA1lol S1OtI11lS was 4u1CS COISU1IlcO
and the pitiless flames scared her flesh
until she cried out in terrible fright and
agony. A man working in the second
story of house next door heard the
explosion and Mrs. Warmers cries and
leaped thru window to the ground and
rushed to her rescue but too late altho
he stopped not for doors but broke in
the basement window in his efforts to
save her. He carried her out and the
fire department took care of the flames.
Every medical assistance possible was
called but the shock and the injuries
were too great for the slight body and
at $50 in the afternoon she passed
away, Inconsistencies having relieved
her sufferings about half an hour before
she died.
Mrs. Warner was born Elsa Seifert
at New Ulm April 21st, 1891. She
spent her childhood days here, attended
the local parochial and public schools
and was graduated from the High School.
! She was a very bright young girl and one
of the most beautiful that ever called
New Ulm her native place. She went
to Minneapolis to study nursing and
while at the City Hospital where she
completed her course she met DR.. Dinner
Warner, then. an inferno of the Hos
pital. They were married November
22nd, 1912, and settled at Candy where
they have since lived. One little daugh-
ter, Donna Marie, now ten months old,
completed the family circle. Mrs. War
ner had many friends wherever she went,
all of whom will grieve sincerely with
and for the stricken relatives. Besides
her husband and child she leaves her
parents and three brothers, Drs. O. J.
and A. V. Seivert, Leo Seifert and one
sister, Myra, besides numerous other
relatives residing in New Ulm.
When the telephone brought the
terrible news, her parents and DR.. A.
V. Seifert Immediately left by auto to 60
to Candy. DR.. o. J. Seifert~ and John
Forster went on the next train and the
body was brought back to New Ulm for
burial. Services will be held Thursday
morning. from Holy Trinity church.
