as token of their appreciation for the

their race, has been received at Nash

Please express the pleasure that I

The refusal of congress to provide
for additional Negro regiments IN the
enlarged army has received a rebuke
from Governor Whitman Of New York.
He has authorized the enlistment or
a colored regiment Of the National
Guard of the Empire State. and the
heartening part of 1t is that, where
as four years ago similar PROPOSE
ton was strongly opposed by the
guardsmen, they support the COVER
nor's action today.
The Negroes, according to the New
York Press, promise that their regi-
ment will be recruited with expedition
and that their soldiery will speedily
prove itself worthy OF comparison
with the whites In loyalty. discipline,
alertness and endurance"
We pointed out. the other day. that
the colored troops now In Mexico were
demonstrating jhst that; indeed. that
they were among the best American
fighting stock south Of the Rio Grande.
OF course this is nothing new. The
record of the Negro soldiery in the
Civil war, when 10000 fought to pre-
serve the Union, was splendid In ev-
cry respect. So was its record In our
war with Spain. In short. the Negro
has won the right through sacrifice
and efficiency to be considered an
active part of our national defense.

MADELlA MAN IN GREAT LUCK

Arthur Lindsey, manager of the
Madelia Ice company, is in fair way to
come into a nice fortune as the result
of a chance deal nine years ago. He
disclaims any particular acumen in
making the deal at that time regarding
it as a favorable transaction only because
it released him from a disagreeable
situation.
The deal referred to was a trade in
which he exchanged livery barn he was
conducting at Willard for half section
of land in Lake county, situated about
40 miles from Duluth. So anxious was
he to dispose Of the livery business that
when the party who owned the land
offered to trade it for the barn and stock,
Mr.. Lindsey never took the trouble to go
and see what he was trading for.
Subsequently man offered him SIG
an acre for it and he was inclined to let
it 60 at that figure, but before conserving
to sell he went and looked it over. 1t
looked pretty good as agricultural land
and, not being in pressing need of money,
he declined the offer and decided to hold
it as possible asset for the future. At
no time did he regard the land as any
thing more than farm.
Later various companies began
prospecting through that part Of the
state in search of iron ore and presently
it was discovered that there was iron
ore on the Lindsey property. Then he
bethought himself to look up the deed
to see whether there was any exemption
in it of any mineral rights. There were
none, so he was secure in the possession
OF whatever mineral wealth might be
disclosed upon the place.
A couple of months ago mining man
was down from Duluth and made him
an offer of $4,000 for the land and
$4,000 for the mineral right. This
looked good to the owner Of the land
but he had been keeping in touch with
the situation and had been informed by
a friend of his who had owned a piece
OF land adjoining his that it was matter
OF common report in that district that
the Lindsey land had shown up the best
OF any in that neighborhood in the pros

While moving his threshing rig from
one place to another last week Robert
Remnant had the misfortune while
passing over narrow strip of road to
land in the ditch with his outfit. Altho
it did not damage the machine several
men had to work day and night to get
it out of the ditch. The accident
happened about one mile from Klossner.
Last Sunday the Friedens church had
it's Mission Festival. Church services
were held at the local church at 10

VIM. Muesing, Sr. and son, Walter,
spent the week end in the Cities visiting

a number of the wholesale grocers.
A party of New Ulm young people
consisting of John Christoverson, Ferdi-
nand Ochs, Emanuel Manderfeld, Flea
nor Falk and Teckla Eibner drove over
to Madelia one day last week.
Oscar Sandau, Elmer Tape, George

George and Edwin returned the same

early Monday morning.
VIM. Rauschke and wife left Monday

brother of Fred Meyer of New Ulm who
also attended the funeral.
Frank Guggisberg a farmer residing
near Klossner is also becoming a speed

pecting that had been done. So he
decided to hold onto it for while.
Mr.. Lindsey has received notice that
big corporation is now in process of
formation which will operate in a large
way in mining in the district where his
land is located and that when the incor-
poration is complete they will make him
an adequate offer for his holdings there.
So he has further reason for delaying
negotiations for sale.
Following an interview with an at
torney in Minneapolis who makes a
speciality of handling mineral lands, he
decided that he might dispose Of the land
at favorable price but he is satisfied
that the mineral rights are much more
valuable than any tender that has yet
been made would indicate and he will
reserve those rights until he gets an offer
that he believes commensurate with
their value.
Mr.. Lindsey, however, prefers an
adjustment on royalty basis, and it
will probably require fat offer to cause
him to let go of the mineral rights on a
fiat sale.
Every one who knows Mr.. Lindsey
will be pleased to learn of his bright
prospects for securing this fine wind
fall. He is a Woodworking man and
this comes at time in his life when it
will be thoroughly appreciated. -
