Seward to Have U. s. Depositary.

In order to facilitate the handling of funds used in connection with the government railroad operations 8 agitation has been started ac Seward for the establishment of a govern ment depository there. It is reported that under the present system nearly $1.000,000 was paid out in Seward and Anchorage last summer to mer- chants and others who were unable to cash their checks promptly. The trouble was due to, the failure cf the government to make arran. ;ements with the Seward banks. The govern ment ofIicials demanded the usual in- terests on deposits, but as the banks had to pay $500 per thou and on coin shipped from the United States to Alaska, the banks contended that they lost by the transaction. In view of the fact that several million dol lars will probably be paid out there during the present year the govern ment is being urged to provide for the prompt payment of its cnecks.

Dog Attacks Fnr-Top Boots

Dog Attacks Fur-Top Boots.
 A Cleveland woman was walking down a street, wearing a pair of those new fur-top shoes. A dog saw the fur and made an energetic attack, divest- ing one of the shoes of it's trimming. All of which is interesting, for the dog may have thought that he recog- nized in that fur an old-time foe the neighbours cat. But even if he did, women who wear fur-trimmed shoes may feel sure that mice, wom- ans old enemy, will give them a wide berth.--Cleveland Press.

SESSION
SHORTEST ON RECORD

Minnesota soldiers now on the Mexican
border will be permitted to cast their
votes next Tuesday. The legislature in
extraordinary session last Saturday,
passed the necessary measure. The
house was in session five hours and thirty
two minutes, while it required the senate
six hours and two minutes to complete
it's work.
Besides adopting the law enfranchising
the boys to vote, an appropriation Of
$11 900 was authorized. 1t cost $4,000
for the special session and the other
$4,000 will be used in conducting the
election in Texas.
The services of six commissioners will
be required to take the vote. They will
60 to Texas for that purpose. The
Secretary of States Office will be repre-
sented by Assistant Secretary James A.
Larson. The Governor has appointed
the following five commissioners to act
with Mr.. Larson as board of election
inspectors:
For the First Regiment, A. P. Erickson,
auditor Of Hennepin county; for the
Second, DR.. J. H. Dorsey of Glencoe;
for the Third, Roger M. Weaver OF
Duluth; for the First Field Artillery,
Col. George C. Lambert of St. Paul; as
an additional commissioner, Judge Loren
Cray of Mankato.
Judge Cray acted in similar capacity
at an election during the Civil War.
The law as passed contained but few
amendments, as drawn by the Attorney
Generals office.
The commissioners will leave the state
capital tonight for the border.
The result of votes polled on the border
will not be known for at least a week
after the election, as each will be en-
closed in an envelope with only the city
and precinct number in which the voter
lives, and will not be opened until after
it reaches the auditor of the county in
which the voter lives.
The votes will be turned over to the
commissioners after they have been cast,
and will be brought to the office of the
Secretary Of State, who will send them
to the proper county auditor.
In districts that are close the result of
the election may not be known until the
soldiers votes have been received and
counted.

A REAL SURE-ENUF STRIKE IN
NEW ULM.

Six of the eight journeymen BARRIERS
in New Ulm went on strike Monday
morning, demanding an increase of So
week in pay. Some of the master
BARRIERS granted the demand and their
men returned to work, while the others
refused. The men were receiving $14
a week and so per cent of their chair
receipts, above $22 a week. They
asked the SIG and the usual commission.
This was the third strike that New
Ulm has ever enjoyed. One was at the
Eagle Mills and the other in the stone
quarry. Both occurred several years
ago, and were so quiet that few people
here knew anything about them. Another
strike occurred here during the building
of the high school when the workmen
refused to continue unless allowed their
lunch hour in mid-forenoon.

Two dollar wheat isn't so bad, after

paying 1884 for that commodity and
selling the flour that he made from the
wheat, at $14 barrel. That was in

FORMER NEW ULM BOY
ACCUSED OF AUTO THEFT

Deputy Sheriff Bert l.. Morris of
Waukesha county, Wisconsin, arrived
here Saturday night, and left Sunday
with Charles Wieland, formerly of this
place for Oconomowoc, in that county,
where he is wanted on a charge of
burglary. Wieland had been arrested
earlier in the week by Chief of Police
John Herzog, on information received
from the chief of the Oconomowoc police
department on June 80. A telegram
stated that Wieland was accused of
stealing an automobile.
Chief Herzog had been on the look
out for Wieland since that time, but it
was not until last week that he showed
up. When he appeared in town the
chief spied him and locked him up in the
county Jail and notified the Wisconsin
officials. A wire was Immediately re-
celved requesting that the prisoner be
held until an officer could reach here.
Wieland refused to return without a
requisition from the governor, which
was secured by Deputy Morris on his
way here. ..
According to Deputy Morris, Wieland
and a companion are charged with
breaking into a garage last June and
stealing an automobile. 1t is claimed
they filed Yale lock in two to make
their entrance. The auto has been re-
covered and Wieland's partner arrested
and is also awaiting trial at Waukesha.
Wieland was brought up in New Ulm,
and has several relatives living here, but
it is said that none of them would come
to his rescue, when in the present trouble.
When searched at the jail a key to a
locker at the Northwestern depot was
found in his pocket. In the locker
Wieland's suit case was found, but it
contained only loaded revolver, a
quantity of working clothes, bunch of
love letters from various young women,
and book of sample love-letters.

CITY FATHERS AT THEIR
DINNER.
PROSPECT OF NEW CITY HALL
is AGAIN DISCUSSED BY THE
COUNCILMEN.

Hopes for new City Hall were again
expressed at the annual Firemen's
banquet, as they are at every banquet,

officers were guests of the New Ulm Fire
Department at the dinner, and as usual
the affair was decided success. The
dinner, whichwas good one, was served
by the ladies of the New Ulm Turnverein.
About 100 guests sat down to the dinner.
Fire Chief Henry Engel acted as toast
master in his most happy vein. The
principal speakers were Councilmen
Fred Behnke, Wd. Eibner and L. B.
Krook.
Talk About City Hall.
It was the latter who preached the
subject of a City Hall for New Ulm.
Mr.. Krook said that as member of the
council he felt that the time was at hand
when the matter should be taken up
and the project of the necessary bonds
submitted to the voters at the earliest
possible moment.
Other speakers echoed the sentiments
of Mr.. Krook and plans were freely dis
cussed.
Chief Engel also said he believed the
question could be further discussed and
arrangements made whereby the bonds
could be voted on at the city election
next spring.
The councilmen, in their addresses
took occasion to compliment the firemen,
Individually and collectively, on the good
record made by the department in all the
years that it has been in existence.
The fire department, which is purely
volunteer organization ranks with the
best of the kind in the state.
There has long been talk of better and
more up-to-date equipment in freight
ing apparatus, including a motor truck,
and it is fully expected that it will be
forthcoming in the not far distant future.
The program was we'll rounded out
with couple of piano solos by Miss
Cecilia Eibner; Ed. Stoll sang two songs
and Mrs. John Schapekahm gave several
recitations. All of the numbers were
heartily applauded.
One of First Members Present.
Charles Stoll, one of the four living
members of the original fire company,
organized in 1869, and the only one who
is yet an active member, was present
and gave short talk to his fellow mem
bers. The three others of the original
members, who are still living, but who
have now dropped out of the organiza-
ton are: EGG. Koch, Albert Held and
Frank Grebe.
Several of the present members joined
when the department was reorganized
in 1887 and have been in active service
ever since.
1t is at the annual banquets that the
older members can show the younger
chaps how to have good time and they
keep their end up with the best of them.

Following the banquet the evening
was given over to dancing and it is a
common remark that the firemen can
dance as we'll as fight fires and all know
that they are as good as the best of them
at that.
