STATE INSURANCE AND
FIRE MARSHAL MERGE

Although the administration of the
State fire marshars department was
transferred August l, to the State insur-
ance commission this will make no
change in the system of having the fire
chiefs and township clerks cooperate
with the department.
j.. B. Sanborn, insurance commissioner
who also is State fire marshal, has
announced that in addition to the large
force ct fire chiefs who have SO ably
assisted in the prevention of fires the
field men of the insurance companies
will also cooperate.
These field agents will be valuable
adjunct to the department" says Mr..
Sanborn, "as they will not only observe
whether proper precautions are being
taken against fires but will make sugges-
tions that if carried out will ultimately
result in reducing the cost of fire insur-
ance."
George H. Nettleton, who for the last
four years has been in charge of the
State insurance fund and investigating
fire hazards in the States public build
ings, is directly in charge of the fire
marshals Office as chief assistant, his
duties in connection with the insurance
on public buildings will be continued
as heretofore, however.

HOW TO SELECT APPLES
TO EXHIBIT AT THE FAIR

In selecting apples for exhibit, pick
specimens we'll colored for the variety,
large for the variety but neither punky
nor monstrous in size, true to varietal
form, and uniform in color, size and form.
All apples should be entirely free from
insect and disease injuries or blemishes
and bruises, and should possess their
stems and waxy bloom.
In shipping, wrap each fruit with pa
per and pack carefully in rigid recep-
tacle properly addressed, and labeled
"Perishable. Bruises occurring during
shipping count against the fruit but in
a much less degree than the preventable
injuries and blemishes.
Label all the varieties so that any one
not acquainted with fruit can name and
enter them correctly,

RUMOR COMES
FROM SAFETY COMMISSION

The Public Safety Commission ac-
cording to Tuesday evening late edition,
was considering the matter of removing
from Office, Mayor Fritsche, City At
torney Albert Pfaender and County
Auditor Louis G. Vogel. None of the
New Ulm men involved, have heard any
thing more than contained in the news
paper article, having received no official
notice of any action. It is believed here
that the commissions clerk, one John
Stone Pardee, who makes his living by
catching onto some official clerkship,
is responsible for most Of the dope
given out at the office Of the commission.

killed and eight wounded. Six of these
were killed on the east side, Big Eagles
men, near the top of the creek bluff,
where we tried so hard to kill the men
with the big guns. These we had to
leave without burying, as the soldiers
would shoot us if we stood up to carry
them away or to cover them.
"Only one big rush was made from the
south and west-where one of Little Skis
men was killed in the first shooting. We
buried him after the fight, when we went
around to the northwest, on the bank
of little creek back of the old crossing
road. The white man, the mail carrier
from New Ulm, who was killed, had on
a buckskin vest, with gold pieces sewed
inside. The Indians put the money in
kettle and carried it all day, and when
we camped on Three Mile creek that
night, buried it on the bank of the creek,
as we had no use for the money. / do
not think it has ever been dug up by any
of our people. / was with the party
that went back to Little Crows village
after the battle and was not in the battles
at New Ulm.
This is the truth Of these battles, as
/ was in both of.them."
The story told by Lightning Blanket,
before his death, has been verified by
several white men. and is without doubt
authentic.

serts Liberties Must Be Granted
in Every Country

Amsterdam, July 16.-Coant Michael
Karloyi, leader of the Hungarian in
dependent party, speaking in the
house of deputies says a telegram
from Budapest. declared:
''The central point Of the present
crisis is the question of peace. Every
one in Germany wants peace, but it is
not enough to desire it, the nation
must negotiate for it. Count Czernin
(Austro- Hungarian) foreign minister,
has not confined himself to mere
words, but has openly declared that
we are ready for peace without an
neXations. One of the prerequisite
conditions of peace is the democrati-
zation of every country"
In a continuation of the debate
Baron julius Beck said:
| "There is no war policy today, but
only a peace policy The people must
be honorable, guaranteeing Hungary's
frontiers and her political independ-
ence"
Count Moritz Esterhazy, the pre-
mier, replying to Baron Beck, said the
new Hungarian government stands for
the continuance of the alliance be-
tween the dual monarchy and Ger
many, as did the government which it
succeeded.
"We are waging this war as de-
fensive war. Our peace aim is not
conquest. We do not leave our enc
mics in doubt about this. On the con-
ktrary, we testified clearly before the
whole world our readiness for
peace"

Obtained.

Washington, July 14.-Secretary Ba-

drawing to select men for draft into
the war army numbers will be drawn

some 5000 districts with numbered
registration cards, so the first number
drawn will represent the first 5000
men to appear before the exemption
boards.
1t is estimated that so per cent of
the men examined will be exempted or
fail TO pass the physical examination,
so that more than million men prob
ably will appear before the boards be-

Petrograd, July 1S.-The Russians

by the Russian war department. The
Russians also took number of ma
chine guns
From July l to July 13, the state
ment says, 834 officers and $500 men
were captured by the Russians. Cen
eral Brussiloff's forces also captured
90 heavy and light guns, % trench
mortars, 403 machine guns, 43 mine
throwers, 40 bomb mortars, three fire
throwers, two airplanes and much
equipment.
The Russians drove the Austrians
out of the village of Lodziany, in the
Lomnica river region, and retained
possession of the eastern end of the
town. Northeast of Kalusz the Ger
mans began an attack. The Russians
threw them back.
Washington, July 1S.-The whole
Russian front from the Gulf of Riga
to Roumania is re sorted In official dis
patches from Petrograd to the Rus
sian embassy here to be alive with
battle. The Germans are said to be
rushing up troops from the Italian and
French fronts and to be entirely rear
ranging their positions.
On the northern front near Riga,
German re-enfOrcements are rushing
up by sea transport. On the Lemberg
front the troops are being shifted
back and forth by means of heavy au-
tomobiles in an attempt to prevent
further advances by General KornilOff.
On the southern front in the Carpathi-
ans, the Austrians are said to be In
full flight.
The German reinforcement of the
Riga front by transport is understood
here to be for German counter-of-
fenSive as diversion to the severe
Russian attacks farther south.
On the Lemberg front the left flank
of the Austro-German army defending
that city, is stated to be seriously
threatened, with the result that the
enemy is rushing men back and forth
in heavy automobiles in order to sup
port the weakened wing. General
Korniloff, in taking the town of Kalusz,
made very serious strategical threat
against the whole opposing German
forces, and the question remains as to
whether he may not complete it with
serious results to the Germans.
On the Carpathian front the Austri-
ans are said to be Fleeing in panic, "
stopping only where occasional steep
hills give them rest. General Tros-
dansky, in command of the Russians
there, is said to be pressing vigorously
forward on the heels of the retreating
foe and to be overcoming the rear
guards left among the natural barriers.
Other dispatches tell of new rules of
army discipline about to be issued by
Minister Kerensky. They will be very
brief and will lay stress on the equal
responsibility Of officers and men.
