TREAT is IN STORE FOR
THE PEOPLE OF NICOLLET

The people of Nicollet have treat in
store for them tonight, at the public park
in that village, when the postponed
community meeting will be held. New
Ulm people would find it a profitable
trip to go to Nicollet for the meeting.
Senator H. N. Benson of St. Peter
will address the audience on ''The
Community Spirit and Mrs. Peter
Oleson of Cloquet will bring message
from the north country which will be OF
benefit to every man and woman who
hears her.
1t is said of Mrs. Oleson that she has
probably done more than any other
person to advance the community idea
IN the northern counties of the Eighth
district; also she has been of great helu
to the Immigrant women of the mining
towns on the iron ranges.
Mrs. Oleson, who is one of the vice
presidents of the State Federation OF
Women's clubs, is the wife of the super
intendent of schools of Cloquet. She is
forceful speaker and gives her message
in an interesting manner.
Nicollet people expect to get together
Tor social evening tonight.

HEAVY DAMAGE BY WIND .,.
AND HAIL AT COMFRE1

A severe wind, rain and hail storm
visited Comfrey and vicinity on Sunday,
July 8, news of which did not reach this
city until the middle of last week. Out
side of the village the damage was done
to crops on farms lying south and east
of town. .E =
The storm struck Comfrey with great
force, the wind damaging the new con-
solidated school building to the extent
of about $1,000, which is covered by
insurance. The walls of the upper story
were blown down and the building was
otherwise damaged. I'LL. :.
A delegation of St. James people, who
had arrived in the village an hour be-
fore the storm broke we're badly
frightened, but managed to reach home
without serious mishap.
A rig on the street was blown over and
the horse made a mad rush down the
street, large trees were twisted and
blown down. .<sr
The storm extended north and west
Of Comfrey, doing considerable damage
in the vicinity of Morton.

RENVILLE COUNTY HAS
GENUINE RABIES SCARE

The Morton Enterprise says that q
real scare was created in Bandon town.
ship by the report that the University
of Minnesota had decided that the death
of a cow belonging to Andrew Lynch was
caused by an attack of rabies. Follow
ing the death of the cow Mr.. Lynch had
sent the head to the university to be
tested.
Some time ago, according to the En-
terprise, there was a rabies scare in Mr..
Lynch's neighborhood, and the authori
ties of Bandon township ordered that all
dogs in their. jurisdiction be either kept
shut up or killed.
The death of Mr. Lynch's COW, and the
cause being officially attributed to rabies,
indicates that the town authorities had
good grounds for the action. The Lynch
family had used the milk from the COW
until she showed signs of illness.

here is worth fifty dollars, much more
than a poor peon.
Pulque is Mexico's national drink, a
white, sour, smelly, yeasty juice Of the
maguey plant. The sign Of a pulque
shop is a long sheet of scissored tissue
paper Of many colors hung over the door.
The real signs are the sodden, sleepy men
who lie on the plazas and walks. It is a
common sight to see carloads of holiday
merry-makers soused with pulque and
beaming with 'spulquetudinous'' smiles.
The drink is not unhealthy, is often
given children, but an overdose dis
eases the body and deadens the mind.
Pulque is another Carranza prohibition,
but you will find it sold everywhere. I
entered a shop and asked for a drink.
The keeper filled mug from big
barrel and told my guide must 60 out
side of the shop to drink it. It is all
right to drink pulque, but not in the
saloon.
Baseball is Popular
Baseball is very popular in Yucatan
and is advertised by big signs on church
walls and buildings. All the children
play it and there are some crack teams
that have beaten our United States
marines. Let us hope they will sub
stitute the game of baseball for the game
of war and the in and out Shoots of
the baseball for the cannon ball.

SCORES ENJOY PICNIC
AT LAKE WASHINGTON

A large number of Shriners and their
families attended the picnic given by
the Mankato Shriners at Lake Washing
ton last week. The festivities extended
from Wednesday morning until Friday
evening. The rain, however, cut off
the stay of many OF the pleasure seekers,
and most of the New Ulm people who had
intended to remain at least two days,
returned home Wednesday evening.
A part of YOUNGSTERS Band furnished
music for the festivities. The Mankato
Shriners, the local visitors say, proved
themselves excellent entertainers, as
there was something doing all of the
time. Among those present from this
city were the following:

SENATORS ARE APPEALED
TO IN COAL SITUATION
Governor Asks Minnesota Solons
to Secure Federal Action.

Governor Burnquist has taken hand
in securing federal relief for the coal
situation in Minnesota and the Dakotas.
Thursday the governor wired Senators
Frank B. Kellogg and Knute Nelson,
urging that every effort be made to Sc
cure action by the government to re-
lieve the situation in this part of the
northwest. A week ago the governor
wired President Wilson to the same
effect, but apparently no attention was
paid to the telegram. In the telegram
to the President it was explained that
there would be suffering in the North
west unless government action afforded
relief.
Railroads Are Blamed
Judge John F. MCGEE Of the Public
Safety commission says the shortage
at the Head of the Lakes is due to the
failure of the railroads to furnish the
cars to haul the coal from the mines to
the Eastern lake ports. The state

KING CARNIVAL IS
0USTED IN MERIDA
AMERICAN TRAVELLER WRITES OF
TIME-HONORED MEXICAN
. FROLIC
BULL AND COCK-FIGHTS AND
GAMBLING ARE PRINCIPAL
PASTIMES
By G. l.. Morrill,.

Alvarado, the governor of Yucatan,
has dethroned King Carnival. He re-
fused to permit any confetti battles in
Merida, the capital, or elsewhere, during
the Pre-Lenten season, only allowing
balls, dances and parades. But in the
Mexican state of Campeche it was
different.
I found Campeche, the capital, dark,
dirty and pestilential During the
carnival awnings were stretched across
the narrow streets to keep out the
blistering sun. In the morning the
populace pelted each other with confetti.
In the afternoon, men coarsely dressed,
charged through the Streets in two
wheeled carts while the crowd threw
packs of lighted frecrackers on them,
which exploded, blackening their faces
and burning their clothes. After few
minutes these men looked like fends
fresh from the inferno, and they retaliated
by throwing seaweed, slop and dirt on
the crowd.
Torment "Gringo."
When the mob saw ''gringo" amongst
them, though wore good clothes, it
chased me across the plaza, throwing
lighted packs of crackers in my face
and down my neck and trying to
burn my clothes off. I found refuge
on the platform of a street-car, but they
followed and I was covered with filth,
flour and sea-weed. This was fun for
them, .barbarous sport that keeps
their spirits up for prospective revolu-
tions
Next to the pleasure of killing each
other is the Joy of bull-fght and cock
fight Bull-fghts now are supposed to
be prohibited. Imagine my surprise to
find one advertised in Mexico City. I
was told it would be mock, amateurish
one, like the kind they have in Yucatan
where they chase the bull, twist his tail,
or pull off the coins tied around his head.
l went to the big steel and concrete
bullring and found it was the real thing,
for two bulls were killed in a bungling,
brutal way.
Demanded Killing
The small crowd present made big
noise, demanding their money back
until the matador killed the bulls. On
my return I told some friends of the
killing, but they shook their heads in
credulously and said, "How strange.
Cock-fights are more frequent and
regularly attended than church services
in Mexico City. Though gambling was
said to be prohibited in all forms, 1 saw
thousands in gold change hands in a
cockpit. The pit was bowling pande-

Georgia and have better care and food
