CHOLERA EPIDEMIC
MAY Be A SCARE
DISEASE SAID TO HAVE NOW
BROKEN OUT IN RENVILLE
COUNTY. ~.
NEW ULM BUYERS DOUBT THE
ACTUAL EXISTENCE OF -.
= INFECTION.

Renville county farmers are warned
that hog cholera has broken out in that
county again, and that they should be on
guard against the spreading of the
| disease, County Agent w. E. Morris
OF Olivia, has sent out letter, informing
the farmers that out of shipment of
400 hogs shipped from Bird Island re-
Gently, forty-nine of them were declared
infected with the disease and con-
demned. In the course of his letter,
Mr.. Morris says:
Source Not Known.
THE source of this infection is not
known. It is known these condemned
hogs were shipped from two feeding
yards at Bird Island, but gathered UP
from various parts of the county. What
makes this outbreak look serious is the
fact that no outbreaks of hog cholera
have been found around Bird Island
since 1915, which proves the disease will
live over on the premises once infected
| ana cause trouble LATER. .r-- E..
| New Ulm stock dealers and farmers
doubt the statement that it was really
hog cholera that existed in the Bird
Island shipment, but say it is important
that farmers look we'll to their stock and
prevent an outbreak.
Hog Cholera Doubted.
'The trouble is" said one man, "every
time hog gets sick, no matter what the
disease, it is at once called hog cholera
and the whole agricultural population
goes into a panic. For my part l don't
believe hog cholera would break out at
this time of year, especially with the
extremely cold weather we have had this
winter. There are any number of
diseases that might affect hogs, but nine
times out of ten that which is called hog
cholera, is not that disease at all. It is
well that farmers be on their guard, but
it is also important that they do not get
unduly excited.

At joint session of the Commissioners
OF Brown and Renville counties Friday,
several bids for bridge to cross the

expecting the lowest were thrown out,
while the smaller one is under considera-
ton. The original appropriation for
the bridge was but $4,000 and other
arrangements must be made before the
proposition of the bridge firm can be

WATER SUPPLY OF
CITY INADEQUATE! |I:
REPRESENTATIVE STATE HEAL. tn
BOARD FINDS CONDITIONS
VERY GOOD.
ANOTHER WELL rs CONSIDERED
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
FoRIsUMMER.

" B. M. Mohler, of the State Board of
Health, was in the city Monday, in
speeding the city's water supply. Mr..
Mohler is we'll known to the people here.
having made frequent trips to New Ulm
since three years ago, when the city ex-
perienced serious typhoid fever epide-
mic. At that time he spent several
weeks here looking after the condition
OF the water furnished by the city.
Conditions Excellent.
!; Mr.. Mohler said Monday that on his
present. "trip he found everything in
excellent condition. The city authori-
ties have complied with the orders made
by the board, and he anticipates no more
trouble from the water furnished to the
citizens of New Ulm.
Several weeks ago the board, after
making an examina ton of the water gave
the plant clean bill. Monday Mr..
Mohler took some more samples which
will be tested, and report of the findings
will be made later.
Supply Too Small.
However, there are serious chances.
and in fact an absolute certainty that
there will be as great, or possibility a
greater shortage of water during the
coming summer as was experienced
during the hot weather last year. The
water plant has no greater capacity than
last year, and there are many more
residences and other places to be supplied.
The attention of the council has been re-
peatedly called to the conditions and the
necessity of another well at Hermann
Hill, or elsewhere to supply the demand,
but so far no attention has been paid to
these pleadings.
Filtration Plant Possibility.
Superintendent Mueller says either
another well must be supplied or the
city must install filtration plant and
take it's water supply from the Minnesota
river.
Should the council decide to sink
another well at the hilltop it would be
necessary to begin action at once, as it
would require at least four months to
complete the work, which brings it's COM
pletion well into July before the city
could possibly expect to secure the
necessary relief.

NEW UIM, BROWN COUNTY. MINNESOTA WEDNESDAY, MARcH
To Be Dominant Issue.

IL IS certain that the Legislature, from
now on, will have plenty to say about
efficiency and economy. The issue
promises to become dominant.
With only seven weeks of the session
left, there is grave danger some of the
bills will be killed by too much talk"
Health Bill Progresses.
According to Senator Duxbury, Chair
man OF civil administration committee,
there has been less opposition to the bill,
popularity known as ''The Health Re
organization Act than to any of the So
called Reorganization measures" num-
Der of minor changes eliminate features
that have been Objectionable to few;
it will be taken up as a special order in
the Senate this week. = r.
DR.. I. J. Murphy of the Public Health
Commission comments as follows: From
all parts OF the state numerous INQUIRIES
come in regarding the progress of this
bill. Turnout the State people are
anxious to see this bill voted out of com
mlttee and acted upon at an early date;
If it is passed before the appropriation
committees make final reports funds for
state health work which have been sadly
needed for several years past will be
Forthcoming. The people of the state
have genuine interest in public health
work; this is evidenced by the fact that
this year as the result of the seal sale
alone it is estimated, when all reports
are in, it will be shown that they volun-
,tarlly taxed themselves two cents per
person. But the annual budget al
lowed by the previous legislature for
state health work amounts to only three
and one-fourth cents per capita"

T. 20, NEXT.

MANY NOVELTIES TO AMUsE
PATRONS.

new lie is TO De put into the Brown
County Agricultural Society, and this
years show promises to be the best and
most attractive that has ever been held
on the local grounds. At a meeting OF
the Board of Directors held Tuesday
evening, large amount of business was
transacted and plans laid for the 1917
fair. -
a Fair Last of August.
The dates set for the fair were Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, August q,
% and 20.
. Besides setting the dates for the fair,
the directors approved of the action so
far taken by the secretary, w. E. Engel-
bert, and gave him instructions as to
his future activities in preparing pro-
gram. It was practically decided that a
racing card would be eliminated in the
future. Such action was recommended
by the secretaries and managers of
Southern Minnesota fairs, at their recent
meeting at Rochester.
Fair managers, especially for county
exhibitions, insist that the day of the
horse race and similar attractions has
passed, and in the future different class
OF amusements must be provided.
Attractions for Children.
It was argued, by the most experienced
managers that they. must provide at
fractions that will amuse the women and
children. Horse race and base ball fans,
it was argued, at the Rochester meeting,
will patronize the big fairs for their
favorite amusements.
Instead of the horse races there will be
substituted large number Of special
features that will appeal to all classes.
Mr.. Engelbert reported that he had CON
tracted for free acts to be given on the
fair grounds during the three days men
toned, as follows:
Howard Fielding and Helen Corlos in
one act roller skating novelty. The
Six Cornalls, who will appear in two act
novelties; one trick cycling affair, while
the second will consist of several acrobatic
stunts on wheels. The RAINBOW Trio
will give two distinct acts twice "a day.
Mr.. Engelbert has also contracted for
night display of fireworks. which will be
far ahead of anything of the kind that
has ever been seen in New Ulm. There
will be no common stuff in the lot, all
being set pieces. ~"
The acts SO far engaged, including the
fireworks, are all State Fair headliners.
The first series of attractions will cost
something more than $1,000, while the
fireworks are to cost upwards of $500.
Loop-the-Loop Artist Wanted.
Secretary Engelbert was also instructed
to negotiate for the services Of "loop-
the-loop" aeronaut,' and if satisfactory
arrangements can be made one will
probably be engaged.
A committee appointed several weeks
ago to sell block of stock of the assoc
citation, sufficient to construct another
exhibition building and grand stand,
has begun active work along that line,
and it's success bids fair. The follow
ing are the members of''the committee:
]. A. Ochs, chairman; Albert Steinhauser,
F. H. Behnke, H. N. Somsen, William A.
Pfeferle, A. J. Vogel, DR.. ]. P. Graf, A.

GERMANY AND MEXICO.

The American people will derlV little comfort from the report from Mexico regarding the influence Ger many is yielding over Carranza and his government. Just what our gov ernment knows of German operations in Mexico has not been disclosed but probably it is well informed. When the administration gave out informa- tion on the Zimmerman note it show ed it was not in the dark as to the German influence over Carranza.
 It may nave been observed that the president-elect has been peculiar ly quiet about the Zimmerman let ter. The only official word on the subject was a denial that it had been received by the Mexican government. There was no assurance of good will toward the United States. t..

WHY OPPOSED THE PRESIDENT.
 By William J. Stone.

In view of the indecent attacks to which he has been subjected by the Republican press Senator William Joel Stone issued the following state ment in the St. Louis Republic, the leading Democratic paper of St. Louis. The statement coming from the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations deserves the same attention as message from the Pres ident of the United States or any oth- CT high official. Mir. Stone is one of the foremost Democrats of the Middle West, and is mentioned as a possible candidate for the presidency in 1920. It is a curious fact that of all the papers in the country which bitterly attacked him for his stand, not one would publish his explanation. We print the most important passages from Senator Stones manifesto:
 II took no part in any filibuster. These are the facts: On the morning of the day the President addressed the joint session of Congress, February PC, was called to the White House for consultation with the President and was then informed of the Presi. dents intention to address the Con gress that afternoon and to recom- mend the passage of the statute which has been the subject of this contro- versy
 According to our invariable GUS tom, the President and l discussed the subject with absolute frankness. told him that, in my opinion, it would be a serious blunder to take that step, and gave him my reasons, but evidently without convincing him. l felt convinced that such a law, if enacted and enforced, would lead in evitably to war, and was opposed to plunging this country into that hor- TOT of horrors without greater provo cation than we had so far experience cd. In addition, I was of the opinion that such a law would be in direct conflict with the plain letter of the Constitution of the United States, which Senators, as well as the Presi- dent, are sworn zealously to support

ThE Seattle P.-I., of March 4, in commenting upon the decision of Judge Jennings in the contest for del egate, states that for the eminent jur- ist to say that the provisions of the election law were directory and not mandatory would be to deprive the law of it's power to cure the evils that it seeks to end; and that the official ballots lawfully voted were thus the only ballots which could be considered under the ruling of Attorney General Grigsby.

TlEN-TSIN, China. March 29.- Admiral Cheng Pi-kuang, the minister of the navy, has revived the subject of rebuilding the Taku forts, which were destroyed by the allied forces during the Boxer trouble in 1900. The cabinet is considering the admir- als recommendation, and an effort probably will be made in short time by the foreign office to gain permits sion from foreign powers for the re- construction of the historic forts, which stand at the mouth of the Peiho river leading from Tientsin to the sea. Under the protocol of 1901. immediately following the Boxer trouble. China is forbidden to for tify the mouth of the Peiho.

 eventuality but for the prompt and public spirited action of our city council in agreeing to MT. Emel's con- ditions, and meeting him more than half way in an effort to secure this industry.

ing dominated by the German lega- ton and the German bank at Mexico City. It is reported that Germany and Mexico have been in wireless com munication and that a wireless sta- tion was built at the capital by Ger man engineers. How much credence can be placed in these statements it is difficult to say, but all the reports regarding operations of Germans in Mexico must be accepted as having m important collateral bearing on the main situation as revealed by the Zimmerman instructions.
 One fact is known-and that is that about 400 Germans are enter ing Mexico from the United States daily, and that many of them are re- servists. Possibly this circumstance would hold but little interest in view nf the probability of our going to war with Germany, but for the fact that Teutons are welcomed in Mexico and are given a haven of refuge by the Carranza government, for which the United States is responsible.
 If Germany and the United States become involved in war we may ex- pect Mexico to be the base of Ger man operations in the Western hem isphere, and it is one of the proba- bilities that a demand for the erad'- cation of the German influence will be made upon the Carranza govern meEt.
