SLEEPY EYE PREPARING
FOR BASE BALL SEASON

3
The village Of Sleepy Eye is beginning
to talk base ball, and when Sleepy Eye
begins to talk it is usually a sure sign
that she is going to act. Sleepy Eye, in
fact, is not what its name would in
dicate, being decidedly wide-awake.
AS result it is safe bet that the town
to the west of us will have real ball
team in the field.
At banquet served at the Lenoa
hotel, plans were discussed and arrange
ments particlly made for the opening
of the season.,
1t is expected the team will be largely
homemade affair, the intention of the
promoters being to use local players as
much as possible.
During the evening a permanent or
,ganization was formed and the follow
ing officers elected: President, George
Glotzbach: vice president, A. F. Kuske;
treasurer, Joseph Herzog; secretary, w.
Zell; directors, DR.. A. F. Stricken, Hans
Jensen, Charles Hanson, F. w. Meyer
and DR.. Rounds.

MANKATO MEN ARE NEAR
DEATH IN AUTO SPILL

Glen S. Dixon, manager of the Saul
paugh Hotel at Mankato, and R. j..
Cramwell, commercial traveller, were
seriously hurt in an auto accident while
driving a motor car from St. Peter
to Mankato a few days ago. AS they
swung into>a stretch of road near rail-
road crossing they saw team on the
left hand side of the road and Mr.. Cram
well, who was driving the car thot he
would take chance and pass on the
right hand side. AS he neared the rig
the driver suddenly turned to the side
OF the road he should have been in the
first place. Cramwell, to avoid hitting
the carriage, was obliged to run his car
into the ditch. The car was wrecked
and both men badly injured. They were
taken to Mankato and placed in hospi-
tal. While Dixon escaped with only
some serious bruises, Cramwell, it is
feared, received internal injuries by
being jammed against the steel steering
gear of the car.

RIVER HAS BEEN HIGHER

Alex. Russell of West Newton was in
the city Thursday, the first time in
some time owing to the high water in the
river. Mr.. Russell says the statement
that the river was the highest this spring
since 1885 is a mistake, as some eighteen
years ago it was nearly ten feet higher
than at its highest stage so far this year.
He says that general seeding is practii-
cally finished in his neighborhood, CON
slderably earlier than it was last spring.
Not at any time within my memory.

OLD GLORY FLIES
FROM P0STOFFlCB
UNITED STATES TREASURY
DEPARTMENT sUsPENDs OLD
RULING

The Stars and Stripes foated from the
postofdce last Thursday for the first
time in many months. In fact it was
probably the first time that the flag
ever foated from the New Ulm federal
building proper. And thereby hangs a
'taie. zsss7
Early last fall the flag pole, which had
stood near the building was blown down.
From its top the flag had foated since
the erection Of the building.
Authorities Notified
Postmaster Fred Pfaender promptly
notified the proper government officials.
After going thru the usual amount of
red tape" demanded by the federal
government officials at Washington
during which there was a delay of
several months the contract was let for
the erection Of a new pole, but it was SO
late that the work could not be started
until spring.
The United States Treasury Depart
ment, under whose control the post
Office building is vested, has an IRON
clad rule forbidding the floating of a flag
or emblem of any kind. Neither could
the walls be decorated in any manner,
nor even foated from a window of the
building Hence Postmaster Pfaender
was obliged to bide his time as he sup
posed, until the completion of the flag
pole.
Citizens Protest
In the meantime New Ulm citizens
had protested to Washington of the
apparent lack of patriotism on the part
of the postoffice authorities of this city.
But there was nothing to do but wait
either for the completion of the pole or
for the Washington officials to change
their minds. It was the latter that
came first, however. Thursday morn
ing Postmaster Pfaender received an
official notice from Washington, suspend
ing the rule and notifying him that a
flag could be placed on the, building.
A few minutes after the notice was
received "Old Glory" was floating from
an upper window of the building.

RESULT SHOWN IN
PHYSICAL CULTURE
TURNER { sccooL STUDENTS
GIVE EXCELLENT ATHLETIC
PROGRAM. :.

The fifty-frst annual Schauturnen,
under the auspices of the New Ulm
Turnzoeglings Verein, at Turner Hall
last Saturday evening, proved to be an
unqualified success, said by regular at
pendants to be even better than all
previous efforts. Prof. Herman Helm,
turning instructor, has again demon
strated his ability as a teacher in ath-
letics, and as usual came in for much
praise from the large audience that filled
the hall to capacity. There were more
than $50 students of Prof. Helm on the
program and each did his or her work
in an enviable manner. The only num-
Der on the program necessary to cancel
was the address to have been delivered
by F. W. Johnson. Owing to severe
cold Mr.. Johnson was unable to speak.
Physical Culture Necessity.
That physical culture is necessity
to the growing generation is being more
and more demonstrated as the years roll
around. Since. the organization of the
local Turnzloeglngs Verein fifty-one
years ago, great changes have been
wrought in the matter of athletics and
the advancement in the public and pri-
vate schools and colleges of the country
has been marvellous. This branch OF
school work is taught in practically every
high school of the country at the present
time, and is showing great growth from
year to year. 1t is agreed by all that a
we'll developed body is requisite for the
production Of well developed mind.
The entertainment Saturday evening
consisted of some fifteen numbers, in
Guiding two double numbers, one by the
first boys class and the other by the first
girls class. From the grand review
in which all of the classes appeared,
there was something doing every minute
of the time.
While all of the work was of the most
excellent character, that done by the
boys and girls classes showed every de-
tail had been worked out, and was
wonderful exponent of how grace and
bearing is attained. Prof. Helms ability
to train the youngsters was more than
ever demonstrated in preparing these
students for the entertainment.
Fine W0rL oe Aok:...
The feature calling for perhaps the
greatest applause was that given by the
Actives. Each member carried flag.
and as the little army of men formed a
pyramid there foated from the top two
great American emblems in all of their
glory. The sight as the pyramid was
finished was most inspiring one.
The parallel bar work and the national
tournament exercises by the Juniors were
well done as also was the fancy club
swinging and the calisthenics by the
ladies' classe.
The last number was wrestling bout
between Roman Brust and Leo Berg.
A social dance and supper following
the entertainment concluded the even
ing's festivities.

journed, after three-months' session,
during which there was lot of talk, and
not much else done, except to pass ap-
preparation measures. And in that re-
spect the legislature will go down in
history as exhibiting master hand.
1t has been termed the zone idea" and
killing session. The last cognomen
was gained from the fact that most of the
worthy measures presented were killed
most of them on general principles
just to kill.
Little Constructive Legislation
Most of the legislation enacted con-
sisted of laws affecting only localities,
minor amendments to present laws and
a number of war measures made up
the bulk of the business done.
However, the legislature managed to
pass appropriations totaling 1885,, 1892.
and doubling the state tax of previous
years. There is some talk that there
will be an extra session called. If this
proves true the members may have an
opportunity to add few more millions
in appropriations, just for good measure.
The Public Safety commission, with
practically unlimited powers, was passed
and the members have already been APP
pointed. They consist of the following:
John Ling, Minneapolis; Judge ]. r.
MCGEE. Minneapolis; C. w. Ames, st.
Paul; G. H. March, Litchfeld; A. C.
Weiss, Duluth. While the board has
81 100000 at its disposal approximately
one-half of the amount is to be used in
squaring up the back pay due the boys
who served on the MexicanS border
during the last half Of 1916.
Prohibition One Idea
The constitutional amendment for
state wide prohibition was the 'one
idea" of the Legislature. The death OF
the important efficiency and economy
bills, primary law changes, woman suf-
frage, statutory prohibition, tonnage
tax, make the term killing" appropriate.
There were some constructive meas
ures passed. The election laws were
amended by the enactment Of an alb
sent voters law The drainage laws
were codifed and improved. The ma
jor part of the program Of the child
welfare commission was enacted. Two
important changes were made III the
workmen's compensation act. The
"blue sky law, to prevent the market.
ing Of worthless securities, was placed
on the books:
Freak Bills Abound
There were freak bills galore. The
protection Of the lowly frog was sought
in one. Another provided for a 'jury
primer" in which was to be recorded the
names Of all law-abiding property owners
eligible for jury service. The use Of
snuff to be forbidden by another. The
use of gas in hotels for lighting purposes
was also prohibited by one bill. None
OF these measures passed. u.
Legislative Comedies
It has become the custom in recent
years for all sessions to conduct inves-
LEGATIONS, inquiries, probes, into that
thing, this thing and the other thing.
The fortieth session was no exception.
The House appointed one committee to
investigate grain exchanges and au-
thorized its labor committee to INQUIRE
into I. w. w. disturbances.

vious legislative inquiries, the ones this

Statement Explains.
A statement was issued by Mr.. Bah
cock explaining several considerations
influencing the committee in its appor-
tionment figures.
THE division of the funds was difficult
because of the administration and re-
serve deductions" he says, "also for the
reason that liabilities had been assumed
by the highway commission at the re-
quest of the three large counties and rep
resentatives from other parts of the state,
for the payment Of 1000 cash to Pine
and Chisago counties to assist in the
construction of the Twin Cities-D Duluth
road, and for the further reason that it is
necessary to provide in part for pay
ment toward the state rural highways
established within the last three years
in Winona, Cass, Beltrami and Aitkin
counties.
Certain Policy Followed.
THE committee followed in general
the policy of the highway commission
in giving aid to those counties. living

"a ROSE O. PLYMOUTH TOWN.
PRODUCTION STAGED
THIS YEAR

Real Actors In Cast
The class this year has some excel
lent timber in it's cast of characters,
and those who have witnessed some Of the
rehearsals declare that the young men
and women who are to appear before
the audience next Wednesday evening
have the bearing of seasoned actors
and actresses. Those who witness the
production certainly will not in the least
be disappointed.
The play depicts the early Puritan days
S0f New England, and will be instructive
as well as entertaining. You will see in
real life how the knights of old fought
duels for the hand of some fair lady,
and you will also learn how the Puritan
lads won the fair Puritan lassies.
The only ones who will have anything
to regret will be those who fail to see the
play. Following is the synopsis:
Act I.
Rose de la Noye is sweet Puritan
maiden, staying at the home of Captain
Standish and his wife, Barbara Standish.
The other occupants of the house are her
brother, Philippe; her cousin, Miriam;
and Aunt 9Resolute. Miriam is in
terested in one Of the Plymouth colonists,
John Margeson, who does not return her
interest. Rose, sorry for her cousin,
bids Philippe be as brother to Miriam.
A friendship grows up between the two
which develops into love. AS for Rose,
she favors young daredevil, Garrett
Foster, whom she shields from the fury
of the Captain when Garrett filings him
self upon her hospitality after prank in
the corn field.
Act II.
Rose feigns an interest in John in order
to punish him for his neglect of Miriam,
and in order to tease Garrett. While
they are testing together, John takes
cowardly advantage of Rose and catches
her in his arms. Garrett challenges him
to duel. The duel is interrupted by
the order of Miles Standish, but not be-
fore Philippe, who has attempted to in
terfere, is wounded. -.
Act Ill. s..s
Philippe declares his love for Miriam,
and finds that she returns his affection.
Rose receives letter from Garrett, tell
ing her that he has heard the rumor that
she is to wed John Margeson, and saying
that he himself is going to England. Rose,
angry at his immediate acceptance of the
rumor, foolishly promises to marry John,
only to repent upon realizing how much
inferior is John to Garrett, who returns
to warn the Puritan colony of an attack.
Act w.
Garrett Foster saves the colony, not
only by his warning of the coming of the
Indians, but by bravely defending alone
a breach in the stockade. John Mar
geson has falsely sworn that he was the
defender of the stockade, but his lie is
brought to light and Rose is released
from her promise of marriage. She gives
her love to the man who is deserving of
it, and Garrett Foster claims her as his
own.
