LOCAL SERVICE NOT AFFECTED

- . - = &
While large number of passenger
trains have been ordered discontinued
under the new regulations of the rail-
road, so far the roads serving New Ulm
had no notice to discontinue any trains.
The order at present seems to affect
chiefly the parlor car service of the
eastern lines. Many of the trains run
ming chair and parlor coaches from Chi
cago east to New York, Philadelphia
and other points and between eastern
cities and some of the Twin City Chi
cago lines have had orders to cut down
their service greatly in order to release
engines for freight traffic. New de-
murrage rulings will also tend to relieve
the congestion by causing shippers and
receivers to hustle about loading and
unloading. There will be charge of
So. 90 for the first day or fraction thereof
that a car is held over the time allowed
by the ruling and thereafter the demur-
rage charge per day runs up at the rate
of an additional dollar per day until
a maximum of $1,000 per day is reached.
After that the shipper might just as well
make up his mind to buy the car for it
will have cost him so much he. had better
keep it for a summer home.

HEAVY LOSS BY FIRE

The waning hours of the old year
did not pass out in a blaze of glory
for Herman Tessman, a well known
farmer residing three miles south OF
Dotson, but the blaze was there all
right and it was a disastrous one too.
Mr.. Tessman's large barn, in size about
80 so, was completely destroyed by
fire Monday evening at about six o'clock.
The horses and stock were removed to
a place of safety, but the remaining
contents consisting of shredded corn
oats, hay, harnesses, etc, was completely
consumed. $3.50.
Mr.. Tessman thinks the fire may
have started from the lantern. He
had stepped into the barn and de-
posted the lantern, after which he
went out to the pump to make an
adjustment preparatory to starting the
gasoline engine, with which the pump
ing is done. He had been out of the
barn only short time when he discovered
the blaze, which made such rapid head
way that it was a matter of certainty
that the barn was doomed to destruction
from the very first. However, any
neighbors hurried to the scene to render
assistance.
The loss represents heavy one tc

TELLS OF TERRIBLE TOLL OF

the State Safety Commission, Lieut..
Paul Perigord Of the French army re-
lated tossan audience Of nearly fifteen
hundred people the terrible situation
that the war has brought upon his native
land s, France. The. lecture was given
at the Armory Friday evening, having
been arranged by Supt. Hess who is
chairman of the Brown County Safety
Board.
French Waited Long For America
Lieut.. Perigord was net of the Teddy
Roosevelt ranting type, but spoke quietly
and earnestly Of the things he had seen
and experienced in three years spent in
the trenches, and urged his hearers to
give and do all that lay in their power
to assist his beloved land to win its free
dom from the invader. He spoke of
the horrors Of trench warfare and said
that the stories of the German atroc-
tiles were true, but he did not go into
details in this respect. He told of the
terrific struggle France has made, Of
the slowness of England in getting into
the war and Of the relief felt when Amer
lea at last joined hands with the Allies.
The French people, he said, looked for
three years for the entry Of America
into the war because they felt America
owed. France that debt Of gratitude,
for what had been done for the United
States by, the French in the Revolution.
Red Cross Work Praised
The speaker told Of the good done by
the Red Cross work and urged all to
continue in this aid to the men at the
front. He urged also the conservation
Of food so that soldiers may not suffer
for the lack of necessities in the trenches.
He urged women and girls to do their
share in sacrificing as the women of
France are doing, In short, Sacrifice"
was the keynote of his talk.
The lecture was very interesting
turnout and no doubt will have the effect
wherever it is delivered of arousing
sympathy for France.
