ROMANCE OF CORN TOLD
is AN INDIAN LEGEND
American Redman Named Cereal
1sThe Friend of Man." Accord
ing to Objibway Story.

Mondamin-'sF Friend of Man''-is
the name given to Americas wonder
full cereal, corn, by the American
Inda and its tremendous influence
in the upbuilding of our county not
only justifes the name, but forces re-
cognition of the remarkable foresight
of the Redman
1t is to the imaginative Objibway
that we are indebted for beautiful
legend of the origin of corn, and, ac-
cording to this legend, for corn, itself.
Ambitious for the advancement of
his people, one of their leaders sought
iseclusion in the forest, and during
period of fasting and prayer appealed
to The Master of Life for help to
check the destructive wars among the
nations. After seven days, Monda-
min messenger from the Great
Spirit" appeared and for four days
this leader Wrestled with him and, de-
feating him, buried the body under the
leafy mold where it fell.
Through the whispering trees came
the command from above to keep the
soil loose and free from weeds above
the resting place of the conquered
spirit, and in a short time spears of
green, sprang up and with the autumn
|coloring came the rippened grain that
was to be the food of the indian for
lever. No longer was it necessary for
them to depend for subsistence upon
wild grams and game-the .sGreat
Spirit had supplied them with a
wonderfully nourishing cereal, that,
mixed in equal parts with dried meat,
sustained them in the arduous physical
undertaking demanded by their prim-
tive mode Of living. Corn was the
answer to the prayers for help in the
advancement Of the race.
Modamin is still the Friend Of
Man" but it appears to be sadly
neglected by the present generation,
possibly through ignorance Of its
noursihing qualities as foodstuf and
its cheapness. Tom Chivington for
the Corn Bulletin.

'EMPLOYE ! 7 AT GAS
PLANT INJURED
PAUL BORCHERT SUSTAINED
BURNS ON FACE, HANDS
SATURDAY "A. M.
BLAZE CAUSED BY EXPLOSION
QUICKLY ExTINGUIsHED.
NO DAMAGE.

Paul Borchert, engineer in charge oi
the gas plant Of the New UlmG Gas Co
located on First North street just east
OF the Northwestern railroad right-of-
way, had narrow escape from death
Saturday morning at aboutS8 o'clock
when an explosion occurred at the
plant. AS it was Mr.. Borchert sus-
tanned severe and very painful burns
about the face and hands,ilas result
Of which he is confined tosshis home
on North Minnesota street., His con-
dition is not serious, but he will be
incapacitated for work for a few
weeks.
Condensation Caused Explosion.
Due to the pressure maintained in
the gas mains, the residuary Oil in the
gas is condensed and runs back to an
underground tank which is located in
a pit just east Of the plant. This con-
densation is comparatively small and
is pumped from the underground tank
periodically and emptied into the
sewer, the nearest opening of which
is the boiler blow-off pit. Ordinarily
the condensed oil is not infammable
and, as usual, 'Mr. Borchert dumped
itinto the sewer opening, after having
pumped it out Of the tank. Shortly
1afterward she let hot water out of the
boiler sin cleansing the latter from
residue, and the esca ping steam must
have generated gas from the condensed
oil, which was drawn into, the fire box
The big steel doors of the building
were open us9causing a draft.
Flames Trail to Pit.
Immediately "a sheet Of. fame shot
out Of the boiler and followed the trail
of oil to the pit outside the building.
Mr.. Borchert stood directly in the
path Of fire and his clothing became
ignited. But for the timely arrival Of
Jack Teichrow, Mr.. Borchert probably
would have been fatally burned. Mr.
Mr. Teichrow succeeded in extinguish.
ing the flames, but not until Mr.. Bor-
ebert had sustained painful burns about
the face and hands.
Fire Alarm Sent in.
A fire alarm was sent in from
Box No. IA, located at the corner o1
Front and First North streets, neal
the Eagle Mill cooper shop, and the
fremen responded promptly, the fire
truck making record run. Chemicals
were used and the fire was quickly put
out. Due to the fre-proof construc,
tion of the plant, no damage was done
to the property
No Danger From Explosion.
C. R. Hennick of the New Ulm Gas
Co., who has temporarily taken charge
of the operation Of the gas plant, since
Mr.. Borchert's injury, informs us thai
there is absolutely no danger from ex
plosion in case of a fire at the gas plant
as all the gas is enclosed, either in air
tight containers or in pipes, and ga
will not ignite unless mixed with tn,
proper amount Of air. The principl,
of gas ignition is similar to the opera
tion of the carburetor on an automo
bile, the object of which is to form
proper mixture of gasoline and air
Every precaution is taken to preven
explosions at the plant, and the fac
that Saturdays fire did not resul
disastrously for the building, prove
that gas explosions there are i'm
possible under the existing conditions

Enter, Herman c. vogl.

Enter, Herman C. Vogl.
Herman G. Vogl, who formerly con-
Quoted grocery store on North Min
nesota and prior thereto was local
representative of an oil company, has
gently deposited his Easter head-piece
into the political ring in the Second
ward, and as a result Of his action,
Councillor Karl H. Aufderheide, who
seeks reelection, will have opposition
at the polls next Tuesday. Mr.. Vogl
states that he was prompted to enter
the race by a large number of friends,
who persistently urged him to become
a candidate, at the same time giving
him assurance of support.
Contests in Two Wards.
As a result of Mr.. Vogl's entrance
into the race, there will be two con-
tests at the city election, next Tuesday,
the other being in the Third ward,
where William S. Vercoe and Charles
Kuehlbach are the opposing candi-
dates. Councillor Otto F. Oswald
has no opposition for reelection lin
the First ward, and as Saturday was
1.-The last day for fling nominating
petitions of candidates, Mr.. Oswald
will finish in a walk.
Yesterday (Tuesday) was registra.
tion day, but up to noon the judges OF
election, sitting as registration boards
in the three wards, had not been kept
very busy recording the names of new
voters. A heavy vote is anticipated
ESPECIALLY so in the Second and Thiro
wards, where there is opposition.
