BOY TRIES SUICIDE.

George Woodruff Of Lake Crystal,
aged Ia, tried to commit suicide on
account Of disappointment in love.
The boy was taken to Mankato BY
Chief Of Police Ben. Davis and Mayor
p. J. Davis Of Lake Crystal after the
act. Woodruff was asked why he at
tempted suicide and said that he had
written something on the black board
which displeased his teacher. Miss
Peterson, and he had feared that PROT.
y. M. Snyder would find it out, who
had befriended him in a great many
ways, as q result, he got to feeling worry
about the writing and wanted d to put
an end to it. He wrote a letter to the
professor, saying that he intended
taking his: life, and requested that it be
given to his mother when she asked for
him. He also stated that no one would
miss him or have another thought
about him. Prof. Snyder imme diately
summoned the chief Of police upon re-
ceipts Of the. letter, and the boy was
discovered before he had ended his
life. He admitted d taking several kinds
Of dope, which he had found in the
laboratory Of the high school and he
then said it did not make him sick and
he had gone to the drug store for rat
poison, but the clerk refused to sell
him any. Young Woodruf'is a bright
lad and we'll liked BY all who know him,
and. his mother is q very estimable
woman, who teaches school near Lake
Crystal. It is hoped, that all will
overlook his desperate deed and help
him forget that which he has done, and
make the world much brighter for him.

gent request that he again become a

.ly not: be, any contest, while if he would
decide. to retire. at the end Of his
present term, hard-fought battle
between two. or more candidates would
.undoub btedly result, with. all the att
tendant excitement and complications
incident ltoa strenuous campaign.
After listening to the delegation, the
genial Doctor stated definitely that he
would accede to their wishes, but that
it. must be taken as final that this
would be the last time that he would
allow his name to be used in connection
with the candidacy for mayor, as the
duties Of the office compel him to make
many personal sacrifices.
Petition Filed Soon.
It may be stated as q settled, fact,
therefore, that Dr.. Fritsche''s nomi ma

filed soon. 1t will be remembered
that he was elected two years ago by
majority Of 457 votes, after one OF the
hardest fought political battles New
Ulm has ever seen. s..

whether or not there will be other
aspirants to the office Of. mayor, but 1lt
we feel safe in stating, that no one will

TWO DRAY LINES
ARE MERGED J. HERE
HEINEN & ABRAHAM ACQUIRE
81. INTERESTS OF HELD &
HAEBERLE.
LOCAL FIELD is TOO SMALL
FOR COMPETITION IN.
THIS LINE.

Negotiations that had been pending
for some. weeks past resulted in the
consolidation of the New Ulm Dray
Line with the City Dray Line here,
Monday, when Heinen & Abraham
acquired the interests; of Held & Haze
berle, both personal and real property,
in the latter concern. The consollda-
ton becomes effective today (Wednes-
day., when the actual transfer of the
business will take place.
Real Estate in Deal.
With the purchase Of the City Dray
Line, Messrs. Heinen & Abraham have
secured possession of the old Herman
Nagel residence property at the corner
of Valley and First South streets. The
deal includes also the freight hauling
and moving of household goods here
tofore carried on by Messrs. Held &
,Haeberle, but the latter retain their.
business Of hauling sand, gravel, rub
bish, etc, and will also continue to do
street grading work as heretofore. The
latter department has been one Of their
most important enterprises during the
season in which such work is done. Ez'
Established Al Years Ago.
!. The City Dray Line was established
by the late Herman. Nagel here about
Al years ago and was later conducted
by his son, Alfred G. Nagel, who dis.
posed of the business to Held &
Haeberle about five years ago.
The New Ulm Dray Line has been
in existence for the past four years.
Both Messrs. Heinen and Abraham
are hustling young men and their
many friends will be pleased to learn
that they have succeeded in consolidate
ing the two local dray lines. @
Local Field Limited.
The local draying field is limited to
such an extent that there is not room
for competition, and the proprietors
of the rival concerns are to be con-
graduated upon their successful efforts
to merge them in, the interest Of
economy One dray line can very
well handle all Of the local freight
draying and hauling Of household
goods, especially with the modern
equipment used at the present time,
and Messrs. Heinen & Abraham give
every assurance that they will devote
their undivided attention to the busi-
ness, thus insuring prompt and efficient
service.

CHANGES AT WONDER STORE.

With an eye always to the com
venience of his many customers, P. A.
Becker of the Wonder Store has again
made extensive changes in that popular
place Of business. This time the count
ers along the north side in the rear
of the store have been removed to al
low more space for large display ables
in the center Of the floor, and to re-
move all obstacles to the shelves in the
china and glassware department. This
change makes all of the goods in that
section of the store more accessible
and will no doubt meet with general
approval: The entire kitchen-ware
department has been moved to the
Downstairs Store, where it is neatly
displayed, having more room to show
the goods. There are two large
double tables piled high with 10-cent
articles, while another large table con-
tains 15-cent goods. The Downstairs
Store also houses very complete all
year-round toy department, where
toys are on display every day. The
ever-increasing patronage which the
Wonder Store enjoys, has made these
changes necessary, and as a result the;
store has taken on regular big-city
appearance. A large variety of goods
is carried in stock at all times and
neatly displayed on the counters and
shelves. The sunshine spread by Mr..
Becker and his able and courteous
sales-force helps in no small measure
to attune the shoppers and make them
feel that they are welcome and will re-
ceive the best of service. w.

The owner could not make out what kind of an animal was doing this mischievous work, till one day. while riding through the brush he saw a COW which was turning all kinds of somersauits as if it was crazy. After a few minutes she fell down dead, there being no apparent reason for this wild behavior When the man came close. and while looking at it very thin snake came out-at least pulled out it's head and part of it's body-from the cows nostrils and started to crawl away from the place, when the man killed 1t. When he ex- amined the cows mouth he noticed that the tongue was eaten and almost cut off by the snake, which. crawling up her nose, could work at ease, while the COW was driven mad and

THE VERTICAL CITY.

By Fannie Hurst; Harper Bros, pub
 fishers. New York city.
 It is extremely difficult to cata- log Fannie Hurst's vertical City, In no sense of the word can it be re- garded as a conventional group of short stories. Every one of the six studies included in this group tram scends in form and content the usual formula for short fiction.
 Miss Hurst ignores the episode as a nucleus around which to create her tale She works in big themes, dis carding the merely anecdotal or the character skit as too slight for her salient pen. She makes an intensive study of group of people, carrying them over a period of 30 years as casually and as skillfully as If she had so instead of 5000 words in which to accomplish her effects.
 She defies the limitations of the short story, brilliantly forcing 1t to fit he larger purpose. And yet. in The Vertical City, the reader finds the humor. the pathos and the inevi- table 0. Henryness of her other short stories Also the vivid word and phrase which characterize the brief and pungent descriptive passages of
