Pheasant Season
Boon to Fuel Men


New Ulm-"Believe me, boy, !
know when the pheasant season
starts" remarks "Cole" Herrian,
who is in charge of the big gener-
ators and other mysterious ap-
pliance of the New Ulm gas plant.
"When they start putting roasters
full of birds in the oven all over
town, then's when we have to get
busy"
"When the boys 60 out and
bump off a big string of pheasants
they divide them up among the
neighbors. Then the housewives
get busy and shoot the birds into
the ovens. That's when the con-
sumption of gas and electricity
goes up

Is Minnesota a sSwede
Slater No, Germans
Outnumber Others

In spite of frequent illusions
to the Gopher football team as
"the Swedes" and references to
Minnesota as a "Swede state" de-
scendents of settlers from the
land of Gustavus Adolphus are
outnumbered in the states popu-
lation.
What foreign country contri-
butes the largest share of the
states population? Germany, says
r. w. Murchie and NJ. E. Jar
chow, two rural sociologists from
the University Of Minnesota in a
new bulletin issued by the Agri-
cultural Experiment station.
According to Ine figures cited
by these two authorities Germans
and descendents of Germans
numbered 327, ,785. There are 270,-
773 Swedes and children of
Swedes in the state and Norway's
sons and daughters number 267,-
912. Following in order of size
among the population groups are
the British (including Scots and
Irish), French and Slavs. A total
of 1,424,657 of the states residents
are either foreign born or of fore
ign-born parentage.
The study by the University
sociologists showed a number of
interesting findings. For one thing
it was found that where the
Swedes are, the Norwegians
aren't" confirming the tradition
al rivalry of the two races. Mark
ed tendencies for the other ma
tional groups to concentrate in
certain localities are also very
evident.

STOLE 80 SUITS
AT WINDOW STORE
Culprits Made Getaway; Loss
Estimated at Nearly
$2,4OO

Windom-Thieves broke into
the Muller Clothing store at Win
dom last week and stole 80 suits
of clothes, the value of which was
approximately $2,400.
The robbery, it is believed. was
committed shortly after 9 p. m.
since it was at that time that pass
erbys noticed car parked in the
alley, but because of the early
hour, had no reason to believe
that it might be robbery. The
loss was discovered by Mr.. Null
Ter at 1890 p. m.
Another unusual fact regarding
the robbery was that entrance to
the building was made through a
transom above the front door. The
Muller store is one of the hardest
places in Window to rob, aside
from the banks, because all the
back doors and windows are pro-
tected by iron bars. The narrow
aperture above the front door was
the only place where entrance
could be made with comparative
ease.
Immediately on learning of the
i robbery, word was broadcast over
KIND and several parties were
picked up by authorities and held
for questioning. AS yet the cul-
prits have not yet been found.
The work was believed to be
that of gang, who have been
plying their racket at clothing
stores recently. Only a short time
ago similar robberies were report
ed at Estherville, Iowa and Alex
andria.

Horse Thief In
Jail At Wadena

Fairmont-Lee R. Robbins, who
was sentenced in Martin county
several years ago for stealing five
horses and mules from the Fair
mont Canning company and who
served time on that charge, is in
prison again.

arrested Robbins and Adolph
Walberg after the theft of the
horses, received word from the
State Bureau of Criminal Appre-
hension at ST. Paul that Robbins
was arrested recently at Wadena
on a charge of grand larceny and
was sentenced not to less than
seven years. Robbins has an ex-
tensive crime record, dating back

Ran Over By Car;
Little Girl Unhurt

Struck by an auto
mobile as she was crossing the
street, little Ruth Simmons of
Fairmont escaped with minor in
juries, although her head shatter-
ed headlight of the car.
Arnold Kanning, who was driv-
ing the car at moderate speed,
thinks a wheel of the car ran over
the girl, but Ruth, jumping up af-
ter it passed, said she wasn't hurt
a bit. There was a slight bump
on the child's head, but she didn't
want to go to a doctor in spite of
urging by the driver and group
of excited children. The driver
stopped almost instantly.
No one could explain how the
child could have been hit SO hard
on the head as to break the thick
glass of the headlight with such
slight injury to herself.

woman Thought Dead
Returns To Daughters

Farmington-After a period of
21 years in which Mrs. Howard
Rude of st. Paul was thought
dead, she returned to Pennington
to visit her daughters. The older
of the two daughters, who was
four years old at the time of sep
aration, recognized her mother
when she saw her. Years ago the
family of Mrs. Rude was struck
with misfortune and the girls,
two and four, were put in an or
phanage. Later they found homes
with families who treated them
as their own children. The moth
er, whom the daughters believed
to have died during the flu epi-
demic, remarked. Recently she
decided to return to visit her
daughters, who are now both
married and have families. The
reunion was a happy one.

ing to Mr.. Beresford's outlook,
varied according to the market
classes of beef animals. During the
four months about half as many
feeder cattle, 900 pounds and up,
have gone from the central mar
kets into feeding lots as were
moved into lots last year. This
would suggest that the demand for
such cattle when finished might
be rather strong and favorable to
the feeder.
The numbers of light weight
feeder cattle, 700 pounds and un-
der, except calves weighing 400
pounds and less, have been about
the same as last year. This type
of feeder, however, is costing the
buyer about so to 100 per cent
more than in the fall of 1884. Be-
cause of this, the selling price and
resulting profit to the feeder is not
likely to be so favorable, particu-
larly on animals of low quality
and which have been fed on coar-
Sc feeds. Fewer calves of weight
of 400 pounds and less are going
out to feeders, and such calves
carried on for the late summer
and fall market in 1897 may prove
profitable to the feeder.
An uncommonly large number
of lambs will be on feed this win
ter, with Minnesota particularly
showing a large increase over that
of last year. This, stated Mr..
Beresford, may result in some
weakening of the fat lamb mar
ket from January to March. Agri-
cultural sections outside the corn
belt will probably fatten more
cattle and lambs this year than
usual.

u Farm Speaker Predicts
Hog Prices Will Increase

A rising hog market for the
summer and fall months of 1897
was the prediction of Rex Beres-
ford, extension animal husband
man who spoke before the ap-
proximately 800 livestock feeders,
who attended the Swine and Cat
tie Feeders day program held re-
Gently at University Farm, st.
Paul.
Discussing the outlook for live
stock feeders, Mr.. Beresford based
his prophecy on the fact that the
prospective number of hogs to 60
to market after January 1, 1887,
would be relatively small.

EDITORIALS
WHITE NEWSPAPERS AND THE NEGRO

AT the meeting of the National Negro Congress
Chicago the discussed the biased
attitude of certain white daes toward the Negro. Hearst
papers in particular criticized for the unsympathetc
in which they treat many stories pertaining to
alleged crimes by coored people, together with the appar
emily prejudiced viewpoint occasionally displayed
issues in Arthur Brisbane's writings.
Delegates the Congress also lamented the that
coored citizens daily buy and read that
prejudiced against spite of the fact that in Detroit
elsewhere of these papers times discriminate
against coored newsdeaers in favor of rival white dealers
in certain localities
One of the Detroit delegates to the Congress pointed out
unsympahetic attitude Negroes proof
assertion he cited article the life and family back
ground of Louis, which he said published
Detroit News Sept 20 and 80 In this article the delegate
stated undue emphasis placed the white blood in
Joes veins which he interpreted effort discount
fighters Negro blood.
Whatever attitude white daies may manifest concern
ing group is evident that their
policies OF protest those papers which
appear unfrendly toward and refuse to patron
those which persist in stimulating hatred against
people and discriminate against colored newsdeaers
In the final analysis however must learn depend
more and upon newspapers and give them
larger larger patronage enough send them
items for in order to succeed in rendering greater
service newspapers should receive larger share
advertising support from the and business people
the group larger number of subscriptions from the
masses.
White people busy with their problems to
spend time in trying fair consideration for
from their newspapers. Furthermore the average white
editor knows that no matter biased his attitude toward
us may be- many thousands of people who will
houghtessy buying and reading his in
preference to our own expect other people
more for than willing to do for ourselves.

Protests to Mr.. Pieriot were al
so made this week by the local
branch of the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Col
ored People, of which l.. G..
Blount is president. The organi-
zation was notified of the segre-
CATION Monday, by individuals
attending the lecture.
Mr.. Israels, who is an intimate
friend of Emperor Halle Selassie
and has spent several years in
Ethiopia, predicts that the war will
eventually be won by Ethiopia, not
so much because of the fighting
prowess of the native warriors
and the superiority of military
genius and equipment, but largely
on account of the natural barriers
of mountains in the North and de-
serts in the South with which the
Italian invaders are confronted,
together with the handicaps pre-
scented in the form of torrential
floods and impossible fields of
mud caused by the rainy season.
The speaker further declared that
the extremely hot weather in
Ethiopia often registering as high
as 40 in the shade, causes much
suffering among the Italians, with
heavy toll of sickness and death
among them.
Mr.. Israels also stated that En-
peror Selassie is one of the most
astute itatesmen of to-day, and
that in event of his death during
the present crisis, the Italians
would have little difficulty in con-
quering Ethiopia. The realization
Of this fact, he believe, is why the
italians are so anxiously trying to
kill him, by bombing the cities
where the Emperor is thought TO
have his headquarters.
When asked about the racial
identity of the Philippians, Mr..
Israels stated tina the dominant
cast of Philippians of which En-
peror Selassie is a type, vigorous
ly deny that they are members OF
the Negro race, although he said
there are many of the Natives who
are Negroes. including about 7OO,-
600 slaves. Children of slaves, how
ever, under a decree issued by the
Emperor several years ago, are
recognized as free citizens and are
being educated in an effort to help
them adjust themselves to civiliza-
, tion and participate in the citizen
ship life of the country, SAID the
lecturer.

Young Craftsmen Make
Progress At Garfield School

Do you remember during your
school days, finishing your work
in class ahead of everyone else
and waiting restlessly for the
rest to catch up? This does not
happen in Mr.. Lind's Mechanical
Drawing class at Garfield, for
every boy there progresses at his
own rate of speed.
On Wednesday. Ernest Moore
was working on a two point per-
spective drawing, Robert Mark
hume was drawing a sandpaper
block, James Winfield was busy
with a drill jig body drawing,
Theodore Shelley with a bottom
guide, and Emmett Starks with a
bracket. These and $50 other
ninth grade boys give one hour a
day getting an introduction to
this study.
Everything manufactured today
has first been carefully and ac-
curately drawn on paper. The
thousands of parts Of an automo-
bile are first made the subject of
a drawing. All good mechanics
therefore, whether in the building
or machine trades must under
stand the language of mechanical
drawing. Also, everyman, no mat
ter what his occupation, will
probably, sometime in life, have a
general knowledge of this funda-
mental science.
The boys start with lettering
