4 NEW ULM AND VICINITY. They do say that "snipes" are maturing very fast. The Redwood county alliance have "resolved" in favor of prohibition and woman suffrage. The wheat harvest is now in progress and in another week but little will be left standioff. Our New Ulm mills are also having an elevator built at Luddon, D.

The one being constructed at Courtland is nearing completion. The Reveille is authority for the statement that Hon. O. B. Turreil, late candidate for congress in this district, is going into the banking business at Redwood Falls.

We un'i'jrstand tnat L. G. Davis, of Sleepy and Ben. Juni, of New Ulm, arj oonten.liu with Mr. Velikanje for the Republican nomination of upt of schools.

Eugene Kcehler aud Miss Emilie Baumler were joined in the holy bonds of wedlock on Tuesday evening of last week. The REVIEW extends congratulations. The Empire mill has been shut down for a few days and is undergoing a thorough overhauling. The outside of the mill is being dressed in a new coat of paint. The New Ulna City mill has also ohut down for a few days.

The First regiment, encamped at White Bear Lake, qualified 25 sharp shooters and 141 marksmen. The Second regiment, encamped at New Ulm, qualified 55 sharpshooters and 159 marksmen. Comment is unnecessary. Only three ladies availed themselves of their privilege to express their choice in the election of school trustees. It is quite evident our New Ulm ladies are no very great advocates of female suffrage.

Mankato Free Press-Mr. M. B. Haynes, of Mankato, is hard at work on the Brown county map which he is soon to issue, and the people of that county can calculate to a nicety that they will get something reliable and desirable. Wm.

Pfsender, came up from St. Paul Sunday morning to spend a few days with friends and relatives in this city, but on the same day he received a telegram that after his departure Saturday night burglars had broken into his store and made off with goods valued several hundred dollars. He returned to St. Paul Sunday evening. Hon.

James E. Child, the prohibition candidate for governor and editor of the Waseca Herald, is astonisned that the people of New Ulm should drink beer aud yet remain sober and orderly. The secret of it is, Child, the peo- ple do not drink to excess, and if all people followed their example there would be no calling for the prohibitionists. During the storm on the night ot the hth inst. the house andj granary of Michael Young, at Oshawa, were struck by lightning and consumed.

The house stood close to tlie railroad track and passengers coming in on the early tiam on the morning of the 9th reported that the family had perished in tls) flames, but happily the rumor was not founded on fact. Tne Minnesota G. A. R. delegates to the National encampment at San Francisco departed for the Pacific coast yesterday The party consisted of over one hundred grand army men and many were accompanied by their ladies.

The party will return via the Northern Pacific railroad and will be absent from six weeks to two months. The railroad fare for the round trip, not including sleepers, is $71,00. According to the Herald, a number of prominent citizens of Sleepy Eye werejtaken in for $5 and $10, respectively, by sharpers connected with the Creston circus. A crowd gathered and proposed to clean out the whole concern, but the gamblers took the hint and made themselves scarce. They were so badly frightened by the Sleepy Eye people that they never stopped running until they had got way beyond New Ulm, Mr.

H. Steffens, of Stillwater, who came to our city on Tuesday morning ot last week as a representative to the grand lodge 0. d. H. but was taken sick while en route and on his arrival here conveyed to Pfefferle's residence and thence to St.

Alexander hospital, died at 8 o'clock last Saturdayjevening. Inflammation of the brain was the cause of his death. He was about 35 years old, unmarried, and kept ta saloon in Stillwater. He boarded with a married sister, who, m'company of her husband, was "with him at the time of his death. We understand that he complained of feeling unwell when he left home, but he did not apprehend anything serious.

His remains were shipped to Stillwater on the Sunday evening train, the members of the New Ulm lodges Sons of Hermann and I. O. 0. Y. escorting the body from the depot, i Indian summer in the middle of July.

But where does all this smoke come from? The large new hospital building is nearing completion. It is a handsome structure and no mistake. Milwaukee has the National Sasngerfest this week. The Chicago Northwestern railroad will sell round trip tickets at one half fare. NEW ULM No.

We understand that Martin Penning, of the town of Home, is just having completed one of the finest and most eompltte residences in Brown county a sure sign that practical farming pays. Mr. C. W. H.

Heideman of this city is the representative of the Ninth judicial district on the anti-Kelly-Doran committee. If all the members of the committee are as aggressive as Mr. the wool will fly sure. Mr. C.

B. Todd, brother of W. M. Todd of the Redwood Reveille, is one of the twelve jurymen selected to pass judgment on the anarchists now undergoing trial at Chicago. C.

B. was at one time a mail agent on the Winona and St. Peter railroad and later a resident ot Marshall, but he has resided in Chicago for the past five or six years. Capt. J.

Stenarson, secretary of the Kaw Life Insurance of St, Paul, andW. H. Smith, the general agent of the company, are still in the city and have succeeded in taking quite a number of risks. The plan under which the company operates is equitable and safe, and anyone wishing good, reliable insurance at low rates should take out a policy in the Kaw. Company of Mankato is moving for an armory, and all they ask of the citizens in the way of pecuniary aid is a lease for a term of years of a suitable tract of laud, This is the least the people of Mankato can do, and we hope they will do it cheerfully.

Mankato is becoming an important manufacturing point and railroad center and it is for its own interest that an efficient military company be maintained in its midst. The Swiss singing society of Minneapolis held forth at Turner Hall last Sunday evening to a fair As the visit was mostly of a social character, Mr. P. Soherer, as president si the Turnverem, extended a cordial welcome to the Minneapolitans. An appropriate reply was made by one of the The programme was quite well executed and all present seemed to be well pleased with the entertainment.

The Creston New Railroad Shows, which exhibited in this city last Thursday, is by no means the poorest on the road. makes no great pretension with the menagarie, but the ring performance is better than we have seen in many larger and more pretentious shows. Several new features were introduced and all the actors seemed to be well up in their business. The manager and all qonnected with the show deported themselves with all due decorum and, us lar as we know, no gambling was attempted. Garret De Winkle, lodged in the Brown county jail for shooting Jerome Swift, at Marshall, on the morning of July 4th, was taken to Marshall Wednesday and brought Judge Weymouth, on a charge of murder, his victim having died from the effects of the bullet wound in his head on ihe morning of the 13th.

No evidence for the defense was submitted, and no aro-uments offered. The prison was remanded to jail at New Ulna without bail, to await trial at the 3ecember term of court Lyon couTy, before Judge Webber. The attorne' for the prisoner will endeavor to shcuv at the trial that the shooting was do ae in self defense, the prisoner thinking Swift meant him oodilv harm arm and walking him off. A iking his The Rewitzer-Baar scrimmage, which occurred in the lower part of the city about twelve days ago, possessed more of the ludicrous than the serious. It appears that both families reside in the same house, and both women are owners of a number of chicken's.

The Baar woman accused her neighbor of appropiating eggs, the production of the Baar hennery. Thiswith eggs at 7 cents a dozenwas more than Mrs. Rewitzer could digest and she forthwith assumed a belligerent attitude. The day was hot, but the battle which ensued withered the thermometers within a radius of two blocks. The combatants were finally seperated and Mrs.

B. retired from the field disabled. Mrs. R. was conveyed to the lockup to await results.

Last Saturday she was brought before justice Fischer and sentenced to 10 days' confinement in the sentence was made retroactive and she was given her freedom yesterday. Miss Ida Chads, of Lake Benton, has teen arrested on a charge of firing the houses of W. W. and L. M.

Townsend. Jealousy is said to have caused the girl to do the deed. The county commissioners met last Monday as a board of equalization, but without transacting any business adjourned until Aug. 9th. The board meets next Mondav as commissioners.

Geo. Leatherman of Lone Tree Lake has for sale a number of half Holstein spring calves. He will sell them at from $15 to $25 each for cash or trade them for common stock. From Geo. Leather nan, who was in this city yesterday, we learn that Mr.

Philander Lee, of the town of Home, died last Sunday. Mr. Lee has been in pooi health for a long time. MARRIEDAt the residence of the bride's parents, in the city of New Ulm, Monday, July 19. 1886, by Justice R.

Fischer, R. P. A. Nix and Miss Helen Kiesling, both of New Ulm. The REVIEW extends congratulations.

Mr. John Arhard, of West Newton, apprehended an escaped lunatic from the St. Peter asylum one day last week. He brought him to this city about one o'clock the following night and placed him in charge of sheriff Schmidt. Tne asylum autnorities were notified and they sent a man after him.

Patrick H. Flinn, the young man shot by the Gibbon constable about eleven months ago, died from the effects of the wound on the 11th inst. An autopsy disclosed the ball imbedded in the seat of the brain, in the region of the forehead, near where it had entered. How Flinn survived his injury so long is a miracle. The Flag of Zwitzerland and the stars and stripes waved from the residence of W.

Boesch and Hottinger's saloon Sunday and honor of the visiting Switzers from Minneapolis. The residents of Wiesenthal never do things by halves, and this mark of esteem must have been very pleasing to the visitors. Jas. Header an engineer on the Winona and St. Peter railroad, came to his death in a singular manner one night last week.

He was sitting in a window in the second story of a Tracy hotel, when he lost his balance and fell to the ground. The concussion was such as to cause his death in a few moments. He was about 35 years old and had a wife and one child. Adjourned Meeting of the Board of Education, New Ulm, held July 14th, 1886. Meeting pursuant to adjournment.

Present: full Board, except Mr. Pahl, who was absent. Meeting called to order by the President and minutes of meeting of July 2d, 1886, read and approved. Bill of Math. Mueller, whitewashing and repairing, $16,00, and bill of Ruemke Schapekahm, $1,00, were referred to building committee for investigation.

Bill of Jos. A. for drawing deeds, was allowed and ordered paid. Treasurer, Mr. Geo.

Doeline's report, filed with the clerk, was then submitted and examined and after having the several items contained in same, carefully compared with books of the Clerk and Treasurer, it was found correct and ordered to be approved by the Board. Then Board proceeded to examine and compare orders paid by Treasurer during the last year and found them correct as follows: Interest cupons redeemed and paid $1,500,00 Orders redeemed and this day cancelled 10,540,44 Cash in Treasury deposited at Bank 6,291,11 Total $18331,55 Mr. Fr.

S. New Ulm Gets the Monument. The session of the grand lodge of Minnesota of the order of Sons of Hermann which convened in this city on the morning of the 13th inst terminated at noon on the day following. The, names of the delegates and other members of the order present appeared in these columns last week. The business meetings were held in Union Hall, with closed doors, and an account of much of the business transacted would be interesting only to the members of the order.

One of the most important matters of public interest that came up for consideration was the determination of the question as to which city in the State was most entitled to the projected monument to Hermann. The question was finally decided in favor of New Ulm and the duty'of selecting a site and superintending the erection of the monument was delegated to a special committee consisting of Geo. Benz, J. C. Haupt, H.

Orleman and Wm. Theobald, St. Paul, Aug. Noerenberg and A. Gau, Minneapolis, E.

Krneger, Stillwater, John Hauenstein and Julius Berndt, New Ulm. Hon. Geo. Benz was delegated as custodian of the monument fund. Julius Berndt was appointed secretary of the committee and John Hauenstein local treasurer.

The grand lodge appropriated $500 to the monument fund and Washington Lodge No. 1, of St. Paul, made a donation of $200, with a promise of more. All subordinate lodges in the State have given promises of pecuniary aid, and the construction of the monument at an early day seems now reasonably sure. The plan and specifications submitted by Mr.

Berndt of this city were approved and adopted, the estimated cost of the monument being $23,000. The following officers vwere elected for the ensuing year: Grand President, E. A. Gau, Minneapolis. Grand Vice-President, "Aug.

Poehler, Henderson. Grand Secretary, A. Nauman, St. Paul. Grand Treasurer, A.

Walter, St. Paul. Executive Committee, Aug.Noerenberg, Minneapolis Emil Krueger, Stillwater Ed. Hammer, St. Paul.

The next annual meeting of the Grand lodge will be held at St. Peter on the second Tuesday in July 1887. During Wednesday afternoon the visiting delegates and many of our citizens picnicked on Hermann's Heights, and a right enjoyable time they had. Nearly all the delegates took their departure for home on the Wednesday evening down train. Annual School Meeting, The annual school meeting for the independent district of New Ulm was held at Turner Hall Saturday July 17th, 1886, at 7 o'clock p.

The meeting was largely attended, about one-third of the legal voters in the city being present The meeting was called to order by Mr. Fr. Burg, the president of the board of education. Mr. E.

G. Koch, the clerk of the board, acted as scribe. The clerk presented the following leport of treasurer: TREASURER'S REPORT.

G. Kocn, Dist. Clerk. On motion, the reports of the treasurer and clerk were accepted, they having already been approved by the board of education. The chair now announced that the next business in order was the election of two members of the board, vice Burg and Friedman, time expired.

Up to this juncture not the slightest ripple had appeared upon the surface, but the atmosphere suddenly became murky when Geo. Jacobs arose and advocated the election of only such men as were wholly free from entanglement with sectarian schools. This brought Rev. Mr. Albrecht and Mr.

Fr. Boock to their feet, who very justly argued that every tax payer and legal voter had a voice and vote in the meeting. The meeting, volcano like, was ready for an eruption, but the chair very properly proceeded to the nomination of candidates before any one had the opportunity to light the fuse. Messrs. Fr.

Burg, Fr. Friedman, Dr. C. Weschcke, Fr. Boock and Fr.

Schubert were placed in nomination for members of the board of education. Mr. Burg, having been a member of the board for ten years, declined to allow the use of his name. The chair appointed Wm. Frank and Theo.

Kobarsch as tellers and Jos. Bobieter and J. B. Velikanje as judges of election. The meeting then proceeded to vote, it having first been decided to keep the polls open for half an hour.

The vote resulted as follows: Total number of votes cast, 257 of which Dr. C. Weschcke received 164 Fr. Friedman, 156 Fr. Boock 90 Fr.

Schubert 96 Fr. Burg 3 The chair declared Messrs. Weschcke and Friedman duly elected. The announcement was greeted with applause. On motion of Mr.

E. Pahl, a vote of thanks was unanimously tendered Mr. Burg for his faithful and efficient services while a member of the board. Mr. Burg thanked the meeting for their kindly expression and hoped that the incoming administration may be as successful in the maintenance of good schools as the old board had been.

He also hoped that the people generally would take a deeper interest in the schools and thus lend encouragement to the board of education. Mr. Scherer then stated that if anv one had any doubts as to the correctness of the treasurer's report it would be in order to move the appointment of a committee to examine the treasurer's books and accounts. As no motion was made tothat effect, it is presumable that allwere satisfied as to the correctness of the report. The minutes of the meeting: were then read and approved and the meeting adjourned.

PERSONAL MENTION. Messrs. Wm. Koch, Geo. Doehne, John Neuman and H.

Rudolphi have gone to Milwaukee to attend the National Ssengerfest. C. Rasmussen, publisher of the "Illustrated Ugeblad," the only Scandinavian illustrated weekly the United States, was a caller at the REVIEW sanctum Monday. Mr. Armond Steinhauser, a typo on the St.

Volkszeitung, is home on a week's vacation. Armond says "After all, there is no place like New Ulm for good, solid comfort." All of which goes to show that Armond's head is still properly poised. The Misses Gertrude and Louisa Baasen, daughters of Col. F. Baasen, came back from St.

Paul last week where they have been visiting relatives and friends for the past three months. D.WERT (Successor toE. E. Seiter I take pleasure in informing the people of NewUlm and vicinity that I have assumed charge of the well-known art gallery until recently conducted by Mr. E.
