NEW ULM - - - - MINN.

Such was the Blizzard that Struck us Un­expectedly last Wednesday.

The Damage in New Ulm will Amount to Several Thousand Dolla.ii.

Old-timers who were permitted to ex­perience the terrors of the March bliz­zard of 1865 are all of one opinion now and that is, that, if the howling, screech, ing s'uorm that fanned us with cold air last Wednesday was not the worst in their recollection, it was certainly enti­tled to second honors. k The storm started in on Tuesday night, or about the time that Joe Whee-lock from the thirteenth story of the Pioneer Press building was opening an editorial on the "balmy air, the mild nights when nothing freezes and unmis­takable signs of an early spring,'" and throughout the whole of the following day, the wind blew at a terrific rate. A light snow fell all the while and the fierce gale seemed to give a stinging force to every flake. So thick too was the air at times that one could hardly see across the street,while the indiscreet individual who ventured out of doors was blinded by the elfish frenzy of the driving snow and wind.

Had the ground been covered with loose snow to any considerable depth the storm would have been far more terrible in its effects, but as it was the warm sun of the day before had dried the ground and left nothing but dust and the flakes that were falling for the whirling wind to play with. But even this was bad enough. Signs creaked and were dashed to pieces before the mad swiil which enveloped the city, awnings were torn to tatters, window panes crashed, chimneys and windmills toppled over ana loose barrels and lum­ber wore scattered as if in a cyclone.

Blowing as it was at the rate of sixty miles an hour, anything that the wind could catch hold of was torn fiom it., resting place and smashed to pieces. The lumber in PeteiScherer's yard was rudely disturbed and piled up in a heap. The roof on Mrs.Simmon's house near the Catholic church was torn oft; one corn­er of Baptiste Karl 's brick building on South Minnesota Street was blown away; the smoke stacks on the electric light station and the Van Dusen Elevat­or were likewise brought to the ground and so also was the barn of John Sieb-ert and the windmill at the college. A car, standing on the trestle work near the Eagle MU1 was picked up and dashed to pieces on the ground twenty feet below. The iron roof on the Eagle Mill elevator was ripped up together with the iron fence on the mill, while at the new Catholic church some of the new and expensive windows were blown in and broken, the damage at each place amounting to nearly §1,000. At Hornburg's store, at the hotels and at iiiany other places window panes were also made the play-things of the wind's fury. Buildings in all parts of the city shook and rocked before the fearful gale.

The Vinegar VvorKs however suffered most. There the large brick stack was blown over and sent crashing through the roof and all three floors, breaking joists, vinegar pits and everything in its way. The steam pipes were all twisted so that no steam could be supplied for the protection of vinegar in any part of the building, and the loss to the owners will foot up at least S3,000. The deb­ris caused by the fall presented an in­teresting scene. Considerable time will necessarily be required to make com­plete repairs, but luckily the loss is well covered with insurance. *

In Lafayette the windmills of Jos. Diepolder, P. Simmet, Mrs. Lohmann and M Jensen were blown down by the storm and in Cottonwood those of Mar­tin Mohr, John Gaetke, M. Gabriel, Jos. Schaefer, Wm, Schrap, Henry Fort-wengler and J . H.Mohr.

WHO WILL THE CANDIDATE BE?

The Gubernatorial Problem Continues to be a Perplexing Puzzle.

The Pioneer Press of Monday sizes up the political situation as relates to the governorship, but it appears that ma t ­ters political have as yet taken but l i t­tle form. The Press says:

If the impressions of the people of the state who stop at the hotels in St. Paul are to be taken as any criterion, the political sentiment, throughout the state seems to be crystallizing, so far as the governorship is concerned,into three elements, Nelson, Lind and Ives, with» strength in the order named. The talk of the northern part of the state seems to be decidedly Nelson, for "what they consider the strong vote-getting quali­

ties of the little giant of Alexandria. In the southern part of the state there is a movement for Lind and Ives, and the friends of these two gentlemen are urging the candidacy of their respective friends over that of the gentleman from the north. A St Paul man who has travelled somewhat extensively over the southern part of the stats during the past week, in the course of his business talking with leading politicians, states that in the Second district the sentiment appears to be strong for Lind for gover­nor and Ives for congress, while many would prefer to see Lt. Gov. Ives lead the Republican hosts to victory in the state election and give Representative CB.Turrell of Jtedwood Falls a chance to make the m n for congress. As mat­ters seem to be shaping themselves how ever, Gov. Ives would rather mn for con­gress than for governor, and while he has not yet made any definite choice, and does not care to state, his position at present, he is recognized as one of the strongest congressional possibilities in the Republican party.

"But while the Lind sentiment in the southern part of the state appears to be <stiong," said the Pioneer Press inform­ant, "it is not clamorous,for the reason that a greac many of Mr. Lind's friends accept his statement that he is going out of politics to mean not merely that he will not accept a renomination for con­gress, but will not accept any other political office. I t is this feel­ing which gi\ es Mr. Ives some of his strength,and there is also a feeling that Knute Nelson would be very acceptable, and in case Lind does not desire the nomination the votes of the delegates would be thrown to the Alexandria man. In other words, the politicians are waiting for an expression from their leaders. When this comes they will know what to d'i, and the Republicans will be prepared to go into the battle to win."

A MUD WALK AT SLEEPY EYE.

I t is Eeported as the Greatest Event of Many Years in our Neighboring

Town.

Barring the profuse use ot adjectives and the oyer-induigence in exaggeration the following from the Minneapolis Tribune is a pretty good account of the daring mud-walk which occurred in Sleepy Eye last Tuesday:

Last Tuesday this city was the scene of a teat which shook the community from center to circumference. Noth­ing like it has been seen on this conti­nent since the antediluvian monsters wallowed in primeval mudholes. It was a mud walk, by the side of which the most brilliant and elite cake walk pales into neutral insignificance.

But to begin at the beginning, Slee­py Eye has always been proud of Dr. J . P. James. He is an Adonis, a Belvi-dere, a lulu, than which society here has no brighter light. In the morning his shoes shine like the posterior por­tion of an Afro-American citizen's foot. His neckties have all the purity and brilliancy of a matutinal rainbow. His shirt front dazzles the eye. Thus was the man.

The way the "mud walk"came about was this: Numerous small wagers were made with different parties as to their ability or willingness to cross the mud­dy street. A bet was finally arranged with Dr. James by which he was to be paid $2 if, dressed in his"Sunday best" he would walk, using neither rubbers, overshoes nor rubber boots, from the center of one crossing the length of the block to the center of the other crossing in a direct line.

He was to put up $5 as a guarantee of gpod faith and only incidentally for publication. If sickness prevented the proposed pedestrian feat, the doctor was to lose his bet. Several posters appeared during the day and these, in their fiery eloquence, stirred up the ucolic breast for miles around. When the hour came for the performance, ev­ery man, woman and child in the city of the slumbering orb was present, and the farmers and their wives throughout the surrounding country swelled the vast concourse. Special trains and conyeyances from surrounding towns brought in loads of spectators.

Promptly at 2 o'clock the band struck up a march and Dr. F . P . James, pre­ceded by four men each with an um­brella spread over them and followed by a small boy ringing a cow-bell with all his might, began to measure the depth of the mud in the mam block of the city, and he accomplished his mud­dy task amidst series of the wildest "thussy mussy" on the part of the vast concourse on the sidewalks. Accord­ingly he received the $2 as per agree­ment.

NOW FOR THE OTHER SIDE.

The Sleepy Eye Herald says Sam Steinke Returned to Give Himself up.

He has been Working in Chicago ever since his Mysterious Disappearance.

In the Sleepy Eye Herald of this week, an account appears relative to Sam Steinke's arrest and quite a differ­ent interpretation is given to it from that in the other papers. We give it herewith:

Last September, Sam Steinke of the firm of Steinke 6 Steinmetz left for unknown parts and his business inter­ests were in an unsatisfactory condition to the different machine companies that the firm badjbeen dealing with. During all the time intervening noth­ing had been heard of him until about Feb. 23rd. Mr. Herman Fixsen of Morgan, having just returned from Chicago, informed Messrs. Wm. and August Steinke that he had | seen Sam in Chicago. This was a surprise to the brothers and a day or two later August boarded the east bound train for the World's Fair City in search for his brother. After arriving there he made a search and found him situated just as was stated by Mr. Fixsen. Sam was informed that he was wanted at home and after a thorough understanding Sam decided to return and face the in­dictments now standing against him and his partner, John Steinmetz. Both biothers arrived at home last Thursday evening and Sam went out into the country to visit relatives. August came home and conferred with his brothers and it was decided to go to New Ulm Monday morning to satisfy the indict­ment until court convenes by wiving suitable bonds. All day Sunday, March 6th, Sam was in Sleepy Eye. John Steinmetz was informed of this fact and requested to go and have a definite un­derstanding with his former partner in regard to the case. He refused to have a conference but wont to New Ulm and swore out a warrant for Sam's arrest-The Sheriff immediately drove up from New Ulm and made a search (which by the way was unnecessary) and finally found his man at Springfield. He was taken before the authorities and his brothers went on his bonds in the sum of $800 and he wis released.

The indictment for embezzlement against the two men, Sam Steinke is John Steinmetz, equally criminate both, and their case will come before the court in June. The complaining wit­nesses against the firm are Aultman, Miller & Co,, who have an account ot $1,160 against them, Weir Plow Works, Studebacker Wagon Co., and Puttie & Neff of Mankato who also have accounts against the firm.
