~\ - Mr. Chas. L. Roos left for Stillwater r Monday to attend the meeting of the

State Pharmaceutical Association.

The sheriff's departments in the county jaii;are being renovated, car-

* penters and painters being employed at * them this week,

Mrs. Babtist Karl left last Thursday evening for Milwaukee, accompanied by Miss Emma Huebner, who will visit with her sister, Mrs. Rev. Schuh at Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.

The Union Hotel, which is doing a thriving business, has been renovated from top to bottom, and presents throughout a first-class, highly respect-

JjP able apppearance.

Miss Emma Scherer gave a pleasant interview to the Mixed Choir of the N. U. T. V. last Wednesday evening, who came to bid her adieu previous to her departure on a visit to Cincinnati, Ohio.

Another proof that it is good policy to raise full-blooded stock in preference to cheap grades was presented by Mr. John Koester of Linden, who bold last week one Berkshire and one Poland China hog, weighing together 1005 lbs. and demanding $4.85 per cwt.

The "New Ulm Post, in publishing the ^council proceedings last Friday, witb-

-m out authority appended the mayor's ap­proval to them, which placed the mat­ter in an incorrect and unjust light. It was of course ignorance on the part of the Post, and we to-day present a full and accurate report.

Now that the county has discontinued the paying of bounty for killed gophers, our farmers take the matter in hand themselves, and by paying premiums, rid their fields of the marauders. Mr. Koester of Linden paid 2 cts. a piece for gophers caught on his land, and had

A the satisfaction of having 400 killed. „

J* \i e noticed an agent for a barb-wire

attachment, which serves to prevent cattle from injuring themselves, display his wares on the wire-fences near the hospital. VVe hope the day may come when this cruel style of fence, which ruin" many a valuable animal, will be superseded by something better.

Not alone that the mischievous go­pher ruins our coru-iields, he indirectly causes other trouble, as Mr. August Wegener of Lamberton can tell. While he was extracting a cap from a powder-loaded gun cartridge, which he sup­posed detect, the powder exploded, burning the palm of his right hand

We receive our due share of corre spondence, but never before did we know that a spirit from the other world deemed us and our journal worthy of a full news report £rom the region beyond the river. The epistle which proves that the spirit must have been the ani­mus of a Shakspearean admirer, sadly pictures tho dilapidated condition ot the church-yard in which a friend sleeps

£jr the eternal sleep, but for want of space n in our columns we must keep the con­

tents for ourselves and none that the spirit's heart will not be wounded there-

At the meeting of the Board of Di­rectors of the new road, which took place at St. Paul last week, the surveys hitherto made were favorably consid­ered, and it was decided to proceed with the southwestern survey toward a point on the Sioux City road, not yet determined, as soon as the Hopkins survey is completed. After this is done the executive committee of the board will make a tour of investigation re­garding the right of way, and when all preliminary work is accomplished the full board will meet in this city to con­sider final measures.

The dwelling house of Andrew Hoff­mann in the town of Sigel, with most of its contents, was destroyed by tire last Monday. Mr. Hoffmann was away from home and the members of the family at work on the.farm at the time, and when the fire was first discovered it had made such headway that only a part of the household goods on the lower floor could be sated. I t seems that the fire originated from a defective chimney. The loss to Mr. Hoffmann is estimated at about $1500, with an insurance in the St. Paul Fire &, Mar.ne of §630.^

At Kuetzin^s, hand made Linen Lace 3 inches wide 12J cts. a yd. worth 25 cts.

We with this issue have a paragraph of local news, the Cottonwood Reports, which will no doubt interest some of our readers, and for which we thank our new correspondent A n o n ^ ' ^ ? ^ f

Mr. John Nenno,the popular clerk at the Union Hotel, has just affixed to his bar a newly invented beer-faucet by means of which he can draw two differ­ent beers at one and the same time. v **

It so happened that our editor skipped the country last Sunday evening, to at­tend to business in the twin cities and vicinity, and our local department was at the mercy of the printer's devil, who must be blamed for any short-comings.

The road supervisor of Lafayette is hard to work with a crew of men and teams filling up the road on the Nicollet county side of the bridge. This is as it should be; since the city of New Ulm has given them a safe bridge, our neigh­bors from across the river should all as­sist in building good roads to connect with the same.

Mr. Julius Berndt attended the dedL cation of a flag by the Sons of Herman of New Rome, last Saturday. Several other lodges were represented there, and considerable enthusiasm manifested when Mr. Berndt laid before the lodge-brothers the interesting programme to be rendered in this city on the occasion of the laying of the monument corner­stone.

The following marriage licenses were issued by Court Clerk George since our last publication: Paul Klinkharamer to Mary Drexler. William L'petzki to Lizzie Kaseforth. Paul Frank to Minnie Kastor. Nils Olsen to Anna Iverson. Andrew Kopp to Maggie Dauer. Louis Lentengre to Emma W. Pless. Carl Sc-hewe to Hedwig A. Dubois. Enoch Grotta to Nellie Thorkelson. Martin Luepke to Sophia Ackmann.

The new iron bridge across the Min­nesota river was tested by the proper authorities Monday morning and proved that the same was in all its details con­structed as contracted for. The test was made with two threshing steam en­gines, weighing with horses and drivers, about 30,000 pounds. In driving across the first time, one behind the other, the bridge in the centre sunk £ of an inch, which was the least expected in tio-ht-ning all joint3. In returning both en­gines were driven side by side, only causing a sinking of ^one thirty-second of an inch which sprung back after the loads had passed. The test proved a weight of 1800 ft>3. per foot or 250,-000 lbs. for the whole bridge by a mov­ing load, with a safety guarantee of one million pounds. The bridge was opened for public travel immediately after the test.

The "Grand Democratic Ratification Meeting by the Young Men's Democra­tic Club" last Monday evening was just what could be expeek*.,. The meetiuo-, in which the old aion about the "Grand Old Democratic Party" and the -Mis­chievous Republicans" was told over and over again, was not as largely at­tended and so enthusiastic as at former occasions of the kind. The name of the big Democratic Light of Minnesota, Ames, which used to bring down the house heretofore, was entirely ignored by all the speakers, but it was made known to all those present that Minne­sota would be captured by the Demo­crats this fall. One of the speakers figured it down that New York would go Democratic by at least 70,000 major­ity, that Ohio, Indiana. Michigan, Wis­consin and Illinois would all be swal­lowed by the "Grand Old Party" and that in fact nothing would be left for the Republicans. The fine music fur­nished by Gruenefelder's band at the meeting was undoubtedly the best part of the programme and it was amusing to see the long faces of the Democrats and the smiles of the Republicans pres­ent when at the close the band played the "James G. Blaine March." As soon as the Chairman of the club no­ticed the fact he jumped unto his feet and gave the band boys to understand that they were playing for a Democra­tic and not for a Republican rally, and so the tune was stopped only half fin­ished . Well Mr. Chairman we can as­sure you that the balance of the march will be played on election day, not only by the band but also by the voters of the United States and in a manner that j will silence the Democrats at least for | the next tour \e.trs to come.

iMr. John Weyhe,^ whb has been in the south for the last five years serving under the U. S. Hag, is back on a visit.

The Dakota House is now under the exclusive control of A. G. Seiter, who no doubt will manage affairs in a man­ner pleasing to the public.

'"" Mr. E. G. Pahl, the delegate returned from St. Louis last Saturday, sadly dis­appointed with the behavior of the grand Doc, who has fallen in his es­teem considerably.

Hon. T. E. Bowen of Sleepy Eye, one of the orators at the Democratic Ratifi­cation meeting last Monday, made the REVIEW office a pleasant call the same day.

Last Sunday children's day was ob­served at the Congregational church. The church was beautifully decorated with flowers and evergreens for the oc­casion. It was a verv pleasant affair for the little o n e s | ^ ^ g f j g | §

Col Baasen, our popular Democratic postmaster, felt so elated on Wednes­day when the news was wired that Cle­veland was nominated by acclamation, that he run np his flag up side down and half mast at that.—New Ulm Cor­respondent of Sleepy Eye Herald, j

Dr. G. W. Patten, has taken charge of Dr. C. W. McFadden's office. Mr. Patten is a graduate of the Baltimore college and is well qualified to do skill­ful work in Dentistry. Our citizens will find him a courteous and accom­modating gentleman. Give him a call.

Mrs. W. Hummel has opened her new dry goods store in Gebser's building. As will be seen by an advertisement in another column. Mrs. Hummel offers a fine line of new goods at very low figures. The ladies ot New Ulm and vicinity will surely do well to make a call at the new establishment.

Edward Kren'z, the farmhand of Mr. Wm. Skinner in Milford, met with a serious aecident last Sunday afternoon, while visiting with Mr. John ^Krueger. He found what he supposed to be a dis­charged cartridge, and after first plac­ing it in his mouth without any special reason, took a pin and began probino-the interior of the s>hell when the same suddenly exploded, tearing off the up­per parts of his left thumb and next finger, besides cutting his right cheek. He was so taken by surprise that he at first did not recognize the full extent of the accident, believing that somebody else bad shot. He was taken to town and had his wounds bandaged by Dr. Strickler.

At a special meeting of the City Council held last Monday evening the Minnesota river bridge was accepted, declared open for travel and payments ordered to be made as per contract.

An applicatiomof the Sons of Herman, asking the aid of the City toward pur­chasing additional grounds could not be granted, the Council having no authori­ty to do so.

The sum of fifty Dollars was allowed the Cottonwood Bridge Co., toward re building the bridge below Frank & Bentzin's mill, provided that the same be replaced and put in a sate and pass­able condition, kept in repair and free for the traveling public.

The request of the City Treasurer to be allowed for his service the sum of $1.00 per day was rejected and his fees were fixed at the same percentage as heretofore paid. *>

The City Attorney presented his opinions relating to the Treasurer's salary, and Sons of Herman/viz:

To the Hon. City Council of the City of New Uim,

Gentlemen: > ^ * The undersigned, to whom were re­

ferred for opinion the questions herin-after passed upon, begs leave to report:

First: As to the authority of the city council in the matter of the fees or com­pensation to be paid to the City Treas­urer for his services, see page 18, sec. 32 of the charter, which gives the coun­cil the power to fix the compensation or salary of all officers elected or appoint­ed for this city.

An examination of the records for ten years back, shows only one instance where the council fixed the salary of the treasurer and that was on May 3d 1882 (page 199 of Record.)

This resolution seems to have been followed ever since, simply because no different action was taken. The city council has the power to fix the salary or compensation of the city treasurer and determine at what times and in what manner the same shall be paid, but this should be done as soon after election as practicable, and the same not having been done as yet in this case, it can properly be done yet

Second : As to the application of the "Lodge of Sons of Herman" asking the city council to purchase a certain Out-lot in this city for the purpose of enlarg­ing their monument grounds, or assist them by paj ing a part of the purchase money therefor, I have to say, that in my opinion the council has no legal rigi t to grant the application. The" charter does not authorize appropriations of the public funds for any other purpose than are therein provided for, nor is it competent for the council to make do­nations from the city treasury, unless specially authorized so to do.

Respectfully submitted, " „*v Jos. A. ECKSTEIN.

Jtaiv Attractions.

One of the interesting and attractive features of the next Brown Co. Fair will be an exhibit of the various varieties of wheat from every State and Territory in the United States, from Russia, India, Canada, Australia, Spain, Germany and Austria.. There will be all the varieties now generally under cultivation. Rio Grande, Lost Nation, Sea Island, Blue Stem, Scotch Fyfe, Canada Fyfe, Hiller Fyfe, Saskatchewan Fyfe, Canada Club, White Winter and Red Winter in fact a sample of all the different varieties under cultivation. Secretary Heide-mann is now corresponding with the various states and territories.St'Some idea may be convened of the magnitude af this undertaking when we under­stand that an order to make this exhibit complete it will be neces­sary to write over 100 letters, ask­ing the aid of U. S. Consuls and Con­gressmen. Nothing that will prove so attractive has ever been undertaken by any County Fair before much less by a State Fair. This exhibit alone will attract hundreds and thousands of people abroad. Secretary Heidemann has several more schemes to make the fair a grand success hut will not give the m away until the proper time.

New Ulm, Minn., June 4th, 1WU . President Lincoln said that you can

fool some People all ihe time and \ou can fool all the People fomet'ines, but you cannot fool all tne People all the time.

Some machine men seem to take P. T. Barnnm s view that the American people are bound to be humbugged and tarmeis in tins country are subjected and liable to fo.ll into tne hands ot just such men. Farm machinery now-a-days is so near perfection that nearly all kinds ot machinery works leason-ably well, yet there is a difference in the material put into them as is also the case in prices with local dealers. We believe m the theory ot dividmo-the profits with our customers and we would rather sell a great many goods at prices, that at tne end of the season would leave hundreds of dollars of the profits in the pockets of our customers, than to combine with other machine men in raising the prices, thereby sell­ing but a little and dividing up the trade, in order to keep machinery high.

We handle the celebrated Esterly Binders and Mowers, the light and durable ChampionJBinders and Mowers the Red, White and Blue Mowers, the Bonanza Hay Rakes and Cultivators, the Stoughton and Red Wing Wagons and Buggies, the Rock Island Stubble Plows and only the best grade of Bind­ing Twine, warranted to be absolutely Insect-proof. We also have the verv best steam threshing outfits, such as the Massillon Straw Burners, the Ault-man & Taylor, and last but not least, the Huber Straw Burning Engine and Victory Separators. Another great item for farmers to take into considera­tion is that we always keep on hand a full assortment of all kinds of repairs for each and all kinds of machines we sell.

We invite you one and all to call and look over onr goods, whether you want to buy or not; so hoping to receive a call from you, we are, >
