A burning ehiinney III stuebe's meat
market yesterday morning about9 O
clock created considerable commotion,
but the fire was exiting ished without
doing any damage.
Oscar Hanft is the agent in New Ulm
for SehBfer's patent stove damper, q
quite usefnl invention as it is said to
be a great saving in wood. He has
placed one on the Post Office stove.
where it can be seen.
The New Ulm Artillery company
will give a grand ball at Turner Hall
next Sunday evening. Good music has
been engaged for the occasion and a
good time may be expected. AS this
the first entertainment of the kind ever
arranged by this company, we hope to
see the ball well patronized. See an
nouncement in another column.
We learn from the Madelia Times
that Rev. W. j. w. Cunningham, of
the town Of Albion, is in bad luck. He
is not only a loser by fire, but through
the rascality of an unprincipled lnave
he has recently lost his best team. A
dishonest horse jockey sold him a
glandered horse, lat high price, saying
that he had only a slight cold. An
other Of his horses, worth $3.50 to $3.50,
took the desease, resulting in the loss
of both.
It appears from the following,
which we clip from the st. Peter
Tribune, that smut in corn is proving
fatal to cattle in other localities as
we'll as in this immediate vicinity:
son Saturday last, Maurice Campbell
of Lake Washington turned his cattle
into his corn field where he had finish
ed husking, and soon after five Of
them died, and on Sunday another one
died. They undoubtedly died from
the effects of smut which they swal-
lowed in eating the husks. The cattle
had been fattened and were nearly
ready for market. Farmers should
not allow their cattle to run in their
fields, as there is an unusual amount
Of smut on the corn this year.
Weare glad to note that, the people
of Minneapolis are getting thoroughly
aroused in the interest of narrow
gauge railroads. Day after day long
articles appear in the Minneapolis de-
partment Of the st. Paul Pioneer Press,
setting forth the advantages Of the mar
row gauge roads; and we understand
that the soliciting committee appoint
ed sometime ago at a meeting OF the
Minneapolis Board of Trade, to solicit
aid in behalf of the Des Moines & Min
neapols road, and the Fergus Falls
road, are meeting with good success.
We understand that the Minneapolis
people propose to give the Des Moines
minneapolis road 81, 600 a mile as far
New Ulm, and the Fergus Falls road
the same amount per mile as far as
Fergus Falls. When the leading citi-
zens guarantee this amount the legis-
latnre this winter will be asked to
pass bill authorizing the city Of
Minneapolis to vote the bonds.
At least four hundred people assem-
bled at the Turner Hall last Sunday
evening to witness the fairy play,
':The Squanderer. . The large mum.
Der Of people that turned out on this
occasion no doubt expected to witness
something more than usual, and in
this they were not disappointed. The
acting was good, and Miss Emile
Schaeffer, as Cheristana; Robt. P. A.
Nix, as Jul. Won Flottwell; E. G..
PAIL, as Wolf; Ad. Setter, as Valentin;
Mrs. G. w. George, as Rosa; G. Stohl-
mann, as Chevalier, and the Beggar;
brought out their respective characters
splendidly. Much new scenery had
been prepared by Julius Berndt for
the occasion, which gave the play a
grand effect. While the playing, as a
whole, can not be criticised, the long.
pauses between acts somewhat discon-
nected the piece and destroyed the eff
feet; but this could not well be avert
ed as the play is entirely too complicat-
ed for the size of the stage. We hope
to see it reproduced at some flu
ture time.
