into the celebration of our National
Independence Day with more zest than
they. The New Ulm society are not
behind their brethren of other parts
OF the Union and have as usual az
ranged splendid programme for the
coming Fourth, which will be found
in another column.
At a meeting Of Progress Lodge No.
%, A. 0. w. w., held last Thursday

elected for the ensuing six months and
will be installed tomorrow evening:
M. W.-Louis Felkel.
G. IA. F. Walton.

We call the attention of our readers
to the advertisement Of the Wheeler &
Wilson Man'f'g. Co., which will .
found in another column. We are in
formed that the No. is not the old
style curved needle machine improved
or changed, but that it is an entirely
new invention. We judge that those
who think of purchasing machines
will do well to see to No. before buy
ing. 1t is sold by Charles Wagner.
St. Peter has been 4 good wheat
market this season, and wheat has
come in from long distances. We UNI
derstand that not less than $1,000
bushels have been brought from La.
fayette, distanne of thirty miles,
st. Peter Tribune.
Why are things thus? Can not our
wheat buyers make 1t an object for
the people of Lafayette to bring their
wheat to this city? New Ulm is dis.
tant only seven miles to the remotest
corner of Lafayette and, all things
being equal, we should think the far.
mers would prefer to come here.
Mr.. j. G. Haas has decided to open
a saloon in his new brick building on
the corner of State and Fourth North
streets and the doors will be thrown
open to the public tomorrow. The
formal opening will take place next
Sunday when splendid lunch will be
served.

Pat. Childs contradicts Eli Perkins
and says this years crop Of wheat in
| Minnesota will be below the average.
We wont know which is the liar, Pat
or Eli, till after harvest-Disputch.
We are inclined to think that Pat.
Childs will come much nearer to the
truth than Eli Perkins. The grain
stands very thin and many farmers say
that with the most favorable weather
but few fields will 80 over - bushels
of wheat to the acre, and that the av-
erage will be about 10 bushels. The
prospect however is that the wheat will
all he Mol.
The preparations for the coming cele.
bration aredrawing briskly toward com.
pletion. The various committees had
another meeting last Thursday evening
at which all the arrangements were
perfected and everything bids fair fol
a grand old fashioned celebration.
Several now and costly exhibition
pieces have been ordered from Chica.
