New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1879-10-29

The ST. Peter Times in q recent Is.
sue takes occasion to say that four
hundred Republicans in Nico]let CO.
desire the defeat Of Thomas Downs,
the Republican candidate for sheriff.
we think the Times is lily informed,
as Mr.. Downs has made very accept.
able officer and the Republicans, and
many Democrats too, in the upper
towns of the county are united in his
support.
The Republicans Of Nicollet county
should stand by their standard bearers,
and especially should they rally around
Mr.. Fritche, their candidate for treas.
urer. We are informed that a sore.
head, who himself was candidate for
political favors before the late Repub.
llcan convention, is travelling all over
the county endeavoring to incite the
Republican voters to bolt the ticket
and especially Mr.. Fritsche. In Mr..
Fritsche Nicollet county has an eff
cieDt and honest public servant and we
believe he will be reelected despite
the soreheads.
The many friends of Capt. Julius
klrschstein will be glad to hear that
ne is making splendid record in the
mail service. An order has just been
issued by the P. O. Department pro.
noting him to an assistant postal clerk
and transferring him to the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul road. to run
between La Crosse and Chicago. AL.
though but one year in the service, he
is regarded at headquarters as one of
the most efficient and reliable men in
the mail service.
A short time ago the report was cir
cu'ated that on: former townsman FIR.
Struckmann had died at Santa Rosa,

set in circulation Mr.. Struckmann met
with serious accident from run.
away team. Himself and team fell
down an embankment and he received
injuries which terminated in his death
on the 18th inst. The sad news was re-.
ceived by Albert Behnke of this city
last Wednesday.
H. Van Valkenburg, of Burnstown.
laid a mammoth red beet on our sane
tum table last Monday evening that
weighed Is pounds. It really is the
biggest thing in the beet line we ever
clapped our eyes on, and we venture
the assertion there is not another like
it in the county. Mr.. Van Valken.
burg informs us that he feeds them to
his cattle, being much better than tur.
nips or rutabagas.
A long.standing order of the post.
Office department. has required that all
postal-cards having any portion of the
message written on their face should be
treated as unavailable. First Assistant
aster-GeneralTy ner just rescind.
cd this order to the extent of holding
that such writing shall not render
them unavailable per Sc, nor prevent
their being mailed unless it makes the
address illegible. The public is eau.
toned, however, that by writing any
portion of the message OH the face
they incur the risk of the card being
delayed or missent.
