The Fourth at Sleepy Eye.

When we say that the Fourth of
July was celebrated at the above
named place on Saturday, Sunday and
Monday one would suppose that burgh
possessed more patriotic men, women
and children to the number of its in.
habitants than any other city, village
OF town in tho whole United States.
Now this may be really SO, but as
they have just ''leedle' different
way Of showing it than we folks down
here, we must confess that we are
not willing to vouch for it. Now we
don't propose to say that everything
we do in New Ulm in a patriotic sense
is just right, far from it, but let a
stranger enter our city. on our National
Independence Day and he will find the
city aglow with patriotism and everv
building from one end Of the city to
the other dressed in gala appearance.
No matter how much we may differ in
religious or other matters, we all join
hands and celebrate the glorious
Fourth Of July as one people, with but
one end in yiew-to honor the memory
Of our forefathers who thought, plan
ned, fought and died in order that we
may celebrate. The Catholics, the
Methodists and freethiEkers are
found marching side by side in pro-
cession under the stars and stripes.
But how is it with our good friends of
Sleepy Eye? One class celebrates on
Saturday, one on Sunday, and still an
other on Monday. Neither will help
the other. One man decorates the
front of his house on Saturday, one
on Sunday and another on Monday,
and we are panied to say that although
the general celebration was on Satur-
day we did not notice to exceed doz.
en- flags, large or small that were flung
to the breeze. While some men gave
literally to defray expenses, others
would give but little and still others
would give nothing at all. We are in.
formed that one man who is just ..en.
tering into business there, with the ex-
pectation of making fortune, allow
ed himself to be moved to loosen his
purse strings far enough to allow the
enormous sum of rs cents to slip into
the hands of the soliciting committee.
The celebration proper, last Saturday,
which consisted in music, speeches,
etc., was very commendable and the
managers thereof deserve credit for
their part in the work, but they
should have had the support of every
patriotic citizen in the village to
make the celebration a success, espec-
tally as it was not money-making af-
fair. We are not advised whether
the citizens generally took any more
interest in the Monday celebration
than they did in that on Saturday.

some time but neglected doing SO.
Several of my friends in Brown county
requested me to write to the REVIEW
and give them description of Dakota.
I crossed the Jim river forty days ago
on a rude raft made by mailing lumber
together. At that time there were
only seven or eight small buildings
here. Three of them were land locat-
ing agencies; one of them is about Tx

also contained law and printing Of.

The Fourth NJ New Ulm.

The l04 anniversary of our national
independence was ushered in by Capt.
Burg's battery at4 o'clock last Sunday
morning with salute Of 37..guns. Al.
though the skies were cloudy and
threatening until after 10 o. clock, many
people from the surrounding country
had put in their appearance before the
procession began to move at 8 O'Clock.
The Silver Cornet Band, Governors
Guards and their newly organized
drum corps, Fire Department in uni.
form, Turn Verein, Adelbert's band,
St. Joseph's Benevolent Society and
the New Ulm MDnnerchor participated
in the procession-the finest we have
had since 1915. Nearly every build
ing on Minnesota street and Broadway
was handsomely decorated with flags,
evergrecns, etc. and the whole city
wore gala day appearance. Upon
the return of the procession to Turner
Hall Park Col. w. Pf@nder delivered
short Grafton in German. His address
was attentively listened to and fire.
quently applauded. In the afternoon
the M2nnerchor and Adelbert's band
gave a picnic at the City Garden, and
the Turnverein in their park. Both
places were visited by large numbers
Of people and everybody wore a pa
triotic smile. In the evening there
were fire works and balls at the City
Garden and Turner and Union Halls.
Although the crowds at all these pla.
ces were immense not a single cross
word was heard during the whole day
or evening. The crowds came here
to have a good time, and they had it.

The Waseca Radical says that Mr..
Nlebles Of that city came very near
being run over by the cars while in
New Ulm a few days ago. He was
standing on the depot platform waiting
for the caboose Of the freight train on
which he was travelling, and as, it
reached the place where he was, the
train was under pretty good Roadway,
and as he seized the iron rods to get
aboard, he was thrown to the ground,
his feet lying across the track. In some
unexplained manner the wheels push.
ed him from the track, and allowed
him to escape with only severely
bruised and lame ankle.
The New Ulm Silver Cornet Band,
the Governors Guards and their drum.
corps speak very highly of their Slee-
py Eye trip last Saturday. The boys
went up with teams and, although a
heavy rain had fallen during Friday
night, making the roads quite heavy
all got there in good time. At 10 O.
clock the band, drum corps and guards
formed in procession and marched
through the principal streets, in the
order named to Allison's grove, where
the celebration was held. The streets
did not present very inviting ap.
pearance for Professionalism, but the
boys were bound that it should not
be their fault if the programme as
advertised was not carried out. For
the want of eataLles and ,drinkables
the boys did not suffer, and tax.
ing it all together the trip was en-.
joyed by all concerned. The boys are
especially thankful to Mr.. John C.
Zieske for his untiring cxertion in
their behalf.
We were shown a letter last Thurs
day written on the Monday previous
by one Carl Walter to his uncle JohnF.
CRUDE, of Iberia, wherein the broken.
hoarted(!) lunaticlamented his bad luck
in a wife-hunt, and vowed his intell.
ton of killing both himself and the wo.
man that had promised to marry him
and then when everything was ar.
ranged for the wedding suddenly
changed her mind. Mr.. Walter is a
widower, with five children, the Oldest
about 8 years old and cripple, and
the woman Sin the case' lives on an
elevation overlooking this city and
has also had some experience in matri.
monial life, her first husband having
died and she was divorced from her
second. The woman is still alive, but
as nothing has been heard or seen
from Walter up to the time our in
formant showed us the letter it is
thought probable that he may have
made away with himself, especially as
he sold his team in this city and sent
every dollar of the proceeds to Mr..
CRUDE, with a request for him to look
after the children. Mr.. Walter is a
German and is described to us rs fol.
lows: 80 years old, brown eyes, black
hair, full black beard, is five feet and
six or seven inches high and when
last seen wore gray clothes and a
black hat. Any information as to his
whereabouts will be thankfully re.
ceived by Mr.. John F. CRUDE. Iberia,

very long and his beard of immense
growth. His mouth has been out of

John Klein of Mankato offers for
sale a ferry-boat,, with wire rope,
built two years ago at an expense of
5000, for $3.50. The boat is in good
condition and is only offered for sale
because the building of a bridge across
the Minnesota at Mankato has made a
ferry unnecessary. For any further

a M1EN0OHY.
By Agnes A. Egan.
Jessie, Gertrude, May and Jane
Roamed together through the lane;
They were country maidens fsir,-
Light Of heart and free as air.
Jessie, she was blithe and gay
On that pleasant summer day;
Full Of kindness, wit and fun,
And cheerful as the morning sun.
Gertrude was of medium size,-
Fun lurked in her loving eyes,
And thought her far more sweet
Than the flowers beneath her feet.
May was very plainly dressed;
With great beauty she was best
Then she looked SO sweet and fair
With the sunlight resting on her hair.
Jane, the eldest of them all.
Was lovely, slender dark and tall;
Her manner was 50 quiet and staid,
In fun they called her an ''old maid.'
They roamed together until late,
And talked of being rich and great;
Out WHICH WUOH pccpcN O'cT TIC
They listened to the whip -poor-will.
As he warbled forth merry song
Nor did he cease the whole night long.
But several years have passed away
Since that pleasant summer day.
Many who were boys since then
Have become gray, aged men;
Others sleeping meath the sod,
Where their feet had often trOd.
In their childhood glad and free,
When they laughed and sang with glee.
In the graveyard, old and green,
Four white tombstones may be seen
Towering toward the summer sky
Underneath those nlaidens lie;
For. weary of this earthly life,
They closed their eyes and left this life.
Their souls have reached that shining shore
Where all is peace, and never more,
Will Jessie, Gertrude, May and Jane
Roam toge Their through the lane.

County Supt. Clary passed several
hours in this town last Friday; and
made tia point to visit school Dist.
No. 6, which now makes the second
time this summer term. He has Wis.
tied every school dist. in the county
at least once in each term and some
oftener. That shows that Mr.. Clary
is attending ito his official duty as
none have heretofore done in the
county. So mote it be Dennis, the
citizens like to see you around attend
ing to your duty to 'T."
Mr.. Holm's granary was a short

being satisfied with the excuse said he

not a shingled roof on the town site.
The only material used was tarred pa
per. But the whole thing has changed
wonderfully since. They now have
several good buildings in town, the
most extensive amongst them being
the Riverside Hotel which has just
opened for the accommodation of the
travelling public. 1t is building 32x
80 it. and is to be still further enlarg-
ed by 40 feet addition. There are
about 40 Buildings in town now and all
are occupied for business of some kind.
There is no dry goods store yet. which,
perhaps, is because there are but few
women in town. The railroad has been
extended from Volga this spring a dis
lance of IS miles. The first train cross
ed the Jim river yesterday and as it
came whistling into town it was loud
ly cheered. The grading will be finish.
ed Is miles further west in two days
more and the contractors defy the iron
gang to catch them before they get to
the Missouri river. never saw such
wild and furious rush after land.
Men are coming here every day from
all the old settled States of the North
west, all like pack of hungry wolves
in pursuit of prey. Doctors, bankers,
lawyers and professional men of every
Shade have come here a Thousand miles
to avail themselves IF the benefits OF
the timber culture act, and many of
them intend to locate here in town and
90 into business. There are about
eight lawyers here at present. AL
though the county is unorganized and
there is not civil officer of any kind
within it's boundary there does not
seem to be much need of law here as
there has not been fight or row since
I have been here, though it is supplied
with seven saloons and filled with a
rough class of citizens, such as is gen.
orally found in railroad and frontier
towns. Nearly every man and boy
carries an abridged code of laws in his
hip pocket in the shape Of six shoot
er. There will be three railroads
centered in this town next fall. The
G. & N. w. r. r. are building branch
road from here to Bismark, and they
have in the last few days surveyed and
plated out four town sites between
here and Redfield where they will cross
the Hastings & Dakota road. AS yet
there is not solitary living inhabi-
tant in all that distance and any man
can have his choice of corner lots in
these new towns. The Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul is building anoth-
er road to run through here, called the
Maple river branch, they are grading
both of these roads north of here. They
run parallel with each other and at one
point not two miles apart. The land
is good on both branches. I have 10.
Gated between three railroads and can
have choice of three stations to 60 to
market to and none farther from me
than five miles. There are several
Brown county boys here. The three
Clancy brothers have taken land close
by me. I get the REVIEW regularly and
