A young married couple wishing to
exchange some of their duplicate we'd
ding gifts, took a piece of silver to the
well known firm whose name adorned the
bog. and asked for its value in something
else, Imagine their surprise when the
clerk told them that the article was only
plated and probably came from the dollar
store: that they were often called upon to
sell boxes for just such purposes, and
there was no redress.

BOARD OF HEALTH.

The Board of Health recently ap.
pointed by the City Councilmet at CT.
ty Attorney Eckstein's Office last
and, after having qualified,
by choosing DR.. G.. Berry
health officer, and Chas. Brust aecre-
tary.
At an adjourned meeting of the
board last Saturday evening, DIR. Ber-.
ry submitteda paper on the water
supply Of the city. He treated the
subject quite exhaustively. Referring
to the chemical tests made by the
State chemist of IS samples of water
sent him from New Ulm. He said the
impurity Of our water was traceable
to the filth and offal deposited on the
side hill towards the slough on the
southwest of the city. By leveling
from the bottoms of our wells to the
slough or the west side of town, he
finds that the bottoms of our wells are
below the water level Of the slough.
AS the water flows into our wells from
a westerly direction, he is convinced
that our water supply comes from said
slough, filtered through various dis
tances of sand and gravel. As our
water supply IS exclusively from
wells, it is absolutely necessary that
the fountain head should be perfectly
pure from contamination, and he
therefore recommended that public
dumping place should BIZ at once Sc
cured, the place being SO located that
our water supply could not be injured
thereby.
The board thereupon adopted .Reg-
ulation of Board of Health, No. IL
which forbids the placing Of any filth,
rubbish, offal, dead animals, or any
other matter in or along the slough
above referred to; orders and requires
the city council to establish forthwith
a public dumping place, and warning
all violaters of these provisions that
they will be proceeded against accord.
ing to law.
Another meeting of the board will
be held next Saturday evening.

able in the excellent chorus, which

Body Found.

The mystery of Jerome Lang's dis
appearance was solved last Saturday
by the finding of the body in the Mime
sofa river. The discovery was made
by John Neuman and his two little two
girls, while out in the river boat riding:
When first seen, the body was little
ways below the pontoon bridge, floating
down stream. Upon making the dis
covery, Mr.. Neumann returned to the
shore with his little girls, and then
summoning Mr.. Kuntz, the bridge
Waterman, to his assistance they APP
prended the body in the bend below
Kiesling's residence, and, fastening
rope to it, brought it around the island
to point near the bridge, where it was
made fast to a tree. Coroner Lauden-
schl9ger was at once notified, and he
promptly repaired to the spot and caus-
ed the body to be taken from the water.
The body had the appearance that the
man had been foully death with, IN
abrasion of the skin near the left eye
having the appearance of pistol ball
wound. County Attorney Baasen and
Drs. Berry and Carl were summoned.
and coroner's jury was empaneIed.
The two physicians being of different
opinion as to the nature of the wound
on the head, the coroner dismissed the
jury until Sunday, the bodyin the mean
time being removed to the dead house
in the cemetry. At o'clock on Sum
day morning Drs. Berry and Carl made
an autopsy of the body. They found
the stomach and bronchial tubes filled
with water-a sure sign of death by
drowning while the wound on the
head proved to be only an abrasion Of
the skin. The coroner's jury rendered
a verdict, that Jerome LANCE came to
his death by accidental drowning,
while hunting.
The deceased was last seen alive on
Monday, April 14th, at which time he
crossed the bridge to the Nicollet side
in quest of game. just exactly how he
met his death will never be known, but
it is supposed that he fell into the river
in some accidental way, and being
weighted down with cartridges, and un-
able to swim, he was unable to save
himself. Besides the cartridges, he had
$1.65 in his pockets. Mr.. Lang was
about % years of age. His only rela-
tive in this country-a brother is in
Philadelphia. Thus the sad fate of a
worthy young man has been determin-
ed
