many friends.
A seven-year-old girl of Superintend-
ent Velikanje froze her hands quite
severely last Friday while on the way
to school. The frozen members were
promptly immersed in ice water and
rubbed with snow and by this prompt
action serious results we're averted.
The anniversary entertainment given
by the New Ulm Lodge Sons of Her.
man, i'll Union Hall last Wednesday
evening. was very successful affair.
MIR. Berndt had prepared and present.
ed with good scenic effect number of
tableaux appropriate for the occasion.
Mr.. Gu1hunz, of St. Paul, president of
the grand lodge of Minnesota, was
present and made an address which for
brevity and good common sense was
highly appreciated. The Silver Cornel
Band rendered number of choice Sc
lections after which the chairs were re.
moved and the large crowd present en-
gagged in the May waltz. Several
members of the lodge, and especially
Mr.. Julius Berndt, worked hard to
make the entertainmentsu success and they
have ample reason for self-congratula
ton

The appointment of Col. Francis
Baasen to the postmastership
at New Ulm settles very conclusively
that Mr.. 2. II. Kelly is the power be-
hind the throne, so far as concerns fed
eral appointments in Minnesota. Al
though it must not be understood that
Mr.. Baasen had no local backing and
that his appointment was made in di-
rect opposition to the wishes Of the
people of New Ulm, it is fact which
cannot be denied that the leaders of
the Democratic party in Brown county
the men that have stood the brunt of
battle, and the men the party must
look to for future success at the polls
stood in a solid phalanx in the recon-
mendation of candidate other than
Mr.. Baasen. Itso happens that these
manipulators of caucuses and cenven-
tions have never worked in unison with
the Hon. ?. II. Kelly. On the contra
~, they have at all times and on all oc-
casions made manifest their wish to
lay Pat Kelly away on the topmost
shelf Of political oblivion. Mr.. Baasen
is q lifelong Democrat, has never been
actively identified with Mr. Kelly's OPP
ponents, and his petition for the New.
Ulm postmastership contained a long
Ii list 7 .' Of signatures. By espousing Mr..
Baasen's cause Mr.. Kelly saw his way
clear to give his political enemies in
New Ulm and Brown county direct
slap il in the face, and, although Pres
ident Cleveland was personally be-
seeched not to permit the insult. it has
been done most effectively. Mr.. Kelly
is on II top now. but his opponents here
and elsewhere in the State are buckling
on their armors and at the coming
Democratic State convention the cita.
del over which floats the banner Of IF.
