Hon. 1. w. Boulware, of Fulton,
male us a pleasant call this week.
He says he is much interested in the
Duncan Gallaher controversy and
thinks they should have a public
debate-that they would draw a full
house. Boulware would make a
fine referee in o debate of this kind.
Speaking of debates reminds us of
the time Boulware was moderator in
the great Ditzler-Graves theological
controversy. Our legal friend went
to sleep, and on being suddenly
awakened, shouted What's trumps,
gen,lemen!' Such a turore was
never before created in Fulton.

New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1886-05-12

During the war of the rebellion Rev.
G. Movery was 3 soldier in the Union
army and the fire of old is still within
him. When he discovered the impose
ton that had been practiced upon him
in the Randall Pierce marriage he
forthwith resented the insult by inter.
viewing Mr.. Randall and handing him
back the $40 and license papers, say
ing he had no use for them. Mr.. Ran
dali meekly pocketed money and pa
pers and said nothing. In approba-
ton Of Mr.. Mowery's act, number of
his admirers raised purse of $50 and
presented it to him. The following cor
respondence explains itself:
Ed. Review:-The following commu-
-nication has been received by me:
.'New Ulm, May 4, 1886.
Mr.. Mowery, Rev. Sir:
We approve the manly course you
have taken in relation to the sham wed.
ding of-last evening, and present you
with this small sum of money 1852, 90,
not as charity fund, nor to reward
you for doing right, but to show that
we appreciate the bold and fearless
manner in which you repudiated the
cowardly fraud, which was perpetrat-
ed upon you and this whole commune
ty. Respectfully,
Con-. OF CITIZENS.
This was followed by 40 names of
prominent citizens.
I desire in reply most sincerely to
thank the citizens of New Ulm, for
their cordial endorsement in my action.
The gilt is the more priced by me, as
it had its conception and consumma-
ton wholly outside of my congrega-
ton, and in the fact that it was so en-
phatically offered as a token of appro-
baton. As a charity gift, I should
scorn to accept it, so long as l have
strength to provide for my household
by my labor; and as a reward for do
ing right it would be equally distaste-
full. for this might imply, that it was a
rare thing for me to do right, which
aim to do always; but as an expression
of sympathy in frowning upon the in
suit offered me and the guests present,
more especially, and to the whole com.
munity more remotely, I accept it most
gladly, and prize it infinitely above its
nominal worth. In this connection, ]
wish to brand the report, that 1 had
stated the parties were to be married
by the priest from Waseca, or any 9th
er priest, as deliberate falsehood.
Very Respectfully,
G.. MowERY

The prospects now seem good that at
no distant day Capt. j. Nix of this city
will be placed on the pension roll with
the rank of captain, the House commit

the passage of the bill for his relief.
The following is the report of the com.
mittee to the House:
.'The claimant was captain Of COM
pany called out by the governor of Min
nesota during the Sioux Indian out
break and massacre in 1862, when he
was wounded in the hand and arm and
lost its use on account Of said wound.
The legislature of the state passed the
following resolution: That our sena-
tors and representatives in congress are
hereby requested to obtain special act
of congress granting a captain s pension
to said Jacob Nix, or such other relief
as his condition demands; approved
Feb. 2, 1881. The claimant was granted
pension by act of congress approved
July %, 1882, with the rank of captain,
at the rate of one-third disability. In
accordance with said act, claimant is
now drawing q pension Of $66.63 per
month. Owing to the act referred to,
the claimant is barred from the relief
intended, and cannot be rated in accord

tee therefore report a special bill, plac-

Since the last issue of the REVIEW, I
have had opportunity to investigate
thoroughly how far Mr.. and Mrs. G. H.
Ross were implicated in the deception
at the pretended wedding, and am
glad to state that believe them both
to be perfectly innocent, and to be the
chief sufferers from the wicked imposi-
ton. [ only wish that all their trien ds
could have the same opportunity to
satisfy themselves, that have had.
am sure they would come out as fully
convinced.
I believe every word of the above
statement, made by Mr.. and Mrs. Ross,
to be true.
Respectfully,
G. MoWERY.
