N
JOS. a. Eckstein made business tri,
s to Rochester last Friday, returning Sat
urday evening.
4 w Eibner will put in a new soda
fountain for his next seasons trade.
/ It will cost 500.
i VIM. Mueller and Hugo Schleuder, OF
| Springfield, came down to spend Sun
day with their New Ulm friends. The
boys report a good business and claim
to be making lots Of money. Glad to
hear it.
The New Ulm literary club held their
first meeting at Turner Hall last Friday
evening. The following were elected
rs officers Of the society: President,
Miss Bertha Beinhorn; Vice President
Miss Claire Rehfeld, and Secretary and
treasurer, Miss Lulu Fischer. The next
meeting will be held ono week from Fri
day evening.
i The theatre at Turner Hall on Sun
day evening was well attended and es-
pecially well received. The unusually
large audience was evidence Of the ap-
! probation for these home theatricals
and it is to hoped that during the win
ter season, those who partook will find
frequent occasion for favoring our citi-
zens with like productions.
The past few days have been lively
ones i'll the wheat market at New Ulm.
The prices paid have been from two to
four cents above that paid at other
towns and the consequent rush has been
surprising. On Friday the. mills paid
70 cents and on Saturday 20. During
the two days over thirty thousand bush
els were marketed and the rush prom
ises to keep up. A war is on between
Van Dusen and the mills and as long
as it lasts it will pay you to bring your
grain to New Ulm.
The first alarm of fire in six months
aroused our people on Monday after
noon and brought out the fire equip
ments in full force. A barn belonging
to III. G. Mueller in the northern part of
| town had caught fire and was rapidly
going up in smoke when the depart
ment reached the grounds. The blaze
was hot one and the adjoining build
ings were kept from danger only
through the active efforts of the bucket
brigade. Had there been high wind
both buildings would have been burned
as the engine got down to work only in
time to soak the smouldering ruins.
A representative of the Review had
occasion last week to visit portions of
the county where court house matters
were the only topics of discussion and
he was not only amused but surprised
to learn of the arguments that have
been used to induce people to sign the
petition for removal. Arguments! Well,
hardly They partake more of the ma
ture of bull-dozirg. A fair sample is
found in the method they employ to
prevent man from signing the remons-
trance. After securing his signature to
their petition for removal they will
confront him with all sorts of threats.
They will tell him that in signing the
one he placed himself under oath to
sign no other. They will endeavor also
to make him believe that in putting his
! name to a remonstrance he becomes a
perjurer and is liable for criminal Of
fence. To those who read, this, of
course, is all bosh, and they are avoid
ed. But it is on those, who cannot read
what they sign, that the willy schemers
let loose their oily tongues and practice
| their deceit. We would remind those,
| with whom they come in contact how
ever, that they run no risks in signing
the remonstrance. They are not under
oath to refrain from doing so, and they
will perjure neither honor nor anything
else if they should. In signing the re-
monstrance the voters are simply doing
s what they have a right to do, and what
lis directly to their interest, the talk OF
the workers for removal notwithstand-
ing. Another new invention for fur
thering their cause consists in circulat-
| ing the story that they will build the
court house. This is what amuses US.
They seem to have abandoned the $780,.
600 bonus offer and now promise to
erect and finish building at Slee-
Ply Eye that will be ready for oc-
cupancy by the county officials.
But ! promises and over promises
