The President spends his Sundays
here pretty much as he did at his home
in Indianapolis. He allows no mail to
be opened on that day, and sees no one
except possibly a friend. He always at
tends church in the morning, and gives
the remainder Of the day to rest.

bers OF the legislature from Brown

Heretofore it has been the custom to
proceed with some matters of city i'm
provement without properly laying
them before the Board Of Public Works
for their consideration making that
body somewhato of dead letter and
stripping it of that full power, which it
is supposed to have. A motion was
made and carried, that hereafter the
Board of Public Works be con-
suited in regard to all public works
and improvements which may be made
IN the city; the laying before said Board
OF any proposed improvements being
especially provided and called for by
the charter of the city of New Ulm.
General city matters having been
thus disposed of, business for which
the caucus was more particularly called
was taken up when Mr.. C. H. Ross
in few well chosen remarks as, an

present incumbent, Hon. J. C. Ru-
