The Tracy Trumpet of May ~ comes
to our table this week. Rather pre-
vious.
Julius Wendt, of Burnstown, and
John c. Peterson, of Eden, were call
ers at the Review Office last week.
Mrs. A. H. Eckstein is gradually i'm.
proving from her serious illness. She
has experienced. several relapses.. but we
hope her present recovery may be sure.
A number of the friends of Miss En-
ma Spoerhase rendered that young lady
pleasant surprise at her home on Sat-
uluay evening.
The number of graduates from the
high school will not be very large this
year. Miss. Allie Scherer and Mr..
Fred Hers will be the only ones to re-
ceive diplomas.
The annual conference of the Mime
sofa Synodal will convene in this city
during the last week of June. Some
eighty ministers will he in attendance,
together with delegates from every pa
IRISH in the state.
The farewell ball st Union Hall, on
Sunday evening, given by the former
proprietors of the institution was not a
great success financially. Socially, it
was very pleasant affair.
The railroad and warehouse CON-
mission will be at the Dakota House to-
morrow from a. m. to 1870 a. M. If
you have complaints, prepare to make
them then.
A large number of the scholars of the
Turnverein Sunday School held q pic
mic at the Hunters Rest grounds on
Sunday. An enjoyable time was spent
by all.
The Advance says that John Van Val
kenburg, Of Springfield, has been e1-
periencing hard trial of sickness, and
that his recovery is unlocked for. He
was first taken down with bad cold,
followed by siege of mumps, and he
is now afflicted with the measles, which
threaten to endanger his life. We hope
it will end differently.
The directors of the Brown County
Agricultural Society held their annual
meeting Sunday afternoon for the pur-
pose of revising the premium list and
taking other preliminary steps towards
making the coming fair a complete sue
cess. The dates of holding the fair
were fixed for Sept. 20, 81 and %.
A couple of gentlemen from Lake
| Crystal were in town during the week,
trying to introduce a patent gopher
exterminator. The instrument consists
of large tube with bellows attachment
and into this is placed hay filled with
sulphur. 10 operate it one sets fire to
the hay, places the end of the tube in
the gopher hole and works the bellows
Sure death is said to ensue to the ami.
NAL, if he is in the hole. We do no,
know the merits of the machine but il
it is as successful as is claimed by those
who have seen it work, it is certainly
a cheap and worthy investment. The
gopher plague is getting to be so ex.
tensive and is the cause of so much de.
struction that it would be we'll to try
every possible means of getting rid OF
it, and this seems as cheap and effective
a way as any.
Company A will have to to reorgan.
ize and prepare for second inspection
To be mustered out of the service is the
only alternative. Carelessness and
negligence in duty are not the requisites
of a good military organization and the
New Ulm guards have in the past pos.
sessed both in marked degree. The
results showed plainly in the annual in
inspection which was held at the ar.
mory last Friday evening, for, when In
spector General Schoeffe1 entered the
hall with his staff, he found only thirty
men in line and these displayed their
lack of drill both in the manual of arms
and company movements. The inspect.
or did not hesitate to say that the
showing was not fl to report on and
that the company must either disband
or undergo a complete reorganization.
