New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1889-06-12


Aug. Keller and Ernst Heinebach, OF
Chicago, are visiting friends in this
city.
A youthful professor made his ap-
pearance in the family of Prof Hoyer
on Monday.
{ At an election in Ridgley the people
voted down the proposition of appro-
priating $500 in addition to the $500
from the state with which to build an
iron bridge. A pine bridge will be
built instead and the contract has been
awarded to Minneapolis firm.
Its to be regretted that more did not
turn out and witness the exhibition at
Turner Hall last Sunday evening. The
class for whose benefit it was arranged
were benefited but little by it and can
hardly be said to have cleared any
thing. They went to much expense to
prepare an excellent entertainment and
they should have been more literally
patronized. The gymnastic exercises
were of an excellent character and
showed the results of careful training.
Some of the most difficult feats were
performed with ease and agility and if
a bulk of the prices at Cincinnati are
not carried off by New Ulm boys it will
be no fault of theirs.
Sleepy Eye has taken the initial steps
under the law for the removal of the
county seat from New Ulm to Sleepy
Eye, and New Ulm has met the issue
by giving notice Of contest. The
fight will in all probability be bitter
one, but it should be honest. In the
bond question the issues were compli-
Gated and twofold, but in the fight for
removal it is simply for or against. The
idea of agitating the question under
the existing circumstances seems un.
necessary. The people should not al.
low themselves to be hoodwinked by
any blinds thrown about them. They
should be cautious and especially care
full in signing petitions. They should
sign none which they do not know the
tull nature and purpose of.
e. c. Turner, representing the St.
Paul Pioneer Press, was in. town for a
few days of last week soliciting SUBJ
scriptions to that great daily. Of course
he made big offers and virtually bought
the patronage. Every subscriber is
furnished with the paper and is given an
atlas of the world as a present. In ad-
dition to this, for every ten dollars re-
ceived in subscriptions they agree to
give ten dollars worth of gratnitous adj
yertising. The offer is q nice one and
as we understand quite few copies
were taken, New Ulm is entitled to an
equivalent in space in the columns of
the Pioneer Press, in which to boom
her striking features and facilities.
In the storm of Thursday the elements
did their saddest work in the town of
Bashaw, this county, where thirteen
year old son of Hans Peterson, living
near Con,frey, was struck by the light
ming AM; instantly killed. As the storm
was approaching he was told to go out
and get the cattle under cover, and in
company with his little sister was per-
forming his duties when the sad acct
dent occurred. He was running along
side of one of the cows when the bolt
fell and killed them both. His little
sister, who was only q few feet away,
was uninjured in the least. It was a
painful death and the parents should
have the sympathy of all.
The Glorious Fourth.
