4 NoWsthat we are assured of a basket
factory, what will come next? There
4 is certainly room for more.
Ed. II. Huebner. who is now prac-
Using law at Winthrop, reports a flat
tering amount of business and eminent
satisfaction with the outlook.
We have received communication
from the county auditor in regard to
seed grain received from the state, but
for lack of space it was crowded ont.
1t will appear next week and every far
mer interested should read it.
A concert will be given by Gruenen-
felder's band at Schmucker's Tivoli
next Sunday afternoon. For spending
an afternoon this is one of the incest
resorts in the city, and good crowd
will no doubt attend.
Alexander Kempt, general agent for
the Brush Electric company, held an
interview with the directors of the New
Ulm Electric Light Company on Mon
day. Within three weeks the plant will
be complete in every detail.
Al a meeting Of the city council, held
Sept. 10Th, it was resolved to change
the size of the main pipes as shown in
plans and specifications from TO s inch
es. The committee on waterworks was
also authorized and instructed to have
a we'll sunk in North German Park,
near First Street North, and to have the
specifications printed.
Sister Aafre died at the hospital last
Thursday evening OF consumption. She
came here last fall an invalid and at
times showed signs of improvement.
but of late she has gradually failed
and at last died a victim to the re-
morseless disease. Her parents ar
rived here on Friday and took the
corpse to Blakely, where they reside.
We are informed that negotiations
are now pending between the proprie-
tors, of the st. Paul. New Ulm & South
western railroad corporation and New
York parties for the sale of the bonds
of the company, thus mortgaging the
proposed road, in order to obtain money
enough to commence and complete it.
Nothing definite has been arrived at
yet but we have it on reliable authority
that the prospects are good.
A. P. Anderson, prominent farmer
of Bernadotte, died very suddenly last
Wednesday Of inflammation of the bowels,
He had been visiting with Mr.. Krook of
this city and on Tuesday was taken
suddenly ill. He was attended by
Doctors Stricken and Berry and, when
the nature of his disease was explained
to him, he insisted on being taken home.
This was granted but on the way he stuff
cred such int nse pain that it was nee
essary at times to remove him from the
buggy to give him rest. After reaching
home he lived orly a few minutes.
August Schwartz, of the town Of
Home. was brought to this city last
Monday and taken before Judge Brandt,
where he was examined by Drs. Strick-
Ter and Berry and adjudged insane.
The old man is now So years of age
and it would appear that he is gradual
ly becoming demented. He was adj
judged insane about a year ago and ia
ken to the hospital but was released
after brief confinement. Queer ac-
tons of late have aroused suspicion
again among his friends and led them
to this course. He was taken to ST.
Peter yesterday.
The pick-pockets, who were arrested
on Saturday for robbing several ladies,
were released on Monday morning for
lack of evidence against them. They
were sharp in that although they stole
the money it was smoothly turned over
to their pardner who escaped, and thus
nothing was found on them to prove
that they did the work. Several empty
pocket books were found scattered
around the hall, so that it appears that
they took the valuables and left what
to them would be of no use. There
were nine, all counted, in the gang and
they not only enriched themselves by
picking pockets but passed counterfeit
and spurious money. They went from
here to Sioux City.

factory which will soon form one OF
