city indulged in a pleasant picnic al
John Vierlings grove last Sunday.
a. G. Setter has removed his family
to Winthrop, where he has taken
charge of the Vetter House.
Company A held meeting last even
to elect lieutenants to ell the vacancies
caused by the designations Of Its. Hub.
bard ndWinkelman. The meeting how
ever was too late to report on. The MEM
bers OF the company have been putting in
some good ticks, during the past week,
both in securing recruits and in drill
and they now stand the very best chanc-
es of passing the inspection of June IA.
The corps now numbers in the region
of sixty members. twenty three of them
recruits. who have been prompt and
regular in attendance and show the
consequent results of strict attention to
duty. The people of New Ulm should
feel grateful to those who have pushed
the matter and set the company again
on its feet.
Another important business transac-
ton was made last week. The well
known department and machinery store
of 81. 81. Buessman has been purchased
by his two sons, 81. d. and j. 81. Beuss-
man, who will continue the business at
the old stand. In retiring from lis
management, Mr.. Buessman vacates q
place in the circle of New Ulm business
men that he has filed long and credit
ably. During the thirteen years that
be has resided in this city, he has been
1T the head of one Of its leading stores
and in that time has been made many
friends. To the new proprietors we
wish them every possible success and
hope that they may continue to receive
the patronage that has heretofore at
tached to the firm.
Last week we had occasion to call
attention to the fact that some rascally
fellows were making themselves the
source OF much complaint by tearing
down guide posts in West Newton. OF
late some one with like intent has been
making bold within and around New
Ulm. Hunters Rest and the parks have
I ( i ~. -
been visited by these mischief making
Williams, and the benches have been
broken, the fences torn down and they
have even gone so far as to steal the
flowers and destroy the plants. Such
low tricks should not go unrequited
and some means ought to be taken
towards catching these people, whoever
they are. We are glad to notice that
the sportsmen's club and the city have
offered rewards for their capture.
Attorney General Clapp has present.
ed to the supreme court a petition, ask
ing for the reopening of the Winona
and St. Peter Land tax case. The set
tiers in Redwood county, who are most
affected by the decision, relieving the
company from back taxes, are very
much dissatisfied and have in the past
few days been seeking relief. Their
demands have been SO pressing and the
necessities of the case seem to have
been such that the Attorney General
will make strong endeavors to have it
reopened and argued. The judges have
taken the petition under adyisement
and are giving it an examination. The
case has already been twice argued be-
fore the supreme court, who decided
first in favor of the state and then in
favor OF the Land company. They may
decide to give it a third and final trial.
A public meeting of the Board OF
Trade will be held at Turner Hall next
Friday evening, June 9TH. At this
meeting will be discussed the advis-
ability and practically Of securing the
erectlon IN tnls City OF pottery works.
which would manufacture on large
and extensive scale fire and pressed
brick, terra cotta,and stone and pottery
work. The project is one that has
been agitated by the board for long
time and one on which there has been
no end of talk. It now looks as though
they were trying to come to some head
in the matter. rhe officers of the board
will be able to furnish some valuable
information in regard to cost and adj
vantages and it is material that every
business man in town should be pres.
emit By all means boom the matter and
get the pottery works.
The District Court for Brown County
convened in this city last Wednesday
and will continue throughout the pres.
