The new pension board will hold their
first examination at Sleepy Eye next
Wednesday.
/ There are several cases of scarlatina
in town and in the immediate neighbor-
hood.
| The commissioners will meet next
| Wednesday to consider the removal
petition. For the schemers it will be a
cold Thanksgiving day that follows
Gustave Pfannkuche. of Cleveland,
Ohio, was in the city for several days
dnring the. week. He is the chief cleo
trician of the Brush Electric Company.
The A. O. q. w. will give Thanks
giving ball and supper to the members
and their families on the 28th. The
gathering will be at their own hall.
Skating on the river has commenced.
The ice is still thin, and several cases of
breaking through are reported.
Three rooms in the basement of the
new courthouse are being finished and
will be occupied by the janitor in about
week.
With commendable charity the New
Ulm Vinegar Works on Monday ship
ped $500 worth of clothing, caps, boots
and shoes to the sufferers in Dakota. Tt
is a move that might well be followed
by the other establishments Of the. city.
Gottlieb Schmidt and A. F. REIN are
mentioned among the possibilities for
the postmastership. We are not in
formed as to whether those gentlemen
have any aspirations in that direction
or not.
Marshall boasts of the fact that her
mill ships flour to Glasgow That's
nothing. New Ulm mills ship lots Of
it every day. In fact New Ulm -four
has better reputation in England than
any manufactured in this country.
Perhaps when the Herald in its recent
issue, stated that in order to see our cleo.
trio lights it was necessary to use a
good lantern, it meant to make a COM
parison with their petition. It certainly
does not require q lantern or any other
assistance to detect flaws and fraud in
such list.
| AS pleasant party as has been held
this season was that given to a number
of the young people last Saturday even
ing by the Misses Ella and Emma Sci
ter. Quite large number were pres
ent and the young ladies succeeded in
giving all a very enjoyable time.
Great excitement prevails at Spring
field over the supposed discovery Of
coal, two miles west of town. While
well drillers were boring for water they
passed through a six-foot vein of fine
coal. A mass meeting was held and a
company formed with sufficient capital
to investigate.
A special to Thursdays Journal
from st. Peter says that the bones of
Svenska Torgeson and his wife were
found that morning in the smouldering
embers of their home in New Sweden,
near the Sibley county line. As Tor
geson was afraid of banks and was
known to have had money in the house,
a strong suspicion of murder has aris-
en-.
Chas. Brust has shown us very fine
specimen of chamois' head, which
was sent to him from Switzerland BY
DR.. A. Mueller. The doctor also
accompanied it with instructions as to-
preparation and he can rest assured
that it will receive the most accurate
attention. It is splendid gift and will
soon grace the elegant public parlors
of it's owner.
If ssVeritas'' was really resident of
Cottonwood, why didn't he show his
colors, and why doesn't his name ap-
pear on the Sleepy Eye petition as COM
ing from that town. There is not a
Cottonwood signature on the whole list.
No, not even one. The Veritas letters
came not from Cottonwood, but from
some place nearer Sleepy Eye, or from
someone that everybody knows is work
ing in the interests of the removal
scheme. It was misrepresentation to
say that they came from Cottonwood
It was fraud.
The passenger Accommodations on the
Northwestern road for the travelling
public of New Ulm are now all that
could be desired. If we haven't got
