New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1889-07-10


The president has appointed as CON
sui to Nice one William Harrison Brad
ley, of Illinois. Something in the name
of course.
The postmaster at Milwaukee has re-
signed. It would be strange if he didn't
after getting such a roasting as the civil
service commission had occasion to give
him.
The daily papers advertised the Sulli-
van and Kilrain fight in column upon
column Of space, weeks before the affair
came off. This is one side of newspap.
er enterprise that don't appear so very
creditable.
Editor VIM. O'Brien mas now been
imprisoned eleven times under the
crimes act. It is a wonder they are
not cruel enough to lessen expenses of
repeated arrest by combining him per-
manently.
A man named James Donahue was
killed by Joseph Hardacre in drunken
brawl at Lake Madison on the night of
the Fourth. The murdered man was
ffty-three years of age and the murder
er young man of twenty three.
I. 5. Wright was before United States
Commissioner McC afferty on Monday,
charged with using the mails with an
intent to commit fraud and was held
to the grand jury in $1,000 bail. He
was also held on another charge of i'm
personating U. S. post-ofice inspector
and bound over in 81, 500 bail.
The great Sullivan and Kilrain fight
came off as advertised on Monday and
as was expected the "big one'' pre-
served his reputation by gently doing
up his opponent. Our sympathies
leaned with Kilrain but the only salts
faction left us in our disappointment is
that it took John L, seventy rounds
to do the job.
On the anniversary of the nations |
birth, conventions net in the four new
states to frame their constitutions. In
the Dakotas and in Washington the |
republican delegates are in majority,
while in Montana the democrats lead |
with small vote. Their work is an
important one and will be watched with |
interest.
VIM. Pitt Murray, upon being ousted
from the corporation attorneyship of |
st. Paul, was presented with a gold |
watch and chain valued at $500. 1t
must be nice to be retired from office ]
when admiring friends stand at hand
with such handsome gifts, and Murray
should feel like forgetting that he ever
lEas relieved, !
To celebrate with powder and
fire crackers is custom that will ex.
list no doubt as long as the anniversary
of independence, 1t furnishes amuse'
ment and huge enjoyment to many and
they will continue to keep it UP. But
the fun is often expensive and carried
too far. To cause runaways, burn out
another mans clothes and perhaps dis
figure him for life is certainly not ap-
propriate celebration of the day and
there are some who practice it who are
old enough to know better.
The investigation at the Rochester
hospital has been in progress since the
second of July, but any marked fruits
Of their labor are unnoticeable. The
committee seems to be luke warm in
the matter. They aren't getting down
to the bottom of the affair. Before
their adjournment any amount of testi-
mony damaging to the hospital could
be secured, now hardly anything but
concentrations of the management can
be got at. What is the reason? Pa
pers are crying, "On to St. Peter;'' but
if the same committe are to do that in
stitution up it would be useless waste
of time and money.
