We are informed that Father Berg

Bold bad boys broke up Mr.. Zchun-
ke's boat the other night in such man
ner as to make it unseaworthy.
Mr.. Bowen, of Courtland, was in
town Monday and from him we learn
that a movement is on foot to build

place.
A young man of Baltimore has been
arrested and will languish in jail for
80 days for telling his sweetheart that
her face would ''stop a niger funer-
all In New Ulm there are no Mig
gers consequently funeral Of the
kind mentioned is never stopped.
Mr.. Herman Schapekahm celebrated
his birthday last Sunday with some of
his friends. Mr.. Schapekahm's birth
day comes only once year but his
friends no doubt wish it would come
oftener if he would celebrate every
time as pleasantly as was done Sunday.
A class of "a girls and boys received
first communion at Trinity church last
Sunday morning, Father Reichl ofici-
ating. The young ladies in their white
dresses and the attractive appearance
OF the church interior made very pref
ty and inspiring picture which will
long be remembered by the attending
congregation.
The City Band will give concert and
ball at Union Hall, Sunday evening,

tisement elsewhere in this paper. The

equipping and generally aiding the
boys of this company and our citizens
should bear in mind the place and date

benefit.
Mr.. Andrew j. Eckstein passed a
successful examination before Board
appointed for that purpose in Mime
apolis lately. He has certificate as
Registered Pharmacist and may be
pardoned for feeling somewhat elated
over it when there were over SO applic-
ants for,honors and but 9 or 10 of the
number passed as high as Mr.. Eckstein
did andbut 20 passed at all.
There are only three boarders at
Sheriff Schmidt's hotel at present and
two of these are Redwood Countv's
transgressors. This speaks well of the
good condition of Brown County's so.
cial aud civil atmosphere. H. j. Chap
man who has been in jail for time some
was taken to Marshall last Wednesday
to appear before the court on the charge
of selling mortgaged property.
An electric light company Of St. Paul
has a car load of poles unloaded at the
depot and it would seem that New Ulm
will not have its light hid under a
bushcl much longer. What object the
St. Paul Company has i'll coming at
this late day is not apparent. The New
Ulm Light Company has a large force
of men at work on its side track and
plant station and will have every, thing
in running order by July 1st, and as it
is composed entirely of resident business
men it is but natural to suppose that
they will receive the patronage of the
people. Future Developments will be
watched with interest.
Our attention has been called to the
fact that there is much poor and inferior
wheat in the granaries of the farmers
of this section of the state. That much
of this kind of wheat was sown this
spring is we'll known and various pa
pers commented upon the fact at, and
long before, the time of seeding. In
many cases farmers, for financial reas-
ons, were unable to get better wheat
for seed and in fact the best wheat was
almost unobtainable unless it could be
shipped in from considerable distance.
Now it is not at all probable that this
wheat will give the best crop in the
harvest of 1889. if we be allowed to
cast this rather somber prediction so
fur in the future but we can speak of
what now is. If our farmers will con.
tinue to hold on to this poor grain from
year to year and Try to believe against
reason that some time they will get
good wheat from poor seed sown, they
will wait and wait for time to
come. We would advise cleaning out
and marketing of all the surplus wheat
