A Farmers Alliance meeting fol
Brown County will be held at Sleepy
Eye, Friday, August 10th. Rev. Johr
Allison, deputy state lecturer, will de
!, liver an address.
i This which we take from the st. Peter
J, journal we would like little more
{; positive information on: New Ulm
will, at a future date, havea residence
erected by one of her citizen, which
will rival any in the state.
1 S. S. Watkins, superintendent of the
4 State Fisheries, who was to have been
at New Ulm last Friday, passed through
on the early train but did not stop. He
left a cargo OF trout however with Mr..
Heidemann who stocked up Clear Lake
and Lake Hanska with the supply and
we will now await the result.
The employees of the New Ulm mills
will hold their annual excursion and
picnic on Saturday, August 18th. They
have not definitely decided where to 90,
some preferring Lake Benton and others
Springfield. Should they select the lat
ter place large contingent Of New
Ulmites will undoubtedly join them.
It is now only little more than a
month to the date of the county fair.
Everybody should make arrangements
to attend and, if possible, materially as
sist the managers by making an ex-
hibit. The officers Of the association
promise rare attractions and the sue
cess they look for should be given
them.
A meeting Of the School board was
was held at the Clerks Office Saturday
afternoon for reorganization and for
the election of officers for the ensuing
year. The following were elected to
serve: President, Peter Scherer; Secre-
tary and Clerk, r. G. Koch; Treas, E.
G. PAIL; Building Committee, DR.. o.
G. Stricken and F. Friedman. No
other business of Importance came be-
fore the board.
We were surprised to learn from the
last issue OF the Springfield Advance
that that staunch old republican, M.
Hurias, had turned democrat. and we
cannot believe it. That one, who has
always been a party standby and in
every campaign has strapped on the
harness for republican principles, should
prove differentnow, is more than we can
go. If he has been recommended to the
postofice at Springfield it is because he
is republican and worthy of the po-
sition, and for no other reason.
Next Monday our county commits
sioners meet to consider the county seat
removal petition and remonstrance.
They will not have much difficulty in
settling the matter since majority of
the voters of the county have declared
against the unnecessary expense of an
| = - =
election by signing both the withdrawal
and remonstrance papers. The latter
now contains about 1000 signatures,
the withdrawal document over 500 and
the work Of securing signers to these
instruments is by no means completed.
Last Thursday, Chief of Police Fow-
Ter of Mankato, arrived in the city in
search OF a couple of men who had
Skipped from Mankato on Wednesday
with property, secured by a chattel
mortgage which fell due on the day fol-
lowing. While here the officers obtained
a clue to their whereabouts and on Fri
day he found them encamped just
across the river IN Nicollet County. He
took them into custody but allowed
them to make out new mortgage and
| thus escape punishment for so serious
offense. Had they refused it would
have gone hard with them.
It is q new and strange idea of the
consistency and correctness of things
that in ones own mind justiies man
in an assault upon one, who has
accused him of accepting Doodle and al
the same time gives him the right,
without the slightest proof, to lay
charges Of bribery at the door Of an
other. We never could see the right in
such a sentiment but the editor Of the
4 Sleepy Eye Herald seems to take an en-.
1 tirelY different view from ourselves
