History again repeated itself yester
day. That same old prize package
racket and the bewhiskered shell game
came with the circus, and justified the
old proverb about certain people anc
their money. Several hundred dollars
were harvested by the swindlers.
Sheriff Mead's building on Mil

ties.
The financial statement of the Chi
cago and Northwestern Railway, made
at their last meeting, shows an increase
of S76,O5l in the surplus earnings O
the road, after paying 7 per cent OF
the preferred and 6 per cent on the
common stock. The old board of Of
ficers were reelected. The war of rates
which has prevailed during the spring
does not seem to have effected the in
come, the increased travel largely
counterbalancing the loss on each fare
New Ulm Review: Some fool of {
stranger came to town last Sunday
hailing from Lake Benton. He claimed
to be detective, who wanted to SCI
the murderer Holden, and demanded
entrance to the jail. When this was
refused, he made an attempt to over

and locked him in a cell over night t.
give him an opportunity to sober up
When morning came he had forgotten

Mary by Dewitt Martin and Mis-
Nettie Houck, to the dairy maid o

with several solos in the last act. S,

it appears to have been something o
a disappointment to some who heard
