George Grimm, Of Springfield, and
Miss Emily Schneider, of this city, will
be married at the Catholic church by
Rev. Berghold tomorrow. This will
be a pleasant announcement to many
OF our readers, as it takes from the
realm of single life two of our young
people who are known to nearly every
body and who are held in esteem bv
all. Mr. Grimm, who is now station
agent 1T Springfield, was for seven
years employed as cashier in the depot
at this place. In all that time he
proved an efficient clerk and by the
patrons of the Northwestern he was
ever considered as an accommodating and
worthy young man. For companion
in life he takes an estimable young la
dy, and to both we extend our congra-
tulations aud wish them all the 10y and
success possible in lite.
Intelligence, enthusiasm and thought
full interest characterized the audience
which gathered at Turner Hall last
Thursday evening to near Bob Evans.
Argument and not sophistry, reason,
not nonsense, fairness, not abuse. and
eloquence, not prating roast, marked
the speech. The hall was filled to it's
utmost aud packed far beyond its seat
ing capacity. The towns of Sleepy Eye
and Springfield sent down splendid del
egations-a about hundred in all-and
the glee club from the former place
helped 10 enliven the occasion with its
patriotic music. Mr.. Evans spoke for
nearly two hours. In all that time he
adhered to q position Of charity for all
parties and never allowed his belief that
the opposition was mistaken in its policy
tojnstify abuse. Always the gentleman
he dealt with the various vexed ques-
tions of political Importance with fair
ness and honesty, and in such a manner
as to leave his opponents no vantage
ground from which to accuse him OF
villifcation. His treatment Of the tar
1T question was masterly and broad.
He had no apologies to make for the
Mckinley bill and regarded it as one of
the wisest measures ever passed by con-
gress. He was outspoken in his belief
in the protective system and took the
bottom out of nearly every Democratic
claim that has ever been made, So
complete was his exposition and SO con-
vincing his argument, that when he h1d
finished the only thing the Democrats
could say against him was that he had
talked too long, Mr.. Evans style is
q pleasing one. Fluent in speech and
with ready natural wit. he always sue
ceeds in holding the closest attention of
his audience and never fails to entertain.
That his New Ulm listeners considered
his speech a treat was evidenced by
their frequent and spirited applause.
