New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1890-08-13

Ira T. Schissler, the Mankato attor-
ney, was in the city yesterday.
Magnus johnson, prominent politi-
clan Of Birch Cooley, was in the city
Sunday.
John Boyle O'Reiily, the famous Irish
poet and patriot, died suddenly at n an
ticket Beach Sunday morning.
The Martin County Sentinel says one
OF the heaviest raisers of flax in that
county recently contracted to sell 1 800
bushels at S1.0S per bushel. The pros
poets are that the price this season will
rule much lower than last year.
1t is rumored that the Republican
County Convention for the purpose of
nominating county officers will be held
the fore part of September. This strikes
us as being mistaken step. A four
weeks compaign ought to be long
enough for any candidate to canvass
the county and a longer season of con-
test than that only breeds corrupt and
useless elec1ioneering.
Ferdinand Kruschke, an early settler
of New Ulm, died at his nome in this
city on Monday evening, after an illness
OF several weeks. At the ripe old age
OF seventy-eight, his health of late has
not been the best and was such that
death could be expected at any time.
Mr.. Kruschke was well known to the
people of New Ulm, having resided
here Tor many years and having at one
time been in partnership in business
with his son-in-law F.W. Baarsch. The
funeral will be held tomorrow.
Bill Nye, who is known not only as a
philosopher but as an ex-publisher as
well, and "knows how it is himself"
gives the rising generation little pater-
nal advice, that is perfectly safe to take
even if it does no harm. The burden of
his remarks is this: Don't attempt to
cheat an editor out of a years subscrip-
t!on~to MS paper. or any other sum.
Cheat the minister, cheat the lawyer,
cheat the butcher body if you
have any regard for your future conse-
quences, don't fool with the printer
He will get even with you, and more
too. You will be put up for Office some
time, or want some favor for yourself
OF some of your friends, and just when
your luck is thing of beauty aud JOY
forever, the printer will open up on you
and knock your air castle into cooked
hat at the first blow
Unusual excitement prevailed on our
streets last Thursday afternoon over
the arrest of one of a gang of tramps OF
thieves, the details Of which are inter.
esting. During the day three suspic.
lous looking strangers were seen hang
ing about town, apparently waiting fol
an opportunity to do a burglars work.
One of them carried upon his person
some jewelry, and it was while trying
to pawn off ring on Richard Fischer
that he got himself into what the Pho.

lasted for fully q quarter of an hour
and the excitement was furious. The
prisoner was all fight. and, angered by
the kicks that ne received from various
ones in the crowd, stood ready to
tear and bite every thing that came
within his reach. Dick Fischer held
one of his hands throue hout the strug-

as he was about to be arrested. He
