GOODBYE TO OLD LANDMARKS.
The Pennsylvania And Winkler Fire-trans
To Be Torn Down. Ss.
Handsome Buildings Will Be Erected n
Their Places.

After weeks Of effort the deal has at
last been effected. The old Pennsyl-
vania House property has passed into
the hands of Jacob Klossner Jr., and
within week or two the building, that
has stood as a wart on Minnesota Street
for years, will be torn downto give room
to a handsome brick structure to be
used by Mr.. Klossner as hardware
ard machine store. No definite plans
for the building have yet been decided
upon, but New UIm citizens can
rest assured that 1t will be a block
worthy of a growing city. In connec-
ton with this deal we are assured that
the Winkler building adjoining the
Pennsylvania House will also be pur-
chased by parties who will replace it
with new one. This will give a brick
frontage. Of nearly 100 feet, an improve
ment that will equal any that New Ulm
has been blessed with in years. The
town is to be congratulated on its good
luck, and thanks are due to the enter
prising men who have the matter in
hand. The example set by them is
worthy Of emulation. Minnesota street
is adorned with several old frame struc-
lures that could well afford to give way
to new ones, and it is hoped that the
spirit Of enterprise will prove conta-
glods.

SARCASTIC COMPLIMENT.
Brown Oounty's Anthony Comstock j
Praised for his Vote on the McHale

Just before the adjournment of the
legislature last week, letter was for
warded to Senator Peterson of this
county, thanking him for his vote on
the notorious anti-tights bill. 1t was
signed by large number Of his New
Ulm constituents, and contains SO
much that is good that we give it here
with in full. The Senator should trea-
sure it up as an instance Of the high re-
gard in which evidences OF morality are
always held by the people at large.
The press and the pulpit may some
times ridicule and be mistaken. No
doubt they are in the instance of this
bill. But the people are seldom de-
ceived. They are quick to recognize q
mans moral intentions and reward
them with all the commentator. de.
served. Judge from the following:
''The undersigned voters Of the Ninth
Senatorial District beg you to accept
their heartiest thanks for the support
you have given to Senator McHale's
bill, called by some in derision the anti
tights bill. In view of the fact that a
vile and proaigate press has seen fit to
shower its shafts Of ridicule upon those
who have raised their voice and cast
their vote in defense Of public purity,
we desire to assure you that the cour-
age and wisdom evinced by you on this
occasion have only deepened the feel.
ling Of respect and admiration which
your previous record as a legislator and
statesman had caused us to entertain
towards you. We feel q justifable
pride in being permitted to call oursel-
YES your townsmen, because the bill, so
ably supported by your vote, invades a
field which the lascivious of former
Legislatures had exempted from penal
enactEents. We recognize the fact that
the immortality which has hitherto been
allowed to permeate city life and to ex-
tend its alluring charms even into the
midst OF the most unsophisticated
granger Legislature, is in large mea-
sure due to that exposure of form which
the bill in question seeks to suppress;
and while we do not doubt that some
of those who have cast their votes IN
favor Of the bill have been actuated by
experiences and disapp ppointments that
shocked their aesthetic sense, we firmly
believe that your support Of the mea-
sure was due to the conviction that
beauty is created to fade away unseen.
It is our sincerest wish and hope that
the reform so auspiciously begun may
soon be extended to those works Of an
which . depraved taste still tolerates il
i our galleries. We hope that the day
may come when the Venus de Medici

They We're Too Good.

There are good many people who
prefer old things to new things, some
times, perhaps, without as good reason
for the preference as an old beggar once
showed in the matter of shoes.
This man called at the house of a
lady and begged for pair Of shoes. She
gave him nearly new pair Of her hus-
bands which he had laid aside for some
reason. A day or two afterward the
beggar returned.
"Mum,' he said, "can't you give me a
pair of shoes-some old ragged ones?"
But" said the lady, 81 have just
given you an entirely new pair; you
have them on now"

they hurt my business."-Youths Com

womanly cowardice which makes you
want to ride from the worl | at large the
fact that 1T is your duty to help in the
household that lost its protector. The
world has grown in these years, and the
self-respecting, self-supporting woman
receives her need Of respect and APP
plause. The woman who works is a
power in the land-if she does her work
we'll.
The woman who wants to sit Mt home
ana do her work secretly, because she
feels she can not face her friends (what
poor friends they must be), is not apt to
do good work and is not apt to get good
pay.
You may do some fancy-work that
your friends, for sweet charity's sake,
will buy for while, but this isn't work
ing; and If you are young, healthy, and
have ability, as you say, you don't want
to be an object of charity.
What shall you do? Go out into the
world, my girl, let the sunshine of hon
est work clear away the clouds in your
brain. Do whatsoever your hand find
for you to do with all your heart and all
your strength, and as surely as you and
/ are living you will succeed.
There is always in this world a place
for good worker; there is always prop
er payment for good work; but for poor
work. for shiftless labor, for work about
which so little pride is felt that any
body wants to hide it from the public
view, there is nothing but contempt.
The woman who works need never be
any thing but womanly, but she must
be as exact as man. She must recog-
nize the value of punctuality, and, above
all else, If she does nothing more than
sweep an office, she must conclude to
sweep that Office so we'll that she will
get better wages for it than any one
ever got BEFORE and in this way make
her first step toward success.
Success must be sought; it doesn't
come unlimited nowadays. The leave
you get to work, which Elizbeth Barrett
Browning says is the best you can get,
is yours. Having it, keep always going
ahead, each day making your work bet
ter and better; not only because your
employer has right to demand it, but
for your own honors sake.
You will learn to like it because you
do it we'll, and when the day comes
around that your wages are handed to
you there will be agreat throb of thank
fulness in your heart, not only because
you are helping those at home, but be-
cause you can stand in the sight of your
God and feel that ''the laborer is worthy
of his hire"
That is what you should do. Be hon.
