parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Mueller.
The Sportsmen's Club held its quart

Next week the Review will bring a
reply from Capt. Steinhauser of Com
pany ''A'' to the uncalled.for slurs of
Col. Chantler of the St. Paul Dispatch
upon Private Shaeffer, which were
quoted in our last issue. Col. Chantler
will lind in this reply few pointers,
which perhaps did not occur to his
mind, when he wrote his sarc aslic
article. -..
On Monday, Col. VIM. Pfaender was
Is years of age, and the anniversary
was made the most remarkable of his
life. In the evening he went to Turner
Hall to attend regular meeting OF
Hecker Post, of which he is commander,
and at the close of the meeting Vice
Commander Louis Schil]ing stepped
forward and in few well-chosen and
apt remarks presented the Colonel with
a handsome and costly gold-headed
cane. The reel pient, of course, was
overcome with feeling, but his response,
while containing but few words, showed
that he appreciated to full extent the
valuable token of esteem.
The Indianapolis Hoosier of the 9th
pays the following compliment to. a
former New Ulm lady: "Hoosier is
pleased to present this week the like
ness of Miss Frances Mueller, teacher
of calisthenics in the public schools Of
Indianapolis. Miss Mueller is the only
woman graduate of the local Turner
school and her proficiency in the mat
ter of physical culture gives cause for
much rejoicing amongst the fathers and
mothers of the Hcosier capitol. All of
the boys and girls consider Miss Muel-
Ter near and dear friend. We trust
that the foundation which she has laid
IN this city will be but a commencement
of future big things"
The school board held a meeting Fri
day night and after considerable wrang-
~ over the selection Of teacher to fill
MIR. Steinhauser's vacancy. it was deci-
ded to offer the position to Thomas H.
Jappe of Davenport, Iowa, at a salary
of 5000 year: Mr.. Jappe is a gradu-
ate Of the Altoona 'gymnasium' and was
for several years student in the uni
versities of Kiel and Berlin, a course
of study which gave him license to teach
in any of the "gymnasiums'' of Germa-
ny. He taught six years in that coun-
try, one year in Connecticut and eight
years in the public schools of Daven-
port, where he served as high school in.
structor in history and German. Supt.
Young and several members of the Da.
venport Board of Eduction recommend
him as superior scholar and an able
and successful teacher.
The Globe of Friday contained an in
terestiWg article regarding one Ham
merbacher, who is not altogether un-
known in New Ulm. 1t appears that
for several years he had been treasurer
Of the Sons of Hermann lodge in St.
Paul, and while acting in such capacity
absconded with the funds of the lodge
to the extent of $4,000. When next
heard of he had been arrested in New
York bue managed to escape imprison-
ment there by saying that he never was
in St. Paul and knew nothing of such a
city. just previous to his arrest, he
had endeavored to captiva,e a rich
young widow of New York, but hearing
of the arrest, she had correspondent
with St. Paul parties and learned of his
escapade as treasurer of lodge, and also
of the manner in which be had left his
wife and children. By that time, how
ever, Hammer bacher had left New
York, and has not been heard Of since.
To New Ulm people the account of his
adventures will be of interest, as it was
here that his marriage with St. Paul
girl, Miss Peterman, was solemnized.
