We have noticed on several occasions
that the freight trains in switching are
kept standing on the crossings longer
than is allowed by the city ordinances.
If tnis could be avoided. it would be
much more satisfactory to the public.
It would be a very commendahle step
if the property owners, who live on
State Street, would all see fit to lay
sidewalks in front of their property and
properly boulevard the required portion
of the street on each side thereof. The
city council refrained from ordering this
work done. because the assessments are
enough for one year without, but next
spring it will have to be done anyhow,
and it would be much better if those
who are able would complete the work
this fall. The street when completed
will be fine one, and the sooner it can
be<put in shape, the better.
John E. No7s, while attending the
dedication of the monument at New
Ulm recently, took stereoscopic views of
the procession in several parts of it's
march, including the passage under
the main arch, the monument at the
time Gov. Merriam was speaking, the
public park, the courthouse, Turner
hall, the public school building. and
the old pos,-office building where some
of our men did very effective fighting
during the siege of New Ulm by the
Indians. These views are reminders
of what the defenders did at at criti-
cal period of Minnesota's history, and
Mr.. Noys can supply copies of them to
all who desire them.-Le Sueur Senti-
mel.
To-day there will be solemnized at
the Lutheran church the marriage of two
Of New Ulm's popular young people,
Miss Meta Behnke, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Albert Behnke, and Mr.. Louis
Vogel, son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Jos. Vogel.
The ceremonies will be- performed by
Rev. Albrecht after the usual costum
of the Lutheran church, and this even
ing the happy young couple and their
friends will be entertained to a recep-
tion at the home OF the brides parents.
OF the contracting couple the Re-
view can only say that they are among
New Ulm's best young folks, popular
in social circles and esteemed for their
many estimable qualities. Both are
parties whom it is pleasure to know,
and it will afford delight to a host of
friends to hereafter know as one, two
who are in everywhere deserving of a
happy and prosperous union.

acquired a local reputation as mind
