at Morton. It will certainly touch New
Ulm and follow the Minnesota river
until it makes the connection.

what Herb. says: "There is one thing
which puzzles our bachelor mind: It
is, why do ladies, when they call on
the News, do SO when the editor is
out7 We sit day after day in our
sanctum, hoping to have it graced by
the occasional representatives of the
fair sex, but no sooner does the editor
