New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1894-01-17

Senator s. D. Peterson, according to
daily papers has been in St. Paul, en-
deavoring to get a certificate for VIM. A.
Milne. If smooth talk.could secure the
coveted permit to teach, we believe,
Sam to be the proper man to send on
such mission.
The writer has recently come into pos
session of very good photograph OF
the Great Commoner, Henry Clay, pre-
sented to him by Mrs. John Clay, his
daughter in-law: Also one of Admiral
John L. Worden, who as Commodore.
commanded the Monitor in the celebra-
ted fight with the Merrimac.
An old register of the Dakota House,
running from 1860 to 1869 was being
scanned by reporter last week, and it
is safe to say that A. Blanchard's lame
appears therein not less than three. hun
dred times. Judge Cox also kept him.
self busy, when the club wasn't in ses-
sion, in scrawling his well-known sigma
ture over the pages for future reference
I. NJ. Olson, student under Lind &
Hagberg and lately admitted to the bar
by the State Examining Board, has deci-
ded to shift for himself and will launch
into the legal business this week. He
has picked out Redwood Falls as a de-
sirable point for young man, and we
feel assured that deserved success will
attend him. Go forth bravely, Ingram,
and may the fees be with you.
M. E. Matthews, of Marshall, has been
appointed Receiver of the Marshall Land
Office by President Cleveland. E. P.
Freeman has been holding the office up to
date, but his commissioned expired last
week, and Mr.. Matthews will according
ly enter at once upon his duties. AS an
old New Ulm citizen and lawyer, the Re-
views congratulations are extended, to-
gether with commentator for the excel
lence of the appointment.
Robert Stocker has added another
feather to his bonnet and another reason
for pride among the people of New Ulm.
The Lieutenant was one of the Annopo-
lis cadets sent to France to take a
course at the Maritime engineering school
of the French government, and the news
is now flashed across the ocean that Mr..
Stocker ranked first in the class, receiv-
ing 1749 marks out possible 1900. It
makes US feel good.
Christian Scheible, for many years an
honored citizen Of New Ulm, died at Chi
cago on the nth at the age of sixty -four
years. Mr.. Scheible removed to Chica-
go sometime ago, but he will he we'll
membered by our older residents. Before
his death, he expressed the desire that
his body be cremated and according the
remains were taken to Graceland ceme-
terry Saturday morning, where the ashes
were buried in the family lot.
"Masken Ball" at Turner Hall always
means an event the like of which is never
offered in any other town in the North
west. Here masquerade means some
thing-not rough and tumble display
CT the ridiculous, but genuine humor,
costly character sketches and Ingenious
ly designed groups. But it is not neees-
sary to go into further description. The
whole state knows what a first-c ass mas
querade in New Ulm is and every wit
ness Of one is only too willing to go to
another. That which is to be given at
Turner Hall next Saturday evening will
be no exception to tie general order of
excellence. In fact from what has been
reported of preparations it will discount
all former ones.
By what means, foul or otherwise, the
privilege of a special state examination
begun at Redwood Falls, contrary to the
rules Of the Department of Instruction
was procured by W. A. Milne, we do
not know. We do know, however, that
once admitted to the state exam
nations, Milne could have compelled
the State Board of Examiners to COM
plete his examination according to law.
Why did he not do it? Why did he not
ask with the Artful Dodger in Oliver
Twist, "I'm am Englishman, amt I?
Where are my privileges?''
In his photographed sketch, which
the Board of examiners at length sue
ceeded in getting from him, Nov. 20
1898, w. A. Milne numerates the branch
es studied by him. The following branch
es, required by law for Professional
State Certificate are not given in said
sketch: U, S. History. General HISTORY.
