Is Suspecting Grover.

Your Uncle Loren, the doughty repre-
sentative of the fourth congressional dis
trict, in an interview with Washington
correspondent strongly intimated that
President Cleveland personally profted
by the issue of the last bonds to the no.
torious Rothschild- Morgan syndicate and
| thinks that the president IS not adverse
to anothers ISSUE Mr.. Fletcher is re-
ported as saying:
The profits of these bonds are enor-
nous, Another issue of bonds would net
them eight or ten millions under their
contract. Would Mr.. Cleveland let such
chance slip?
Asked, "Do you mean that Cleveland
is personally protited by the issue of the
bond?" he replied:
1t certainly comes very close to him.
His personal friends are in the syndicate
and it is understood that his old partner
drew up the agreement with the syndi-
cate. Many people believe that he is IN
the deal. 1t is q bad piece of business
when our government must depend for
financial protection on Wall street and a
clique of Hebrew bankers
In Mr.. Fletcher's opinion the talk of
the public spirit and patriotism of the
members of the syndicate is all foolish
ness.
"They arc in the scheme of making
money and will serve the government as
long as they can serve their own ends
and no longer"

For treating three Sioux Indians to
beer, John Hoffman,, a shoemaker at
Morton, was arrested, placed under 5000
bonds and lodged in the Blue Earth
County jail to await the action of the
United States grand jury for the offense.
The Indians belong to the Redwood
Agency and ale undoubtedly some of the
same fellows who played ball here on
the 18th. The arrest of Hoffman, was
made by Marshal Campbell.
Last Thursday morning, while the
sexton in the Catholic church was clean
ing up the basement, he noticed that the
vault had been entered by burglars, a
hole having been bored into the lock bv
means of the ordinary burglar drills.
From the vault there had taken a gold
chalice, that was the personal property
of Rev. Schroeder, having been presented
to him at his silver jubilee ten years ago !;
also a gold ciborium and other articles
of lesser value. When the theft was
committed it is impossible to say, for the
sexton has had no occasion to 90 into
the vault since the holiday of Corpus
Christi. ~

Acts of Aldermen,

\ special meeting of the City Council
of the City of New Tim was held Aug
ust 9th, 1895, pursuant to call Of the
president.
All members were present, except
Councillors Boesch and Rudolph who
are absent on leave, and President Jacob
Klossncr Jr. occupied the chair.
The president stated that the meeting
was called for the transaction Of general
business.
Mr.. August Gicseke then appeared
and made complaint, that owing to the
tearing up of Minnesota Street, the
Sprinkling of said street could not be
performed according to contract. After
hearing arguments relative thereto, the
council decided that as the city had no
contract with Mr.. Gieseke covering such
an emergency, it could therefore do moth
ing in the matter
On application permission was granted
to Mrs. Epple to remove the wagon
scales now in front of her premises to the
south side OF Third North Street, thirty
feet west Of Minnesota Street and close
to the gutter.
Councillor Brust then offered the fol-
lowing resolution:
Whereas the City Council finds it nee
pssary to provide a suitable room for the
Keeping Of the city records, the present
room not being sufficiently safe, and also
Il suitable loom for the holding of coun-
Gil meetings, be it therefore resolved
that building be erected on the south
side of the lot now partially covered by
the Fire Engine House, and that said
building be "a by SO feet and 10 feet
high and provided with a vault, 6 by 10
feet,tor the safe keeping of the city rec
ords, and that said building be used as
an office for the city clerk and for the
holuing Of council meetings.
Further resolved, that Herman Schap-
ekahm be requested to draw plans and
specifications for the said building and
present the same to the city council at
an early date.
Further resolved, that the clerk give
notice, inviting sealed bids for the con-
struction of the said building, bids to be
received at the city clerks office up to
Monday, August 26th, 1895, at pm,
and each bid to be accompanied by a
certified check for 800. The council
reserves the right to reject any or all
bids.

To the General Public.

In March, 1894, the merchants of this
city agreed that on and after the first
Sunday in April of the same year, all the
stores should remain entirely closed on
Sundays, that the clerks might enjoy the
one day of rest each week to which they
are justly entitled. This agreement was
kept for some time, but of late some
have again been accommodating their
customers, thus compelling the other
merchants to demand of their clerks to
return to the stores on Sunday, thereby
deprivlng them of a day to which they
are entitled by the common law of the
state. To this the clerks have strenuous
ly objected and have asked for redress.
Accordingly the undersigned have agreed
on this the 10th day Of August, and have
given their word of honor as men, that
they would hereafter sell no goods to
anyone on the day commonly called
Sunday, cases of death only excepted
To this end they ask the support of the
general public, which can he given by
not asking any of us to sell you goods
on that day.

Historic War Events Which Took
Place on That Day.
Many an old soldier on Memorial Day
looks back to scenes and events Of the
war suggested In conversation or revived
By the sight of former comrade. The
occurrences in line as Anniversary" hap
penings grouped below, will be Of inter-
est to those who participated and those
who remember. They tell what took
place on the Both Of May, thirty-four,
thirty-three, thirty-two, thirty-one and
thirty years ago this Decoration Day:
May 30. 1861, a solitary war event Of
little importance marked the advance Of
the Federal forces through Virginia. This
was the occupation of Grafton BY the
Union troops.
May 80. 1852, three active skirmishes
occurred-at Fair Oaks, Va; Tranter's
Greek. N. O.. and at Zuni. Va. On the
same day Bonneville, Miss, was. cap
tured. the Cypress Greek and Tuscumbia
bridges were destroyed, Corinth was evac-
uated BY the Confederates, martial law
was proclaimed in Texas, and Port Royal,
Va, came under Federal control.
May 80, 1853, the notable occurrences
were skirmish at Greenwich, Va, an at
tack on the Confederate camp at Car
thage, Tenn, and the capture of Tappa-
hammock, Va. by four Federal gunboats.

PATRIOTIC OBSERVATION.

1t Should Not Be Left Alone to Or.
xanizations of Old Soldiers.
At this season there should be no alloy
in the golden tribute of our country to the
soldiers, says the Chicago Graphic. Their
memory should be cherished, their bravery
extolled and their examples emulated. It
10 impossible to value too highly their
deeds on Southern battle fields, nor to
speak too emphatically of their patriotic
motives. The inculcation of the lessons
Of patriotism is as much duty a. the de-
tense of the country. The anniversary OF
the day when the graves of our beloved
heroes are strewn with the flowers of q
nations love should be observed with all
the fervor which q patriotic and home
loving people can command.
The observation of Decoration Day
should not be left alone to the organiza-
tons of old soldiers. A grateful nation
should make of the day an annual occa-
sion for the rehearsal of the valorous
deeds of "the boys of 81" citizens should
vie with each other in exemplifying their
affection for them, and the youth Of tho
land then, If at no other time, should
hear the history of their achievements A
patriotic people must not suffer the stigma
that they have allowed the enthusiastic
and hearty recognition of this occasion
gradually to fail,

There are 50 national cemeteries, contain.
ing 327, 179 soldiers, nearly onc-half Of
whom are classified as unknown" TWEEN.
ey-one Of these burial spots contain over
5000 bodies each, among them the famous
cemeteries Mt Vicksburg and Corinth, in
Mississippi. At Salisbury, N. c., out Of
total of 12,132. only 81 are known"
At Andersonville and Hampton, Va,
more than nine-tenths are identified. At
the Soldiers Home, Washington, nine
teen-twentieths, and at the cemeteries at
st. Augustine, Fla, and Battle Ground.

The largest interments are at Vicks-
burg, where there are 5000 Of the dead.
At Nashville. 1852 are buried. The
smallest national cemetery is at Beverly,
N. j., and contains only 1874.

unknown, under long white rows Of
headstones, ranked and serried a. when
they fell fighting for their country.

ever. something more than widowed

30 terribly, that for thirty years doubt
and anguish had lain necessarily over her
soul like q hideous pail.
Fastening to hear her wounded, dying
husbands last words, accompanied by
their only child, little Myrtle, then one
year old, the river boat on which they
were passengers had been attacked, burn
ed and sunk BY guerrillas.
Mother and child were separated In the
confusion Of rescue, and when the terrible
night had passed away, little Myrtle was
nowhere to be found.
The frantic mother had haunted the
vicinity for weeks, with others, seeking
for traces of missing friends. What had

ashore, broken -heartedly she decided that
her child had found q watery grave.
