Liucoln's Nerve.

The precise date of the opening of
Denton Offut's store is not known. We
only know that on July s., 1881, the
Court of Sangamon County granted Of
futt a license to retail merchandise at
New Salem; for which he paid SIS, a fee
which supposed him. to have $1,000 worth
of goods in stock. When the oxen and
their drivers returned with the goods, the
store was opened in little log house on
the brink of the hill, almost over the ri
yer.
The frontier store filled unique place.
Usually it was general store," and On
its shelves were found most of the arti-
clcs needed in community of pioneers.
But to be place for the sale of dry goods
an6 groceries was not its only function;
it was a kind of intellectual and social
center. It was the common meeting
place of the farmers, the happy refuge
of the village loungers. No subject was
unknown there. The habitues of the place
were equally at heme IN talking politics,
religion or sport. Stories were told, jokes
were cracked and laughed at, and the
news contained in the latest newspaper
finding its way into the wilderness was
discussed. Such store was that of
Denton Offutt. Lincoln could hardly
have chosen surroundings more favora-
BILE to the highest development of the
art of storytelling, and he had not been
there long before his reputation for drol-
lery was established.
A man came into the store one day
who used profane language in the pre-
sence of ladies. Lincoln asked him to
sop; but the man persisted, swearing
that nobody should prevent his saying
what he wanted to. The women gone,
the man began 70 abuse Lincoln so hotly
that the latter finally said, coolly; "Well
if you must be whipped, suppose I
might as we'll whip you as any other
man," and going outdoors with the fel-
low, he threw HIM on the ground and
rubbed smartweed in his eyes until he
beloved for mercy. Now Salem's sense
of chivalry was touched, and enthusiasm
over Lincoln increased. .,..
His honesty excited no less admiration.
Two incidents seem to have particularly
impressed the community. Having dis
covered on one occasion that he had
taken 64cts. too much from customer,
he walked three miles 4hat evening, after
his store was closed, to return the money.
Again, he weighed out half pound of
tea, as he supposed. 1t was night, and
this was the last thing he did before clos
ing up. On entering in the morning
he discovered a 4-ounce weight on the
scales. He saw his mistake, and, clos
ing up shop, hurried off to deliver the

New Ulm's Leading Industries Show Up.
Well for 1895.
T. =, , :, =.
The Statistics of the Mills are Actually
Astonishing. -..
Over Two Million and Half Bushels Of
Wheat Ground into Flour.
It requires at Least a Million and a quar-
ter Dollars to Pay for Same.
Other Industries Equally Prosperous and
Encouraging.
- ~
The Building improvements for the Year
in the Neighborhood Of $l50,000. r

The Review has taken the trouble to
gather some of the statistics regarding a
few of our leading industries, and we
feel sure that the figures will not only
prove interesting but surprising. The
mills, Of course, represent our leading
industry, and while 1895 was not even
ansaverage year among millers, the ac-
,companying reports show that our local
institutions have more than held their
own.
The Eagle Mill Co. has a record as fol-
flows:
Bushels of Wheat Ground... .1,918,543
Approximate value. ........ $95O,0OO
. Barrels of Flour. ......... 4O7,571
Hands Employed. SO
Expense. $123,94S
The New Ulm Roller Mill Co.: pro-
prietors Of the Empire and Roller Mills,
quote the following statistics:
Bushels of Wheat Ground. -. 100000
Value of Wheat. $3.50, 900
Barrels Of Flour. ........... 10000
Hands employed. ........... 47
Paid for Wages. ............ $3S, 900
In summing up these figures one finds
the total number of bushels of wheat
that were ground into flour by the three
merchant mills to he 2,53S,553,s to pay
for which required at least 81, 100000,
an outlay which is enormous when given
a moments thought. Turned into -four
1t made 537,562 barrels, nearly every
barrel of which was shipped outside of
the state.
To do this great amount Of work near
ly $50 men are employed the year round
and the pay roll IS about $125,0OO.
The building and other improvement
statistics are also entertaining, as indica-
tive of the substantial and rapid growth
ot the town. TO add $150,00O to homes
and the general improvement of the ci-
ty year after year is no small matter, ,and
it should be a source of satisfaction to
every inhabitant of the city.

the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy's

really remarkable exhibit Not only
did this company's February net re-

than any February net in the COM

expenses to gross earnings has been
heavily cut down--it is 1515 per cent.
less than in February, 1S95-but even
allowing for this, the traffic returns
are noteworthy. They suggest that the

Mon TN Different Periods OF tho History of

"The New Idea of God" was the sub

evening by the Rev. w. II. Dickerman
at the Church Of the Messiah. The
speaker quoted from the Bible text,
showing the different conceptions of
God among the Hebrews at the various
periods in the history of that race. In
conclusion Mr., Dickerman said:
To-day we entertain the idea OF the
fatherhood of God, but some, even in
this enlightened age, have not fully
possessed that idea, while others are
but little in advance of ancient Jewish
thought on this subject. You will find
them at the foot of Mt. Sinai listening
to the thunder that accompanied the
giving of the law or busy with the pots
kettles and bloody sacrifices in the tab
ernacle. If you will go to the other eX-
