New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1896-06-24

q DO The people IN this city profess th'
u Mormon faitI l;22''' es and they are We
.lry Jealous followers Of this prophet
i There is also a number Of distinguished
i ministers among them.s The priest o
this temple is especial noted for III,
veraclty and profundity Of speech. Why
the Rev. a. ". Mueller, b. D. Z. I.s D..
has..just published q theological thesis
entitled, Faith Elk plainedands Defined 4
.sWhat A.. w. Mueller How familiar
that name sounds. But the Rev. a. w.
Mueller p. D. y. 3. D., surely that can
not be our Alberto But who is that
clerically clad gentl eman olling in the
garden there? Note his noble brow, his
deep set eye, his majestic carriage! Yes,
yes, this must be my old friend Albert
of the class Of '96. Imagine my astonlsh-
ment to hear him exclaim: ..Wclcome,
welcome, old triend!" But the fairy
quickly waved her wand and / found
myself within the temple. The floor
was paved with various coiored marbles,
the walls hung with rare paintings and
every corner contained statues. AS we
wished 10 ascend to the second story,
the fairy touched a mysterious button.
Immediately we, assembled. ssWhy what
is this? What new invention?" The
fairy looked at me with wonder. .sWhy,
whence came you, where have youllived?
This is done by means OF electricity dis
covered by the ingenious contractor and
builder of this temple" We found our
selves IN q very large hall just as beauti-
full as the one below. After we had seen
everything worthy Of notice, we left the
building. "What hand could have erec-
ted, what mind conceived the grandeur
of such structure! The COLOSSUS of
Rhodes, yes all the architecture of OLD is
as mere shadow in comparison. Tru-
ly it is the wonder of all ages!" Turn
ing to view it once more my eyes caught
the following words ON slab: &c. W..
Leary, Contractor and Builder of this
Temple" Gliding slowly on, we came
to the business part of the city. Bills
were posted everywhere. What can it
be? "Boock and McKittrick, Dentists"
Oh this is I. mere advertising scheme.
I'll not be duped. just then boy came
carrying the sign ofBoock & McKittrick,
Dentists. Perdomedra informed me
that they had great reputation on ac-
count Of their inventions. For had
they not invented a magical tooth which
could be used by whole family. This
was so constructed that when the eldest
hai; dlned, the tooth passed to the next
member. This arrangement was run by
electricity applied by Mr.. Boock. But
as the cost was so enormous that only
kings ana queens could purchase, they
we're now trying to invent a way to put
it into the possession of common peo-
pie. Had not Prof. Boock spent so
much time I'D studying a queer old fash
Toned book, called, think, "Primer of
English, Literature, no doubt the servi-
ces of this invention would have been
established long ago. e, Yes, yes, he was
always noted for his love Of that Sub iect.
Early impressions are very lasting.
/ AS we passed along the street our at
tention was attracted to a sign, on which
was printed i'll large letters: "Grand
Concert tonight. given Ivy the greatest
pianist and violinist the world has ever
seen, Prof. E. C. KiesliDg." Little boys
were calling out the same announcement
wherever we passed. This astonished
me greatly, especially as Mr.. Kiesling's
genius never seemed to run in that line.
But nobody knows what the fates have
in store for u.s.. Here then, IL. this city
lived my class mates. Each one follow
ing singularly, brilliant life. This was
indeed New Ulm. Bewlldered, con-
founded, amazcd,I gazed around. My
classmates each one changed into what
seemed to me a different person. 80,
Perdonetlra, grant me one more hour in
our school-room in Old New Ulm, and
shall be satisfied"

I hear your voices softened by the dis
lance,
And pause, and turn to listen as each
sends,
His words Of friendship, comfort and as
sistance,
Perhaps On earth never shall behold,
With eye of sense your outward form
and semblance;
Therefore to- me-. ye never will grow old.
But live forever young in my remem:
