New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1897-10-06

When Prof. Andree departed in his
balloon from Spitzbergen two months
ago he thought it possible to reach and
cross the pole in three or four days. Six
ty days have passed and no trace of him
has been obtained. His balloon was a
large object, but no one has caught a
glimpse Of it. Not one Of his carrier
pigeons has returned. He may have
sealed messages in bottles ard sent them
adrlft in the slight hope that they would
some day be picked up. The balloon may
have dragged in the sea or settled down
in some polar waste where escape was
impossible. There is still a CHARGE that
Andree survives, but it is hardly zone in
hundred. ST. Louis Globe Democrat.

Electric Lights.

From present indications, it is
safe to say that Lafayette will be
lighted by electric lights in about
forty-five days. Mr.. Widner, an
electrician from New Orleans, has
arrived in Lafayette and taken
charge Of the work of erecting the
plant. The brick work for the
foundation of the stand pipe was
begun Monday, and a score of
workmen are busy completing that
part of the undertaking.
The poles will soon be erected.
The gentlemen in charge are doing
their utmost to expedite business,
as great delay was caused by
quarantine regulations. Mr.. F.
Pr;ntz, of the Consolidated Engi-
neering Co., was in town during
the week, supervising the work.
Mr.. Don Caffery represents the
company, and assures The Gazette
that no trouble or expense will be in
the way Of an ea.ly completion of
the erection Of both plants.

President Mckinley is evidently
something Of an optimist and to his
eyes everything appears bright and
joyful. He says that what the
Dingley tariff has already accom-
plished assures the country of it's
timeliness and wisdom. This state
ment is made in face of the fact
that the first FIVE months of the
operation of the bill shows a trea-
sury deficiency of $50, 900, 900, and
that in the concluding paragraph of
his message he recommends a de-
crease of the expenses of many of
the branches Of 1.-THE government,
and it is to be inferred from this
that the President himself is not
of the fact that the Ding
ley tariff is going to produce a
handsome deficiency instead of a
revenue.-Daily States.

: DEMOcR4cYs CHOICE.

r. Chenille Landry, president Of
the Police Jury of this parish, was
chosen on last Monday by the Dem
ocratic Convention to represent
Lafayette parish in the coming con-
stitutional convention. No better
choice could have been made. Mr..
Landry is eminently fitted to be our
representative in that sovereign
body, which is to frame the organic
law Of the State. He has been in
simately acquainted with the local
government for number Of years,
and that experience which he has
thus acquired will undoubtedly be
Of great value.
He is Democrat, a man of ster-
ling worth and strict honesty.
In educational matters, he has
always literally and wisely appro-
priated the public funds towards
maintaining good system of public
schools fin this parish.
He was born and raised IN this
community, "to the manor born.
In the reformation of the elective
franchise, the greatest work before
the convention, he, no doubt, will
have at heart the interest and well
fare of the white people of Lafayette
parish. The platform, $upcn which
he stands, is clear-cut one. 1t
stands for white supremacy; that
above all.
The Democrats have done we'll to
choose him.
The Gazette unhesitatingly en-
dorses the honorable r. G.. Landry
as candidate for the constitutional
convention.
He stands for white supremacy, |
civilization and intelligence.

Something to know.

1t may be worth something to
know that the ve,y best medlcine e
for restoring the tired out nervous
system to a healthy vigor is Elec-
trio Bitters. This medicine is pure
ly, vegetable, acts by giving tone TO
the nerve centres in the stomach,
gently stimulates the Liver and
Kidneys, and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the ap-
petite, aids digestion, and is pro-
nounced by those who have tried it
as the very best blood purifier and
nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for soc
