New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1898-05-04


ousted Charles r. Davis from the office
Of city clerk and attorney, after holding
it for twenty years. H. n. Benson, a
young lawyer, succeeds him.
The governor and adjutant general
have decided to mobilize all Of the Min
nesota troops at the State Fair grounds.
1t. Col. Mead of Mankato was dropped
down q peg by the governor in the
makeup of the new regiments. This
was done in order to make place for 1t.
Mccoy of the regular army. Mccoy has
the rank of lieutenant colonel under
Bobleter, while Mead takes that of
ranking major.
Representative McClearY has received
a telegraphic protest from the Minneso-
ia Bottlers' Association against the
change in the duty on mineral waters.
It is represented that the change pro-
posed by the ways and means committee
will ruin the business.
The GAINESVILLE Argus notes that c.. w.
H. Heideman has an acre of ground in
that city which affords hlm much de-
light and pleasure. Here he puts in con-
siderable time maturing prellminaries
looking to the cultivation of shrubbery,
plants and flowers. Heideman ha
mania for horticultural studies and he
has pursued the idea with so much per-
sistency and success that he ranks an ac-
knowledged authority on the subject all
over the country, the Unite States, we
may safely say. Should GAINESVILLE be so
fortunate as to retain his good d-natured
physiognomy here for a year or two or
longer we shall = see materialized a
profusion of plants and flowers such as
may bewilder the eye by it's wonderful
beauty and selection.
| A base ball club has been organized
in Springfield with Herman Bau as man
ager and W. Cady as captain.
A. c.. Ochs has sold farm of 100
acres in Burnstown to Elwood Haush

the following towns to organize militia
companies to constitute the First and
Second regiments: St. Paul and Mime
apolis, each two companies, Morris, Lu-
verne, Willmar, Litchfeld, Winthrop,
! Worthington, Owatonna, West Duluth,
i Madison, Fergus Falls, Park Rapids,
i Browns Valley, Mankato, Pipestone,
! Albert Lea, Winona and Benson. The
4 present officers of the national guard
were much opposed to the formation Of
new regiments, inasmuch as 1t would
throw them out Of their positions at the
end of the war, but Gov. Clough' was de-
} termined to have organized militia to
take the place of those who have entered
the volunteer service, and turned them
do wn in spite of their protests.
The Advance says that Ferdinand Bl.
got o. s pringfeld has bought the Noble
Allen farm in Stately for $500; also
