New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1898-09-21
Postoffice
Robbed.
Burglars Manage to Get Away with $500
of Uncle Sans Stamps.
The Sum of Sl75 in Cash Was Also Re-
moved From the Safe. No Glue.

Burglars, evidently professionals from
the nicely with which they performed
their work, entered the postofice Thurs
day night, cracked the safe and stole
$175 in money, $500 in stamps, certif-
cate of deposit for $500 and few pa.
pers of no value to anyone but the post
master.
The certificate of deposit and ten cents
worth of two cent stamps were found
the next day in one of the railroad box
cars, but aside from this nothing was re-
covered, and 1t isn't at all likely that
anything ever will be.
The burglars were too shrewd for that
They not only stole the tools with which
to do the work, but they we're even smart
enough to leave them right on the ground
to illustrate to an astonished postmaster
and curious public the ease with which
such feats can be performed
The entrance was made through win
dow at the rear of the building. This
was pried open with pickaxe. Passing
through the warehouse of the drugstore,
the burglars evidently tried to open the
door leading from the warehouse into the
postottice and, not succeeding at once,
the indications are that they took a
stepladder route through the high VIM
dow which admits the light through the
warehouse into the rear end of the post
office.
The tools used were stolen, as it was
discovered Friday morning, from Kies-
ling's blacksmith shop. They consisted
merely of pickaxe, sledge hammer
and small steel rod. The method of
cracking the safe was simple. The CON-
bination knob was first knocked off and
then the steel roo was driven into the
lock, breaking it and forcing it from it's
position. This caused the lever to fall
and the safe was open.
Once open, the burglars took all in
sight, and for Friday mornings business
the office was without stamp.
The entrance and exit were both made
without disturbing any of the occupants
of the building, and Mr.. Weddendorf,
the postmaster, was the first to learn,
when he visited tie Office the next morn
ing, of what had TRANSFERRED.
A fter leaving the building, the burg
lars must have made direct for the rail-
road yards with their booty. The TIN
cash box was found the next day in the
park, and the nig ht crew of the St. Louis
yard saw two men making their way
through the slo ugh with dark lanterns.
How they got out of town is known
to no one; neither is the direction taken
by the thieves.
Three suspicious looking characters
were arrested Friday morning, but there
was no evidence against them and they
were released.
One of the burglars was undoubtedly
the man who visited Koehler's barber.

being shaved that night and in hurry

ects and when asked why he did so, sim.
ply replied that two were better thar
one.

- man, he swears
and gets drunk. Few men realize what it is
that makes a woman cross, fretful, and
nervous. If they did, they would see to it
that their wives took proper care of the
health of the organs distinctly feminine,
and resorted to the proper remedy to make
them str Vug and healthy In a womanly way.
The best medicine for nervous, fretful,
irritable women is DR.. Pierce's Favorite

cause. 1t acts directly on the feminine or

vigor: 1t soothes Inflammation and cor
reefs all weakening drains. It will make a
sick woman well, and fretful, cross woman
happy and amiable. It prepares woman
for the duties of motherhood, and taken
during the expectant period makes baby's
coming easy and almost painless. Women
who wish to know more about this great
remedy should write to its discoverer, DIR.
R. v. Pierce, chief consulting physician to
the Inva1ids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
at Buffalo, N. Y.
Mr.. S. J. Bartlett (Teacher), of Granger, Sweet

Tarred and Feathered.


About 25O or $50 men, disguised as
::White caps, visited the house Of Su-
sic Colston, near Smithfeld, Wettsel
county, W. Va, on Thursday night and
dragged the inmates, six women and
three men, out of bed in their night
clothes. No time was given them to
get their clothes, money or valuables.
The house was then blown to pieces
pieces with sticks of dynamite. The
inmates were tarred and feathcred and
taken to the Suman house and all lock-
ed in Il room together till daylight. No
apparent effort WAS made to discover
who did the act. and the popular sentl-
ment is that nothing wrong was done.

Utilizing Waste Products.

After harvest there are numberlcss
articles of produce about the farm for
which there seems to be no good use
and consequently they 60 to waste. For
instance. in the vegetable garden there
are small green tomatoes, cucumbers.
small musk-melons, onions. ect., not
enough to take to market, perhaps, or
possibly not quite up to the market
grade. All these things will make good
pickles for home use during the winter
if saved, cleaned and put into brine as
they are gathered and taken out and put
into vinegar when wanted for use. Then
there are orchard fruits more or less Of
which annually go to waste. but which
ought to be preserved or dried for fami-
ly use. In the vegetable garden. again
there is more or less late green stuff
which it will pay to carefully store for
winter feeding of stock and poultry
when it will bring return much beyond
It's present value. Then there is the
general result from clearing up which
has NO salable value, but which will
form portion Of compost heap and
can be returned to the land in year or
two at the most in the form Of 4 valua
bic fertilizer These waste products of
the farm will often mark the line be-
tween profit and loss, and are we'll worth
considering when fertilizing even by
successful farmers.

Heading for the GalloWs.

Recently two attempts have been
made to wreck railroad trains at Maui
din in Greenville County. About ten
days agoa negro boy twelve years Of age
placed spike on the rail and the train
ran over it. smashing it slightly. The
negro then stuck the spike between the
rails where they joined, and the next
train broke it off. He was arrested and
confessed. Wednesday three white
boys named Brooks, who live near
MauIdin, were arrested, and they
waived the preliminary and gave bond.
They placed shovel plow on the track

ATALE CT HORROR.
The Bodies Of Dead Spaniards Belhg
Burned

\ dispatch from Santiago says the
bodies Of dead Spaniards continue to
be crcmated O2cr 700 have been
burned so far Wednesday 10 were
to be burned. Over two rails 4 dozen
bodies arc stretched. across them anoth-
or dozen. and then about 80 corpse are
stacked in an immense funeral pile 10
high. The pile is then saturated with
Kerosene and the torch applied. \ fall
OF rain put out the fire. causing the
bodies to be only half burned. Around
the pile lay % collins containing corpses
in state Of decomposition. Several
naked bodies were strcwn upon the
ground in a state Of putrcfaction. Al
together about 70 unburicd and uncon-
sumed bodies lay around The stencil
was terrible This happened ata cem-
etcry within the city limits. The
authorities and the cemetery otEi-
cials say it is impossible to get men
to work at the cremation. Wages
of 81 day prove no induccmcnt to the
natives to work at this gruesome toll.
The unconsumed bodies will be left
upon the earth until Thursday, when
fine weather may help the work Of Gre
nation. These 30 corpScs represent
two days dead from the Spanish camp.
The danger TO the population from the
stencil. the presence Of the buzzards.
vultures and flies is incalculable.

Paid the Penalty.

\ special from Americus, Ca. says:
The most flemish crime in the history
of Sumter county or the whole State
was committed at Friendship. y miles
west Of here Friday night, Mrs. James
McGarrah and her son, James Boone,
were murdered by negro man with an
ak while they were IN their beds. After
this double murder the fend outraged u

woods and mutilated her in a shocking
manner. She died also, but not until
she had told the murdercrs name. He
told other negroes that he had killed
three people Friday night, thenlorrow

Defends Gen. Shafter.

Postmaster 4. ". Wills of Nashville,
Tenn. received a letter from Gen. Joe
Wheeler Friday. dated Santiago de
Cuba, July p, 1898. in which Gen.
Wheeler says, referring to newspaper
reports concerning Gen. Shafter:
Il lhink the criticisms upon Gen.
Shafter were very unjust. lie has had
a hard task, and has performed it sue.
cessfully and well. He is a man Of
more than ordinary brain power and
administrative ability The criticism
that ne did not place himself on the tr-
ing line is ridiculous as on July he
was carrying on two fights at the same
time-one at Caney and one at San
Juan. He had some reserves: and had
to place himself where he could see
both fights and manage the whole al
fair. which he did efficiently. With
very high regards,
Truly your friend.

TO MUSTER THEM OUT.
Many Of the Volunteer Troops to Be
Relieved.

Late Wednesday night President Nc
Kinley announced his decision to mus
ter out of the service from $4,000 to
100000 of the volunteers. Those to
be discharged will include all the
branches of the service, infantry, artil-
lery and cavalry. From prominent
official of the administration it is un-
derstood to be che desires of the Presi-
dent to ascertain the wishes Of the
volunteer troops themselves as to re-
naming in the service. One or two
organizations have already indicated a
desire to leave the service as soon as the
government can reasonably do without
them. They are composed largely OF
business and working men. whose priv
ate interests are suffering by reason Of
their absence from home. So far as the
interests Of the governmentwill permit,
it is believ ID that the President, in
the mastering out Of the volunteers:
will accommodate himself to the desires
Of the men. 1t may be some tine be-
fore the organizations to be mustered
out will be designated, but the reduc-
ton in the volunteer force will be made
as soon as practicable.

a Horrible Story.

\ regiment encamped in Virginia
n ear Manassas, recently invaded a cem-
etary, dug up the remains Of a Confed-
crate officer and distributed his bones
among themselves as souvenirs. 1t Is
almost incredible that any set Of men
wearing the uniform Of the United
States army could be found who are so
british as to be capable of perpetrating
such an outrage. 1t appears, however,
that there are grounds for believing
that this horrible story is true and a
court martial has been ordered to in
vestigate the charge. It is said that
the ghouls who opened and robbed the
grave are Kansas volunteers. The At
lanta Journal very properly says that
the matter should be sifted to the bot
tom and if the alleged outrage was com
mittcd and the guilty wretches can be
discovered they should not only be
drummed out of the service, but also
prosecuted under the laws Of Virginia
and made to suffer the extreme penalty

The Hong Kong correspondent Of the
London Daily Mail says: ''The terms
Of capitulation Of Manila agreed upon
Saturday between Gen. Jaudemes and
Gen. Merritt includes the cession of
the Philippine archipelago to the United
States. An American naval officer
who arrived from Manila or the Iafro,
tells me that the Americans practically
walked into Manila. The operations.
he says, were confined to the Malate
side of the city, where the Spaniards

The troops waded through the Malate

The conditions at Santiago arc cauS-

believed that more troops will be or

have been issued directing the Fifth
regular infantry, now at Tampa, to pro

have been made as to the condition Of
the immune regiments, which have not

OUR VICTORIOUS WARs8Ips.
/ Grand Demonstration ii New York
Harhor Saturday:

New York aud thu nation fitli;: SatG;
i.y signalizcd their appreciation OF the
victorious fleet. An imposing naval
pageant OF warships has been reviewed
in the harbor of the largest city in the
country with acclamations Of delight
and admiration and an ovation from
the shore, and from the great Hotlllas
of all sorts of craft on the water vas
Significantly given to the returning he
r0cS
Long before sunrise 4 gun was fired
from Castle William, on Governors
Island The people We're astir, and
crowds were hurrying to the river to be
carly on the scene. The New York and
New Jersey shores were crowded. The
river and bay were literally alive with
craft. and the craft alive with people
all cheering and good natured. An i'm
prcssiye scene was when the flags were
raised on the forts and the flagship.
As the starry banners were raised aloft
the bands at the forts and on the flag
ships played the Star Spangled Ban
ner and the shores rang with patriotic
cheers.
There was very little friction in car
rying out the programme and no more
delay than was expected. The citizens
committee left the foot Of Cortland
street on the steamer Glenn Island and
proceeded down the bay followed by
long retinue of all sorts and descrlp-
ton of craft At Tompkinsville- the
mayor and committee of 10 debarked
and boarded the police boat. The pat
rol then headed for the flagship with
it's colors flying and the bands playing.
The Staten Island shores were liter
ally lined with people and they all
Joined in general acclamation with
the people on the myriads Of boats.
The welcoming ceremonies were short
but impressive. The ceremonies over,
amid the hoarse shrieking Of the steam
whistles and hosannas Of the throhgs
on shore and water, the mayor and the
committee returned to the Glen Island.
Then came the event of the day. There
was considerable wigwagging on the
battleships and police boats which
headed the l:ne. Then came the Glen
Island and then the battleships began
to slowly move up the bay.
There was salutes from cannon and
cheers from people and the toots from
thousands of whistles made an inde-
scribable din. Soon the monster pa
geant was in line. First came Admiral
SIMPSONS flagship, New York then
Admiral Schley's flagship, the Brook
lyn, then the Massachusetts,, Oregon,
Iowa. Indiana and Texas and after
them. moving in a mass, all sizes and
descriptions with flags waving and peo-
pie cheering.
The battleships moved slowly and
majestically. As Governors island
was passed there was tremendous re-
port from the guns that did so much ex-
ecution at Guantanamo and Santiago.
The people on shore and aAoat went
wild. They yelled and screamed, way
ed flags and jumped up and down in pa
triotic Juror, and so it was all the way
up to Grants tomb, where there was 4
final demonstration Of patriotic fervor.
such as New York has never witnessed
before. The Pageant was viewed and
.cheered by a hundred thousand people.
