CHURCH BELL DEDICATED.

The new bell in the Norwegian Uni
ta1ian church of Linden was dedicated
the ceremonies being very i'm
pressive. Rev. A. E. Norman of that
church oficiated, assisted by Rev. Fir
gau Of New Ulm, who delivered the ded-
icatory sermon. Miss Julia De Nora
Ouren acted as organist and soloist at
the occasion. During the afternoon SER
vices Mr.. Ole Jorgenson Of New Ulm
gave brief sketch of the history of the
church. In 1881 the edifce was de-
stroyed by cyclone and was rebuilt in
1883. Mr.. Jorgenson Jr., in behalf of
the Young Peoples Society presented
the bell and a picture and altar piece
were presented by Rev. and Mrs. Nor
man. The forenoon and afternoon ser
vices were unusually we'll attended,
numerous people from a great distance
being present.

On Board the Alcantara.

The present season is undoubtedly the
best adapted for evening cuttings and
none Of these outings compare to the ex-
cursions made every evening by the va
por launch Alcantara, the weather per-
mitting. The scenery along the Mime
sofa is beautiful, and may be viewed to
the best advantage from aboard the AL
cantara. The accommodations offered
by this pretty little craft are superior to
any outing ever arranged IN this or sur
founding cities, they are simply grand.
A trial trip on the Alcantara will con-
vince everybody of the truth of the
above, and we say this from personal ex-
perien"e. 1t is the most pleasant trip
and can be had for 25 cents.

Adjournment After Six Days Successful
Meeting.

The conference of the German Luth-
eran Synod of Minnesota convened last
Wednesday and after the usual divine
service, Vice President K. F. Schulze of
Mankato called the meeting to order.
The sessions were held IN the church edi
tice. Owing to the delay in railroad
transportation, caused by the severe rain
and thunderstorms, the attendance was
not as large as expected, only sixty two
delegates answering to roll-call. Prof.
Schaller lectured on the scriptural doc
trines on the oath Thursday morning
and from that day on the morning ses-
sions were solely devoted to the discus
sion of the theses propounded by Prof.
Schaller. The afternoon sessions were
taken up with business of the Synod.
The following trustees were elected for
three years each: Rev. K. F. Schulze of
Mankato, Rev. G. J. Albrecht of New
Ulm, F. H. Retzlaff of New Ulm, F.
Eichhorn of Mankato and F. H. Buelow
of Sleepy Eye. On Saturday delegates
were elected to the general synod COM
prising Minnesota, Wisconsin. Michigan
and other states, convening at Colum bus,
Wis, in August. Rev. F. Lankenan
spoke on the missionary work among
the colored people in New Orleans, La,
and Rev. Meyerhcf lectured Monday on
his missionary experience among the
Apaches in Arizona
The presidents report shows that ten
new ministers were added to the roll OF
the synod, all graduates from the the
illogical seminary at Wauwatosa, Wis.
The treasury of the synod had a total
income of $4,000 which was applied to
the purposes designated by the donors.
The present officers of the synod are
Rev. Gausewitz of St. Paul, president
August Gundlach of St. Paul, treasurer
Rev. Fettinger of Morgan, secretary.
Their term of Office is for three years
and expires next year.
Yesterday morning the last meeting
of the synod was held at the Lutheran
| church. The minutes of the entire pro-
| ceediDgs Of the convention we're read
| and with prayer the convention of the

BURG's BATTERY BOOMING.

The booming of cannon Sunday noon
indicated that Burg's battery was on the
way to storm Herman's monument. The
firing was kept up all day until the set
ting sun put stop to all friendly hos
tilities. A large number of the best of
New Ulm's good people were up at Her.
mann's Park to see the boys of Burg's
battery and their visit was we'll reward
ed. The parade through the principal
streets of the city Vas grand, real mil
itary spectacle. The 2nd regimental band
and the fire department of New Ulm
both IN full uniform marched in line
forming the van and rear guard of the
parade respectively. The evolutions of
these bodies were perfect, they marched
like trained soldiers.
The arrangements for the entertain
ment of the guests were sucl, as to please
every visitor, but as usual, ;he picnic
came to close when it was about to be-
come real picnic. Six o'clock ought
to signalize the beginning and not the
end of it.

Frey's Opinion.

Martin F. Frey of st. Peter returned
from Manila last week, having received
his honorable discharge. He enlisted in
the Third U. s. Infantry doing active
service, that is fighting in Cuba and in
the Philippines. According to his views,
based principally on personal experience,
the war in the Philippines is to be re-
garded as grave error on the part of
the administration. The inhabitants of
these islands will never be civilized in
American fashion, and it will take
standing army of at least 100000 men
to keep the PHILIPPINES in subjugation.
Should they be vanquished which is
doubtful, the advantages derived by the
new possessions would not be worth
mentioning when compared with the i'm
mense losses of life and money caused
by this war. Frey also states that the
acts of herolsm, the brave deeds, the
general gallantry attributed the 18th
Minnesota are greatly exaggerated by
the press reports. 1t is fact, says Frey,
that the 18th Minnesota were defeated,
losing their cannon and ammunition,
which we're only saved by the timely ar
rival of the Sd U. s. Infantry. Frey al
so states that all of our soldiers are an
xious to return, the war with the mig
gers is not what they enlisted for.
Gottlieb Hoehne died at his home on
Center street at 4o'clock Sunday after
noon, aged seventy one years, softening
of the brain being the direct cause of
death. The funeral took place in the
city cemetery yesterday afternoon. Col.
Pfaende1 spoke few words at the late
residence of deceased, and Instructor
Schneider made short address at the
grave, Hoehne having been a member of
the .'Turnverein."
Deceased was born in Silesia, Ger
many, and immigrated to this country in
1860, first locating in Wisconsin. In 1885
he removed to New Ulm where he re-
mained ever since. He leaves a wife,
twelve years his senior, one brother and
two sisters.

At the Point of Death.

G. Westberg of Minneapolis sus-
tanned fracture of the skull by fall
from the sidewalk IN Sleepy Eye last
week. The fall might have been caused
by one Geo. Cramer, who in tussle
With Westbelg pushed the latter off the
sidewalk, evidently without any mali
cious intent. Westberg was taken to the
New Ulm hospital, where he now lies in
critical condition. DR.. Strickler who
is in attendance entertains grave fears
as to Westberg's final recovery and in case
the patient should die, the doctor is re-
quested to notify the coroner without
delay as an inquest would be necessary.
Cramer did not attempt to escape and
up to the present time no arrests were
made. It is said that Westberg and Cra-
mer were somewhat under the influence
of liquor at the time af the accident.
A trip on the Alcantara once in while
is healthy, pleasant and ast..not least, not
expensive.

and selling the right to the gas company
without calling for bids.
The annual appropriations for this
section of the canal have averaged about
81 900 per annum for some time. The
earnings from it have been about 500.
An idea Of the general abandonment of
the strip of canal may be gained from
the statement of Q lock tender on it,
who said recently that he had been call
ed upon to open his lock but twice in
the preceding year. This man was
paid 500 per annum. Each time he
opened the lock gates, therefore, it cost
the state $50.
This is sample of the canal business
in Ohio. The whole thing ought to end
right off.-Ironton Register.

Care Of the Eyes.

This is day when the delusions 10
which one has held for years are gradu-
ally being swept away by those "who
know" One such delusion in which We
all once believed was that to read while
in recumbent position was injurious
to the eyes. Oculists now toll us that IL
the light be good and the type of the
printed page clear we may safely in
dulge in the luxury of lying down and
reading at the same time. But while
our oculist tells ue this. he also warns
us that We may not uee our eyes before
breakfast, as the strain on the optic
nerve will seriously affect the sight. So
che who would read before che rises in
the morning must have q cup of coffee
and roll or slice of toast brought to her
bedside.
Unless one has unusually strong eyes
one must not read when one is extreme
ly weary. Exhaustion I'D fatigue affect

MEN OF GENIUS.
Nature Likes Them Not and Invari
ably Crushes the Breed.

Nature Likes Them Not and Invari-
ably Crushes the Breed.
Through all time men of genius have
scoffed at and have ridiculed the at
tempts of purse proud old "richesse"
to create superior orders of manhood
Nor is this matter for wonder. They
we're and are ridiculous. Yet these at
tempts are repeated every hour. Con-
sidering them one would suppose that
wealth, titles dignities, are talismans
which insure virtue and honor and per-
sonal worth and beauty in those to
whom they descend. Talismans are
ridiculous, and SO are titles.
Nobility is of blood and not of gar
ters, royal sponsors and christening
robes. Pedigrees, portraits and family
history when truthful tell us a great
deal about the nobility of race. Titles,
quarterings and patents are worthless,
and the production of great genius il
in general as bad sign as the produc.
tion of a great profigate. Races that
produce geniuses should be avoided.
The best is the second best-the normal.
Genius, as some one (Victor Hugo,
,think) has finely said, is a promontory
stretching out into the ocean of the in
finite. Look for the descendants OF
Shakespeare, Bacon, Macaulay, Wei
lington, Nelson, Gibbon, Swift, Vol.
taire, Carlyle, Bonaparte, Goldsmith,
Spencer, Milton, Cromwell, Disraeli-
to take q few names at random-and
you will find that they are not, fol
the genius is always transgressor Of
the normal-a "sport." He is never
symmetrical. Such one nature likes
not, and she makes provision for the ex
tinction of his race.-Humanitarian

Another form of beacon for mariners
of smaller dimensions, but hardly less
important, is the illuminated buoy.
These floating lamp holders, placed in
an estuary where the available channel
is often only a narrow one, bounded by
mud or sand banks only few feet below
the surface of the water, are invaluable
to shipping, Hitherto the illuminant
chiefly employed has been compressed
gas, necessitating high pressure reser-
voir and COMPRISING machinery.
Mr.. Wigham, whose name has long
been known in connection with light
house apparatus, has introduced min
eral oil lamp which can be fitted to
any existing buoy and will burn for a
long period at very small cost. The
maintenance of one form of lamp can
be kept up at cost of one penny for "a
hours, and as no COMPRISING machinery
is required this is the only expense
plus the original cost of the lamp. The
approach to port-such as that of Liv.
erpool, for instance, where a ship has
to enter through long avenue of buoys
could by this invention be almost al
we'll lighted as city street. et.-Cham.

TO THE RIVER DEE.

Foolish brawling river Dee,
Why dost thou hurry to the sea
AT such a pace?
know a place
Where thou shouldst love to pause space
In ecstasy.
For there my love, a maiden fair,
With eyes of blue and silken hair,
Each day doth go,
Yet thou below
In babbling ignorance dost flow,
Nor ken nor care.
Oh, vert thou wise to murmurs mild
Thoudst wean thy waters, whirling
wild,
Nor flow so fleet
The main to meet,
But smile as smiles in slumber sweet
A little child.
Each bubble then wouldst gently break
And of thy breast a mirror make,
Wherein she might
In coy delight
Her image view and at the sight
Sweet pleasure take.
Yet thou, perchance, art no less wise
Than we, who oft-too oft-despise
Our gifts and powers
And precious hours
And hurry past life's fairest flowers
With needless eyes.
We, too, go seaward, borne along
Upon a current swift and strong.
Some eer are bent
On merriment;
On riches, honor, fame, intent,
Some strive and throng.
Each deems he knows the nearest way
To happiness, yet every day
In eager cry
Some wander by
The very goal for which they sigh
And toll and pray.

NOT AFRAID OF MAN.
Remarkable Tameness of Animals II
the Yellowstone Park.


the Yellowstone Park.
The slaughter of birds has almost en-
tirely removed one of the delightful ac-
compartments of life in the rural east
the music of the feathered songsters.
Apropos of this, it may be said that one
of the most pleasant features of the drive
through the Yellowstone National park
is the apparent intimacy between man
and the animal and bird life in the
park. Thanks to the wise and stringent
regulations, no shooting is allowed with
in its boundaries.
"The result" says an English tour
ist, sis positively charming. Hundreds
of little chipmunks, with their gaudy
striped backs, scampered impudently
about or peered at the passing coach
from the roadside. The squirrel did not
bolt for the nearest tree, but nodded q
welcome. All bird life treated us like
wise. Even the lordly eagle hovered
near, and the wild turkey stalked un-
concernedly through the rank grass. We
were fortunate enough to see a fine
specimen of the wolf tribe. He stood, a

fear. Another time were perceived doe
and fawn grazing by the road. Not un-
til we we're within few feet did they
seek the shelter of the woods, yet not
to fly. They simply moved aside. Here
at least mankind was regarded as a
friend-one who could be trusted. The
only animal who ran away was brown
bear. He turned tail at the sight Of q
coaching party, yet it was quite COM
mon thing for bears to approach close
to the hotels at evening to feed on the
refuse thrown out. It was an after din

them feeding. They munohed and dis
puted the choicest morsels, for the mos
part Indifferent to the company. Only
