New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1899-12-20
Practically Col11plet !.


The Minneaplls & st. Louis Extenslon Nearly
Ready for tho Running 81 Trains.
While today will doubtless see the
driving Of the last spike which. connects
this city with Estherville and marks the
practical completion Of the Minneapolis
g st. Louis to Storm Lake, Iowa, for The
work has been progressing with equa
speed from that end OF the line. it is q,
yet impossible to say whether or MOI
passenger and freight service will be in
augurated this winter, but the Review
has reason to believe that trains will be
run from this city as far as st. James, il
not through to Esthervllle.
The situation up to the time Of going
to press IS practically as follows: Track
laying has been completed probably the
entire length Of the line, surfacing en-
tirely completed between this city and
St. James and gravel trains and steam
shovel laid off and their crews returned
to Minneapolis Saturday of last week,
depot at st. James nearly completed
and other depots in course of construc-
ton.
The large fill on the other side of the
Big Cottonwood will be finished this
week and the mason work at the Little
Cottonwood is also finished and ready to
receive the iron span in the bridge which
will replace the temporary trestle work.
As before stated, this week practical
ly completes the entire line from this CT
ty to Storm Lake, and the Review hopes
to be able in very short time to an
nounce the schedule of a regular service.
Mr.. and Mrs A. C.. Oci,s of Spring
field attended the birthday celebration
of Mr.. Ochs's mother yesterday. She is
50 years old.
Albin Carlson made trip to Hanska
yesterday where he is making prepare
tions to open saloon after the first OF
the year. He has built neat little
building 18xs4 and will have good 10.
cation where he will cater to the wants
Of his patrons in his usual satisfactory
manner. Mr.. Carlson has been a sue
cessful business man in this city for sew
eral years and we wish him success in
his enterprise. ...... ..... .
A direct refutation of the old ad age
that ssrolling stone gathers no moss
is found in the fact that Jacob Klossner
Jr.. one of our most enterprising mer.
chants and president of the city council
has during the past year travelled by
railroad alone an aggregate of about g.
600 miles, not taking into consideration
the numberless side trips taken by team
and other modes of conveyance. And
the best of it is, if the signs Of prosperi-
ty which are so numerous about his place
OF business are any indication, he has
managed to gather at least a little s'moss'
while doing it. :
"Richelieu,' Bulwer Lytton's greatest
play will be given an elaborate and in
telligent production at the opera house
Sunday evening, Dec. Gath, by the Will
liam Owen company, dramatic organiza.
ton of the highest order. As Carolina
Richelieu Mr.. Owen is declared 70 be the
equal of any of the great actors who
have appeared in the role during recent
years. The play abounds with many OF
the strongest scenes known to the drams
and is most ably presented, Mr.. Over
being supported by a company of I'M
doubted ability and merit. There will be
no advance from the usual prices of the
house, seats being now on sale at rs, 81
and SO cents.
In the Zaske case, the details of which
are perfectly familiar to our readers, at
torney JOS, A. Eckstein argued an ap
peal before the supreme court last week
and the appeal was denied upon thu
ground that a proceeding in habeas cor
pus could only bring to the notice o
the court the question of jurisdiction
Zaske was remanded to the county jai
where he will be compelled to remain
unless he shall comply with the order o
the court which required him to maxi
settlement with the county commission
ers, provided, Of course, that his attor
ney does not by means of a writ of Ger
torari reopen the case and take it befor
