after the fixed time and marched along
the following line: Down Center street

Mowery. The different numbers in the
programme were interspersed with vocal
and instrumental productions and was
concluded with music.
The attendance at German Park was
an unusual large one and the services
might justly be called solemn. In deep
silence those present listened to the adj
dresses, they seemed to be impressed as
if they were attending divine services.
The observance of Memorial day in New
Ulm might be regarded as model one,
nothing occurred to mar the solemnity
of the services, and everybody seemed to
he impressed with the reverence due the
dead and especially those who had given
up their lives for their country. AS long

Memorial
Exercises.
The Whole City and Vicinity Took Part in
their Observance.
The Services were Impressive and Largely
Attended.

An ideal May day favored the execu-
ton of the programme fixed for the OBJ
servance of Memorial Day yesterday, it
was thesmost beautiful day we have had
this season. The streets early in the
forenoon were almost deserted, very lit,
tie business was transacted and the pub
lie resorts were closed from 10 a, M. to
8 pm. its ordered by an act of legisla-
ture and enforced by proclamation
promulgated by the mayor. The public
buildings as we'll as business blocks and
private residences had the National flag
displayed at half mast until the National
salute, fired by Bu-g's battery at noon
gave the signal to hoist the flags to the
top OF the mast, where they remained
until sunset, as a mark of honor to the
dead heros. The whole city appeared in
holidays attire and as holiday the day
was observed by everybody. They all
paid the due tribute to the heroes who
sacrificed their lives for their country.
The program for the day was prompt
ly executed. Floral tributes in large eff
fusion were deposited in Turner Hall
Monday where a committee took charge
of them. These flowers were taken to the
cemeteries yesterday morning by the
committees in charge and each of the
graves containing soldiers were abun-
dainty decorated. The pupils of the
parochial schools and citizens also dec
grated the graves privately, giving the
cemeteries an entirely different aspect.
The parade formed near the Indian
monument at 9 p. m. under the COM
mand of Col. Bobleter who acted as
grand marshal assisted by Capt. L. G..
Vogel, DR.. J. L. Schoch, Ferd. Crone
and VIM. Koch, all mounted.

Railroad Pick-ups.

A corps of surveyors of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul R'y are running
a line west from Good Thunder to Pipe
stone. 1t passes west through Selma
and Delton townships, about fourteen
miles south of Springfield.
The new towns to be lur.,ed on the
Vesta exteLsion of the Northwestern are
now being plated. The first station
north of Sanborn IS the southwest quar-
ter of section 19, Willow Lake, for which
the owner received $50 per acre. The
town is to be located on the southwest
corner Of the meandered lake. The next
station is to be on the south half of Sec
ton %, Vail, purchased of the Winona
and St. Peter Land company, the town
to be just east of the hill on the half
sec ton. The next is to he the Sloan
quarter in 20, Sheridan, and the last in
section 16, Vesta.
Work on the bridge structure on the
new road is being pushed rapidly. Sew
eral teams are hauling the huge stones
from the cars to the bridge, where large
derricks are doing the rest. The bridge
will undoubtedly be finished at the stip-
ulated time, the weather permitting.
The litigation regarding the right of
way has kept several contractors in a
quandary as to what course to follow
They cannot possibly go to Work over
farm lands not properly condemned by
the courts or ceded by the owners out of
court, and in the mean time numerous
laborers, who came here in the anticipa-
ton of findiug work in abundance, ale
laying in forced idleness. It is expected
that work will be commenc ed during
this week. The right of way through
the Winkelmann farm has been adjusted
the latter part of last week by the ap-
pointed commission and $3.50 were
awarded to Mrs. Carolina Wlnkelmann
as damages. It is not probable that any
of the parties concerned will appeal
from this decision.

COLLEGE TRUSTEES MEET.

Tomorrow at o'clock a. m. the trus-
tees of the Lutheran college will meet In
annual session. There are fifteen trus-
tees aud of these Rev. Gausewitz of st.
Paul is president; F. W. A. Notz of Wa
tertown, Wis.,, secretary and F. Fl. Retz-
laf treasurer. The necessary repairs
which had been delayed for an unusual
long time. will he ordered and business
of a general nature will be transacted.
The trustees will also inspect the col
lege building and as usual attend the
lectures in the various class rooms.
In connection herewith it might be
said that the conference of the Minneso-
ia Lutheran Synode will be held in this
city, commencing June 14th to last
about one week. The meetings will be
held in the church edifce, the college
being too far distant, as to be desirable
for meeting place. It is surmised that
about 200 delegates will be present at
that conference and accommodations for
the guests will be provided for in the
homes of the members of the Lutheran
church. The New Ulm Lutheran con-
gregation is the strongest IN the state,
next to the one IN Winona, and numbers
over 300 members. 1t will therefore be
an easy matter to accommodate the WIS.,
itors.

Ames and Friedrich.
Gov. Lind Will Not Consent to Their Discharge.

It is said that Gov. Lind has so far
strenuously opposed the discharge Of
Col, Fred W. Ames and Lieut.. Col. J. H.
Friedrich, of the Thirteenth volunteers,
who are reported seriously ill at Manila.
It seems that some time ago Gen. Q: lis
advised the Washington authorities that
Col. Ames was s1ncapacitated; that Lieut..
Col. Friedrichs was seriously sick, and
recommended that both men be dis
charged and their stations given to sub
ordinate officers who were doing their
work. But to this, according to the war
department., Gov. Lind demurred. He
was anxious that Ames and Friedrich
should remain in command nominally,
and that they be in command when the
regiment was mustered out. After los.
ing their health in the country's service,
he thought this no more than just to
them. " -
1t is stated as the position of Gen.
Corbin that the officers who have been
leading the regiment should receive the
honors of promotion. However, be can
not act without the sanction of the gov
nor, and there the matter rests.
Gov. Lind states that communications
relative to the matter had passed be-
tween himself and the war department,
but that no action had been taken and
that none was likely to be in the near
future. This may mean that Col. Ames
will retain nominal command.

tai Wednesday morning at the ripe age

Mother and Child Drowned.

A most distressing accident occurred
Wednesday, in the town of Cordova, LIE
Sueur county, in which two lives were
lost. The victims were Mrs. Frank
Gloss and a child about two years OLD.
The accident occurred at the Gloss home.
There was an open we'll on the premises,
and the child, who had been playing in
that vicinity, fell into the well and
drowned. Mrs. Gloss, who saw the ac-
cident to the child, was frantic with ex-
citement and grief, and running to the
well, threw herself into it. Other mem-
bers of the family and neighbors hast
ened to the scene, but by the time they
arrived, both mother and child were past
any human aid. The bodies were soon
recovered but efforts at resuscltation
were unavailing.

Pretty Evening Gowns for summer
Large Hats for midsummer
Wear.

Embroidered muslins well covered
with incrustations of applique lace are
one of the most fashionable materials
for thin gowns. Made over mauve, blue
or pink taffeta. with tuck of black in
the finish, they are charming.
Pretty evening gowns for summer
are made of India null deliberately
trimmed with yellow Valenciennes
lace. They are made over white silk
and finished with yellow satin ribbon
bows.
Very small gold buttons adorn the
bodices of net, lace and crepe de chine
gowns.
Large hats which are something be-
tween the old-fashioned picture hats
and the poke shapes are the coming
style for midsummer wear. and the
novelty in trimming is covering the in
side of the brim with flowers.
The ugly fashion of yelling the flow
ers on our hats with mousseline or tulie
has reappeared again.
See that your hat matches your cos
tune if you want the very latest touch
of fashion.
Straw designs wrought out on silver
and gold cloth. net and chiffon inser-
tions. figure largely among the millin-
cry materials. 4 new and very stylish
combination is holland coIcrcd straw
trimmed with black velvet and white
chiffon. and this sort of hat is especial
ly good style for morning wear.
For evening dress yourg girls gowns
are made of tullc trimmed with rose
petals or green leaves, the former on
pink tulIe over pink silk being especial
ly attractive.-N Y. Sun.

Strange how easily we are bowled

cigar counter. Il was standing on the
corner and saw well set up, portly
gentleman saunter up the street He
wore a beautiful light gray suit, every
detail of his attire was elegance itself,
his mustache was curled carefully at
the ends and he walked with the air of
conquering hero. He looked so cool,
so confident and so exceedingly aristo-
cratic that people instinctivcly made
way for him as he approached. He had
gone perhaps 30 yards when all of a sud-
den he stopped, hesitated moment and
then put his right foot on a box near the
curb. His shoe had become united and
the strings were trailing. So far. how
ever, he had lost none of his dignity.
but when he attempted TO stoop over he
became ridiculous. To save his soul he
couldn't reach the eyelets. 1t was that
unlucly embonpoint, v know, and. al
though heupuffed and strained and got
as red as lobster, his finger tips were
still four inches from the shoestrings
At that instant he happened to glance
around and saw two ladies coming out
of shop. They were looking at him
and giggling. That settled it, In the
wink of an eye he lost every vestige of
his assurance. His elegant aplomb van
ished like magic. He seemed 10 COL
lapse upon himself and actually get old
while he was taking his foot off the
box. 1t was an abject, pathetic spec

conquering hero, but cringing. wad-

window dresser. had big window
on Clark street that seemed as If it was
hOOdooed. No matter what put there,
ii appeared TO be impossible to attract
any attention. and the manager, who
was keen as n hawk, began TO grumble
because he never saw anybody looking
in. ] used to lay awake nights racking
my brains for new schemes, but it was
no go. One day when | was feeling
pretty blue ! told our negro porter 10
clear everything out preparatory to
making a big display of a special line
of shirts. He was a fat. black. trifling
fellow, and ] guess he must have been
out at cake walk the night before, for
he fell fast asleep in chair in the mid
die of the window. ! was on the point
of waking him up and giving him fits
when / happened TO notice how ex
tremely ludicrous he looked. His head
was on one side, his enormous mouth
wide open and his limbs relaxed in the
oldest postures imaginable; in short,
he was perfect picture of lazy rascal
in happy slumber. That gave me an
idea. didn't say a word, but, grab

curtain and awaited DEVELOPMENTS.
Well, the hit that window made is The

People simply blockaded the sidewalk.
and you could hear them laughing
block away. The funniest part about il
was that nobody supposed for a mo-
ment II could possibly be the real thing.
They thought il was clever piece of
acting, or else a wonderful wax figure.
That the coon was actually asleep never
occurred TO anyone, and stood around
with my heart in my mouth for fear the
noise would arouse him. II didn't, how
ever, and he snOred away peacefully
until nearly four o'clock. Then he
woke up with start, and was so sur
prised he came near jumping through

and that night the house raised nv sal

afterward. but it was a failure. The

THE SUCCESSFUL HOUSEWIFE.
She Is the One wh" Possesses BusI-
ness Tact and Knows How to
EcOnomIze.

The successful housewife must have
some little artistic instinct in her ma
ture that she may effect. usually out of
simple and inexpensive material, or
harmony of color. pleasing arrange
ment of line and form that shall make
her home grateful 30 the eye and in
Viting to the soul. She must also be
the shrewd and careful business wom-
an, for she must spend such share of
the family income as Is proportioned to
her so as to get the greatest possible
return for it in health and happiness
for her family. II is impossible for me
here to go into any detailed discus
sion of the expenditure OF money. But
] would like to set before all house
wives little maxim as TO saving which
has been of great service TO me. Said
wise old lady to me once, when de-
Tended some foolish piece of economy
of my own as necessary: My dear,
never save ont OF your own skin" This
is the mistake which many woman
makes, to find out too late that nature
Furnishes no sins SO severely as those
of ignorance. When the need for econ
omy comes her first thought is to make
up the deficiency out of her own skin"
She lets one of her maids go and fills
in the gaps herself, or she does more
of the spring sewing, instead of cut
ting down the number Of fresh frocks
for herself and her daughters to abso-
lutte eeessities.-Ladies' Home jour
