ineir festival last Sundaya grand success in
every respect.
again New Ulm has sustained its fame for hos
pitality. ..-

An Ideal mid d-summer day, such as
can be experienced in this climate only,
.fas the natural promoter to the festival
arranged by the local branch o. d, H. S,
last Sunday. Excursions were expected
from all over the state and they did ma
terlallze to an unexpected extent, even
from South Dakota several hundred Wis
1tors were carried to this city by spec.
lal train. The latter was from Water
town, S. D. and not until Friday was it
decided to attend the New Ulm festival.
A committee of Watertown citizens
chartered train at their own risk, and
s Inside of three hours sufficient subscrip-
tlons were received not only to satisfy
the railroad company, but also to engage
brass band and provide fol the neces-
sar; refreshments and provisions on the
train. Something like 800 people made
the trip from Watertown and they all
were glad they came,
Ihe excursion trains were somewhat
oehlnd time the last one arriving at p.
N. bringing with them more than three
thousand guests, according to conser-
vsstiye estimate. The visitors were
4 heartily welcomed and while many of
/ them remained with friends in town, or
i hastened to the various resorts and ho-
h tells great number at once proceeded to
4 Hermann's Park. The committee in
i charge of the affair had arranged for
Il any emergency, meaning that everybody
was enjoying to his hearts desire. The
8 German-American knows how to enjoy
\ life, there is no doubt about that, and it
4 must be added that those social gather
Nings of German Americans are hardly
8 eWf disturbed by rough elements. SUD-
81 days festival passed off without any IN.

y was hardly needed at the park. 1t is

of the state lodge O. d. H. S. in his ad.
dress excused Mayor Kiefer of st. Paul
for not appearing as the duties of his
office detained him at the sanity city,
Mr.. Foelsen's address ran in the sane
strain as that of his predecessor and was
also enthusiastically received. Knowing
fully we'll that the guests expected a
good time, the two above named speak
ers abbreviated their addresses tot the
minimum limit, fact fully appreciated
by everybody. The 2nd regiment band,
the Auditorium band of Owatonna and
the Watertown band furnished delight
full music all afternoon.s Ample pro-
vision for the general welfare of the
visitors being made, the city of New
Ulm in general and the local branch O.
d. H. S. in particular have again proved
that no other city in the state is their
equal as to hospitality. The motto of the
order, glove, Fidelity, Friendship has
again been shown up in it's full glory.
It was worth while seeing the various
trains leave our hospitable city. TIE
depots were crowded by mass of hu-
manity seldom seen in even large cities.
While the departure of the trains was
somewhat delayed and the departing
guests were partly full of enthusiasm
over their magnificent reception, no dis
turbance was created, no accident oc-
Cured. In conclusion it mi ght be added
that the financial result was gratifying
to the committee, a round sum has been
added to the fund for maintenance and
repairs of the monument and the park.

NEATLY TRAPPED.
Hugo Roos Captures . Pick-Pocket and Arrests
Him.

An apparently we'll organized gang Of
professional pickpockets was working
the crowds at ihe depets waiting for the
departure of the trains, but one arrest
only was made. So far as known .one
party has been robbed, Mrs. DR.. Guent-
her of Mankato, but it is surmised that
several others have shared similar fate,
who had no time to report the theft to
the authorities, not wishing to miss their
train.
The arrest above referred to, is due to
the GOODNESS and pluck OF Mr.. Hugo
Roos of the Empire mill. Noticing sus-
picious character manipulating the
dense crowd, he kept his eye on him and
saw him take something away from an
elderly lady, = The thief had previously
handed some articles to an accomplice
and this fact did not escape the sharp
eye of Hugo Roos. The thief retired to
a place behind one of the coaches on the
extreme eastern end of the G. & N. W.
depot, closely followed by Roos, who
unhesitatingly charged him with pick
ing pockets. The thief being Of the
opinion that a detective was confront
ing him, offered no resistance. although
he might have been physically able to
overpower Roos. In order to escape al
rest he offered fifteen dollars, even twen-
ty "cases." and thus attempt at bribery
made Hugo hot under the collar. With
out delay he grabbed his man and de-
claring him his prisoner took him to the
depot Office where an officer of the law
took him in charge and marched him off
to the Jail.
He is well-dressed young man,
smooth faced and smooth tongued, and
undoubtedly an experienced confidence
man and pickpocket. Newspaper clip
pings in his pockets evidenced the fact
that the prisoner kept tab on all affairs
occurring in the state, where large
crowd of people might be expected.
Having partly destroyed his railroad
ticket, it could not be learned where the
young man came from, and he, of course.
would not dlvulge his secret.
A lady's purse was found in his pock-
cts, and from the contents it was learned
that it was the property of Mrs. DR..
Guenther OF Mankato. The lady was no.
titled by wire to come on at once and to
reclaim her property, but Monday she
missed the train. She notified the au-
thorities that she would come next morn
ing and the trial was set for Tuesday
morning. Mrs. Guenther arrived on time
and King was brought before Justice
Henningsen where the case was to be
heard.
King was willing to pay 500 fine if
given his liberty. He reiterated his for
mer statement to the effect that he found
the pocketbook in question, and would
pay his fine only in order to evade trl-
al, as he IS a stranger in this locality.
His offer could not be considered. of
course, and King at this juncture Sc
cured the services of Attorney Hoidale,
who asked for and was granted con-
tinuaucc of the case until p. M.

DUMDUM BULLETS.

From the Pioneer Press we take the
following: Every guard on the peniten-
tiary walls at Joliet is armed with a. new
Mauser rifle and the rifles are loaded
with ''dum dun" bullets, This bullet 10
the one that was denounced in the peace
conference at the Hague as barbarous
implement of warfare. It is the kind of
bullet that was found to be so effective
by the British soldiers in India IN their
recent encounters with the rebels. It is
the same sort of projectile that was the
subject of discussion in the British house
OF commons last week, because it was
furnished to the troops who were to be
used against the Beers in the event of
war in the Transvaal. This is said to he
the first instance ofits use in the United
States. The bullets as used st Joliet are

contain them as sssoft-nose bullets,

stant. It is required that bureaus he
opened and in working order throughout
the state within 60 days from that time.
The operations of the bureau will be

The Chicago Record, although rank

the way the war in the Philippines is be-
ing conducted and clamors loudly for
change of policy. It says:
Let the president send in command of

services, great ability and high rank
mark him as the proper person to bring
peace, justice and 3 ID government to
the islands. Nelson A. Miles, the gen.
eral commanding the army of the Unit

the post where the latter has accom-
plished nothing, where he has misled the

to do the impossible, in the meantime

fascination is simply that of

John AND SAILS FIRST VISIT TO
ARDr1ORE.

John SingIefoot and Sal Nearsight,
being duly married according to the
laws of the Chickasaw nation, they
began at once to make preparations
for housekeeping, and as John and
Sal had neither ever been out of
Conners' store settlement, they were
much worried as to where to 60 to
buy their household fixings. Bill
Singlefoot, Johns Pa, proposed that
they 90 to Ardmore, the coming city
of the west, where they could buy
anything and everything, made on
earth. So bright and early on the
morning after John and Sal were
tied, John bitches up old Baldy and
Blue to the wagon, and they started
for Ardmore, the great city of elec-
trio lights. They travelled all day,
camped near Ardmore at night, and
the next morning on their way into
town they discussed the many things
to be bought.
Sal had 10 have a cookstove, was
tired making bread in a skillet. So
on entering Main street. they at once
drove up and got out at Noble Bros :.
mammoth hardware store. Hero snl
had no trouble in finding Bucks
Brilliant ,stove, just the kind she
wanted, the same kind ma and grand
La had, and the price SO much low
er than she expected. there was
money left, and in glancing over
their vast establishment they found
that this house also handled wagons
and buggies. Well, says John, the
Studebaker wagon is the only kind
I'd have, so you can just roll that
one out for me. / know it is the
best wagon made; In Arkansas they
won't have any other kind. So OF
leaving, Mr., Noble kindly thanked
= them and told them not to forget
that they handled hardware ano

John remarked, he would be back in
the spring after an Eagle corn plant
er and "good enough" sulky plow.
So OH leaving this establishment
they proceeded ct once to hunt for

Hers they found all kinds of furni-
ture, beds, tables, chairs, etc., and
the price go low, that had not John
stopped her, Sal would have bought
furniture all day, and as the house
room was limited, they bought what
they had to have and left well
pleased with the bargains found in
this large furniture establishment
Now, says Sal, let's buy the dishes
next. We will 60 to Weeks Bros.
That's where Mary and Tom bought
theirs, and Mary said you could get
things so much cheaper there, as
they carry the largest and best stock
of queensware and chinaware In
town. So they soon find themselves
among the crowd that pour into this
house. Here Sal finds things that
she never dreamed of, and with
such a large stock to pick from, she
was soon happy with her purchases
and remarked on going out, that she
did not see how they could sell sc
cheap. Thus they leave this place
declaring that for bargains she
would always remember weeks
