New Ulm's Loss.
Mrs. Gustav Fisher Called Suddenly to Her
Eternal Home.

The community of New Ulm were
greatly agitated the last week by the re-
port Of the sudden demise of Mrs. Mary
Fischer, formerly of this city, but of late
a resident of Minneapolis, where she re-
moved some four months ago. She was
well-known and exceptionally we'll
liked by everybody who knew her, she
having been teacher in our public
schools for period of over ten years.
She was married to DR.. Gustav Flsch-
er and three children were born to the
couple. The arrival OF the last born
child caused Mrs. Flscher's death. Fu-
neral services were held in the church of
st. Anthony of Padua, East Minneapo-
lis, Friday morning, and requiem mass
was read. The remains were then taken
to New Ulm, arriving here at $3.50 p. m.
on the NJ. & St. L. road. A hearse was
in waiting and the funeral cortege, con-
slst1ng of over sixty carriages. at once
drove to the city cemetery. DR.. L. A.
Fritsche, Chas. Toberer, VIM. E. Koch,
Hugo Roos, DR.. J. L. Schoch, and Alb.
Pfaender acted as pall-bearers and a
friend OF deceased spoke few heartfelt
words of eulogy at the grave. A double
quartette, consisting of Messrs. A. J. AL
win, W. G.. Alvin, James Schneider, Ar
mand Petry, VIM. Pfaender and Mrs.
F. Spoerhase and the Misses Meta Setter,
Meta Koch and Hilda Petry sang two
beautiful hymns. The services were
simple but impressive. Words are not
expressive enough for the grief felt by
the numerous friends of deceased, Of her
truly might be said she had no enemies,
everybody wished her we'll; and her un-
timely death, she only attained an age
of thlrty-six years, will be long ourned
by all.

Ser is playing in luck. As stated form
erly, he was robbed Of his watch, chain

ed. The valuables were found on him,

inmate of the st. Peter asylum. Salera
received his valuables last Wednesday
but is still loser of the fifty lucre,
which he takes philosophically. He is

Alation.

ondition seemed somewhat improved

condition seemed somewhat improved
about month ago, but the disease had
made such inrods as to render final re-
covery almost impossible. His last days
were made most miserableby the excru-
ciating pains he had to suffer and death
came as relief. Deceased leaves three
children, Philip and George Liesch and
Mrs. Berndt. The funeral took place
Monday morning from the Catholic
church in the Catholic cemetery, the ST.
Joseph's Society, of which Mr.. Liesch
was a prominent member, following
their dead brother to the grave in body.
Deceased was born in Surawa, Switzer-
land, June 4th, 1882 and came to this
country in 1857, locating in New Ulm
twenty years later. Of late he was agent
for DR.. Koch's Vegetable Tea Co. in this
and Nicollet county. An only brother,
Andrew Liesch of SibleY, Iowa, arrived
here in tlme to be at the dying brothers
bedside, and he remained to attend the
funeral. An honest, upright man, good
father, brother and friend, a devout
member of the Catholic church, and last
not least a good democrat has been
called to his eternal home. -.
Andrew Theurer died friday afternoon
of nervous prostration, after an allment
of nearly two months. Deceased leaves
wife and four children to mourn his
premature demise. For a number OF
years he was trusted employe of the
Eagle Roller Mill Co., and was we'll and
favorably known in this community
The funeral took place Monday morning
in the Catholic cemetery after the usual
services in the Catholic church. The St
Joseph's Society, to which he belonged
attended the funeral.

Reporters Salary,

By an act of the last legislature the
position of stenographer of the district
court is not only made appointive by
the court, but is also placed on salary
basis. Heretofore the salary has been
$40 per day whenever the reporter was
employed in court. Aside from this, of
course, there we're the customary fees
for transscribing. The new law, Chapter
III, gives the reporter salary of 81 200
per year and the usual fees for TRANSCRIPT
ing. The salary, according to the law,
is to be paid pro rata by the different
counties of this judicial district, accord
ing to the amount of litigation that oc-
Cured in the county the yer before.
Judge Webber has just flied with the
county attorney his appointment Of
Wenzel T. Ecksteln, the present efficient
stenographer, as reporter for the ensuing
year, and with it the apportionment of
salary each county is to pay Mr.. Eek
stein. Redwood county must pay HIM
the highest monthly salary of any coun-
ty in the district, the sum being nearly
$40 higher than any other county. This
is due to the large amount of litigation
in the county during the past year, aris-
ing out of bank and other troubles. The
apporlionment by counties per month is
as follows:

claims that are being made by certain

leaders claiming credit for some order
that has been of advantage to the regi-
ment or to myself. They claim credit for
the order to go to Manila and further as

the regiment got its order to come he .
through the influence of certain poll /
clans, and now comes the absurd repof
that il these same politicians had not ex-
erted mighty influence | would not
have been returned to Manila.

Kansas regiment would have rottcd in
the sand lots at Camp Merritt. would
never have gone to Manila, would be in
the Philippines vet, | would still be a
colonel and would soon be Il private citi-
zen had it depended on the eXcrtions or
