keid, who gave the extensive grounds
now occupied by the Georgetown College
and Convent to the Catholic Church.
This is the same man of whom an anus
ing incident is told. He was a great
Btock-breeder on his estate in Georgetown.
When merino sheep first attracted atten-
ton in this country ne obtained a small
flock, and had been negotiating for some
time for ram. At length it reached
Washington. He mounted his horse and
rode anxiously to see and possess it. 1t
was a splendid animal, with price cor
respondingly high. He bought it, en-
gagged a cart and negro driver, and hastily
addressed note to Mrs. Thielkeld, say
ing that a stranger and several gentlemen
would dine with them, and to have, espe-
cially, a leg of mutton done up in superior
style; adding, also: 'The colored boy who
delivers this takes over a splendid ram.
Please see to it"
The ram was tied up and the prelimina-
fies of the feast arranged. In reference to
the mutton, the Madam consulted the
steward, and they concluded from the ten
or of the note that the animal sent by the
cart was to supply the leg of mutton for
the festive board; so accordingly that cost
ly ram was yictimized, and his plump
quarter dressed, garnished, and served
smoking at the head of the table.
After some preliminary libations at the
sideboard, the guests were seated and a
generous slice of mutton was placed upon
each plate. They unanimously decided
that it was very superior, and the host
heartily Endorsed the sentiment, and turn
ing to his delighted spouse inquired from
which flock it had been taken. She, of
course, responded: at was the large ram
you sent for the occasion this morning"
This was too much. The old gentleman's
cue stood on end, and his face was fairly
purple. He arose from his chair, nearly
upsetting the table, brought his fist down
with tremendous thump, and with an
emphasis pinned with oaths, said: Mad
an, you have slaughtered my magnificent
1em, for which l paid $500 this morningl"
It is said the scene was so ridiculous that
sDme Of the guests Withdrew to have their
laugh ont.

One of the demands by the Republic

Goebel election law shall be repealed.
The Republican papers denounce' the
law in general terms, but fail to point
out specific provisions that are obiec-
tionable, Does the public recall the
fact that this law was passed by the Re-
publican legislature two years ago, and
by the same body that elected Repub
lican to the United States senate. 1t was
approved by Gov. Brady, Republican
also. If so satisfactory then, why so
faulty now? 1t is possible that it depends
upon which party is in power, and the
Democrats having control of both hous-
es of the Legislature were able to use it
for their advantage. The republicans
evidently were beaten at their own
scheming, and If SO, it has taught it's
lesson and might as we'll be repealed.

= THE sugar and Tobacco interests in this
country are opposed to President McKin-
ley's policy of flee trade with Puerto
Ric. That island had free trade with
Spain until ceded to the United States
and marketed much other products there
but Spanish tariffs shut her out from a
favorable market there and our tariff
laws discriminate against her here. In
this way her industries have beeu badly
crippled. Suger, tobacco and fruits are
her main products, but the sugar and
tobacco interests o. this country insist
their business must not be interfered
with by competition by the people of
that island. Puerto Rico is rich island
and IS worth keeping, but if we are to
annex outlying islands we ought to give
them the same commercial laws we give
the rest Of the country. If this cannot
be done We ought to let them manage
their own affairs and let them enact
such laws as will best conduce to their
industrial advancement. The Gazette

upon Fort Ridgely, followed by the
bloody battle at New Ulm, and it is but
fitting that these two important events
should be given larger recognition by
the people and the government"
At the request of Capt. Hopkins, Sec
retary of the association, JUDI Fland-
reau briefly outlined the work of the as
sociation so far as it has already pro-
gressed, stating that IN recent visit to
Warrington he had held conference
with the individual members of the Min
nesota delegation and had been assured
by them that they would do all in their
power to secure the favorable action of
congress upon any moderate demand
that might be made in the matter. "In
fact" said he," teel very confident that
the concerted effort Of the people of this
vicinity cannot fail to meet with sue
cess
Closing he paid glowing tribute to
Senator Davis who he terms, not with
standing the fact that he is Of opposite
political faith, one of the foremost men
in the United States congress, and closed
by saying that no state in the union, in
his opinion, had a delegation IN Wash
ington of greater influence from Mime
sofa.
Judge Flandreau was followed by Ma
jor Timothy j. Sheehan, who is justly
termed the "defender of Fort Ridgely,"
who briefly but graphically told the STIR
ring story of the defense of that place
and was most enthusiastically received.
The meeting'whlch convened-promptly
at 8 O'Clock, was called to order by J. j.
Green and Jacob Klossner was chosen
chairman and E. r. Barager, secretary.
The gathering was representative in ev-
cry respect and was marked by the great
number of colonels in line, in fact but
for the absence of bourbon and bullets
might have been mistaken for Ken
lucky peace congress, with the added
difference, however, that here the titles
were carried by men who were entitled
to them by reason of actual service in
the defense of their country and their
homes.
Short speeches were made by Col. Jos.
Bobleter, Col. Pfaender, J. j. Green,
Judge Webber, DR.. Welcome of Sleepy
Eye, Capt. Hopkins of Fairfax, and 9TH
ers equally interested in the prosecution
of the work.
Col. Pfaender, Charles Wagner and
Col. Bobleter were appointed as COM
mite to take charge of the work in this
city. ..-.=,..s
The following resolution prepared by
J.J. Green and Col. Pfaender was unan-
1mously adopted:
Resolved, That the people Of New
Ulm are heartily in favor of an appro.
priation by congress Of q sun of money
