it is with pleasure that we commend the
Typographical appearance OF the job
We are told that the arrangement, type
setting and press work was done by Al
fred Schroeck and he has just reason to
be proud of the same.
We learn that Mr.. Charles Silverson,
the man who taught the good people of
New Uln one or two lessons in milling
and in municipal politics, and who has
resided in Cincinnati for several years
past, is to again take up his residence at
the county seat, Mr.. Silverson's return
to his old baunts is a good thing for
New Ulm as a community and indirectly
to Brown county. The Dispatch extends
him hearty welcome.
Fred Meier of the town of Home is an
earnest advocate of good roads and he
is in favor of placing men with special
training in road 4aking in office as over
seers of highways and he further favers
.
the retention of these men III office for
at least four years SO that th9G can have
the time to bring their work up to some
thing like system. A half a mile of good
road made every year, says Mr.. Melers,
will eventually give us good roads while
century Of hit or miss road work will
be required to keep the roads open and
at the end of that time we will have
nothing.
Mr.. Shannon, the travelling auditor
for the Van Dusen people was here on
Monday and the Dispatch had an oppor
tunity of talking with him regarding the
probable action of his people IN replac-.
ing their burned elevator. Mr.. Shannon
says that he sees no reason at this time
why his company should quit business
here as Sleepy Eye has always paid them
a dividend on their investment. It is
his opinion that the burned builIing will
be replaced by modern structure of
perhaps 10000 bushels capacity and
their buyer installed there for business.
From Mr.. Shannon we also learned that
the original Van Dusen house here was
a fiat house and it formed the west end
of the house that was burned. The ele
vator proper was built to take care Of
the increased trade and the additions on
the east end of the elevator were put up
for coal and oats. The smaller building
at the extreme east of the long line OF
houses was built for a fire hall for the
village and there was stored for num-
Der of years the old hand engine that
was the reliance OF the town for fire pro-
lection. The house was not used for ell
ebator purposes at all.
From the Herald.)
The public has been for some weeks
congratulating itself that we were rid OF
small pox, but there are two cases near
town in Town Stark and one case in
town. 1t is to be hoped that the board
of health and the local authorities will
place all cases under close surveillance.
Work has begun on the new residence
of H. Fl. Meyer. 1t is situated west of
the school house and will be 26x43, two
stories high. The cost will be about
$4,000. Contractor Fl. E. Pinger has
the work to do and will push it to COM
pletion.
J. ]. Bier writes from Las Vegas, N.
NJ, that lie has beed out there for nearly
five weeks and that on account of the
heavy rains aud terrible thunder storms
he does not like the place as we'll as he
expected. He is feeling fairly we'll al
though his recovery is slow. Joe expects
to come home IN a few weeks.
Sheriff Aug. L. Matter was here We'd
nesday morning and sold at public auc-
ton the property left by L. c. sohade
in the tailor shop. 3. S. Roads bought
it for $50 which was distributed among
the creditors. Mr., Schade is in Canada
where his wife has gone to join him.
She left here some two weeks ago..
The Rev. Updyke of New Tim visited
the Congregational church here Sunday
incog and after Mr.. Blackwell had fin.
ished his sermon the visitor arose in the
audience and in short speech paid Mr.
Blackwell graceful and we'll deserved
compliment. 1t was pleasant surprise
both to Mr.. Blackwell and the audience
The Leavenworth creamery was visited
by the Herald man on Monday and he
found that the building is all completed
and now the machinery is being put il
place and by the middle of the coming
