New Ulm review., 1901-10-23
A movement has been started in this

a dancing club which is to hold regular
dances throughout the winter. The ob
ject is to secure competent teacher and
prempter and have sufficient number
in the club to make the dances exclusive
and also interesting. 1t is thought that
this can be easily done. 1t is really the
only proper way to keep up interest in
those things and make the dances sue
cessful.
John Nun created considerable excite
4 ment last Thursday on rapid transit
through the city in rig belonging to
Jos Epple, He failed to make ccnnec-
! ton with the lines and the horses had
everything their own way. ALI he did
was to look up over the dashboard and
warn the people to get out of the way.
The horses ran into a post in front of
Epple's meat market and stopped hav-
ing made run of nearly four miles with
out an accident.
The ladies of the Congregational
church at their dinner and supper on
Thursday were able to report great
financial success, the net receipts being
over $50. The object of the supper
was to stalt fund for the purchase of
the building used as parsonage. The
results OF the enterprise are more than
gratifying, and are greatly encouraging.
The Congregational church is gradually
getting in very prosperous condition.
It's Sunday meetings are unusually well
attended.
Now is the time to buy land, whether
you buy to farm or as a speculation
The ground will soon be covered with
snow and cannot be inspected then to
best advantage, and IN the spring land
will open So to SIS higher. This is not
a guess or a speculation. Study condi-
tions and the signs of the times and you
l
correct, and before buying land else
where be sure to go out and inspect the
bargains Lund's Land Agency offers. It
will pay you.
The usually quiet town of St.IPeter
has a sensation in the shape of shoot
ing affair, in which one of the parties
will probably die. The affair took place
at low resort on the outskirts of the
city and was the result of a quarrel over
a girl. Fred R. Davis is the name of
man who did the shooting. Immedi-
ately after the crime was committed
Davis gave himself up, claiming that he
did it in self-defense. Work seems to
be aecumulating in Nicollet county for
| the grand jury.
/ The marriage of Miss Martha Meier
ding to- Arnold Cordes was solemnized
at the Methodist church on Thursday
last. Both of the young people are
residents of this city. The groom is a
son of Henry Cordes and is a carpenter
by trade, the bride being the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Meierdlng They
will make their home in this city. Those
present at the wedding from out of town
were Henry Meierding, postmaster at
/
Snndown, Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Melerding
and Misses Annie and Lily Kamholz of
Morgan.
Now that the leaves are off the trees
) and the weeds have fallen to the ground
) the terrible unsightllness of the signs
that have been allowed to be tackled on
the park fence stick out ike wart on a
mans nose. This use of the park fence
| should be stopped. The city derives no
benefit from it and if all were prohibit
| ted from using it there could be no COM
plant. The fence itself is unsightly
enough without having it made more
disgustlngly so by these useless and OBJ
noxious appendages. Let US have them
removed.
i New Ulm's city council mus. have
been listening to complaints of wives
and sisters. At the last meeting of that
body the city attorney was instructed to
draft an ordinance which would prohib-
I it splitting on the sidewalks. Yet some
people think our own Fairmont is more
progressive than New Ulm. It took
man good many years to find out that
1t was not in good form to squirt tobac-
co juice on a hot stove, and it will prob
ably take as many more to place the
ban on his habit Of splitting on side
walks, steps of stairs, floors of halls and
other public places. Martin County
