MANY PEOPLE DIE.
Little Charlie silverson is Dead. Heat fiastens
Death of old People.

The death of Chas. Silverson, Jr, oc-
Cured on Saturday morning at 2 O'clock,
being the termination of an attack of
scarlet fever which has followed the
child tor NOR. than six years. When
the fever left the boy it affected his kid
=neys aud though every possible treat
=ment has been tried and change of cli-
mate made to produce cure it was of
no avail. The disease became dropsical
and finally the LITTLE fellow passed away.
On Monday Mf. Silverson, the father,
and Miss Catherine accompanied the re-
mains to Cincinnati where they were
laid to rest.
Charlie was born in April 1890, and
being the only boy in the family natur-
ally was the idol of his parents. The
result was not unexpected but is never
the-less sorrowfl.l. Only those who have
been similarly bereft can fully sympa-
thize with the parents.
Two civil war veterans were buried
this week: John G. Merkle and John
Stuetz. The former was member of
the 1st Minnesota battery commanded
by Col. VIM. Pfaender. A good soldier
.ond an exemplary citizen. He was born
in Germany, Jan. 81, 1929 and came 10
New Ulm in 1856 making him one of
the pioneer pioneers. The immediate
cause of his death was dropsy. The
funeral was under the direction OF the
G. A. r., Sons of Herman and the Turn
verein. Capt. Stelnhauser paid tribute
to the dead in short address. His wife
and eight children survive him.
John Stuetz was born in Germany and
came to this country in tine to take
part in the Civil war, enllsting in the
lst Mich. Vol. Iafty. with which regi-
ment he served throughout the war.
He had the misfortune to be taken pris-
oner and was confined for ten months in
Andersonville. He has for fifteen years
been member of Hecker post, G. A. R.
His death was caused by tuberculosis,
which was no doubt aggravated by the
intense heat of the past few weeks. He
was buried Monday. Thus taps are
sounding almost daily over the graves
of the boys OF '61.
The funeral of Mrs. Analia Vogtel
occurred from the Evangelical church
on Friday afternoon the services being
conducted by the Rev. G. NJ. Eyrick.
She had suffered from desease of the
kidneys for some time and died on Tues
day afternoon. Two sons Charles and
Herman and three daughters, Mrs. Chas.
Stoli of this city, Mrs. John Hoffman OF
Lafayette and Mrs. Herman Klesliog of
Winthrop survive her.
Miss Mary Baasen, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Mic. Baasen, of Leavenw orth,
who has been one of the governments
teachers in the Indian schools on the
hlamoth Agency in Oregon, returned
home Saturday afternoon, after an alb
sence Of three years. The locality in
which Miss Baasen taught IS known to
the country as the ''Lava Beds" where
Capt. Jack the Modoc chief, held the U.
5. army at bay until Gen. Meade routed
him out some years ago. The Modoc
warrior was captured and with four or
more. other leaders in the uprising was
hanged on the reservation and his grave
Is not far distant from the government
school house. Miss Baasen is a vlvacious
and attractive young lady and while at
her work did not lose any opportunities
OF learning about the vicinity and she
comes home well informed of the hopes
OF her late charges and acquainted with
their ambitions. The young Indian takes
to books with extreme reluctance and
teaching such a school does not present
all OF the pleasures that teaching in the
ordinary school gives teacher an op.
portunity to enjoy. Miss Baasen says
she seems almost a stranger at Sleepy
Eye-the town having changed SO much.
