New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1902-08-27

from one of the windows, showed that
the inhabitants were on the lookout for
the Indians. The decoration was quite
real and very attractive.
| Crone Bros had their four windows ex-
cellently decorated all of them repre-
senting features of the massacre. The
most striking of them all was the repre-
sentation, in MIXTURE of Fort Ridgely.
Those who knew the fort in the early
day say it is an excellent reproduction.
A covered army wagon is represented as
going down the road and the Minnesota
river flows as placidly by the fort i'll the
windows as it did by the original. The
display cost no small amount of money
and labor.
Among those deserving COMMUNICATION
for good service during the celebration
are the bands. They did excellent work,
all of them and earned every cent of the
money they get. The St. Peter band
which was here for the parade was also
good but of course did not have the
strain of so much playing as the home
bands.
A merrygo-round did a good business.
It was located on Minnesota street or
posite S. D. Peterson business house.
About the most interesting and graft
flying feature of the whole celebration
was the interest taken in it by the men
who went through the Massacre. gather
ed in groupes in pairs and in parties,
they entered vigorously into the details
of those days so long hid in the memory
of each other.
The work Of Heller & Gag on the
floats was that of genius and was the
source of many compliment. These
gentlemen have made themselves illustri-
Gus by their art and though they are not
appreciated as they should be their wo, k
IS none the less admired.
Visitors to the city were not spariug
in their praise OF the decorations and
gave it as their opinon that the merchants
, here had very fine taste for the beauti-
> full.
Nearly every person in the city had a
relative or friend and some had a good
many, who took advantage of the cele-
; bration to visit them. There was no lack
of company during Saturday and Sun
day.
H. L. Beecher did an excellent thing
for the celebration that should not soon
be forgotten. By his personal guarantee
he succeeded in getting the Northwestern
road to run special from Sleepy Eye
Saturday morning. The agent at Sleepy
Eye would not interest himself in the
r matter and Mr.. Beeche1 took it upon
himself to see that the people of that
city we're accommodated.
The Souvenir postal cards, on sale at
various places IN the city are an excel
? lent thing. In the first place they are
works of art and show some of the most
interesting points in the history of the
city. No nicer thing can be sent from
the city than one of these cards.
Roy G. Setter of St. Paul spent the

! returning on Monday to his work in that
city.
