Thought Twas a TwiSter.

Persons who happened to be upon
the streets just before o'clock Friday
afternoon thought for a few minutes
that New Ulm was in for another scy-
clone experience. At that hour an omi-
nous-looking cloud appeared in the
sky and passed rapidly across the city.
While the weather had not been of
the sort that usually precedes cyclones,
still the cloud was funnel-shaped and
went swirling along after the fashion
of twister. Older residents of New
Ulm. who passed through the disaster
of July Is, 1881, noticed the similarity
between the cloud and the one which
destroyed SO much property here
twenty-five years ago and they follow
ed it's course with apprehension. It
was, however, at a great height and
did not descend to the earth before dis
appearing.

May Take Full Month.

A full month may be required to
make the alterations in the fire alarm
system. Linemen in the employ of the
city began the work of stringing wire
this week but as there are five miles of
old wire to be taken down and six miles
of new wire to be erected the task is
one Of very respectable proportions.
Supt. Adolf W agner has small hopes
of being able to complete it during:
September but intends pushing the
work as fast as possible. Poles for the
additional arc lights have been put in
place and are now ready for wiring.
When the lamps are in position all of
the churches and public buildings in
the city will be provided with lights.

puted financial standing of the patient.
In great many instances they were
paid outright in cash, but where the
farmer could not do this he gave his
note.
Milford, Cottonwood and Sigel town
ships were, canvassed thoroughly and
the doctors found a goodly number
of people who were in need of their
remedies. When the demand for their
services lessened they went went to a
local bank and discounted the notes
in their possession. There were thirty
of these obligations, whose faces called
for from@s $40 to $3.50, and after they had
been disposed of the doctors left for
Springfield, where they have since been
practising.
Since their departure many of the
erstwhile patients have been reviling
themselves for the ease with which they
were separated from their dollars. The
novelty of the atomizer has palled and
they still have the same old aches and
pains. One or two of the sufferers
aver that they have been greatly bene-
fitted by the treatment and express
satisfaction, but the remainder do not
consider their investment profitable
and will pay for their experience as
quietly as possible. Quite few of the
notes have been redeemed, although
they are not mature, but it is safe to
say that the local physicians, upon
whose skill and reliability depends
their livelihood, will be consulted when
next there is need of medicines or
doctor.

HIS FALL WAS FATAL
Accident Month Ago Causes Death
of Henry Beinhorn.

From the effects of fall upon a
crosswalk at the corner of Broad way
and Second North street, Henry Bein-
horn passed away Monday evening at
his home on Broadway. The injuries
which caused his death were sustained
on the 31st of July and he fingered for
more than a month. After the acct
dent it was not believed that he had
been hurt seriously but the shock was
severe and he lost strength steadily.
Late last week his condition became
alarming and Sunday morning he
suffered a stoke of paralysis. His son,
William, was summoned from St. Paul
at once and during therest the day he
remained in comatose state. Monday
there was no perceptible Improvement
and at 6 o'clock in the evening death
relieved him of his suffering.
Henry Beinhorn was 80 years of age
and one of the territorial pioneers of
Minnesota. Born in Braunschweig,
Germany, Oct. Is, 1923, he spent his
early manhood in the land of his natiyi-
ty. In 1853, when thirty years of age,
he emigrated to America and took up
his residence in Baltimore, Md. There
he semained for three years and then
went to Chicago, where he spent a
year.
While at Baltimore he was married
to Miss Johanna sGebest and in the
year 1857 he brought her to Brown
county, settling in the township of
Milford. Five years after taking his
claim the Indians took to the warpath
and descended upon the settlements.
Mr.. Beinhorn fed to New Ulm and
after assisting in the defense of the
town continued to make it his perm anent
home. -- --s-.
Deceased is survived by three child
rem, William Beinhorn of St. Paul.
Albert Beinhorn and Miss Emily Bein-
horn of this city. Funeral services
will be held from the family residence
at 2 O'Clock tomorrow afternoon.

THEY EXPECT ENJOYMENT
New Ulm Excursionists Looking
For Good Time at Carnival.
More Than Two Hundred To Visit
Sleepy Eye This Evening.
Special Train to Leave Depot in
This City at 700 O'clock.

les. i .I-sr7E s
Upwards of two hundred excursion
lists will board the special train on the
Chicago & North Western this even
ing and go to Sleepy Eye to take in
the sights at the carnival which has
been in progress there since Monday.
Geo. W. Barnes, F. w. johnson and
others who have been active in pro-
noting the excursion have met with
great encouragement. There has been
a very liberal response on the part of
New Ulm people and the old town will
be represented by a large and enthusi-
astic delegation tonight.
There will be no lack of music, as
both the Second Regiment and Con-
cordia bands have agreed to accom-
pany the crowd. When the subject
was mentioned to the Concordia band
last week they Immediately rendered
their services and the Second Regi-
ment has shown itself equally public
spirited. At the meeting of the latter
organization last Wednesday night
its members voted unanimously to
take the trip and they will be out in
force.
With the assistance of the musicians
it will be possible to form very cred
liable procession, and the gentlemen
in charge of the affair have planned
upon getting the bands and people in
line at the Sleepy Eye depot. From
that point the parade will march
through the streets of Griffithville and
eventually descend upon the carnival
grounds with a flourish.
Leaving New Ulm, the special train
is scheduled to pull out at 700 o'clock
and it will return about midnight.
Several coaches will be provided and
there will be accommod ations for all.
Quite a number of ladies have ex-
pressed desire to patronize the ex-
cursion and there will doubtless be a
very generous sprinkling of the fairer
sex in the crowd. 70 insure their
comfort the committee has gone to
particular pains and they wish as
many as possible to turn out
The street shows at the Sleepy Eye
fair are furnished by the Patterson &
Brainerd Carnival company, which
exhibited very successfully at Tracy
last week. This concern puts on a
varied list of attractions including a
vaudeville performance, miniature
railroad, Ferris wheel, palace of mys-
teries, electric fountain, spiral tower,
and others. All are said to be high
class and visitors will not want for
entertainment.
Arrangements have been made by
the merchants and citizens of Sleepy
Eye to entertain large crowd and
they are prepared to do the honors in
a satisfactory manner. They have
everything in readiness for the recep-
ton of the New Ulm party and the
newspapers of that town say that moth
ing will be left undone to make the
stay of their guests enjoyable.

Several Erstwhile Patients Regret
Parting With Dollars.

Promising amazing things in the way
Of cures and representing themselves
as the very good friends of the sick
and suffering, two physicians, presum-
! ably of the quack order, travelled
about in the vicinity of New Ulm for a
few weeks this summer and reaped a
golden harvest. They were specialists
in all diseases and showed no dis
elimination in accepting cases. But
they wanted money, lots of it, for their
ministrations and now they have de-
parted.
, During the month ofMay the doctors
in question first appeared in New Ulm
and engaged rooms at local hotel.
One of them registered as G. E. Rowlin
of St. Paul, and claimed to be
connected with sanitarium in that
city. The other was known as J. G.
Hackman and hailed from Milwaukee.
They remained here about ten weeks
and it is thought that they realized
between 1000 and $1,000 during that
short period.
A very unusual thing about the pair,
for their profession, was that neither
of them were addicted to fiashy clothes.
Rowlin was an elderly man with a
gray moustache and very common
place in appearance. His companion
was tall and slender but likewise
dressed plainly and without show.
Upon him devolved much of the work
of the actual practice and he did the
bulk of the driving about the country.
Theirmethod ofoperationwas simple.
Driving up to farmers home they
would, whenever possible, sound the
women folk of the household upon the
health question. If there were an in
valid Or a sufferer with chronic
disease about the place they would take
the case without hesitancy but if no
ills existed they took it upon them
selves to manufacture malady.
Symptoms were recited and diseased
conditions described, with the result
that the woman usually became imbued
with the idea that she was in ned of
treatment. She would be left to present
the matter to her husband and upon
gaining his acquiescence the doctors
would commence their visits.
Nothing complicated was attempted
in the way of treatment. Very few
drugs were administered; little, if any,
surgical work performed, and in by
far the greater majority of cases the
'cure'' was effected through the use
of an atomizer. These little vessels
retail in drug stores at IS cents or 81. SO

ton in it's use the doctors imposed
charges varying from $40 to $3.50, they

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, AMI until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
great many years doctors pronounced
it local disease and prescribed local
remedies. and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to to be a constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,

Man Born In Kentucky.

At a meeting in Louisville of the
Central Association of Railroad Of

ing B. Thoney spoke parable
which is interesting reading in these
days:
"Man that is born in Kentucky
is of feud days and full of virus.
"He fsheth. fiddleth, cusseth and
fighteth all the days of his life.
"He shunneth water as mad
dog and dinketh much good whisky.
when he riseth from his cradle
he goeth forth to seek the scalp Of
his grandsire's enemy and bringeth
home in his carcass the ammuni-
ton of his neighbours wife's cousins
uncle's fatherin-law, who avengeth
the dead.
"Yea, verify, his life is uncertain
and he knoweth not the hour he
may be jerked hence.
''He goeth forth on a journey
halfshot and cometh back on a
shutter full of shot.
'"He riseth in the night to let the
cat out, and lol it taketh nine
doctors three days to pick the
buckshot from his body.
"I1e goeth forth in Joy and glad
ness and cometh back in scraps
and fragments.
"He calleth his fellow-man a liar
and getteth himself filled with
scrap iron, even unto the fourth
generation.
"a cyclone bloweth him into the
bosom of a neighbor'. wife and his
neighhor's wife's husband bloweth
him into the bosom of Father
Abraham before he has time to ex-
plain.

in wait for him on election day,

his enemies. indianapolis Senti-

TO RAISE SALARIES.

Senator Johnson introduced a bill
Tuesday to increase the salaries of the
Justices of the Supreme court from
5000 per year to $1,000 per year.
He also introduced a bill to appro-
pirate $4,000 for the state exhibit at
the st. Louis fair in 1904.
1t might be diserabie to pay high
salaries i'm order to encourage better
men to serve the state as Judges but
it seems as us the state has gotten
along very well so far with $4,000 men
on the bench and we think we might
contenue to keep house with them fol
some time to come without any very
serious consequences. AS to the
exhibit. We believe it is good idea
to advertise the state at all the ex-
positions held, but if we have to pay
$4,000 for each exhibit we are
afraid our revenues will have to be in
creased very materially. $4,000 is
what the Worlds Fair exhibit cost us,
and it strikes us that $1,000 would be
a heavy enough invertment to make
at st. Louis.
