Boys Who Have Remained in Charles
Town.

Mr.. Editor While much has been
written of the boys who have lett Charles
T ,wn. nothing has been said of those
who remain. With editorial pride you
have followed these sons as they have
gone forth to try their fortunes in the
wide world, and i'll nearly every instance
you have been able TO give most flatter-
ing account. But you have not said one
word about the boy or girl who was born
and bred and is now living in that grand
old town. 1t may be that yonr extreme
modesty forbids this, for the time was when
you were the devil of a boy-thatis when
they called you the printers devil-but
you have entirely outgrown that The
time now is, hope, when you are much
revered and respected, and what is true
of yourself hope is true of all your citi-
zens, from sire to son. As there is no
town in all the Valley whose population is
less cosmopolitan, so there is none whose
citizens are more devoted to her most
substantial growth and highest welfare.
After all it is the people who make the
own. Happy is the boy who can say |
was born in Charles Town, and twice
happy is the man who can say l am a
citizen of Charles Town

Strikers Warned Workmen.

Posters were distributed about New
Ulm last week warning workingmen
not to accept positions in the Mime
apolis -four mills. They were signed
by the president of the Flour City
union and appealed to laborers here
not to lend assistance to the mill OWL
ers in defeating the strike. The post
ers set forth that the men had walked
out on a just demand and asked that
the call of the mills for men be ignored,
limiting that anyone who had the temer-
ity to accept*a job might expect trou-
BILE and even violence while at work.
AS far as the Review has been able to
learn the circulars have been without
effect. as all the men who intended to
take work in Minneapolis had already
gone to that city.

Several years ago, when Johnson &
Mueller first opened their factory, they
expressed a desire to locate in New Ulm
but for some reason the arrangement
was never entered into. In the light of
subsequent events it would seem that
this city was the loser by the failure
to secure the firm, for they have driven
thriving trade in their line and have
conducted their affairs very success
fully. In view of thisitwould probably
be policy for the New Ulm Commercial
Union to look into the merits of the
project and, if possible, make Mr..
Hugo some suitable offer.

AGED MAN BADLY HURT
Ladder Slips and He Falls From Roof
of House.

Chas. Hansing, an aged gentleman
residing on North Franklin street,
was very seriously injured last week
by falling from the roof his house.
Mr.. Hansing is a retired farmer and
last week was employing his spare
time painting his dwelling. He was at
work under the caves when the ladder
slipped from under him. He felt his
support going and clutched at the pro-
lection of the roof, clinging to it for
several minutes.
His strength, however, was not SUI
ficient for the strain; his grip finally
relaxed and he fell to the ground. A
low shed broke his fall somewhat and
probably saved him from instant
death, but as it was he was badly hurt
He alighted upon the ladder and the
shock has completely prostrated him
Mr.. Hansing is over 70 years of age
| and it is believed that his spine is af
fected, as he seems to suffer from par
tial paralysis. He is unable to NOV,
and cannot take nourishment Withou
assistance. A peculiar thing in con
lnection with his injury is that he doe
mot suffer the slightest pain.

BLOWN INTO WIRE FENCE
Rural Mail Carrier Fritz Has Strange
Experience.

Gael Fritz, mail carrier on rural
route No. l, had an exciting expert
ence with the storm of almost cyclonic
force which swept over the township
of West Newton Saturday morning.
His horses and the vehicle in which he
was riding appea:: to have been picked
up bodily by the wind and then hurled
into a. wire fence. Both animals re-
ce:ved cuts from the barbs and Mr..
Fritz was thrown to the earth with
such force as to render him uncon-
scious.
When ove"taken by the storm the
mail carrier was near the John CARR
och place. His team became fright
ened at the pelting hail stones which
preceded the wind and started to run,
but before they had gone two hundred
feet the top buggy was caught up and
carried toward the side of the road.
Mr.. Fritz was conscious of travelling
through the air al terrific speed but
remembers nothing more until he
awoke in Mr.. Garrioch's house. !
The latter witnessed the accident and
in telling of it says that as soon as the
wind had subsidized he ran out to the
road and there found the horses en-
tangled in the wi fence and the mail
carrier lying on the ground insens;ble.
He carried the man to his home and
then extricated the horses. After a
time Mr.: Fritz regained consciousness
and lie then found that his side was
badly bruised. He is, however, unable
to say whether he was kicked by one
| of the horses or sustained his injuries
when be was hurled to the ground.
After being hurt Mr.. Fritz remained
at the Carrioch farm for couple OF
hours and then felt able to resume his
jou, ney. He was stiff and sore from
the effects of his hurt and it required
the remainder Of the day for him to
cover his route, he reaching the post

TALKED SHIRT FACTORY
St. Peter Manufacturers Looking
For New Location.
Their Representative Thought New
UIm Would Answer.
Intimated That Company Would
Come Here For Inducement.

Bv Offering a reasonable induce
ment, it may be possible to prevail
upon the Hugo Shirt company OF st.
Peter. to move to New Ulm. It is un-
derstood that the firm in question is
looking for a new location and, from
all accounts, the management is very
favorably inclined toward this city,
they regarding the shipping facilities
offered as far superior to those of st.
Peter and believing that the change
would enable them to supply a larger
territory than is now within their
power.
The first intimation local business
men received of the fact that the Hugo
people we're including New Ulm in their
plans for the future was when their
travelling representative, Mr.. l.
Roebke, passed through here on his
regular trip last Tuesday. In CONVEX
sation with Frank Zschunke, OF the
firm of F. P. Zschunke & Co., Mr..
Roebke informed the local clothler
that his employers were considering
the advisability of leaving St. Peter
and he was positive that the tender OF
bonus would secure the factory foe
New Ulms He gave as the reason for
desiring the change that two shirt
factories in St. Peter were rather more
than the size OF the town warranted
and added that, as New Ulm was a
better shipping point, it would give a
=! factory located here a big advantage
over it's competitors.
Mr.. Roebke stated that the Hugo
Shirt factory would furnish employ
ment for from so to 100 persons at the
start. Last year their pay roll amounted
to S6, 900, but in future it will reach
So, 900 per annun. They manufacture
working shirts, d ess shirts, overalls,
duck coats and oroer ga :ments OF
coa..se materials. The St. Peter man
inquired whetlec the shoe factory was
still vacant. He was informed that IL
was occupied but MIR. Zschunke assured
him that the N. Henningsen properly
on Front street would answer all his
requirements.
Before his departure Mr.. RoebEe
gave Mr.. Zschunke to understand that
he would look into the proposition
further and see what sort of an arrange
ment could be made for a b1ilding.
He promised to take the matter up with
his Office and to notify people here OF
the decision of the management as soon
as convenient.
TheHugo shirt factory has been doing
business in ST. Peter for two years or
more Mr.. Hugo, the founder, formerly
travelled for Johnson & Mueller of St.
Peter, now ohnson & Co., and acquired

instruct the New Ulm delegates to the
forty-eighth annual meeting OF the
Minnesota Congregationalists to invite
that organization to meet in this city
in 1904. Mrs. G.. F. MOwery left for
St. Paul Monday afternoon to attend
the convention and G. A. Otvomeyer
went up yesterday morning. They have

another team of horses killed.
On Saturday afternoon Wolfgang
Hacker and John Strenzel were in

Review man detailed account of the
storm. M. Strenzel is in the employ
of John Stueber and in the morning
was at work in the field with a team.
About 1890 o'clock henoticed the storm
coming up with greatrapidly and drove
at full speed toward the barn, reaching
the structure in time to unfasten the
team and lead the horses to their
stalls.
He then started toward his employer S
house but as he rounded corner of
the barn the building caught the full
force of the wind and collapsed, he be-
ing caught beneath one of the falling
walls and carried to the ground. His
right arm and shoulder were severely
bruised by the impact but DR.. O. C.
Strickler found that none of the bones
were broken. The team was not hurt.
At the Stueber place the storm ap-
pears to have ragged fereely, for in ad-
dition to having his barn destroyed
Mr.. Stueber's wind mill was blown
down and fourteen windows in his
house beaten in by hail stones of great
size. One of his neighbors, Andrew
Stadtheer, had his barn blown down
and two horses in the building were in
stantly killed. Several other farmers
lost their windmills and in many places
wheat stacks were torn to pieces by the
high wind.
At Frank. Franta'sS farm his barn
was razed. 1t was a large, new structure
and had IS tons of hay stored in it
when destroyed. DR.. G. B. Weiser OF
this city, drove through West Newton
Sunday and he reports that near the
Epple and Biebl places the storm cut
,, swath about a mile and a half in
width. Every grain and hay stack he
saw had been torn to pieces, trees were
uprooted in many places and the hail
had completely stripped standing corr
! of it's leaves.
! In New Ulm the damage Was mo-
material. The storm came up almos
without warning and quickly drove
pedestrians from the streets. Light
ming struck VIM. Leonhardt's dwell
ing without doing great harm and an
other bolt burned out two transformer:
