New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1903-02-11

a daughter was born TO Mr.. and Mn.
Max Burg this morning.
IF, as the Journal intimates and which
is far from correct, the council expected
members Of the New Ulm Electric Light
20. to appear before them at the last
meeting for the arbitration OF the light
question, they were greatly mistaken in
the temper Of the men they have to dea j
with. They have but to remember that
Mr.. silverson appeared before the coun-
ell about q year ago and almost begged
them to consider some proposition and
they would not even talk about it.
g. G. Smith who for several years past
has been agent for the Northwestern at
Essig has been changed to better pos
5sition at OWatonna. Mr.. Smith, durlng
his stay in Essig has acted as CORE
spondent for the Review and his in
teresting letters from that place will be,
missed. He and his family were very
popular in the little village Of Essig and
on the eve of his departure the people
gave them a. handsome reception as. a
farewell token Of their esteem.
Herman Schappekahm of this city has
been given the contract for the erection.
of the new smoke stack for the Eagle
mill. This is quite an undertaking as
it is to be one ofthe largest IN this part
of the state. It will be $50 feet high.
and the diameter of the inside will he
seven feet. To erect this shaft will re-.
quire the large number OF 100000 bricks.
While this is being done the boiler room
will be greatly enlarged and new boilers
put in, which will put the mil! in the
best possible shape. E=..
Word was received in this city Mon
day of the death of Mrs. Emily =. Gates
of Rochester, sister of a. W and M. a..
Bingham, and mothersof Miss Ella Gates
at one time teacher in the public
schools of this city. Mrs. Gates for the
last few years has been sufferer from
Cancer and for the last year has endured
all the tortures that come from that
disease, dying almost from starvation,
being unable to take nourishment. The
brothers from this city are in Rochester
today to attend the funeral.
The druggists Of the state will oppose
the bill Introduce in the house by Rep.
Peterson regarding the sale of patient
medicines. They claim that it Is we'll
known fact that there are few proprietary
medicines put up that do not contain
more alcohol than that prescribed by the
bill, otherwise the article would not keep
and would be worthless as a medicine.
They will claim that the bill is in the
interests of the saloon keepers and the
wholesale liquor dealers, and a strong
lobby will be maintained to defeat the
bill.
Chas. Stuebe on Monday purchased
one of the largest if not the largest hog
that has been market in this city. The
beast weighed 825 pounds and was the
property of Jack Schneider. At the price
that is paid for pork the man be d small
fortune in that one animal which must
have brought in the neighborhood Of
$50. There is one thing against the
raising Of hogs SO large and that is few
buyers are prepared to handle such heavy
animals. The one that Mr.. Schneider
had attracted as much attention as an
elephant would have done.
There has been an excellent sale Of
seats for the play this evening at Turner
hall. Very few good seats are left down
stairs and scarcely any in the balcony. It
lis one of the best advance sales that the
house has had, and there is little reason
to fear that those who 60 will be at all
disappointed. If there IS anyone who
expects to attend it would be wise to Sc
cure the seats that are, lett, for if the sales
at the box office are IN proportion to
what they nave been on other occasions
I il will be difficult to get . seat on the
evening Of the performance. Il is graft
flying to know that the people of the city
appreciate q good entertainment and it
gives the manageme Mt Of the hall en-
lcouragement to getother plays that have
a reputation. If any reader of this is nm
decided about going he will not regret
| 1t If he goes at once and secures seats. Ii
