A sad tragedy was that of the ac-
cidental shooting of little Harold
Terry, of Oskaloosa, last Saturday
afternoon near what is known as the
Rockford" and north of painter
Greek bridge, was where his life
blood mingled with the water of the
creek, and near the Frank White
head home, where soon kind hands
conveyed the sufferer and by them
was tenderly cared for, for the few
minutes life remained, and after to
cleanse from the little dead face and
matted hair as much as possible, the
sickening traces of the tragedy be-

day, complete canvass of the coun-
ty having been made by the firms
representatives under the directions
Of G. E. Davenport. Mr.. Davenport
reports fine business in this county,
and as their stay here was prolonged
several weeks longer than was at

evidently true. Those who have deal

fair treatment in all cases and no ex-
pressions but of satisfaction and COM

Many farmers are renting their
farms and moving to town, the high

to clear about as much profit by
renting as by farming themselves.
Just at present there are many
renters looking for locations in botn

quite boom in that line OF business.
There are also many sales of homes
In town and country. Moving is be-
ginning to be the order of the day.

LOCAL COMPANY IS LUCKY
New Ulm Land Concern is Most
Fortunate.
Road Built Across Their Holdings
by Canadian Pacific.
One Quarter Section to Be Made
Into a Townsite.

Stockholders in the New Ulm Land
and Investment company will profit
greatly by a recent decision OF the
officials of the Canadian Pacific rail
way. They have completed their plans
for extending their line from Areola
to Regina, a distance of about us
miles, and the new road will be built
across the holdings Of the local con-
Germ. AS result their lands will in
crease at least So per acre in value and
in addition they will have a townsite
to dispose of.
The new road is branch line and is
run through for the purpose of open
ing up a large territory. It will con-
meet with the main line of the Canadian
Pacific at Regina, the capital and
principal city of the Northwest Terri
tories. It will run diagonally across
the land held by the New Ulm COM
pany but will not cut their property
up badly, the survey taking course
which touches upon the corners of
several sections but does not pass
directly through any of them.
Only one quarter section is ruined
for farming purposes and there the
railroad men have been considerate
enough to locate a townsite. The
station will be known as Kronau and
it will be divided into town lots at
once. An arrangementhas been entered
into with the railroad company to do
the surveying and H. N. Somsen is
now in Assiniboia perfecting the de-
tails. 49,.
All of the land owned. here is now
within four or five miles of a town, and
the greater portion is much closer, as
second station has been laid out just
north of their tract. Heretofore the,
distance to town has varied from IL
to 20 miles, Regina being the nearest
place at which farmer might dispose
of his produce. -'t
The improved market facilities will
increase the value of the land to $40
and Sl5 per acre. In Assiniboia the
New Ulm Land and Investment COM
pany owns tract of 1880 acres and
the boom in price is, therefore, a
matter of some moment. Construction
work has already begun upon the new
road and it is expected that trains will
be moving by fall.

Praise For New Ulm Girl.

4. Mrs. M. Mullen and daughter, Miss
Birdie, returned Saturday noon from
Notre Dame, Ind, Miss Mullen hav-
ing graduated Thursday from st.
Mary S academy, one of the foremost
institutions Of learning for girls and
young ladies in the United States. In
its account of the commencement exer-
cises the South Bend (Ind. Daily
Times published the following tlatter-
ing review of Miss Mullen's paper:
ssMiss b. Mullen, in The Man and
His Work, declared that the man only
endowed with a conception of true
beauty, falls short of true art when
that artistic sense finds its expression.
There is such thing as building up
a second self-an artificial personals
ity-which often finds expression, but
will never be true art. The genius
that produces the great masterpieces
is a gift of God, that gift never being
found alike in two persons. To every
one is given a distinct revelation Of
ability, varying with the ability OF
expression by the Individual. Every
man should aim to give his best abil-
ity it's best expression. The fair young
essaist made much out of her subject
and presented her deductions grace
fully.' ~..

High Above The Floods.

Floods and high waters which wit
messed such loss of life and property
damage elsewhere, did not cause even
a temporary cessation of work in the
building of the Worlds Fair at ST..
Louis. Even the task of grading was
impracticable for only a few days. The
drainage on the Exposition grounds is
perfect, and the water from heavy rains
ran harmlessly off. St. Louis was
entirely free from the ravages of the
Mississippi, which was higher this
year than for half a century. Fortu.
nately St. Louis is on the west side oil
the river. It was on the east side Of
the stream, in the lowlands of Illinois
where the river over ran it's banks.
The ''Mound City, was the appropri-
ate name applied to St. Louis in the
early days. The city is built on e
series of hills extending west from the
rivers bank. The business section is
more than sixty feet above the high
est point ever reached by the Missis
sippi, and the Worlds Fair grounds
are still 100 feet higher. Trains on ST.
Louis railroads that pass through
East St. Louis on the Illinois side
were delayed for several days, bu
aside from this St. Louisans were no
affected by the floods.

& Next week there will be change in
the millinery firm of Elder & Thomas.
Mrs. M. Elder has disposed of her
Interests to Mrs. 7. Thomas and on
July lst will retire from the firm. This
step on the part of Mrs. Elder is
occasioned by the fact that her frail
health will not allow of her taking an
active participation in business affairs
and she accordingly withdraws. Mrs.
Thomas will continue the business in
the Buenger block and has already
purchased portion of her fall stock.
