LOUIS SCHILLING.

1t was in the spring of 1855 while the
settlers were still at the Indian village
up the river that Louis Schilling, to-
gether with his father and two other
men, came to the new country. They
wanted to take up claim and made a
trip down the river from the Indian
village along the east bluff. Coming
to the site of the present city they
thought of it as fine location for a
town and drank water from the spring
at Frenzeps pop factory. Not house,
nothing but the unframed wilderness
was here then. Later they took up a
timber claim in Milford. Then the
surveyor arrived and the town was
laid out. Mr.. Schilling is carpenter
by trade and built the first house in
the new village. It was of logs and
was used as courthouse and general
public building. Mr.. Schilling is now
IN his sixty ninth year and was city
clerk OF New Ulm for seventeen years.
holding the office for that number of
years consecutively until last spring.
He was also town clerk of Milford for
a number OF years, SO that he is closely
Identified with the history of the city
and Of Brown county.

WILLIAM PFAENDER.

William Pfaender is perhaps more
closely identified with the early
growth of New Ulm than any other
man. Although he did not arrive at
New Ulm until 1856, he came as the
president of the colonization company,
and it was his efforts which brought
innew settlers and encouraged the little
community to make the wilderness
blossom. He was postmaster for a
number of years and recalls how he
kept the mail for the whole town in a
cigar box. The financial crash of
1857, he says, made the outlook in the
new settlement pretty dark, but after
while they got to raising more farm
produce and then things went better.
In 1860 Colonel Pfaender was sent to
the state legislature and in 1870, I'll,
~ to the state senate. In 1875 he was
elected state treasurer. Since then he
has been engaged in the real estate
business. Colonel Pfaender was born
in Wurtemburg, Germany, in 1926 and
came to America in 1913, settling in
Cincinnati.

,IOHN C. TORERER.

To understand the feeling experience
ed by those early immigrants who,
leaving the city of Chicago, struck
west into the wilds of Minnesota is nc
easy task for the younger generation,
but the general impression made up.
on the first arrivals at New Ulm does
not seem to have been a favorable
one. The site was too swampy, toe
sandy and altogether uninviting
This was the first idea that struck
Mr.. Toberer when in 1856 he arrived
with the party under Mr.. Pfaender
But it was to be his home, and to-
gether with the other pioneers he sci
about the work of making himself anc
the community prosperous. Mr.. lob
erer's health was not very good il
the early days and his excursion into
the wilderness was made partly with
the idea of regaining health. Farm
life worked magic with his constitu.
ton and he was soon in good health
Later he moved into town and opened
a jewelry store which he still runs.
Mr.. Toberer was born in Wurtemburg,
Germany, in 1886 and came to America
in 1854.

PETER MACK.


In the party which arrived on the
site where now stands the prosperous
city of New Ulm in the fall 1854 was
Peter Mack, one of the six who out
of that little band are alone left to
tell the tale of the hardships of that
first winter. Mr.. Mack's memory is
still bright and he tells the story of
the months passed in the Indian
village, of the trips on foot across the
miles of snow to Fort Ridgely after
supplies, of the suffering from the cold
and sometimes want of sufficient food,
as only he and his comrades can.
When the town of New Ulm was
surveyed and houses built, MIR. Mack
did not join those who chose the
village life but lived on his claim in
Milford, just a couple of miles out,
and has remained there since farming,
with the exception of two years follow
ing the Indian outbreak, when he
moved his family to St. Paul. In the
fight with the redskins Mr.. Mack was
one of the defenders and was wounded
twice by Indian bullets. He has always
been held in high esteem by his
neighbors and has held various town
offices. He was born in Wurtemburo.
Germany, in 1880.

HENRY VAJEN.

First treasurer of Brown county and
one OF the very first merchants in New
Ulm, Henry Vajen's name and career
is linked closely with the history of
the early days in this city and the
county. He came with the other pio-
neers to this city in 1856 and opened
up a general merchandise store. His
health had not been good but like
several others, the vigorous air of the
new country seemed the needed tonic
and he still lives a hale and hearty
old man. In 1868 Mr.. Vaien retired
from business and went on a visit OF
four years to his native land. Ger
many. In 1872 he returned and has
since made New Ulm his home. Run
ming a store in the pioneer days was
entirely different than it is now. Mon
ey was a scarse article and almost all
business was done with credit slips
which was the currence of the times.
The Indians had money and what little
came into the hands of the merchants
was mostly from them. Before com
ing to.New Ulm Mr.. Vajen had had an
Interesting career, being one of the
Forty-niners who sought gold in Cali
fornia.

WILLIAM HUMMEL.

William Hummel was one of the
party of Cincinnati emigrants who
joined with Colonel William Pfaender
when he started for the wilderness on
the banks of the Minnesota where the
Chicago Land Verein had chosen to
build city. A little village of twenty
three shacks greeted him and here he
took up his residence for while,
later moving onto claim in Sigel.
Farming was his business until 1868,
with the exception of two years spent
in the Union army, 1896, as sergeant
OF Company M, Second Minnesota
cavalry. In the year 1868 he moved
into town and started a drug business,
and his home has since been in the
city. Since quitting drug dispensing
Mr.. Hummel has been engaged in
several other lines of business. He
was born in Germany and accompanied
his parents as lad to America in
1915, the landing being made at New
Orleans. Here he lived for three years
and then removed to Cincinnati.

Why Old People are Especially Liable
to Systemic Catarrh.
When old age comes on, catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic catarrh is
almost Gai-assal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensable to old people. Peruna
is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that meets these
cases exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally;
nothing but an effective systemic rem
edy could cure them. This is exactly
what Peruna is.
If you do not receive prompt and sat-
isfactory results from the use of Peruna.

MEINRAD WALL.

One of the six living members of the
party which spent the first fall and
winter in the new settlement, Meinrad
Wall has many recollections of the
early days. He recalls how the party
drove down from ST. Paul with an OK
team and a team Of horses, one of the
latter belonging 10 him. That first
winter seems as but yesterday. He and
a friend did not stay with the rest in
the Indian village but crossed the
river into what is now West Newton
and built them little log hut, rooted
with bark. Here they not only lived
and slept but kept their horses. They
had no stove, but did their cooking in
a fireplace. There bed was made of
grass on the floor. The first winter
spent here was hard one on account
of the scarcity of provisions and the
poor protection against the cold
Wall says he made frequent trips to
Fort Ridgely on foot for provisions
which he carried back on his shoulders.
Mr.. Wall is II years old and was
born in Wurtemburg, Germany. He
has just returned from Oregon where
he spent the last twenty-five years of
his life.

Wherever baseball men meet these
days the spit ball always m up for
discussion.
Mike Kelly had nc less than three
pitchers on his team last season who
relied almost entirely on the spit ball
to win their games.
sit is o great ball" said Kelly in
speaking of it, land now that the big
! ~leaguers have taken it up you will see
, almost every pitcher try to use it, and
some will be more successful tina n
others. !.
"Tliat ball was discovered out on
the coast. They used it out there long
before we ever dreamed of it here,
and when we played at Buffalo last
| October the PLAYERS Of that team had
never seen the spit ball and did not
know what to think of it.
Charley Chech, who will be in the
Reds next season, has a spit ball, and
it is o beaut. He has perfect control
Of it, and when it is working right for
him he simply cnnnot be hit.
1--WE found that the oatohers had
some difficulty throwing that spit
bali. When ever they happened to
catch a hold on that slippery spot the
ball was apt to go out in center field
instead of second base. But my
catohers got around that by using
resin or their throwing fingers.
Charley Cech, by tho way, is a
great pitcher, and he will prove it
with the Reds next yeHr. He is an
artist on the rubber, and, best OF all,
he is an honorable fellow. | mover
HAD to tell Ohech to warm up when
one of the other pitchers was working

out aud warm up and get into the
game.
"He is the incest fellow In the bust
ness to handle. You never know that
he is on the team. Heahas nothing to
say, hut is always there looking after
his business.
II want to make one prediction for
Uiiech, and that is that there won't
be q pitcher in the National League
next year who will outfield him. In
that respect lie is q class by himself,
and time will prove what l say to be
