OLD FIRM TO CLOSE OUT
After 81 Years Of Business r. Pfef-
ferle is to Retire.

If it is possible for him to do SO by
the first of September r. Pfeferle will
sell out his stock of groceries and re-
tire from business. This is contingent
upon getting some one to buy up the
stock and take it off his hands.
Among the men who have been in
business here since the early times Mr..
Pfeferle is one of the remaining few.
His first venture was with A. Blan-
chard, being in partnership in the
grocery business with him from 1870
until 1877 when Mr.. Blanchard went
out and Mr.. Pfefferle assumed con-
troll. He carried on the business in
his own name for many years and then
took in as a partner VIM. Fenske who
was with him about one year and then
Mr.. Pfefferle again assumed entire
control of the business.
During the entire time he has been
almost continuously in the same loca-
ton, having his stock in a building

building now is, which was taken away
to make room for the brick building
as it now stands, which was construct
ed in 1890 and which he has continu-
ously occupied ever since.
He has been very successful and
whilehe has not accumulat fortune
has acquired enough to warrant hin
in laying down the reins of active
duties and spending the remaining
years in the pursuit of pleasure.
The Pfefferles have ever been {
mercantile people, the father of r
Pfefferle being the man who opened
the first gun shop in the city Of st. Pau
which was no city, but a struggling
frontier post. Mr.. Pfefferle retire
ment will give some younger person
an opportunity to launch upon the Sc;
of business, but the old stand vii

Something Out Of the Ordinary.

Norris & Rowe's European agent
secured top line act when, upon visit
ing the Paris hippodrome he secured
for his employers, the Groh's, a family
of six graceful equilibrists. Upon
pyramids, ladders and columns, this
remarkable family perform feats of
skill and intricate maneuver that seem
to utterly defy the laws of gravitation
and equilibrium. When the six Groh' S
are performing together, it makes a
bewildering display that fairly dazzles
theeye. In this seasons performances
of Norris & Rowe's Circus there will
constantly be three different acts al
ways going on at the same time. In
terspersed with the various acrobatic
features, will come the many new train
ed animal acts. Prof Norris, the
famous trainer of wild and native ami
mails promises us something out of the
ordinary in this line. Norris and
Rowe's animal acts have always prov

surely berelied upon to furnish US with
some new thrills of startled wonder
and delight when they appear at New

Iuo iotuFu vi tIlc ml1lbld company
from camp attracts large crowds of
people to the depot each year at the
time when the boys are expected, and
this year was no exception. The
platform and the sidewalks leading to
the st. Louis road were packed with
people Thursday night when the train
pulled IN.
A number of musicians conspicuous
among them being J. A. Eckstein with
a cornet, arranged to meet the return
ing soldiers, and having practiced a
piece that they could all play without
too much discord, awaited the arrival
of the train. Carrying United States
flag they headed the company as it
marched to it's quarters at the armory,
and when the Second Regiment band
was not playing filed in with the piece
they knew. It was a happy conceit and
took we'll.
Upon unloading from the train the
men of A company formed in line with
the band at the head and marched to
the armory where they checked in
their material and prepared to go to
their homes. On Minnesota street as
the company appeared red lights were
set off and the entire procession illumi
mated. This is one of the contri butions
made by W. G. Alvin, whose interest

The work Of the company in camp
this year has been better than at any
previous time and the officers are more
than satisfied. A company had the
largest representation, kept the
straightest lines in the parades and
formations and preserved the best
decorum Of any Of the companies that
have been in camp this year. None
of the boys were absent without leave,
none were in the guard house and all
were at hand when they were wanted.
This is a record that they as we'll as
the people of the city which they repre-
sent, can be proud. 1t is gratifying
to know that in these things the pride
of the city is as much at stake as that
of the individual men and that the men
| look at in that way.
The Springfield contingent won the
praise of the officers of the company
for the persistence they have shown
and the soldierly way in which they
conducted themselves, being, as they
are, away from the command and
facing difficulties with which that the
others have not to contend.
Capt. Buschers having to act as
major in the absence of one of the
officers, the command of the company
while it was in camp fell to the LIST
Lieutenant, Albert Pfaender, and it is
said that he discharged the duties OF

of the senior officers and to the men

entered upon it with some fear.

THE PERSONAL FEATURES.

Many are inclined to think that the
regrettable personalities concerning
the presidential candidates that crop,
into the campaign towards It's closs
we're peculiar to this election. The
Washington Post. speaking Of this
view says:
The inevitable drift Of the cam
paIgn into personalities this year.
In spite OF all the good resolu.ions o.
its principal candidates, and after
the orators on both sides had held
themselves In check through tovcial
months OF eager work, recalls the fact
that for the last forty years no such
contest has escaped the taint. There
seems to be Q streak In human nature
which demands that sort Of thing IA
an accompaniment Of really active
electioneering. Even In years when
there have bcen big issues enough
to satisfy every requirement for an
impersonal struggle, 1t has seemed
impossible to keep shut entirely the
floodgates OF abuse.
A particularly fragrant example
was the warfare made against Mr.
Lincoln when he ran for reelection In
1854 He was represented as a buf
foon. a libertipe in speech. a heartless
ghoul. who ~oald crack tests on a
