The reception given by the Juniors
Friday evening in honor Of the gradu-
ating class of the high school was a
genuine success from every point Of
view.
Goodies elegant parlors were pro-
fusely decorated by the entertaining

ranged daintily on the large chande-
lier, in the main room, giving the eff
feet of large bell. On a table in the
center of the bell hunreds of marsh
marigolds were arranged, thus making
the maroon and gold colors of the
class very prominent in a unique way.

MAKE IT A THIRD LARGER
New Ulm Roller Mill Company
Will Expand.
Big Addition Planned For the EN-.
pire Mill.
Plant to Be Given New Station
airy Engine.

Improvements which will require the
expenditure of large amount of
money are to be made by the New Ulm
Roller Mill company this summer. An
addition will be erected at the Empire
mill, a new engine purchased and
various other alterations made. When
they are completed the mill will be,
larger and better in every respect and
it's capacity will be greatly increased.
The step which the management has
decided to take has been under con-
sideration for some time. Since the
reorganization of the company it has
steadily forged to the front and for a
year or more has been unable to
supply the vastly increased demands
for it's products. Some provision had
to be made to handle the growing
business and the gentlemen interested
in the industry recently determined to
add to the value of their property by
investing in new machinery and build
ings.
Operations along this line will be
begun in the engine room, it being
the intention to dispose of the station
airy at present in use and replace it
with a larger and more powerful
machine. A Mr.. Simpson, represent
ing the Minneapolis Steel & Machinery
company of Minneapolis, was here a
short time ago and figured with Man
ager B. Stockman upon an engine
suitable for their needs. The mill now
has one with 175-horsepower, but the
new engine, which will be of late and
improved pattern, is to have 25o-horse-
power. This, it is thought, will prove
adequate, but in setting it up the
position will be changed SO as to give
an economical connection with the
mill proper, fault which has existed
in the present engine.
AS there is no room in the Empire
to accommodate more Touring ma
chinery, an addition to the building is
necessary. This will be erected on the
west side of the structure and will be
the full three stories in height. It's
exact dimensions have not been
definitely decided upon as yet but it
will add at least a third to the size of

TRAIN MANGLES STRANGER
Passenger Locomotive Kills Man
Near Mankato.
Was Walking on Track and Failed
to Heed Signals.
Unfortunate is Believed to Be John
Gaffney of Iowa.

Northwestern passenger No. SOB, in
charge of Conductor Zickrick and
Engineer Scott, ran down and killed
a man who was walking on the tracks
near South Bend Sunday afternoon.
The accident occurred about three
miles west of the Mankato union
depot and the victim was killed in
stantly. He did not heed the danger
signals sounded by the engineer and
his body was fearfully mangled.
Leaving Mankato Sunday the North
western and Omaha started at the
same time but upon reaching the point
where the tracks separate the North
western was some distance in advance.
1t was then that Engineer Scott noticed
the man walking on the track. He
seemed unmindful of the roar of the
approaching train and even when the
engineer sounded the whistle furiously
he failed to look around. The emergen-
cy air brake was applied but it was
impossible to prevent the tragedy and
in an instant the man was hurled to
the roadbed and crushed beneath the
wheels.
He was terribly mangled. One leg
was cut off just below the knee and
mashed to a pulp. The other leg was
also nearly severed below the knee.
His body was bruised up in other
places, and the back of his skull was
crushed in and the brains oozing out.
He is man five feet ten inches in
height, weighing from $50 to 100
pounds with clean shaver face and
grey hair which had been recently
barbered and was worn rather pompa-
dour. The eyebrows are black and the
eyes brown. His features are regular,
but appear like those of an Irishman.
The man was dressed in fairly
good dark suit of clothes, and wore
No. 8 shoes. On his person was found
30 cents in money, a check book out
of which all the checks had been torn,
and letter addressed to Mrs. Kate
Ingersoll, Hartley, Iowa. The latter
was signed "John,' and read as if
addressed to his sister.
A telegram addressed to Mrs. Inger-
soil elected the reply that the de-
cription answered to John Gaffney
and relatives were expected to reach
Mankato yesterday to take charge of
the remains.

This evening in Turner Hall the

Catholic Order of Foresters, will give

Elaborate preparations have been
made for the affair and royal treat
ment is in store for the guests. Dances
given by the Foresters are always
brilliant social events and the one this

that the crowd will be large.

the mill. Plans for the addition are
now being drawn and work upon it
will be begun at the earliest moment
possible.
Increased space for the storage OF
wheat is not needed at this time. The
big elevator erected last year will be
able to carry enough grain to keep
the plant running but it is proposed
to move the copper shop to another
location. If this is not deemed feasible
new shop will be built some distance
from the mill. The company is also
negotiating with the municipal light
ing plant with a view to having them
supply power for the feed and cereal
mill.

Excursion Well Patronized.

Eighty tickets were sold from New
Ulm to the Twin Cities Saturday for
the Chicago & Northwestern excursion.
The excursion was run in two sections
of ten cars each and was very we'll
handled by the officials, the first train
reaching this city right on schedule
time at 1890. The second followed
fifty minutes later and both were
crowded, it being estimated that
between 1000 and 1900 passengers
were carried.

An Old Copy Of Tina Keowee Courier.

j. f. Morton brought to our Office last
week very interesting and aged copy
of The Keowee Courier, published then
at Old Pickens Court House, on the
keowee river, and dated July goth, 1861.
The paper at that time was owned by
Robt. a. Thompson, r. Young and w.
H. Holcombe. The contents of the
paper are intensely interesting, especially
! so to those who were on the stage of action
then and are now still living. j. e..
Hagood was the Clerk of Court then,
Robt. A. Thompson was the Commis-
sioner in Equity, w. #. Holcombe was
Ordinary, and l.. @. Craig was Sheriff.
The great civil war had been in progress
only few months and the paper is filled
with war news from all over the country.
Col r. A. Thompson, the editor, writes
! interestingly of his trip from home to
Richmond, Va, the seat of war, and the
capitol of the Confederate States. Cot
ton is quoted at that time at 154 to 151
cents per pound. An obituary notice of
Mrs: Martha Doyle, wife of James H.
Doyle, is published. $25 reward for a
runaway negro appears in this issue, and
many other interesting items of local
and general character. A reproduction
of this paper in it's entirety would prove
valuable publication and would be read
no doubt with avidity and keen interest
by the people of Ooonee and Pickens
counties,
