ELOPERs HAVE SEPARATED
Mrs. Velikanje and Henry Raschka
Have Parted.
Latter Has Left Woman and Gone
to Seattle, Wash.
Husband Learns That Couple Were
in Sank Rapids.

After leaving her husband and child
rem to elope with neighbo or. Henry
Raschke. Mrs. Albin Velikanie has
been in turn deserted. She is no longer
living with the man for whom she
sacrificed her home and Raschka is
reported as having departed for the
Pacific Coast. Mrs. Velikanje is said
to be in St. Paul or Minneapolis and
may soon be discovered by her husband
In it's issue of Friday the st. Cloud
Times printed story concerning the
erring couple. It stated that Emil B.
Velikanje, who recently returned to
the United States from Alaska, was in
ST. Cloud that day in conference with
Sheriff Bernick of Stearns county,
and the village officials of Sank Rapids
Regarding thecase. With the assistance
of the authorities mentioned Mr.. Veil
kanje was able to learn that after
leaving their homes the pair took
shelter at Sank Rapids. They lived
together there for quite time but re-
Gently decided to separate and Raschka
left for Seattle, while the woman is
supposed to have gone to the cities.
Raschka and Mrs. Velikanje will be
remembered as the parties who eloped
from Sleepy Eye on January 8th. They
lived on adjoining farms in Mulligan
township and Raschka and Albin Veil
kanje owned a threshingrig in common.
On the 8th day of January the couple
drove to Sleepy Eye, where Raschka
borrowed $50 fromhis mother, and both
deserted their families. Their flight
was not discovered Immediately and
in spite of the fact that the police
departments of St. Paul and Mime
apOlis and other cities were notified,
no trace of them could then be found.
1t now appears that they we're but
scantily supplied with money and
could get no farther away from home
than Sank Rapids. There Raschka
speedily demonstrated that he held his
inamorata in no higher regard than he
did his lawful wife and showed no
computations in abandoning her. 1t
is understood that Mrs. Velikanje has
correspOnded with her parents in this
city but the authorities have no
knowledge of her present whereabouts.
Albin Velikanje is in Minneapolis and
their two children are being cared for
by his relatives. A deplorable feature
of the case is that Mrs. Raschka and
her two children were left in very poor
circumstances.

Travelling in Pioneer Days.

Thirty years ago today M.
Mullen located in New Ulm and to a
Review reporter the local banker re-
lated his experiences while on his way
to the city. It made an interesting re-
as it forcibly illustrated
the difficulties of early -day travel. Mr..
Mullen came to New Ulm from ST.
Peter on March %, 1870, and at that
time the snow was three feet in depth
on the level Fearing a thaw hedecided
to move his effects while the roads
we're still passable and returned to
ST. Peter the same day. On the morn
ing of the 24th, with Mrs. Mullen, he
left in the stage for New Ulm. Editor
Ernst Brandt of the Fortschritt, was
also a passenger and their journey
took them along the beaten trail to
Fort Ridgely, where the heavy ''tOte'
or freight sleighs had packed the snow.
Early in the day the wind veered to
the south but they had no trouble until
CORTLAND had been left behind. They
descended into the bottoms about 4
O'Clock in the afternoon but by that
time the thaw had begun to affect the
roadbed and the horses were soon
foundering about in the deep snow.
They would slip and fall and it was
only by exerting themselves to the
utmost that Messrs. Mullen and Brandt
were able to keep the stage from
.capsizing. More than five hours were
consumed in coming less than four
miles but they were fortunate in being
able to make the passage at all, for
the following day the river was a mile
in width and there was no commune
cation with st. Peter.

AWAIT ALDERMANIC ACTION
Minnesota Central Officials Look.
ing to Council.
Aldermen Must Act Upon Petition
For Franchise.
Their Decision Will Affect Proposed
improvements.

Whether ornotthe Minnesota Central
Telephone company will make the
proposed improvements upon the New
Ulm exchange is now a matter which
depends entirely upon the city council.
It is being held in allegiance pending
the decision of the aldermen in regard
to the application of the Farmers
Mutual Telephone company for adj
mission to New Ulm and nothing further
will be done until definite action has
been taken. IF the franchise is denied
1t is understood that the company will
proceed without loss of time but if the
reverse is the case the expenditure is
not likely to be made.
Some time ago the Review published
an article treating of the plans of the
Minnesota Central, which provide for
the rebuilding ofthe New Ulm exchange.
To overcome the Insulation from the
municipal lighting plant the company
purposes installing a new system of
connecting Instruments with the centra al,
would string it's wires on higher poles,
use greater number of cables and
move its central office. The central
energy system.' which does away with
ringing up the operators, would be
inaugurated and all told the company
would spend between $4,000 and S12,-
900 in bringing the exchange to plane
where it would be on a level with any
in the state.
Arrangements for carrying out this
project had been completed before the
rival company petitiOned the council
for a franchise but when they did SO
the action altered the complexion of
things considerably. With no pros
pect Of competition before them the
Minnesota Central officials believed
the investment warrantable but it is
not likely that they would spend any
moremoney than necessary in town
where the entrance of a second compa-
ny will greatly depreciate the value of
the property they already own. They
doubtless feel that if they are forced
into a rate war the present exchange
will have to answer and thus the whole
matter goes up to the council.
c.. H. Dirks of this city. a large
stakeholder and one of the directors
of the Minnesota Central, has received
instructions to order the necessary
number of 50-foot poles through the
Fullerton Lumber company as soon as
the council DEGREES that the other con-
Germ cannot enter New Ulm. The Or
ders for cables and other Appearances,
which will be placed from the head
offices at Willmar, have also been
held up, but if favorable action is
taken by the aldermen the material
| will be rushed in here and s6slarge
crew of men put to work. sasssssss

First Thunder Storm.

The first thunder storm of the season
occurred Sunday night. Rain fell in
the early evening but later the atmos-
phere became few degrees colder and
the drizzle turned to snow, the total
precipitation amounting to % of an
inch. as shown by the government
guage at Andrew J. Eckstein S observa-
tory. Monday morning the sidewalks
about town were covered with a wet
slush and walking was rendered very
disagreeable. Persons who have driv-
ing to do regret the storm. as the
roads were drying nicely when it
occurred.

Fruit Trees Damaged.

Considerable damage to fruit trees
has resulted from the hard winter just
drawing to close. according to
Martin Penning of Home township.
Mr. Penning visited New Ulm Saturday
and to a Review reporter he stated
that many of his young apple and plum
trees, and in fact nearly all of his
young nursery stock, had been frozen
during the cold months. He cannot
tell the full extent of the damage as
yet, for all Of his trees may not be
dead, but in many instances the wood
has turned black and they areprobably
ruined. Mr.. Penning declares that the
past winter was the hardest for fruit
trees that he has ever seen.

HE OFFERS REAL ESTATE
Chas. Stuebe Devises Novel Bit of
Advertising.

Modern methods in advertising de-
mand something as unique and unus-
ual, and as far from the ordinary as
possible. To prove successful your
bid for business prominence musthave
all the essentials Of novelty and the
scheme be absolutely new. Such a
plan has been devised by Chas. Stue-
be, proprietor of the Model meat mar
ket, and it will be inaugurated next
Monday, March 18th. -
Mr.. Stuebe's idea might properly be
classed as an inspiration, for by ten
dering an inducement that is really
worth while he is appealing to the en-
tire buying public. His offer is that
he will present one of his patrons with
a valuable building lot in the northern
part of the city and, as everyone has
fOndness for possessing real estate.
there is no doubt but that it will strike
a popular chord.
The exact description of the proper
ty is Lot 5, of Block 1866, north of Cen
ter street. and it has a value of S35.
The contest which carries it as prize
will open Monday and close on June
LIST, when the successful one will be
presented with a warranty deed, duly
executed. A second prize of two cou-
pom books valued at S. each, and a
third prize of one coupon book, also
worth So, are made a part of the offer.
- To insure the utmost fairness, and
in order that small purchasers may
not be initiated against, Mr.. Stuebe
will issue one ticket with each lucent
purchase. He will also give tickets
upon that basis for all book accounts
contracted after March 18th and his
entire plan is such as to impel the
prediction that it will prove a great
trade-winner.
