Mrs. William Schmidt, daughter-in

! ooopPou Oh III New Oln sunday ana
Monday on her way from her home in
Watertown, S. D., to visit in her
former home in Portage, Wis.
The memorial addresses delivered at
the Charles 3. Flandrau memorial
services in St. Paul last November
have been published in book form and
copies of them have been received by
interested parties in New Ulm. Among
those who spoke on that occasion was
Joseph A. Eckstein of this city.
By order of the court the custody of
his son Freddie was given to Frank
w. Briggs last week and Friday that
gentleman was down from ST. Paul
and secured his child from the mother,
now Mrs. w. P. Close of New Ulm.
The case is rather noted one as the
child has been the subject of litigation
for number of years.
The work of the r. L. Polk company
representatives who are making an
atlas of Brown county will be COM
pleted in about month as near as can
be estimated. They have now finished
up the work in every township but five,
and the writing of the history of the
county remains to be done. Thomas
p. Hill arrived from St. Paul Friday
to take charge of the historical part
of the work.
Ten cans of croppies and black bass
were received Thursday at Sleepy Eye
from the state fish hatchery and were
taken to the Cottonwood and placed in
theriver. Theywere obtained through
the efforts of Senator Somerville, who
has had a lot of these same kind of
fish placed in the river every year for
the past six seasons.
Editor Haenze of the Hanska Herald
spent part of Wednesday in New
Ulm and made a pleasant call at the
Review Office. Mr.. Haenze was on his
way home from the Twin cities where
he had been making purchases in type
and printing supplies. He is thinking
of putting in a new job press and will
greatly improve the paper and the
quality of work turned out.
st. Peter would have the Seventh
battalion of artillery stop in that city
on the march back to Fort Smelling,
and am invitation was extended to
Major Allen Wednesday by Attorney
GeorgeT. Olsen, representing the Com
mercial club of that city. Accom-
panying the attorney was Q. j. Duane,
editor of the ST. Peter Herald. Major
Allen would give no definite promise.
B. r. Weber, Jr., left Friday to
take up the practice of law in Franklin,
Renville county, a location which he
has had in mind for some time. He
was in tho Twin cities a week or more
ago making purchases in books and
furniture and he has already rented an
office. Mr.. Weber believes that in
Franklin he has found an excellent
opening as there is no other attorney
there at present. His New Ulm friends
extend all kinds of good wishes.
Lost for several years but found
recently is a letter from Judge Charles
b. Flandrau which Captain S. A.
George has in his possession. Natural
ly he prizes it very highly. It was
written to Captain George shortly
after the massacre at New Ulm and
expresses the gratitude which the
general feels towards his subordinate
for the valiant service done by him in
the fight with the Indians. The letter
is hearty and full of good cheer. The
postmark on it is October 9, 1862.
AntonP reisinger, a Lafayettefa farmer,
was arrested last Wednesday for
drunkenness and disorderly conduct
and pleaded guilty to the offense be-
| fore Justice Brandt. He was fined SIS
| and costs amounting to S6.35. This
is a case where the costs are more
| than the fine and is because the officers
and jail costs are added. Justice fees
were So. 40, officers fees So. As and jail
fees 1.50.
Friends of Mrs. Francis Baasen
have been treated to rare treat the
| past week in the shape of some jelly
sent to her by her son Frank, from the
| PHILIPPINES. It is a peculiar hard, red
composition that has a very pleasant
taste. Among the other numerous
things that he sent we're several boxes
of cigars for the benefit of Pat Nc.
Hale, who has difficulty in keeping
them to himself.
Eight old settlers appeared before
the pension board which met in Sleepy
Eye last Wednesday and we're examin
ed with view of having their pensions
increased. Among them were: Johr
Arhart and Chas. Bianchi of New
Ulm; Vim. Berkner of Sleepy Eye
