The Versatile Mind of

New York, Oct. Although by no

The bank burglar, during the period
when he hourished most abundantly
and successfully was undoubtedly one

Some Of the stories of bank rob-

by newspaper readers Of hardly more
than two decades ago read like fiction
Of the most sensational characters.
They are, however, actual criminal
history and afford many picturesque
examples Of the fact that truth Is
sometimes stranger than fiction. Take,
for example the tale Of the man who
opened barber shop. which runs In
this wise:
A stranger in town once appeared be-
fore the cashier OF an Eastern bank
and announced his intention Of OPEN
ing a barber shop. He had noticed that
the institution had couple OF rooms

TO hire them, using one as a shop and

New York. Oct. Though many of
the New York papers have united in
the statement that the coming return
to this country for the winter of ]. p
Morgan, Jr., does not mean the near
retirement from active life of j. P.
Morgan, Sr., there is little doubt that
the greet organizer and combiner is
beginning to feel the weight of years.
Indeed, one of the papers most stren-
uous in its denial of anything like the
impending retirement of the old man
declares that he has long been gradu-
ally shifting details to the younger
mans shoulders.
Those who are acquainted with
Jack" Morgan know him as a man
of probably as fine a physical makeup
as his father before him. And nobody
is prepared to say that the youngster
will be unable to carry the load of the
Morgan banking business whenever the
emergency arises.
He has been at the head of the Lon
don house for some years, and though
on the one hand the world has yet to
learn that he has done any great
thing, on the other il has yet to hear

mitted by him. II is something for a
comparatively young man like Jack"
Morgan to carry off the routine of so
big an establishment as the foreign
branch of the Morgan house in the
worlds biggest city.
The younger Morgan went to Lon
don to stay in 1898, I think, and there
were plenty of people who expressed
surprise that some older man in the
employ of the Morgan house had not
been chosen to fill the delicate and inn
portsnt London job.
Down to that time Jack" Morgan
had been known chiefly as a devotee
of certain outdoor sports. AS a knock

welded no mean club as a golfer,

REVIVE 0LD-TIME MEMORIES
Junior Pioneers Will Celebrate
Founding of City.
Few Remain of Those Who Wer,
Pioneer Settlers.
Gathering Will Recall Dark Days
and Severe Hardships.

On Wednesday evening of last week
meeting of a few of the early settlers
of this city was held at Turner hall
and there it was decided to organize
and arrange to celebrate the semi-cen-
tenni al of the founding of this city,
and committee was appointed to
look after the details. This committee
is composed of Albert Steinhauser,
Chas. Hauenstein, A. J. Ochs, W. J..
Julius, Ferdinand Crone, B. j. Juni,
Fred Pfaender and w. G. Alvin.
New Ulm has history unlike that
of any other city in the state; it's
founders were in a measure what are
today termed socialists, from Chicago,
and the object of the settlement was to
get away from the restrictions of the
narrow views which prevailed at that
time in Chicago. This idea had it's
perfection in the Chicago Land Asso-
citation which was formed in August,
1853 and originally consisted of six
members.
Through the efforts of this society
the settlement of New Ulm was effected.
The idea of forming the association
or colony originated with Fred Bein-
horn in Germany, who came to Amer
lea to put under headway this object.
The project met with many obstacles
and discouragements filled his path.
However, he persisted and impaired
his plans to five companions and they
agreed to render him what assistance

why Change?

In this last issue of the Review be-
fore the primary elections are held, we
want to ask the republican voters to
consider for whom they cast their bal
lots for nomination to the Office of con-
gresham.
In the first place, have. you anything
tangible that is wrong to charge to Mr..
Nc Cleary?
In the second, if you do feel that he
does not exactly express your views
on some minor points, will you better
yourselves by making a change, as
long as that change is sure to be in
the same party?
Is it not better to have a man from
this district whom you have paid good
hard money to educate so he can be OF
service to you by reason of his infu-
ence?
It takes a man several years to get
so he can manipulate things at Wash
ington to the benefit of his constitu-
ency and Mr.. McCleary has arrived at
that point.
There is a petition from this city in
his hands at present to be placed be-
fore congress, granting this city a
government building; he has promised
to do all he can to get it through.
Hehas given this county rural routes
wherever they have asked for them,
and has secured like service for the
people of his district where the new
congressman in other districts have
failed
You may feel that the views of his
opponent, take on certain questions,
are more to your liking than his are,
but what are the views of one man,
and he with no more experience than
the editor of the Rock County Herald.
You have samples of the influence OF
editors in this city; take that of the
editor of the Journal, for instance.
Without exception Mr.. McCleary is
the most influential man in congress
from this state, it not from the north
west and deserves a large vote as a
compliment from the people of this
county.
He has not done much in the way OF
campaigning here because he has felt
that this is the home of his friends, and
it should be. He has a deeper interest
in the welfare of this county than in
some others perhaps, because it is so
near his home city, and the fact that
some editors who were not able to land
the postofice in their respective cities
are doing all they can to defeat him,
should give his friends the opportunity
they are seeking to rebuke these sore
heads.

they could. Money was scarce and it
at one timed seemed as though the
scheme would die in it's infancy.
A society was at length organized,
and there were eighteen members at
the first meeting but by Nov. 1st fol-
lowing the society numbered sixty and
each was required to pay into the
treasury the sum of ten cents per
month to establish a fund necessary
to meet expenses.
Three hundred dollars we're raised
at ball given in the old Chicago
Market street theatre. After this mem
| bers were added daily and an agent
was appointed to look up location.
The first attempt was made in the up
per peninsula of Michigan. Other
places were looked over, especially in
Iowa, but all were unsatisfactory.
Finally two were sent to Minnesota
territory and reported good land near
Swan lake. An expedition of twenty
J men was forwarded to make a settle
ment at Swan lake, but not being suit
ed they went to Traverse des Sioux
| where some remained while others
| went to the trading post of Joseph La
Fran1bois, who told this party of the
location where the Cottonwood flows
into the Minnesota and this informa-
J tion caused to spring into existence
the city of New Ulm.
Finding a deserted Indian village
near this place they moved in and af-
| terWards built log house which was
soon after destroyed by fire and they
were compelled to return to the tepees.
The real founding Of the city began in
1855, the spring following, when re-
| inforements to the number of twenty
arrived bringing with them survey
or,who laidsout the present city calling
it New Ulm from the fact that many OF
| the citizens came from Wuertenberg
the honor of the christening falling to
/ Jacob Haeberle. Previous to this the
i only house built was that of Louis
Schilling.
During 1855 there were twenty three
houses erected and as near as can be
ascertained, the following people were
here: r. Beinhorn, Albert Behnke,
Fred Behnke, Henry Myerding, Louis
Schilling, Henry Behnke, Louis Meyer
John F'enske, Jacob Pfenninger, John
Stamm, Frank Massapust, Wm. Theile
August Hellmann, John Resoft, JOS.

Athanasius Henle, VIM. Winkleman,
Albert Tuttle, FL. C. Mueller, Fred
i Roebeck, Chas. Sommer, Anton Klaus,

the Haeberle brothers, Chris. Vaeh-
ringer, August Kiesling, Conrad Zit-
tel, Jacob Brust, John Meier, John
Sturm, Anton Adam, Ernst Deidrich,
Edward Krammer, and Fred Fritsche.
This in brief is the history of the

on the 8th of October.

Does He Need Sympathy?

In recent paper that came to this
Office we notice the following, "Do not
give all your sympathy to the over
worked mother, save some of it for
the father"
It is SO seldom that sentiment of this
kind is heard that it is worth while
considering. 1t is taken for granted
that man was created to be the wage
Garner of the home and that his being
tired and overworked is a matter of
course.
Doesn't father need a rest as we'll as
mother?
Isn't his work as hard or harder
than hers.
We refer particularly to manual
labor, where the body is exhausted at
the end of a long days work. Too
often the man comes home day after
day; Lays the bills that are presented
to him, and wears his life out without
word from the lips Of those he loves
and who should love him, and pro-
badly do, though they fail to show it
at the time.
He works from morning to night; he
gets poor in health; the doctor tells
him to quit work but he has his family
to support and he tolls on to the end
and then flowers are placed on his
casket: tears are shed and the words
that should have made his burden
lighter while he was living are said
over his cold and unresponsive clay.
We all love father as we'll as we do
mother, but affection finds it's ex-
preston in endearing terms and con
cern for her comfort and happiness
and the father learns to feel that this
is right; but it isn't.
We pass but once along the road of
life and at its end the frequent op-
portunities we possess of observing
the thousand acts of kindness and
amiability that should mark the daily
tenor Of his way, are gone.
1t is as easy to scatter smiles and
sunshine along the path of father as
it is to strew the roses of love about
the feet Of mother. He will appreciate;
try it.

What a catch-penny statement the

They know and every voter knows that
Mr.. Miller cannot remove the tariff on
lumber, nor can Mr.. McCleary add to
it. Men who have investigated the
matter say that the price of lumber is
higher in Canada thanit is here. We
are told by one elevator company that
for their entire line of elevators they
bought the lumber in this country be-
cause it was cheaper than the Canadi-

views, and is hazzarding his chances

What capital the Journal can make
out of the two McCleary articles taken
from the Review, it is hard to see. We
do not deny that we differ from Mr..
McCleary on some of his views. The
Review differed with the majority of
/ the Republicans of the state on the
choice of men for governor, it differs
with the president on some of his
views on public questions, but that
ism t saying that we hold that we know
more than any of these. Men may
differ in opinions and still be friends.
There is always an Interior motive
| where a difference of opinion makes
a man an enemy We hold that Mr..
McCleary can do this district more
good than a new man. His very inde-
pendence indicates that. He is not the
man who must consult someone before
he says something; he leads. He is
! only one of the millions who make up
the republican party and if he is able
to swing those millions to his way of
thinking, then he must be right. if he
can't, then he is man enough to alter
his views. We cannot all be as smart
as the editor of the Journal. We are
not fighting Mr.. Dunn, because we
differed with the majority that nomi-
mated him; we are not opposing the
election of Roosevelt, because we
differ on some of his points, and we
are not opposing McCleary because he
does not take up with our views on all
questions. We have faith in McCleary
to believe that his greater knowledge
of public affairs than ours or even
that of the editor of the Journal, will
lead him to do what is best for the
people he represents.
