Crossed Burning Sands.

1t was an exceedingly lively goat
that the Princes of the Orient brought
down from Fairfax Saturday evening.
In fact, the beast was limited to spe-
cial per-and-ginger diet on purpose
for the New Ulm invasion and he did
all that was expected Of him and more.
Headed by Brother A. M. Wallace of
the Fairfax Standard, the visitors, to
the number of $780, came to New Ulm
on special train. They brought their
officers, band and a degree team and
upon their arrival at O'Clock pro-
ceeded at once to the Turner Hall gym
nSsium, where the animal mentioned
performed a series of amazing stunts.
He fearlessly leaped a yawning chasm
with class Of twenty New Ulmites
Balanced on his horns and went
through other evOlutions which gave
the candidates full value for their
money. After the Initiation the Primo
aas partook of an excellent supper
served by the ladies of the Turnverein
and the Fairfax men returned home
Sunday morning.

a brief for the county in the Griffith &
Smith tax case and charged the county
IS cents per page for the work. The
work was Identical in character with
that involved in the Gasink case, but
the job was insignificant in size COM
pared to the Gasink job.
In this instance, the city council
cannot be censured, for its members
cannot be conversant with the prices
and technicalities of the printing trade
but the Review feels that the city at
torney lays himself open to criticism
in the matter. He is a lawyer by pro-
fession, and has occasion to have
much of this work done, and certainly
knows what is fair price for the
work. It doesn't appear to the Re
view that it would take lawyer even
to recognize the exhorbitant charge in
this matter.
This is only one instance showing
Liesch's interest in the campaign and
it is not surprising that he feels some
concern over the result of next Tues
days election.

Do You WANT STRENGTH?

If you want to increase your strength
you must add to and not take from the
physical. In other words, the food that
you eat must be digested, assimilated
and appropriated by the nerves, blood
and tissues before being expelled from
the intestines. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
adds to the physical. It gives strength
80 and builds up strength in the human
system. 1t is pleasant to the taste and
palatable, and the only combination
of digestants that will digest the food
and enable the system to appropriate
all of it's health and strengthening
qualities. Sold by Eugene A. Pfetferle.

HE FAVORS GANG RULE
Philip Liesch Would Preserve His
Printing Monopoly.
He Favors Returning Present City
Officers to Power.
Boodling Tactics That Have Been
Employed in the Past.

We are not greatly surprised that
Philip Liesch desires the present city
administration retained in power. We
understand that he has CONSIDERABLY
allowed one of the Independent" can
didates, Mr.. Schilling, to establish
headquarters in the Journal Office.
Mr.. Liesch has evidently forgotten his
crusade of few years ago against
fixtures in office. The public however
will not so readily forget the bel
ligerent campaign that he conducted
against Captain George few years
ago on the same issue.
Reasons for the Journal mans &C.
tivity are not hard to discover. He is
interested, deeply so, for during the
time the present city officers have been
in control, he has profted greatly by
their policy. He has been ever ready
to shield and exonerate, and they have
rewarded faithful service. City jobs
came to him for the asking, at almost
his own prices, and he does not want
dimuintion in the source of supply.
AS an example, the inside history of
a transaction in connection with the
case of Louisa Gasink against the City
! of New Ulm is interesting. When a
jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff,
the city council, upon the recon-
mendation of City Attorney Eckstein,
directed that official to appeal the case
to the supreme court. This was per-
fectly right and proper, if the alder
men deemed that course best. This
appeal involved an expense of several
hundred dollars for printing the paper
all to be paid for out of city funds.
Without asking any of the other local
papers for bids upon this work, the
work was taken to she Journal Office
and it's proprietor, Mr.. Liesch, printed
the city's brief of SIS pages. The legal
charge for work of this character is
81 per page. This Office and we venture
to say every Office in this city has re-
peatedly done this work at IS cents
per page, and we're glad to get it at
that price; and in instances we have
done this work as low as 60 cents per
page. Considering the magnitude OF
the job, we should have been glad to
have taken the work in the Gasink
case at 80 cents per page. Mr.. Liesch
however knew that he had a good thing
and rendered bill to the city of S67. &c
for printing the brief which was allow
ed andpaid. 1t will be observed thatthe
charge for printing the brief is S1.22
per page and that the price charged is
p cents per page higher than lega:
rates, and double the price at which
other offices would have done the
work. This office recently turned GU

TRIUMVIRATE AT WORK
Coalition Formed to Defeat Elect.
ion of Bobleter.
Eckstein, Schilling and p. Liesch
Have United Forces.
They Are Centering Fight Upon
City Clerkship.

With Charles Silverson assured of
election those persons who do not
wish him elected mayor but are too
polite to take the field in open oppo-
sitlon, have put aside whatever ideas
they may have entertained as to ac-
complishing his downfall, and are di-
recting their attack upon another
point. Since the caucus a new COM
bine has been formed, for Louis Schil-
ling, through his adherents, has en-
enlisted the aid of Jos. A. Eckstein
and the latter has whipped his right
bower, P. Liesch, into line. With the
skeleton of a defeat staring them in the
face this combine will concentrate it's
efforts toward the political destruction
of Ed. J. Bobleter.
Whether they shall succeed or not
is a question which the voters will
answer in an emphatic way next Tues
day and the Review firmly believes
that the reply will be favorable to Mr..
Bobleter. At present the ''big three"
are working desperately and it will be
strange, indeed, if some of the argu-
ments and subterfuges they are using
do not act as boomerangs and re-
bound to their own cost and injury.
They cannot put forward single
soupd argument that does not apply
to Mr.. Bobleter equally as we'll as to
their own candidate and misrepresen-
tations which may be worked up will
help them but very little with the
voters ~.
When Mr.. Bob1eter was endorsed
by more than two votes to one at the
non-partisan caucus it was not by any
means an accident, but clearly estab-
lished the fact that majority of the
people favor a change in the clerk
ship. This paper finds that the pre-
vailing opinion is that the present in
cumbent has been long enough in Of
flee and that it is time for him to give
way to another. The people favor the
election of a younger man and are
confident of Mr.. Bobleter's ability to
conduct the affairs of the office to
which he aspires.
On this latter score there can be no
question raised, for the non-partisan
candidate is a graduate of St. Johns
university, near St. Cloud, and has
i held clerical positions since leaving
college. Mr.. Bobleter is a young
man who was born and reared in New
Ulm and a disposition is being evince6
to give him every possible assistance
1t is significant fact that his candi
dacy is proving popular in all quar-
tiers and this augurs we'll for his sue
cess at the polls next Tuesday.
Thus far it cannot be charged
against him that he has conducted
other than a legitimate campaign bu
it must be stated that the opposition
has made use of things that nigh
better have been omitted. This disa
, greeable feature of the campaign, il
the opinion Of the Review, should no
be attributed to Louis Schilling, 70
: it is probably done without his cog
: nizance. He has simply made a col
? lossal mistake in his choice of allie
J and they have seriously injured wha
: ever chances of election remained t.
: him.

SEPARATED SIXTY YEARS
Otto Peterson Remarked to Bride of
His Youth.

In It's issue of Saturday morning the
St. Paul Globe published a story which
is of interest locally, as it tells Of an
unusual marriage contracted by Otto
PETERSON, former resident of this
city. Peterson, who is an aged veteran
of the civil war, at one time made his
home on South Minnesota street and
was city marshal of New Ulm. OF late
he has been an inmate of the soldiers
home. The Globe says:
Otto Peterson, ninety-four years of
age, and for some time past an inmate
of the Soldiers home, was yesterd ay
welded to his former wife after long
separation.
The couple were first married over
sixty years ago and lived happily in
New Ulm for many years but an I'M
forum ate quarrel led to a separation.
A few days ago the old soldier got
fit of the blues and, man like, want
ed the solace of a woman's sympathy.
His first thought being of his old, old
sweetheart, he sought her out and ask
ed her how she was getting along.
Though bent with the weight of sew
enty-eight years the dear girl smiled
sweetly and said she was lonesome
enough to die.'' :.......
, Otto took his cue Immediately, and
after brief conversation they con-
cluded to finish life's battle together.

Question of Merger.

Whether there will be a merging of tie
two organizations of building trades could
not be learned but the reorganization com
mittee of the Council of Allied Building
Trades held meeting last night and will
make report to the next session of the
council.
An incident connected with the formation
OF the Structural Building Trades Alliance
was related by the carpenters at their
meeting place on z street today.
1t was stated that yesterday the superin-
tendent In charge Of the erection of a hos
pital building sent to headquarters for car
penters to go to work on the building.
TIE required number OF men were sent
TO the contractor. who Informed the carpen-
ters mat each of them would be required
to provide himself with an iron inter box
AS these boxes cost $23 apiece, Il is said,
the spokesman of the carpenters informed
the superintendent that If going to work
was conditional upon their buying tho inter
boxes they would decline to do So
Il would rather buy coal with my SOB"
the spokesman is reported to have said
than to invest 1t in an iron inter box
when l already have wooden one es-
pecially as the prospects here are that we
will only have two or three weeks work
on this building
The superintendent was obdurate. Il is
stated. and the carpenters, equally obdur-
ate, declined TO go to work.
