GUARD Is ON WAR FOOTING
Minnesota Militia Stands Excellent
Inspection.
As Well Uniformed and Equipped
as Regular Army.
State to Receive $780, 900 From the
United States Government.

The Minnesota national guard for
the first time in its history is on a
footing with the regular United States
army. Adjt. Gen. E. D. Libbey has
received from the secretary of war at
Washington a statement that the
guard is sufficiently armed, uniformed
and equipped for active duty in the
field.
The communication, which came
from John Fl. Guilfoyle, assistant ad-
jutant general, is as follows:
II have the honor to inform you
that as result of the recent inspec-
ton of the organized militia of the
State of Minnesota for the year 1904
decides that it is sufficiently armed,
uniformed and equipped for active
duty in the field, and therefore emit
tied to the benefit of section IA of the
act approved Jan. q, 1908.
The guard has expended approx
mately 100000 and two years labor to
qualify under the Dick law, referred
to in the communication from Wash
ington, and the officers and members
are very much pleased with the an
nouncement from the secretary of war
The secretary of war bases his con-
illusions on the recent inspection by
Maj. William Gerlach, q. S. A., re-
tired. Maj. Gerlach, after making a
rigorous inspection of the guard, in
Guiding the arms, equipment, condi-
ton of the buildings and training, be-
havior and appearance of the soldiers,
reported that every company in every
organization was above grade.
The Dick bill appropriatedS 50, 900, 900
annually for the support of the state
militia, and Minnesota's share is
about $4,000. The sum is paid in
supplies and equipment on condition
that the state guard meets the require
ments as to arms, uniforms and equip
ment.
''The officers of the national guard
are naturally very much pleased over
the announcement from Washington
that we are now on the same footing
as the regular army said Adjt. Gen.
Libbey. ''The guard has expended
about S6O,O0 for supplies and equip
ment and has worked two years to
qualify under the new law

TO MEET HERE NEXT YEAR
EpWorth League Convention Will Be
Held in New Ulm.

1t was a fine body of enthusiastic
workers of the German Methodist
church that assembled in Arlington
the fore part of last week. The con-
vention convened Monday evening,
being composed of delegates represent
ing the three different departments of
church work: the ministry, Ewworth
League, and the Sunday school.
Tuesday was occupied by the minis
tiers of the South Minnesota district.
Five papers were read, covering vari
Gus phases of church work, the duties
and efficiency of the ministry in the
upbuilding of the spiritual life of the
congregation. Each paper was follow
ed by thorough discussion of the
subject in hand. Rev. G. 81. Sauter
read paper on ministerial support,
according to l Corinthians 8, tbs.
Wednesday was devoted to the dis
cussion of various subjects relating to
the work Of young people in church
and society and questions of personal
equipment of Epworth League mem
bers for the different departments Of
their work. G. H. Dirks of this city,
gave a carefully prepared paper on:
"Missionary Activities of the Epworth
League
Thursday, the Sunday School was
the order of the day. Discussions on
it's main and essential features, of
means and methods of making it a
more potent factor in the development
of the best qualities of character in
the young, were highly interesting and
instructive. Mrs. Jeanette Sauter
presented very instructive paper on
the value and methods of teacher S
meetings of Sunday schools.
The spirit of the convention was in
strict keeping with the work in hand
decidedly Christian, all being deeply
sensitive of the grave responsibilities
depending upon them for solution.
One desire seemed uppermost in the
minds Of all: to acquit themselves
worthily in unselfish devotion and en-
beaverton the accomplishment of better
conditions for the sound development
of the Christian and moral life of SO
ciety, in particular of young people.
Representatives of the local church
to the convention were G. Fl. Dirks
Henry Durbahn, VIM. Durbahn, DR.
G. f. Reineke, Mrs. Jeanette Sauter
and Rev, c.. H. Sauter.
An Epworth League convention o
! the entire Northern German Confer
ence, including Minnesota and Nortl
Dakota, will be held about this tim
j next year in New Ulm.

the management has spared neither
pains or expense.
Through our Chicago representative
we have arranged for the announce
ment of the Lion COTE Contest, which
appears elsewhere in this issue, in
which details are given of how $50, 900
will be awarded to the public, and
those readers of the Review that dis
play the necessary amount of pains,
patience, research, and skill may be
made rich men and women.
The Lion Coffee people will give the
readers of the Review and the public
one or more votes in their contest, on
mailing to them five lion heads taken
from the Lion Coffee packages and a
2 cent stamp for each vote. There are
two contests being based on the
attendance July next at the Worlds
Fair, st. Louis, in which $4,000 is to
be awarded; the second contest is based
on the popular vote for President (all
candidates combined) to be cast on
Nov. s next. On this contest $4,000
will be awarded, and, in addition to
this, a capital prize of $4,000 will be
given to the one who is nearest cor
rect on both contests. This makes
s45, 900, the other $4,000 being reserved
for the grocers' clerks that sell most
Lion Coffee.
Some of this money has got to come
into New Ulm. In the 4,279 cash priz-
es to be awarded there are 5000,
So, 500, $1,000, and $500 prizes and the
Review would like to feel that it had
been the cause of some one getting
this money.

Stone Siding Assured.

Officials of the New Ulm stone com
pany are practically certain that the
Chicago & Northwestern railway will
grant their petition for a siding into
the Redstone quarries. The PROPOSE
ton has been approved by all of the
division officials and is now being
considered in the main Office at Chica-
go. Gustave Widell, vice president
of the local company, was in Chicago
last week and made a personal re-
quest, which will probably be of some
weight. When the petition is granted,
as it should be very soon, the railway
will survey the siding and
the home company will do the grading.

big amusement concessions will turn
out all their attractions, and the scene
will be one of extra ordinary brillian-
Jcy. Practically every human costume
will be represented in the parade, from
the swell dress of the American and
European to the simple gee-string of
the head-hunting Igorrote savage.
Beautiful girls from many climes
will be in line. Among them may be
mentioned the geisha girls of Fair
Japan, the dainty maidens of the Chi
nese Village, the singing beauties of
old Ireland, the dancing girls of Cal
70, Constantinople, Morocco, Seville,
Paris and other gay countries and
capitals. The Tyrolean beauties will
be there, with the gallant yoalers OF
their clan. The lady acrobats will
take part, and the Filipino, Indian,
Eskimo, Ainu and other women will
add to the gaiety and the variety.
All sorts and conditions of men will
be in the parade, including some of
the most famous Indian chiefs. There
will be miles Of floats, soldiers, In
dians, horseback riders and animal
cages. Grotesque conceptions will not
be missing. The concessionaires have
been diligent in preparing to make the
best showing possible, and they say
that the parade on Pike Day will SO
far surpass that of the opening day
of the Fair that it will be altogether a
new spectacle.

Wolf Hunt in Prospect.

About a dozen hunters from this
city will go to Swan Lake next Sun
day with a view to exterminating a
pack of wolves which have been seen
in that vicinity. Anton Fleck, who
rents the Crone farm, was in town last
week and reported the presence of the
wolves. He came across the animals
in the woods near the lake and says
they were large timber wolves. When
he approached they seemed ugly and
showed fight and as he was unarmed
he did not attack them. Mr.. Flick
will act as guide next Sunday and will
endeavor to lead the New Ulm nimrods
to the lair of the beasts.
