Wheat Here as Good as Best.

Register of Deeds w. G. Miller re-
turned Thursday from an extended
trip through the Dakotas, having spent
ten days at Cakes, Nd, and Gwinner,
N. D. He reports that the farmers
near the former place will harvest a
heavy crop of wheat but the appear
ance of the grain south of that place,
in the vicinity of Aberdeen, is not
promising. Wheat in Brown County
is in every way superior to that in the
western part of this state and Eastern
South Dakota and Mr.. Miller says
that in quality it will rank with the
best. He found oats looking fine
everywhere and says that corn in the
Jim river valley is far ahead of the
Southern Minnesota product, the stand
being better and the crop more adj
vanced.

APPLICATIONS IN ABUNDANCE.
Minnesota Mutual May NowSecure
License.
Has More Than the S75O,OOO Re-
CURED by Law.
Local Insurance Company Eco
nomical From Outset.

Applications for $750,000 in insur-
ance, as required by the state law, are
on file in the Office of the Minnesota
Mutual Fire Insurance company of
New Ulm, and there is now nothing to
prevent the issuance of a license
This fact was reported to the board of
directors of the company at meeting
Saturday evening and that body in
structed Secretary Fl. N. Somsen to
draft the articles of incorporation and
file them with State Insurance Com
missioner b. FL. Dearth without delay
Mr.. Somsen will go to st. Paul for
that purpose today or tomorrow and
within fortnight, or three weeks at
the outside, the local institution will
! be issuing its own policies.
-Four months have elapsed since the
company was formed. TWAS organized
at a meeting of the stockholders held
on March lst and during the short
period since that time the immense
amount of work incident to securing
the stipulated number Of applications
has been successfully accomplished.
Saturday evening the secretary was
able to report that the preliminaries
had all been attended to and that
property owners in various parts of
the state had applied for insurance
amounting to S767 200. Very valuable
assistance was given the local men by
the other mutual fire companies, a
circumstance which shows the harmon
existing, but the major portion was
secured through the tireless efforts of
the field staff. Representative of the
company worked to splendid advan-
tage and the board of directors singled
out three of the men, G.. W. Barnes,
A. P. Brooks and J. E. Bobleter, as
entitled to a special vote of thanks.
Probably the most important feature
of Secretary Somsen's report was
when he informed the directors that
the total cost of obtaining the prelimi-
nary business was only S735. What
these figures mean can be appreciated
when it is stated that the experience of
other companies has been that So, 800
or $4,000 was necessary to get the
original s750,000. The Minnesota
Mutual appropriated $4,000 for this
purpose and it will be seen that the
initial saving is one of no mean pro-
portions. It is a good omen, and
indicates that careful management has
been present. After the company is
fully organized it is purposedto con-
tinue this economical policy and the
ratio Of expense will be kept down to
the minimum.
Everything considered, the showing
made thus far is one calculated to
Inspire confidence to the greatest

RANGE FOR FIELD ARTILLERY
Regular ArtiIlerymen Want Place
to Practice.
Two Batteries May Go Into Camp
Near Here.
Gen. Bobleter and Major Vogel
Inspect Country.

It is possible that two batteries of
field artillery will come to New Ulm
during the latter part of September to
engage in target practice. The regular
army artillerymen want range badly
and Brigadier General Joseph Bob
Letter and Major Louis G. Vogel of
this city, have agreed to find a stretch
of land that will answer the purpose.
In this they believe they have succeed
ed, and tomorrow will submit the
ranges they have in view to the in
spection of Capt. Thos. RidgWay of
the United States army.
The idea of bringing the big guns to
New Ulm first originated while General
Bobleter and Major Vogel were at
Lake City reviewing the Firstregiment.
Capt. Ridgway and his men, who are
stationed at Fort Smelling, were also
in camp and in a conversation with
Major Vogel the regular army officer
spoke of the difficulty of finding a
range where his men could learn to
become proficient in the use of their
pieces. He deplored the fact that Fort
Smelling offered no facilities of this
kind and eventually the New Ulm man
promised to locate a range for him.
When this suggestion was made Capt.
Ridgway took to the idea at once and
said that he might accept theinvitation.
Last week Major Vogel received a
letter from him asking when it would
be convenient to visit the ranges and
on Sunday Gen. Bobleter and Major
Vogel drove out into the country to
locate prospective sites. This was
found to be a task of even greater
proportions than was anticipated. In
the first place the United States army
regulations require that the range
must be quite two miles in length. To
enable the gunners to see the targets
| it must be without distractions and as
shrapnel is used it is obvious that a
tract cannot be chosen where public
roads or highways cross the line of
| fire.
Finding plot of ground of a suit
able nature was by no means easy but
after driving up and down both sides
of the river the local men selected one
site in Milford and another in Cotton
wood. Monday Major Vogel wrote a
reply to Capt. Ridgway and the latter
is expected tomorrow to go over the
ground.
Should he decide to come here it will
mean that two batteries of six guns
each will go into camp for period Of
two weeks or more, the army regu-
| lations allowing commands to go $50
miles from their home stations for the
| big gun practice. There are about
| 800 men and $50 horses in the batteries
and although rations will be carried
for the former it would be necessary
to buy proyender for the animals.

degree. Owing to the increasing
popularity of this class of insurance
the work was done very expediently
and it would seem that the officials
kept a careful watch Of expenditures.
All of this augurs we'll for the future
and it is not unreasonable to expect
that the Minnesota Mutual will take
its place among the leading companies
of its kind within very short time.
An important thing in it's favor is
that merchants and owners ofbuildings
are rapidly acquiring the mutual
habit Only a comparatively few
years ago a mutual fire policy was
regarded as a proposition to be
Stunned religiously, but this narrow
view is disappearing. A dozen mutual
companies in Minnesota have demon
strated that conservative methods and
management will bring success and
the people who own the property are
beginning to realize that the profit

the payment outright of heavy
premiums to foreign and outside
corporations. Experience has shown
that the mutual companies, with their
widely-scattered risks, do not stand in
such danger as the old-line concerns,
constantly exposed to CONGREGATIONS
of the Baltimore sort, and for these
reasons it should quickly appeal to
the average property owner. AS a
guarantee of protection it is not ex-
celled and students of this problem
assert that it is only a question of
time until the mutual plan is uni
versally adopted.
When the Minnesota Mutual shall
have received its license from Com
missioner Dearth its offices in the
Stricken block will be opened and a
force of agents sent on the road to
solicit business. It's operations will
really date from that time and the
Review looks to it to duplicate and
even surpass the achievements already
made.

WILL. GO TO NORTHFIELD
Mrs. c. F. Moxery Intends TO Leave
New Ulm.

About September 1st Mrs. G.. F.
Mowery will take her departure from
New Ulm and move to Mortified,
where her three sons and her daughter
are to attend Carlton college. Dwight
f. Mowery, the eldest son, has chosen
the calling of his late father and is
now preaching at Mohall, N. D., sig
nalizing his first summers work by
building a Congregational church, the
corner stone of which is almost ready
to be laid. He returns to Carleton in
the fall and upon completing his course
next spring will enter theological
seminary. Miss May Mowery, the
only daughter, also completes her
work at Mortified next spring, while
Clarence W. and L. Eldred Mowery
are to enter Carleton upon the open
ing Of the term. Their mother desires
to live with her children and has de-
termined to change her place of resi-
dence to Mortified.
For more than twenty years Mrs.
Mowery has been a faithful and devot-
ed member of the First Congregational
church and she is closely identified
with its history. EARLY in the summer
of 1881 the ngregational Home Mis-
sionary society sent to New Ulm a
theological student, Rev. G.. b. AL
brecht, now a missionary at Nogata,
Japan. He organized Sunday school
and meetings were held in the old
Methodist church. When that struc-
ture was destroyed by the cyclone Of
that year the meetings were transferred
to the rooms over the Brown County
bank.
In the fall Rev. Albrecht returned
to his studies and the following spring
of 1882 Rev. Christian Mowery and
his wife came to New Ulm. Through
his instrumentality the Congregational
Church Building society purchased the
site occupied by the present church,
while the pastor inaugurated build
ing fund and laid the foundation that
year. In 1888 the edifice was complet-
ed at a cost of 81 400 and on Dec. 18th,
1883, dedicatory exercises were held.
March 10, 1884, Rev. Mowery was or
dained by council and the church
formally organized with eight mem
bers. His passionate continued until
Oct. 1, 1887, when he passed away in
this city.
At his death it was expected that his
successor would continue the German
services which were conducted during
the preceding year but this was found
impracticable, circumstance which
gave rise to the building of the Evan
gelical church. Rev. Mowery was a
most faithful pastor, an able preacher
and a successful minister, and was
greatly beloved and respected by his
congreg alton. In all his work he had
the loyal support and cooperation of
Mrs. Mowery and her departure at
this time will be greatly regretted by
the people of New Ulm.
