At the regular meeting of ST. Johns
court, G. 0. F., Thursday evening
Thos. J. Kretsch, who is now cashier
of the Sleepy Eye State Bank, was
given surprise which proved a plea
SAINT one. He had been induced to
come down from Sleepy Eye for the
meeting and then his brother Foresters
presented him with a handsome silver
cigar case of bottle form.
An accident delayed the Northwes-
tern from the east Thursday afternoon
an hour and half and nearly caused
the death of the fireman. Between
Rochester and Mankato the axel of
one of the drive wheels broke and this
wrecked the piston and caused other
serious damage. This was the train
on which the Cocaine fend was brought
from Rochester to New Ulm.
DR.. and Mrs. E. Mueller were pleas
antly surprised at their home on
Broadway Thursday evening by a
party of about thirty friends who
called to remind them that it was the
tin, or tenth anniversary of their we'd
ding. After discordant concert in
the yard with tinware as the instru-
ments, the party entered the house
and the evening was passed with dane
ing.
The evangelists who have been labor
ing in New Ulm, E. r. Dow and Mr..
and Mrs. Jacob Harris, held their last
meeting in the Congregational church
Sunday evening and Monday morning
left for Chicago. They are to return
next Sunday to Minnesota, taking up
the work for an indefnate time at
Wheaton. Mr.. Dow is perhaps the
ablest preacher who has ever spoken
in this city and made a large list of
friends.

tinued- Early next spring the work
will be pushed vigorously again and
the school will be ready for occupancy
by the beginning of the fall term.

John Meier, a stranger, fell in a
limp neap on the sidewalk in front OF
Leibold's barbershop Thursday and
was carried into Alwin's drug store
where a physician was called. He
pronounced the case one of too much
booze, with possibly slight attack of
epileptic fits. The stranger said he
was subject to attacks. He was locked
up in Jail over night and the following
day was put on the train with free
ticket for st. James. Meier claimed
he wanted to reach Mountain Lake
and the authorities thought they would
help him part way.
Andrew J. Eckstein and possibly
several other county commissioners
leave today for the Thirteenth Mime
sofa State Conference of Charities
and Correction to be held in Faribault
November 10th, 18th and 18th. The
meeting promises to be one of the most
interesting and instructive in the his
tory of the state, as an unusually fine
program has been prepared. Mr.. Eek
stein reads paper before the gather
ing Friday on '"The Ideal County
Commissioner. Another matter which
will come up for discussion will be
that of better remuneration for county
commissioners, who now make but
little more than their expenses. It is
pro bable that a petition will be pre-
sented to the next legislature asking
for legislation.
