ANOTHER OLD PIONEER GOES
Historic Tree Wrecked by Satur-
days Gale.
Storm-Swept For Years at Last
Yields to Violence.
Evergreen Was Planted by Early
Pioneer OF New Ulns.

For years there has stood in the rear
of the Olsen building on Minnesota
street an old evergreen tree. 1t was
not a handsome plant and it served no
particular purpose. It was hidden
from view by the buildings and af-
forded but little shade.
1t was an evergreen tree and was
originally set out as an ornament by
Grandfather Behnke, who nursed it
through it's infancy and watched it
develope into sturdy growth, and
then he passed away and for years the
tree has stood like a lonely sentinel
keeping guard over the past with no
one to care particularly whether it
lived or died.
The tree was one of several that were
brought into the city by Ernst Brandt,
from his farm forty-seven years ago,
and at the time of the planting there
were quite a number set out and only
this one survived. On the 18th day of
October some years later there was one
of the most severe snow storms tn at
this country has ever known, and the
wei ght of snow broke the tree off about
half way down, but it recovered from
this and grew into very good shape.
Saturday afternoon the severe wind
that swept over the city snapped it off
at the top of the ground and now its
body, sawed into cordw0od lengths,
reposes on a pile of other less interest
ing wood prepared for cremation.
Such is the pathetic history of the old
evergreen but there is q sentimental
side to the tragedy that makes it in
teresting.
DR.. Marden, who for years has
looked out on the plant, as he and it
have grown old together, noticed that
its branches no longer swept his win
dows, and saw that the elements had
wrenched it from its foundation and
| destroyed it for all time.
He carried the information to his
friend Rudolph, informing him thai
another old pioneer had gone.
Mr.. Rudolph was all attention anc
eager to learn the news, but when ht
was informed that it was simply an ole
tree his disgust was indispensable. HI
could not see the sentimental side o
the tragedy.

Fob Finds Favor.

It has been less THAI three months
since the Inter-S State Accident and Re-
lief Association offered as a premium
their beautiful ''Inter- State Watch
Fob as premium for one new APP
plication and during thattime hundreds
have been given away. There is such
an increasing demand for them from
members all over the state that the AS
ISOLATION has found it necessary to get
an additional supply, which have just
been received. This method of adj
vertising has resulted in bringing q
large number of new members into the
Association and at the same time gives
the member a beautiful and usefu
"Fob."

THE BOOMING OF BIG CANNON
VIII Announce Dawn of Nations
Birthday.
Fourth Of July Will Have Proper
Significance.
No Features of Great Day Will be
Lacking in New Ulm.

1t is safe to say that New Ulm is the
only city in the state where there is no
regular military post that will welcome
the dawn of the Fourth of July with
the actual salute of guns at sunrise.
On all the big bills of all the other
places there is the statement that there
will be the salute at sunrise, but as a
rule this is a fake for they have no
guns and the anvil of the blacksmith
is made to answer that purpose. 49,,
But the matter of the guns is a small
thing in the observance of the day.
They are perhaps the best feature, but
they do not give the people the good
time they are looking for, and so the
Fire Department, the Turnverein and
Co. A. have combined to see that the
people who come to this city to cele-
brate have one of the best times that
| they have ever known.
The parade. which is always one OF
the strong features of the day, will be
under the management and direction
of Gen. Bobleter, who with his staff
will ride at the head and will be fol-
lowed by Co. A and the fire department.
in uniform. together with Burg S
Battery and the usual complement Of
citizens in carriages. The whole pro,
cession will be headed by the Second
Regiment band, which has remained
home to participate in the home cele
bration.
There will be no question as to the
fitting observance Of the day and there
will be no one disappointed who re
mains here to hear the speeches ant
help make the day successful both a.
to the character of the celebration a
we'll as to the results financially.
There will be an opportunity to ge
rid of all the red fire and torpedoe
4hat people want to and some of tn
merchants have been SO bold as tx
advertise fire crackers for sale on tina
day. There is every reason to believ

will make you just as tired as if yo1

New Ulm has had no genuine cele
bration for several years and the at
tempt to have one this year will NJ
doubt prove wise, for there is a dis
! position on the part of many to believ
that it is the duty Of every cOmmunit.
to observe the national holiday in tn
prescribed manner. This will be don
in New Ulm.
In addition to the celebration tina
is to be held at Turner Hall park Their
will be similar celebrations at Caecil
liam park and at College park. At tn
former place the Cadet band will b
employed and at the latter the Con
cOrdia band will discourse music. |
,. is safe to say that there will be a goo
time at all the places providing, G
course, the weather is what it shout
be for the Fourth of July.
Next Tuesday is the Fourth Of July
Remember New Ulm will celebrate.

The Review has learned that William
Wellner, an old resident of Nicollet
county has rented his large farm, just
on the opposite side of the Minnesota
river, to G. H. Bauer and that he will
probably move to this city or to his
county seat. Mr.. Wellner has always
been one of Courtland township en-
ergetic politician having made an
excellent run for county treasurer last
year and there is no doubt but that he
would beelected if he chose to bein line
| for that Office again.

CHICKEN HUNT
NOT A SUCCESS
Returning Hunters, However
Report That Ducks Are
Plentiful.

While tho chicken hunting is
said to be poorer this season
than for years, ducks, according
to the reports of returning hunt
ere are exceptionally plentiful,
although it is yet too early to
hunt them successfully.
Persistent rains have inundat-
ed the Western chicken coun-
try and the eggs were ruined
or the small birds we're killed
during the brooding season.
Nearly every depression on the
western prairies is filed with
water.
While it is impossible for the
hunters to get many of the
prairie birds the wet weather
has been highly favorable to
ducks. At present they are
scattered all over in twos or
threes, but later when the frost
comes and they start on their
annual trip to the south the
shooting will be uncommonly
good.
