New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1906-05-23

I Preparations are under way for the
|enterta inment Of the deleg ates who are
20 attend the annual meeting of the
4 western Conference Of Congregations
a al churches who are to meet in this
city on 18th, 18th, and 18th Of Juhe.
i During the time OF the meeting quite
4 an extensive program will be compile
4 ted, and some Of the topics and adj
dresses will be OF interest to the gener-
al public. The meeting will be in
Icharge OF Rev. NJ. S. Hartweli Of
!. Sleepy Eye. and there will be address
ses by Rev. Geo. r. Merrill and r. p.
Herrick of Minneapolis.
The Sleepy Eye council has con-
Icluded that the cannon fire cracker
must go and at a recent meeting de-
Iclded to pass an ordinance to that
effect, but as the time is so short be-
fore the Fourth of July it was decided
| that the ordinance would not be oper-
alive until after that time as most of
the dealers had supplied themselves
with the nerve-destroy wing feature of
Fourth of July celebration. There
may be a call for these things in a
patriotic celebration butthecau should
be disregarded, the country and many
Iof the people would be better off if all
fire crackers were confined to the 10
cent punches with which we are all
| familiar
| The death of Mrs. Bernhard Rein
hart occurred Wednesday morning
last and she was buried under the rites
of the Catholic church Friday morning.
For the past five years she has been a
great sufferer and has been treated by
many ply sicians at different place.
none OF whom appeared to be able to
give her any relief. At the time Of her
death she was being treated at ST..
I Alexander hospitalwhere she had been
since last November. She was born
in Milford in June, 1867 and was mar
ried to Mr.. Reinhart just twenty years
ago. One child, little girl and a
brother, Anton Messmer of st. Paul,
/ besides her husband survive of the
i immediate relatives. She was meme
Der of.St. Anne Court G.. O. F. and
the members of that ganization have
shown her great consideration during
her sickness.
The members of Co. GA of this CITY
will give supper and dance Satur-
day evening and the boys are anxious
to make the evening very pleasant
one and also a profitable one. The fact
that they are not making this ami
versary celebration more elaborate is
due to their ambition to increase the
deposits in their building fund and
their should be a generous patronage
of the undertaking as no doubt there
will be. AS much as any of the or
ganizations of the city tho company is
worthy the support Of the citizens. It
is one of the advertisements of the
| place and is more useful in different
ways than many of the more dependent
organizations that have sprung up and
died. The boys are worthy Of en-
couragement.
4 Cuddy & Cavanaugh, who have been
4 in the plumbing business in this city
flor several years, have decided to re-
Itire from the business and devote their
!. time to ditch work and sewer construc-
ton. They have large amount of
/ this work on hand and as soon as
their ditching machinery arrives will
be unable to look after their plumb
ing business as they should, hence the
desire to dispose of the business. The
business will be taken over by Stoll
N& Son, and Fred Grebe, these firms
believing that it will be better to take
up the business in this manner than to
have third shop in operation by an
outside party. Cuddy & Cavanaugh
have done good business since they
have been working in the city, but
they think they have a better-paying
thing in the work they have under
taken in other lines.
A strange condition exists in the af-
fairs of DR.. Z. &. Humphrey who is
we'll known to most of the people Of
this county, for since the death of Mr..
Westpahl he is the Oldest man in the
county, being in his 93d year. While
in many things he retains the vigor of
intellect that has always manifested
itself in MS conduct of affairs, he has
completely lost his memory in other
things, one of which is his family af-
fairs. He has come to believe that his
wife is dead and that his wife is his
! sister, who died some seven years ago,
and he always addresses her as his
/ sister, and the strange part of the af-
