New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1906-03-07

meeting OF the hardware dealers OF the
state in their annual convention in
Minneapolis last week. The leading
subject in the convention was how to
circumvent the catalogue houses which
are cutting into the retail trade to a
large extent.
The brightness of the sun and the
whiteness Of the snow Sunday was very
trying on the eyes but this did not deter
large numbers of the people Of the city
from taking advantage of the excellent
sleighing and spending the time out of
doors. The snow was Of short dura-
ton, however, for Mondays thaw
practically destroyed its value for
sleighing.
VIM. A. Kastner has so far reduced
his stock Of furniture that he has been
able to remove it from the Hornburg
building and place it in the Fielder
warehouse, where he will continue to
sell until the entire remnant is dis
SO far as active trade is concerned and
will engage in some other work as soon
as he has disposed of what is left of
his goods.
The Lafayette Ledger is authority
for the statement that parties from this
city marketed hogs in that place one
day last week. This seems to be
strange, for the market here has been
better than in any Of the surrounding
places 1t seems though that there are
some buyers in that village who know
how to go after business as we'll as
the buyers in this city.
A. j. Alvin received large number
of bee hives Monday and will prepare
to be an apiarist on quite a large scale.
He has an excellent place for bees and
there is no reason why he should not
succeed in the enterprise. It is said
that there is no other business that af-
fords as much pleasure as the care of
bees and A. j. is just the man to get
enjoyment out of the work.
Weather Observer A. J. Eckstein of
the Pioneer Drug Store has the follow
ing records for the past month. The
mean temperature for the shortest
month of the year 22.721 degrees while
the maximum temperature was Sc de-
grees on the 18th. The minimum tenn
perature was II below zero that being
on the 9th. The total precipitation
was 81 while the total snowfall was
3.75 inches. Five days were clear,
partly cloudy and ten cloudy.
Geo. Marti discovered in the appear
ance Of J. E. Rosen in the part of
Buster Brown an old acquaintance,
at least the families were acquainted
at the time Mr.. Marti lived in St. Paul
His children and the Rosen children
were pupils at the same school and the
father of the midget was we'll known to
Mr.. Marti. After the conclusion of
the play Sunday evening Mr.. MART
renewed acquaintance with the hero of
the hour.
What promises to be an interesting
game of basket ball is scheduled to be
played between the high school girls
of ST. James and the girls of New Ulm
on Saturday evening March 18th at
the gymnasium of Turner hall. The
girls of the home team are practicing
hard to compete with the visitors. The
contest promises to be an interesting
one and friends of the New Ulm girls
will be glad to see them do their best
and win the game.
1t seems that there are two Hedwig
j ahnke's and the one who claimed the
prize for the most elegant ladies mask
in the masquerade last week, is a resi-
dent Of Cottonwood and is not the Miss
Jahnke who lives in this city. The
latter young lady was not at the mas
querade and is not in the habit of
going to parties of that nature and the
reference to the prize winner in the
last Review should not be construed
to mean her.
ST. Peter is considerably hopeful
over the prospect of getting the peat
factory which is to be established in
one of three places either in that city
or in one Of the smaller places ada
cent thereto. The location will be de-
termined after the tests have been
made Of the peat taken from the differ
ent beds. 1t seems that there is plenty
OF it in either Of the places and the
quality is to be the determining fea-
ture.
At a meeting of the mesabers Of the
Congreg ational church last Thursday
evening, when there were about TWEEN
ty five present over $500 was raised
toward the improvements that are pro-
posed for the building. 1t was practi-
cally decided to get new pews for the
church and to carry out all the other
improvements that were suggested
