AFTER NEW ULM DEER.
Superintendent George E. Blake Pays
Visit to Brown County Capital.
From Saturdays Daily.

George E. Blake, superintendent of
parks of Mankato, was in this city Tues
day, for the purpose of examining the
deer in the Schell park with intentions of
purchasing number to be placed in the
parks in that city, if the council APP
propriated money for this purpose, as it
is taken for granted it will at future
meeting, says The New Ulm Journal.
The deer. which were in Sibley park in
Mankato, were killed by dogs one night
several months ago, it is thought, and
the city desires to purchase new herd.
Mr. Blake informed Mr.. Schell there was
a large force of men employed by the
city to place the parks of that city in
proper shape for the coming season. This
Alderman Pfaender stated at the last
meeting of the city council there was
not sufficient money in the treasury to
allow few dollars expenditur" to place
the park north of the Catholic church in
commendable shape. When city council
ors deem the city cannot afford to beau
tify its parks for the benefit of it's in
habitants mistake is being made. The
recommendation was made by Acting
Mayor Eibner, that the city should fill
up the holes in this park and place it
in proper condition this season. This is
taken for granted to be the reason why
Councillor Pfaender played "Uncle Joe"
with the city's financial chest. The Man
kato park superintendent could not see
why, with the natural advantages in
New Ulm, for beautiful parks, that a
deer park was not one of its acquisitions.

Auspicious Opening Of Lamm,

From Tuesdays Daily.
The attendance at the formal opening
of the big new store of Lamm, Land

evening exceeded the most sangline eX
pectations of the proprietors. Count wa
kept at the door of all who entered, anc
the number was 9,Ol5. The crowd in the
afternoon was large, but the outpourins
in the evening was immense. The at
tendance was far ahead of any other
opening of similar nature ever helt
i'll the city. The supply OF souvenirs
was exhausted at five o'clock in the af
ternoon, in spite of the fact that the firm
had expected a large attendance and hao
made ample preparation, as it was sup
posed. The walks on Front street fol-
distance of several blocks from the
store presented a scene of unusual ac
tivity throughout the day and evening
The store was beautifully decorated
with palms and plants, and was admired
by all who thronged into it. The crowd
was handled admirably and no mishaps
occurred, nor was any visible strain
placed upon the solid iron structure by
the great weight of the multitude, added
to that of the immense stock of goods
that filled all of the floors. Lamms OF
chestra rendered number of fine selec.
tions throughout the afternoon and
evening.
The firm received numerous letters
and kilograms of congratulations, and a
number of floral tributes were received
from some of the large furniture fac
tories. 1t feels very grateful and thank
full to the people of Mankato and vicin.

were unable to come. or who were I'M
able to see the entire building because
of the throngs present, the firm extends
an invitation to come at any time.

CODE MIKES THINGS.
Law Relating to the Calling Of eau
cuses Is Queer.

From Fridays Daily.
1t has been discovered that the new
code mikes up the law governing no.
tice of the caucuses and an opinion has
been secured from the attorney general
who holds that to be safe. the county
committees will have to give notice of
thirty four days from the first publica-
tion and twenty-six days by posted no.
tices. Under the old law twenty days
by posted notices. Under the old law
twenty days was sufficient, and such
was probably the intent of the code, but
it provides that the county or city COM
mittees, cat least twenty days before
the time fixed for the election of dele
gates, shall give two weeks published
and at least six days posted notice of
the primaries" Under the attorney gen.
erals ruling the publication notice is
not complete till the two weeks are up,
and twenty days must elapse after that
before the caucuses.

Hon. Gilbert Guttersen, candidate for
the republican nomination for congress
in the second district, Is self made
man. He is the product of hardy and
self-reliant race He came into Blue
Earth county when boy. He was pos
sessed of no earthly treasures, such as
riches, nor the prospects of falling heir
to wealth, but he had been gifted with
good constitution, a clear head, a
strong and pure heart and hands which
he was willing to soil with honest labor.
He did not idle away the fleeting hours,
but applied himself to those tasks which
are to be found on every farm. He at
tended the district school, was an apt
scholar and he exhibited the same en-
ergy in mastering his lessons that he
displayed when toiling in the fields.
Later the young man entered the Man
kato normal school. Here he continued
his search for knowledge and was well
rewarded
Mr.. Guttersen is yet young man,
vigorous in mind and body, capable of
performing vast amount of mental and
physical labor He has not been a dead
head in the development of Blue Earth
county. He has helped to enrich this
fertile spot and make it one of the most
progressive in the North Star state He
has never been an idler, and what he
has accumulated is due to his own hon
est efforts, backed by signal ability. For
several years Mr.. Guttersen was man
ager of general store in Butternnt Val
ley, and his shrewd business training
was brought to bear in that capacity and
the establishment was success from
the start.
In politics Mr.. Guttersen has been
very fortunate. He has always received
the support of his home people who have
honored him on number of occasions,
placing him in positions of trust and in
of the legislature several terms, and his
record in that body is one of which any
man could have reason to be proud. He
was active in securing the passage of
legislation which would be beneficial to
the state. He was prominent in several
movements tending to give the people a
freer, yet more secret ballot, and of other
reform legislation he was a pronounced
advocate and supporter when meas
ures came to the test Locally MIR. Gut
tersen has occupied public office and his
acts were always given the endorsement
of the people.
Personally Mr.. Guttersen is a genial,
affable gentleman, of good address and
easy of approach. He has been liberal
contributor to all worthy objects that
have for their mission the betterment of
man of affairs, whose broad mind grasps
situation easily and he is capable of
coping with difficult problems quickly.
He is one of the people. He has no ar
istocratic notions. His sympathies are
with the man who labors and were he
made member of congress, his vote
would be cast for those measures which
were designed for the welfare of the
people as whole. Mr.. Guttersen has
many friends throughout the second dis
trict who will be more than pleased to
give him their support in the contest
which has barely begun. His connection
with the rural route service has placed
Mr.. Guttersen in position where he
could get in touch with the farmers and
learn their every want. He is thoroughly
