New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1906-07-04

John Kahut celebrated the anniver-
sary OF his fiftieth birthday among a
circle of friends Sunday.
Miss Carrie Eibner has accepted a
position as stenographer in the Office
of the Eagle Roller Mill Co.
| In going over some of the effects
that were stored in the attic of her
home in this city Mrs. Caroline Dun
kel found copy of the New Ulm Re-
view, issued during the week of the
fcyclone which destroyed the city on
July 18th, 1881. The paper contains a
very elaborate write up of the event
by Gen. Bobleter Mrs. Dunkel has
taken good care to place the paper
where it will be secure for all time
and prizes it very highly
In the accounts of what happened
forty years ago in st. Paul, which has
been running in some of the papers of
| the state, there is mention of the estab-
lishment at st. Paul of peat factory,
| said to have been on large scale and
a report OF the test that were made of
the fuel. It appears that the product
must have been failure for the matter
seems to have been entirely forgotten
though it is claimed that the results of
burning the fuel were in all points very
satisfactory.
The benefit concert given by the
members OF the Second Regiment band
at Turner Park Sunday evening was
unusually we'll attended and was an
interesting feature. The music was
not only the best, but aside from the
work that was done by the band the
| Maennerchor sang a number of pieces
and there were some vaudeville stunts
by Stengel and Trautmiller that were
alone worth the price of admission.
The band will be able to turn over to
the injured member of that organiza-
ton something like $50 as result of
the enterprise.
1t IS not necessary to remind the
readers OF the Review that today is the
Fourth of July, no doubt some of
them will have occasion to remember
it as long as they live, but we hope
not in any painful manner. Last year
1872 people we're killed in the United
States on the Fourth of July, and
5,176 were MANNED, six of these were
made entirely blind and forty-fve lost
one eye. If it is necessary that your
patriotism should seek some danger
Gus method of expression see to it that
all caution is observed and look after
the children.
Cuddy & Cavanaugh are about
ready to start operations on the ditch
for which they have the contract in
this county. Their machine has ar
rived and has been put in shape. It
is the only machine of it's kind in this
part of the country and differs from
| the usual machine from the fact that
it cuts ditch with sloping sides,
whereas the others have straight sides
and are much harder to keep clean.
The machine is very heavy concern
and will attract large amount of at
tention when in use, as it is operated
with a steam engine.
A trip through the country Sunday
reveals the fact that there are very
good reasons to believe that notwith-
standing the immense amount of rain
that has fallen, there will be an aver
age crop this year. On places where
the ground is low wheat looks thin and
yellow but that is more than made up
Dy the better grain that is shown on
the higher land. Corn appears to be
the most backward some of it barely
out of the ground and in some places
I farmers are turning under fields that
are apparently so full of weeds that 1t
is impossible to do anything with the
grain. Rye has passed the danger
point and in week some of the fields
will be harvested. It is generally very
good. Farmers complain that the
elements have been against them and
that they will suffer, but if things do
not grow worse than they are at present
they should fare as we'll as usual.
According to reports from Washing
ton it appears that the bill introduced
by Mr.. McCleary to have the men who
served under arms in the defense of
this city against the Indians has not
been forgotten and that it has at least
passed one Of the houses. It is diff
ficult bill to get through, and it is
doubtful if it will ever become a law,
though there are many of the older
people of this part of the country who
are more justly entitled to pensions
for the service they rendered the gov
eminent at that time, than many who
are now drawing pensions for their
