Ladies, new egg beater has been
invented. Fred. Spoerhase of New
Ulm is the inventor, and he declares
that it is the best thing in use for
the purpose. If in a hurry the
white of an egg can be beaten in
ten seconds so that it will stand
alone in a roll when taken out, and
it has a delicacy of appearance Who'll
ly different from the usual beaten
egg. That's beating the present
egg-beaters all to pieces.
The Sleepy Eye council has decid-
ed to call an election on the issuing
of bonds to the amount of $4,000.

ton with the regular election of

Mrs. Andrew Saffert of New Ulm
narrowly escaped a serious accident
and even death, the latter part of
last week, while she and Mr.. Saffert
were driving in the country in Lafa-
yette township. The horses were
frightened and ran away, and while
running the buggy tongue dropped.
The horses soon ran upon a fence,
when the buggy was thrown up and
forward, and Mrs. Safert was
thrown out. In the fall her nose
was broken and her face was
scratched. Mr.. Saffert had managed
to get out of the buggy before it
tipped up, and was unhurt.
Sanborn Sentinel During the
thunder storm last Saturday night
a bolt of lightning struck the farm
house of Harry Dickerson south of
town, setting the structure on fire
and burning the building to the
foundation. Harry was asleep and
about II o'clock was awakened by a
cracking noise and rose to find that
the entire west side of the house
was in a mass of flames. 1t seems
that the bolt that struck the house
must have stunned the sleeper, and
the wonder is that he was aroused
in time to save his life. He sue
ceeded in carrying out a few arti-
cles of household goods that were
down stairs, with the aid of few of
his neighbors who arrived to assist.
The Chicago, Anamosa & North
ern railroad, which is being built
from Iowa points to Austin, thence
| to OWatOnna and westward thru the
state and into Canada, is experience
ing considerable opposition in secur-
ing the right of way near Jubilee,
Iowa. The farmers in that portion
of our sister state are of the idea if
right of way is given to the steam
road all hopes of a trolley line will
go glimmering. The survey of this
road has been completed thru this
portion Of the state and it has been
said it has been made thru this city
from Mankato. Building operations
on this road have been progressing
for several years. 1t is supposed to
be a scheme to occupy new territory
and probably is backed by the Mil
waukee system.
Here is large corn story from
New Ulm News: J. w. Current of
Milford left in the News office Mon
day an ear of yellow dent corn that
was over eight inches long and con-
tanned sixteen rows of corn, which
was fully matured and firmly filled.
This corn, or the corn that produced
it, was planted on June 10th on new
brush land full of roots, hence it
could not be cultivated. The early
part of this season was very dis
couraging for corn crop, and this
seasons good crop proves again that
