MUSIC HATH CHARMS.
And These Charms We're Doubly
Charming at the Concert Wed
nesday Night.

| A0oUty N4BuI.
The music lovers and general pub.
lie were given Il musical treat We'd
ncsday evening in the opera house
that will be remembered for long
time to come by those who we're so
fortunate rs to be present. The men,
bers of Aveleigh Presbyterian church
are preparing to rebuild their church
that was destroyed in the great fire
of April Goth, and Miss Dele Brant-
ly Land, Miss Black and Miss Mill
er, of Augusta, Ga, generously Of
fcrcd to give musical concert for
the benefit of the church fund. The
fact that their kindness was appre-
cIMtcd was evidenced by tho large
audience that greeted them Wednes-
day evening.
The concert is considered by the
music critics here as one of the best
musical productions ever presented
to II Ncwberry audience. Miss Land
is well known and popular in New
berry and her visits here are looked
forward to with pleasure by her
many friends not only because Of
her pleasing personality but also on
account Of tlit pleasure she gives
her friends and acquaintances by
reason of her musical talents. Miss
c> Black and Miller won The hearts
Of the audience by their sweet gen
Il" manners and magnificent musical
talents.
Not Only the members of the Pres
hvtrrian church but the people of
Ncwbcrry irrespective of dcmonina-
tl"nal lines appreciate this kind and
generous donation by these young
ladies Of Augusta.
Miss Miller has strong as we'll
as very sweet voice and charmed
the audience with the delightful
songs which she rendered, with so
much ease.
The violin is one of the sweetest
and most enchanting Of musical in
Sirnmrnts and in The hands Of Miss
Black was peculiarly and maonif-
c"Ntlv V sweet. The Ncwbcrrv people

Bad English that may cause some

Led the legislature the last night of the
session. One section of the law, hat
referring to hunters licenses. reads in
substance as follows: "Every resi-
dent of the state over twenty-on years
of age is prohibited from hunting,
taking or killing any game bird or
game animal, unless he shall have
first procured a license therefor from
the county auditor of the county in
which he is a resident. Provided, how
ever, that this shall not apply to any
resident of said county, Literally
construed the last sentence would
nullify the license requirement., as
every man is supposed to be a resi-
dent of the county in which he resides.
The sentence was added the last night
of the session and was intended to re-
store the provision of the 1905 law,
which required a license of every
person hunting outside his own county.
The bill passed both houses with the
clause requiring a license OF every
person whoawanted TO hunt, whether it
be on his own farm or in the opposite
end of the state. Then the house re-
called the bill and inserted the blind
clause.

AWFUL slBLEY COUNTY TRAGEDY
Insane Man Shoots Boy Playmate
and Then Kills Himself.

The village Of New Aurburn in Sib-
ley county was the scene of a terrible
tragedy Tuesday morning Of last
week when Harry Dresser, young
man of thirty years, intentionally shot
and KILLED little Harold Reimer and
followed up the awful deed by shoot
ing himself.
The story of the tragedy and it's
causes is pitiful one. Dresser, who
was partially demented at times but
not considered dangerous, had formed
a strong liking for the Reimer boy
and was bound to be with him when
ever circumstances permitted. The
parents Of the child were naturally
suspicious of this intim ate association
and tried to prevent it. Dresser,
learning of this, waited at his home
Tuesday morning for the boy to pass
on his way to school. The moment
he saw him approach be slipped in

into the child's back, wounding him
fatally. Then he pulled a revolver
from his pocket, placed the muzzle in
his mouth and sent a death-dealing
bullet into his brain.

found sorrow throughout the com

With the exception Of Christian
Sprenger, Hubert Berg whose likeness
appears herewith, probably holds the
record in this city for length OF SER
vice in the employ of anyone business
institution. AS long ago az 1887, Mr..
Berg became salesman for John r.
Neumann and in the twenty years that
have elapsed since then there has not
been month that has not seen him be-
hind the counters of that busy and
popular store. From salesman he rose
rapidly to Imposition of general mana
ger of allthe departments, and ittois
his conservatism and absolute honesty
that theisuccess of the business is to be
largely attributed. His resignation,
which was decided on last week, came
as a surprise, and as it leaves the
store without responsible and active
head it is little wonder that Mr.. Neu-
mann should announce his determine
ton to permanently retire from BUSH
ness. The Review wishes Mr.. Berg
success in his new venture and trusts
that his expectation as to gold on the
Bier farm may be fully realized.
Chief Electrician Hillaire, who
opened a naval recruiting station at
the Dakota House in this city last
week, has already passed on two APP
plications for admission to the naval
service and expects to receive within
the next few days several more. Cons
stantine Schmidt, one of the success
full applicants, will enlist as an cleo

ment. At government expense, he will
be sent to an electrical school in New
York, where he will receive instruc.
ton in general electricity and wireless
telegraphy. On graduating from this
school he will be detailed to work on q
cruising ship and his salary increased
to $40 month. Anton Groebner, the
other applicant, enlists as a musician
and will receive a monthly salary O.

CITY SECURES CIVIL ENGINEER
MIR. Thompson Of Mankato Elected
to Succeed Oscar Palmer.

At special meeting of the aldermen
held Thursday afternoon the position
of city engineer, held last year by Os-
car Palmer of St. Paul, was filled by
the election of 5. r. Thompson of
Mankato. The position is one that
will require considerable work during
the coming summer and fall and as
much of this work is of a responsible
character the salary for the year was
fixed at ST. $40.
Mr.. Thompson, the new incumbent,
has been city engineer Of M ankato for
number of years and retired only
yesterday to give way to NJ. B.
Haynes. He is a man thoroughly COM
petent in his profession and the mo-
ment it became known that he was to
give up his Office in Mankato offers
came from a number of towns, includ-
ing New Ulm, Brookings and DEVILS
Lake, North Dakota. After carefully
considering all of the propositions he
finally decided on that from New Ulm
as being in a majority of respects the
most acceptable.
He will not move his family here fer
the present, but expects to do so later
on.
The Free Press says: New Ulm is to
be congratulated on securing his SER
vices.
Later Yesterday Mr.. Thompson
notified the city council that he had
also been elected city engineer Of
Brookings at higher salary than
had been offered him here and asked
to be released from his New Ulm en-
gagement. The council granted the
request.

GOLD FOUND ON BIER FARM
hlch Discovery Said to Have Been
Made Along the Cottonwood.
huge Bank of Sand Thought to
Contain Gold in Paying
Quantities.
hubert Berg and Fred Kretsch
Buy Adjoining Farm for
S9,1OO

While prospecting for clay deposits
along the Cottonwood river last fall
Fred Kretsch came across bank of
sand On the Bier farm that set him to
thinking.
The sand contained something that
glistened in the sunlight and Kretsch
thought it might be gold.
He brought samples of the sand to
town and had it examined by John x
Neumann. Neumann had made study
OF mlneralogy at the state university
and he came to the conclusion that the
sand contained traces of gold but not
in sufficient quantity to make it worth
while bothering with it.
Later Ben Fesenmaier went to Colo
RADIO, intending to locate there. At
Colorado Springs he met Philip Bern
hard, an old and supposedly reputable
miner and assayer. He talked with
him OF the discovery that his friend
hretsch had made, and as result Of
this conversation a sample Of ten
pounds of sand was sent to Colorado
for examination. The assayer said it
contained gold, the assay showing in
the neighborhood of $40 to the ton.
Another sample, selected from a diff
ferent portion of the ledge of sand was
then sent to the same assayer and the
assay from this sample showed up
to even better advantage than the first
one.
Still another sample was sent to
Prof. Appleby of the state university,
and he too found traces of gold.
Encouraged by all these returns Mr..
Kretsch and Hubert Berg put their
heads together and concluded that il
gold was to be found in this sand
ledge in anywhere near the quantity
reported, they wanted it. The ledge
is nearly forty feet high and extends
along the bank of the Cottonwood
river for over $50 feet. How deep il
is they do not know, but this much
they do know that there is enough
there to make them both prosperous
if it only turns out as represented
The farm on which the sand ledge is
located belonged to Joseph Bier ane
consists OF 237 acres.
This they purchased for SO, 100, ane
their next move will be to secure
machinery with which to mine the
precious metal. Bernhard, the Colo
RADIO mani who made the assay, claims
to have a machine that will do thu
work satisfactorily and at a small cost
and it is expected that he will arriv'
here in few days to begin operations
AS an evidence of his confidence il
the mine, he is said to have volun
teered to accept an interest in thu
profits of the venture in payment o
his services.
