ORGAN RECTAL LAST NIGHT.

strument.

The organ recital at the First
Methodist church last night, by
Prof. Geo. l.. Case OF the North
Texas Female College conserva-
tory of music, assisted by local
talent. was a rare musical treat,
one of The best ever afforded the
people of Bryan. II was the first
opportunity the public has had for
hearing the magnificent new Hook
Hastings pipe organ just installed
at a cost of s5Soo.oo. The superb
instrument was in the hands OF a
master, and the excellent and va
RED program, which was publish
in the Eagle yesterday, evidenced
his musicianlv ability and the SUI
perior qualities OF the organ.
Prof. Case vocal selection was
received with much favor as were
also the numbers by Mrs. ). Spell
and Miss Willie Rogers. Miss
Long played the Accomplishments
and proved herself an organ'st OF
fine ability. \ large and apprecia-
tive audience was present.
This instrument was designed
expressively for its present pos
ton, to harmonic with the arch
itecture of the church. IL Is OF
most perfect workmanship and ma.
terial; its voicing artistic, the work
of master.
In mechanical construction 1t is
most modern and complete. There
are numerous combination pedals,
a Grand Crescendo Pedal for
the full organ and fitting tablets
that operate various couplers. The
ingenuity OF its mechanical access
cries make possible the finest
shading of tone color and an inhn-
tie variety of combinations.
The Hook Hastings Cos Per
fec,ed Pneumatic Action is used
and is applied to each manual, to
the pedal and to the stops and
combinations. There are in all
sixteen stops or sets OF speaking
pipes, some very costly and OF
great range OF power and variety,
Each stop has its characteristics,
varying in quality and tone as an
orchestra - flutes, strings. reeds
and the true organ tone, sober, i'm
presSive and devotional.
The foundation stops are rich,
round and full, the softer registers
exquisite in their delicacy, the
reed stop has that rare quality for
which the makers are famed and
all are most beautifully blended in
a grand, powerful and harmonious
whole.

MISER HOARDS WEALTH
Ferdinand ThieIe, a Bachelor,
Leaves 81 900 in an Old
Trunk.

Ferdinand ThieIe, an old bachelor
and familiar character about town
for many years died at the hospital
Friday morning after an illness Of
only few days. He was buried on
Monday.
The deceased was born in Massow,
Stettin, on the End of February, 1912.
It is not known just when he came to
America, but the older residents of
New Ulm say he has been here since
1872. Most of the time since then he
worked for the late Theo. Crone and
for the Schell Brewing Co. He had
no relatives in this country and never
Married. It is thought that he has two
sisters living in Germany.
But not only was he bachelor, neg.
ligent in his dress and habits, but he
was confirmed miser as well. Mr..
Mullen of the Citizens Bank tells how
one fine spring morning many years
ago he and Chas. Stuebe played a
Joke on Thiele that brought out all OF
his miserly eccentricities. Mullen and
Stuebe were standing in front Of the
bank when Thiele approached. Null
len dropped dollar into the water
that was running in the gutter and
when Thiele drew near appeared to
\ suddenly discover it. Stuebe, OF
/ oo>3rse, found another one on the side
walk. Mullen claimed that they had
accidentally been swept out of the
abank. That whole afternoon Thiele

NAY PAsSTHROUGH new ULM
The Milwaukee Road Said to be
Contemplating Extension.
New Line to Connect Granite Falls
and Mankato.
New Ulm With It's Great Industries
Would Surely Not be Over
looked.

A special from Mankato to the
Minneapolis Journal says that the
Milwaukee road may build from
Granite Falls to Mankato and connect
at the latter place with what is known
as the "Alphabeb" road, thus secur.
ing an outlet to Chicago shorter by a
good many miles than by way of the
Twin Cities over the old Hastings &
Dakota and the Chicago, Milwaukee
GS ST. Paul.
The "Alphabet" project is being
pushed by the Milwaukee, and line
down the Minnesota river to connect
with it is not wholly visionary. The
Alphabet" runs from Albert Lea in
+, a northwesterly direction toward NJ an
kato and, as originally planned, was
to have passed on to St. Cloud. The
grading is done and steel laid from
Albert Lea to a point in Waseca
county. Captain A. FL. Reed of Glen
coe was the protector Of the road, but
sold out some months ago to one
Tobie, who has been pushing the con-
structiOn.
If the Milwaukee is really behind
the scheme, and if it should build from
Granite Falls to Mankato, in all
probability this extension would be
likely to pass through Redwood Falls.
From Redwood Falls to Mankato
4 .he natural route would be down the
river and it isn't at all probable that
New Ulm with it's big -four output
would be overlooked. In fact New
Ulm would make the best paying
station on the extension.

Big Stone Order.

The New Ulm Stone Co. received an
order this week for all the granite to
be used ia Minneapolis this year in
the macadamizing of streets. The
order will amount to eighty carloads
or more.
That the product of the New Ulm
Stone Co. is meeting with great favor
is evidenced by the tone of the letters
received from time to time by Manager
Wesley Miller. For example Mr..
Rundlett, the st. Paul commissioners
of public works says, that in his judg-
ment the New Ulm granite will prove
equal, if not superior, to any stone
that has ever been used in ST. Paul
for macadam purposes.
James Forrestal, ST. Paul public
Improvement contractor, bears out
this statement when he says that he
has used the stone on Rice street and
thinks it a perfect granite top for
macadam pavement.
Minneapolis contractors have also
used the stone and they too confirm
the opinion of the st. Paul men. Par
ticularly gratifying is the commenda-
ton of the General Contracting Co.
They say: "The granite you have fur

FIRELOSSFORLUTHERANS
Church Edifice at Mankato Bad
Iy Quilted by Flames.

The German Lutheran church of
Mankato was damaged by fire Friday
night to the extent of $1,000. The in
|surance, it is expected, will cover the
entire loss.
According to the Mankato Review,
the fire started presumably from a
smoke pipe leading from the furnace
in the front of the building to chim-
ney in the southeast corner of the
structure, and was not discovered un-
til the thick black smoke filled the
church and began pouring through the
shutters in the steeple.
1t was an unusually difficult fire to
fight. The auditorium of the church
was so filed with smoke that the fire.
men could not enter and the fact that
there is no basement under the church
made it impossible to work from be-
low. Finally the hose men made their
way into the small furnace pit from
which they could play two streams OF
water.
The fire burned hole about twelve
feet square in the floor just in front OF
the rostrum, burning through the floor
ing and badly charring the heavy
floor joists. The damage from this
will not be as great as that caused by
smoke which ruined the decorations
and worked injury to the valuable
pipe organ.
