CATHOLICS WILL GO TO St. PAUL
Many Plan to Attend Laying Of
Corner Stone Of St. Paul
Cathedral.

A very large number of local Catho-
lies will attend the laying OF the cor
nerstone of the new Cathedral at ST.
Paul, on June End. AT that time the
cornerstone of the largest church edi-
fee in the west will be laid and it is
expected that the ceremonies attendant
upon this will be the most elaborate
that have ever been Witnessed in the
state.
Fully twenty-five thousand people
are expected to participate in the great
parade which will form at Rice park,
and march to the site of the cathedral.
A number of archbishops from all
over the country will be present and
it is estimated that there will be be-
tween fifteen hundred and two thou
sand priestsat the dedication cere-
monies. The new cathedral is to cost
over million dollars. Preparations
are already being made by number
of members of the local societies and
catholics in general to be present and
hundreds of visitors from all the other
neighboring towns will attend.
A special train has been chartered
and will leave from the M. & St. L.
depot at 7 o'clock sharp. The Second
Regiment band will accompany the
crowd from here and it is expeeted
that this will be the largest attended
excursion that has ever left here for
the cities. A special train will go to
Searles from here early in the morn
ing and bring quite crowd from
there to accompany the New Ulmites.

ATTEMPTS TO COMMIT SUICIDE
Ex.Sheriff Mcmillan of ST. Peter
Furnishes Sensation in
Sleepy Eye.

Crazed after three or four days in
toxication, John Mcmillan, ex-sheriff
of Nicollet county, with an effort to
knife a party and two attempts to kill
himself last Thursday at Sleepy Eye,
furnished great sensation in that
city, according to reports of our ex-
changes.
Mcmillan reached Sleepy Eye Mon
day morning and afterward went on a
drunk, Thursday becoming crazed with
the effects of the ''spree" and attempt
ing to knife a party.
About six O'Clock Thursday evening
he went down to the railroad yards
and laid his head across the rail on
which a switch engine was rapidly ap-
preaching. The engine was brought
to standstill within few feet from
where he lay and his attempt at self
destruction failed. Afterwards he at
tempted to throw himself before Con-
ductor Thomas Hughes train but was
restrained.
He was placed under the care of a
physician and the treatment given him
brought him speedily to a rational
state. He is said to have entirely re
covered.
Ex-Sheriff Mcmillan is well-known
in New Ulm and all the neighboring
cities.

DEPARTMENT STORES OF CITIES
Reasons for Poor Business Condi.
ton in Smaller Cities.

If some of the big department stores
of the Twin Cities are announcing
great sales, to last for week or so,
for the benefit Of the country people
residing within 100 miles of the cities,
what do our local people think of the
announcement?
Itsounds very we'll at the first glance,
when they say that your railroad fare
is absolutely free. But there is a
string to the bargain, and in order to
get your fare paid, you will have to
produce evidence at the rebate Office
that you have purchased $50 worth of
goods. This makes the proposition
different, and the country population
is Intelligent enough, as rule, to
avoid just such bargains because they
appear good on the surface, but in
reality are only schemes to get rid of
a lot of shopworn goods that the mer-
chants cannot dispose of to the people
who live in the cities. If we are not
badly mistaken, people in the country
towns feel that nothing is too good for
them, and they will not be duped into
buying old out-of-date goods that are
unsaleable in the Twin Cities. Be-
sides all this, always remember that
fare of 100 mills and return now costs
$500 and nobody will make you a
present of that amount. Another
thing to remember is that when you
are broke your home merchant is good
enough to help you out. Therefore
| you ought to stay by him, out of mere
decency, in time of prosperity.
Again, in great many cases, the
conditions.
The editor of this paper contends
that no man can do a successful bust
ness without advertising. Newspaper
advertising is not the only kind,
though it is the cheapest and most sue
cessful, but the editor of this paper
holds that you must advertise in some
manner whether you do SO by paying
two cents more dozen for eggs, or
ten pounds of sugar with every $1,000
purchase. It sounds ridiculous to
hear a man say advertising don't pay
and then see him pay man several
dollars to put an advertisement on his
front window or put up sign.
Another accident that might have
turned out to be for worse than it
really did, happened Monday after
noon on German Str. right above the
park. While Mr.. Henry G. Mueller
the aged father of DR.. Emil Mueller of
the city was driving along German
Street, a runaway team belonging
to And. Roesch came galloping along
and collided with the buggy of Mr..
Mueller throwing the latter out of it
4 and the buggy on top of him. Mr..
Raabe and John Dauer ran to his as
sistance and, as his buggy was not
damaged, loaded him on it and took
him to the house of his son DR. g.
Mueller. Although Mr.. Mueller was
somewhat dazed from the shocked, it
was soon discovered that he was not
seriously injured and after Mrs. DR..
Mueller had administered some re-
storatiye to him he was soon able to
start for home.

CELEBRATION NOW ASSURED
The Businessmen of City Subscribe
Literally.
$1,000 is at the Disposal Up to the
present Time.

At the meeting held in Schell's Hall
by the businessmen and the CONNER
cial Association last night, a Fourth
of July celebration was made an as
sured fact. Although the meeting was
not very largely attended it was never
theless proven that the businessmen
are very enthusiastic over the affair
which fact was shown by the liberal
way they had subscribed f.nds.
For lack of space the Review can
only bring the proceedings of that
meeting in condensed form.
The meeting was opened by Chair
man Endres and after the minutes
of the last meeting were read, Gen.
Bobleter, chairman of the committee
appointed to ascertain the opinion of
the businessmen, then reported that
they had already $1100 at their dispo-
sal with few hundred dollars yet in
sight. He then also gave his opinion
as to what ought to be done to make
the thing a success. Among other
things he advised to arrange for
special trains, rom different places
get an outside Band and base ball
team and arrange games on the
streets of the city, furnish amusements
for the visitors during the whole day
and close with grand fireworks in the
evening. He also reported that 6
floats had already been subscribed for
by different merchants. Both Gen.
Bobleter and President Klossner of
the Commercial Association gave as
their opinion that an executive COM
mittee be appointed and that said com
mittee appoint subcommittee for the
different arrangements and that no
time be lost in getting the ball roll
ing.
The chair then appointed Gen. Bob
Letter, Fred Crone, Christ. Filzen Jr.,
Henry Flsr, Peter Herrian, Jacob
Klossner on the executive committee
and after some elaboration it was
moved and adopted that the meeting
adjourn and the executive committee
go into session.
This committee appointed the fol-
lowing subcommittee and, we can say,
that some work has already been done.

BANQUET A
SUCCESS
THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY
FIVE GUESTS ARE SEATED
AT THE TABLES

From Wednesdays Daily.
Dan Hamilton of Sigourney, the gilt
of the sixth district OF Iowa to the
nation; William Jennings Bryan, the
democratic party's choice for presl-
dent, and Andrew Jackson, whose
memory the event was to honor, we're
the prevailing themes at the big sixth
district jackson day banquet held last
evening in the New Armory building.
The banquet was one of the largest
and most representative ever held in
the city of Ottumwa or in southern
Iowa. Fully 1926 plates were laid and
the speakers who answered to the vari-
GUS toasts comprised many of the
brightest lights of Iowa democracy.
About $50 guests from without the city
were present.
The guest of honor was Congress
man-e!ect Daniel w. Hamilton of Sig
Quincy, and the ovation which he re-
ceived when he arose to answer to his
toast was one of the most enthusiastic
any public man was ever honored with
in the city of Ottumwa.
Another guest of honor in spirit if
not in the flesh was the Independent
voter ito whom many of the speakers
paid tribute as being the greatest aid
of the democratic party in the sue
cesses scored at the last election
Five Long Tables For Guests.
Five tables running tn full length
of the large New Armory building
we're laid for the guests. The banquet
hall was beautifully decorated with
various colored lights, American flags
and bunting of the national colors. The
4 banquet was in four courses and was
splendidly served under the personal
direction of H. J. Smith, manager of
McElroys restaurant.
The guests for the evening assem-
bled in the armory room and about
S:15 descended into, the banquet hall
and took their places at the tables.
Owing to the absence of Thomas KEEL
ly of Sigourney, the postmaster, S. P.
Hartman of this city was selected to
act in that capacity.
The Ottumwa Harp Orchestra fur.
nished music during the banquet and
also complimented several of the
speakers by short selections following
their toasts.

(Cries of no, no in all parts of the
audtence) But l did the best could
and there is not a sore spot In me.
II am glad to meet with the demo-
Gratis of the sixth district of Iowa be-
cause of all the eleven districts in the
state, It is the only one of which it can
be said, The flag is still there
In poetic language Mr. Porter de-
scribed the night long vigil of Francis
Scott Key, during the Commandment Of
Fort McHenry near baltimore, Md,
ninetY.two years ago and how through
the "dawn's early light" the author Of
the "Star Spangled Banner" looked to
see if the flag was still there
"Ard he found it still floating" con-
tinued MI. Porter. do you know what
kept it there. 1t took three things
courage, devotion ana unity and har-
mony. If you and expect to keep the
flag of democracy still floating we
must be brave. we must be courage
GUS and we must act in unison and
with harmony.
Bryan for President
ut requires courage to be demo-
crat in Iowa. Year after year we have
gone down in defeat before majorities
that were almost brutal in their size.
| We have been brave, we have been de-
voted, but | regret to say there have
been times when we lacked unity and
harmony. know that. there is not
democrat within the sound of my voice
but that expects and hopes to follow
and support that peerless leader of
democracy. who is certain to be the
candidate of the next national demo-
cratic convention for the presidency.
If We stand shoulder to shoulder, hip
to hip, the next president OF these
United States will be William Jen-
nings Bryan.
There is banner that is greater
than the party banner and that is old
Glory the banner of the nation. Par
ties are necessary, but they are only
a means to a great end, the preserva-
ton Of the union and the rights of the
individual citizens Of the country
/ There is call today for a whole heart
ed democracy such as there never has
been in times past.
.The sixth district of Iowa has rec
ognized this demand and has given to
the nation Dan Hamilton, who stands
square on all of these principles an
an optimist. I believe in the future
of our great country. If we as demr
Gratis stand true and staunch to O.
principles, that flag draping that wa
!, yonder shall continue to wave DER tE

ments of Iowa democracy and democ-
racy as whole.
I. T. Dabney was the next speaker.
Mr.. Dabney was to have spoken on the
subject, Present Duties Of Democra-
cy." However, as he explained the
situation, he had been placed on the
program to fill a vacancy, and so re-
cent had been the change that he had
no time to prepare a toast His re-
marks were witty and to the point, re-
ceiying much applause.
T. B. Perry of Monroe county, fol-
lowed Mr.. Dabney. His subject was
announced on the program as "Non-
Partisan Judiciary which toast was
to have been answered by ]. T. Clark
son of Alba. However, Mr.. Garrison
was unable to be present and Mr..
Perry filled his place most acceptably.
His remarks were interesting and
heartily applauded, though not exactly
responsive to his subject.
The next and last toast Of the even
ing was "It Might Have Been" by John
w. Lewis of this city. Mr.. Lewis stated
that except for the lateness of the
hour and the fact that the ground had
been thoroughly covered. it might
have been that he would have made
speech.
He spoke individually of each of the
distinguished speakers of the evening
and complimented them in high terms.
In speaking of Mr.. Hamilton he said:
