New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1908-12-23
DECIDES AGAINST The CITY
Ryffel Wins in His Appeal from
the Findings Of the JUS
tice Court.
City Ordinance Governing Licen-
ses for Transient Dealers is
Declared Invalid.

just before the adjournment of court
last Thursday Judge Olsen announced
his decision in the case of the City of
New Ulm VS.. Gottlieb Ryffel, which
had been appealed from Justice Hen
ningsen's court.
The case involved the validity of a
city ordinance empowering the city
clerk to exact license from transient
dealers Or hawkers varying in amounts,
according to his discretion, from 1926
to $50 day, $50 to 5000 month and
800 to $500 for period of half a year.
Ryffel had come here from NJ ankato,
as the authorities supposed, to con-
duct closing-out sale. He was asked
to pay license under the ordinance,
but, acting on the advice of attorneys,
|@efused to do SO. Then he was arres-
ted and fined, the justice taking the
position that it was best to have the
ordinance tested in the higher courts.
Ryffel appealed and now Judge o.
sen reVerses the Justices decision,
holding that 1.-The ordinance is invalid
for the reason that it delegates to the
city clerk the authority to fix the IL
cense fee and grant the license, and
for the further reason tn at the license
fee that may be fixed by the city clerk
under said ordinance is excessive in
amount

DEMISE OF MRS. ALBERT BEnNKE
Pioneer Woman Passes Away in
the Fullness of Years.

After an illness extending over
many, many months and at time when
the sufferer had long passed the num-
Der of years allotted to the average
human life, death came to the relief of
Mrs. Albert Behnke and called her to
that long and peaceful rest which
"kisses down her eyelids STILL"
Her end came early Sunday morn
ing and at a time when she was sur
rounded by her aged husband and a
number of her children. Her funeral
will be held from the Turner hall this
afternoon, she having been during her
life faithful member of the Turner
Frauenverein.
Mrs. Behnke was born in Friedland,
Mecklenburg-Strelitz, on the 18th of
September, 1880, and came to America
in 1854. She learned to know Mr..
Behnke in Chicago and in 1857 she fol-
lowed him to New Ulm to become his
bride, Mr.. Behnke having proceeded
hert years previous in ordel, that
he might be one of the founders of a
western frontier town. The wedding
occurred on the 21st of October of the
same year that she arrived in New
Ulm and from that time on the happy
young couple, like many another,
passed through all the joys and like
wise all the hardships Of pioneer life.
With the passing away Of the Indian
and the building up of the country
they met with their share of prospect
ty, only to be succeeded by reverses,
but through it all they walked hand in
hand together, living long enough to

MILLERs RAISE FIGHTING FUND
Do Not Propose to Submit to
Bleached Flour Ruling With
out a Struggle.

Fifty thousand dollars in a fighting
fund and the combined aggressiveness
ofovereighty per cent ofthe big millers
of the land is what DR.. Wiley, the
government food expert, and Secre-
tary Wilson Of the department OF
agriculture will have to face If the
plans agreed upon at a millers meet
in Chicago Thursday afternoon do
not go awry.
Present at the meeting from Mime
sofa were Charles SilVerson of New
Ulm and E. P. Wells and D. NJ. Bald
win of Minneapolis. The Minneapo-
lis millers had held a conference
previous to the Chicago gathering
and after thoroughly sounding local
sentiment decided to fight the decision
to finish.
In circular since issued to the
Millers' National federation, asking
for contributions to the fighting fund,
Secretary Goetzmann makes the fat
charge of prejudice on the part of the
officials instrumental in bringing
about the restrictive order.
He also asserts that the order
practically puts ban upon all white
wheat -four manufactured, that eighty
five per cent of the milling capacity
of the United States is expensively
equipped for bleaching, that the
process is misunderstood and mis-
represented, and that the govern
mental order is based upon narrow
conception of the true situation.
A. W. Strong, representing the
manufacturers of the bleaching ma.
chinery, was in the city Friday con.
sulting with Head Miller Sigel Of the
Eagle regarding the stu alton.

Justice Henningsen pronounced the
words which united the happy young

mony music was rendered by Miss
Alma Marti of St. Paul.
The bride, who was attended by
Miss Lottie Andre of Minneapolis,
looked charming in white satin prin-
d&ss gown, her bridesmaid wearing a

River Improvement

At the recent meeting of the Mime
sofa River Improvement league at ST.
Peter it was decided to present two
bills to the incoming legislature, one
providing for the improvement Of any
river which has become overfowed or
is likely to become Sc through the wa
ter of bitches, previously constructed
under any drainage act, emptying into
the same and thus causing damage to
AUDITING or adjacent property, and the
other empowering the state drainage
commission to make the necessary
surveys and carry on the Improvement.
The following were appointed to APP
pear before the senate and house CON-
mittees in behalf of the two bills Fred

When the German Lutheran church
in Mankato was opened for services
Sunday morning it was discovered
that a dastardly robbery had been
committed. Some time ago boxes
were put up on each side of the vesti-
bule near the front entrance to the
church into which those charitably
inclined might drop offerings for the
poor and needy of the parish. These
had been broken into and all the
silver money had been taken and MOTH
ing but sixty-six pennies left. The
church doors were locked as usual
and it is a mystery how the thief
gained entrance to the church. It was
thought that there was between 500 and
$50 in the boxes.
The German-American Central
Alliance of ST. Paul Saturday eve
ming elected officers for the ensuing
year as follows: President, Julius
Moersch; vice presidents, G. F. Tret-
tin and Adam Bohland; secretary,
Hugo 0. Hanft: financial secretary,
H. Ahlborn; treasurer, Louis F.
! Schultz; librarian, Frank 0. Schultz.
The alliance also adopted a resolu-
ton favoring the passage of law in
surfing to employees, injured in the
service of their employers, reasonable
compensation for their injuries with
out being forced to resort to the courts.
A most extraordinary suicide
occurred at Rochester Friday night.
Mrs. Nellie Cook Purcell, beautiful
/ woman of less than thirty years,
whose former home was in st. Paul,
killed herself at the home of her sis
ter by covering her face with a hand
kerchief saturated with chloroform
and then curling up in a large trunk,
the lid Of which she tightly closed that
all air might be excluded. When her
/. body was found, after search by her
sister and neighbors, it was quite
cold in death.

and his best man, Fred Hubbard of
Minneapolis, appeared in the conven-
tional black.
After the ceremony a wedding feast
was served and happiness reigned
among the guests until late in the eve
ming. OF course congratulations and
the usual chest wishesn were extern
ded, and to them the Review wishes to
contribute it's mite.
Both of the contr acting parties are
popular young people and deserving.
The bride is the only daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Schell and with the younger
people of the city is a general favor
lite. Two years ago she graduated
from the school of oratory of the
Northwestern University at Evanston
and is an accomplished elocutionist.
The groom is New Ulm boy from
birth and enjoys a wide circle of ac-
quaintances. After graduating from
the New Ulm high school he entered
the medical department of the North
western University at Chicago and ex-
poets to receive his diploma from that
famous institution next June. Until
that time Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick will
live in Chicago,it being their intention
to leave for that city Immediately after
the holidays.
Among the out-of-town people who
were present at the wedding were Mr..
and Mrs. Yoerg of Winthrop, Otto
Yoerg of Minneapolis, Miss Alma
Marti of st. Paul, Mr.. and Mrs. Hen
ry Schwertfeger of Sanborn and Mrs.
Bertha Andre and daughters, Lucy
and Lottie, of Minneapolis.

1s,ooo MOTIONS IN DAYS WORK.

From the New York World.
 Before each of a row of machines in certain Pittsburg shop, as described in the current Charities, sits a girl Each girl picks up a bolt with her left hand, takes it from the left with her right hand. When she has done this 16,000 times she will have earned 96 cents. Unless she or the machine breaks down such is her To- hour day.
 In these machine made days it is not the monotony of such a task which is most impressive. The girl of the 16006 motions attracts and holds the attention.
 With motions fewer in number but inc finitely greater in variety the days work of family is done. The houseworker is not tied to a machine. She stands up to her tasks one moment and sits dewn the next. She may think of other things, and tomorrow will be in Its duties and per- formances a little different from today.
 The houseworker gets tired. Is 1t really the same grinding, breaking weariness as machine and makes 16,000 identical mo- tions in a 10-hour day? This is fair question in Pittsburg. Perhaps 1t Is a pertinent one in this larger city, where thousands of young women choose the routine of the factories in preference to the life of varied tasks offered in we'll ordered households. The chief difference when the case comes to New York seems to be in the kind of machine that does the grinding.
