tears were streaming from his eyes as
he stood in an attitude Of despair in
front of the shattered mammoth aero
plane. Then friends induced him to
enter a motor car and return to Stutt-
gart. whence he left by train for
Friederichshafen.
An explanation Of the accident by
experts is that probably one of the
balloonettes, Of which the immense
envelope was constructed, burst, and
a spark from the motor ignIted the gas
when the balloon was carried into the
air.
Count Zeppelin's secretary said to-
night that the count is already prepar-
ing plans for another balloon.

to the west of the mill there was

In 1887 Mr.. Silverson also built a

A Blind Senator's Epigrams.

At banquet in New York the other
evening the new blind senator from.
Oklahoma, Mr.. Gore, launched into
denunciation of the tariff, the trusts
and the republican administration.
The following are some of his cpl,
grammatic utterances:
Under Cleveland sixty-fve banks
closed and they called it panic,
while under Roosevelt all the banks
closed and they called it a holiday.
Nothing is lacking to our pros
perity, but confidence; but confidence
fed affrighted before the financial
miners and sappers.
II want congress to Investigate and
tell the people the names of the pirates
who shipwrecked our financial craft.
''This panic was the result of inan-
cial cannibalism.
81 fancy there are men in New York
who are richer than they were before
the panic. One set of financiers want
ed the banks, steamship companies,
copper properties and railroads be-
longing to another set, and they got
them.
II might name some of these men.
but I will not until I learn to discrimi-
nate between President Roosevelt,s
undesirable citizens on the one hand
and his conservative and substantial
business men on the other.
Nothing ever stood pat except the
Republican party and Balaam's steed
''The people now have learned that
the tariff is not proof against panic
nor an everlasting fountain of pros
perity.
'The Republicans advise the pen
alizing of corporate dishonesty, but,
what good does it do to penalize dis
honesty without Furnishing the dis
honest?
"The Republicans believe in gold
and currency for the bankers and
clearing house certificates for the.
people. The Democrats believe the
people should have a little money
just a little.
'The progressive Democrats wage
40 war on riches, but they do not be-
lieve any person can acquire the
vested right to do wrong.

and Mr.. Vogtel was given the respon-
sible position of assistant secretary.
In 1894, too, the active head of the
big institution, Mr.. Chas. Silverson,
retired to Cincinnati. He did not re-
turn until 1900 and during the six
years intervening the mill sorely
missed his strong and guiding infiu-
ence.
Improvements, nevertheless, con-
tinued to be made as before.
j. H. Sigel, an experienced miller,
arrived from Milwaukee in 1896 and
under his direction the plant under
went changes that by 1898 brought its
capacity up to $500 barrels. The
big elevator to the north Of the mill
was also erected in 1885, This eleva-
tor has a capacity of $50, 900 bushels
and was built at cost of more than
$4,000.
1t was not until Mr.. Silverson's re.
turn from Cincinnati, however, that
the real future of the big institution
was absolutely assured. Mistakes had
been made and these mistakes had tC
be overcome. Accordingly he sci
about, with all his energy and bust.
ness keenness, first to reorganizing his
working force, then to restoring the
conapanys financial standing, and then
when both of these things had beer
done, to once more charging the mill
The first Improvement under the new
regime was undertaken in 1902, the
second in 1906. The one brought the
daily capacity of the mill up to $500
barrels; the other to 5000, the capacity
it enjoys today.
The year just passed witnessed the
addition of a mammoth concrete ware
house, costing approximately 10000
and with the completion of this anc
other minor improvements in the pow
er house and Offices we have the plan
at the present time practically as re
presented in the accompanying draw
ing by Mr.. Krieg.

This was disheartening to BeinhOrn
and Rehfeld and they abandoned the
work entirely.
Then it was that Jacob Pfenninger,
| Werner Boesch and John Meyer
! formed partnership and, taking over
the property from the discouraged
owners, proceeded to build saw mill.
This was in 1868.
In 1864 John Bellm, Jacob Mueller
and few other enterprising citizens
got together and built a mill for the
manufacture of -four.
Boesch, Pfenninger ana Meyer fol-
lowed suit and in 1865 the Eagle saw
mill was made to appear as it does in
one of the Illustrations given herewith,
a combined saw and Touring mill, the
latter having daily capacity of fifty
barrels.
Thus things continued until 1874.
In that year the City mill came into
existence and in that year also Mr..
Meyer passed away and was succeeded
in the Eagle mill partnership by Mr..
George Doehne.
Boesch, Doehne and Pfenninger re-
NAMED in partnership for twelve
years and at all times enjoyed the
greatest prosperity. Their output was
not large, but the demand for their
-four was steady and the profits were
far greater than they are today.
Consequently they were always in a
position to profit by any improvement
being made in the development Of mil
ling at the time, and when in 1880 the
Empire mill was erected, by PAIL,
Koch and the Schmidts, the Eagle
folks promptly went their new competi-
tors one better by sending Doehne to
Minneapolis and making arrange
ments to change their plant from a
burrstone- grinding mill to an all roll
ler- process one.
This move, together with an increase
in capacity, placed the Eagle in the
foreground among the -four manu-
facturers of the state and spread the
name of their product far and wide
among the consumers of the land.
With this reputation as a reward of
conscientious business endeavor, Of
fers of purchase came frequently to
hand and in 1886 Boesch, Pfenninger
and Doehne, the three inseparable
partners, sold out to one of their Gus
toners in Cincinnati, Mr.. Chas.
Silverson.
Silverson had associated with him
self in the deal H. W. Bonne and Geo.
II. Frey, but the interest of these two
men in the enterprise was rather short
lived, for in 1883 Bonne gave way to
Silverson's father-in-law, A. Schmidt
of Cincinnati, and Frey retired in
1889.
During this time, however, improve
ments were inangurated which gave
notice to the keen observer Of the
greater things that were coming.
The capacity of the plant at that
period of it's existence was only two
hundred barrels, but, as indicating
that the newcomers intended to in

penses aggregate close on to $3.50, 900.
The management of the concern is
entrusted to a board Of directors the
officers of which are as follows: Presi-
dent, Charles Silverson; vice presi-
dents, A. Schmidt and J. Fl. Sigel:
secretary, Chas. Vogtel; treasurer,
VIM. Silverson.
Only Chas. Silverson, j. H. Sigel
and Chas. Vogtel reside in New Ulm
and upon them falls the burden of
successfully steering the establish
ment through its immense volume of
business.
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1908-02-12
Present Company of Owners Was
Organized Only Seven
Years Ago.

Fifty years ago, on small plot of
ground overlooking the Minnesota
river and lying at the foot of what
was then the newly founded town of
New Ulm, small company of Chicago
colonists, seventeen in number, built
mill.
1t was small structure. partly saw
and partly Touring mill, but it served
the purpose of the early settlers and
fourished as long as it lasted.
Today, on the same plot of ground,
there stands another mill, serving the
people of this day and age, even as
did the small concern the denizens of
the wilderness of half a century ago,
but far more pretentiOus-an institu-
tions the busy hum of whose machinery
keeps hundreds Of people in employ
ment by night and by day and whose
almost ceaseless grinding consumes
yearly millions upon millions of
bushels of golden grain.
Between the two institutions there is
a stretch Of many, many years, and the
story of the development of the one
from the other is we'll worth the telling.
The first mill was completed in the
year 1857.
AS stated at the outset it was erected
by members of the Chicago Land AS
ISOLATION, and Jacob Brust, who is
still living, was one of the principal
stockholders. In fact, it was Brust
who furnished the bulk of the means
with which the plant was constructed.
In 1858 the mill was destroyed by
fire, and the owners, despairing of
making success Of a second venture,
turned the lot and such machinery as
was saved over to Fred Beinhorn and
Mr.. Rehfeld.
These two men reconstructed it as a
saw mill in 1859 and continued to
operate it as such until it was once
more destroyed. along with the Globe
mill, in August, 1862.
The Indians were responsible for
this last disaster to the mill owners,
and Immediately after the suppression
Of the outbreak deleg cation of citizens
called upon Gen. Pope, who was in
command Of the department of the
Northwest at that time, and urged up
on him the necessity Of government
aid in the rebuilding Of at least one of
the mills. Pope saw the justice of the
claim and ordered that the work of re-
construction be proceeded with at
once.
Thereupon Rehfeld and Beinhorn,
the owners Of the Eagle, went to work
with vigor to build a new mill.
Nearly every able-bodied man in
the sparsely settled village joined in
The work of cutting logs and laying
the foundation, and in a short while
the latter was completed.
Then came a great disappointment.
J. II. Vajen had been sent to St.
Paul to consult the government agents
about the aid promised by Pope and
when he returned he was forced to tell
the enthusiastic builders that no
government aid would be forthcoming,
that Pope had acted without authority,
and that if the people of New Ulm
wanted a mill they would have to
build it themselves.
