he states that the only recommend
he carries is that he raises splendid
hogs. We believe that the fellow
who raises good hogs will be able to
hold down county Office in pretty

New Ulm Review: The large
three-story brew house and storage
building of the John Hauenstein
Brewing company collapsed shortly
after noon Thursday while the
workmen were eating dinner. The
last man to leave the building be-
fore the collapse was Frank La
mecker who narrowly escaped being
buried beneath the ruins. The struc-
ture was strongly built of brick and
reinforced concrete, alsoI strength
ened by large twenty-four-inch
beams. 1t is believed that the con-
cussion caused by blasting at the
stone quarries, about two miles dis
tant from the brewery, caused the
walls so gradually give way and
finally collapse.

New Ulm Review: Recently a.
Dago struck our town peddling
statuettes. With a huge 1wicker
basket supported from his'shoulder
by broad leather strap and mag
nificent figure of thessfamous Italian
patriot and soldier Garibaldi poised
in his right hand, he was navigating
towards the Northwestern s,depot,
when he was met by Bibs who un-
conscious of the approaching street
vender. Internationally bumptI
against the dispenser of Italian art
and sent Garibaldi to the stony side
walk, a countless mass of smither-
Gems. Knowing of the infamable
and explosive temperament of the
Maccarohi man Bibs, fstruck dumb
with the awfulness 1.-the catas-
trophe, expected to see the brandish-
ing of a concealed .stiletto in this
instance, however. Instead the man
of the Malta, with ewes flashing fire,
opened his escape valve thusly.
Said he: What. you brrreaka me
Garipaldi?" So saying he instantly
dove into his basket and produced a
parallel figure of the father of Bibs'
country and with righteous indigna-
ton hurled it onto the spot of the
pulverized Garibaldi and Exclaimed;
Il brrreaka your George Washing
ton, to H.. lila with your big man. +"
