Old 5sttlers Picnic.

Had 1t not been for the. threatening
clouds hanging over New Ulm and
vicinity all day Sunday this years
Old Settlers Picnic would have been
one OF the best in regard to attend snce
that was held in many years. But as
1t was hundreds OF visitors who would
have attended were kept away on
account of the threatening weather
conditions.
The festivities began at 2 O'Clock in
the afternoon and in spite of the dis
cOuraging weather forecast 500 to 600
people gathered in Turner Park. The
End Regiment Band was promptly on
hand furnishing, as usual, splendid
music. Before the official program
was carried out the guests set around
the tables in small groups making
new and renewing old acquaintance,
and it is this social feature that makes
these festivals so we'll liked and de-
sired by young and old. Mayor Graf
being introduced by Mr.. A. J. Alvin
opened the official program by few
we'll put remarks. welcoming the
people and emphasizing that he as
we'll as number of the junior
pioneers, can be proud of having been
born and raised in this prosperous
commonwealth which was founded by
the brave and courageous pioneers OF
over SO years ago. The mayors re-
marks we're we'll received by the large
audience. E. j. Buehrer delivered the
principle address. The ladies OF the
Turnverein served supper in the gym
nasium.
Interesting features of the afternoon
program we're the gymnastic exercises
produced by the class of actfves OF
the Turn Verein. This number of the
program was concluded by the wrest-
ling match between Joseph Groebner
and Carl Helm. Az neither OF the two
seemed to be the stronger one the
result was tie.
The arrangements of the Old Settlers
picnics and reunions are carried out
BY the Junior Pioneer of New Ulm and
it is to their credit that they perpetu-
ate an institution that gives due honor
to the grand work of civilization by
the old settlers and pioneers. The
annual Old Settlers Reunion is now .
permanent institution and the Junior
pioneers are in q position to do
noble work in the wav of gathering
and preserving important historical
data relative to the early settlements
made in Brown and adjacent counties.

PipsstOne Visited by Severe
b Storm.

Last Sunday a terrible rain and
hail storm passed over Pipestone.
According to a private correspondence
from that place every window in every
house was broken and there isn't
glass window left in any store or big
building. The forenoon was hot and
suitry and the suffering from heat was
most intense. At 1870 p. NJ. dark
clouds covered the sky and darkness
prev allied to such an extent that lamps
had to be lit.
The hail stones that came down were
as large as fist. Every window on
the N. side of the houses were broken
and the glass carried thru the whole
house. In some instances the table
cloth was carried away from the table
dishes we're broken, pictures torn OF
from the wall, and the furniture
ruined. After q Is minutes duration
the wind switched around to the South
end the storm did great damage to
the side of the houses which were ex-
posed to the wind.
The storm lasted about an hour,
accompanied by terrible lightning,
and laundering, rain and hail piled
up against the houses to height OF II
foot. It looked like regular snow
drift. The surrounding country
appeared as If it had showed for
week. A regular winter scenel There
is hardly leaf to be seen on the trees
and the gardens with their products
are thing of the past. Some people
were severity injured by the falling OF
the windows and glass. The damage
reaches into the thousands.

CARING FOR TUBERCULOSIS
Thirty-Nine State and ia Local Sana-
toria Provided, but These Are
Only Beginning.

In spite Of the fact that state sana-
toria and hospitals for tuberculosis
have been established in 81 states, and
la municipal or county hospitals in
rs states, vastly more public provision
is needed to stamp out consumption,
says the National Association for the
study and Prevention Of tuberculosis.
Nearly every state east of the Missis-
sippi river has provided a state sana-
forum, and west of the Mississippi
river, state sanatoria have been es-
tablished in Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri,
Arkansas, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana
and Oregon. There are 38 sanatoria
provided by these states, Massachu-
sets having four. Connecticut and
Pennsylvania three and Texas two. In
GLIDING special pavilions and aims
houses, there are ia municipal or
county hospitals for the care of tuber.
culous patients.
Apart from these institutions, how
ever, and few special pavilions at
prisons, hospitals for the insane, and
some other public institutions, grand
total of hardly 200, the institutional
care of the consumptive is left to pri-
vate philanthropy.

After going through southern and

the falls of the Mao Kali were To-

According to the testimony of
French officers and natives, these falls

Pushing on into the heart Of AT
RIGA, Miss Macleod proceeded through
the Tuburi lakes, and eventually
reached the Shadi down which she
travelled to Lake Chad.
Here the picturesque rocks of Hadj-
el-Hamis were inspected, which are
held in veneration for miles around.
The highest peak Of these rocks
was climbed by Miss Macleod and
her COMPANIONS feat which the ma
tives declared to be impossible.
Lake Chad was then crossed in
kotoko canoes. This journey took
eight days, five of which were spent
out of sight of land.
Near Lake Chad the grave Of Lieut..
Boyd Alexander was visited-the pa
thetic object of Miss MacLeod's long
journey.
Discussing her travels at Plymouth,
Miss Macleod said that the greater
part of the route chosen was unknown
to Britishers.
On arriving at Lagos she said she
was surprised to hear rumors that
"Miss Macleod" had been massa-
cred and eaten by cannibals!
