'.Ths Shepherd of the Hills"

Occasionally some play strikes .
note that rings out clear and true In
the midst of the commonplace, and
impresses its auditor with the thought
that it was written not for gain, not
for pasttime, but because some man
had something to say to other men
and he took this means of expression.
Tho Shepherd of the Hills, =
Harold Bell Wright's drsmstizstion
of his novel of the same name, Is this
kind of play. Mr.. Wright had felt
within his soul the peace and beauty
of the hills and he wished to set down
their meaning before him. He made q
play that in plot is compelling, one
that never fails in sincerity. The
people who move in it are so human
that the auditor will pick them out for
like and dislike as if be really knows
them.
There is the shepherd, the man who
came to the hills to learn, and re-
mained to teach; Old Matt, who
cherished the memory Of wrong that
could never be righted; Young Matt, a
Hercules of the hills country, whose
strength of heart and soul eqaaled the
strength of his body; Sammy Lane,
bright and buoyant with the youth o!
the hill country, and the other quaint
characters that enliven the play with
humor. p.
The scene of the play is in the high
hills of the Ozark mountains. The
mists of the valleys, the glories of the
sunsets, the magnificent vistas from
the submits have been brought out
by the wonderful ingenuity of the
scenic artist and electricians craft.
1t is the spirit of the land that Mr..
Wright has caught that makes the
play one that is unique and one that
will stand in q field of its own.
"The Shepherd of the Hills" will be
the attraction at the Turner Theatre
next Sunday evening"

President Of Eagle Roller Mil Co. Buried Monday

Flags flying at half-mast in the
early morning light indicated to New
|Ulm that another OF her leading
citizens had completed his earthly
|labors and passed on to what the life
beyond holds. Charles Silverson who
has long been prominent In business
circles both at home and abroad, one
Eof the best known men IN Minnesota
lin his line of endeavor, died early
saturday morning. September 21st,
after making long. hard fight to
regain his health which life OF
(arduous undertaking had impaired. !.
THE immediate cause of death was
|dropsy which was the culmination OF
Ia complication of physical Ills fro N
which Mr.. Silverson had suffered for
many months. 1t was known that his
condition was most serious but the
end came suddenly after all, following
i closely on hemorrhage of the
stomach which occurred Wednesday
last. The patient rapidly became un-
fconscious and remained so until life
became extinct not quite three days
later, shortly after midnight Friday.
Charles Silverson was born in
Baden, Germany, 81 years ago last
August. His parents decided to come
to America and the father came on
ahead to prepare home but died at
New Orleans before his family joined
him. The mother and children came
Ito Cincinnati in 1854. The boy at

The number of dyed-in-the wool
partisan voters in the County does not
exceed 1900 according to the returns
and constitutes about one third of the
vote that will be cast in the fall elec-'

we're open as early as o'clock a. me-
and were kept open as late as 9 o'clock
D. m., and the weather was ideal for
an election, drizzling enough all day
to prevent the farmers and laborinE

always figured as leader. He took
an active interest in school matters
and became president of the board OF
education after having served ss
treasurer for a year. He was elected
in 1893 to our city council but re.
signed after serving year and some
months. 81.
In the fall OF 1894 Mr.. Silverson left
New Ulm and resided in Cincinnati
for seven years but he remained
president of the Eagle Company
during his absence. He was also at
one time an active member of three
different Building and Loan Asso-
Citations and was president of the
Eureka Soap Company of that city,
and served a term as member of the
city council of Cincinnati during his
residence there. After his return to
New Ulm he was elected mayor in
1904 and again in 1906, holding the
office until January, 1908, when he
resigned because of his intention to
make an extended tour of Egypt and
Western Europe. 1t was at this time
that he was married to Miss Katharine
Taney of St. Paul.
Mr.. Silverson was widely Travelled,
well-read and thoroughly informed
man, gentleman in the best sense o1
the word, kindly and genial to friends
and acQuaintances and model
husband and father. .
Mr.. Silverson's quest of health is
well-known. He took treatments for
several months at St. Barnabas
Hospital in Minnea polls but did no,

Unto close touch with -four jobbers and

1 the largest firms of this nature in
sCincinnati at that time, A. Schmitt s
ECo. This brought him into contact
with flour manufacturers, among them
being the early proprietors OF the
[Eagle Mill. He familiarized himself
with the qualities of their product and
with the adv vantages our city possessed

and in the prime of life he came to
New Ulm, filled with the ambition to
make of the plant here an enterprise
worthy of the location.
His first step was to purchase the
Eagle Roller Mill which he did in

and improvements which have ranked
the mill - one of the three largest in
The state and one of the first ten in the
country with an output of 5000 barrels
daily. Mr.. Silverson has alwaws
remained at the head of this enter

he was stricken with illness. At the
time of his death he was the largest

Changes in Church Affairs

The conference Of the German M. e.
Church which makes the assignments
OF pastorates for the year finished its
session Sunday last. number of
changes being made, which will be of
interest to the local congregation.
Most important to them is the ad.
|vancement Of Rev. DR.. Sauter to the
|Superintendency of the Minneapolis
District which extends over most of
Minnesota and North Dakota. DR..
Sauter will enter upon his new duties
the first OF next month, the family
leaving New Ulm the middle of next
week. Rev. DR.. Blume who has been
the Superintendent of the Minneapolis
District since he removed from New
Ulm has been appointed to the pas
|torate OF First Church OF st. Paul.
The vacancy caused by DR.. Sauter's
promotion will be filled by Rev. C. G.
Holm who comes here from Charles
City, Iowa, where he was last years
president of Charles City College but
resigned to re-enter the ministry.
DR.. Sauter came to New Ulm from
ISt. Paul's College at St. Paul Park
in October of 1903. During his in.
cumbency of nine years the church
has prospered along all lines. The
membership has increased yearly in
| spite OF the fact that MANY of the
members have removed from the CITY
The young people have become
interested in the church work because
i it has been systematized SO that there
are definite ends to work for, q very
essential thing where young, active
spirits are concerned. The SUNDAY
School has been thoroughly organized
along standard lines with the latest
ideas applied. It is graded exactly as
day schools are and there are yearly
class promotions. Teachers are
trained in the Normal Department and
this work has interested many of the
young people of the congregation.
The Sunday School here was the first
Banner Sunday School of the stale
and has always kept in the front ranks
with an ever-incressing membership.
Probably the chief factor in pro-
|ducing this excellent showing is the
harmony that has prevailed between
congregation and pastor. DR.. Sauter
speaks most highly of the corps of
splendid workers who have stood with
him in his efforts to upbuild and
strengthen the church he guided. +
DR.. and Mrs. Sauter have taken so
large part in the activities of their
circle that they will be greatly missed
but the promotion is pleasing one,
giving as it does q wider, broader
field and since New ulm is in the
Minneapolis District it is to be ex-
pected that they will often find it
possible to visit with their old
,p parishioners. DR.. Sauter will be in
charge at the Quarterly Conferences
Of the local Church which will bring
him here every few months.

Mrs. Lucilia A. George passed away
at her home on South Washington
Street Thursday afternoon at O'Clock
after brief illness. Death was due
to partial paralysis, superinduced by
a nervous break down. The strain
from the long illness of her husband,
the late Capt. S. A. George, who died
only ten weeks ago, left her in q
weakened condition and she was not
strong enough to throw off the effects
of q paralytic stroke with which she
was afflicted the Saturday previous to
her death.
Mrs. George was past "A years OF
age, having been born in the County
of Bradford, Pennsylvania, on May
10, 1888. She was one of the very
early pioneers of this vicinity, having
come to Brown County with her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Tuttle,
as early as 1855 and has since that
time been q resident of the County.
In the year 1857 she was married to
Almond Loomis in the Town, OF
Milford. The Indian Massacr which
occurred years later proved .
greater tragedy to her than to many
of our citizens, because of the death OF
her young husband on August 18th.
He was q member of that brave band
of 20 of the Leavenworth settlement
who volunteered to 20 out IS . relief
party to the aid of the people living
along the Cottonwood River. When
they returned late in the afternoon of
the same day they were attacked by
the Indians while crossing the marsh
near the Hospital and Loomis was
one of the nine who were killed. a,
After the Indian Outbreak Mrs.
Loomis went back to her parents in
the Town of Milford and lived with
them until her marriage to Capt S. A.
George which took place in the year
1865. From that time until the year
1887 she lived on her farm in the Town
of Sigel and since then has been
resident of New Ulm.
The deceased was devoted wife, a
kind and loving mother and very
neighborly and noble woman. She
was always ready and willing to be of
service to her family and friends and
many have been the recipients of her
kind ministrations. She reared in her
own home Walter Dahm, now
prosperous merchant in Truman,
Minn., and when her eldest daughter
died, Mrs. George brought home with
her Lula and Albert Loomis George,
the latter mere baby but few
weeks old, and raised them as her own
children. & OF her it can be said that
truly good and noble woman has gone
to her reward. She is survived by an
only daughter of her second marriage,
Mrs. Knud E.I Mo and seven grand
children, issue of daughter of her
first marriage who died when her
youngest child was but a few. weeks
old. These grandchildren are Almond,
Irwin, Edmond, Lenton, Lynn. Lula
and Albert Loomis. She is also
survived by an only sister, Mrs.
Esther Behnke of this city and by her
one brother Frank Tuttle of the Town
of Home. Rev. A. E. Norman of the
Unitarian Church officisted at the
funeral which took Dlace from her late
home Saturday afternoon. A mixed
quartette and Mrs. Nels J. Ouren sang
appropriate selections. Interment Was
made ut tho City Cemetery.

Attempted Murder at GoIdroad.

Last Sunday evening, at Goldroad, a fight took place between Jim Cazzola and Joe Alios, in which A lios got the worst of the mixup. Raging with an ger Alios went into the street and re- turned with sharp edged rock, with which he struck Cazzola on the head, crushing his skull and driving splin- ters of bone into the brain. ByStand CTS prevented AliOs from further in turing Cazzola, and although terribly injured he continued to walk around for some time, complaining that he was badly injured. Dr.. Butcher was sent for and went to GoldrOad. where he found the injured man suffering great pain, but still conscious. The splintered bones of the skull were re. moved and the skull raised from its pressure on the brain. So large was the opening that the pulsations of the brain could be clearly seen through the aperture.
 Alios was arrested by deputy sheriff George Ayers and taken to Kingman, where he is now in Jail awaiting the outcome of Cazzola's injuries.
 Cazzola is getting along remarkably well and Dr.. Butcher has hopes of his recovery. It is probably one of the most remarkable cases in the annals of medical practice, the crushing in of the frontal bones of the head and the of the brain, and the pat tent remaining conscious at all times.

The survey of the Wallapai valley lands will be under way within a few days, w. B. Kimmel being on his way to Kingman with big outfit, coming overland from Phenix. The lands will embrace all those not covered by the survey made by J. B. Wright two years ago, and cover eleven and one- half townships, or 264, ,960 acres This will make approximately 100000 acres that will have been surveyed in the Wallapai valley, one-half of which is covered by Santa Fe grant lands. The throwing open of this vast tract of land will bring much of it into the market, several hundred thousand acres being susceptible of dry farming for small grains, while a great deal may be planted to orchard with prospects of success.
