The play staged at Turner Theater
Sunday evening was one of the best
that has appeared in our city. As
announced in the press notices, it was
one that "got across" to the audience,
full of appeals to the sympathy. The' Q
was nothing complex or involved
about the plot, it being an old theme
but the setting was pretty and effec-
tive. The backwoodsmen who were
the chief characters in the story were
not so coarse ss to be repellent as is
cften the the case in melodrsma and,
in fact, none of the characters were
80 exaggerated a. 10 usual. They
seemed like real people. Another
merit was their ability to enunciate
distinctly so that the audience lost
nothing of the dialogue. A fair
audience listened sttentively, at times
we're held spell bound when little
"Pete" told of the creatures of out
doors that talked to him. All in all,
the evening was most pleasantly
occupied in listening to company
that is far above the average road
aggregation.
Hutchinson, Minn., another of the
Minnesota settlements which felt the
force of the Indian Uprising in 1862
has been celebrating the 50th anniver-
sary this week. The history of
Hutchinson is close parallel for that
OF our city. There were the murders
on the outskirts of the settlement, the
rush to the town, the siege of the
stockade, and the final killing OF
Little Grow about six miles north OF
the village nearly a year later.
Hutchinson has always been leader
in educational matters and they have
very fine school system. One Of
the important events of their celebra-
tion was the laying of the cornerstone
of new high school building which
is to be erected on the spot where the
old stockade stood in '62. Mrs. Ellen
Harrington who was one of those who
sought shelter in the stockade was a
visitor in New Ulm during our cele-
bration.

and Treasurer. There will be q
series of lectures and debates during
the winter, on each second Thursday
of the month. Local speakers OF the
various organizations will be asked
to address the Club and in this way
it 10 hoped to promote . feeling OF
brotherliness between those whose
aims have been more or less sntsg-
onistic to each other heretofore. The
f'rat meetino Of the season will take
