If there has been any doubt in the
minds of anyone as to the success OF
ANYTHING that New Ulm undertakes in
the way of Festival or Celebration the
arriving hosts must have convinced
the most skeptical that failure is an
impossibility. The Celebration OF the
Fiftieth Anniversary OF the Indian
Massacre promises to out class any
thing of the sort ever occurring In the
state and its entire success has always
been assured by the hearty and un'
firing efforts of the Junior Pioneers
and other citizens who have lent their
aid.
The first evidence Of united effort In
the cause was shown in the matter OF
decorations. Minnesots Street for .
mile IL gay with flags and flowers and
bunting. The side streets too show
that they have been cleaned and
decorated for the week and many
residences have flags and other
special decorations.
Scenes of Frontier Life.
The shop windows down town show
thought and preparation and some OF
them are 80 unique - to deserve
.pecial mention. ;Crone's have three
large windows decorated, one showing
the machine gun company OF New
Ulm; another showing . scene OF
frontier life and . third window con-
tains dozens of implements Of warfare
used by the early pioneers, each
labeled !: with IL history. The;
Columbis has : reduesd model OF me.
Indian Monument; Stuebe's have thefr
windows filed with products OF Brown
and Nicollet Counties, some very
wonderful corn being shown; oil the
hardware stores are showing special

DAYS. Theo. Mueller's Cigar Store
has a six foot peace pipe which he got
in New York for the occasion.
Dengler's Bakery exhibits the weapons
used by Fidel and Diepolder OF
pioneer fame. On the opposite side
of the street the Pioneer Drug Store

houses, the old Wsraju Distillery,
old Turner Hall, the sawmill, the

from the post card and follows it
faithfully ~ 70 detail. The Reliable
Drug Store has scheme somewhat
similar, representing frontier cabin
attacked by the Indians. The Bee
Hive has display Of the equipment
for 4 machine gun man. The In
terestine details of every window arc

posing decorations, the Tags OF oil
nations being displayed.

. necessary part Of such an affair but

Ro-round people found much difficulty
in securing the privilege to locste
