JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, July 20
A gang Of opium smugglers have been
discovered In the state penitentiary.
In the last six months dozens Of cans
have been smuggled into the prison
walls. Part of the dope came from
Kansas City and the balance was sent
from st. Louis The opium, cooked
and ready for us, was secured in
pound packages by a former guard.
This man seoreted It, pound at a
time, near the engine house where q
''trusty" picked It up and smuggled II
inside the prison, There It was taken
by another convict who sold It to the
other convicts. The seller OF the
opium turned the money less his com.
mission over to the trusty who IN
turn slipped It to another trusty, who
turned it over to the exguard.
Books show the stuff came from
Kansas City and st. Louis. No ar
rests have been made. There appears
to be no statute covering sales to
oonvicts. There Is a rule at the pris
on barring from visiting any one
caught smuggling. This rule hai
been enforced and the trusty put
back inside the wallis.
Since he became warden, D. G. Nc
Chung has been certain opium wa,
tsmuggaed to the prisoners. He watch
ed the mails closely but could fin,
no trace Of the stuff coming IN tina
way. Only by accident when the "trus

package from his clothes was the
opium squad detected. A rigid en-
forcement Of all rules began at th,
prison yesterday. Convicts viodatfnt
rules were made to suffer. Proven
tion OF smuggling among the 2,5o'

problems of prison officials. Nearl.

Who Gives You the
Poorest Service?

Is 1t the merchant who has
the brightest store, the most at
tractive things to sell you, a po-
lite and intelligent sales force to
serve you and an all round gem
ial, home-like- welcome atmos-
phere awaiting you In his shop
and then tells you about 1t in his
advertising?
Is It from that kind Of mer-
chant that you receive poor serv-
ice? 1t is not probable.
The chances are ten to one
that the poorest service and the
least satisfaction come from the
shops where business Is done
under antiquated conditions;
where the merchandise is badly
chosen and badly displayed;
where salespeople are not well
Informed and courteous and
obliging:; and where the mer-
chant either has nothing much
of interest to advertise or else
doesn't believe in advertising"
There MAY be exceptions but,
If SO, they indicate the rule. The
best service comes from the
business that has so much conf
dence in its methods and It's
merchandise that 1t is part of
its splendid service to tell you
about it.
Faithful ad-readers seldom go
to the wrong store.

New Ulm review., 1913-08-20

Chicago shortly after their arrival II
America and spent two years there
coming to New Ulm in 1856 when there
we're only a few scattered houses to b'
seen on the present townsite. They
cast their humble lot with the few
other settlers who lived here at tha
time and during the Indian massacre
sought refuge from the mercilest
cruelties of the red men by fleeing tc
Fort Ridgely. She was eighteen years
old at the time but rendered valuable
assistance by ministering to the needs
of the sick and wounded at the Fort.
Her kindly ministrations could mol
fail to be noticed by her future
husband who was serving as citizen
soldier at The Fort during the
massacre. He took great interest in
the kindly young lady and learned to
love her.
In the year following the terrible
massacre, on Aug. l6, 1868, the young
couple proceeded to Mankato where
they were joined in the holy bonds of
marriage by Father Sommereisen of
St. Peter and Paul's Catholic Church,
who at that time served the local
Catholic congregation which was,
however, only mission parish.
After the marriage they located at
St. Peter for year and half where
Mr.. Schlumpberger engaged in team
ing and then they returned to New
Ulm. spending about the same length
OF time in this city. In 1866 they took
a homestead in West Newton, upon
which they have since resided con-
tinuously. In spite OF their ripe old
ago, Mr.. and Mrs. Schlumpberger
still enjoy comparatively good health
and they delight in relating their
experiences during the early days in
this locality.
The union was blessed with seven
children, OF whom the oldest, q SOD,
died twenty-three years ago at the age
OF twenty-five. The surviving children
are Mrs. John Hermes, of San Ber.
nardino, CAL; George Schlumpberger
and Mrs. Joseph Mueller of Swanville,
near Little Falls, Mimi; Mrs. Ralph,
Wlnkenwerder of Minneapolis; Chas.
Schlumpberger and Mrs. Anna
Metzen, who live with their parents.
Only the three last.named we're able to
oe present at the anniversary festivi-
Ties Sunday, the other children having
visited their folks recently.
