School Building Burns

The Lincoln schoolhouse caught
fire Friday morning and 10 total
loss. Fire was discovered shortly BE-
fore 10 o'clock and the teachers
marched the children out 70 safety
without the least difficulty. People
living in the vicinity saved most of
the books and much of the furniture.
The fire department was soon on the
scene and encountered some difficulty
in securing water, the first hydrsnt
being frozen aud some time was lost
in making connections At the next
hydrsnt.
The destroyed building was of brick
veneer construction and has been con-
sidered fire trap. It was built nearly
twenty-five years ago and was two
story structure with four class rooms.
The fire had apparently started over
the boiler and was communicated to
the wooden partitions. Considerable
hesdwsy has been made before the
alarm was turned in.
The loss 10 partially covered by In
sursnce to the amount of $500.
The pupils attending the school will
report at the Central building We'd

be made for them at the Washington

That Ubiquitous Ghost.

Tho "Ghost" story grows by leaps
and bounds until . goodly number ol
New Ulm's fairer sex hesitate abou,
going about alone after dusk falls,
The ph anton is seen here, there and
the other place, and strange to say
the accounts of what he, (she or it?)
looks like quite generally tally with
one another and lend color to the
belief that someone is very foolisbly
tempting fate by playing pranks. One
of our citizens on going to, bed saw
his "Ghostly Highness" (all accounts
agree that the specter is exceedingly
tally emerge from the alley back OF
Postmaster Liesch's residence and
turn into Washington Street, Sunday
evening, gliding along in most ap-
pro we'd ghostly fashion. Others have
seen him appear, wraith-like, from
the rear of Buenger's furniture store.
One young woman going home along
German Street was terror stricken by
seeing what she believed was the dis
turbing creature. =, This latter a6.
venture however was explained away
by those who ssid the girl had seen
the moon shining on q pile of ice
Another story had it that one of our
brave young men had chased the
ghost and heaved q stone at it, where.
upon the ghost lesped fence in quite
human fashion. Persistent rumors
Monday and Tuesday had the ghost
lodged in the County Jail but If there
he must be q real ghost for our
sheriff declares that the ghost is in
visible to him. Equally persistent
rumors said the ghost had been caught
by someone and given q good
drubbiug before being turned over to
Landlord Julius. A number of the
North State Street residents where
the ghost seems to make himself most
numerous are said to be prepared 10
give the offender q warm reception.
It is our opinion that the imprudent
night walker will quietly cease bis
prsnks and disappesr-as indeed
would be the wlsest course considering
the satisfactory excitement he has
succeeded in stirring up.

JuveniIe Court Needed Here

Concrete proof that Supt. Merica OF
the Training School was correct i'd .
statement made At his recent lecture 10
Nov Ulm that children are forced into
crime by the. prevailing social and
economic conditions wss furnished
Thursday morning when Eugene
Small, . lad not quite l3 years old

statement that he stole Sl5 from q
woman and used this money to defrsy
his expenses to New Ulm where be
arrived January 10th. he is bright
little fellow snd made . very favorable
impression on the various persons
that be called on. Two of our business
men were so fsvorably impressed that
they were planning to find home for
the boy and send him to school but
the escapades OF the young fellow ss
they were related in Justice Court
preciuded any such action on the part
of our good citizens.
1t appeared from tho testimony that
the BOY took $3.50 from his grand.
father, B. Marschner, o. so of which
he blew in on . slot machine. He
also took q watch from Scheer, the
furrier, . compass and other articles

elusive that City Justice Deters could
not do otherwise than enter IN order

The pickle crop this year was just
one-tenth as large as 1t was last sea-
son. The severe drouth Of the past
weeks has done untold harm to both

and 1t IL said that the entire crop was
exceedingly small. The dry weather
came just at the time when the pickles
did not have q good chance to form.
Then the dry weather continued until
the vines were dried up and as a re-
suit the pickle factory in this city is
experiencing considerable difficulty in
meeting demands for sweet and dill
