as was last year the case when the
Pfefferle, -Eihner, .Satfert aud Ochs
ouildings were remodeied. The first
to announce their plans for improve.
ments along Minnesota Street are
Emil Metzingeri and G, A. ,Ottomeyer.
Both OF them contemplate chiefly the
enlarging OF their display windows
out on such an extensive scale that
The cost will amount to at least $1,000
IN each case.
Mr.. Metzinger is occupying the store
building owned by J. +. Neunaun
and known as the longest mercantile
building in the city. His clothing
stock does not require the space that
= line OF general dry goods does. For
that reason it would be more profit
aoie for him to have part of the sur.
plus length transformed into display
windows. Mr.. Neumann who still
owns the property feels that it should
be kept abreast of the times and be
and the occupant are figuring On in
stalllng the very latest fashion Of
store front, the arcade design. The
glass in these fronts will be curved
and the windows will have depth vi
some fourteen or sixteen feet. Wei
landt 4 Stegemann are drawing the
plans and specifications and it is estl.
mated that the cOst,.may reach $500
altho that is not definitely known as
yet. The work will be started at the
earliest possible moment.
For some time G. A. Ottomeyer has
been contemplating making changes
in his store front which will give him
DETER and more attractive show
windows. This Improvement wuulu
have been made last year, if be had
been able to get the contractors to d ,
the work. To be absolutely sure that
the work will be pushed as soon as
building operations can begin, Mr..
Ottumeyer is starting in thus early to
have the preliminary work taken care
OF. Mr.. Heers is now at work getting
the plans and specifications ready for
d modern show window of the very
atest design. For the present only
The corner show window will be re
modelled. This will mean an expen-
dlture of approximately $1,000. If
conditions are favorable the other
show windows may be remodeled this
year also. Mr.. Ottomeyer tells the
Review that he is not going to have q
corner entrance, til at the entrance will
be on Minnesota Street as it now is.

Few Victimized.

When Joseph Davis drifted into
town the early part of last week from
Chicago according to his own story,
he learned for the first time that New
Ulm was in the throes of q typhoid cpl
demic and that gave him an idea. The
next that was heard of Davis he was
posing as the renowned DR.. Harry
Perry who claimed to be possessed of
q valuable and sure disinfectant
against typhoid germs. The first init.
NATION that the police had of the
presence of the man and his opera
tions was when Rev. Wheeler called
up the police department. and told them
about it. Chief Klause immediately
got busy, located his man and told
him to quit his game and get out of
town. Chief Klause believed that the
man had obeyed his orders ana heard
nothing further until Friday. Then
the Health Officer told him that some
one who gave himself out as a repre-
sentative Of the State Board of Health
was making a house to house cam
paign on North German Street.
Word had come to Or. Seifert from
Joseph 8ianchi anu John Schmidt
whose homes had been visited by the
pseudo representative. Chief Klause
was wise at once, located his man at
the Northwestern Hotel and had the
night police go down after him and
lock him up. The next morning (Sat)
he was arraigned before N Henning-
sen on the charge of drunkenness and
fined $40 and costs which he was ~un-
able to pay and he went to jail for 10
days. It is not the intention to prose.

The method of worxing his graft,
was simple one. He called at the
back door as a representative of the
State Board and explained the dangers
of typhoid. He then produced small
bottle which according to his explana.
ton, contained solution which If in
jected into the beds and pillows OF the
home. would positively keep away the
dreaded typhoid. This precious pre-
paration was analysed and found 10

a small amount of other ingredients
which as disenfectant are absolutely
worthless. The strangers charges
were net always the same. He would
take about as much as the people
would stand for, the prices ranging
from 81 so TO $500. Solar as is known
only six persons we're victimized by
him. The party that was held up for
$500 had the pleasure of having So 90
of this amount returned to him by
Chief Klause who had in some manner
located the money. The fake doctor.
according to Klause, is either dope
6end or an habitual drunkard and is
about SIS years old. He was shabbily
dressed and lacked the air of pros
perity that is necessary to work
"graft" successfully
