On the list are the names of many we'll
known farmers and townspeople In
the Women's Department there were
many more entries than usual this year
and there are hundreds of names in that
department which occupies more than
third of the entire list. This is of course,
chiefly the needlework display but the
Pantry Store department brought out
a goodly number of contestants also.
In the latter list are to be found the
names of some of the famous cooks of the
city, among the prize winners being Mrs.

elected Treasurer of the Electric Novelty
Company which recently recognized by
electing G.. III. Dirks, president; Carl
Jaeger, vice. president; A. I. Otter,
secretary and Mr.. Behnke, treasurer
and decided to remove their plant to
New Ulm. The officers of the concern
experienced considerable trouble in
finding suitable place to begin operation
in but finally last week they rented the
Star Hall which gives them 2, 625 feet Of
floor space. This if the business picks up
will be large enough, however, to begin
operations in and by running two shifts,
a day and night shift, the mana cement
hopes to be able to fill all the orders that
will have to be taken care of during the
coming year.
A single order for 100000 batteries has
already been received and booked by
the Company and other orders are now
being negotiated. The outlook so far
seems very promising. For the present

anything in the novelty line, except to
manufacture batteries for such as may
desire them. The matter of the FEAST
bility of assembling different kinds of
electrical novelties here will be taken up
later when the plant is well under way.
The machinery which is now owned by
the company has a daily capacity Of
$500 batteries. 1t is located at Mime
apolis and will be shipped to New Ulm
at once and ought to be installed and
ready for operation within the next two
weeks. Louis Loose will be the manager
of the local plant. He is one of the
stockholders and is thoroly conversant
with the work. Thus Star Hall which
has been a place of amusement for the
young people for more than 20 years
gives way to manufacturing concern.
A farewell dance has been arranged to
celebrate its passing which will take place
next Saturday. Wartha's band will
furnish the music for the occasion.

war with all it's sorrow, it's loss of life and
property will not have been in vain.
Colossal catastrophes are somtimes

people to the utter nonsense of existing
conditions. Let us hope that this catas-

will bring beneficent results. Should we
be mistaken, should our hopes and desires
fail to materialize, do not let us lose
courage, let us keep on in the struggle for
liberty and libertarian rights
