FOURTH ANNUAL EVENT PRONES
A WINNER. ALEX HENLE
GETS DEER.
MORE THAN A THOUSAND AT
TEND THE DOINGs AT FAIR
GROUND SUNDAY.

A crowd, cOnservatlvely estimated II
1900, attested to the popularity Of the
turkey shoot annually held at the
Fair Grounds. As usual there was
quite large contingent from the neigh
boring villages all coming in autos and
some 20 cars were parked on the grounds
The neighboring towns represented were
Springfield, Sleepy Eye, CORTLAND, Com
frey, Hanska, Fairfax and st. James
For this festive occasion Wartha's hand
of z pieces had been engaged and they
contributed materially to the merrjment
and good cheer visible on every hand
The arrangements for this affair were
in the hands of General Crone, Corpl
ALI. J. Vogel and Priv. w. E. Engelbert.
A sufficient number of orderlies had
been appointed so that at no time wa.
there. hitch in the proceedings. The
Hasenpfeffer was excellent and the
supply was soon exhausted. The cuIi-
nary department is entitled to great
deal of credit for the manner in which
the eats were prepared and served.
Three wheels of fortune were N
operation from 1870 to p. M and quite
a number of turkeys, ducks and geese
were disposed of in this manner. Rifle
experts were busy in the improvisea
shooting galleries, aiming deliberately
at the targets to make. the high score
that would carry off the coveted turkey.
duck or goose. In all about 9Ovturkeys
100 ducks and IS geese were disposed of.
The rattle of the deer donated by the
Schen Brewing Co. proved the most
exciting event this year as usual. I'm
fortunately the time for disposing of the
tickets for the rattle was too short TO
enable the committee to dispose Of all Of
them, but the interest was nevertheless
intense. Number sol was the lucky
one and Alex Henle of the Pioneer Drug
Store held the ticket. Alex has not
fully decided what to do with the deer
He is seriously considering the adviss-
bility Of starting deer park of his own,
but he may eventually listen to the
entreaties of his friends whose mouths
are watering at the thought of venison
steak.
Not only in a social but also in
financial way the 4th annual turkey
shoot was huge success. Secy. Engel-
bert of the Fair Association estimates
the net surplus to- be between $3.50 and
$500. This is, of course, not sufficient
to build the much needed grandstand but
it is hoped that it will prove sufficient
encouragement to the Association to go
ahead with the improvement next year
and have it complete and ready for the
next and biggest fair Brown County has
ever held.

MILL GIVES FLOUR FOR BEL
GUM.

The Miller's Belgian Relief Movement
has been organized with the advice Of
and in cooperation with the Central
Committee Of the Belgian Relief Fund
of Washington and the American Am
bassador in London.
I It purposes collecting 80, 900 barrels of
flour of the approximate value Of a half
million dollars, one-han to be contributed
by the general public and one-haH by the
millers.
The railroads have agreed to transport
this -four to Philadelphia without any
charge, while the cost of the ocean
transportation SAL ,000-has been con-
tributed by few individuals.
The British and German Govern
ments have consented to the arrange
ment, thus insuring its safe carriage and
delivery.
! In response to the call for aid for the
Belgians the Eagle Roller Mill Company
has donated a car Of -four which will be
sent as soon as the entire shipload is
made up. Millers all over the country
are taking part in this movement and the
ship will no doubt be promptly filled.
The State Committee in charge Of the
soliciting of this aid has been in other
places asking the citizens to donate the
prize Of sack Of -four and farmers have
been asked to bring a bushel Of wheat to
the mill to be ground but the Review has
given no publicity to this movement for
the reason that so much has already
been pledged here Tor Relief Work that
it seemed like asking too much. The
Eagle Mill felt the same way and for
that reason decided q give the -four

for the County Road and Bridge Fund
when the Board met in July but that
after that estimate was submitted, the
Board had established Highway No. 81,
involving about $55,000.00 for the con-
struction of the road and he felt that an
additional levy of $12,O0O.0O would be
required to carry the work on properly.
After considering the matter, roll call
was taken and CONS. Steinke and
Erickson were found voting against the
levy, with the other three Commissioners
favoring it.
The petitions filed by the towns of
Eden, Prairieville, North Star, Burns
town and Mulligan during 1894 were
reconsidered and rejected. These petit
tions dealt with aid wanted for road
improvements.
1t was resolved that the Board should
investigate and secure options upon all
gravel pits along State Rural Highway
No. 81. The villages Of Springfield and
Golden presented resolutions asking
that State Rural Highway No. 81 be
laid out in accordance with certain plans
and specifications which would include
said villages along the line of the High
! way, representing that the streets and
roads recommended would form: direct
connecting link and that all of same
were more than so feet wide. Both
resolutions were adopted and recon-
mended by the Board to the State High
way Commission.
! The proper committee reported that
the bridge work contracted for in
Mulligan had been completed and that
the County Auditor should be authorized
to issue warrant in the sum of $491.80
to reimburse the town, this amount
being the County's share for the con-
struction of said bridge A similar
report was filed for the Towns Of North
Star and Stately, the County's share
in the former instance being $674.OO and
$1364.S8 in the latter where two bridges
j were constructed.
On motion it was resolved that an
additional 5000 be set aside from the
general fund for the purpose Of paying
for additional clerk hire in the County
Auditors Office. "A
After auditing bills amounting to
$5614!Ss and reading and approving

) FACTION. ASSESSMENTS
ARE LEVIED.

No quorum was present Friday TO
the adjourned meeting of the city coun
Gil and another adjournment was made t,
the following evening. This meeting wa
primarily called for the purpose of act
ing on assessments made by the Board O
Public Works. The minutes of tn
Board were read showing the assessment
made for the grading, crawling an,
boulevarding of Washington Streee
from 5th to 18th South Streets and for tn
assessments for sewer and water con
nections at Lot 2 Block 68 North. Th'
assessments as reported were unani
mously confirmed and the propert,
owners assessed were given the option
Of paying the same in five yearly annua
installments, deferred payments TO draw
interest at the rate of per cent pei
annum.
The only other matter taken up BY
the council was with reference to thu
engine lately installed at the electric
light station. The engine is manufac.
tured by Mcintosh and Seymour o.
Auburn, New York and was sold to the
city and installed by the Union Machine
Company of Minneapolis. It has never
worked quite satisfactorily and for that
reason the city has refused to accept il
or pay the $4,000 still owing thereon
Experts have been here at different
times to remedy the trouble and last
week another expert of the company
was here. He claims that the engine
is now working satisfactorily. To Mr.
Mueller who is in charge of the plant,
the noise at times produced by the engine
while working, sounds suspicious and
he has so far refused to recommend its
acceptance. To be on the safe side the
council directed the electric light com.
mittee and Superintendent Mueller to
60 to the Cities and confer with some
consulting engineer and if possible, have
him come to New Ulm to look things
over and have him say whether the
Company has a right to demand an
acceptance and payment Of the amount
due.

declared that Georgetown heartily ap-
proves OF the construction of new
bridge over the Potomac river. with
the location of its District terminus at

Further Meetings Unlikely.
A proposition to make the resolution

voted down. After the meeting 1t was
informally said by number of those
present that there is little likelihood
of any more meetings being held to
discuss the matter, and that the advice
given by Mr.. Mackey is deemed wise.
In his address Mr.. Mackey said that
he knows two members of the House
committee on interstate commerce,
which committee has control of bridges
over interstate waters, such as the Po-
tomac river. and that from conversa-
tions with these members of the COM
mittee he is convinced that the COM

appropriation for a new bridge will be
expended at any site east of 34th
