no assistance from them 1t is possible he thinks

HERALD-DISPATCH GETS NEW
HOME.

The Herald-Dispatch is now located
in the old State Bank building which wax
purchased for new home. On Oct
9TH, 1891 we moved from the little
frame building, north of the First
National Bank building, ling since de
stroyed by fire, to the building then
owned by Rev. Fir. Berghold. of New
Ulm. A short time later the building
was purchased by Fritz Koehne and
six years ago we purchased it from the
heirs. The Herald in June, 1908, merged
with the Dispatch as the Herald Dispatch
and has been regularly issued every week
for y years, 8 months and 80 days, or
1854 times.
The new location will be most admir-
ably adapted for a printing office. The
old part has been repapered and painted
while an addition of solid brick % foot
square has been made, where the cylinder
presses and folder will be placed. With
floor space of 24xS6 and a,large basement
for storage we are able to arrange all our
printing ina way that will serve the public
better. Sleepy Eye Herald Dispatch

ACCIDENT AT GRAND STAND.

A broken ankle, a severe shaking up
and several body bruises are the injuries
received by John Gronau, Jr. last Thurs
day afternoon when he fell from the band
stand in German Park, distance of 20
feet to the ground. An elevator was
being used as a lifting device to carry
material to the top of the scaffold by
means Of a team hitched to a cable. It
was also used by the men at work to
lower themselves to the ground. About
twelve o'clock the man in charge of the
team unhitched and left the ELEVATOR
suspended 20 feet above the ground.
Young Gronau did not know that the
team had been ,unhitched, and as he
wanted to descend, he stepped on the
elevator, released it and was precipitated
with considerable force to the ground
below sustaining the injuries complained
Of. He will be laid up and unable to
work for some weeks.

NEW UIM, BROWN COUNTY. MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY, July

AS this is New Ulm's first popcorn
wagon it is matter of interest. The
equipment is handsome one and while
the wagon cost $3.50 the complete outfit
stands the proprietor as stated above,
$1500.00. 1t is fitted up with two pop
corn peppers, each having capacity of
about one quart Of popped grains. These
peppers look a good deal like enlarged
chatting dishes. In the bottoms of them
are four blades that revolve constantly
and keep the corn from sticking to the
bottom. The power that propels these
blades is generated by steam engine Of
one and half horse power. It is very
dainty little piece of machinery but it is
thoroly capable of not only taking care of
the popcorn blades but also furnishes
the power to revolve the peanut rooster
containing a bushel of the tubers that the
youngsters, and grown-ups as well, find
so toothsome.
The heat for popping the corn and
roasting the peanuts is supplied by
gasoline gas, the wagon containing two
complete generating outfits, one for the
cooking and the other for furnishing the
light in the wagon. There are two tanks
for holding the peanuts, one large one for
the raw tubers and the other for holding
them after they are roasted to a turn.
It is an interesting fact to learn that
after the peanuts are done just right and
dumped into the tank to cool they must
be stirred for some time or they will
continue to roast until they are done
quite too much to please the taste, thus
working or the principle of the fireless
cooker so when you find that your next
peanuts are roasted too thoroly you can
make up your mind that the peanut man
was interrupted in his stirring and it
really isn't his fault at ali but just piece
of bad luck. There is also a nicely
nickeled shelf where the bags OF corn are
stood up in tempting rows and the
windows OF the wagon let down at the
sides so that the odor Of fresh popcorn
| nicely done with butter floats out upon
the air to tantalize the passer-by and
make him yield up nickel or two for a
! bag of popcorn or peanuts for the
kids
The wagon was built by Cretors & Co
of Chicago 1t is finished in bright red
with nickeled furnishings. The upper
half is nearly all glass. It rests or
rubber tired wheels and will be drawn by
horse power if moved. Mr. Jorgensor
has been in this business for two vars
He has rented home and Mrs Jorgen
son and two children will arrive shortly
He expects to run all winter unless il
gets quite too cold to do so.

FORSTER IN OLDFIELD ROLE.

One of the features of the celebration
at Fairmont July 18th, was an automobile
race in which number of cars of various
makes were entered and this race was won
by Theo. R. Forstner of this city, a
second Barney Oldfeld, in one of his 1912
Bucks. Time for the three miles was
4:47.
A much better record in time could
have been made had it not been for the
soft, slow track and hot day. Neverthe-
less the car turned up for the occasion
and the result of the race was a great
victory for both the machine and driver.

ANOTHER NEW INDUSTRY.

Whether New Ulm has tooth for
popcorn sufficiently big to guarantee
dividends on a S1500.00 equipment is a
, question that Myers Jorgenson OF Ro-
i1chester intends to have answered and to
chat end he has installed his fine, new
popcorn wagon at the corner Of Center
and Minnesota Street, just south OF
. Ottomeyers. Mr.. Jorgenson arrived in
New Ulm last Wednesday and that
evening set up in business and thus far
he seems to be satisfied with the amount
Of trade he has had.

COMFREY MAN BUYS POINT
LOOKOUT.

Andrew Steinmetz last week closed a
deal whereby he secures the fine residence
property of the late Otto Schell at New
Ulm, in return for an 8O-acre tract of
farm land in Mulligan.
Having decided to retire from the
farm some time ago, Andrew was in
doubt as to where he would locate, but
finally decided in favor of New Ulm.
where his children will have an opportuni-
ty to attend a good high school, and
where he will be near the old friends of
years ago and not far from his friends
and property in the west end of the coun-
county.
Mr.. Steinmetz expects to take pos
session of his new home in short time.
It is located on the bluff of the Mime
sofa and commands fine view Of the
valley and is one Of the finest places in
New Ulm.
While the friends Of the family regret
their removal from the community. they
are glad to know that their future home
will be equally as pleasant as the one

Getting I. Ready
For The Fair
BIG FREE ACTS OF WILD WEST
VARIETY SECURED FOR
COUNTY MEET.
$1,000. 90 IN PREMIUMS AND PURS.
Es. SEPT. 3--E. FOUR RAG
ING EVENTS.

Things are beginning to stir in agri-
cultural circles and the Brown County
Fair Committees are getting busy with
arrangements for this years fair, which,
OF course, is to be digger and betterthan
ever Judging from the nature Of the
free entertainment that they have
already succeeded in securing, there
should be a big crowd in attendance and
if that proves tobe the case there is little
doubt OF the success of the undertaking.
Farmers will exhibit if they figure that
they will be attending and with large
number Of exhibits secured the difficulties
of last year will be overcome. Business
men should take more interest also and
each one should have booth, not only
for the sake OF helping the fair along but
also for advertising it will give him.
SecreteryE ngelbert announces that the
free acts secured by him will be quite
different from anything held here before.
The program consists of a number Of
acts by ''Broncho John and troupe Of
ten Wild West scouts and riders. One
act pictures sham battle between
Broncho John and band of renegades.
The scout and his broncho are apparently
wounded and the renegades advance
upon them as they lie PROSTATE. Then
the scout turns his rifle loose upon them
and they scatter wildly, some Of them
being wounded and killed. Another act
shows the pony express of olden times
and the dangers and excitements of the
early days of carrying the supplies OF
the country across the plains. Another
pictures the capture Of a horse thief
another cowboy race, and another is an
exhibition of fancy trick riding. These
acts will all be given on the second and
third days of the fair before the races
! begin.
The speed program for this year will
/ be the same as last years. There is
$1200.00 in purses and there will be foul
events. The first days program lists
2:20 pace and 2:35 trot and the second
a 2:3O pace and 2:24 trot. The $1,000
is evenly divided among the events
There will likely be several local horses
in the races to bring the enthusiasm up as
; usual.
The dates Of the fair have been set at
September 3rd, 4th and 9Th. Last year
| the exhibits were fewer in number than
usual because the fair came little too
early for the farmers to take the time to
prepare. 1t is hoped that everyone will
bear the dates in mind this year and be
| ready. There is the usual $150O.0O up
for premiums. The premium lists are
already in course OF preparation and will
be issued during August:

Militia Boys
Coming Tonight
HAVE HAD MANY UNPLEASANT
EXPERIENCES DURING EN-
cAMPMENT.
WATER SUPPLY LIMITED. TY
PHoID VACCINATION MAKES
SEVERAL ILL.

OSly IuluOIS were dllOdC III lie cary
part of the week to the effect that quitx
a number Of cases of typhoid had de
veloped among the troops at Camp
Mccoy. There seems to be nothing
back of this runmor. A telegram adj
dressed by the Review to an officer of the
Second Regiment asking for detailed in
formation about severe sickness among
the boys has been left unanswered. 1t
may not have reached it's destination OF
if it did the party to whom it was adj
dressed may have considered that nc
answer would mean that everything was
moving along smoothly and that there
was no sickness worth mentioning.
Reports from camp have been very
meager. A stray postal card here ana
there is the extent of the news that h8
reached the city. That probably means
that the weather has been too hot and
that the boys were too busy to write
letters.
The Regiment occupies new camp
this year, with the First Minnesota on
its immediate left. The first disappoint-
ment the boys experienced was in the
belated special train which did not reach
Sparta until 3 o'clock in the afternoon
The men detrained under broiling sun.
marched about half mile to the camp
ground, and then helped bring thu
baggage up to the company street. This
was tedious undertaking because of the
scarcity of wagons and it was not until
dark that the pyramidal tents had been
pitched and the men were ready for the
night.
! Another source of vexation were the
numerous breaks in the waterworkx
system. When the water was turned on
it was found that some of the pipes had
not been properly drained for the winter
and that quite number OF the pipes
had burst making it practically inn
possible to use the water, because the
plumbers that were Immediately re-
Questioned to make the necessary re
pairs could not do so in time to make the
water system serviceable during this
encampment. The only water available
for the troops was derived from springs
bordering the creeks and that proved al
times almost inadequate. To be on the
safe side it was boiled before being used
and sentries were placed in charge of the
springs to prevent their becoming con-
taminated.
AS precaution against typhoid the
entire regiment was inoculated with anti
typhoid serum and as result quite a
number of the men were under the
weather for day or more. This and the
oppressive heat for so many days has
made this years encampment harder
service for the boys than they have been
accustomed to in previous years.
The camp of instruction practically
came to close with Mondays ma
neuvers. Yesterday the paymaster was
King OF the camp and by noon to-day the
boys will be on their way home. A re-
ception for them similar to last years, is
being planned. A band of 100 pieces is
expected to be on hand when the train
pulls in and will escort them to thu
armory. Red fire and fireworks galors
will give the return touch of good cheer
and welcome home
