OLD PIONEER VISITING HERE.

To-day the city of New Ulm has as
a guest one of the defenders who has not
been here for So years. He is dis
tinguished defender and is one of the
six who survived the murderous attack
on the accommodating party which was
ambushed near the present Loretto
Hospital on August 10, 1862. There
are only two of that brave band left
to-day, Samuel McAnliffe of Rochester,
N. Y. and Luther Ives who spends most
of his time with his son at Tracy.
Mr.. McAnliffe arrived in the city last
night with Mrs. K. E. Mo of Minneapolis
with whom he had visited for few
days prior to coming here. He was
a close personal friend Of the late Capt.
George. Mr. McAuliffe is past "a
years Of age, white-haired, and a quiet,
unobtrusive man. In 1862 he was in
the Federal army but was on sick leave.
He came to Minnesota to recuperate,
making the trip to New Ulm on the
Jeanette Roberts, +" little light-draught
stern-wheel steamer that piled between
St. Paul and New Ulm. Mr.. McAnliffe
comes back to New Ulm just 81 years
to day after the ambush from which
he so miraculously escaped. He plans
to 60 to TT. Ridgely tomorrow to be
present at the dedicatory exercises of
the unwilling of the monument erected
in honor Of a Chippewa Chief. He will
stay here several days to look over the
old stamping ground and will be pleased
to meet the old defenders. He is stopping
at the F. III. Behnke home.

from death or at least from serious
injury must be considered almost mira
culous. They started off in Emil Hayes
Cadillac" for Joy ride and had passed
over the railroad crossing on the road to
the Meter, bridge when the accident
happened. They were going a pretty
good clip and had gotten off the main
Travelled track at about the point where
the road turns off to the left to the stone
quarries, when Chick Williams tried
to get back on the grade. He made too
sharp turn for the speed at which he
was going and realizing that, he tried
to slow down. In the excitement he
must have pulled the throttle wide open,
and in the next moment, the car turned
turtle and Kruger was pinioned under
it, the car resting on his chest. Williams
was thrown out but was unhurt. He
came to the rescue of his friend and by
almost superhuman efforts, lifted the
car from his comrades chest about Is to
20 times before Fred Thiede came along
in his car and came to his assistance.
Only few minutes transpired from the
time of the accident until Mr.. Thiedes
arrival. BY the united efforts of Will
liams, Thiede and the women folks that
were in the Thiede car, they managed
to extricate. Kruger from his perilous
position and he was Immediately taken
to town by Mr.. Thiede. Kruger was
quite badly bruised but was only laid
up for few days. The fender, wind
shield and steering wheel of the "Cadil-
lac" were smashed and one side of the
seat. was cracked. The damages will
hardly exceed $4,000.

Turner Theatre
Opening Early
SPLENDID ATTRACTIONS sScHE-
DULED FOR COMING
SEASON.
BROADHURST'S FAMOUS COME
DY, "AFOoL AND HIS MONEY"
HEADS LIST.

Judging from the bookings already
made the approaching season at New
Ulm's leading playhouse will be
the best ever. The initial offering is
announced for next Sunday evening,
when those sterling artists, Guy and
Constance Caufmann, assisted by a
carefully selected company, will present,
for the first time here, "A Fool and His
Money" This is the comedy that
started George Broadhurst on his way
to fame and, like all the other farces
from the pen of that clever writer, has
never failed to please. The New York
Journal says it is comedy of the purest
and keenest fun.
The management of the Turner Thea
tire also announces that they have
completed arrangements to play the
musical comedy, Minstrel and Vaude-
vile road shows of the Ned Alvord
Corporation of Chicago. AS far as
possible these shows will be offered at
intervals of one week on the same day
of every week. A popular price OF
admission will prevail, the best seats
commanding only fifty cents while
others may be had for half that sum.
The object is to invite filled houses at
reasonable scale rather than empty
houses at high priced scale. All OF the
shows will carry companies of eighteen
to twenty people and will be complete
productions both as to scenic and cleo
trical effects. In fact all of the at
fractions will be up to the standard q
any heretofore provided at double7thet
price of admission. The first one will
be seen here Sunday, September 18th
From that date on every Sunday, with
a few exceptions, will mark the visit Of
one of the shows until the entire series
has been played.
"The .Spendthrift,' a high class pro.
duction, from the pen of Emerson
Browne, comes to the Turner Theatre
on Sunday evening, Sept. goth. The
play will be produced here by C. S
Primrose, who last year gave us "The
Thief"

ANOTHER BOOSTER TOUR.

Elated with the unprecedented success
of the first tour thru the County, the
New Ulm boosters are planning on
another tour which will prove larger
trip than the Brown County tour and
for that reason the hour for the start
has been fixed at z o'clock a. m. with
the Dakota House as the starting point.
This was decided at directors meeting
of the Commercial Club held Monday
afternoon and Tuesday, August 25th
was selected as the date for the trip.
Charles Vogtel was constituted a COM
.mittee OF one to hire the band and secure
the necessary transportation for them.
All auto owners who intend to join the
party are to report to AL. Stork and he
will work up the necessary enthusiasm
to get a sufficient number of cars. In
this tour each auto owner is to invite
those business men whom he wishes to
carry. The tour as planned now will
carry the boosters thru Evan, Morgan,
Redwood Falls, Morton, Franklin, Fair
fax, Gibbon, Winthrop, Lafayette,
Klossner and then home. Dinner will
be eaten at Redwood Falls and supper
at Winthrop. With the exception of
the meal stations half hour concert
will be given at each stopping place.
Albrecht Stork, J. A. Ochs and F. III.
Behnke are the committee on arrange.
ments and they will see to it that the
attendance is satisfactory and the tour
a bowling success.

Last Friday the II year old son of
Martin Sorbel Of the Town Of Lake
Hanska received severe injuries to his
eyes when some gunpowder that he was
playing with exploded. He was inn
mediately brought to the hospital where
he is doing nicely. It is not thought
that his eye sight will be impaired.

gether, giving them a chance to become
better acquainted, an opportunity to
learn to understand one another. He
declared that practically all the quarrels
of the world, from the least squabble
to the gigantic present day feud in
Europe are all to be traced to misunder-
standings arising from lack of know
ledge of one another. A community
can grow only when there is harmony
among it's constituents and Mr.. Johnson
declared his conviction that the as
.sembling of such numbers of citizens
as come together at the Park Concerts
is sure to rebound to the welfare of the
city and it's people by fostering the COM
munity instinct and by dispelling the
impulse to hold aloof from one another.
For all of these reasons, the speaker
pointed out, the dedication OF the band
stand is a fitting way to recognize its
significance and to express the appre-
citation of the citizens to the Park
Boards, present and past, the City
Council, the founders of the city
who made early provision for Parks and
all others who have had a hand in
providing the benefits named.
An intermission followed Mr.. Johnson's
speech and then the second half of the
concert numbers were given. There
will be a Past Season Concert next Sun
day evening.
The band stand is an unusually fine
structure. It is much more substantial
than such buildings commonly are, being
constructed of rough stone and masonry.
1t is very handsome also and we'll repre-
sents the German spirit of building fol-
permanency and satisfaction, regardless
of initial cost. The foundation, some
feet high is of solid rock and cement
The base measurements are 3Ox3O
The floor and pillars are Of cement. The
upper portion provides more than EMU
room for seating a much larger band
than even the Second Regiment unit
and leaves opportunity for expansion
1t is completely screened and brightly
lighted with overhead globes, giving it thu
appearance of some enormous sparkling
jewel in it's setting of deep green among
the trees. The roof supports are finished
in stucco and the colors used are red:
and browns. The structure complete
cost approximately $1600.00, and wa.
erected by John Gronau. Within thu
foundation is large storage room which
will be utilized for storing the parl
benches.
The new reservoir in the Park is alst
completed and looks very well. How
ever, it will be priced by New Ulmite
not so much for it's beauty as for it
utility. Every one is anxious to have
an opportunity to drink the pure, sweet
water to which the city was accustomed
before the trouble with the wells begar
and the reservoir promises to provide
"safe" water without chemical treatment
The reservoir will contain $4,000 gallons
and will probably be filled this week
The Circular Concrete Co. of Mime
apolis had the contract for the job bu
sublet it to August Puhlmann. TIL
cost to the city was $3.50.

I'VE are standing on the defensive
on q 125-mile battle line and because
we have been spoiled by q rapid Sc
ries Of victories many are unable to
realize that defense. under certain
circumstances Is as justified as an Of
fensive.
1--WE have learned little concerning
the situation but we can point to some
successes such as the repulse of the
French night attacks and the fact that
the French have succeeded neither in
outflanking the retiring right or break
ing through the front.
The abandonment of our original
positions between Paris and Berdun
for strategic reasons is in itself moth
ing momentous. In many days Of bat
tie and shifting positions final results
alone are important. So long as the
battle continues undecided with the
possibility of throwing in fresh troops
drawing near, while the enemy has ex-
hausted himself by repeated attacks,
the German chances are better than
those of the Anglo-French."

At the close Of the present conflict
in Europe its heroes will receive from
their countries decorations and crosses
honoring them for their valor and
bravery. Soldiers Of whatever rank
who have displayed great heroism are
almost Invariably distinguished in this
way. England's Victoria Cross, France
way. England's Victoria Cross
Frances Military Medal. Prussias S Iron
are all worn by those who, in fightine
for their country, have done especial
ly noble things.
In France the Military Medal is
most commonly awarded the soldier
in the ranks who has shown unusual
heroism. 1t is seldom won by an
officer, but is none the less regarded
by Frenchmen as greater honor
than the Cross Of the Legion OF
Honor. In Germany the Iron Cross
mas been an institution since the War
of Liberation in 1913. 1t is a Maltese
cross OF iron, silver-edged and bear
ing the initial W. for the present
emperor, replacing the old F. w. for
stowal of it upon the crown prince
by the kaiser was the first occasion
Of the sort since 1871. Duke Albrecht
Of Wurtemburg was also recently Sd
honored.
In Germany soldiers Of the rank re-
ceive in addition to the Iron Cross an
allowance Of from 75c to $1.50
monthly.
England's Victoria Cross was
founded in 1856 by Queen Victoria and
unlike the Military Medal of France
it Is usually given to the officers. Pri-
Yates, however. are at times honored
with 1t. It, is remembered that the
queen herself, in the. last year of her
reign, pinned it upon the tattered
jacket OF a Scottish piper who had
distinguished himself in the fierce en-
sagement of Darbai in India. It is
simply designed with the inscription
For Valor" on it, bearing a red rib
bon for army men and blue one for
the sailors.
The Cross Of st. George, Russia S
EN- blem, Is not unlike the Victoria
Cross of England. There are two
distinct ones. however. one for officers
and one for privates. It was flrst
founded in 1859 and later revived in
1907. In its center is red medallion
showing st. George and the dragon.
