PARK BOARD SUBMITS REPORT

New Ulm's efficient Park Board SUBJ
.mitted their report to the City council
this week showing that $l406.98 was ex-
pended in the upkeep Of the system dur
ing the year Just past and asking for an
appropriation Of approximately $2S25.
to carry them thru the season now at hand
The greater part Of this appropriation is
needed for a new band stand. The Board
also recommends paying the Band $500.
for concerts in place of $500.
An additional $500. for miscellaneous
supplies is asked and $500 for more bench
.es. SIS is asked for flowers this summer
where $40. was spent last season. An i
TEN of 1853. II for plumbing and fountain
will not, be required this year.
The term Of NJ enningsen expires at this
time and a new appointment must be
made. The rest Of the report follows here
with:
We find that the old Band Stand in
adequate and entirely too small to house
the End Regiment Band as now consti-
tuted, their number being 40: it is our
purpose to build one OF concrete large
enough for present and future needs.
Plans have been drawn and we expect to
let the contract in the very near future
when the necessary plans and specifica-
tiorls have been fully completed and
| found satisfactory. It is orr ain, tn have
this accomplished by the time the Con-
cert Season begins. Our Park Concerts
have proven so extremely popular with
our citizens THAT it is but common justice
to them to arrange for good music and
adequate facilities. We are fortunate in
having our End Regiment Band.

IN READINESS FOR THE BROWN
COUNTY FAIR"

Last night the dress rehearsal for the
Musical Comedy to be staged tonight
under the name ''The Brown County
Fair" at Turner Hall was held and the
performers feel quite ready to greet the
public this evening. With all the prepa-
rations that have been made there is no
question OF the merit OF the entertainment
and with the talent that has been secured
for the event there is less question as to
the success OF the performance. All Of
the choruses have been carefully trained
for the past two weeks and there was not
a hitch at the rehearsal last night. Every
thing went off, in form that left nothing
to be expected. Those who are to take
the leading parts have been earnestly at
work and have perfected themselves in
the art of barking out the virtues of
circus lemonade or Of telling how high the
elephant can jump the fence. All of the
green-eyed monsters and the snake
charmerswill be there and their wonders
will be lauded from the stunps as the
country lads and lassies from the corn
fieldscome and go in delight. The farm
er boys in their homespuns and their new
trousers made by cutting down pair of
fathers old ones will be there. Their
coats may have an affection for their ell
bows and they may need sugar on their
shoes to coax their trousers down, but
they will make a good time for all who
are going to hear them. There is a laugh
in every turn and the turns are numerous.

WINFIELD SCOTT HAMMOND

AS their answer to the states demand,
growing out of the states grave need for a
man Of caliber, force and capacity to be
it's governor, the Democrats present the
name and person OF Winfield Scott Ham
mond of St. James.
This action was the flower and fruit of
the state mass meeting OF Democrats-a
gathering highly impressive in the charac-
ter Of those who participated in it, in the
harmony that prevailed outside the brief
excitement created by microscopic sim
cerety of purpose that characterized its
deliberations and it's actions.
In MIR. Hammond the Democracy Of
Minnesota presents candidate without a
stain-a man who has proved his good faith
his sincerity and his loyalty to truly DEM
ocratic ideals by his service in the congress
of the United States, and, above all,
by his unrenitting zeal in support OF the
splendid program that is making the adj
ministration of Woodrow Wilson a shin
ing star OF hope.
He is a candidate whom men may fol-
low with good heart and good conscience
| whether they be members Of his particu-
lar political party or not. The states
need of real leader is wider and higher
and deeper than any partisan considera-
ton. MIR. Hammond sound Democracy
is: important in this connection, only
because it means that he will be the Dem.
ocratic choice; at the primaries, and thus
Twill be registered in the list OF those from
whom the people will chooseain Novena-
Der. It is incredible that the Democrats
would be so stupid as not to nominate
him by an overwhelming majority.
After that, the only figure partisan
ship can possibly cut in the contest is that
the issue of partisanship will be raised a.
gainst Mr.. Hammond by his opponents,
in the hope that by mere partisanship
they can make up for the lack of merit in
their own candidate.
Mr.. Hammond is big man, broad
man, an outstanding, straight-hitting, ap-
pealing figure that will commend itself
nightly to the rapidly increasing number
OF men who realize that what this state is
in need of is not that this party or that
may triumph, or that this faction or that
may prevail, but that it's people, without
regard to partisarship, shall elect to the
governorship a real man who will be real
leader, and who will conduct the state
out of the tangle of waste, extravaganza,
neglect and servitude to special interests
that now afflicts it.
The Democrats in mass convention have
chosen wisely and we'll: and they have,
moreover, gone on record in ringing set
OF resolutions that 60 straight to the point
and hurl the gauntlet Of defiance squarely
at the feet of the forces of reaction, be-
trayal and neglect that now hamper the
states growth and development.
Thru the candidacy OF Winfield Scott
Hammond, Minnesota is offered an open
highway out OF the wilderness.-Duluth

An explanation Of the flag flying at the
courthouse may be due at this time. In
trying to lower it after election day, the
rope slipped off che pulley and that pre-
vented its being taken down completely.
It will be necessary to have some one
climb up the flag pole and put the rope on
the pulley and Auditor Vogel is keeping
his weather eye open for the daring one. s
John Kennedy of Virginia, MINI, and
J. P. Smith were in the city last week for
the purpose of looking over the field here
with view to the establishment Of a gas
plant. So many gas propositions have
been before the people of New Ulm with
out securing gas plant for the city
that the Review is not willing to raise the
hopes Of the citizens by saying at this
time that the gentlemen in question will
install gas plant. The out look is fa-
vorable if the promoters can secure sat
isfact Dry franchise.

| When Charles Bierbaum Of Tracy was
in the city last week, he purchased the
bowling alleys from the New Ulm Bow
ling Association for the sum of $3.50. The
alleys originally cost over $1,000 and for
quite while the members took keen
interest in the sport and business was SO
good the first year that dividend of %
per cent was declared. Then the spirit
of cooperation died out OF the association
and in short time the interest in this
healthy sport had waned to such an ex-
tent that it did not pay to keep up the
bowling alleys and they were taken up
and stored in the Fullerton Lumber
| Co. sheds where they have been for the
past six years. Tracy will, no doubt
make better use Of them than New Ulm

AND THERE WAS LIGHT.

No one in New Ulm, least Of all the
Publisher of the Brown County Journal,
helieves that the New Ulm Review had
sMy Intention OF hiding the truth from
tine people of the city. When the truth
ma the matter OF the city's accounts is
Hnowaa TO use, we will tell our readers
without any suffering. That is what the
Review is published for, to tell the truth
emallinchingly, whether it concerns friend
eS foe,so long as the matter to betold con-
rssrns the public. Any shortage in the ac-
saos1nts of the city is a matter which touch
rs every taxpayer in the city and If any
Ciae has been pilfering from the funds, all
thac will be told in good time, when the
charges have been substantiated. But
the Review will not be guilty of so foul an
:ss<t as to brand man, either friend OF foe,
xs q thief until he is proven one.
TEEat sort Of dirty journalism is left to the
E&eseh organs.
as to the defense5offered that there was
sso malice in the action Of the papers own
ed by Philip Liesch, we can only say that
even the friends of Mr.. Liesch know that
the motive that .actuated the blazoning
Smth over the entire state of crime that
va:ss only suspected, was the punishment
esf a man who is not friendly to Mr.. P.
Hieseh. 1t is common talk about the
suwE that if Mr.. Liesch had been so fond
sf publishing the truth as he claims to be-,
certain sensational news would have APP
E1eased in his papers four years ago this
spring, when instead there was a strange
silence observed by the Liesch mouth
pieces.
