COMMERCIAL CLUB HOME is TO
BE A DANDY.

The new quarters OF the Commercial
Club in the Somsen building are now
rapidly taking form and the club men,
bers can see what they are to enjoy in the
near future. 1t is hoped that the rooms
will be ready for occupancy by the
middle of next month. The fathers have
finished and with favorable weather the
plasterers will have the rooms about
plastered by the end of the week.
From the present indications it would
seem that the ranks of the club should
be considerably augmented by the re-
moval to the new quarters. They will
have much more space and will be more
favofably located. From the big front
windows it is possible to see the entire
length of Minnesota Street as we'll as up
the side streets. From the big, roomy
porch in the rear is seen afine view of the
Minnesota river and the bluffs beyond.
When the rooms are finished and fitted
up with easy chairs and other trouble
chasing appliances it will be harder than
ever for the good wives to keep their men
folks home in the evenings.
The rooms are to be fitted up with all
the comforts of home and many of the
disadvantages of that haven of rest will
be absent. The members are getting
bit anxious to begin operations in their
new rooms. They will certainly be
pleasant.

It is time that / tell you something
about the Exposition but where to begin
is the question. The grounds were
nearly all formerly waste land belonging
to the multi-millionaire Fair estate.
Part Of the land was also occupied by
the Praesidio where the United States

of the sailing and return of the troops

little knowledge he gained of San
Francisco during his stay here then has
been OF service to us in getting about

fair grounds lie along the bay of San
Francisco and this is the reason for the
cold winds that sweep thru the great
courts between the buildings. In the

BUM WEATHER IN JULY.

The monthly report of the weather
would seem to indicate that the weather
man had handed us a pretty punk as
sortment of goods during the Last month.
One single, lonesome, clear day was all
he could serve us. All the rest were
either cloudy or partially So Fifteen
days the sun kept out Of sight entirely
and was loaing sadly on the job for
fifteen more. If that is the best our
weather man can hand us we will have
to fire him and get another.
Comparing this past month with the
records of last year, it would seem to
have been an off month all around. It
was colder and rainier and cloudier and
cusseder in every way. But our local
observer, Alex l.. Henle, declares it
isn't his fault at all. The mean temper
allure for July was 66.43 as compared
with 1887 last year. The highest point
the mercury hit this time was 80 while
last July it made a leap at the top of the
tube that took it clear up to SO. Last
year the lowest point the mercury reached
was 40 and this time it languished
around As and we didn't think anything
of it. Last July was comparatively
dusty with total precipitation of 2.72
inches as compared with 1852 inches
this year. The sun shown unobstructed
seven times as much last year as this
with total Of seven clear days for the
month. ii.
Altogether we find the weather a
mournful topic. And the new month
seems to be starting out worse still. Let
us talk of something cheerful, friends.
How would the European death rate do
for change?

FIRE DEPT. SEE MODEL BLAZE.

Four members of the New Ulm fire
department took the trip to the Cities
last Saturday to see the exhibition of
fancy and staple fire fighting and melo-
dramatic rescue work at the State Fair
grounds when Hotel Ringer, erected
at cost of $4,000, burnt to the ground
in the presence OF an audience of some
thirty thousand people. They were
Chief Henry Engel, Joseph F. Groebner
Herman Nagel and Henry Groebner.
They came back to New Ulm filled with
new ideas on fire fighting and simply
aching for chance to try them out at a
real blaze in our city. When the next
barn gets on fire, watch these men give
Demonstration 81 how the city fell Tvs
go about fire fighting.
I All are agreed that the exhibition of
fire fighting given by the combined de-
partments of Minneapolis and St. Paul
last Saturday was a thing well worth
seeing. That the big building burned
could not be doubted by any one in the
grand stand. It got so hot that it was
necessary to move away to avoid being
scorched by the flames. The whole fire
was a spectacular affair and some fifty
people were saved in thrilling and dra-
matte rescues that demonstrated all the
latest appliances for saving life in fire.
And the big spectacle was not entirely
devoid of danger, either. Two men
were hurt in the excitement. One fire
man was cut badly by the falling glass
and the call for the ambulance was not a
faxed up affair as far as he was con-
cerned. Another fireman had his foot
crushed when the hose wagon ran across
it. Taken all in all it was very realistic
demonstration of the up to date methods
of handling big blaze and was well
worth while.
The demonstration blaze was staged
by the fire departments of the two
cities in an endeavor to raise money to
get the National Firemen's Convention
to the Cities next year. The affair was a
financial success as capacity crowd
filled the big grandstand at the fair
grounds: The fire was preceded by an
interesting program of races and other
athletic events and there was not dull
moment in the whole performance.

the bullets to kill their own kin.

In speaking of the submarine tactics
of Germany, General Pearson declared
that Germany would never think of
abandoning the most effective method
she has yet devised to hamper England.
The submarine campaign is in reality a
retalitory measure against Great Britain
for cutting off Germany's food supply.
In summing up the situation and it's
probable outcome the General said he
would not be at all surprised to see
Norway and Sweden enter the conflict
on the side of Germany. Italy will be
of but little moment in the final solution
Of the war. Poland would at the end Of
the struggle be united nation again
with a German prince on the throne.
England is to be completely humbled by
the Kaiser for her part in the conflict.
At the close of the lecture Prof.
Ackermann read communication asking
for assistance for the German and
Austrian prisoners now held in Siberia.
These prisoners are in dire need of suit
able clothing and money. They have
had no change of clothing since last
September and their garments are in
rags. A meeting was held the previous
evening in Gebser's hall and an effort
is to be made to raise $3.50 for the
sufferers. Clothing is to be sent to the
German and Austro Hungarian ministers
at Washington who will then see that it
reaches it's destination. The clothing
will be shipped free Of charge to San
Francisco and thence VIII be sent to
China and across to Siberia. Collections
will be made in the near future.
