New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1915-03-24
CLUB HEARS LINCOLN EULOGY.
DR.. Deiman Shows Great American.
As Man OF The Common
People.

The special feature of the meeting
OF the mems Club of the Congregational
Church last Thursday evening was
the lecture on Abraham Lincoln delivered
by DR.. Deimann of Minneapolis. This
lecture was to have been given last
month when people are in a more re-
ceptive mood for anything concerning
the great American, but for some
reason it had to be postponed until
Monday evening of this week.
The speaker touched upon how America
has been greatly enriched by European
civilization yet there is something which
is distinctively characteristic of Amer
canism. Americanism has combined in
tuition with the reason of the German
and the instinct of the English. Amer
icanism emphasizes the individual. 1t
does not believe in the super-man but
that all men are created equal and
that the common people when their
hearts have been touched and minds
enlightened are the safest guide in poll
tical matters.
DR.. Deimann said that Lincoln was
a typical American; he embodied
everything for which Americanism
stands. He had marvellous power and
sympathy in understanding the common
people and this he retained all through
his career. The speaker devoted much
Of his time to the religious phase of
Lincoln's life and claimed that neither
the infidel nor the dogmatic Christian
could claim him. He said Lincoln
could clearly forsee his responsibilities
and his religious faith gave him power
and courage to accept and meet these
obligations. He interpreted the will
of God by ascertaining the will of the
common people.
In conclusion DR.. Deimann said
that Lincoln was lover of peace and
taking this as a starting point the speak
er made an eloquent plea for peace.
He said that war at the present time
serves no useful purpose and that all
the warning nations of Europe will
in the end be losers. Their best blood
and brains, the poets, musicians, scien-
lists and others who in time of peace
and in peaceful and obscure manner
have enriched and ameliorated the
conditions of living, are now the victims
of vulgar might. He predicted that
the soldiers at the close of this war
will be asking some very awkward
questions from their respective rulers,
questions which pry deep into condi-
tions of politics and government which
ought not to exist.

EARLY SPRING NUPTIALS.
Observation-Disclosures.

A quiet wedding was solemnized
Thursday morning at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. John L. Hoffman, on South
Broadway when their daughter, Miss
Nellie, was united in marriage to Ben
ja1nin Gedosch of Paynesville, MINI.
The ceremony was performed at II
o'clock by Rev. George Mayer of the
Friedens church. Miss Frieda Hoff-
mann, sister of the bride, was brides
maid and Stanley Hoffman,, brother
acted as groomsman. After the cere-
mony a sumptuous wedding dinner was
served to the bridal party and the i'm
mediate relatives and intimate friends
of the contracting parties. The newly
weds left the same afternoon on the
Northwestern for a short wedding trip
to St. Paul and Minneapolis and from
there will go to Paynesville, where they
expect to Z make their future home.

MINNESOTA STREET DEALS.
Business Property Shows Much Ac-
tivity With Good Values Pre-
vailing.

New Ulm real estate still looks up.
Three deals were made known last
week, which indicate that the faith
of the people in the value of business
property on Minnesota Street has not
-waned particle. Henry N. Somsen
bought the well-known Quense corner,
paying therefor the sum OF $1,000.
Mr.. Somsen considers this good
corner. Altho the price is somewhat
high, he feels that the future prospects
of New Ulm justify the c nsideration
paid.
The New Ulm Rural Telephone Co.
purchased from the Citizens Bank
the old Toberer property, for the sum of
$4,000. This includes not only the
ground itself, but also the use OF the
two walls, so that when the Telephone
Co. get ready to build they will only
have to build the front and the rear
walls. This property has been pur-
chased for the purpose of building an
exchange thereon as soon as this can be
done. No doubt the initial steps for
the erection of a building will be taken
at the next meeting of the Board of
Directors which will be held on April
5th. At the same time that the Tele-
phone Co. purchased the old Toberer
block John H. Forster purchased the
old Citizens Bank building for the sum
of $6850. The steady increase Of Mr..
Forster's business has made it imperative
that he have more room, and for that
reason he purchased this block. Moth
ing will be done at the present time,
because the present tenant has lease
which will not expire for year and a
half, but as soon as the lease has ex-
pired, Mr.. Forster expects tue tilize
this building for his business. If his
present plans do not miscarry, the
upper floor will be used for undertaking
rooms and the ground floor for the
purpose of displaying his furniture to
better advantage than he can do it at
the present time.

Mr.. Schneider has been in the habit
of leaving sos change in tho cash roo;stor

Mr.. Schneider has been in the habit
of leaving $25 change in the cash register
and on this particular evening he had
left the days receipts there also, amount
ing to $3.50 and about 80 cents in
coppers. The place must have been
entered after 1890 Thursday morning,
because at that time night policeman,
John Herzog went by and tried the door
and found that it was locked.
Suspicion rests on three strangers
who were in the city during the day,
two of them called at the cigar store.
One OF them came in about twelve
o'clock with brand new pair of over
alls, worth $1.25 which he sold for
Is cents to laboring man of town.
He had previously tried to sell them
in several other Minnesota Street shops.
The other who was selling coat hangers,
came in two hours later. Both stayed
around the place long enough to become
thoroughly acquainted with the in
terror arrangements.
The short fellow who sold the over
alls, left town early the next morning,
leaving his overcoat behind, and was
noticed about miles out on the Road to
Cambria by parties coming to the city.
James Conway, the man who was selling
the coat hangers was taken into custody
by the police shortly before noon Thurs
day and was searcehd but there was
nothing found on his person to connect
him with the burglary and he was
allowed to go. Sheriff julius left or
the afternoon train for Mankato, in
the hopes of being able to catch the
burglar with the money there but he
was not able to find him and returned
the same evening. From present in.
dications it looks as tho the burglars
had made good their escape.

A MULE is NOT A HORSE.

That mule is not horse. and that
a mule thief is not horse thief was
decided recently by Judge Childress in
the District Court of Waseca County,
in the matter of the application of H..
J. Ost and Bernhard Fisher for 5000
reward for the arrest and conviction of
Geo. Thomas Grear who stole mule.
The Judge holds that Section 5196
is not applicable to the case of a mule
thief. In the memorandum the Judge
says that in his opinion the main object
of the law is to enable the authorities to
act speedily because one who steals a
horse is quite likely to make a speedy
escape, but this would seldom happen
in the case of mule. If one succeeds
in getting mule to go rapidly, it is
something out Of the ordinary. The
same reason applies if he is stolen from
some place other than his own. He will:
go home cheerfully and freely enough
but he generally has his own. notions
about going the other way. This,
the judge hopes, will not be taken as q.
libel OF the mule. In his opinion the
law must be construed strictly and as it
does not mention mule thief he feels
that no money should be paid out Of the
Public treasury for that purpose.
