New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1916-11-15


Hauenstein home.
Mrs. F. H. Gilbert spent last week
visiting with her aunt, Mrs. A. Stock
stead of Sleepy Eye.
Prof. A. Ackermann returned Saturday
evening from Milwaukee where he had
attended the annual teachers meeting.
He was on the program with paper.
The funeral of the infant daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. William Plagge of Berna-
dotte township, Nicollet township, was
held here yesterday, burial being in the
Lutheran cemetery.
Prof. E. T. Critchett of St. Paul, came
to New Ulm Saturday to acc company
Mrs. Critchett, who has been visiting
friends in this city for the past ten days,
to their home: They left yesterday
afternoon.
The annual meeting of the New Ulm
Commercial Club was held last night, at
which time the officers for the coming
year, and the reports of the treasurer and
secretary were read. The Review goes
to press too early to give the result of the
election.
Dick Massopust, the New Ulm boy,
starred again for the Carlton football
team Monday, in the game between that
college and Hamline, when the Mortified
boys won by a score of IA to 0. The
Carlton team went up against the
strongest eleven that Hamline has had in
the'feld for five years.
Relatives of Waldo Brust were quite
surprised last week to receive announce
ments Of his marriage the 9TH of Novem-
Der to Miss Anna Lucretia Bishman of
Owatonna. Waldo has been working at
Owatonna for some years and the young
people will make their home there at
least for time.
Glen Burgess, employed as lineman
by the New Ulm Rural Telephone Com
pany, fell from the top of pole while
stringing cable at Minnesota and North
Eight. streets. He was taken to the
Union hospital, where he is suffering
from broken hip. Burgess is a stranger
here, having been in the employ of the
telephone company less than month.
The Bohemian Girl'' proved very
good Sunday evening, except to those
who were looking for real grand opera
with its orchestral accompaniment of
many pieces. A few others complained,
chiefly those who had 'seen it so much
better" somewhere else. The prices
were high for New Ulm but so was the
quality of the entertainment, all things
considered. There were some very good
voices, the stage settings were par
ticularly good and the acrobatic speciality
was certainly a whirlwind. It wouldn't
hurt New Ulm audiences to see a pro-
duction of that sort frequently. At
least it would give them some knowledge
of the theatrical world besides the movies.
Esther, the 10-year olfd daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Herman Albrecht of
Lafayette township, died Monday night
of lockjaw, after very short illness.
The child was taken ill Sunday. The
local physicians, after first pronouncing
the disease lockjaw, feared that infantile
paralysis had developed and DR.. Charles
r. Ball, a nerve specialist of St. Paul,
was summoned. It proved, however,
that the original diagnosis was correct.
DR.. W. P. Green of the State Health De-
partment, St. Paul, was also notified and
came to make an investigation. DR..
Green also investigated two or three
other cases in this vicinity before re-
turning. He decided that there was
no infantile paralysis here.
Patrick M. Hennessey, pioneer con-
tractor of St. Paul, died suddenly Sun
day. Mr.. Hennessey, built. the new
Catholic Cathedral, the Saint Paul
hotel, the Ryan, and many down town
buildings in that city, besides the West
at Minneapolis. He was one of the best
known building contractors in the North
west. He was 70 years old.
While we read of the paying off of
freak election bets in other cities, we
haven't heard of any foolish acts on the
part of New Ulm people who let their
partizanship get the best of their good
judgment. The barber business is said
to have fallen off to large degree in St.
Paul, caused by the payment of bets of
those who agreed to let their whiskers
grow indefinitely, should Wilson be
elected. The poor barber is the looser.
without being given gamblers chance.
Of all measly, contemplate wretches
the worst is the one who will rob the
chicken roost of poor family who must
depend on the products of their flock to
provide them with food and perhaps
