JUNIOR GIRLS ENTERTAIN ATH-
LETES.

With a banquet which matched the
game that preceded it the Junior girls
broke into the so-called social "whirl'
in the New Ulm high school last Friday
night. Although it was their first effort
they demonstrated such an expert knowl-
edge of the methods of reaching the
boys hearts that they bid fair to eclipse
the record set by their famous predeces-
sors, the girls of the present Senior class.
Tie members of the New Ulm and the
Mankato teams, and the officials con-
nected with the game were the guests.
The domestic science department again
proved itself useful as we'll as ornamental
by providing the necessary implements
for this experiment in the culinary art.
Miss Freeland directed the attack from
the kitchen, while Hilton Durbahn again
starred in the dining room.

The death of William Rausch occurred
at his home on Fifth North and Wash

He had been ailing for number of years
but had been able to attend to his duties
as assistant to the janitor at the post

was granted a vacation. He took to
his bed at once and gradually became
worse until he sank into state of coma
Monday afternoon from which he never
awakened.
William Rausch was born in New Ulm
October %, 1875, and has always made
this city his home. AS young man he
learned the cigar makers trade and for
twenty years was an employe of the
Burg cigar factory. For the past five
years he has been employed at the post
office as laborer and assistant to the
janitor. He was married April 20, 1896,
to Miss Rosa Martinka in this city. Be-

THE BIRTH OF A NATION.

When David w. Griffith started the
outdoor staging of the Civil War and
Reconstruction scenes in "The Birth
OF A Nation, which will be shown
at the Armory for days, starting Sum-
day Matinee March 26, he was confront
ed with seemingly insuperable difficulties.
An area of private war was required
about as large as the corner of Belgium
occupied by the Anglo-French forces.
Thousands of cavalrymen had to be
shown, in an historic raid of the North
many, many miles of typical Southern
sandy roads. Though an acknowledged
wizard of the films, Mr.. Griffith is not a
''war lord', with power to commander.
In this emergency, the county authori-
ties of 'The Birth Of A Nation" produc-
ing locale were applied to. They finally
consented to mark off an area of ten
square miles for the use of the horsemen.
Along all the roads within this area, the
county commissioners posted notices
forbidding all traffic on ''the day
of days.. Pedestrians were also warned
off. But the roads themselves did not
look southern. David Griffith handled
this difficulty-with the authorities per-
remaking such of the high
ways as would come within the cameras
eye. Many tons of sand and gravel
were spread by gangs of his workmen.
engineering changed the looks
of the landscape to the rounded hills,
piny woods and deep gullies of old North
State. The race of the northern clans
men to rescue their South Carolina
brethren took place on the appointed
day, without an accident or a flaw.
After it was over Mr.. Grifith's men
scraped the sand off the macadam roads,
took down the signs, and life in the sleepy
countryside resumed it's normal course.
1t cost about $4,000 to do the trick the
producer thinks it was worth all it cost,

CELEBRATE SILVER WEDDING

Mr.. and Mrs. Herman Helm were
agreeably surprised last Sunday evening
at Turner Hall where they had partici-
pated in the concluding festivities of the
Turner'S state convention. They were
induced to lead the supper march to the
tables which they thought had been set
for visiting guests. Their surprise can
be imagined when President Engel of
the Turnverein arose and explained the
real object of the affair, namely in honor
of the twenty-ffth anniversary of their
marriage. Prof. Helm was equal to the
occasion, however, and in thanking the
assemblage for the honor conferred upon
himself and Mrs Helm gave an in
teresting: talk on the swiftness of the
passing IF tma s being hardly able to
realize that "a Quarter of a century had
passed since he had been joined in matri-
mony to his life companion. 1t is only
the ocular evidence of grown-up children,
the daughter an instructor in the Turn
ing Teachers Seminary and son enter
ing upon his second year as an instructor
of athletics, that brings home the fact
that the years have really passed by.
Herman Helm and Miss Josephine
Knepper were married in Chicago, March
IL, 1891, and the first ten years of their
married life resided in Illinois cities where
Prof. Helm was engaged in athletic in
struction. Fifteen years ago he was
engaged by the New Ulm Turnverein
as instructor in athletics and since that
time the couple have been active in the
social life of the local society. They are
held in high regard by all who have the
pleasure of their acquaintance.
Mr.. and Mrs. Helm were the recipients
of beautiful silver set, the gift of the
Turnverein and the Turner Ladies'
Society. Several of the Turning classes
also remembered the occasion with ap-
propriate gifts.

An illustrated lecture on 'The Moon"
will be given at the Methodist church
next Thursday evening by Prof. w. O..
Beal of the University of Minnesota.
Prof. Beal is one of the foremost astron-
omers of this country and his lecture
should prove of interest not only to those
who have made study of the stars and
other planets, but also to the average
observer as it is something to which little
attention is paid in the rush of business
and social activity.
