DEMOCRAT RALLY AT NEW
ULM ARMORY ON THURSDAY

The attention of the voters of the CITY
is called to the Democratic rally which
will be held at the Armory, tomorrow
(Thursday) evening. The Hon. Herrick
of Wisconsin, once Lieut.. Gov. of the
state of Wisconsin will address the voters
on the issues of the day.
Mr.. Herrick is, according to reports
received by Joseph Smasal, chairman of
the Democratic County Committee, one
of the most forceful speakers of the
State of Wisconsin and is very much in
demand. The fact that he has always
been Republican and is casting his lot
with the Democrats this year and is
supporting Wilson ought to make him
more attractive as speaker than those
who have always supported the party.
He will no doubt give what to him are
good reasons for supporting the present
administration.
AS this is presumably the only de-
mocratic meeting that will be held in
New Ulm and possibly in the entire
county, it behooves all the Democrats
to turn out and hear the speaker. Not
only should they turn out, but also
all others who are willing and anxious
to hear both sides, to place them in a
better position to determine their vote
at the polls in November.

FIRST LYCEUM NUMBER
COMING NEXT MONDAY

Monday evening next will begin the
series of University Extension work for

These artists are well known all over
the country and come to New Ulm
highly recommended for their talent and
training Mr.. Meyer is a young Ameri-
can violinist who is rapidly gaining
recognition both at home an abroad. He
is pupil of the great violin master,
sevcik. One Of his foreign press notices
reads as follows:
The soloist, Mr.. Otto Meyer, was
brilliantly successful in the Mozart
concerto, which received and Individual
Interpretation at his hands. One of the
artist pupils of Sevcik, Mr.. Meyer is, of
course, a finished technician. His tone
is big and warm, and his playing is in
stlnct with emotion, but in all he does
there is healthy freshness which does
away with any suspicion of afectation.
A very large audience was present, and
the young American was recalled many
times.'
Marie Ten Brock, pianist, COM
menced her piano studies when a child
under Victor Heinze. At sixteen she
made notable appearance on the con-
cert stage and later went to Europe to
study with Godowsky in Berlin. Since
then she has been teaching and con-

that she has beautifully clear fingers
and lovely tone which she never forces. -

main in front of the New Ulm Publish
ing Company building on North Mime
sofa street for the purpose of repairing
the pipes leading to that building,
necessitating the tearing up small
portion OF the pavement, was granted.
The work is to be done under the direction
OF City Engineer L. M. Norelius, and
after the contractors who laid the paving
have been notified of the intention.
Light Lines to Be Extended.
Four electric light wire extensions
were approved and Superintendent A.
}. Mueller authorized to proceed with
their construction. One of the lines
is to extend out North Minnesota street
from North tenth to North fourteenth
streets, the second on South German
street, the third to the Hauenstein
Brewery and the fourth to the Pioneer
Nursery. The electic committee was
authorized to make contract with
VIM. Pfaender, Jr., owner of the nur-
sery, covering the extra cost for the
construction of the nursey for the
construction of the lines to that place,
before active work is begun, it hay
ing been reported to the council that
Mr.. Pfaender would be willing to pay
an extra rate for the service.
-Four additional fire alarm boxes were
also ordered, their locations to be de-
termlned by the fire committee.
The council was addressed by Andrew
Satfert and Charles Stuebe of Stuebe
Brothers, relative to complaints as to
the inaccuracy of the city scales. This
question has been burning one between
the stock and produce buyers of this
city and the farmers of the vicinity fol-
some time, but no action was taken by
the council, it being pretty we'll agreed
that when discrepancies occur the fault
IS more with conditions than that OF
the different sets of scales involved.

What Other Dealers Charge.
At CORTLAND the following prices pre-
vail:
Butter, s0c to &c; Eggs, FL 1-2c;
Beans, 7c; Corn, 10, 10 and 15c; Coffee
rs, 80 and 40c; Tea, average brands, So;
Salt, and 1Oc sack; smoked herring 15c;
Sugar, IL cents.
At Essig prices range about the same
as at CORTLAND. Flour is the same as
in New Ulm; the merchant there does not
handle butter; eggs are q cents dozen
and beans Z cents a pound. Other COM
modities are quoted as follows:
Canned Corn, 1Oc; tomatoes, 15c;
rice, 10c; cocoanut, Zoe; raisins, IL lie;
lard, 8 ID pals, SOC.
Prices in the Old Days.
R. Pfeferle, who established the first
exclusive grocery store in Brown county,
here, in 1870, told the Review of some of
the prices that ruled here at that time.
Butter" he said, twas from to 7
cents in the summer, while in the winter
it went up as high as 10 to IL cents;
beans sold around $3.50 bushel and
have sold many bushel for a dollar.
Flour was $3.50 hundred pounds and
eggs from 5 to cents dozen. Salt was
$3.50 barrel. We had to bring our
goods part of the way from St. Paul by
wagon, making the freight much higher
than it is now. Gun powder tea was
the highest priced commodity that we
had in those days. We bought for 81 go
a pound and sold it for 1920. 1t now
sells for about so cents pound. Coffee
was handled in the green stage at that
time, the housewife roasting and grinding
it after getting it home. The wholesale
price then was from 5 to cents pound
and we retailed at IL 1-2 cents. The
price for the same quality now is from
Is to 80 cents.''
"Not only does the advancing price
of the commodities themselves enter
into the present high cost of living" said
grocer, discussing the situation, ''but
the COST of doing business is also much
higher than heretofore. Our wrapping
paper is up at least 40 per cent over that
OF year ago, as is also the Irvine with
which we tie up our packages for the Gus
toner, and, in fact, nearly everything
that we, buy that goes into our business
is much higher. The general public
hardly realizes what the merchant is up
against in these piping times of high
prices

FEVER EPIDEMIC AT THE
BORDER is NOW CHECKED

The epidemic of fever among the
Minnesota troops who are on the border,
has been pretty we'll checked, according
to Captain Amt G. Anderson, of the
First regiment, M. N. G., who has re-
signed from the army and returned to
his home at Minneapolis.
The Second regiment was the hardest
hit by the disease of any of the soldiers
in camp at Llano Grande, Texas, says
Captain Anderson. At one time 400
men of the Second had the disease, he
said.
with the exception of the malaria
epidemic" the captain declares, (which
has hit all Minnesota regiments to some
extent, the health of the men at the
border continues good.
'The sick rate in all the regiments is
remarkably low. There is no typhoid
at Llano Grande and the trouble caused
by change in food and climate are
gradually disappearing. The malaria
epidemic hit the Second hard. At one
time only one medical officer was we'll
enough to be on duty.
II believe the disease, which is carried
by mosquitoes, has been checked. Lack
of proper mosquito netting probably
was responsible for the epidemic. The
First regiment had 20 malaria cases.
Most of the men suffering from the
disease are take in either to field or base
hospitals

PORTANT QUESTIONS AT
MEETING

Fixing the tax levy for the city of New
Ulm, ordering an extension of the cleo
trio light lines and the appointment of
election inspectors for the coming No
vember election constituted the principal
business of the city council, which held
it's regular monthly meeting at the
council chamber Tuesday night.
Tax Levy Increased
The appropriations for the conduct
of the city's business for the coming
yearzwere placed at 1000, divided into
the following funds:

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1916-10-11


Last years levy was. $21, 1000, being
$4,000 less than that for the present
year, the increase being caused by the
apprproiation of $4,000 for improve
ments to the city cemetery, which has
not heretofore been needed. Last year
there was appropriated $4,000 for the
interest and sinking fund and only
$4,000 to the fire department. The
aggregate to be given those two de-
partments, however, will be the same as
before.
Protection For Monument
The Indian monument is to have
more adequate protection. The fact
that the railing around the monument
was recently damaged and partly de-
stroyed, brought the need of a, change
to tie attention of the council. Diff
ferent methods were discussed, Presi-
dent Behnke believing that a smaller
grass plat and a high curling would
afford the best protection, while others
thought the railing should be nearer
the base. It was the universal opinion,
however, that too much space is now oc-
cupied by the plat at the intersection
of Center and State streets and the
matter was referred to the committee,
with power to act.
Payments Made On Contracts
The Healy Plumbing & Heating
Company of St. Paul, which has the
contract for water and sewer extensions,
was allowed $3.50 on it's contract,
which was ordered paid, City Engineer
L. M. Norelius reporting that the St.
Paul concern was entitled to that sum.
The bill of the Kretsch Auto company
for $3.50 for the Ford Auto truck, used
by the water and electric department,
was referred to the electric light commit
tee, to be paid when the engine to the
truck has been placed in proper cendi-
ton. Payment of the bill has been
held up, owing to the inability of the
auto company to make the engine work.
1t was reported that the roof of the
cd school building, now used by the
Overall factory, is in leaking condition.
The matter was ref erred to the building
and grounds committee.
The council refused to buy the motor
cycle owned by Chief of Police Klause,
preferring to continue pa5 ing the Chief
rent for it's use, as las been done during
the past two years.
The sprinkling assessment against E.
Wicherski for 1874, was reported unpaid
and placed in his tax assessment.
The request of F. w. Peuser to place
barber pole on the sidewalk in front Of
his place of business, was refused, the
council members agreeing that such
action would be in violation of the ordi-
nance governing signs.
A building permit was granted to John
Schapekahm to re-shingle a building at
422 North Minnesota street, and to H.
N. Somsen for an addition to his building
at the corner of Minnesota and First
North streets. The petition of Fred
Setter for permit to erect a temporary
shed was referred to the committee on
fire protection, with power to act.
Election Judges Appointed.
The following judges of election were
appointed: First Ward-Fred Behnke,
Fred Hamann, H. D. Beussmann.
Second Ward-Emil Mueller, Wd.
Eibner, Hugo Gebser.
Third Ward-Christ Filzen, Jr., L. B.
