TWO CHICAGO BANKERS
AND LAWYER SNOWBOUND

During a recent storm, in which rail-
way traffic was seriously demoralized,
two Chicago bankers, accompanied by a
dapper young attorney of Minneapolis,
were in New Ulm on legal business.
They wished to 60 to Minneapolis via
the Northwestern Line, but were not
sure OF reaching Mankato in time to
catch the Omaha Flyer" and could
not bear the thought of being obliged to
ride ali the way to the Twin Cities in
an ordinary coach, along with the
common herd.' A train Carrying a
diner and parlor car were, they con-
tended, the very poorest Accommodations
that they could possibly put up with.
1t was finally announced that the
"Scoot' would soon leave for St. Peter,
and there being a possibility that they
would be able to reach there in time for
the desired Omaha train, decided to
leave, although warned by Landlord
johnson, of the Dakota House, that they
were taxing grave chances OF being
stalled" at almost any out of the way
place along the way.
Unheeding the wise advice of one
who knew of what he was talking, the
trio departed, and then they wished
they hadn't.
The "Scoot" reached point not far
from CORTLAND where it became stuck
in snow bank and remained there for
nearly twenty-four hours.
Tired and hungry, it is said the aristo-
cratic Chicago bankers and dapper
Minneapolis attorney were quite willing
to mingle with the common herd" eat
almost anywhere or anything, and ride
even in caboose before they reached
their destination.

ENJOYS SOCIAL
GATHERING
SOCIAL

Last Sunday afternoon the second
@geistig gemuetliche' entertainment
held this year by the New Ulm Turn
erein was given at the lecture room.
The attendance was very satisfactory
and the program proved exceedingly
entertaining. There was a piano solo
by Miss Henrietta Hauenstein, piano
duet by Alleen Setter and Frieda Behnke,
a recitation by George Wicherski and a
short address by Prof. Herman Helm.
There was also community singing,
the audience joining in German and
English folk-songs. The best number OF
the program without question was the
*'Kaffee-Klatsch,'' short opera sung by
Mrs. w. G.. Alvin, Mrs. L. G. Bell, Mrs.
Herman Helm and Mrs. L. B. Krook.
Miss Henrietta Hauenstein played the
accompaniment. The ladies were dressed
like typical 'Kafeeschwestern'' and
acted and sang their parts in manner
that found great favor with the audience
Supper was served at six and then the
young people tripped the light fantastic
for several hours. Every one voted the
affair huge success and it is hoped that
the society will be able to arrange a
similar afternoon for the month of April.
At the regular meeting of the Turn
verein held the same afternoon it was
decided to give an invitation dance
Easter Monday.
The new ''Bezirksvorort' was elected.
All the old members were reelected with
the exception of August Marschner who
has removed from the city. In his place

the Catholic cemetery.
The Owatonna Packing Company,
which started out with a great flourish
awhile ago, has been dissolved. The
stock of the concern was distributed all
over the southern part of the state,
but for some reason the promoters were
unable to make it go. At recent meet
ing of the stockholders, it was decided
to distribute the assets among the
shareholders after the debts had been
paid.
The Second District Editorial Asso-
cations convention, to have been held
at Mankato Saturday, did not take
place, having been postponed late Friday
afternoon. 1t was believed that only a
few of the editors in the district would
| be able to reach Mankato in time for
the meeting, owing to the snow blockade.
The meeting will be held later, the date
OF which has not yet been decided.
Major Albert Pfaender and family
have returned from Corpus Christi,
Texas, where they have been for several
months. Mrs. Pfaender and children
went to Texas early in the winter, when

-" Love Never Dies" is the title of
beautiful example of photoplaying to be
exhibited at the Armory, theatre on
Thursday Mar.22, with Ruth Stonehouse;
Franklyn Farnum and Kingsley Benedict
playing the leading roles. The nature
OF the play is indicated by it's title. The
love of two faithful hearts, steadfast
under the most trying circumstances,
forms romance that will have general
appeal-for "all the world loves a lover"
An excellent organization interprets the
engaging story, and beautiful photo
graphy will reflect natural scenes of
great charm. It's a Bluebird.

LETTER FROM KENTUCKY

So many OF our friends urged us to
write and tell all about our visit. think
the best thing for me to do is to send
little sketch to the Review, giving in
brief the chief points Of our trip. We
left New Ulm Feb. IA, arriving at
Denver next day at about in the after
noon. The heaviest snow seemed to he
at Window and from there on there was
but little. From Omaha to Denver we
saw great many cattle grazing in the
fields. Our part of the country looks
prosperous compared with what we saw.
The farm homes were poor and small
and it did not look as tho the people had
been able to accumulate any wealth.
1t was dreary, loneiy-looking country
and felt that I could not live there.
Mrs. Meyerpeter formerly Annie
Engel) our neighbor and friend of by
gone days, met us at the Denver station.
We visited with her for nine days. We
wished very much to visit Mrs. Drew
formerly Miss Viola Koch) at Colorado
City but the weather was bad and we
could not get out to see much of Colo
RADIOS grand scenery. We visited the
important buildings of Denver and some
OF the parks which must be beautiful in
summer. There were only two nice
days while we were there and as it showed
we did not make trip to the mountains
which seem to be only two or three miles
away but are really thirty to seventy-five
miles distant. -. -.
We met Miss Minnie Hoffman, and
she had supper with us and we all en-
Joyed good home chat. --@. F.
We left Denver Saturday morning and
arrived in Chicago Sunday afternoon.
Mrs. Meyers, formerly Emma Huebner)
met US and altho it was over % years
since we had seen each other we recog-
nlzed each other at once. She lives in
suburb Of Chicago, about 10 miles from
city limits. Her sister, Mrs. Schulz
from Monroe, Wise, came also and again
we had very nice visit talking of oIden
times. <
We left Chicago March LIST at noon
and reached Cincinnati at nine that
evening. Our nephews and cousins met
us with the car and soon we were at
Newport, Kty. The house was all lit
up and there was sister Kate, Val, Edna
and cousin Emily and even the poodle
was all dressed up, scrubbed snowy white
and had big pink bow on.
l need not say that we were greeted
most heartily and it seemed like coming
home after many years.
Since we have been here the weather
has been very bad. Snow and slush
and Sunday there was regular blizzard.
Houses here are built very narrow
as the lots are only rs foot front. Gas
Is used for heating and lighting purposes.
1t is fine. They used to have the arti-
fetal gas at $1.5O per thousand feet but
now they have natural gas at 80 cents
per thousand. They have gas stoves
IN halls and rooms and if the fireplaces
are used, gas is also burned in them.
They promise us fine times to come
as soon as the weather is more favorable.
We were to 60 to Cinncinati today but
the rain is pouring down. We. shall
leave for Tennessee right after Easter.
Bowling Green, where Mr.. POINTERS
people live is on our way.
With Greetings from all the Kentucky
people who have visited New Ulm in
recent years. ~

COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, February 24.-The fea-
ture in the cotton market today was
the strength of the near positions. For
the first time since the beginning of
next active position, March being ex-
changed for May at premium Of 5
points on March, while there was reg
ular business in March at points over
May This reflection of the spot sit
uation exercised an influence on later
deliveries, and the general list closed
steady at a net advance of to 10
points. May contracts f1uctuated be-
tween 1921 and 1881. closing at 1880.
The market opened steady at un-
points. The bearish view of the British
import policy. responsible for the liqui-
dalton and sharp break of yesterday,
appeared to have undergone some mod
ifcation overnight, and the market sold
3 to 13 points net higher right after
the call on covering by some of yes
terday's sellers This advance met an
other furry Of liquidation and prices
reacted to about last nights close. Of
ferings were limited, however. and the
market soon flrmed up again on re-
newed covering. March advanced to
1853 or 81 points above last nights
close. while July sold up to 1857. or 9
points net higher. New crop positions

sympathy with the near month
strength
Closing prices were a few points off
from the best under realizing. Man
chester trade advices said the prospects
were uncertain and that goods were
beginning to accumulate owing to the
reduction in export facilities. These
reports probably promoted some of the
early selling. but advices from the do
nestle goods trade were encouraging.
Larger sales were reported in Fall
River. with prices showing advances
