AUGUST SCHWERDTFEGER.
The death of August Schwerdtfeger,
which occurred at Los Angeles, CAL,
two weeks ago, was mentioned briefly
IN the Review at the time, telegram
announcing Mr.. Schwerdtfeger's death
having been received just as the 70 ms
! Tor the paper were going to press.
A letter received from Mrs. schell
gives the details of the last few days of
her fathers life in which his friends will
be interested. We quote as follows
from the letter: As ss...-
ssFather had not been feeling very
strong all winter and off and on would
have sick spell 50 that we were al
ways little worried about him but now
that it was getting so nice and warm we
had hopes he would at least feel much
better. 1t was Saturday, the 10th,
that we took him for an auto ride of
about IL miles and he seemed to enjoy
1t very much. He said that every time
he went for ride he saw something more
beautiful. However, that night he was
very ill and it was very hard for him to
breathe and kept wishing that it were
morning so that he might be up and
around again. Sunday he seemed quite
good deal better but when night came
on again he became worse and we called
in nurse as the doctor told us his con-
dition was very grave. Father insisted
on staying up until the evening was well
along and wanted us all to sit about him
and he joined in the talk every now and
then. During the night he grew much
worse and in the morning we cou see
the end was near but he begged to be
allowed to sit up and it was just as he
was seated in the chair assisted by mother
the nurse and myself, that he breathed
his last

AT OLD SOLDIERS HOME

d. ~ y q.
f.. A.. Wuetig, one of the defenders of
New Ulm, who came from St. Peter in
August. 1862, to assist those here in
fighting the Indians, died at the National
Home for Soldiers, at Leavenworth, Kan,
March 26, according to a letter received
by Richard Pfefferle. Pneumonia was
the cause Of Mr.. Wuetig's death, which
occurred three days after reaching the
home.
Mr!4Wuetig whowas a life long friend Of
Mr.. Pfefferle, his home being in Colorado,
had spent the winter in Florida, and
was evidently on his way home, when
attacked by his fatal illness.
Several months ago MI. Wuetig sent
to Mr.. Pfefferle ansaccount of the Indian
battles here, which he had written some
,thirty-fve> years ago, preserved all that
time and published for the first time in
the, Review in November last.
Mr.. Wuetig, who spent his early life
at st. Peter, served in the Indian and
Civil Wars with Mr.. Pfeferle, after the
close of which he went west, settling in
Colorado, where he married and reared
a family. He is we'll remembered here
by many Of the older residents, especially
among the members of the G. A. r.

NIG0I.I.EY FARMERS
FEAR HOG CHOLERA
ACTION TAKEN IN sNEIGHBOR-
INC COUNTY TO WARD OFF
DISEASE
WILL BE PURCHASED AT
ONCE WHILE IT IS EASY
TO GET

Hog cholera will be controlled by the
farmers of Nicollet county in system
attic manner. About thirty held a
meeting at st. Peter, when it. was de-
cided to take time by the forelock, and
stamp out the disease whenever it showed
itself, at whatever cost. The meeting
was called by Frank Osborne, president
Of the Nicollet County Farm Bureau,
for the purpose Of forming plans to con-
troll possible outbreak Of the cholera
in that county. 5..l
Will Buy Serum At Once
It was decided to have plentiful
supply of serum on hand. The serum
is obtained from the state, and the
farmers Saturday thought it best to
obtain a considerable amount of the
serum now, when there is not much of a
demand for it, instead Of waiting until it
is needed and then trying to secure a
quantity from the state. If the matter
were left until an outbreak occurred it
might be difficult to obtain sufficient
supply Of the serum, because other
counties around the state would be ap-
plying for, serum at the same time, and
the antitoxin would be scarce.
kelehan To Have. Charge
The serum will be taken care of by
Charles Kelehan, agriculture profess
sor at the St. Peter high school. In
case of an outbreak of cholera he will
have charge Of controlling the scourge,
and the vaccinating Of the hogs, as pre-
vention against further spread of the
disease.
Associated Districts Come First
Another matter brought up was that
OF associating country school districts
with that of St. Peter. Any districtwith in
six miles of the city limits of St. Peter
can join the schools of this city. In do
ing this associated districts can obtain
theservices of the agricultural and domes-
tic science teachers at the high school.
The superintendent would then have
to devote some of his time each month
to those districts as well as the coun-
.ty superintendent. BY becoming ASSOC
ciated with the public schools Of the
city, those in the associated district
would be. the first to obtain the serv-
ices Of Prof. Charles Kelehan in case
of an outbreak of hog cholera. This
means that the loss Of county agent
can be made up to a certain extent by
associating with st. Peter and thus
being able to obtain first service from
the agriculture instructor at the high
school.
I At the meeting Saturday no definite
action was taken in regard to associating
any country districts with that of St..
Peter, but an organization was formed
to obtain supply of hog cholera serum
from the state, and also to have general
charge of an epidemic Of cholera, if it
should break out. Mr.. Osborne was
elected president Of this newly formed
organization and Philip Koenen of lie
,Sueur county was chosen as secretary
and treasurer.
