out mail service Of any kind for nearly
week, and Monday afternoon, Hans
Bakkeh, editor of the Herald, with his
usual enterprising journalistic spirit,
secured team and a big sleigh, took
the mail that had accumulated in the
postofice there and brought it to New

home with his sleigh loaded down with
mail for the residents of that town.
AS the people Of Hanska were evidently
becoming short of provisions during the
long freight blockade, Mr.. Backen,
also topped off the load with as many
baskets of bread and other edibles
as his team could draw. -.
It is presumed that Mr.. Bacfe en-

LARGE AUDIENCE PLEASED -
BY UNIVERSITY PLAYERS

The University Lyceum Players, at
the Armory, Tuesday evening, closed
the lyceum course, which the Current
News Club has conducted during the
past winter, with the prosecution of three
pretty little playlets, before the largest
audience of the course. ~
While not so successful financially,
as the members of the club had wished,
the course has afforded the people Of
New Ulm four of the best entertainments
of the kind to be had, and but for the
stormy weather that has been encoun-
tered on practically every occasion, the
financial results would certainly have
been more satisfactory. .z*.@
The personellc of the University
players who on Tuesday evening made
their second appearance in this city, is
OF especial interest to New Ulm people
for the reason that one of the members,
Miss Alice Mo, is Brown county pro-
duct, being daughter of Hans Mo,
one of Sleepy Eyes we'll known citizens,
and the young woman was born and
reared in that city. T. 80 J. ". r
The three .playlets, which were pre-
sented under the direction of Charles
M. Holt, were: Married Life,'' with
Fred Congdon, as. Mr.. Honeyton',
and Miss. Mo, as ..'M1s. Honeyton,"
"The Bishop and the Convict with
che following cast: THE Bishop
George Pauly; "The Convict" Fred
Congdon; '.Persome,'' Miss Moe;
Marie" stupid servant, Miss Queenie
May Buckley. The entertainment
closed with. ''The New Baby" a farce
of home life, in which Fred Condgon
appeared as George Cover" the new
father; George Pauly as FRANCIS Cover .
his bachelor uncle; Miss Mo, as May
Foster" his married sister, and Miss
Buckley, as his wife's married sister.
!. There was some very clever acting in
all Of the playlets, and especially was
that of Mr.. Pauly anf Mr.. Congdon,
in the Bishop and the Convict" a
strong one act drama.

of the fire. Dry as quickly as possible.
Then place in bottles and store in a
very dry place. When required, pour
a little warm water over the parsley
and allow it to stand for five minutes.
Never allow the flour bin to stand on
the floor. See that it is raised a few
inches from the ground, SO that the air
may circulate under it. The barrel
may rest on two bricks, and should be
