REVIEW GOES TO HUNDREDS
OF FORMER NEW ULMITES
WITH INVITATION.

AS a sample of the enthusiasm with
which former New Ulmites take up
the invitation to come "back home,
for at least four days to join in cele-
brating the 60th Anniversary of the
great Indian outbreak of August,
1862, when more than 800 whites were
massacred by the Indians in Mime
sofa and the frontier town of New
Ulm saw one of the most memorable
sieges Of Indian war history, may be
cited a letter from Mrs. Anna Hellrie-
gel and Miss Marie Bogen of Mo-
bridge, S. Oak, accompanied by
$l5 donation to the Home Coming
fund.
Look Forward to Cele lebration.

Only Two Weeks Distant.
This is just one of a great number Of
letters received by members Of the
committees in charge of the celebration
now only two weeks distant, and all
the letters show the same enthusiasm.
The Reuieso is going out every week
now to hundreds of former New
Ulmites whose names have been
sent or handed in to the office by rela-
tives, friends and old time neighbors,
the paper carrying the invitation to
all these people in all parts of the
United States who formerly lived in
New Ulm and who are now asked to
come '1home" for a short visit. All
this is in addition to the regular sub
scribers of the paper.
Many New Visitors.
There will also be big influx of new
visitors at New Ulm during the big
celebration, a great many people in
Minnesota, South Dakota, Iowa, Wis
consin, North Dakota and from longer
distances, having declared to their
friends their intentions of visiting
historic old New Ulm on this occasion.
People who have never been in New
Ulm before say that they are going to
come here for the Goth Anniversary of
the Indian Massacre to visualize in
their minds some Of the most import
ant and interesting points in Minnesota
history. Fear has been expressed in
some quarters that New Ulm will be
unable to house the thousands Of
visitors who will be here, but special
committees have been busy arranging
for the quartering ofvisitors at private
homes in addition to the large hotel
Accommodations Of the city. It is sug-
gested, however, that anyone who may
have any room to spare during the
four day celebration notify Mrs.
Herman Schemann, 208 South German
street or August G. Dahl, 126 South
Washing ton street without fail. It is
important that the feeling that New
Ulm will not be able to house the vis-
| itors be not allowed to get. out as it is
"a fact that housing Accommodations will
be ample enough II all who have room
will be kind enough to let the COM
mittee know. "a city of seven thous-
and inhab bitants where nearly all are
home owners will surely see to it that
all who come here will be comfortably
taken care of. This matter is being
VERY capably handled and no one
should allow themselves any concern
Ion that score.
