ANNIVERSARY AT
FORT OBSERVED
MAJOR ALBERT !PFAENDER OF
NEW ,ULM WAS SPEAKER
OF THE DAY
PLAN TO RESTORE, OLD FORT
AND BARRACKS TALKED
AT ANNIVERSARY 81

Restoration OF the old buildings at
Fort Ridgely to their 1862 appearance,
the formation of the artificial lake in
the ravine in the state park there, and
the designation Of Fort Ridgely park
as the place for the National Guard
encampment instead of Lake City were
amongst the proposals heartily cheered
by an immense crowd which attended
the Goth anniversary program at the
site of the old fort Tuesday of last
week. The celebration this year drew
the largest crowd on record.
. Senator Benson Presided.
Senator Henry N. Benson Of St.
Peter presided. The principal address
was delivered by Major Albert Pfaen-
der of New Um, son Of the late Colonel
VIM. Pfaender who was at one time
commandant at old Ft. Ridgely. Colonel
c.. H. Hopkins of Fairfax, secretary OF
the park association and father Of the
restoration idea, told the history Of
Fort Ridgely. Judge Henry Moll Of
St. Peter and Levi Longfellow OF Min
neapolis were on the program.
Julia Schwaset Schmitz, one OF the
refugees Of 1862, told her experiences,
including how she was saved by the
squaw of Good Thunder, Sioux In
dian, who hid her under buffalo skin
and sat on the skin until danger was
past Mrs. Joseph Shiro, whose father
acted as an interpreter between the
whites and reds, recalled episodes of
the historic events of 1862.

night, presumably quite early yester-.
day morning, crew of yellow painters
must have worked fast and furiously
on the front Of p. Liesch' print shop
on Second North street. Spectators
gathered in groups in front of the
Journal Office yesterday morning to
view the handiwork of people who
prefer to let the darkness hide their
identity.
The entire front of the Liesch build
ing was daubed with yellow paint, the
big window of the office having re-
ceived the heaviest dose, hardly a
square inch of the big plate having
escaped from the thorough painting
of the night gang. The brick wall and
the smaller windows had also received
a goodly covering Of paint. ..,
Used Broom As Brush.
The night visitors left their parapher-
MALTA, consisting Of an ordinary house
broom, big pail in which had been
the paint and which had been entirely
emptied, and small brush, evidently
an old brush that had formerly seen
use in cleaning of cans or pipes, which
had also been drafted for use as a paint
brush. The fact that there were both
a broom and a brush, which both
showed use as painting tools, leads to
the certain conclusion that the job
was not done by one person alone, but
that there must have been at least
two people, and very likely more, on
the job. Workers of this caiber
generally go in gangs.
Handed a Lemon.
The halt Of lemon had also been
left on the sidewalk, close to the door.
This was probably symbolic Of the
feelings that prompted the attack.
When the journal force arrived on
the scene, they began to gather up
and put away the tools" left by the
painters. A Repiew reporter asked
Mr.. Eyrich if he surmised the cause of
the painting. "Some people are crazy,
/ guess" was the only reply. s.
Workmen were busy yesterday fore
noon trying to wash off the, paint,
which was pretty difficult job. Water
had no influence on the sticky stuff
and chemicals had to be resorted to
in order to get it off. Traces will no
doubt remain for a long time.
Beecher's Residence Painted.
It now appears that about month
ago, the residence of H. L. Beecher,
404 South German street, was daubed
with yellow paint, the RepieaO having
missed the news at that time. Whether
the same gang did both Jobs or if New
Ulm has two. night painting crews
seems to be unknown at this time.
City and county officials will no doubt
get busy and chances are that in the
long run, the culprits will be caught as

Unless there Is a scarcity of market

more profitable procedure to use Off

to sell It locally to someone who has

To get good results from flock Of

tlon, only healthy fowls placed in
these buildings, and good care given
to the poultry. AS 1t takes about two
weeks for hens or pullets to settle
down to their new quarters they
should be moved early. The moving
should be done before they begin to
lay, for shift after egg production
begins may set them back for month
to six weeks. Moving pullets around
from one house to another is the best
means Of holding back egg production

United States Department of Agricul-
ture points out that 1t Is highly de-
sirable to bring the pullets in from
the range before they begin to lay.
