A fire at Faribault last week de
stroyed property to the value of $150-
000.
A Farmer's Mutual Hail Associa
tion has been organized in Nicollet
county with C. fi. Hansen, as Presi
dent M. Chilgren, Vice-President
A. Thorson, Secretary P. H. Mc
Dermid, Asst. Secretary. A full

The army appropriation bill passed
by the last Congress requires that
all headquarters, except that of the
General and Lieut. General, be estab
lished at military posts. In compli
ance with this provision the head
quarters of the department of Dakota
nave been removed from St. Paul to
Fort Snelling.
From nearly forty points in south
ern Minnesota, and from four coun
ties in western Wisconsin, definite
crop reports were received by tele
graph and mail at La Crosse, Friday,
in reply to inquiries. The two
southern tiers of counties in Minne
sota send generally favorable reports
of the wheat prospects, although
complaints are frequent enough to
occasion some solicitude.
Three miles south of Appleton,
"Wis., a passenger train on the Chi
cago^ North-western railroad, going
north, was wrecked Friday morning
by the track having been torn up by
tramps, in revenge for their being
put off from freight trains on which
they were stealing rides. The en
gineer, Samuel Davis and fireman,
Al. Cate were severely injured. The
fireman, is expected to recover. All
of the passengers escaped without
injury.
The impeachment Irial ended last
Friday night, and resulted, as nearly
everyone expected it would, in the
acquittal of Judge Page. On three
out of the ten articles of impeach
ment a majority of the Senators vot
d "guilty," but as a two-thirds
vote is necessary to conviction the
judge was declared acquitted of each
and every article and specification of
impeachment. The Senate has been
in session as a high court of im
peachment a little over four weeks
and has cost the State in the neigh
borhood of($40,000, all for the gratifi
cation of a few men in Mower Co.
Hon. John C. Eudolph is in receipt
of the following letter in answer to
the one he addressed to Hon. H. B.
Strait, which appeared in these col
umns June 12th, refering to the bill
asking for an extension of time for
pre-emption settlers to make final
proof:
HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES,
WASHINGTOK, C, June 17 '78
My dear Sir:Your favor of the 11th mat is at
iiand. I shall certainly do all in my power to pass
the bill you have reference to in your letter I feel
that it is due to the settlers on the frontier, especi
ally those in our own State, who ha\e suffered for
several years from the grasshopper plague I know
what these sufferings are, for I have been an eye
witness to their loss, year after year, and although
I have done heretofore all in my power to alleviate
their wants, vet I feel that I must not cease in my
efforts to help them to the extent of my means I
shall continue to labor for them whenever the op
portunity presents itself to me I shall urge upon
colleagues to help, and I feel confident in the
justness of the measnre that Congress will not de
lay in passing the bill as soon as it is reached in its
resuiar order. Truly oui &c.
H. B. STRAIT.
Hon. John Rudolph.
New Ulm, Minn.
The Washington correspondent of
the St. Paul JMspatch says that our
member of Congress, Hon. H. B.
Strait, received a parting testimonial
of his efficiency by being chosen as
the republican head of the House
committee to~present a plan for the
entire reorganization of the army.
The Major is in the fine of promo
tion, and if we securethe next House
he will fully blossom out as the chair
man of the military committee, a
very important position, especially
as he would have to baffle the hos
tility of the then democratic Senate
to the army. That committee is now
ready for work with Gen. Burnside
as its chairman. f^gf
The same correspondent also says
that he is afraid that the Major's
pension bill, decreeing that all pen
sions should date from death or dis
charge on account of wounds or dis
ease, failed to become a law. Strait's
activity and zeal with reference to
soldiers meet their reward. His busi
ness at the pension office is second
in volume only to that of Ben. But

The election of school officers last
week resulted in the choice of the old

A burning chimney on the Pennsyl

little excitement on our streets. The
fire was extinguished however before
any damage was done.
As it is an established custom in this
city for our public schools to have a
vacation dming the heated term, the
Board of Education has ordered that
the schools remain closed from to-mor
row until August 5th.
We would call the attention of our
readers to the advertisement of "Cheap
Charlev," which may be found on
supplement accompanying this issue.
He says that he is going to make JXew
Ulm his permanent home, and asks for
his share of patronage.
We would call the attention of our
city readers to the notice of a special
school meeting to be held at Turner
Hall, Wednesday evening, July 15th,
at 7 o'clock, for the purpose of again
considering the advisability of build
ing anew school house and other mat
ters connected therewith.
The Fourth of July this year will
certainly not go by default in this vi
cinity as the citizens a Sleepy Eye,
Burns Station, Golden Gate, Lone Tree
Lake and in fact at every Station along
the railroad west of New Ulm have
made elaborate preparations for ob
serving the day.
Anton Henle of the "New Ulm
House," in Milford, has also made ar
rangements for celebrating the 4th.
There will be a prize contest at the
bowling alley during the afternoon,
and in the evening asocial hop. Good

hospitable host a good time may be ex
pected.

Martin Mueller and F. Diepolder-weie
appointed a committee of arrange

the next meeting, which will be held
Aug. 25th. 4S i fc
A few weeks afo it was* generally
supposed that the Fourth would go by
default in this city. But now that we
are going to have a celebration the
flame of enthusiasm has got so hot that
it prematurely touched off a"pop gun"
in the trousers of one of our citizens,
last Saturday night, to the great con
sternation of the individual and the
demolition of his trousers.
Another slight change hasbeen*made
in the arrival and departure of trams,
at this station. The day passenger,
going east, now leaves at 6:10,15 mjui
utes later than heretofore. The night
passenger arrives from the east at 9 a.
m.T and departs for the west at ff:10,
twenty minutes later than heretofore.
All other trains arrive and depart as
We would kindly ask the indulgence
of our readers for the insufficiency of
this week's issue. The fact of the
matter is we did not expect the delin
quent tax list until next week, and
its sudden descent upon us this week
found us wholly unprepared for it.
Capt. Burg will usher in the day we
celebrate to-morrowmorning at sunrise
with a national salute. At 9 a. m. the
societies meet at their respective ren
dezvous and then repair to 'Public
Square where a procession will be
formed, which will march through our

An infringement onBogardus patent

at his command, fell upon the novel
idea of using eggs. As eggs are worth
only from 4 to 6 cents a dozen and the
glass balls cost a fraction over two cts.
each, our club felt an interest in the
experiment and delegated the Beview
man to watch and report upon it. We
found it no easy task, as the "shootist"
sworethat we shouldn't come near him,
but judging from the looks of his
"phiz" upon his return, we can safely
say that the experiment proved a fail

Prince, of St. Paul, has granted aJease to a party
who are about to commence operations with san

The town was thrown into a state of excitement
last week by the report that some one had been
murdered two miles west of town. Upon investi
gation we learned that the herders had found a pair
of pants, fearfully cut as if by a knife, also a white
shirt and a cap Along the railroad track near the
same place some cartnges were found and the
ground in the vicinity looked as if a struggle had
taken place. The herders also report having seen
blood on the ground The brush and sloughs in the
vicinity have been searched but as yet nothing fur
ther has been discovered. The herders report having
seen three persons in that vicinity the Sunday pre
