i I NEW ULM AND VICINITY. A Mr. John Potter has opened a wire mattress manufactory in Henry Fren zel's building, on Centre street. "j| Jack-rabbitssare reported to be quite numerous in the town of Lafayette. A son of Mr. Wellner shot three last Sa turday, in les9 than an hour. Under the new tax law the tax dupli cates will not be turned over to the county treasurer until January 1st. IjUnder the old law taxes were col lectable on December 1st. The annual meeting of the Minn. Valley Medical Association will be held next Tuesday, in Mankato. Dr. Ber ry, and probably some of the other M. D.'s of this city, will be in attendance. H. A. Subilia, Jr., and A. G. Wagner have organized anew string band and are prepared to furnish music for balls, concerts, etc., on short notice. 'En- gagements can be made with either of the above named gentlemen. A special to the Globe says that the people of Fairfax and vicinity are im pressed with the idea that the land grant of the Winona & St. Peter rail road company will be forfeited. The panic seems to be spreading. The Board of Education has at last succeeded in finding a competent teach er for the high school class. His name is W. F. Dodpl and he hails from But ternut, Wis. He was selected last Fri day, from 74 among applicants. An Ohio engineer has made an ex amination of the route between the lakes Big Stone and Traverse, and re ports that by using the river bed a ca nal sixty feet long, with one stone lock, could be built for less than $100,000. W. P. Christensen, the newly ap pointed register of the land office at Redwood Falls, is a resident of Olivia, Renville county. He has been the State Senator from Renville county for two sessions, and is a representative of fhe young Democracy. The health officer of New Ulm com plains that the order of the Board of Health, recently published, is not com plied with. The board threatens to make an example of some one, unless cases of contagious diseases and death from same are promptly reported to the board. Report from 'headquarters" says that the controversy over the New Ulm postoffice has been settled that the 'bosses" have joined in one recommen dation, and that the successful candi date's name will be announced in two weeks. All the candidates have polish ed up their lightning rods and are ex pectantly awaiting the electric shock. The New Ulm scribe of the Sleepy E} Herald pokes fun at the REVIEW editor because a lone rooster was the outcome from a setting of eggs, present ed us last spring. Well, that rooster is a Republican bird and when next fall he gets up on the topmost rider of a lail lence and heralds a victory for the g. o. p., the Belaid man won't think it so funny. A band of Bavarian musicians, mak ing a tour of the United States, reach ed New Ulm last Friday forenoon. During the afternoon of that day and Saturday they furnished our people with some excellent music. The mem beis of the band are all first-class musi cians,and renderthe most difficult selec tions with Harmony and precision. They left for the east on the Tuesday a. m. tram. We supposed that the case of D. Dingier against Gieseke now in the Supreme Court was settled, but we see by yesterday's Pioneer Press that a day has been set for its trial in the Supreme Court. The suit, as will be remember ed, is to ascertain whether Mr. Dingier is entitled to have his judgment satisfied out of the property occupied by Mr. Ho33cheler,to the exclusion of the other creditors. TomBowen objects to the term 'boss.,' When men get up in political meetings and announce with a flourish of trum pets that "I" have done so and so that "we" have done so and so that "if it hadn't been for us these things wouldn't be thus," it smacks very strongly of bossism. But then, Tommy got so badly left in that collectorship business that he probably hasj concluded that his "power" as a Brown county boss don't count for much anyhow with the boys at headquarters. i Thanksgiving to-morrow. 4 No new cases of diphtheria have been reported since our last issue. The re port that a case existed in the family of Jpfjohn Hirsch was happily without foun dation. The seven-year-old boy of Mr. I Lang, reported ill with diphtheria last I Veek, died on Thursday but the at tending physician is in doubt whether death ensued from the disease or from a dose of kerosene oil administered to the patient on the advise of a neighbor. Another loathsome fluid, but harmless 5n its nature, was also given to the sick child, unbeknown to the physician in charge. Is it any wonder that death ensues under such circumstances? Don't fail to take in the Silver Cornet Band Thanksgiving ball at Turner Hall, to-morrow evening. S*AIS ^Senator Peterson informs a Dispatch reporter that he does not want an extra session of the legislature.^f- A, i 1 The boys are burning off the grass in the slough between First and Second South streets preparatory to flooding the slough for a skating park. The chicken and waffle supper at Mrs. Newhart's residence last Wednes day evening, was a grand social suc cess. The supper netted the Congre gational society about $30,00. The special city election for a suc cessor to Councilor Brust, resigned, oc curs next Tuesday. Candidates are numerous, but no effort at concentra tion has yet been attempted. It seems to be a free for all race. On Tuesday evening, January 19th next, Hecker Post No. 48 G. A. R. will publicly install the new officers of the Post. A camp-fire and social hop will follow the installation. A committee is now working up a programme. *,Married, at the residence of thebride groni, in the town of Leavenworth, on Sunday, November 22, 1885, by Justice John Huiras, Mr. E. C. Brown to Miss Mary Frederickson, of Prairievilie. Congiatulations of friends are extended. The Minnesota branch of the Nation al Railroad Agents association was or ganized at Owatonna last Wednesday. Agent Heideman of this city had made all preparations to attend the meeting, but was prevented from so doing at the last moment. A great many chickens have died this fall in various parts of the Minne sota Valley by a disease supposed to De chicken cholera. The St Peter Herald recommends a teaspoonful each of soda and sulphur in a quart of milk as a sure cure. The water-ways committee of the Mankato Board of Trade have decided to call a convention, at Mankato, and have sent out a circular letter to ascer tain the wishes of the people along the river towns as to the time best suited their convenience. The convention will probably be held in the last half of December. As there is no organized body of business men in this city, the city council will no doubt take the mat ter in hand and designate a few live business men to represent New Ulm in the convention. St. Peter Tribune:Mr. A. Bogen, son of the editor of the New Ulm Post, was in town Monday and was seen in mysterious conference with "Jack." What's in the wind now? Can it be that there is a new candidate for the New Ulm postoffice? Yes, Mr. B. had a postoffice bee buz zing around under hisjhat,but on second thought he concluded the office wasn't worth having anyhow, and the contest has simmered down to a three-cornered fight. All the candidates are now play ing their trump cards, and all three are confident of the last trick. The Chicago & Northwestern does not propose to give its trainmen a chance to lodge a complaint of unfair treatment against the company. The new schedule which goes into effect December 1st, increases the salary of third-class conductors to $60 per month second-class, $70, and first-class, $ Brakemen will receive $45 and $50 per month. The regular run is 100 miles a day and all milage in excess of that will be credited as extra, and extra pay will be allowed. As long as the com pany shows such a liberal disposition towards its employes, the patrons of the road will not be discommoded with a strike. A case of infanticide is reported from the town of Cornish, Sibley county. It appears that Miss Helga Sanders, aged about 20 years, gave birth to a child un beknown to the members of the family in which she was employed as a ser vant, and to hide her shame she killed and buried her offspring near the house Subsequently she exhumed the body and threw it into a slough. The family noticing something Wrong with the girl, she was questioned as to the cause of her distress, and last Saturday she con essed having killed her new born child and the subsequent disposal of the body but says she did not realize the heneous ness of her crime until after the deed had been perpetrated. In her excite ment she did not closely observe the place where she threw the body into the slough and now she is unable to find it. That now she is nearly dis tracted may well be imagined. The matter will no doubt be brought to the attention of the officers of Sibley coun- *& i&Mtigft Throat-ail seldom gets well of itself, but deepens until it undermines the constitution, wastes away health, strength and flesh, and finally fastens itself on the lungs, completing the wreck and ruin of the whole man.

Pleasant to take and safe for children. [4] New Ulm Actors Abroad. Pioneer PRM: At Turner hall, Minneapolis, Satur day evening, and at the St, Paul Athe naeum last evening, the dramatic sec tion of the New Ulm Turners' society presented the famous farcical comedy by the brothers Schonthau, "Der Baub der Sabinerinnen." It would be unjust to judge the acting of amateurs by a se vere standard. It may be said in gen eral that there was a lack of that well marked characterization and lively ac tion necessary to the best presentation of a comedy which largely depends for its effects upon the "go" put into it. E G. Pahl looked the professor better than he played the character. Miss Theresa Fay was excellent as the pro fessor's termagant wife, and Miss Ida Mueller was poutingly pleasing as Pau la. G. W. Scherer's dialect was the best part of his delineation of the man ager. The other characters were taken by F. Pfcender, A. Seiter, Sr., G. Fisch er, W. Peterman, Miss Emilie Fay and Miss Bertha Fischer. Volkszeitnng Never before this year has the Athe naeum been so crowded as it was yes terday evening, on the occasion of the presentation of the comedy "Der Baub der SabMervnnenj" by the dramatic section of the New Ulm Turnverein, and a more hearty reception has never been accorded the most 'renowned players. The piece offers so many comic scenes that the audience was kept in continual laughter. As good players distinguished themselves E. G. Pahl, Geo. W. Scherer and A. Seiter, Sr. The best played lady characters were those by Miss Ida Mueller (with her musical voice) and Miss Theresa Fay, who was brilliant as the profes sor's wife. But all players done their best and the boquets presented to the ladies were well earned. The editor of the REVIEW is inform ed that our players were greeted by a very poor house in Minneapolis, only about $80 being taken at the door. At St. Paul over $300 was taken in, and the actors can not say enough in praise of their reception and treatment in the saintly city. What is the matter with the mail ag ents on the Winona & St.Peter road? Of late it has been of frequent occurrence that eastern mail is thrown into our postoffice from trains from the west This shows very conclusively that the mail has been carried by, and is a very unsatisfactory state of affairs. If the force is insufficient to work up the mail properly, they should be given addi tional help, if, on the other hand, it is the result of carelessness or incapacity, the delinquent agents should be given the s. b. The Sleepy Eye Herald critices Judge Webber because he did not hold the term of court in Redwood county open for two or three days, and until the at torneys for Mr. Alexander, indicted for murder, were ready to go to trial. We are reliably informed that this is never done, and although in the power of the Judge to do so, it would be an exceed ingly bad precedent to establish, say ing nothing of the unnecessary costs that would be saddled upon the coun ty. The insinuation that Judge Web ber is an unfeeling man, and would knowingly do a criminal an injustice, is uncalled for, to say the least. All of Judge Webber's acquaintances will bear us out in the assertion that he is a most conscientiousJmau, and that he has discharged his everv duty as Judge in a spirit of fairness. It is not neces sary for his honor to place himself in the prisoner's position "for an instant" to define his duties as Judge. The Illinois Farm and Fruit Grower tells of a new racket that is being work edon the farmers. Here it is: "A traveling agent of a butter firm is going through the country selling rights to make butter by the aid of a r cipe. He sold one to a gentleman in Williamson county, and "although the fentlemae saw the agent make the utter, failed to do it after repeated trials. The plan is to take a few pounds of good butter,say four pounds, add it to two gallons of milk which has been setting for souring: a certain time, and then churn together. He claimed that the amount oi butter would be doubled and he did produce that effect in the presence of several persons. This was done by simply adding something to the milk to make it curdle, and "then by gentle churning he mixes Ihe mass of butter with the curds of milk, leav ing but a small quantity of serum in the churn. It is an ingenious contriv ance, and is well calculated to deceive the unwary, as it looks and tastes like butter. A lady friend who was pres ent, after the agent left, went to work on the butter and reduced it to its orig inal bulk, barring a few ounces. Now, of all butter frauds, this is one of the shrewdest and most easily imposed on dairymen, and yet it is perfectly worth less to those who buy the right It is well calculated to deceive both dairy men and consumer. The butter made by this process is really a mixture of butter and cheese. It very quickly be comes decomposed if left standing!" An effort is making looking toward thetvganisation of a Board of Trade. Below see the call for a meetng. Ju3t as we were about ready to go to press a call for a caucus was handedpn, which appears elsewhere in this issue.
