If any of the REVIEW readers are troubled with the California fever, now is the time to get. Tickets were sell ing last Saturday from Kansas City to San Francisco for $1,00. The New Ulm correspondent of the Sleepy Eye Herald suggests Mr. E. G, Koch for the city clerkship. Mr. Koch is a good man but, we have our doubts whether he cares to bother with the of fice. The Courtland and Lafayette stock company received their $2,000 Percha ron horse last Saturday. He comes from Castle Rock, .Dakota Co., and is said to be imported from France. He is a beautv and no mistake. Two saloons and the Herald office in SJBt. Peter were burned out on Wednes day night of last week. The latter ap peared on Friday on time, as bright and newsy as ever. The Herald men are rattlers and no mistake. One of the conductors on the Winona & St. Peter railroad celebrated his birthday recently by furnishing his friends with loaded cigars. As a con equence a good many railroad men hre now laving for that conductoi. The Winona Republican says that some very ornamental galvanized iron work for the St. Alexander's Hospital and the Meridian block at New Ulm, is *jrfein manufactured at the works of ^vlr. Jacob Sherffius in that city. Congressman Wakefield, who ap peared before the House water-ways committee in the interest of the Minne sota river, says no appropriation will this year be made for the improvement of the river, but that there will be one for a new survey. Mr. Wm. Wellner, of the town of Lafa} ette, last Saturday had a shoulder dislocated bv being knocked down*and ragged around his yard by a frighten ed horse. Dr. Muller has the unfortu nate man in charge and he is getting along as well as could be expected. S) Franz Schnobrich, employed in Jos.

Dr. Berry dressed the wound, and, although some of the cords of the leg were severed, he is in hopes of bringing him around all right. Peter Zimmet, Jr., aged 22 years, 1 month and 12 days, son of Peter Zim met of Lafayette, died last Thursday of consumption. His remains were in terred at the Catholic cemetery in this city last Saturday. Deceased was a young man of much prominence "Jtskl his untimely death is greatly regretted by his large circle of friends. Our friend Huebner, of the Washing ton House, who is of a genial and kind disposition, was somewhat ruffled one day last week to find that two "gentle men" from British Columbia, to whom he had given shelter over night, -had departed without taking all their "im- ported" stock with them. He caged the "stragglers" and now has them on J^hibition, charging ten cents for a peep. Fritz Grefe, eight-year-old son of Franz Grefe, met with a distressing accident last Friday evening while viewing the, eclipse. He was sitting on '-the railing immediately in the rear of Turner Hall and losing his balance he fell off backwards into the basement, a distance of some ten or eleven feet, breaking his left leg above the knee. Dr. Muller reduced the fracture and the little sufferer is getting along as well could be expected ai jg.* feD Go to F. H.

A troup of Bavarians will appear in the Turner Hall Thursday and Friday evenings in their original songs and co micalities. See announcement in an other column. i Mayor Weschcke last Thursday re ceived the congratulations of his friends, it being the occasion of his 55th birth day. In the evening he was serenaded by the City and Silver Cornet bands. The following from an exchange is very pertinent just now for New Ulm: A perfect town is that in which you see farmers patronize the home mer chants, laborers spend the money they earn with their own tradesmen, "and all animated by the spirit that they will purchase at home. The spirit of reci procity between business men and me chanics, tradesmen and laborers, farm ers and manufacturers, results every time in making the town a satisfactory one to do business in. Now that the Brown County Agri cultural society has opened a^new led ger and decided to transact its business on week days, noneat least not many are excluded on account of tneir re ligious belief, and all friends of the so ciety should now take hold and make the coming county fair an unprecedent ed success. We certainly shall be greatly disappointed if tnere is not a hearty response from the western por tion of the oountv. There was a considerable stir in the wheat market in this city last week. On Wednesday considerable wheat was bought for 79 and 78 cents per bushel, the result of the spirited competition between the buyers. As high as 85 cents was paid for one or two loads on Thursday, but before the rush com menced the price dropped back to 75 cents and later to 72 cents, the latter being the price at the closing of busi ness Saturday. The town was crowd ed with farmers, many coming a long distance with their wheat. The Tracy Trumpet reports five rail road accidentsjas having occurredat or near that place within a few days, the last occurring last Thursday evening when Henry Kernan, well known in this city, had his foot run over and will probably lose it. A brakeman named John Boyl, formerly an engineer, was killed on Monday of last week. On the same day yardman Heywood and brake man McKeever both lost some of their fingers while switching in the yard at Tracy. Cady's misfortune on the Sa turday previous has already been re ported in these columns. Building operations have already be gun. Louis Buenger has a force of workmen engaged excavating under his store building for a basement. The mason work will begin in a day or so and walls Mill be carried up heavy enough to bear the weight of a four story building. The construction of the building, however, Mr. Buenger will defer until another season. Workmen are a1 so engaged in exca- vating for Dr. Weschcke's new resi dence, which, we are informed, will be one of the largest and finest in the city. In pursuance of a resolution of the city council, the people will be invited to assemble in Turner Hall on Friday evening, March 26th, for the purpose of considering the proposition of issu ing the city's bonds in the sum of $2,- 900, running ten years and bearing in terest at the rate of 6 per cent., for the purpose of taking up the 8 per cent bonds in the sum of $2,900, now due and payable. We understand that the city caucus committee has also decided to call a nominating caucus for that evening, the same to be held immedi ately after the adjournment of the citi zens' meeting. The committee of the Courtland and Lafayette Horse company entrusted with the duty of purchasing a stock horse for the use of the company, visit ed Leonhard Johnson's Maple Point farm, near Castle Rock, Dakota county, Minn., and made the purchase of a full-blood Percheron horse, paying Mr. Johnson therefor the sum of $1850 cash. The horse was delivered to the company at this place last Saturday. He is 5 years old, 17 hands high and weighs 1960 pounds. He was exhibited at the New Orleans stock fair last year and awarded third premium. At the Minnesota State Fair last year he car ried off second premium. The commit tee speak very highly of their treatment by Mr. Johnson and pronounce him a reliable man to deal with. We are in formed that he is an importer of fine horses, visiting France annually, and that he has imported 1432 horses for Dunham, the great Illinois stockman, alone. The committee do^not hessitate to recommend him to all in quest of fine horses, A Brawn County ImM iSY-rvsa? A Large'and Enthusiastic Meeting. Addition of a Large List of New Names. The Annual Fair and the Regular Meetings to be Here after held on Week Days. The quarterly meeting of the Brown County Agricultural society was held last Sunday afternoon in Turner Hall. The meeting was very largely attended and everyone present entered into the work before the society with a will. President Runk presided and Ben. Juni performed the duties of scribe, while treasurer Heideman was kept busy col lecting the annual dues. The minutes of the December meet ing were read and approved. Secretary Juni read a communication from Sec. Judson of the State society, inviting suggestions in regard to the make-up of the premium list for the coming State Fair. The committee appointed to purchase grounds for the use of the society, re ported they had purchased the three lots immediately south of the Turner Hall consideration, $350. The report of the committee was accepted and ap proved. Mr. Heideman, from the committee on revision of the treasurer's books, made report that they had found every thing in satisfactory condition. The report was accepted and the committee discharged. The following named gentlemen were admitted to membership: Jacob Klossner, Jr., E. G. Pahl, S. D. Peter son, F. Baasen, C. L. Roos, C. H. Hornburg, C. W. A. Krook, Wm. Frank, Henry Crone, Jos. A. Eckstein, John Benlzin, L. C. Ives, R. Loheyde, M. Mullen, S. A. George, A. A. Bogen, J. B. Velikanje and W. Boesch. Mr. Heideman called the attention of the society to the unjust treatment of Mr. Mullen, as an exhibitor, at the last annual fair, inasmuch as a num ber of premiums which had been a warded him were paid over to other ex hibitors. The feeling was Universal that an injustice had been done Mr. Mullen, and on motion of Mr. Bobleter the following resolution was adopted unanimously: Resolved, that the full amount of the premiums awarded Mr. Mullen at the last annual fair of this society and sub sequently paid to other exhibitors be now allowed and an order drawn on the treasury payable to Mr. Mullen. Mr. Mullen said he was fully satis fied with the action which had been taken by the society in righting the wrong, and that he would turn back into the treasury the full amount, $20,00, allowed him by the foregoing resolution. Mr. Mullen's remarks were received with approval. Notice having Jbeen given at the De cember meeting of an amendment to the by-laws of the society, changing the annual dues of members from 50 cents to $1,00, so as to comply with the State law, the matter was taken up and disposed ef by making the propos ed change. At this juncture Mr. Heideman re ported that, with the intention of mak ing the coming exhibition of the socie ty worthy the name of an agricultural and stock fair, he had entered into correspondence with the Cosgrove Live Stock Co., of Le Sueur, Mr. A. Har rington, of Rochester, Mr. G. R. Case, of Lake Emily, and other owners of pure bred stock, requesting them to bring their stock here and exhibit the same at our county fair, and that in two or more instances he had received favorable reply. Mr. Heideman also stated that he had made a canvass of the city with a view of getting up a premium list in pamphlet form, and the result was so satisfactory that the work was already quite well advanced. On motion, the president appointed the following com mittee on premium list: C. W. H. Heideman, B. Juni, Wm. Pfaender, Fr. Fritsche and D. Haeberie. Up to this time the deliberations of the meeting had been guided by a spirit of harmony, but when Mr. Juni a rose and moved that hereafter the fairs of the society be held wholly on week days, the good spirit took wings and fled. Messrs. Heideman, Juni, Boble ter, Roos, Ives, Brandt, 0. Horn burg and others spoke in favor of the motion, while Mr. Westphal headed the opposition. While not opposed to the motion, Mr. Plath was of opinion that it would be very difficult to fix the time so as to suit all parties. Mr. Pfaender thought the society was not yet ready to vote on the question and favored postponement until the July meeting. After quite a spirited and lengthy discussion, the motion was a dopted by a 'good, majority, and the committee on premium list was in structed to fix the dates. It was also decided to hereafter live up to the by-laws of the society which designate the first Saturday in the months of March, June, September and December as the time for holding the regular meetings. Mr. C. C. Brandt, who for many ^mi^mmmtmmim years has been an active member of tbe society, informed the society of his intended removal from the State and took leave in a few fitting words. The president, in the name of the society, thanked Mr. Brandt for his untiring efforts in behalf of the society during his association with it. The board of trade having appropri ated $25 to defray expenses, it was vot ed that an exhibit of farm products be made under the auspices of the society at the coming State Fair. The business of the meeting wound up by the secretary presenting each member present with about 75 cents worth of vegetable seeds.

The regular monthly meeting of the board of trade was held last Friday evening and was quite largely attend ed, though Dut little business of public interest came up for consideration. The secretary gave notice of amend ments to the constitution and by-laws of the board, changing the time of re gular meetings of the board to the third Friday also thatjpersons seeking mem bership must make application to the board of directors, instead of to the full board as is now the case also a new clause, making the board of direc tors an auditing committee to whom all bills must be presented. The amend ments will be acted upon at the next meeting, April 9th. Tbe application for membership of F. W. Baarsch was reported, and at the next meeting Mr. Baarsch will be duly inducted. Mr. Hummel, from the committee on having published the proceedings^ the Board of Education, made report that the committee had waited on the board and that favorable action had been tak en,provided, however, thejpapers would publish the proceedings without charge. Considerable time was consumed in discussing the so-called "flying store" nuisance, and several impracticable plans were suggested to prevent tbe same from "alighting" and doing busi ness in our city, but the knotty question was not unraveled in tangible shape. On motion of Mr. Juni, the president of the board was instructed to appoint a standing committee of seven on legis lation. Just received a large invoice of fresh salt fish at F. H. Behnke. Mankato expects to have its street railway in operation by June 1st. The "Student von Ulm" will put in an appearance at Turner Hall March 21st. A goodly crowd will be there to receive him. The Young Men's Democratic Club will hold a meeting this evening in Turner Hall. See announcement in another column.

Mr. Otto Pless, head miller at the Empire Mill, last Monday evening mar ried the widow Oswald. The millers were out in full force to congratulate the happy couple. A. L. Chase, of Blue Earth City, was here last Saturday with a car load of store goods which he proposed to sell at auction. He was adviced to go fur ther west, which he finally concluded to do.

"Nord" stands for north, and "Mord" stands for murder. The con sternation of the Post folks may be im agined when last week they discovered that an innocent little letter had lo cated the hay market on the 1st "Mur der" street. Though provoking they are, such mistakes will occur in the best regulated printing offices. With the usual absurdity character izing the naming of post offices, the new post office will not be named Mil ford, but Essig.Herald. The town of Milford already has one postoffice by that name, and, according to the rules of the postoffice depart ment, there can be no two postoffice in the State named alike. But what's in a name, anyhow? Essig is good enough, even if it is,"vinegar" in English. If the ladies of New Ulm and vicinity are in need of flower pots, they can purchase them at F. H. Behnke.

The apportanities for ladies to find employment that is both suituable and remunerative are li mited their pay is usually poer as compared with the salaries paid to men in same lines of occupa tion. But there are some very noted exceptions journalum, the drama, music and the platform of fer equal advantages to men and women and there is one occupation in which women are generally more successful than men, and that is in the ma nagement of special agencies. By special agen eies we mean, they are given tbe exclusive con trol of the sale of. special articles that can not be bought at the stores, and, if the articles have merit, and are in demand, they area snre source of profit to the special ageut if properly handled. In this line the Cincinnati Suspender Company are offering inducements to ladies that we think ought to attract attention. They are manufact uring the now celebrated Queen City Skirt Sus penders for lames and misses and their unequaled Stocking Supporters for ladies and children. Oscar Wilde, in his "Philosophy of Dress," sajs, "the first and last rule is this, that each separate article of apparel is to be suspended from the shonlders always, and never from the waist. Na ture gives one no opportunity at all of suspending anything from the waist's delicate curve. Conse quently, by means of a tight corset, a regular ar tificial ledge had to be produced, from which the lower garments are hung. Where there are no suspenders there must be corsets adopt the for mer and the latter pisappear Catherine de- Me- dicis, High Priestess of poison and petticoats, in vented the corset Now corset* are wholly bad. Petticoats should be suspended fiom the shoul- ders*" No ladj or mis should be without sus penders. Our leading phycians recommend them and are loud in their praise of the Qceen City Suspenders. These goods arc manufactured by women, who have made the wants of ladies and children a study, and they ask us to refer them to some reliable and energetic lady to take the ex clusive sale of them, and we certainly think that an earnest solicitation in every household would meet with a ready response, and that a determined woman could make a handsome salary and ha-v an exclusive agency that would be very profit able. We advise any lady who is in need of em ployment to send to thia company her name and address Cplainly written), and mention this pa er Address The Cincinnati Suspender Co 179 Street, Cincinnati, Ohio.
