"The days of Spring slip by like golden sands." It takes real sand ('golden sand) to buy novel patterns and ultra styles from the highest priced manufactur ers, but we've done it and we know the men in New Ulm have sand enough to buy the best the best in suits—in top coats—in fur nishings—in hats—and we buy back any and all arti cles failing to reach your standard. $10—$12—$15—$20—$30.

Fires Twice at Rival For a Girl's Affections. His Haste and the Darkness Pre vent a Tragedy. One of the neighborhoods in the eastern part of the city was thrown into a state of considerably more than mild excitement Thursday evening by a meeting between two rivals for a girl's affections. One of them tried his utmost to make'work for the coroner but his haste and the darkness of the night prevented a tragedy. He fired two shots from a big revolver but neither took effect and the only satis faction he obtained was that of witness ing the other swain in ignominious flight. The affair which culminated so sen sationally is the old, familiar story of a brace of candidates for the hand of one fair maid. In this case the young lady is rather prepossessing and seems conscious of her charms. She has had a devoted admirer for some time but recently a second youth appeared to beg for favors and while he was not encouraged greatly, he was still allow ed to bask in the occasional sunshine of her smiles. Some accounts of his presumption having reached the ears of the favored one, the latter meditated upon a pro per punishment and conceived a most melodramatic climax. He is said to have made the elegant remark that he would "fix the sucker for butting in" and then went about making hostile preparations, at the same time sending word that war had been declared. Last Thursday evening the young man and the girl were at the home of a neighbor and as they stepped out upon the porch preparatory to leav ing they came face to face with the sec ond suitor. For an instant both men were disconcerted, then lover No. 1 executed a bit of gun play in the most approved frontier style. He whipped out a big revolver and fired two shots in quick succession, but his'antagon ist was quick to see that the Japanese had exploded a mine under his battle ship and he steamed to the rear at the rate of about forty knots. By dodging around a corner of the building he eluded his pursuer for a E E S FAMILY SALVE DeWitt's Witch Hazel gives instant relief from Burns, cures Cuts, Bruises, Sores, Eczema, Tetter and all abra sions of the skin.

Hitchcock of Crookston, Buys Schneider Property. County Treasurer John Schneider on Monday closed a deal with Chas. A. Hitchcock of Crookston, whereby the latter becomes the owner of the big livery stable at the corner of Broad way and Center street. Negotiations between the parties have been carried on for some time and last week Mr. Schneider took a trip to Crookston. He returned Sunday with C. A. Hitch cock and Geo. Purvis of that place, and after examining the property the former decided to buy. By the terms of the deal Mr. Hitch cock transfers 342-acres of land near Marshall to the former owner and the latter releases all his rights and interest in the barn and its contents, including the horses and rigs. Pos session is to be given today and the new proprietor will take charge per sonally. C. A Hitchcock, the new owner, is a pleasant gentleman to meet and will undoubtedly prove an acquisition to New Ulm's business circles. He was formerly mayor of Crookston. Mr. Hitchcock is not without experience in the livery business and the Review be speaks success for him. Alleged Fire Bug Captured. Hugh Carson, a young farmer living near Fairfax, was arrested in South Dakota last week and is being held as the person responsible for the burning of the Phoenix Roller mills of that place last February. Carson was brought back to Fairfax Saturday morning and arraigned but the state was not in readiness to prosecute and his preliminary examination was fixed for Friday. It is said that the evidence against Carson is very strong and there is a rumor to the effect that the detectives who worked on the case have secured evidence which will throw light upon other crimes. About ten years ago Carson's father was found dead under strange circumstances and the young man's present difficulty has revived ugly stories. Would Recover For Team. Papers were served Monday in an action to recover damages for a team of horses and the case will come up at the May term of the district court. Martin Mickelson of Linden, is the plaintiff and he asks damages in the sum of $30Qb from Herman and Siver Nundahl of Hanska. On the night of Pebruarj 13th. last. Mickelson was returning home from Hanska in a blinding snow storm. His team wan dered off the road and out upon the frozen surface of Linden Lake. During the day the Nundahls had been cutting ice near the road and the horses fell into the hole. Both were drowned and Mickelsonnarrowly escaped. He places his loss at $300 and has retained Hoidale & Somsen as his attorneys. Building Plans Accepted. A meeting of the committee having charge of the new Catholic parochial school building was held Monday morning to pass upon the plans for the structure. These were presented in person by Architect A. J. Van Deu sen of Winona, and proved so satis factory that they were adopted by the committee. The specifications are to arrive within a few days and as soon as they put in an appearance bids will be advertised for. From this time on ward the committee will transact its business as expediently as possible, as it is desired to have the school house ready for use in the fall. Low Rate Granted. Andrew J.

Products Are to Be Shown in Agri cultural Building. Gold Coin flour and the various oth er brands manufactured by the Eagle Roller Mill company will be exhibited this summer at the Louisiana Purchase Expositionj at St. Louis, which opens on the 30th of this month and closes December 1st. All arrangements have been completed with the Minnesota Board of Managers for the World's Fair and a very desireable bit of floor space has been secured in the agricul tural building. That the Eagle mill's exhibit will be meritorious goes without saying. The management has a reputation for never doing a thing by halves and in this instance no expense will be spared to make the display attractive. Glass cases will be used in which to show the flour in bulk and they will also support silk sacks filled with the pro duct. The display will not only be a big advertisement for the company but also for New Ulm, and it is but natur al that all our citizens should take pride in it. New Ulm flour enjoys a splendid reputation in this country and abroad for its purity and excel lence, and the money spent in making the exhibit will without doubt prove a good investment. At the Columbian Exposition at Chi cago in 1893 the peerles Gold Coin car ried off one of the highest awards and it will not be surprising if it is again successful at St. Louis. C0LLLGL TLAM WINS Won First Baseball Game of Season Saturday. In the first baseball game of the season, played at the fair grounds SfetHgday afternoon, the^Dr. Martin Luther college team woa-from the New Ulm high school by a score of 11 to 7. The clubs were very evenly matched and the contest was by no means one sided, giving a good exhibition to the large crowd of spectators. A series of three games will be played by the two schools for the championship of the city, which is now held by the college. Pitcher Ehlen, of the college, was in good form Saturday. Early in the game he was batted rather freely but in the fourth inning he steadied down and after that the high school boys could not negotiate with his curves. Otto Burmeister pitched for the high school and did very well until the latter part of the contest, when his opponents batted out enough runs to win. The score by innings was as follows: College 2 1 2 0 0 1 2 3 0—11 High School 2 1 3 0 0 0 0 0 1—7 Paid Loss on Building1. In settling the fire loss upon Repre sentative S. D. Peterson's residence, a representative of the Springfield Fire & Marine Insurance company accord ed the owner of the building very lib eral treatment. The face- of the' policy carried by Mr. Peterson was $3,000 and was obtained through the local agent. N. Henningsen. On Thursday Robert Rose of Minneapolis, state agent for the company, came to New Ulm and after viewing the rums he settled upon a satisfactory basis, al lowing Mr. Peterson the sum of $2. 900. Mr. Peterson has not fully decid ed, but will probably rebuild. Labor Convention Called. Dispates from Duluth say that Secretary-Treasurer Wm. E. McEwen on Monday issued a call for the twenty second annual convention of the Minne sota Federation of Labor, to be held in this city June 13th to 15th.

Editor Higgins to Leave. Chas W. Higgins, for the past nine months editor of the Brown County Journal, has resigned his position and will leave in about two weeks to do newspaper work in Minneapolis.
