N O I E As was contemplated at the time the Review was purchased by myself and Mr. Brooks, the paper has now pass ed entirely into his possession. This announcement should have been made earlier, but we presumed it to be no body's business but our own. Since other papers have seen fit to use it in a political way, this public announce ment is made in justice to the friends of both papers. W. R. HODGES, Aug. 27, 1904. Sleepy Eye. The opening of the State fair should not cause people to lose sight of the fact that Brown county will have a fair this year that will be worth while seeing. Let us see if a new interest cannot be awakened in the local fair and a good time had by everybody. The nomination of John A. Johnson of St. Peter for the office of governor on the democratic ticket, places one of nature's own noblemen in a position to secure the highest honor the people of the state can confer on one of their citizens. It is up to the voters of the state to say whether they will have a good republican or a good democrat rule over them. With this issue of the Review Oliver J. Quane, who has been with the pa per nearly a year and a half, leaves and goes to the St. Peter Herald where he assumes editorial manage ment. Mr. Quane's work on the Re view has been of the highest order and the loss to the Review will be felt for some time. Few newspaper men have the appreciation for what is called news that he has and wherever he goes he will be found at the fore front of the profession. He leaves with the goodwill and best wishes of the writer as well as the large circle of friends he and his wife have formed in this city. This paper has only one adviser in regard to its policy and that is the writer. If any of our good friends are losing sleep over the matter we are free to inform them that Mr. Hodges does not meddle in the management of the Review, nor suggest the conditions of its operation. His kindness in try ing to help the writer to secure a busi ness of his own has cost him more than any of the slurs or contumely that either the Journal or News can heap upon him. The management of their own business would probably net them more real money than their propensity to meddle in the affairs of others. California Prune Wafers are a good inveptment.

Singl We nave ever cautioned our good brother Liesch to be careful with his editorials whenever he takes up his pencil it makes us unnecessary trou ble, and this last spasm about a "Court House Ring" is so hideously bucolic that it is fairly verdant with the growth of a month's-old grain field, and must lend a picture to a reader, who does not know the rotund editor of the Journal, of a man with long whiskers and a sharp nose who thinks he owns the earth when all he has is a mortgaged 40 acres, a garden full of small potatoes and an ambition to be path master of his district. We have all met them—they are known in vulgar parlance as sore-heads. Here is the peculiar part of the whole thing: A short time ago Bro. Green was calling Bro. Liesch (this term "Bro. is professional etiquette) all the names possible to put in print and circulate through the postoffice and Liesch swore eternal damnation on the body and soul of his neighbor. But last week when the Review reached our brother of magnificent propor tions, he waxed unusually friendly and we have a view of him visiting the News office. "Did you see it Bro. Green?" "Oh Lord yes!" gasps the News edi tor. "It's a ring. I know it," wails the Journal man. "I used to get all the job work from the court house and now I am pesitive the Review was giv en one job." "I know it. The candidates don't even put their cards in our papers." And then these two great, big babies (we can't dignify them by calling them old women) sat down and agreed to stultify themselves by making public what they know to be false, knew when they concocted the story that was as far from the truth as they each are from being what the creator intended them to be: manly men. It has] been said that God never made a mistake but we have to make an exception when we take in the crea ion of these two. We have to presume, then, that Liesch went back to his office and, after his English had been corrected, sent a proof of his article to the News, for the two editorials are so similar and that in the News so foreign to the general stagnant trend of that paper, that one parent is only possible. They both clip the following from the Review, which is the only true thing in the article: "The Review will advocate there turn of present officials, namely: Lou is G. Vogel for auditor, Wesley C. Miller for register of deeds, John Schneider for treasurer. S. A. George for judge of probate, Einar Hoidale for county attorney, Wm. J. Julius for sheriff, John Cutting for superin tendent, George Boock for surveyor, L. A. Fritsche for coroner, and for representative S. D. Peterson." Then comes this pyrotechnical dis play of crudity. Quoting from the New York Sun: "This hell broth of dishwater and dynamite:" Journal Whether the article in the Review was in spired by the county officials endorsed re mains to be explained In order to satisfy the Journal that the re publican county offi cers above mentioned have not joined in a court house ring we demand an explana tion on th«ir part. What we desire to know* Was the above announcement sanct ioned by them' Have they designated the Review as the organ of the ring' Unless a satisfactory explana tion is given to the Journal which will fully exonorate them we will be compelled to take further steps to stamp out this in iquitous practice in republican county pol itics. We do not pre tend to call to account the democrats as it is not within our prov ince to do so News. Whether this article was inspired bv the county officers" en dorsed or not. it looks suspicious, and the News has a right to de mand an explanation at least of the demo crats mentioned as the favorites of the Review. The News further has a right to demand and does now and here demand to know if a court house ring has been formed to control the offices of Brown County, to bar out all but the old officers, and if the Re view is the ring organ. If such proves to be the fact this paper has no hesitancy ad vising all the voters of the county outside of such ring to vote for the nomination of new men at the pri maries, to free them selves from the domi nation of the ring,and follow it up by voting for new men at the general election. Who are these men to whom the Democrats and Republicans must ex plain vWho is Liesch that he dictates to the News its political policy and "demands an explanation" when his apologies were in better taste? He would be a petty, political tyrant rich, because he has preyed on his good-natured friends strong, in his Trust BakiDg Powders sell for 45 or SO cents per pound and may be iden tified by this exorbitant price. They are a menace to public health, -V. »fe food prepared from them con-*^ tains large quantities of RochelleJ i* salts, a dangerous cathartic drug.Jp: fe^ I m»ipgppgp «PP mind, because he has visions of pow er: great, only when he can sell his supposed influence for a few pretzels and a glass of beer. When a man imagines he is the whole show it is about time to stop the performance. Brown county is not at present, nev er has been and as long as these two complaining editors are kept in their places, never will be controlled by a political ring. If that is what the above gentlemen want let them go to Redwood or Blue Earth counties. In justice to the men mentioned in the Review, many of whom had not filed at that time, and who are "de manded" by these self-constituted gods of judgment to prostrate themselves in humility before their brazen thrones, we will say that the Review consulted no one as to whom it should support. The county is well officered. There is no need of a change. The records are well kept and the men are all gentlemen who are justi fied in taking umbrage at what Billy Bounce and Foxy Grandpa have said and, what is worse, implied. Political Ring! It is a ghost of the past, and these two Rip van Winkles dig it up and parade it before the peo ple as the essence of life. If the peo have the good judgment usually ac credited to them they will cry, away with such nonsense! Back to your graves, ye worm-eaten, moth-eaten, dust-covered, ghastly crowd, with your sepulchral mutterings you are the laughing stock of the public and the sport of an unwise fate! Bow down to you! When any sensible man does that he is unfit for office. BIG DAY FOR FORESTERS State Initiation to Be Held Next Sunday. High Court Officers Will Be in St. Paul. Exercises I the Metropolitan Op era House. Next Sunday, September 4th, will be a big day for the Catholic Foresters of Minnesota. On that date the spe cial state initiation will be held in St. Paul and officers of the state court look for a mammoth attendance. Spe cial trains will run from all of the principal cities and thousands of mem bers of the Catholic Order of Foresters will go to the capital city to witness and take part in the ceremonies. This affair is similar to the one held at Oelwein, Iowa, during the summer and an effort will be made to dupli cate the success of the Iowa meeting. The exercises will be held in the Metro politan opera house and a special train from Chicago will bring the offi cials from the national court, together with the members of the high court de gree team. On account of the meeting Andrew J. Eckstein, chief ranger of St. John Court, No. 698, of this city, has se cured from the Chicago & Northwest ern railway a rate of $1.75 for the round trip from this place to St. Paul. Excursionists can leave on the early morning train, reach St. Paul in time for the opening of the initiation and return home at midnight. At present there are fifty or more of the local lodge who have arranged to attend and a number of delegations are ex pected from courts in the immediate vicinity. For the initiation itself St. John Court will furnish nineteen candidates and practically every court in the state will come forward with its quota. All told there will be several hundred can didates and the work will be of a high order. Artillery Needs Recruits. Major L. G. Vogel has received a letter from Capt. Thos. Ridgway, of the artillery corps, Fort Snelling, and it now appears that there is one more obstacle in the way of the Tenth and Thirtieth batteries coming to New Ulm for target practice. In the neighbor hood of forty men in each battery will have completed their terms of service this month and will receive their discharges, and unless their places can be filled no attempt will be made to shoot at the targets. Capt. Ridgway writes that he has asked for more men and expects the next batch of recruits, the last having been sent to Fort Riley, Kansas. Waconia Wants Help. Mayor Chas. Silverson last week received an appeal for aid from the village of Waconia, which suffered during the cyclone of August 20th. The circular was signed by a relief committee of Waconia business -men and recited the fact that many of the residents had suffered great loss and been rendered practically destitute as a result of the storm. The mayor took the matter up with several of the alder men and it was deemed no more than proper to forward a check for $100. New Ulm people have not forgotten the time they stood in need of just such assistance and can appreciate the value of contributions."

SHAFT IN "HORNET'S NEST" Artillery Veterans W a Monu- Will Petition Legislature Fo an Appropriation. First Minnesota Battery's Par in Famou Struggle. Veterans of the First Minnesota Battery of Light Artillery are de sirious of having a monument erected on the battlefield of Shiloh, where the command received its baptism of fire. Although the battery participated in a number of the pitched battles and sieges of the west, the state has never rewarded its services with a testi monial of this kind and the survivors now purpose petitioning the legislature for an appropriation. At their annual reunion in St. Paul today they will take up the matter and adopt a reso lution making known their wants. When the battery was organized nineteen New Ulm enlisted but only nine survive and but four, Col. Wm. Pfaender, Louis Schilling, F. Gerboth and A. Peterson, now reside in the city. The first-named gentleman was in command of the battery at Pitts burg Landing and his comrades are looking to him to secure an appropri ation. With this end in view he has drafted the following resolution, which he will read at today's reunion: Whereas, The United States Govern ment has established the site of the battlefield of Shiloh, in the State of Tennesee, as a National Park, in which a number of states have caused monuments to be erected to commemor ate the services of their volunteers, and Whereas, The First Minnesota Battery was the only Minnesota or ganization engaged in that memorable battle and occupied one of the most important positions in the first day's fight, only leaving the field after General Prentiss had been made prisoner and General W. H. L. Wal lace had been mortally wounded on leaving the battery to direct the re treat Be It Resolved, That we the under signed, surviving members of the First Minnesota Battery, respectfully re quest the members of the legislature of the State of Minnesota to use their best efforts to secure the erection, by the State, of a suitable monument marking the position of said battery in the so called "Hornet's Nest" on said battle field of Shiloh. The part played by the First Min nesota at the battle of Shiloh was most noteworthy. Recruited in 1861 it was assigned to Gen. Sherman's division and with him marched to Pittsburg Landing. On the day before the battle it was transferred to the di vision of Gen. Prentiss and joined its new command Saturday morning, April 5, 1862. Gen. Prentiss and his men formed the left of the Union line and upon them fell the brunt of the first attack. For the First Minnesota Battery, the only Minnesota troops engaged, it was, as indeed was the case with the greater portion of Grant's army, the first experience in actual warfare. Aroused by the loud firing along their front before 6- o'clock Sunday morn ing, they were ordered to the firing line and within ten minutes were plunged into one of the heaviest en gagements of the war. A galloping aide brought their or ders to prepare for the struggle and behind the Fifth Ohio Battery, the re maining artillery of their division, they made their way to the front. Their advance was made through a perfect maize of retreating infantry men and little time was lost in going into action, for the rebels were liter ally upon them—so close, indeed, that the Ohio battery was routed and com pelled to flee before it could fire a shot. Two guns belonging to the Ohio men were captured and an attempt was made to turn them upon their former owners, but this was frustrated by the quick and accurate firing of the Minnesota soldiers. Capt. Emil Munch was wounded in side of four minutes and the command devolved upon William Pfaender, sen ior first lieutenant. That officer main tained his position for about twenty minutes, sweeping the field in front of him free of the enemy and effectually holding them in check, but as two of his guns were disabled and his infan try supports, the Sixteenth and Eigh teenth Wisconsin regiments, cut to pieces, he found the spot untenable and withdrew, taking the two damaged pieces with him. These guns were in the section commanded by the late Lieutenant Fischer and were manned by the men who enlisted at New Ulm. They were sent to the rear, ^vhere Lieut. Fischer transferred the barrel of one to the carriage of the othei and thus secured one serviceable gun He returned to the front but was unable to find the battery and fought inde pendently until evening, when be re joined his command on the bank of the river. After retreating from the first posi tion- Lieut. Pfaender selected a second upon a commanding knoll and held it for several hours. When at lass com pelled to retreat, the battery, with the troops of Gens. Prentiss and W H. L. Wallace, fell back for some distance and then prepared to make aiother stand. The spot chosen was ijpon a wooded hill, with open fields over which the rebels must advance, and here the fighting was so fierce and the slaughter so great that it afterward became known as the "Hornet's Nest." Repeatedly the position was charged by the enemy but each time they were repulsed with loss and it was in the immediate front that Sidney Johnson, the Confederate commander, waskilled. The only artillery engaged at this point was the First Minnesota and a portion of a Missouri battery, but the execution done by the big guns was frightful and principally to their ef forts was due the fact that it was pos sible to hold out until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, an hour after the troops upon either flank had been withdrawn. The final repulse came a few minutes after the hour named, when, charging in overwhelming numbers, the Con federates surrounded and captured Gen. Prentiss and his entire command. Witnessing the catastrophe, Gen. Wallace turned to Lieut. Pfaender and ordered him to take his guns to the rear, the last command ever given by that gallant officer, as he was shot and killed an instant afterward. As he hastened to comply with the order, the New Ulm officer found himself* cut off by flanking rebels and it .was only after unlimbering his guns and using canister at short range that he was enabled to withdraw in safety. Driven back a distance of six miles or more, the Union army made its final defense upon the very bank of the Tennessee river. Stationed along deep ravine were the thirty-two cannons remaining to the force and these decided the fortunes of the day. From their position at the head of the ravine the First Minnesota was the only battery having an enfilading fire and in his official report Gen. Sher man speaks especially of the havoc wrought by these gunners. At the ravine the Confederate ad vance stopped and on the following day, with reinforcements, the federal army was able to retrieve its fortunes and drive the enemy from the field. During the remainder of the war the battery fought in all of the big battles of the west but in no other was the fighting so continuous or so sharp as at Shiloh and the survivors desire that the monument to their vlor be erected on that famous battlefield. Iowa, Ohio and many other states have erected marble columns to the men who fought at Shiloh and it is noG likely that Minnesota will refuse to do likewise. At Gettysburg, Chick am auga and on other fields this state has marked the positions occupied by its infantrymen and the gunners will not be refused recognition. Mutual Ready For Business. At a recent meeting of the board of directors of the Minnesota Mutua1 Fire Insurance Company of New Ulm, J. P. Read of Mankato, until recently a representative of the Security Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Chatfield, was elected assistant secretary and manager of the local company.
