¥r W Soon the Fifteenth Battery of field artillery which has been on the march from Fort Snelhng to New Ulm will be in camp and the boom of cannon will be reverberating over the city. The United States troops are now but a few miles away and by this evening or tomorrow morning regular troops of Uncle Sam will be quartered in the city for the first time in many years. The glad hand of the city is to be extended. When the troops are with in hailing distance of the city the Sec ond Regiment band is to march out and meet them and escort them into New Ulm and through the streets to their camping grounds with martial CUTTING MAKES REPORT Brown County Schools Are in Prosper ous Condition.

It is a wonderful sight at this time of the \ear to come upon this lone tree white and .beautiful. The tree bears the "Dutchess" variety of apples and has already yielded one crop this year. It is of fair size and looks unusually strong and healthv. S. D. PETERSON Mr. Peterson has been a resident of Brown county since 1872. The best part of his life has been identified with the interests of the county. He is a candidate for re-election to the State legislature. He and Congress man McCleary are doing all they can to secure the passage of a bill pen sioning the Defenders of New Ulm. LOUIS G. VOGEL One of the Junior Pioneers, whose parents were among the very first people who came to this place. He has some pictures of himself but says that the people of the county are so well acquainted with him that they know what he looks like as soon as they hear his voice. He is a candidate for the office of county auditor and if he gets votes this year as he did at the election two years ago he will lead the ticket. Dr. Weaver's Treatment.

The coffin rested in the center of the room,%almost hid by the multitude of flowers and floral wreaths and while the Springfield band played, the throngs who wished to take one last look at the silent features passed in file. The services were simple, consisting of a short address and vocal selections by a male and ladies' quartet. Then the march to the cemetery was begun. The procession numbered 112 teams and those for whom there were no carriages formed in line of march. At the open grave the multitude gathered and the German Methodist minister, W. F. Fritze, addressed a a few remarks. While the band played and the mourners stood with uncover ed heads the body was lowered to its last repose. Among the citizens of Brown county who have lived a public life and spent many years closely identified with the growth of the community there are none who stand out more prominently that Mr. Schmid. He came to the county in 1868 and devoted his early years to music. In 1879 he located in Sleepy Eye and went into the hotel business, which he ran profitably until his election as sheriff in 1884. This office he held for three terms and could probably have retained it longer if he had not decided to go into business more extensively. Upon moving away from New Ulm in 1890 he chose Spring field as a home and there he has re sided since, and there his business interests have been largely built up. Mr. Schmid was a man of many enterprises and was interested in several undertakings in Springfield and outside. He was a director and was one time president of the Spring field bank and was largely interested in the elevator business in Springfield and in Canada. Death from Brights disease came to him suddenly Thursday after a sick ness lasting but three days. He leaves a wife and eleven children. Raise Involves $42,000. Forty-two thousand dollars, or ex actly 100 percent, was the modest raise the state board of equalization had in mind to make on the assessment of the Citizens Bank of New Ulm, but upon being shown the injustice of it changed their plan. The Bank was notified of the contemplated raise and at once prepared to resist. Attorney Einar Hoidale was given the defense and ap peared before the board the first of the week with such success that the as sessment was allowed to stand as originally made. EINAR HOIDALE Not exactly an old settler but give him time and he will be. He is a can didate for re-election to the office of county attorney, which position "he has filled so satisfactorily that he has no opposition. Nobody can say any thing against Mr Hoidale unless it is that he has lived a large part of his life without getting married, but he has half-way promised to remedy that defect if he is re-elected this fall. He ought to get every vote in the county. JOHN SCHNEIDER If honesty and a determination to do what is right entitles a man to con sideration, the'people of the county owe that to Mr. Schneider he is en titled to a re-election to the office of treasurer by a handsome vote. M-'Ms, ^TT- f54ER ts& RETURNS TO I E M. Wall Back After Twenty-Two Years Absence. To Spend Last Days in Old Home, His One Wish. Wall Is One of the Only Six Liv ing "First Settlers." After an absence of over twenty years from the city where he was one of the very first settlers, Meinrad Wall has at last returned to New Ulm to live his remaining years and die where he can be buried with his early com rades. Of that little band of pioneers who came here in 1854 but six remain and of these Wall is one. The figure of this old man, bent and slightly tottering and with shaggy hair and beard which despite his seventy seven winters is but slightl} touched with gray, is not a familiar one to the present generation in New Ulm and its vicinity, but from '54 to '82 he was one of the best known farmers in West Newton who do their trading in this city. But twenty-two years ago, after some domestic troubles, he turned his back on the community and sought out a new home in Oregon. He picked out a piece of land near the town of Silver ton and having no children, he settled down to a life of lonliness and hard work. Here be passed out of the lives and almost out of the minds of his for mer friends. So the years passed by and old age crept upon him. The climate did not agree with him so very well and he was stricken with asthma, which kept growing worse and worse. And then at the end of twenty-two years, know ing that his days were numbered and that the shadows were lengthening, he began to think longingly af the com munity where he had come in his young manhood as a pioneer, and resolved to sell his western property and return to spend his remaining days in New Ulm. His one wish was to die where nearly all the friends of his early years had died and be buried where they are buried. Mr. Wall arrived in the city a week ago Friday and took up his residence at the St. Alexander hospital the fol lowing Monday. He is not confined to his bed but wishes to stay at the hospital where he can have the best of care and medical treatment. That this pioneer of '54 should ar rive in New Ulm just in time to parti cipate in the semi-centennial celebra tion is not altogether an accident. He had kept track of the years well and knew that the half century mark in the history of the city was near, and a short time ago his old friend and com rade Peter Mack wrote him of the con templated celebration by the Turnver ein, and, as he was coming back any way, he decided to arrange his arrival so as to be present at the anniversary. WESLEY C. MILLER A change in the office of register of of deeds through an error of the new man cost a resident of this city $60. This is only one case, and as long as Mr. Miller has given such excellent service it should be to the interest of yoters to see that he is returned. There is no need of breaking in a new man at this time let that come when it is necessarv. W J. JULIUS. One of the Junior Pioneers and the most popular sheriff Brown county has ever had. He has the field to himself this year a compliment which he high ly appreciates. McCleary's Majority 3468. Congressman McCleary's majority in the recent primary election has been officially announced and gives the in cumbent a clean advantage over Mr. Miller of 3467 votes or a little less than sixty per cent. He carried every county in the district except Mr. Miller's home county, Rock. The official canvass is as follows: McCleary, Miller.
