4: [W n& 1- E •OSPITAL MEETING A SUCCESS Steps Taken at Meeting to Perfect aa Orgtaizatioo. Committee to Draft Constitution and Press Agent Elected. The meeting held Thursday evening at the Lutheran parochial school for the purpose of discussing matters pertaining to the new hospital to he erected in our city next year was well attended as far as the medical pater nity and citizens from here was con cerned. Owing to' the inclement weather, some of the ministers from neighboring points, who had promised to attend, were kept away. After the meeting was called to order, an organization was perfected by electing Prof. John Meyer of the college as chairman and Rev. J. Dneaterheft of Sanborn, as secretary. When called upon, Rev. C. J. Albrecbt stated that the meeting bad been called tor the purpose of organiz ing a hospital association upon which would devolve the erection of a modern, up-to-date hospital, of which the Lutherans would take the active management if asked to do so. He made it plain that the local Lutheran ehurch and the Lutheran Synod did not stand sponsor for this project, that the contemplated hospital would •ot be a Lutheran nor a Protestant hospital, hut a public institution to which any patient could gain admis sion and receive care and treatment. The physiciane who were, present gave it as their opinion that a modern hospital for New Ulm is public necessity and the support given it would be ample not only to justify its erection, but to make it self**ostafn» ing in a very short time. It was thought that a hospitals costing between $20,000 and 125,000 would be largo enough for present needs and that additions could be built as soon as the increasing business warranted it. Every one present seemed confi dent that this amount of money could be easily raised among our own oitizens and communities tributary to Uew Ulm. The neccessity of securing some one to solicit Subscriptions for the new hospital seemed apparent and Rev. C. J. Albrecht stated that pos sibly the services of E. J. Buehrer, formerly with the New Ulm Publish* lag Co., could be secured. At this writing no definite agreement, how ever, has been entered into. Prof. A. P. Reimwas elected as press agent and it will devolve upon him to give this project due publicity. It was decided not to call upon Catholic church members for aid as they have their own hospital to support, but any voluntary contributions will be gladly accepted. A committee was elected to draft a constitution which is to be presented at an adjourned meeting to be held at the Lutheran school house Tuesday evening, Nov. 28th. This committee consisting of Rev. F. Westerkamp, of Springfield, as chairman and Dr. L. A. Fritsche, Rev. C. J. Albrecht, Prof. J. Meyer and Conrad Dirks, all of New Ulm, will meet at the office of Dr. L. A. Fritsche Friday evening for the purpose of preparing suitable articles of incorporation. The adjourned meeting to be held Nov. 28th. will be an important one, because at that time the articles of incorporation will be adopted, carry ing with them the name of the new association, the purpose for which it is organized and the general plan of transacting its business. All those interested should be sure to at tend and assist in adopting a consti tution which will be satisfactory to all. Exchanges in the vicinity of New Ulm are requested to call attention to the date of the next meeting in the columns of their newspapers. Jul.

On Monday afternoon Frank Lang effected a settlement with County Attorney Aug. G. Erickson in the case which grew out of the automobile acci dent en the evening of May 5tb, when his automobile collided with the Or pheus band. Thecase was to have been tried at the Deoember term of district court at New Ulm, but he was permit ted to enter a plea of guilty to the oharge of assault in the third degree and a fine of 0100 was imposed. Advance readers will remember that the Orpheus band was marching out to the Riverside Dairy farm on the night of the accident, where they intended giving a benefit dance. When but a short distance from the' farm they were overtaken by the automobile and aside from damages to instru ments a number of the members were injured. After the accident Mr. Lang resorted to every effort to make amends satisfactory to the band boys by not only replacing a number of the instruments, but he also effected settlements for personal injuries. The settlement effected on Monday covers a criminal action instituted a couple of days after the accident. Ever since the accident Mr. Lang has demonstrated his keen regret over the unfortunate affair in the way of making reparation to those who re ceived injuries, and the instruments that were smashed were replaced with new ones. In his efforts to right matters in such a manly way Frank has gained the sympathy and good will of many of our citizens.—Spring field Advance.

That if the proposed improvement is made substantial docks and storage houees will be provided at all towns, and we believe that the river will be extensively used for transportation of the products named and that it will stimulate and augment to an enormous extent the output of the quarries, clay beds and othernatural resources along the Minnesota river.
