Obituary. Edward Hopp, Br., a respected plo nler died at bis home in Nicollet town* Friday morning, Feb. 23, at 3 His death was due to heart trouble from which he had been a for the past two years. The deceased was born in Dolgen, Pom* mem, Germany, February 8th, 1845. He came to America in the spring of 18G2, coming direct to Nicollet county where he has resided ever since. In June, 1871, at old Nicollet, he was united in marriage to Sophia Annim, who with the following children mourn his loss: Herman, Fred, Edward, Otto, Emil, Julius, Arthur, Louis, Mrs. John Stolt, all from Nicollet, Mrs. Emil Magers of St. Paul and Albert Struck from near St. Peter. The funeral was held Monday fore noon at 11 o'clock from the home, with services at the Lutheran church at old Nicollet, Rev. F. Koehler officiating. Mrs. Anna Brandl, for nearly 47 years a resident of the Town of West Newton, died at the home of her son John Brandl last Wednesday at tbe age of 87 years. Death was due to old age and an attack of pneumonia and she was sick but a few days. The deceased was born in Bavaria, Ger many April 17, 1825 and came to this country in the year 1855 settling in New York, where she resided until the year 1865 when she came west and settled in West Newton living tnere ever since. She was married to Jos. Brandl in the old country in the 1846 and lived happily with him until his death which occurred 12 years ago. She is survived by three sons, Wm. of New Ulm and John and Joseph of ^est Newton. She is also survived by a brother, Geo. Inhofer of New Ulm, and the following sisters: Mrs. Barbara Marti and Mrs. Mike Huber of St. George Mrs. Geo. Bastian of Ridgely Mrs Frances Eckert of Gib bon and a sister in Bavaria. Funeral services were held Saturday morning at the Catholic Church of St. George and interment was made in the church cemetery. Rev. Pozek conducted the funeral services. With the words "My hat is in the ring" Teddy Roosevelt practically announced his candidacy for the Presidency of the United States, ard the letter to the Governors made public Monday confirmed the rumor that was precipated by this rough rider style announcement. Mr. Roosevelt is without question the best politician this country has ever produced. The words above quoted, to our mind, sound undignified, to come from one aspiring to tbe highest office in the gift of the people, but they appeal to the fighting instinct of the average citizen and the "Tremendous Roarer*' will immediately, in tbe minds of many, be transformed into a hero,|one who must be supported at all hazards.* We are glad to note that the announcement of bis candidacy has not met with that spontaneous outburst of enthusiasm that be him self and his admirers figured on. It is well that the American public should show some hesitancy in throw ing past traditions to the wind. By advocating the re-election of Roose velt for a third term we would admit that we are unable to fight and win our own battles and that we are ripe for a "Dictator" to order us around and tell us what to do. Minnesota Day (Continued from Last Week) There are fifteen names from tbe Dakota or Sioux languages, eight of which are in tbeir original form, or have been translated into English and one into French. The Ojibway lan guage has given names to twelve coun ties, Six of these are nearly in the original translation and four have been Anglicized. The white settlers, noting the nat ural features of the country, have given six of the names which have since been applied to counties Fifty two counties bear personal names and commemorate various groups of men. Many of the men after whom they were named have been for gotten, but the entire group could tell a very complete and interesting story of Minnesota life. Seven early ex plorers of this area, four fur traders of the early half of the last century, twenty-seven citizens of Minnesota as a territory or state and fourteen citi zens of other parts of the United States complete tbe list. The Indian words are particularly interesting. From the Sioux language there is Anoka, which means "on both sides", and wa9 applied by the foun ders to the city laid out on both sides of the Rum river. Dakota signifies an alliance or league and the Dokotas called them selves collectively by that name al though they were known more fre quently as the Sioux. The former name, now obsolete, of a large divi sion of the Dakotas or Sioux is Isanti. The tribe lived 200 years ago in the Mrs.ted region of the Rum river and Mille Lacs. These were called by Father Hennepin the river and the lake of the Isantis, which means the "Knife In dians", because these were the earliest French traders in the winter of 1659-60. La Crosse Imperial Horse Lift Kandiyohi was the Dakota name for a lake, Kandi, meaning buffalo fish and ohi, to arrive in. The reason for the name has been found in the fact that there are two species of buffalo fish which at spawning season leave the upper Mississippi River in which they live during the greater part of the year and come sometimes in im mense numbers to lakes at the head of small streams. Wabasha is a corporation of Wa pashaw, which was the name in three generations of the hereditary chiefs having the most influence among the Mississippi River bands of Dakotas. The word signifies "red leaf". Thence red hat or cap and red battle stan dard. It was applied to thefirstchief of this name because he received from the Eaglish governor in Quebec pre sents of a soldier's uniform with its red cap and English flag.

F. H. RETZLAFF Did it ever occur to you? "I paid that bill once." "You must be mistaken." "Indeed, I am not mistaken,"' "Have you a receipt?" "It seems to me I have, but I don't remember what I did with it "We have no record of payment, and unless you can produce our acknowledgement in the way of a receipt, we must insist that you pay the account." But it might have been a different story had the bill been paid with a bank check. No chance for argument or dispute when the canceled check is produced. Better pay your bills but once-with a check on this bank. STATE BANK OF NEW ULM I wmmmmJL G. A.

Please Gall and Examine our Goods Rich, especially in provisions is the English translation of Waseca, and was first applied to the earliest farm ing settlement in 18o5 near the present city of that name because of the ferti lity of the region. Watonwan County was named after the river by that name, which means in the English ianguage fish bait or where fish bait abounds. A Dakota woman, cousin of the last chief named Wapashaw, was Winona. Both of them were prominent in the events attending the removal in 1848 of the Winnebago Indians from Iowa and the Wabashaw prairie, the site of the present city of Winona. The name Winona is applied to the first born in any Indian family if it is a girl. It is the diminutive of wino, woman. The six counties which bear English trauslations of the Indian names of rivers and lakes are Big Stone, from Big Stone lake, alluding to the con spicuous outcrops of granite and gneiss in the valley below the foot of the lake, Cottonwood, from the Cotton wood river. Blue Earth, from the river so named because of the bluish green earth used by the Sisseton Indiana as (Continued on Sixth Page)
