Of
In the largest business deals which
have occurred at one time in New Uhn
in years, A. Schulke and Sons, dry
goods and ready-to-wear merchants,
have leased part of the Crone Bros,
company department store block at
110,112 and 114 North Minnesota
street, and the Fred Meine Clothing
company has rented the Ottomeyer
building at Minnesota and Center
streets which is now occupied by
Schulke's.
In his new location, Mr. Schulke an
nounces that he will conduct one of
the most complete and up-to-date
department stores in Southern Minne
sota. Not only win he continue the
dry goods, ready-t )-wear and grocery
departments of Crone Bros, but he
will add new lines. The new business
will be known as Schulke's department
store with A. Schulke & Sons, pro
prietars.
To Continue Men's Store.
The Cvone Bros, company will cph
tinm their men and boy's clothing
and furnishing department. It will
be under the management of Carl F.
Crone who has been general manager
of the Crone Bros, company. Mr.
Carl F. Crone will become th? owner
of this store.
A..Schulke and Sons plan to move
into the Cron 2 building about February
15. The building will be entirely re
modeled for them. A new modern
front will be installed, the basement
remodeled for a sales room, atfds a
balcony constructed across the rear.
The front will be placed back 18 feet
with spacious windows on each sid*
There will be two entrances with a dis
play window placed betweem them.
The gradual approach to the entrances
will do away with the present steps in
the building. New fixtures wiU be in
stalled and the building redecorated.
Near the front entrance a stairway will
lead to the, basement saleroom.

St. Paul. Mr. and Mrs. Herbert
Schulke wili move to New Ulm after
the first of the year and will make
their future home here. Mr. Schulke
and his sons have taken a long lease on
the Crone bvilding.

company was founded in 1857 by

lished in a small building which was

present store. During the sixties a
building 45 by 110 feet and three
stories high was erected. The store
added an addition in 1873. Another
addition was erected in 1907 making
the building 80 feet by liO feet.

firm in 1891* The company incor

MAIL
RUSH IS NOW ON
a Asks Parcel
a Earl A Tie l'
Securely
With the beginning of the annual
Christmas rush at the, New Ulm post
office, Postmaster Fred Pfaender last
night issued a statement in which he
urged that all parcels be mailed early,
wrapped securely and addressed plain
ly." These three suggestions com
prised the cardinal points of Christ
mas mailing, Mr. Pfaender declared.
"Packages should now be in the
postoffice for far Eastern, Western
and Southern points," Mr. Pfaender
said. "By mailing packages early they
will be certain to reach their destina
tions before Christmas. On each
paqkage may be written 'Do not open
until Christmas.'
Instructions Are Given.
"Be sure to have a return address
on the upper left hand corner of the
parcel. Place postage in the upper
right hand corner. Do not stick
Christmas seals on the. address side
of letters or packages. Street num
bers must be on all parcels to larger
cities or they will be indefinitely de
layed. Insure all parcels against loses
or damage. Writing on cards and cir
culars makes them first class and sub
ject to two cents postage. Postal regu
lations permit a card to be enclosed
in a package with the words: "Meny
Christmas" and the name of the sen
der." ,, -v,- :&% .'v 0
To Employ Extra Help/%|1
Mr. Pfaender declared that extra
help would be placed at work in the
pcstoffice beginning Staurday and every
effort made.to clean up each day's
mail so that no congestion would re
sult.
On Christmas day the windows of
the postoffice will be open from 8 to
9 a. m. with pne delivery of rural arid
city mail. The office will be closed
on Sunday, December. %i, as usual,
Re^lajMn^ to^
seals on the address side of* European
parcels are very strict, Mr. Pfaender
said and parcels which do not con
form to regulations will be held
in New York. Persons will therefore
save delay by strictly adhering to the
requirements.

ag9, Henry Thompson returned to
Madelia last'week to learn that she
had been dead for over a year. The
runaway hushand, according to the
Madelia Rural News, claims that he
has Tieen ins' Colorado during the
period of his absence and that he had
no, knowledge of las wife's death until
told of it by/local acquaintances upon
his arrival in the home town.
Thompson married Ellen^ tihe daugh
ter of .Mf. and Mrs. C. A: Thompson
about two years'a£ 3, the couple living
in'Wyidom 'for a short time. The
young man did not have steady em
ployment while in Windom and the] day
couple lived in a furnished rocm.( The'injured are:
Fipaily the husband secured steady,
work on a farm near Windom #nd
planned to take his wife there with
him. She made a trip to Madelia for
visit with her parents before going
out to liye on the farm but when she
reached Windom on her return she
was unable to find the husband/.^ 41
Foul Pla'yed Feared.
Aided by her father, she conducted a
search for the missing man, advertis
ing far and wide but to no purpose.
A strong suspicion was entertained
that the yourig* man had met foul play,
and as a result of the episode the
young wife suffered keenly, her health
both physical and mental, failing.
Following the birth of her child a year
ago, she died suddenly of ptomaine"
poisoning. The child has been taken
care of by the grand-parents.
Return Was Surprise.
The return of the missing man was
a surprise, as nothing bad been heard
from him since he disappeared. 'Asked
why he made his sudden disappearance
Thompson ^was. extjrpmjgiy., jipri-eom
municative, it is said, but hinted to
acquaintances that his wife seemed
homesick and that she, had expressed
a feeling that she regretted her mar
riage! His' talk sounded rather fishy
,to those who heard him. It .is not
khowjfi'what he contemplates, nor wftat
his pltfns are. Neither is it known
whether^ the parents of the girl will
take jany legal action against him for
wife desertion.
