ii ^f, JrJ i I NEW UtM AND VICINITY. In tbe October apportionment of the State school funds, Brown county receives $3,478,92 Nicollet county, $8- 100,50, and Redwood county, $1,753,24. The city council of St. Peter has pass ed an ordinance forbidding druggists to sell wine or liquors unless upon a physicians prescription. The result is not very satisfactory. Mr. Wenzel Grundler, an old cobbler residiuff in the south part of the city, died very suddenly last Friday evening while out in his dooryard feeding his chickens. Funeral occurred Sunday. A party of six hunters from this city last Thursday went out to Linden after some wild geese. They returned goose less, but report having had a sheol of a time. 'Tis well, but it might have been better. The dark, smoky condition of the at mosphere last Friday was undoubtedly due to the prevailing prairie fires in Dakota. The smoke was so thick that at times the bluffs across the river could not be seen. Herman Fritzke, residing on Aug. Hellman's farm near the cemetery, was last Saturday kicked in the face by a colt and quite severely injured. He had his lips badly cut and several teeth knocked out. A young lady of Madelia took a dose of strychnine in mistake for quinine, and to avoid the bitter taste of the lat ter encased the poison in tissue paper, and this precaution with the services of a physician saved her life. The State Register at Mankato is publishing extracts from a diary kept by a prisoner in Andersonville. It makes one shudder to read it, even at this late day, but the story of misery and starvation is only too true. J. J. Meighen informs the Le Sueur Sentinel that he will not accept the ap pointment of mail route agent, as him self and wife have good positions as school teachersa profession they have attained a high standing inin Milford, Brown county. Herman Groti has sold his famous Tivoli, on Bridge square, St. Paul, to Max Roemer of Milwaukee. The re port that Mr. Groti has been in negoti ation with New Ulm parties to open the Metropolitan hotel seems to have been without foundation. The Mankato Review says rumor has it that a surveying corps are looking over the road between Janesville and New Uim to determine the merits of the proposed cut-off and if favorable something may be done at an early day in the way of building it. The St. Peter Herald says there is nothing strange in the appointment of J. J. Meighen, a Butler man, to a mail route agency, in view of the fact that very many of those who have been ap pointed to office in this State were Blaine supporters last fall. August Wiiken, a young man while out in the field plowing for Peter Somers, in the town of Lake Prairie, Nicollet county, committed suicide last Thursday by first shooting himself in the head with a revolver and then hanging himself to a tree with a halter strap. "Veterle" the king of tramps, made New Ulm a periodical visit Saturday. He excused his tardiness in getting round by the very plausible story that his thousand mile ticket gave out and that he was detained three weeks in the Minneapolis cooler before lie could get his ticket renewed. Chas. C. Schubert is now located at Uniontown, Wash. T. Under date of Sept. 25th he writes: "The completion of the railroad to Moscow, Idaho T., is to-day celebrated by a grand jubilee. The emigrant can now get into the heart of the best agricultural section in Washington and Idaho." The Lamberton Commercial says that Mat Eicher, of Willow Lake, met with quite a serious accident on Monday last threshing flax, a splinter of the flax straw flew from the machine and penetrated his eye to a depth of three fourths of an inch, there is a strong probability that he will lose the use of his eye. Another accident occurred on Tues day of last week on the D. C.road. The Tracy Republican gives the following particulars: Two wilds were coming east, the one in the lead stopped to pack a hot and the one in the rear ran into her. An engine and seven cars were ditched. The event tooK place one mile west of Balaton. Peck's Sun, published at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is the most humerous paper in America to-day. Geo. W. Peck, its editor and proprietor, stands without an equal as a humorist. He believes in making people happy, and no one can be otherwise who reads his most excellent paper. Our readers are in vited to read the prospectus of Peck's Sun, in another column. Sample copy mailed free to any address. ft Grand ball in skating rink, Saturday, October 17th. Grand skating tournament at the rink next Saturday evening. The Silver Cornet Band will be in attendance. C^f Mr. B. Gruenenfelder announces that he has opened anew blacksmith shop. See his card in another column. The first snow of the season came last Sunday. It didn't snow very much, but it snowed enough to say "it snow- ed." The District Court for Brown county convenes in this city next Monday. The session will be longer than usual and quite interesting. The cash value of the medals and other prizes won by company boys, at the recent shoot at Fort Snellins, is $348. work. Certainly not a bad week's J. L. Thompson was on Tuesday of last week appointed postmaster at Red wood Falls. Ruter has got a better thing in St. Paul, hence his declination and the appointment of Thompson. Another childthe fourthof Mr. Fr. Rosenau of Milford died from diph theria last Monday morning. His only remaining child, aged 10 years, has also been down with the disease, but at this writing the prospects for its recovery are good. The postoffice department has direct ed the discharge of the subcontractor on the New Ulm, Lone Tree Lake and Fort Ridgely mail route, and the em ployment of a man who will at least make an effort to supply the offices regularly. The opening of a street car line in Pierre was a notable event last week. The band was on duty and a public meeting held with speeches and resolu tions. It was claimed to be the only street car line in Dakota in operation, the one in Fargo being dormant The first ride was sold to Mr. JGlechler for $60, and the first car ul netted $1T)5. At 2 30 a. m. Friday the Sherman house at Tracy was discovered to be in flames. The alarm was promptly giv en, but nothing could be done to stay the flames, and the building, with much of its contents, was quickly con sumed. At 3 o'clock on the same morning, the Sherman house at Fargo, one of the finest hostelries in that city, was also destroyed by fire, with nearly all the personal effects of the guests and the hotel furniture. It was a bad night for Sherman houses. A protective union has been organiz ed in St. Peter, which aims at, 1. To increase trade in St. Peter. 2. To encourage borne manufacture. 3. To enhance the value of real estate. 4. To entice manufacturers to set up and op erate their machinery in St. Peter. 5. To prevent any clique from ruling the city, and by such ruling ruin the city's trade 6. To effectually stay th effort of a faction to deny apart of the busijess men of their personal libei ty 7. To prevent any clique from interfering with the private affairs of other men. 8. To place every man and nil business on a level with all other men and their bnslLess. The union is officered as follows: Jos. Mason, president Bill Clark, vice president T. M. Perry, sr., secretary Jos. Engesser, treasurer. Der R'uib der Sabinerinnen, the four act German comedv produced at Tur ner Hall last Sunday evening, drew a large house. Every seat was occupied and standing room was at a premium. The play was rendered remarkably well, and the numerous humorous changes kept the audience in a contin ual roar of laughter. Boquets flew around quite thick, even our friend Pe terman being one of the honored. The play went off to^ such entire satisfac tion that even Mr. Adolph Seiter cou. siders himself well repaid for his troub le. The postmaster general has issued a circular advising postmasters to im press upon the senders of letters bear ing the special delivery stamp the ne cessity of an accurate address, giving the names of streets and numbers of houses wherever practicable,or failing in that respect, an indication of the busi ness of the person addressed. This last precaution is deemed necessary in small towns where no system of num bering houses prevails, and where there may be two or more individuals bear ing similar names. The public wil also be reminded of the advantage to be derived from writing or having printed upon the envelope requests for the'return of non-delivered matter. At company A's practice shoot last Sunday morning the following scores were made by those qualifying in theday's second class: Names. Col. Bobleter Capt^Rosskopf Corpl.

James Delany was last Thursday ap pointed postmaster at St. Peter, vice J. K. Moore, resigned. The appointment of Delany gives satisfaction to all par ties. Jimmy is a good fellow, even if he is a Democrat. According to the census returns Brown county has 3,315 legal voters, 5,621 children between the ages of five and twenty-one vears,8 deaf and dumb, 1 blind, 13 idiots and 165 soldiers who served in the Union army during the rebellion.

Pfefferle, one of our local dealers, saw the Eagle Lake man andmonal went him a quarter better, in conse quence of which apples were in good demand for a while. Lake Benton News:We still hold the postoffice,Cass* commission not ha\ ing arrived. Can it be that the de partment has found out what a damn able appointment has been made and revoked the same? We owe nothing to this Democratic administration, we ask no favors from it, but by the powers, if the outside world don't know what a character has been appointed as ourthe successor it will be because our pen fails us. Fr. Aleyerding. residing in the brick house opposite the German M. E. church in this city, met with a very sad accident last Saturday evening. He was returning from Sleepy Eye with a load of Rev. Mr. Preine's furniture, and while descending the short but steep hill near John Krueger's place, four miles from New Ulm,tbe neckyoke became loose and the heavily loaded wagon ran on to the horses, who as a matter of course became unruly and ran, upsetting the wagon and throwing Mr. Meyerding violently to the ground and dragging him a short distance. He was picked up unconscious and brought to New Ulm for surgical aid where it was found that, besides other bruises, the left hip-bone was fractured and that he had perhaps also sustained se vere internal injuries. Dr. Muller has the unfortunate min in charge and at this writing he reports him as comfort able as could be expected under the circumstances. Rev. Mr. Preine's fur niture was badly broken by the acci dent. The horses were uninjured. The scholars of the public schools of this city enjoyed a basket picnic on St. Jacob's Heights last Friday. At 9 o'derstand clock the scholars assembled at themercantile central school house, and after the teachers had mustered their respective classes the route of march was taken up down Centre street to Minnesota, up Minnesota to Fourth North and thence to the picnic ground's. The 6 procession was preceded by a juvenile measure their years in this drum corps and as it moved up Minne sota street, with banners and flags fly ing, made quite a formidable and im pressive appearance. Nearly 500 schol ars were in line, each class being in charg~ of it respectivc teacher.. At1 games were indulged in and the schol ars enjoyed themselves as only children know how. During the afternoon sev eral members of the board of education and others visited with the scholars. The return march was taken up about 4 o'clock p. m., and the scholars re v~ ,,s, ivopvu.i^ud .0.

The nuptial ceremonies concluded, the happy couples and assembled friends took carriages and drove to Turner Hall, where a large and brilli ant company awaited their coming. In the hall the newly married couples held a reception and received the congratu lations of their many friends, after which the party sat down to an elegant and elaborate supper. The Silver Cornet Band was in at tendance and discoursed sweet music to cheer and enliven the occasion, and after supper the young people indulged in dancing. The presents were very numerous and elaborate, and the young peo ple can start on their journey of matri bliss with the kno*vledge that they have ths well-wishes of a host of friends.
