Raising
Sugar Beets.
Valuable Information to Farmers.
Many farmers have raised sugar beets
for the beet sugar factory at St. Louis
Park and nearly ail of them wish they
liad planted double the area of land in
^aufar beets. They were successful,raised
a goodly crop and received good prices
I for their beets. Beet sugar factories will
be established in Michigan, South Dako
ta and in Wisconsin. In Michigan alone
eight factories are to be established. The
price paid for sugar beets at the St.
Louis Park factory was |4.00 per ton for
beets containing 12 to 14 per cent, sugar
and 25 cents moie for every per cent, of
So. sugar contained in the beets until 18 per
cent, were reached. This means $5.00
per ton. Why should farmers not plant
5 to 10 acres in beets as a trial. If sue*
cessful they will certainly cultivate more,
like in Belle Plaine, where the farmers
cultivated 1000 acres in sugar beets, real
izing from $40 to $74 per acre. The
Minneapolis Times contains a description
of the sugar beet industry and this is the
result:
"VVm. Huhs, Waconia, 10 acres, gross
$512.64, not $404.81.
Aarens Brothers, of Jordan, 9 acres,
gross $590.00, net 462.90.
Carl Bergstrom, of Carvei, 3 acres,
grost $332.73, net $288.96.
J. H. F. Buckentin, Hamburg, 1 acre,
gross $91.39, net $74.34.
A. N. Moran, Eden Prairie, 1^ acres,
gross $197.10, net $164.38.
Frank Schiebe, Golden Yalley, 5 acres,
gross $215.05, Det $197.55.
James Kucera, of Washburn, 1 acre,
gross $51.57, net $48.57.
A Anton Reiman, Rowland P. 0.,^ acre,
l^gro?ft.$§@-o'3, net $29.03.
William Fahlle, acre, net $30.37.
This shows, that it would be worth
while trying it. This industry is bound
to assume large proportions. ?or partic
ulars address Mr. Otto Meytr, New Ulm,
Minn.
Seed Free of Charge.
A further inducement for the farmers
to try is the notice received by County

understood.
«&
Auditor Vogel from State Treasurer
Koerner that 500 pounds ot sugar beet
seed has been apportioned to Brown
county for free distribution to the farm
ers wishing to plant some acres in sugar
beets. Application should be made to
the county auditor at once, so that he
may make the proper requisition for the
amount needed to the shite treasurer.
Otherwise the Minnesota Sugar Co. of
St. Louis Park will furnish on applica
tion all the seed- requiied to any farmer
at the rate of 15 cents per pound. This
seed is guaranteed and is payable at the
time of the delivery of the sajjar beets as
per contract.
The n. & St. Extension.
Chief Surveyor Lynch cf the M. & St.
L. railroad was in town Saturday and
stated that the three surveys for the con
templated railroad extension had been
completed. What route had been or
will be chosen he was not able to state,
but at any rate it will be the one to the
Little Cottonwood. The contemplated
iron bridge will be 75 feet high and 230
feet long, having one span only. Steel
viaducts will serve as approaches making
the total length of the bridge one quar
ter of a mile. The foundations of the
bridge and viaducts will be of solid
stone masonry.
At present Mr. Lynch has a force of
men digging pits to test or ascertain the
character of the foundation needed for
the biidge and the approaches.
Making: Rapid Progress.
The board of directors of the Luther
an congregation met Sunday afternoou,
Rev. Albrecht presiding. The various
committees reported good progress in
regard to collections taken up for tiie
re-construction and enlargement of the
church edifice. The sum required is
$6,000 and of this amount $4,700 have
been subsenb.d. From the second ward
alone $1,266 was contributed, while the
church members from Lafayette, Bright
on and Courtland donated in the neigh
borhood of $1,000. Work of re-construc
tion will be begun as soou as practica
ble, as the growth of the congregation
makes this imperative.

Lessons in Economy.
This store is filled with them. A dollar is worth just one hundred cents
To spend that dollar in cheap, trashy imitations of good, dependable merch
Ǥ& andise and by thus doing save a few cents is not true economy. If you pay
JjJK a poor price for a poor article, you dupe yourself. The good article would
probably have cost you but little more and given you double the service.
J: The point we make is this: Every dollar's worth of this new spring merch
& andise is good the kind you want to buy and at the price you want to pay. ^*f
"~*&*v> If quality, if style, if all-around worthiness, have any influence with you in tf»
e&j your buyijg, then this store stands to be more useful to you this season j)|*.
than ever before. Strong talk this, but It's plain, it's hoaest and easily
SHIRT WAISTS.
£$ The wonder grows each season, how such bright, crisp, well made gar
IT ments can be turned out for so little money. First rate materials, collars
'*&* and cuffs laundered, perfect in fit. You would not sit down and make one j[*
for double the price of any of these at 25 cts. up to $2.50. Also satin and *i*
silks at low prices from $3.50 to $6.50. *t*
FANCY PETTICOATS.
Fashion stamps them popular. The stjle range and the price range of
these bright spring beauties are all that heart could desire. Prices very
4 modest. A fine fancy stripe Taffeta at the low price of $1.00. Silk in all
«fc shades at 5. 6, and $7.
WINDOW SHADES.
i' Two lots to emphasize, and the reason why we emphasize them is they
f1 are very cheap, but it's a price cheapness only. A fine spring roller shade at
4 20c up to 50c, in all colors.
4* CARPET CUTTING.
J*,. A prime stock to pick from. House cleaning time about due and
everybody who has a carpet buying idea should by all means see this stock.
Ingrain at §0c up to 90c. Brussel, a fine pattern at 90c—it is a world beater
e§ —Exminster and Velvet, all colors. Borders to match.
THE SPRING SUITS.
Our garment section gives an object lesson in true economy in the g.
shape of nobby tailor-made suits many to choose from and no dress making
bother awaiting you. Choose from these soon or they'll he gone. We still *S
have a few suits lelt at $3.50. Have to pay more for making alone, with
out extra cost of material. a§

Letter From Manila.
Mr. Ed. Hoadley is in receipt of the
following letter from his brother Will,
now with the 13th Minnesota at the bat
tle fields in the Philippines, which will be
of interest to many New Ulmites.
Manila, Philippine Is., Feb. 14, '99.
Dear Folks at Home:—
Just wrote to Grayce
a few days ago, but as this is St. Valen
tines day, I thought that a letter would
be the best valentine I would be able to
send, so here it is. Suppose you are just
reading the news of the war in tuis coun
try, of course you are all anxious to hear
from us, but before this reaches you, you
will know that we, rather the 13th are
here in town and doing just about the
same as they always did. Everything is
so quiet here now that it is hard for us
to realize that we are having trouble
with the natives. The Insurgents don't
understand modern warfare and we are
killing them on all sides. I believe the
last report has it about eight thousand
Insurgents killed to fifty eight or sixty
Americans, so you cau see that tney don't
know much about it. They don't know
anything about volley tiring nor making
a charge. When our forces make a
charge they all begin to yell at the top
of theii voices and that with the firing
makes it sound as if all creation had
turned loose, and we do such deadly
work in a charge that the natives have
got so when they hear our forces begin
to yell they turn and run to look for
some place of safety. They say the
Americans don't fight fair, as they have
been used to fighting the Spaniards.
They would fire a few shots and then get
down behind their ueuches and smoke
cigarettes for a while, then i.fter they
thought they had rested enough they
would fire a few more shots. The Amer
icans keep them on the run so they don't
get a chance to smoke, hence we don't
fight fair. I am still confined to quar
ters and will be until next Saturday, but
I am glad I ran away and went to the
front, for I would willingly stand a court
martial for the experience I had on the
firing-line and think I am getting off
easy as it is.
Phil. Burgers was over for awhile last
night, he goes out to the lines nearly ev
ery day as he is connected with the hos
pital corps in some way, just while the
war is going on. There are a great many
more wounded Philippinoes in our hos
pitals than Americans.
Ross Keeling was- over in the after
noon,he had just come from the lines and
will be in town until tomorrow night.
When I made him a present of his bayo
net he was greatly surprised and I could
hardly make him believe that I bad found
it on the battle field. He says he will
tell his grand children about it when he
is telling them some of his war stories.
The people Lere think we will get home
just about as soon now as we would if
this trouble hadn't come up and I can't
see why we wont, as it isn't going to
amount to very much. I think I can see
the end of it all now. If lever get home
alive and I haven't any intentions of get
ling home any other way, I wouldn't
take five hundred dollars tor my exper
ience and I wouldn't go through it again
for five thousand dollars although we
haven't had any very hard hard-ships to
go through.
Jim, the monkey, has got his discharge
and started for America about two weeks
ago. The regiment expect to pick him
up at Frisco so you may get a chance to
see him yet. I think it will be fine if
the regiment can be quartered in the ex
position building as that will be much
better than going into camp, for there
wouldn't be near so much guard duty.
Well will have to close for this timp
will write again in a few days. Now
don't worry about me for I am still feel
ing good as ever.

A PIONEER DEAD.
Unexpectedly and very suddenly Wolf
gang Preisinger was called to his eternal
home early last Thursday, the cause of
death supposed to be apoplexy. The fu
neral took place Saturday morning from
the Catholic church in the Catholic cem
etery and was largely attended. The
comrades of Hecker Post 48 G. A, R. of
which deceased was a member, attended
in a body.
Mr. Preisinger attained an age of sev
enty years and was in good health until
the last summons came Wednesday night
shortly after midnight. He was in con
versation with a' neighbor until a few
hours before death and then in appar
ently good health and spirits. Up to a
year ago Mr. Preisinger was a resident
of Lafayette township, and removed to
New Ulm to spend the last days of his
life. He had served during the civil war
as a volunteer in a Wisconsin regiment
and went through all the hardships of
campaign life, seeing battle at numerous
occasions. He was a worthy gentleman
and his demise will be mourned by all
who knew him. May he rest in peace.
PETER J. SCHM1TZ DEAD.
One of New Ulm's old citizens Peter
Jos. Schmitz, died Wednesday night at
the residence of his grand-daughter, Mrs.
John Gareis, at the age of seventy-five
years and was buried in the city ceme
tery Saturday afternoon.
Born in Prussia, Schmitz came to this
country when quite young, first locating
in Chicago where he followed engineer
ing. In 1856 he came to New Ulm
where he resided at the time '.is death.
In 1864 he married Mrs. Htii.ii-tte Bug
gert, the latter's husband being killed
during the Indian uprising. He con
ducted a farm in Milford and returned
to New Ulm in 1872 where he
different occupations. Aiter
stay in St. Peter Mr. Schmitz
to New Ulm and became janitor of the
court house. This position he held un
til February 1st of this year being at
that date substituted by Gust. Koehler.
It seems that after this time Mr. Schmitz
was disheartened, and he began to fail
rapidly. Being of the opinion that he
was amply able to fulfill the duties of
janitor, he thought it an injustice to be
removed for political reasons only, as he
claimed to be, and this grief hastened
his death. He was well liked and high
ly esteemed in this community and his
funeral was largelv attended.

"ME AN"LIZA JANE."
It's fifty year an' more ago since me en'
'Liza Jane.
A-walkm' home from meetin', through a
sweet an' shady lane,
Agreed it was the best fer us to join our
hands fer life:
An' hain't I allers blessed the day she
said she'd be my wife!
We've bad our little fallin's out, the
same as all the rest,
But all the while I've knowed 'at she's
the kindest an' the best.
The truest an' forgivenest, fer I begin to
see
She's had to be an angel fer to git along
with me.
Fer since I'm geitin' on in years I sort o*
set around.
An' kind o' specellate about the things
'at's more profound
An' as my mind goes straym' back along
the path o' life,
I jest begin to see how much I owe that
good old wife.
You wouldn't thins her handsome, 'cause
your eyes '11 never see
The many lovin' deed she's done to make
her dear to me.
My God! the things 'at she's gone thro'
fer love of me an' mine,
Is 'nuff to make a feller think her beauty
most divine!
I 'spose I done the best I could to make
her burdens light,
Tit, lookin' back, I seem to see so much
'at wasn't right—
So much 'at brought her sorrow—yit,
tbreugh all the changin' years,
I've seen her keep her faith in me, a
smiliu' through, her tears.
An' now we're old together, bat to me
she's young and fair
As when the rose was in her cheek, the
sunshine in her hair
An' while I hold her hand in mine an'
journey down the hill,
ril make life's sunset good an' sweet—
God helpin' me, I will!
