Hquariums.
The lnteict in kefpmg Gold Fish is
constantly increasing, owing, we think,
to the fact that breeders have learned to
propoxate them successfully and now
Gold Fish are kept in many homes in all
parts of the country. A well arranged
Aquarium adds an elegance to any place
and is one of the most desir ible orna
ments for the parlot.
Where shall we keep the Aquariums?
A.uywhere so the air is pure aud not too
much suu. The temperature of the wa
ter should he about 60°. Fish can stand
freezing point without injury. Use well
water, springwater or riverwater and
change every 5 or 6 days. Feed Gold
Fish prepared fish food or white wafers,
but up in small boxes at 10 cents per
box with directions on the cutside and
do not feed them anything else Two
Gold Fish and Aquariams cost $1 and
there is nothing that will give as much
pleasure in your home.
Mow can we get one of these Aquar
iums with 2 Gold Fish. We have ar
ranged to give you one, absolutely free.
If you call at our store and get 1 pound
of Imperial Baking Powder at 50 cents
we will give you two Gold Fish and an
Aquarium. No charge for the two fish
and Aquarium. If you do not want the
Baking Powder yon can buy two Gold
Fish and an Aquarium for 1. We are
giving these away to have you try our
Baking Powder, no other object. Will
tie pleased to have you call and see them
whether you purchase or not.

-, It Is as Unreasonable
to say that South Dakota is swept
each year by hot winds, because a small
strip of that state along the Missouri
liver is visited by hot winds once in
two or three years, as it would be to say
that all of Minnesota is "stump" and
"swamp" land because a large tract in
the northern part of the state is such.
You know there are, and always have
been, people addicted to the habit of ex
aggeration. Don't believe all you hear.
Don't believe that South Dakota 'land is
"poor stuff" because someone who has
nothing to do but talk tells you so.

May Spring a Surprise.
It is a matter of quite common talk
since the convening of the district court
that the defendants in two or three im
portant criminal cases will surprise the
prosecution by an attack on the charac
ter of one of the principal witnesses for
the state, on whose testimony a good
deal is supposed to depend. The witness
in question is cousidered one of the most
important in the trial of the Tanke case,
and is also depended on very largely for
a conviction in the cases against Loeffel
macher and Quinn, accused of poisoning
cattle.
It would perhaps be held improper
for a newspaper to go into details a
matter that is peudiug in the court, par
ticularly when it is not definitely known
that an attempt will be made to impeach
the evidence of a witness, but the matter
has been the subject of enough gossip to
warrant its*publication thus far.
Shenff McMillan and County Attorney
Davis have done a great deal of hard
work on these cases, and while they nat
urally do not discuss the tumors that are
in the air they are doubtless aware of
them, aud will not be taken by surprise.
Indeed it is said by those who assume to
know that they will spring a counter
surprise on the attorneys for the defence,
and put in evidence whose existence is
not suspected by them.—St. Peter Jour

VOLUME XXIII. E ULM, E O N COUNTY, MINK., WEDNESDAY, DEC. 3. 19GU NO. 49
ACTION 18, TAKEN.
Commercial Union Holds Special Meeting:
to Formulate Plans in Regard to
Securing School for Girls.
PRES. KLOSSNER APPOINTS COMMITTE.
Sentiment is Unanimously in Favor of Do
ing Something Towards Securing
this State Institution.
On Friday night, pursuant to a call
issued by the president of the Commer
cial Union a large number of the mem
bers assembled at the rooms of the or
ganization for the purpose of discussing
the advisability of taking action in re
gard to securing the state reform school
for giTls. The matter was fully dis
cussed and it was anally decided that
the president should appoint a commit
tee to wait on the Board of Control for
the purpose of ascertaining the exact re
quirements. The committee was taken
under advisement and oq Saturday Mr.
Klossner announced that the committee
would consist of Hon. S. D. Peterson,
Philip Liesch and Ferdinand Crone and
though he is not on the committee Dr.
Strickler has consented to work in con
cert with tne committee and lend his in
fluence toward securing the school.
If New Ulm fails to secure this pro
ject it will not be because it fell short in
its generosity or the advantages offered.
It will because some other town has a
stronger pull and more influential men
to push the business. At the meeting
the matter was thoroughly discussed and
no objection was raised that could not
be easily met an 1 overcome. The com
mittee appointed will go to St. Paul as
soon as word is received from the Board
•f Control giving them a date when it
will be convenient to meet them.
The Union then took up the matter
of securing conventions for the city at
the suggestion of G. A. Ottonieyer, who
made a motion to the effect that the
president and secretary be made a spec
ial committee to look out for conven
tions and make an effort to get them
held in the city. Frank Behake thought

farm land. Ihe lands which Lund's
Land Agency is offering for sale in
South Dakota are not within the "hot
wind" belt any more than Brown county
Minnesota, is within that belt These
lands are being offered for sale at a
puce far below their real value. It will

out there and see them. They will be

and it opened up which much life)
Sleepy Eye is Afraid.
The Sleepy Eye foot ball team which
was so anxieus to claim the victory in
the last contest seems to be afraid to
meet the New Ulm boys in another
game. Every possible inducement was
made to get a game. The boys of this
city even offering to pay their own ex
penses and to leave out the one man ob
jectionable to Sleepy Eye, but the team
from the upper county could not be in
duced to try conclusions. A represen
tative of the local team went to Sleepy
Eye and was informed that half the
team wanted to play but the other half
was afraid. In view of this the local
team is entitled to believe that it is .su
perior. Although the reason closed ou
Thanksgiving iay, Saturday was an ex
celleut day and a game could have been
easilv played. The New Ulm team has
acquitted itself with honor in this sea
son's games, although it has labored un
der the disadvantage of having no op
posing team with which to practice at
home aud has consequently been great
ly handicapped They-will enter anoth
er season with eveiy reason to believe
that they will hold the championship.

is a trying time. The matter of
choosing gifts is a worry to all of
us. Seeing helps the choosing, and
we ask everybody to see what we
carry. Take all the time you want
and make all the comparisons you
like. We have gifts for every
member of the family, and at pr'c

And J. Eckstein,
a Pharmacist.
yf Prom St. Peter Free Press.
Whether or not stores should he closed
on Sundays is the question that gieatly
agitates the minds of the citizens of
New Ulm at present aud, unless cooler
counsel prevails very soon, is likely to
engender hatred and bitterness among
neighbors more lasting than the distur
bance caused by the so-called school
fight some years ago.
Without discussing the strong and
weak points of the Sunday closing law,
there -an be no question about its valid
ity, and if a part of the citizens ot New
Ulm are determined te have it enforced
the other side will be compelled to sub
mit whether they like it or not.
At the same tune Editor Green is de
cidly cerrect when he says, **The Sun
day law cannot be said to be enforced
strictly, or even more than very feebly
anywhere in Minnesota nor, indeed, in
any state," and we are surprised at the
Review's attempt to brush this aside
with a few sneering remarks foreign to
the subject under discussion,
It is a pretty safe assertion that no
town of any sise in this 3tate keeps its
stores and shops closed within the letter
of the law, and this being conceded the
violation of the Sunday closing law is
only a question of degree and complete
ly ignores the piinciple involved.
Periiaps it will be argued that reason
able exceptions are always permissable
and ought not to be bar against the
enforcement of the law as a general
proposition. This, no doubt, is true if
interpreted in a spirit of fairness and
within certain well defined limitations.
But who shall be the judge? The Re
view man, for instance, would think it
rather presumptuous ou the part of an
outsider should the latter remind the
pencil pusher of his inconsistency in
preaching Sunday closing for his neigh
bor and then spend his own time on
that day in reading his exchanges and
thus prepare for the coming week's
work. The hardware dealer, however
religiously inclined, would hardly re
fuse, during harvest time, to sell any
thing to farmers on Sunday, in the line
of machinery that they may see fit to
call for. The same rule applies to the
blacksuuih^ the. wagonmaker, the gro
eer^auoV trie tobacco man. Nor does it
stop here. All lines of trade make ex
ception and there is no time when a
buyer cannot dispose of hundreds of
good hard dollars buying goods on
any Sunday in any part of the state. In
fact, even the Brown County Journal,
posing as the champion of the Sunday
closing movement, winds up a loug ar
ticle with the assurance that "there is
nothing in the contention by some that
this agitation will lead to the closing of
the saloons en Sunday, that no senti
ment exists in that regard in the city
and is something remote in the minds of
those interested in the present crusade
of closing the stores on Sunday," and
thus fthat paper unconsciously en
dorses the theory laid down above.
The Journal is perfectly willing to have
the groceryman arrested fo» selling a
pouud of sugar on Sunday, but he en
ters a vigorous kick when an attempt is
made to deprive him of his glass of beer
in utter disregard for his contention of
the equal rights of all citizens alike.
To an outsider the whole agitation
looks a good deal like a farce, gotten
up foi an ulterior purpose carefully
withheld from view. No one acquaint
ed with conditions in New Ulm will
take much stock in the long winded
articles to the contrary. To those who
happen to be in the majority tire fight
may afford pleasure and profit, but in
the end all will come to realize that it
would have been far better had they ob
served the golden maxim, Do unto oth
era as you would have them do unto you.
PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
President Roosevelt's message to Con
gress is a disapoiotmect. It lacks his
spirit of firmness that led people to be
lieve it would be a vigorous document.
He handles the trust question witbglovts
on and says nothing specific about com
binations and mergers of railroads. On
the tariff reciprocity question the presi
dent does not go so far in proposing leg
lslation as he did his speech at the
Minnesota state fair, and says much less
than President McEinley did in his Buf
falo speech. He evidently feels that he
has grave questions to deal with and
fears a too vigorous attack in the begjn-
