Cold Weather Aggravates Cararrh.
Winter »s here. The nights are long
and cold. The days are short and change
able in temperature. Cold creeps in at
every crevice and draughts occur in spite
of the utmost vigilance. Very few re
maiu safe from climatic diseases. Colds
soon develop into chronic catarrh. A
cough rapidly becomes consumption. La
grippe undermines the system danger
ously. Influenza leives injuries to head
-and throat hard to remove. All these,
things people strive in vain to guard
themselves against. How best can they
doit?
First, get some Peruna. Second, send
to the Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus,
Ohio, for a free copy of Dr. Hartman's
latest book on the climatic diseases of
winter. This book in plain and direct
language tells exactly what to do in all
of the liabilities and emergencies result
ing from wintry weather. If any point
-is doubtful, if the book does not ex
plain fully, a letter to Dr. Hartman will
receive a prompt answer free of charge.
What untold misery this would save
if everyone would heed this advice. Pe
Tuna cures a- cold quicker than any med
icine in the world. Peruna is a sure
•cough cure. Peruna 'is the best if not
the only internal remedy for catarrh yet
devised. Peruna cures la grippe. A book
of testimonials sent free.

Many Masque.
It may be justly said that the musquer
.de at-the. Turner hall Saturday night
one of the finest things ot its kind
as been given in this city for some
time. It was given by the Happy Circle,
which is an organization of the youuger
people of the Turner society who are iu
for a good lime whenever they can have
it. Besides being a masquerade there
were other features connected with the
party that made it of much inteiest to
the visitors and that was the pantomimes
and they were handled and acted out in
sueh a manner that alone they were
worth the price of admission. The party
opened up with John Neumann and Miss
Elsie Koch as prince and princess Carni
val and the princess was attended by a
page in the diminutive person of master
Lawrence Neumann, before whom the
colonials paid homage. This was fol
lowed immediately by the grand polon
aise in which the entire party en masque
took part, there were more than fifty of
them. At the conclusion of the panto
mimes, which occupied the time untii
11 o'clock, the prizes were awarded and
the unmasking took place.

and in behalf of the city of New Ulm to

illegally abstracted and taken from its
treasury as hereinbefore alleged. 5^1p
It was expected that the council would
reject the paper but evidently that body
either feete too secure of its position or
it did not think of it, for npon motion of
Alderman Manderfeltit was ordered filed
and a committee was named to act with
the city attorney for the purpose of de
termining what disposition to make of
it. One of the councilmen remarked
that they could buy the coal cheaper of
Mr. Nagel so they did it, by which he
admitted that the provisions of the
charter were disregarded in that pattiqur
lar. K.'*'.- 1 .yX'f-"" "V'
All of this trouble and expanse and
the ill feeling that has grDwn out of it
might have been avoided from the start
had the council acted on the,- advice of
those who are interested in the New Ulm
Electric Light Coy At the time this
matter fi'St came up the writer was new
in this city a.nd unacquainted with the
feelings and the prejudices of the people
and in shaping the policy of the Review
as he did looked at the matter in an un
prejudiced Hght feeling that it was for
the best iuteres* afctiti^«i4f«te pursue
that course and for nov other reason, a
year has passed now, »hd it has been
demonstrated that it was-the wipe course.
Nothing has «ver prospered or proved ^i
be right and successful that has feeeft
conducted in the interest of personal
spite, either in individual affaira'or p^fo,,
enterprise, and,, whejiiy^e common,
interests of all are at stake it is"*a crime
for a set of men to dictate a policy that
furthers only their own,euds, and though
iu this case the, entire community has to
pay for it in a measure, the action that
is contemplated is to put the punish
ment on the individuals. It is unfortu
nate^ but the warnings have been com
plete and the council instead of,acting
in a *ay that would have made all the
people its friends has^een fit to divide
the sentiment and Open a breach where
in all this trouble oohld find an entrance.
As late as it is there is still a pbsibility
that the trouble can be settled in a man
ner satisfactory'to all and for the good
of the ciijy- it shoujd be done.
An Outside View.
A
of\tl
This is the way it looks to the editor
ie Hauska Herald: After a short
jan^e, and a contemptible effort on the
part of some of.the A.uthorilies in New
Ulm to show the New Ulm Electric Light
Company how eary it is for the big bully
to whip the little boy. There is soma
prospect that the affair will be settled.
It is all right for the city to ruu a light
ing plant, but why in the name of com
mon decency did not the city buy up the
riuhts of the company and go iuto the
business of furnishing light in decent
sMupe. The us^rs of light can afford to
iv a fair price and it is better that they
-IHMK'J, rut her than that the tax list be

Among the bills read at the meeting
was one from H. Nagel for coal, amount
ing to more than $700. The bill was
read and some, one inquired, who H.
Nagel was, Alderman Fior explained
that it was Herman, but upon close in
vestigation the bill was found to be for
M. Nagel. Another bill for draying and
supplies was read H. Napel. The^city
attorney wante«l to know if that was
right, out Mr. Nagel could see nothing
wrong until it was suggested that may
be it was money advanced for freight
and the bill was made to read in that
manner, corrected by the clerk.
