REMARKABLE CLAIRVOYANT
Prof. Anton Weber, Noted German
Clc.ir\o^ ant, is Heie.
Famous Trance Medium Has Suite
of Rooms at Dakota House.
Is in New Ulm to Locate Some Very
Valuable Papers.
Without a doubt, one of the greatest
known claim oyants in the word today
is Prof. Webei,the distinguished clair
voyant and psvchic, who has come to
New Ulm from a very successful visit
in Jackson, Mich. The professor is
located tor a short tin at the Dakota
house, rooms A and When called
upon bj a reporter and a-ked to dis
close the reason ot his \isit here at
the present time, he mtormed the
inquirer that the citizens of New Ulm
requested him to remain. The marvel
ous manifestations ot his wonderful
power are tar superior to the ordinary
palmist and fortune teller, skilled
though the} may be, as the perfected
automobile is to the wheelbarrow.
Those who come to scoff may not re
main to pray, but they go away with a
puzzled look on their faces, wondering
mightily. Perhaps you laugh at first,
when you see rather peculiar methods
used by the professor in telling a
fortune, but when he commences to
talk and piles up fact after tact, which
vou know to be true, even to the smallest
detail, \our laugh dies away, and you
gaze in amazement akin to awe at the
mysterious man before you, as though
he were some uncanny being fresh from
another orId. You sit chained to the
chair with fascination while your past
and future are laid bare before jou.
After answering the final question you
are peiplexed and abstractedly draw
forth your purse, throwing an inquiring
glance at Mr. Weber. He smiles and
asks if you are satisfied, saying that he
never accepts payment until assured
that a person is perfectly satisfied and
that he believes he has received a fair
return for his money.
Most assuredly, the professor differs
from other clairvoyants. You laugh,
still rather confusedly, and like every
one else, declare that you are gald to
pay the small compensation asked.
Many affirm no money value can be
nxed upon the good which they ha^e
received.
A reporter called upon the professor
to hnd out horn peisonal observation
whether he was what he pi ofesses, to be
or a fake. As far as the reporter was
concerned, he verj quickly divined
that Prof. Weber was not a fake, but
know—general public—he interviewed
half a dozen people as they came from
the room. An interview was not realh
necessary for on the faces of all there
was the same mj stifled, wondering
look. All averred that the manifesta
tions given b\ the protessor were most
extraordinary.
The reporter expected to find in the
person of Prof. Weber a fortune teller
•of the usual type rather thin, with a
face either painfully pale or stained a
rich brown with walnut juice, beard
and mustache like those worn by pic
tured Frenchmen in the comic supple
ments ot our Sundaj papers, rather
long hair, and freakish clothes, posing
as a Hindoo prophet. He was happily
disappointed. Prot. Weber is about 40
\ears of age, of medium height, well
built, with a smooth shaven, attract
ive face and jet black hair, cut in the
most approved fashion. He was well
dressed and had the appearance and
manner of a true gentleman.
If he so desired'he might darken his
complexion and well pass for an Ori
ental prince. Such ib not his desire,
however, and he is satisfied even not
to change his name. The very honesty
of the man counts in his favor. He
doesn't profess to be a superior being
and the description of his life as told
by himself is very simple. He was
born in Germany, and his parents are
German. He is fairly well educated,
has traveled extensively, and has ap
peared in all the principal cities of the
world in the capacity of clairvoj ant.

The professor asked permission ta
give the reporter a brief reading, dar
ing to run the risk of spoiling the first
good impression and maybe get an un
complimentary notice in the paper for
his pains. But he well knew that there
was no risk about it, and feltconfident
that he would give satisfaction. As a
starter, he gave the reporter's age, the
day of the month and the year he was
born the" full name of his father and
mother's maiden name. Then he
plunged into the body of the reading,
making statement after statement until
the subject was amazed and bewildered
at the strangeness of it all.
The professor tells fortunes by as
trology and clairvoyancy. He is ab
solutely reliable, and, realizing that
merit brings reward when the reading
is over with, you do not have to pay
unless you feel satisfied with what you
have been told.
Those who have been humbugged by
the hundreds of take fortune tellers
now on the road will do well to con
sult Prof. Weber. He gives advice on
business, speculation and courtship.
He settles lovers'quarrels,reunites the
separated, causes speedy and happy
marriages with friends and enemies,
etc.
His parlors at the Dakota house,
rooms A and B, are constantly visited
by men ot good repute, anxious for
reliable information as to the outcome
of future and past investments, and ot
ladies ot all grades of life.
Prof Weber is undoubtedly a won
derful man, one of the greatest clair
voyants who have ever visited the
state of Minnesota. Everyone should
seize this opportunity to see and con
sult this remarkable man, whether they
have any serious questions to ask or
not. He is earnest and sincere and
can be depended upon to answer truth
fully any question put to him.
Ladies need feel no hesitancy in vis
iting Prof. Weber, as Madam Weber
meets all callers in the parlor. Hours
9 a. m. to 7 p. m., daily and Sundays.

JAPS GAVE HIM NOTICE
L. BuengerGiven Mention in Japanese
Newspaper.
Last week Louis J. Buenger received
a consignment of handsome rugs direct
from Japan and accompanying them
was a newspaper printed in Japanese
characters which contained a nattering
mention of the New Ulm furniture
dealer. That is, the notice is assumed
to be flattering for although Mr.
Buenger is a linguist of nomean ability
he has not yet acquired fluency in the
Japanese tongue nor is he familiar
with the printed matter which eminates
from the land of the Mikado.
He has, however, been given assur
ances by the firm which exported the
rugs that the article in question gives
him a very nice send-off, dwelling at
length upon the history of New Ulm
and reciting the fact that the consign
ment was billed for far-away Minne
sota. The newspaper itself is a de
cided curiosity. Few English words
appear upon its pages and it is gotten
up almost entirely in the quaint char
acters of the Orient.
In the advertising columns appear a
few lines which may be read, one dis
played space setting forth the virtues
of Hero cigarettes, another of Merrick's
thread and a third of a patent dress
shield manufactured in America. Here,
also, are the only illustrations which
appear in the paper, the cuts ranging
from coquettish Japenese maids in
tha most impossible of attitudes to
prosaic students' lamps.
The rugs which were received by the
local dealer are now being exhibited
in his show windows. They are of the
sort which are produced in no other
country but Japan and the workman
ship is very fine. They illustrate that
the Japanese have a love for bright
colors but the designs are worked up
in a surprisingly unique manner.
Committed Second Time.
Louisa Macho, a 17-year-old girl,
was examined as to her sanity by Drs.
G. B. Weiser and E. W. Bayley be
fore Judge of Probate S. A. George
Monday afternoon. May 6, 1902, the
girl was sent to the asylum at St. Peter
but after being kept there until last
November she was discharged as cured.
For several months after leaving the
hospital she acted rational butrecently
her maniacal spells have returned. She
has been incorrigible at times and Sun
day she broke several panes of glass
in her mother's house. While her ex
amination was being conducted she
railed at the doctors and the^ officers
and raised a laugh by referring to one
loquacious female witness as a "taking
machine." When ordered committed
for the second time and given in charge
of Sheriff Julius, she made a dask for
liberty down the corridor of the court
house but was soon captured by the
officer. He took her to St. Peter on the
3:50 train.

COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH
One May be Formed by Commis
sioners Next Week.
Will Also Discuss Plans For County
Jail and Poor Home.
Residents of Leavenworth Want
Bridge Across Cottonwood.
Brown county commissioners will
hold their regular July session be
ginning next Monday and at that time
a number of important matters will be
acted upon by the board. They will
discuss the advisability of building a
new county jail and poor home and
will also take some steps in regard to
the recommendation of the state board
of health that a county health board
be appointed.
The county board of health is a
comparatively new institution, al
though it was up before the commis
sioners at one of their meetings last
year. It has as its principal object
the coping with infectious disease and
has been pronounced a success in
several counties where it has been
tried. Locally there is a sentiment in
its favor. Under the present arrange
ment there is more or ,less confusion
in handling cases where the county
meets the expense of fumigation, etc.,
and it is contended that such cases
could be looked after tar more system
atically and at greatly reduced cost.
Should the project meet with the ap
proval of the commissioners a board
of three members will probably be
appointed, to consist of one physician
and two commmissioners.
Some action will doubtless be taken
with respect to a new county jail. No
county was ever more sorely in need
of a new prison than is this, and in
view of the expressions of the various
grand juries and the people themselves
it is likely that the commissioners will
not defer action an£ longer than is ab
solutely "necessary. At the July meet
ing their efforts will probably be de
voted to obtaining plans and specifi
cations for a modern building to re
place the present antiquated structure
and they may arrange to start upon
the work this fall.
A new home for paupers and county
charges is also on the schedule. Archi
tect Herman Amme has drawn up a set
of plans for a very convenient dwell
ing to be erected on the poor farm and
the commissioners have advertised for
bids upon the work. If the latter are
satisfactory thecontract will be award
ed at this meeting. Estimates will al
so be received upon a boiler for the
court house and it is understood that
Albert Cummings of Ridgely, will sub
mit a proposal to the commissioners
to operate his ferry across the Minne
sota river until a bridge can be erect
ed, the county to allow him a nominal
sum for keeping it in repair.
Residents of the township of Leaven
worth want a new bridge across the
Big Cottonwood river at Howard's
crossing. They have drawn up a peti
tion and will send a committee down
to urge their claims. Bills which
have been accumulating since the
first of the year will be allowed and
paid and many people' will be made
happy in consequence.
May Accept Cattle.
Messers. M. Mullen and Chas. Stuebe,
Sr., of the Minnesota and Dakota Cat
tle company, left Monday for Kansas
City. Last week they received word
of their cattle from the officials of the
Autchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe rail
road. Since the floods at Kansas City
the animals have been allowed to graze
at Emporia, Kan., and the railroad
men report that most of them are put
ting on flesh, although there are a few
who still show signs of their experi
ence at Kansas City and whose condi
tion does not appear to improve.
Messrs. Mullen and Stuebe will ex
amine the herd and if they are in any
kind of shape will ship them to their
ranch in South Dakota. If, on the
other hand, the animals do not show
lip well they will insist upon the rail
road company paying them outright
for the entire herd.
E FOUNDATION OF HEALTH.
Nourishment is the foundation of
health—Jife—strength. Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure is the one great medicine that en
ables the stomach and digestve oigaus
to digest, assimilate and transform all
foods into the kind of blood that nour
ishes the nerves and feeds the tissues.
Kodol lays the foundation foi health
Nature does the rest. Iudigestion,Dyspep
sia, and all disorders of the stomach and
digestive organs are cured by the use of
Kodol. Sold by all druggists.
There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to to be a con
stitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken internally
in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.

RATES NOT SATISFACTORY
Roads Stop Work on Lumber and
Coal Tariffs.
Maintain They Will Interfere With
Interstate Rates.
Matter May Have to Be Taken to
Courts For Settlement.
There has been a hitch over the
establishment of the new freight rates
upon coal and lumber in Minnesota
and it is not improbable that the state
railroad and warehouse commission
will be compelled to resort to the
courts to secure the enforcement of the
reductions ordered recently. Traffic
officials have suspended the checking
of the reductions, and it is given out
that an appeal to the executive officers
of the road is under consideration.
Whether the checking of the rates
will be resumed again or not is prob
lematical. Traffic officers have found
that the lumber rate reductions cannol
be made without disturbing hundreds
of rates quoted from Minnesota inter
ior points to outside points, on which
the commission's order applies only
to the Minnesota portion of the rate.
The commission has no jurisdiction
outside of the state, and yet to obey
its orders will have the same effect on
hundreds of rates outside of Minneso
ta as though they were under Minne
sota's jurisdiction.
Traffic men state that the problem of
adjusting coal rates and equalizing
them to tariffs in force on other lines
and outside of the state is capable of
a solution, but not until a large num
ber of rates the commission has no
power to touch have been affected.
With lumber, however, the question is
quite different, since the lumber traffic
in Minnesota and into Minnesota and
out again over connecting lines and
the traffic originating in Minnesota
and destined to outside points is a
very much larger portion of the entire
freight movement.
Lumber tariffs cover several thous
and different points, all of which take
their own rates. These points are
manj of them in competition with lines
not operating in Minnesota. To lower
the Minnesota portion of the rate and
allow the portions from Minnesota
boundaries to destination to remain
the same, railroad men say, would
produce endle&s discrimination. To
equalize the reductions with the com
petitive rates of outside lines is in
itself a large question.
The check of the lumber rates has
progressed to a point where theSe prob
lems, all of which were outlined as
objections to further action by traffic
men, are clearly defined. It is now
considered probable that the entire
question of rate reductions will be
submitted to the executive officers for
consideration, after which a decision
to let the matter go into the courts is
expected by many well-informed offi
cials.
It is stated on excellent authority
that an effort to secure a compromise
with the railroad commission will
probably be made. There is a hope
ful feeling among many officials and
it is believed that when the exact situ
ation is laid before the commission
modifications of its order sufficient to
overcome many of the greatest diffi
culties in equalizing the rates with
rates outside Minnesota will be
allowed.
Traffic officers of the coast lines and
of several Chicago-St. Paul lines,
heavily interested in the lumber move
ment, were in conference Friday with
Commissioner Staples and other mem
bers.
Cyclone Was Severe.
Prof. E. T. Critchett came up from
Windom Friday to spend the Fourth
with his family, returning to his
summer school duties Sunday. Prof.
Critchett saw the cyclone at Windom
last week and he says that the reports
of the damage done by the tornado
were not exaggerated. The storm came
up between 6 and 7 o'clock in the even
ing and ravaged the country south of
Windom and near Wilder. Its path
was about 40 rods wide and eight miles
long and it left behind it the utmost
desolation. Eleven persons will killed
and the property' loss amounted to
fully half a million. The storm passed
within two blocks of the hotel at which
Prof. Critchett was stopping and
created havoc in the southern part of
the city of Windom. All the lives were
lost in the country and after the storm
theNewUlmman drove out and viewed
several of the places at which damage
was done. On one farm fifteen persons
sough refuge in a cellar. They had
hardly gained the haven when the tor
nado carried away the house and all
the buildings on the place, valued 0
about $30,000.
Mrs. T. Thomas is now sole proprietress
of the Millinery Parlors, Mrs. Eder
having retired on the first of the month.

Makes
Wood Floors
Last.
Creolite is a mineral paint which
protects wood floors and makes
them wear like iron. It fills all
cracks and soft places, prevents
roughness and gives a hard, duia
ble finish. It has plenty ot body
yet is thin enough to spread easily.
It has great coyeiing power—a
gallon will give two good coats to
between 200 and 300 square feet
4* of flooring, depending on the con
i| dition of the smface to he covered.
Is easily end quickly applied and
j£ dries over night. Will nevei peel
off or become "tacky." A floor
painted with "Creolite" is easily
cleaned. Each application of wa
ter makes it harder and firmer
than bsfore. It is too cheap a
floor coveiing for the price to be
J» an argument against its use.
Can be had here only.
