Mrs. Barthel Gareis and was born
here in New Ulm. From here the
family moved to Bel view, Minn,
where the boy learned the miller's
trade under the supervision of his
father who was at one time head miller
of the Eagle Roller Mill. For the
past few years he has lived in Minne
apolis. Tbis is the second death from
tuberculosis in the family, a daughter

disease last year.

time last Thursday and Friday. He

two visits he made of special interest
to New Ulm people. First he called
on Mr. and Mrs. Louis Quaet at
Rushville, Nebraska and informed
them that they were elected as parents
of a fine girl baby. From there be
proceeded to Mandan, North Dakota,
where resides another happy New Ulm
couple and told them he thought their
home an ideal place for a baby boy
he had picked out for them. The
North Dakota son and heir has been
nsmed Robert Klesllng Pfaender but
the girl had not yet been formally
accepted into the family altho it is
safe to say the parents will find a
name suitable to be used with that of

To-morrow (Thursday) May 1st, the
New Ulm Rural Telephone Co. will
hold their annual meeting at Sehell's
Hall Notice to tbis effect has been
mailed to the stockholders by See'y.
F. Retzlaff. The annual reports
will be submitted and anew board of
directors will be elected and other
matters of importance will come up
for discussion and action. A good
attendance is therefore desired.
If a man walks into your premises
without asking your permission and
looks around and makes notations,
do not be alarmed. He is perfectly
haimless and has no evil intentions
against your home. He is a Mr. F. J.
McCarthy of Chicago, in the employ
of the Sanborn Map Co. of New York,
who make the maps for the insurance
companies, showing the location and
si/e of every building, in town. Mr.
Sanborn is securing the necessary
data so that accurate maps can be
prepared for New Ulm. He has been
here a couple of weeks and may be
kept busy for another three weeks.
Conrad Alex has installed a pearl
fishery of his own on the banks of the
Minnesota River. Altho be has not
yet found pesrls of any value to speak
of, he expects to make a day's wages
out of the shells he is taking out of
the river He has as complete an
outfit as the strangers who were doing
the clamfisbing stunt last year and has
bacome quite an expert already. Since
he began operations last fall he has
garnered about ten tons of clam
shells which be will dispose of as
as the market rallies. Conrad is
on the rural mail force just as before
but by using an auto in making |be
delivery trip he gets back to town
early besides giving the patrons on
his route quick service and has the
afternoons for his own private busi
ness. He began fishing as early as
February this season.
Luther Ives of Tracy was in tte
city last week calling on some of his
friends of pioneer days. Altho 72
years old, Mr. Ives has the energy
and mentality of a much younger man.
There are few men living who know
this section of the country better than
does this veteran of early days. Over
Gfty years ago when there were prac
tically no settlers in Lyon County, his
trapping trips would take him farther
west even than whereTracy now stands
Mr. Ives can tell some very inter
esting tales of those times. He is also
famous as one of the two survivors of
the expedition that was set upon by
the Indians at the point marked by the
boulder bearing a name plate on the
road to St. Alexander's Hospital.
Sam'l McAuliffe of Gates, N. Y. is the
only other living survivor of that at
tack.
An account of the poor roads it was
impossible for the game of bail sche
duled for Sunday at Fairfax to be
pulled off and that gives the New Ulm
club a chance to begin the season at
home as they will play Mankato next
Sunday at the A. A. grounds. To
start at home with a loyal bunch of
face to cheer them on to victory may
be the means of getting the team well
started on a successful season. The
weather at this writing looks as tho it
had been specially prepared for the
opening game and if itcontinues favor
able all week the boys will soak in
enuf "pep" to make things start with
hum. A sunny day without a cold
breese and you have the chief makin's
of a good game, and only one thing
more is essential to a good showing
by the boys and that is an enthusias
tic crowd of rooters, fans and bugs.
Every business man who has invested
a cent in the new club should be on
hand Sunday afternoon toscollect the
interest on his money. The game will
be called at 3 P. M. and the ^baseball
band will be in attendance.
