Rag Chewing Ends in a Tie.
Before thp largest crowd of the
season the locals and the fast Spring
field base ball club crossed bats on
the association diamond Sunday after
noon. Durinsr the early innings of
the game the fans were treated to
some real base ball, but towards the
end of the game it developed in a rag
chewing match. The fans were dis
gusted with the conduct of some of
the players. The sooner the players
realize that true base ball fans come
down to the ball park to see a ball
game and not to listen to an argument
with the umpire the better it will be
for the entire base ball team and base
ball in this city in general.
"Big Bill" Pfeiffer started to do
the twirling for the locals, but in the
fourth inning the Springfield boys
went after him with hammer and
tongs and bombarded him with a fusil
lade of hits. Before the smoke bad
cleared away four runs had crossed
the plate. Huhn was called in to take
Pfeiffer's olace in the pitcher's box
tn pitched a good game. Huhn is a
good pitcher and should be given an
opportunity to work oftener than he is.
The fielding of both teams was ragged
at times. Limmy Puhlmann was in
the box for the visitors and pitched
good ball. The feature o! the gatte
-was Huhn's home run drive in the
tenth inning. This was one of the
longest hits ever seen on the local
diamond. By agreement the game
was called at the end of the tenth in
ning with the score a tie. Final score
10 to 10.
Batteries
New Ulm: Pfeiffer, Huhn and
Kleinschmidt.
Springfield: Puhlmann and John
son.
Notes.
A return game with Sprinfield will
be played with Springfield on Sunday
June 22nd.
A new member has been added to
the local team. 11. A. Dahms, for-
The foolish wa^M
money
There are two ways of saving your money—
the foolish way and the wise way. The foolish
way is to put it where tire, theft or other calamity
can take it from you in a second. The wise way
is to put it in a bank of good standing like ours,
where it is taken care of in fire and burglar
proof vaults. Follow the example of the best
business men and farmers in this district—start
an account here at once—it is also the straightest
road to success and wealth.
Come in and let us talk it over.
Brown County Bank
New Ulm, Minnesota*
merly with Mankato has secured work
in this city and will play with the
locals the balance of the season.
Dahms played field last Sunday.
Sunday the locals will meet the fast
Sleepy Eye team on the Association
Grounds. A good game is guaran
teed. Sleepy Hye defeated the locals
at Sleepy Eye two weeks a*o by the
close score of 5 to 7. Bozoski, the
big Indian pitcher, will no doubt be
in the box for the Sleepy Eye boys.
This will be the biggest game of the
season.
The second team of the Association
Club journeyed over to Lafayette Sun
day where they met defeat at the
bands of the Lafayette team by the
score of 9 to 10. Huevelmann and
Berg constituted the battery for the
locals, the former striking out seven
teen men, but errors by his teammates
lost the game for him. A return game
will be played in New Ulm on June
22nd on the Association Grounds.
Weather Report lor May.
According to the weather report for
the month of May just made public by
voluntary observer Alex L. Henle, the
prevailing wind during the month was
from the south and we had two
thunderstorms, one on the 11 tb and
the other on the 14th of May. The
weather on 8 days was bright and
clear, cloudy on 22 days and partly
cloudy on one day. The mean tem
perature was 53.53 degrees as com
pared with 59.1") degrees for the
previous year. The hottest day was
on May 29th when the thermometer
registered 92 degrees while on May
28th of 1912 it registered 8ti degrees.
On May 10th the thermometer dropped
to 32 degrees which was 3 degrees
colder than last year. The total pre
cipitations amounted to 1 IS inches
which is .40 greater than last year.
On Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Hage, Ole
Serumgard and Thor Snilsberg at
tended the silver wedding of Mr. and
Mrs. Nels T. Olsen who live one mile
east of Haneka. Prom there they
drove to Madelia and had supper at
Siver Hage's, returning the same
evening.
A
June Settlement
Of the $212,951.13 tax levy for 1912,
a total of 8131,604.30 was collected
between the March settlement and
.luce 1st. This is $2,1351 29 more than
was collected in the same period of
time last year. Immediately after the
last day for paying taxes had expired,
Co. Auditor Vogel anu Co. Treasurer
Berg set to work on the June settle
ment and managed to have this ready
for submission to the State Auditor
by Wednesday of last week.
The mortgage registry tax amounted
to $832 14, the delinquent taxes and
penalties to 9492 48 and the balance
was received tor current taxes.
It may be of interest to note that
of the taxes thus collected, leas than
twice as much was apportioned to the
various school districts for educa
tional purposes as wa9 apportioned
to the State for all purposes. Another
noteworthy fact is that as much was
raised in taxes to run the County as
was apportioned all told to the cities,
'villages and towns of the County.
New Ulm receives $9,011,34 which is
almost one-third of the total taxes
levied for town and municipal pur
poses. Of the $31,653.79 raised for
this purpose, Cobden receives only
II 45. In the matter of the apportion
ment for school purposes New Ulm is
also in the lead, receiving within
$1000 as much as Sleepy Eve and
Springfield combined.
The taxes collected as shown by
the June settlement were apportioned
among the various funds as follows.

State school 7,765 06
Total $22,750 00

Corrections to List of Alumni.
Last week's History of New Ulm
High School Alumni excited consider
able interest and a great many of those
belonging to the classes have com
mented favorably on it and some have
volunteered information about a few
of the missing ones or corrections of
errors resulting from misinformation
In the class of 1907 the name of Alice
Mueller was omitted by an error of
the typesetter and proof reader. Miss
Mueller taught music after her gradu
ation and now is Mrs. Elmer Haeberie
We regret exceedingly that her name
should have been omitted from the
list.
A. P.' Boock was given as bookkeep
er at the Eagle Mill. We learn that
several years ago Mr. Boock was
promoted from the bookkeeping to the
sales department of the Company.
Alexander Seifert writes us that
Albert Domeier of the Class of 1910 is
attending the University of Minnesota,
studying dentistry and that Joseph
Paas, 1969, studied Pharmacy at the
University. He also tells us that
Edwin Rolloff, 1911, was located at a
bank in Lake Benton six months ago
but is not sure whether he is now
there. Miss Alwina Ganske, 1902,
taught school in District 15 for some
years and then married Mr. Almond
Loomis. Five years ago th«,y moved
to Saskatchewan, Can. where they
now live on a farm.
Herman Raabe, 1892, is another of
the Eagle Mill book-keepers who has
been promoted he is now in the gram
department. Wm. Lindemann, 1907,
Is an elevator clerk and Clara C. Kor
bel, 1905, is in the Advertising depart
ment at the Eagle Mill.
Otto A. Groebner, 1911, is not em
ployed at the Eagle Mill but has been
attending the University.
Alfred Penkert, 1912, is employed at
Stuebe Bros.
Walter V. Backer, 1911, is working
as draughtsman with some Minneapo
lis Company.
Dr. L. Bell will attend the dental
clinic at Minneapolis, Friday and
Saturday of this week.
The little son of Rev. Hohn fell down
the cellar steps in the Durbahn store
on State Street last Thursday after
noon and broke his left arm between
wrist and elbow. The fracture is
mending nicely.
John Gronau who is erecting the
addition to the Mueller & Aab garage
suffered a painful, altho not serious
accident Tuesday morning about ten
o'clock. While a steel truss was being
elevated by means of a derrick, one of
the guy ropes broke when the truss
was about four feet from the ground.
It came down and struck Mr. Gronau
on the forehead inflicting a wound
which required several stitches. Mr.
Gronau was taken home and at the
most will be laid up for only a few
days.
Rev. Mayer performed the ceremony
which united Miss Laura E. Schauer
and Archibald L. Taylor Tuesday
morning at Essig. The bride is a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Julius
Schauer of Essig and the groom is
from Springfield where he is employed
by the Northwestern Railway. The
ceremony took place at 11 o'clock in
the presence of only the immediate
relatives. Miss Clara Schauer and
Alfred Penkert acted as witnesses.
The young people will live at Spring
field after a wedding trip to the home
of Mr. Taylor's parents east of
Waseca and possibly to Chicago.
Henry Bastian is proudly showing
in the store window one of the Minne
sota State emblems, the Moccasin
Flower, as it is commonly known.
Mr. Bastian tells us that these flowers
are becoming almost extinct and that
there is little doubt that there will be
no more of them in a few years as the
plant can not be cultivated and its
wild haunts are rapidly becoming
lost. We are also indebted to Mr.
Bastian for the following information
as to the family and species of this
flower. It belongs to the Orchidaceae,
(orchids), genus, Cyprlpedlum, spec
ies, Cypripedium Soectabile, which
gives it its common name, "Showy
Lady Slipper."
Review of Work Done Univer
sity Week
University Week closed in a blaze
of success with the presentation of
the dtama, "Judah," by the Univer
sity Dramatic Club. Turner hall au
ditorium was moi-e than comfortably
filled when the curtain rose on the
first scene, Saturday evening, and tho
the waits between the acts were
longer than the audience is accus
tomed to little impatience was ex
pressed and the general verdict was
the production was worth the wait
ing. While there was not a great
deal of material upon which to build
a drame, the entire action hinging
upon one motive, it was a remarkably
strong play, one that held the audi
ence and presented to them force
fully the intense love of the truth
that is inherent in the Celtic vision
ary who hears voices commending
or rebuking his slightest act. A
workaday world does not quite grasp
the visions of the mystic nor under
stand his anguish when he has done
wrong but the players evidently ap
preciated the parts they were play
ing for they succeeded in making
them real. The cast as a whole was
good and the leading parts were more
than well done. Miss Emilie Eggen
played the leading woman's part. She
also gave a program of dramatic
readings at the afternoon meeting
Saturday.
Of the purely instructive, lectures
given during the week, the one by Dr.
Burt L. Newkirk was probably the
most interesting for he told of things
that were entirely new to practically
every one of his hearers and by
means of practical illustrations of
the workings of the Gyroscope suc
ceeded in making very plain to his
audience what he was trying to ex
plain. It is not often that a lec
turer succeeds in showing so dis
tinctly what he is try to to teach but
his address had been carefully work
ed out from the simplest examples
up to the most complicated and his
audience found themselves with very
clear ideas of the workings of the
monowheel car and the gyrocompass.
Preceding Dr. Newkirk's lecture mov
ing pictures were shown, which were
most interesting, showing the jelly
fish and other minute creatures of
the sea.
The speakers in the debate on So
cialism were clever but it is to be
regretted that they did not touch up
on the fundamentals of the question
debated. The audience were looking
for actual arguments for and against
the principles of socialism and all
they got was a discussion of public
ownership with not a word as to the
basic principles of tKe movement or
the opposition to it.
Dr. Craig gave an afternoon audi
ence Friday a delightful hour of Sou
thern stories of the Uncle Remus or
der. Dr. Craig spoke with a plea for
the South and the problem it has to
solve in connection with the negro.
Miss Edna S. Fischer of the Mankato
Normal showed parents and teachers
the value of right games for the chil-1
dren and proved that games develop
the faculties quite as well as work
and study does, teaching the child
self-dependence and decision. The
children who played with Miss Fisch
er greatly enjoyed it all and seemed
ROYAL
Baking Powder
to forget as did their leader that
they were playing for an audience,
which in itself is proof of the good
of Miss Fischer's system.
Miss Harriet Hetland gave "Polly
of the Circus," a dramatic reading in
four parts, at Thursday afternoon's
session which was much enjoyed and
another similar hour was provided by
Mrs. Dorothy Kurtzman Wednesday.
Taken all in all, the week was a
success, both financially and from the
point of instruction and entertain
ment. Something over a hundred dol
lars above the guarantee fund was
realized from the sale of the tickets
and some of this will remain as a
fund to start something similar for
next year. The speakers declared
that the interest shown in New Ulm
as manifested by attendance was
greater than anywhere else on the
circuit. A general harmony prevail
ed and all classes and divisions of
population took advantage of the op
portunity to see and hear something
out of the ordinary. The afternoon
audiences gradually increased from,
day to day, proving that the public
was interested and judged what they
were getting as being worth while
going to hear. No doubt University
Week will prove a permanent feature
here until something still more ad
vanced comes to take its place. Much
credit is due to all who'worked for
the success of the effort, especially
to the members of the reception com
mittee and to Rev. Hohn for his un
failing energy in making arrange
ments. Credit should also be given
to those who put aside their own
concerns for the week and attended
the lectures often for it could not
have been a success without steady
boosters who proved the worth of
the project by taking advantage of
it and encouraging others to do so.
