Serenade Terminates in Rout. A party of serenaders armed with

•provisions for a good time and accom­panied with a skeleton band prepared bo have a good time one evening last ireek at the home of a newly married wjuple in this city but they failed to reckon on their host who did not see *he funny side of the affair at that time and gave them a warm reception. It is needless to say that they stood not •n the manner of leaving but left, and ft is said that there are several articles which the seienaders failed to recover in their haste. It was a joke that some­how failed to be appreciated at that late hour by either side.

Members of the New Ulm Turnverein are arranging for the annual ball which is set for the 7th of March. This i a t e is the nearest to Ash Wednesday that can be secured and at that time •fee society will inaugurate its great masquerade ball.

This event is annually looked for-•ward to by the people of the city and sever fails to attract attention and to <iraw large crowds of people. It is the ••lose of the festival season and those "who participate make the most of it.

This year arrangements have been "«ade to have the ball more elaborate ihan ever before and, following as it ^oes so soon after the masquerade of the Second Regiment, the interest wiil Ifte at its heighth and there will doubt­less be a larger number of people •nmasque than on previous occasions.

The stage features are arranged and •will be put on as follows:

1—A gymnastic class from Uncle Sam's new possessions.

2—An odd wooing and its practical ionsequences.

3—Prince and Princess Carnival— Polonaise.

4—Dance of the Water-Nymphs. 5—Biggest nonsense of the new

century. 6—Dance of the Scotch. '—Jealousy of the first rate. 8—Unmasking. Previous to the unmasking only

Khose wearing masks will be allowed te> dance, and if there are any who •wish to enter the stage contest in the way of groups they will have an op­portunity if they notify Henry Engel, JYed Grebe or Ed. Petre. Admission will be 50c a person.

Hub hard, Temple, Texas, writes, March 22, 1902: ' ' I have used Herbine for tlv past two years. It has done me more good than all the doctors. When I feel bad and have that tired feeling, I take a tlose of Herbine. It is the best medicine ever made for chills and fever." 50ets. a bottle. Sold bv Eugene A. Pfeff.-rle-

Otto Groebner and John Neuwirth were arrested yesterday and brought before Justice Brandt charged with petit larceny, the charge being pre­ferred by the C. & N. W. railroad. They were fined $10 each and $7.60 costs and given a sentence of fifteen days in the county jail. It appears that there were old people working with the boys and because of this and the youthfulness of the culprits, the sentence was suspended pending the good behavior of the boys.

The boys, whose homes are in that part of the city known as Goosetown, are charged with breaking into box cars and stealing small articles and distributing them among a set of ten or twelve youngsters. The goods ap­propriated in this way were candy, chewing tobacco, crackers and the like. The boys evidently having a good time while the stolen goods lasted.

These depredations extend over a period of six months or more, the first being early in the month of October, at which time a lot of candy was taken, and traces of it were found along the tracks as far as the round house. Later some chewing tobacco was missed but no trace of it could be secured. On the 18th of February a quantity of cheese and crackers was taken.

Detective Manning has been in the city for the past week and in connection with Chief Klause has succeeded in ferreting outthecriminals, and charges are to be preferred against two boys whose ages are twelve and fifteen years.

It does not appear that the boys made any attempt to sell the articles and the only purpose in the theft was to secure enough to give them and their friends a good time.

FIRE INSURANCECbTFORGES AHEAD

lenging to Carlson Bros, is removed the room is to be fitted over so as to be acceptable for a stock of plumbing goods. It is expected that the work will require about ten days and then the firm will move in.

The upper floor will be used as an office and for supplies and other goods, and the basement will be used as a work shop. Here the . lathes will be located and the heavy work connected with the business be done.

The new -location will give the firm all the advantages they have been denied in the old place and their patrons will be benefitted as well as themselves by the change.

Gradually the Minnesota Mutual Fire Insurance Co. of this city is assuming a strong place in the list of similar^ associations in the state, although it is the youngest. The com­pany has just received its statement from the commissioner and the warrant of that official to do business in this state for the coming year. This state­ment is published iu another column Of the Review, and shows a wonderful progress for the infant organization.

Up to the time of the making of the annual statement the company had been in the field for active work but four months and the accumulation of actual business for that time is remarkable.

There is a practical and very efficient management behind it that has im­parted to it a vigor that is catching and the agents on the road seem to have the same interest in the develop­ment of the organization as the men in the office, which is part of the secret of the growth.

We take the following from the re­port of the board of audit which yesterday was submitted to the directors of the organization:

" W e find that during thefourmonths that the company has been in business insurance amounting to $416,289.15 with premiums of $6,960.33 has been written. All losses and expenses have been paid and there is on hand cash assets amounting to $3,501.81. •

"The policy holders are to be con­gratulated on the excellent results of the business done during the year and this Committee does not hesitate to say that perfect confidence can be placed in the ability of the officers and directors to conduct the business in such manner as to result in a large saving in the cost of insurance to every member of the Company."

For many a month people of this county have been waiting to know just when W. J. Bryan was to be here, and it is only recently that a date has been definitely decided upon and the time fixed is March 16th.

Early in the fall, when the matter of getting Mr. Bryan here was discussed it was said then that he would have the largest audience ever given a lecturer in this city, and this still seems to hold true.

Everybody wants to see and hear the celebrateu democrat, for a man who has won such a world-wide repu­tation, and built it up on the solid basis that Mr. Bryan has, is a man who does not come in touch with peo­ple at all times, and this is an oppor­tunity to be taken advantage of.

The subject of Mr. Bryan's discourse is one that will appeal to all, "The Value of an Ideal ," gives him a lati­tude which enables him to touch upon many things that are of interest and practical value to all. He has de­livered this lecture in many of the large cities of the state and everywhere it has won him the highest praise-

As an orator, it is said that Mr. Bryan has no equal. He is fluent of language and his discourse is different from Mr. Watterson's in that it is couched in words that are familiar to all. Mr. Watterson appeals to a very cultured class, and in this way, with his Latin and French many who went to hear him were disappointed.

It will be different with Mr. Bryan. He has been too long on the public rostrum to attempt anything of that kind and expect to make it popular, so there is no reason to believe that any person who goes to hear him will be disappointed.

He will have a welcome to New Ulm that will be gratifying to him as well as to the management of Turner theatre which has been to great expense to get him.

After lying dormant for a long time life has again returned to the Com-meacial Union of this city. A meeting called for Monday evening, brought out a number of the members and con­siderable business was transacted, most important of which is the instruc­tions to the committee on improve­ments to go ahead with the work on the road crossing the Little Cotton­wood south of the city.

This road, in the springtime, gets so it is almost impassable and farm­ers living in that section of the coun­try naturally tributary t© New Ulm and who would like to trade here find difficulty in doing so. In order to do this considerable grading will have to be done and a strip of land will have to be purchased.

The idea is to get a strip of land on the half-section line crossing what is known as the old Kalb creek, and by so doing save a large amount of trav­el. A bridge will have to be built over the creek and some grading will have to be done.

Sometime ago a committee to inves­tigate this was appointed which looked the matter up and and reported that it was to the best interests of the city to complete the work, and if their report is correct, as it appears to be, the work will be well expended.

Attention was called to the fact that nothing was being done in regard to securing the girls training school and the secretary was instructed to corres­pond with the senator and representa­tive from this district with the pur­pose of getting them to work for the interests of New Ulm.

Attention was also called to the fact that a seed special is to be in the city on the 8th and it is desired that as many farmers as possible be present to get the benefit of the talks which will be given. The lecture is to be at the M. & St. L. depot and will be given at 11 o'clock. There is to be a special train and a large number of people will come in on the train.

The matter of getting one of the large circuses to come to this city was brought up and an effort is to be made to secure such an attraction in the hope that it will bring people to the city and attract attention.

Ferd. Crone and F. H. Retzlaff were appointed a committee to go before

Chief Klause is in receipt of a letter from Christ Schwerr in which he says, ' 'I feel proud to write that I am serving my third year and that I haven't one bad mark against me. I have a No. 1 record so far and I am willing to keep it u p . "

He speaks of his relatives in this city and wishes that he might be with, them, and hopes that the people of New Ulm are not "down" on him, be­cause he is "down."

He says, " I read about the trouble you people had in New Ulm. I knew Dr. Gebhardt personally. May he rest in peace. I would hate to be in that man's shoes that killed h im."

Toward the end of the letter he says, " I t makes me feel good to see sparrows come up to my cell, sometimes early in the morning; it shows that one bird loves another."

The day on which the ' letter ' was written was one of the days when the prisoners were given special privileges and were allowed to talk among them-

The birthday of George Washington was generally observed in this city Wednesday.

Banks, schools and a number of pri­vate offices were closed all day, while patriotism showed itself in the unfurl­ing of flags on most all public places.

Most business places remained open all day, but there was very little trade. Exercises in honor of the day were held Tuesday-in most of the grades at the public schools.

As is the custom at Turner hall, the day was celebrated with a program commemorating the birth of both Washington and Heinzen. The pro­gram of the evening was opened with a piano solo by Miss Maud Hagberg entitled, "Spring Song."

The address on George Washing­ton was delivered by Ben Stockman, who pictured the country's sire first as a citizen and then as a shrewd bus­iness man, taking as an example the great commander-in-chief as a miller.

Arm and Petre delivered a declama­tion entitled, "Auf den Suedmeer." Robert Scherer, with Miss Elsie Koch as accompanist, gave a violin solo. Mrs Lulu Bell recited a German se­lection ' ' George Washington."

Capt. Steinhauser spoke on the life of Carl Heinzen, comparing the Ger­man author and his pen to George Washington and lais sword. '•
