D I E D — A t the Union Hotel, New U l m Sunday, Sept. 19, 1886, at 6:45 o'clock p. m., Joseph G. Schneider, aged 20 years, 5 months and 9 days, after an ill­ness of only seven days.

Deceased was the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Schneider, formerly of this city, but now residing at Spring­field. He was in the employ of the editor of the Reviiw for the last^six years, and has been foreman in the Review office for nearly three years. From the day he first entered our employ until the day he set the last line he was ever obe­dient, industrious and painstaking, and his many good qualities|endeared him to all his associates. He was an honored member of Co. Av 3ud Regt. M. N . G., for over two years and held the position of corporal at the time of his death. Although feeling uuwell, he performed some urgent work in the office Sunday, the 12th inst., but the next day he took to his bed which he never left alive. His first ailment was lung fever, but the second day of his illness typhoid fe­ver set in and he grew rapidly worse. Drs. Beiry and Strickler were almost constantly in attendance and everything was done for him that medical skill could suggest and loving and will ing hands perfoim, but all to no avail. His father and mother and oldest sister and brother were with him at the time of his death. In his demise his parents have lost a loving and dutiful son ; the Review one of the best workmen ever employed in the office, and company A an honored and respected member. The bereaved have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community. *

The Democratic Senatorial conven­tion for this district meets in Sleepy Eye next Wednesday. Candidates on the Democratic side of the house are not tumbling over one another for the no­mination of Senator, but we understand that in certain contingencies T. E. Bo-wen of the Herald would not object to have honor thrust upon him. Redwood county may put in a claim for the no­mination, however.

Too Good. The Waseca Herald says a friend

writes to Mr. Child, the prohibition can­didate for governor, as follows :

"I saw in the N e w Ulm Post, a Ger­man paper, a statement that you were go­ing to resign as nominee for Governor, and that a German by the name of Geo. Bickelhaupt, of "Stately, former sheriff of Brown county, would be put on the ticket."

Geo. Bickelhaupt as the prohibition candidate for governor is too good for anything.

Railroad Co. proposes to fit up a per­manent camping ground for the Min­nesota militia, providing it can have as­surance that,it will be used for that pur­pose for a term of—say five years. The railroad company's proposition is thus: They will expend $7,500 in preparing a camp ground which shall be second to none in the country, with first class rifle range,*; will let the militia use it without charge ;will transport the com­panies between Minneapolis and St. Paul and the camp ground, going and returning, free, with individual tieuets at half rate ; provided the state will de­signate it as a state camp ground and use it for that purpose.

He is of the opinion that chloroform" was thrown into his room and then after he was chloroformed they broke the door in.

Yesterday the Clerks Ass'n. had Mr, C. Baltrush arraigned in Justice Court for selling merchandise on Sunday. He was found guilty and fined $3.90.

§ Sec. 229. "Al l manner of public selling or offering tor sale of any pro­perty up an Sunday is prohibited, except that articles of food may be sold and supplied at any time before ten (10) o'­clock in the morning, and except also that meals may ,be sold_to be eaten on the premises wnere sold or served else­where by caterers ; and prepared to­bacco in places other than where spirit­uous or malt liquors or wines are kept or offered tor sale, and fruit, confection­ery, newspapers, drugs, medicines, and surgical appliances may be sold in a quiet ana orderly manner at any time ot the day."

The Democrats meet in delegate con­vention at Sleepy Eye next Tuesday for the purpose of placing in nomination a county ticket. For Auditor, Treasurer and Sherriff the present incumbents will encounter no opposition in the conven­tion and their nomination is a foregone conclusion. Capt. S. A . George seems to be in the lead in tne race for the no­mination of clerk of court, and Andrew J. Eckstein is mentioned in connection with the office of Judge of Probate. Andrew J. Domeier, we .understand, is an aspirant, for Supt. of schools and he will probably be the nominee. W e understand that it is probable that no nomination will be made tor register of deeds. For Representative Oscar Red­ding of the town of Bashaw is actively in the field. Mr. W w . Skinner and Ole Joergenbon are aLo casting about with a view to capturing the nomination.

Jacob Kelly and Michael Kavanaugh came down from Sleepy Eye last Wed­nesday, ostensibly to take a look at the fair, but had hardly struck town when they commenced filling up with booze and were soon "gloriously full". They swaggered around in regular cow-boy style and seemed to be aching for a row. During the afternoon they staggered into the Union Hotel and in boisterous tones demanded dinner. It being long after the dinner hour and the uncanny condition of the.men being noticed they were politely requested to betake them­selves somewhere else. Marshall Win-kelman was finally called in to prevent a disturbance. Kavanaugh laid a self-cocking revolver on the counter and asked the bar keeper whether he wan­ted anything out of that. On being told to put up his revolver and keep quiet, Kavanaugh turned around and drew the revolver on the marshall. The latter struck the point of the weapon down­ward just as Kavanaugh pulled the trigger. The ball just missed the mar-shall and entered the floor. Kelly then attempted to take a hand in'the melee, but a Mr. Schumacher came to the as­sistance of^the marshall and Kelly and Kavanaugh were both arrested and marched to the jail. The next day they were brought before justice Fischer and Kavanaugh was fined $50,00 and costs, and Kelly $1,00 and costs. They paid their fines and departed for home on the first train. There are those who think that justice Fischer would have been justified in imposing heavier fines and it does look a little that way to us.

cr-s* BROWB COUKTT FUR-The Brize Winners.

The last day of the fair—New Clm and Springfield day—did not see such a large attendance as the day previous. This was probably to a great extent due to the threatening weather and to the muddy condition of the roads. A s ve­ry many N e w Ulm people had taken in the show on Tuesday, Sleepy Eye day was the big day of the fair. During Wednesday afternoon Mr. Schuetz delivered an address in the main hall. Mr. Runk, the president of the society also made a few remarks in German. Mr. Juni, the secretary, then read the list of prize winners and the most suc­cessful fair ever held in Brown county had closed. Owing to the drenching rain in the evening the harvest ball was postponed indefinitely. The following is the list of premium awards.

The Republican nominating conven­tion for Brown county will be held at the court house in this city next Satur­day at one o'clock p. m. A full county ticket will probably be nominated, though at the present writing no candi­dates for Auditor, Treasurer and Sheriff have yet materialized. Mr. A F. Wal­ton has been talked of some for Auditor but we do not know that gentleman's wishes in the matter. We presume, however, that he can have the nomina­tion if he wants it. Horatio Werring of Golden Gate is the only candidate for Representative that has been men­tioned in connectiotfwith theRepublican nomination, and he will probably be the nominee. For Register of Deeds, Attorney and Jadge of Probate the pre­sent incumbents appears to have no op­position. Albert Blanchard seems to haye a pretty clear field for renomina-tion, though we have heard it stated that Hans Mo of .Sleepy Eye was casting a longing eye towards Blanchard's seat in the clerk of court's office. For Su-perintendant of schools Mr. Velikanje, the present incumbent, appears to be in the lead. The other candidates for this position are Mr. B. Juni of New Ulm and Mr. L. G. Davis of Sleepy Eye, both good men, but as Mr. Velikanje has had the office only one term, and has given quite general satisfaction, he will probably be renominated. In the minor positions but little importance attaches (so far as emoluments are con­cerned) and the offices generally seek the man. Taking it as a whole the

PERSONAL' MENTION.

Judging from the deep interest paid to educational matters by the publ ic I deem it proper to lay before them a sta­tistical view of the condition of our pub­lic schools during the year which closed July 31. 1886.

Comparing this year's results with those of the preceding, a decided pro­gress in every direction is noticed. The average length of school as well as the average attendance in winter, summer and for the year, show a favorable in­crease. The higher salaries paid to qualified teachers and a marked de­crease in general expenditures led to such results as appear on record.

Number of scholars entitled to ap­portionment : 1885, 3282 ; 1886, 3346.

The Republican Senatorial convention for this district meets at Sleepy Eye next Friday at 2 o'clock p. m. Red­wood county has 5 delegates and Brown county 8. The Redwood delegation is instructed for Mr. C. T. Ward, Mr. L. S. Crandall, of Lamberton, has also come out as a candidate. W e cannot see where the latter's votes are to come from unless it be from Brown County, but it is very questionable whether he can expect much fromjthat diiection. As probable candidates from Brown county are named S. D. Peterson, J. M. Thompson and A. F. Walton, though it is stated in some quarters that Mr. Peterson is not a candidate.

The Republican city caucus last Thursday evening »vas quite largely at­tended, there being quite a spirited con­test between the friends of Mr. Veli­kanje and Mr. Juni. Mr. Jonas Lau-denschlager presided and Mr. Louis Kroock acted as scribe. The first fire­brand thrown into the caucus was a proposition to nominate delegates to the county convention by acclamation. There were many present who favored a ballot, and the original motion [was finally amended and passed in that shape by a vote of 52 to 49. The •cor­rectness of the count was questioned, but after some wrangling was allowed to stand as announced. The ballots for delegates resulted in the ejection of the Velikanje ticket, as fo l lows: H. D . Beussman, Jos . Bobleter, H. Schape-kahm, Geo. Boock, K. H. Helling, Fr. Burg, A. Marden, J . Hoescheler, G. Dittmann. The chair was authorized to appoint a city committee for the en­suing two jears and he announced the fol lowing: C. A Hagberg, H. D. Beuss­man, Geo. Book.
