MRS. MAGDALENA BIEBL. Thursday evening at 7 o'clock Mrs.

Magdalena Biebl, nee Sieber, closed her eyes in the silent slumber of death. A fracture of the right hip sustained about four weeks ago together with troubles caused by her advanced age was the cause of her death.

The deceased was born in Kreis Pilsen, Bohemia, Austria on August 13, 1835 thus being nearly eighty-one years of age. In 1858 she was married in her native land to Jos. Biebl, who preceded her in death m 1912. In 1867 the family emigrated to this country, locating in Pennsylvania where they spent seven years. From there they came to Minne­sota and settled on a farm which has since been their home. Twelve children were born to the union, six of them, however, having ^>receeded tbeir mother in death. The names of the surviving six children are: Frank, Joseph and the Misses Mary and Lena Biebl at home; John Biebl of Waseca, and Mrs. Anton Gag, of New Ulm. Funeral services were held from the Congregational church on Saturday afternoon at three o'clock. The remains were laid to rest in the City cemetery.

MRS. JOSEPH FISCHER.

Mrs. Jos. Fischer passed away at her farm home in Stark Township Thursday evening, death being due to a compli­cation of diseases which had confined her to her bed for several months. Mrs. Fischer, nee Mary Bruckbauer, was born the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Bruckbauer, thirty-three years ago. Eleven years ago she was joined in marriage to Jos. Fischer, who with five children mourn her death. Two children have already preceded her in death. The names of the survivors are: Clement, Alfred, Clara, Rose and Elsie. Be­sides these the following five sisters mourn her untimely death: Mrs. An­drew Dauer, Milford; Mrs. Jos. Dietz, Stark; Mrs. Otto Sellner, Albin; Mrs. Jacob Fischer, Stark and Miss Clara Bruckbauer, at home. Deceased was a member of the Christian Mothers Society of Sleepy Eye which society attended the funeral services in a body. The services were held at the Sleepy Eye Catholic Church and interment was made at the Catholic cemetery at that place.

MRS. JOHN BARTZ. Death again visited our community

this week, and at its call Mrs. John Bartz, an old and respected resident of this township, joined the vast majority. De­ceased had been ailing for some time with kidney trouble and succumbed Monday night at 10:30 o'clock after being confined to her bed for about two weeks, aged 75 years, 11 months and 11 days. The deceased, whose maiden name was Fnederike Paape, was born in Sarranzig, Pommern, Germany on August 20,1840 and came to this country in April, 1869. The same spring, on May 4th, she was united in marriage to John Bartz at St. Peter and they have presided m Nicollet township ever since. Six children were born to them, two sons and two daughters having preceded their mother to the great beyond some years ago. She is survived by her husband and two daughters, Mrs. Fred Martins of Klossner and Mrs. Carl Muenchow of this township. She is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. Franz Paape of Truman and Mrs. Franz Stolt who re­sides in North Dakota.

SHOOT AT HUNTER'S REST.

BURG SELLS CIGAR STORE.

Friday of last week a deal was made whereby Max Burg sold out his cigar store located on S. Minnesota Street to Herman J. Lindmeyer. Mr. Lindmeyer has, for the past few years, been con­nected with the Prudential Life Insurance Co. as agent in this city. He however, does not intend to give up the agency but will continue it and have his office in the cigar store. Mr. Lindmeyer formerly was a cigar maker and has thus had considerable experience in this line. He intends to manufacture a few new brand of cigars as soon as his goods arrive and he can secure men to work for him.

The sale does not include the Burg cigar factory and Mr. Burg still retains possession of that.

The hot weather that has been pre­vailing here for some weeks has had its effect on the attendance at the weekly shoot at Hunter's Rest. Last Sunday only five showed up and £or the third time John Hauenstein copped the gold medal with a score of 184 on the king target. If this keeps up much longer Johnny will claim title to the medal and it behooves the others therefore to be on their guard and if necessary import some crack'shots. Contrary to all ex­pectations, "Sepp" Kraus's offensive was Russianized and before he got thru he was contesting Charley Hauenstein's right to the leather medal. Charley was "it" again, however, and the medals remain in the family again. The follow­ing scores were made;

King Point John Hauenstein, Jr. 184 2 O.J.Schneider . 164 11 H.Gebser. 158 10 Jos. Klaus . 157 1 C. Hauenstein 117 1

THRESHIHG REPORTS.

There have been reports of yields along the Northwestern R. R. in Minne­sota which show the grain to be running from 5 to 15 bushels with the average under 10 bushels. No threshing has been done in this immediate vicinity but an Essig report gave similar yields. From Traverse a little better report of 12 to 15 bushels has been received. Wheat in the past week has advanced 10 cents per bushel and Tuesday was selling locally at $1.31. North Dakota crops have been fearfully damaged and grave fears are entertained for the Canadian Northwest crop which is still three weeks from harvest. North Dako­ta will not average more than 25 to 50 per cent of normal. The market given on page 7 of this issue shows the effect on flour prices locally.

The first report of threshing comes from Madelia where oats and rye were threshed on one of the Schalaben farms. Oats were running 45 to 50 bushels per acre of a good quality and rye 25 bushels strong.

NEW HIGH SCHOOL BOARD OR­GANIZES.

Saturday evening the new Board of Education had its first meeting and chose Dr. G. B. Weiser for president for the coming year. Herm. Held was elected secretary and Dr. G. F. Reineke was elected treasurer. Very little business was transacted as the main purpose of the meeting was to elect the officers.

Dr. Weiser has made the following appointments on standing committees: Committee on Supplies and Public affairs, Adolph Meile, Chairman, C. W. A. Krook. Committee on Teachers, Adolph Meile and H. L. Beecher. Com­mittee on Text Books, Dr. G. F. Reineke and H. L. Beecher. These are all the appoinments that have thus far been made.

HEAT PROSTRATIONS NUMEROUS

Reports of death from heat prostration are numerous, there being one for nearly every community in this part of the state. New Prague, Welcome, St. Peter and Mankato each had one or more cases of prostration, ending in death. This shows that the heat wave was the worst experienced in this section for it is seldom that persons suffer in country sections as they do in large cities. An official report from Chicago places the number of prostrations at 1000.

FORD LANDS IN DITCH.

Henry Meyer of Milford had an ex­perience last Saturday which he will not soon forget. While driving along the road to New Ulm he noticed a flock of prairie chickens or ducks and evidently turned his eyes away from the road for a sight at the flock. His car probably noticed this and thought it a good time to try and run itself and ere Mr. Meyer was aware he found himself and his car i n the ditch.

DROWNED IN THE MINNESOTA.

Three young boys of Nicollet County were drowned last week while bathing in the Minnesota River near St. Peter. All three victims were under 16 years of age and lived in Belgrade Township. The youngest, a lad of twelve, had gone into the water first before his companions were undressed. He stepped off into a deep place and his cry of fear brought the other two to his aid. They too stepped off the ledge and the swift current bore them all away. The bodies were all found several miles below the place where the drowning occurred.

BITS OF NEWS HERE AND THERE. - ?i _• - ' , , " M ^ * ^ | \ \ «

Redwood County has turned down the farm bureau project and does not want a county agent pottering around again among her farmers. The County Board recently took action in the matter following the decision given by the voters at the polls when the matter was put up to them.

Springfield and Redwood Falls and St. James are all having their worries about the new depots they have been promised. The Omaha road is appeal­ing to the courts to escape furnishing the building ordered at St. James, Red­wood Falls ccmplains bitterly that she is getting a patched up affair instead of an entirely new one and Springfield begins to wonder what her promises will look like when the Railroad gets around to fulfil them.

From all over the state are reported the delivery of mail order house catal logues. In some places truck load after truck load of catalogues were received at the Post Offices. In New Ulm about ten days ago it was impossible for the carriers to deliver all that came in on the days they were received. The Fairfax Standard reports 20 mail sacks filled with Sears-Roebuck catalogues de­livered in their community. The mail order houses know where the trade lies. And how to go after it.

The Lamberton Star says that the hot weather breeds ill humor and recounts the various scraps that have taken place in one town and another along the line. One of the Springfield papers accuses Sanborn of having had burglars and the Sanford paper comes right back denying the accusation and tells Springfield she should be ashamed of the various brawls that disturbed the peace of the village. A quartet of four bold bad boys living at Walnut Grove started out to clean up a dance at Revere after having secured a supply of the necessary courage at Spring­field. An Arlington man went crazy and killed his wife, all since the stabbing affray at Sleepy Eye.

At the last meeting of the Nicollet County Dairymen's association held at Courtland it was decided to change its name to South Central Minnesota Butter-maker's association. Arrangements were made that the association hold a picnic at Wendelschaefer's resort, Lake Jefferson, on Sunday, Aug. 13. The idea of entering a large creamery butter display at the Nicollet county fair was suggested. The following officers were elected: A. H. Dannheim, president; A. T. Parsons, vice president; A. E. Call, secretary and treasurer.

We hear that Professor William B. Nickerson, of the state university, an ex­perienced archaelogist, who was at Cam­bria two years ago and again last sum­mer, making excavations in the old Indian village, will make the place a visit again this summer. From his obser­vations and deductions Mr. Nickerson thinks that the ancient village, whose re­mains are everywhere in evidence in that locality, must have been a thriving and important Indian town hundred of years ago. He has found many interesting relics there and wants to come again and put in two months searching for articles of interest from those bygone days. The State Historical society pays all expenses of such research work.

SOMEWHAT COOLER?

>/: wmn 'MtfW^ The weather for the past week has

been considerably cooler and the weather­man reports three days in which the temperature failed to reach 90 degrees. The hottest day was on Sunday when the mercury rose to 98. The coolest was Wednesday night when the ther­mometer fell to 64 degrees. The reports are as follows:

Maximum Minimum Aug. 1 79 67 Aug. 2 84 64 Aug. 3 92 69 Aug. 4 93 70 Aug. 5 79 70 Aug. 6 98 v 69

HOG CHOLERA IN NICOLLET.

County Agent Learning of Nicollet reports several cases of hog cholera in Nicollet County and warns against too heavy rations for the animals, particular­ly green corn. No epidemic prevails at present but every precaution should be taken to head it off. Hogs are not at present in the best of condition owing to the long hot spell and should be care­fully watched to prevent their falling victims of the scourge.

LYMAN H. HOWE COMING SOON. Baby Killed a t Madelia.

A five months old baby of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Kunz died as the result of a fall from the foot of the bed where it was sleeping. The child rolled off the mattress which did notxquite reach the end of the bed and an iron rod pressed against its throat preventing it from crying out and resulting in strangulation.

The citizens of New Ulm and vicinity will have the pleasure of seeing some­thing out of the ordinary in the Very near future. Lymann H. Howe's celebrated brated Travel Festival has been booked to show at the Turner Theatre on Wednesday, Aug. 23rd and they promise to show us things that very few people have seen.

CELEBRATION AT THE. FORT.

Tuesday, August 22nd, has been chosen* as the date for the dedication of the new grandstand at Fort Ridgely since this date is also the date for the annual meeting of the Fort Ridgely State Park Association and Reunion of Old Settlers. It is expected that the Governor, his secretary, the state auditor and several other notables will be present, and a program has been arranged on whiehi their names will appear as speakers in addition to the Defenders who will find it possible to attend.

PROVIDE WATER FOR DOGS.,

The Austin Herald contained, thisr "An Austin lady phoned us today, 'Try to say something in The Herald to a-rouse people to the necessity of giving water to their dogs. I try to keep water in my yard for the birds but the dogs of the neighborhood get it all. I t is pitiable how thirsty they are.' "

LIKE WISCONSIN LOCATION

Martin F. Burk and his brother Walter have been at Washburn, Wis­consin, for the past three months with the intention of securing some land. At present they are working for a concern which employs some 2500 people and is located about five miles from town. They are well satisfied with their present situation, wages, etc., but expect to carry out their idea of working their land either in the fal< or next spring. They have 40 acres < f very desirable property located only \ mile west of Washburn which is a thriving little city. A fine view of the bay adds to the at­tractiveness of the surroundings. Wild strawberries grow in profusion and Martin writes of a supper he had of them one day. The land is slightly elevated and has a thick growth of young poplars. The soil is extremely rich and promises wonders of fruit and vegetables and the boys say it has "quite a little on Southern Minnesota." They promise to send New Ulm a carload of their strawberries some day, provided the crop is big enough. •
