OIL MILL WATER WORKS SYSTEM.
At the request of a number of
his friends, Supt. Baumgarten
gave an exhibition Friday afternoon
of the ability of hia new water
works system to flood the premis-
es of his oil mill plant, to protect
which, the system was constructed.
The system, which, with the ex-
ception of the sprinkler, is now
completed, consists of a tower 46
feet high upon which is a tank
having a capacity of 10500 gallons
with a pump, which under presure
throws 36000 gallons per minute.
Conveniently located at important
points surrounding the mill are 7
hydrants for each of which there
has been provided 100 feet of 2i
inch hose so arranged that it may
be attached while of that length or
be equally divided and t,wo hose ot
50 feet length each be substituted.
The system, when operated to its
greatest capacity throws a stream
225 feet high and at the rate Of 35
barrels per minute. The system,
when completed, will have cost
approximately, $3000, and will re-
sult in the insurance rate on the
oil mill plant being reduced from
2.55 to 85 per cent., which is a re-
duction of two thirds of the cur-
rent rate. In other words, where
required to pay $600 annual prem-
ium, now Mr. Baumgarten, in the
future, will have only to pay $200,
this, allowing $100 per annum for
repairs to the water works system,
is 10 per cent, interest upon the in-
vestment. We hope the citizens
of Schulenburg will see the moral
of this.
FAYETTEVILLE.
After spending four.weeks at the
capital as a member of the state
board of summer normal examin-
ers and two weeks at home recup-
erating, we win again join your
corps of correspondents.
i
Although the work of the boarki
of examiners was very confining,
being from 8 to 12 in the forenoon
and ftym 2 to 6 in the afternoon,
our st&y in Austin was very pleas-
ant. We visited the house of rep-
resentatives twice durnig our stay,
the first time the day the Legisla-
ture organized and again on the 18
ult. When roll was called Aug.
6, at twelve o'clock—the legisla-
ture always opens to organize pre-
cisely at twelve, noon—our repre-
sentatives, Meitzen and Lane and
page Walter Meiizen, were at their
post duty. Twenty-four represen-
tatives were absent. Most of the
time during our second visit was
taken up discussing -the re-district-
ing bills.
Among those we met who are
wejl known in this county were
Messrs. George Hall, Ike Lane,
Basford and Prof Foster.
Mr. Hall, formerly ofLaGrange,
is assistant sergeant-of-arms in the
house; Mr. Lane, formerly of Fla
tonia, is at the head of the capitol
police; Mr. Basford, also formerly
of Flatonid, holds a clerkship in
the treasurer's department, and
Prof. Foster, formerly of Engle
or Praha, assisted State Supt. A.
Lefevre, during the summer.
We boarded with a Mr. James
Rice Jones, who lived at Round
Top up to twenty years ago. Mr.
Jones' father came to Texas in
1831 and was post-master general
of the Republic of Texas, under
Goy. Smith and Presidents Burnet
and Lamar. He lies burried at
Round Top.
We will now give you some loeal
news.
Mr. Frank Stanzel of your city
and Miss Agnes Stelzig were unit-
ed in the holy bonds of matrimony
by Father Chromcik recently. We
wish the young couple a happy
journey through life.
Mr. Jacob Laferre, Sr., died last
Monday morning and was burried
in the evening. He was seventy-
seven years old. He came to Tex-
as in 1847 and settled in Ross
Prairie. His first wife died soon
after his arrival. In 1849 he was
one of the company of forty-two,
who on May 1, left this c&unty for
the gold fields of California. Three
of the argonauts, Messrs. Helble,
Brendeland Laferre, returned to
this vicinity, the latter being the
last i>ne to die. Mr. Laferre was
married three, times. " All his
iriyes preceded him in death.
rip
Three sons and one daughter, the
issue of his second marriage, sur-
vive him. They are Jacob Laferre,
Jr., and Mrs. Fritz Tiemaun of
Walhalla. and Chas. and Adolph
Leferre of near Rockdale. Thev
were all present at the death of
their father. Mr. Laferre was a
money lender, and living very
economically, left considerable
wealth to his posterity. He was
burried in the cemetery near his
home,'Rev. Pazdral, officiating.
Dr. C. J. Schramm bought out
the drug store and residence of Dr.
J. A. Sauls a few days ago. Dr.
Sauls will quit practicing on the
15 inst. but will probably stay
herewith his family till Jan. 1.

LOUIS SCHLOTTMANN DEAD.
Mr. Louis Schlottmann, who
was born in Germany about
sixty years ago and for many
years a familiar figure on the
streets of Schulenburg, thoroughly
identified with the progress of the
town, ever ready to assist in its

the Baumgarten Oil Mill, with
which he was associated in re-
sponsible capacities, for approxi-
AT.

IN MEMORIAM.
Again the angel of death has
made its appearance among the
fraternity calling hence our es-
teemed and" beloved brother Louis
Schlottmann, a quiet unpreten-
tious citizen and father and
when affliction set in upon them
a center of all the duties, a
willing support of all hardships
which generally are shared by man
and wife,
A highly honored mason, shown
by being placed at the head of his
lodge and refusing honors simply
of good nature and aversion to
publicity.
As a citizen his life lies plain
and open before all. As a mason
none but his brethren can appre-
ciate the loss, and upon his tomb
the words of the great poet should
be inscribed:
"Here lies an honest man,
The Noblest work of God."
And your committee would add;
One of the most conscientious mas-
on's that ever lived and honored
the ranks of our order. The
brethren of Lyons Lodge No. 195
A. F. and A. M. express their
grief upon the departure of their
beloved brother Past Master Lours
Schlottmann in the following res
olutions: Be it
Resolved: That in the demise
of our brother Past Master Louis
Schlottmann this lodge has sus-
tained a severe loss in their mem-
bership. The memory of our zeal-
ous,quiet and unpretending brother
shall forever restjwith us who knew
himbest. Be it further
Resolved: That a suitable copy
of these resolutions, together with
a certificate of his standing as a
mason shall bo delivered to his
family and the sympathy of the
lodge be tendered to them in their
present bereavement and sorrow.
Resolved: That a page of our
records be set aside and devoted to
the memory of our departed brother
Resolved; That a copy of these
resolutions be furnished to the
family of our deceased brother, and
that these resolutions be published
in the Schulenburg Sticker and La
Grange Journal as a tribute of re-
spect to our departed brother.

HERMANN SONS' FEST.
Dr. D. H. Clark of Moravia was
in Schulenburg Tuesday handshak-
ing with friends.
The celebration of the eleventh
anniversary of the Schulenburg
lodge No. 14, O. D. H. S. occurred
Sunday last and was largely at-
tended both by members of this
lodge and by visiting brothers,
while a great many citizens of both
Schulenburg and surrounding terri-
tory enjoyed the attractive pro-
gram that had been arranged for
their entertainment. The com
mittee haying the affair exclusive-
ly in charge was composed of
Messrs. H. Bohlmann, Emil
Schulz, Antone Benikor, H. Arn-
hold and E. J. Wolters, and their
faithful and successful efforts cer-
tainly merited the approbation of
the attendants which was so gen-
erously bestowed. At 9 a. m.
the lodge was called to order in
their room in Sengelmann's Hall
by President Bohlmann, when
pending business was discussed
and disposed of, the session having
concluded its work at 10 a. m.
when the society marched, by
music, provided by the Freyburg
band, to Turner Hull, where re-
freshments and substantial delica-
cies wero everywhere to be had,
an elegant dinner having been fur-
nished by Mrs Joe Kautzsky. Af-
ter the noon repast a series of at-
tractions, arranged for the especial
delight of the children, were pre-
sented, rendering the pleasure
cup of the little ones replete. At
5 p. m. Mr. Emil Schulz introduc-
ed Mr. Joe Berger, who delivered
in German an address of welcome,
in the latter portion of which he
took occasion to review the great
good accomplised by Hermann
Son's Society, which is one of the
most flourshing of Texas fraternal
orders. After supper Prof. Fritz
Schafus, tho celebrated German
comedian, assisted by Miss Probe
and Messrs. John Schumann, Ed.
Pannewitz, John Beniker and H.
Arnhold, gave a theatrical per-
formance, replete with mirth and
spectacular features which conyul-
sed the audience with laughter.
A dance, in which a great many
couples participated, concluded
the days entertainment. The
Freyburg band received many de-
served compliments for the sweet
music discoursed and for their
efforte to contribute to the pre-
eminent success of the occasion.
FIRE COMPANY ORGANIZED.
The meeting for the purpose of
perfecting the organization of a fire
compauy in Schulenburg, was
held at the city hall Friday night
and while not as largely attended
as it would quite probably have
been, had the weather been more
propitious, it was an enthusiastic
assembly and very clearly indicated
that the promoters of the enterprise
were in earnest in their desire to af-
ford the town such protection as
only a first-class fire company cau
provide. The meeting was presid-
ed over by Mr. H. P. Schaefer who
explaioed its object and commented
upon the necessity of something
being accomplished without fur-
delay, Mayor Wolters and City
Clerk Schaefer each addressed the
meeting, offering words of encour-
agement, to those who had been so
persistent in espousing the cause
and assuring them of the city's cor-
dial co-operation,not only in regard
to the organization of the fire com-
pany but also in the establishment
of a system of water works. JNom-
nations were then declared in or-
der with the following results: H.
Eilers, pres,; F. Matula, vice-pres.;
Oscar Roos, Secy.; H. A. Vogel-
sang, treas.; Gus Depmore, chief.;
E. Russek, G. Depmore and Chcar
Roos standing committee. Alder-
man Oltmann and Chief Depmore
were appointed a special commit-
tee with instructions to secure new
members. The proverbial gener-
osity of Mr. Oltmann manifested
itself in his proffer to permit the
firemen to use, without charge,
Turner Hall, in which to give an
entertainment from which a fund
could be accumulated with which
to purchase uniforms. Chief.
Depmore is an old fire veteran, en-
tirely worthy of the honor be-
stowed. Now then let the business
men contribute liberally to the
deserving efforts of our citizens.
Next meeting will be held in City
Hall Tuesday evening September
10th at 8:30.
