and all day long the steamer lay at the
mercy of the waves in a terrible storm,

The crew had been unable to extinquish

The Concert Monday Evening.

Without any considerable advertising
or flourish OF trumpets, very good audi
ence, both lis to numbers and character,
was attracted by the musical event of the
year in Redwood last Monday evening
Owing to the absence of Miss Bixby. who
had not yet returned from Mankato, few
changes were made in the programme as
published last week. As these introduced
two or three fresh voices which had no;
been heard in public before, Chose of the
Misses Belt. Cruthers and Fargo there was
less occasion for disappointment on the
part of the audience than would have ex-
isted otherwise. The more familiar vol
ces of Mrs. Philbrick and Mcssrs Peabody
and Wilson fully sustained the good
opinion which mlsic-lovers Of Redwood
have always entertained for them, while
Miss Loomis, who has too rarely sung in
public since her arrival, had al opOrtun-

the audience which she fully improved

StraWs.

While the prospect for securing the
building of the Minneapolis & st Louis
Railroad to Redwood Falls has all along
been hopeful. there has been II disposition
to await final decis on by the managers
of the road before canvaSsing the mutter
in the public prints. Recent action has
considerably strengthened tbc confidence
of our people in the enterprise. The en-
gincers are known to nc surveying a
route to cross tho Minnesota few miles
east of Redwood, which is believed to be
more practicable than others proposed,
and men high in authority have expressed
desire to make Redwood Falls point
on the line when built. The editor of tho
Bird Island Post had an interview last
week with Mr.. Everts, one of the locat
ing engineers who has been running the
line through Sibley county. and reports
that lit was his opinion that the road
would not go to Beaver Falls, but would
cross the river several miles south and run
up to Redwood Fails, the route being
more favorable. No dcscision has been
made yet, however, as to the route to be
taken in this county. but We hope his
opinion is incorrect"
! Our merchants here would undoubtedly
accept with cheerful resignation the de-
termination Of the railroad authorities to
build their line south oi Beaver

The Ued;cHtiN;,.

Last Sunday was a memorable day in
wood Falls. \ hateful church debt, that
has been like Il thorn in the flesh or an
aching tooth to both pastor and people
for manya day, WAS forever wiped out.
Though it cost some self denial and posi-
bly, some wry faces, the operation seems
to have afforded great relief. s.r
We are sorry that we have not space
this week to give full rcpor, of the pro
ccedings, aud of the eloquent sermons of
Bishop Foss, but that we must contine
ourselves to results merely.
After the morning sermon. the Bishop
announced that besides the 81, 900 which
was to be paid at the calling of the ''long
roll, there was also Il debt of $2iO upon
which the society was paying interest and
able to provide before the church was
dedicated. This amount was all pledged
before the congregation dispersed, the
subscriptions to become due the first Of
next November. In the evening. after
the usual opening services, the long
roll" was called and responded to prompt
ly in person Or by substitute, with but
few exceptions, where the pledge was rc>
deemed by others present. In addition
to this, $i65 was subscribed toward the
payment of the pastors salary, which
was somewhat in arrears. Surely u good
days work. at 50 duh season, to secure
81 .4O5 for the relief of single church
and congregation. 1t ought TO be record

FOR GOVERNOR.

The question, who shall be the
Republican candidate for Governor
the coming election, is beginning to
receive consideration, aud some of
the papers are making known the
preferences of their respective local
tiles. Several gentleman, of more
or less worth, are known to be will
ing to make the necessary personal
sacrifice and accept q place at the
head of the ticket. 1t is doubtless
true that any one of them would
crcditably discharge the duties Of that
higlr office, but it is equally true that
some, by reason of natural endow-
mcnts and acquaintance with public
affairs, are much better qualified to
do SO than others. The present in
dications are that public sentiment is
icrystalixing in favor of Mr.. a. K.
Magill, State Insurance Commission

Mr.. Magill's nomination it will be
fortunate thing for the party ana -
more Fortunate one for the people

ccu.ive ability of the highest order.
ITO those of our citizens who depend
