The Redwood Junior club will play
ball at Marshall on the 18th, and the
Swan Lake club is also advertised for
that celebration. The oratorical -four
ishes will be supplied by the only re-
doubtable Ignatius Donnelly.
History again repeated itself yester-
day. That same old prize package
racket and the bewhiskered shell game
came with the circus, and justified the
old proverb about certain people and
their money. Several hundred dollars
were harvested by the swindlers.
Sheriff Mead's building on Mill
street has been lowered to grade and
ceiled inside, in good shape for his
machinery trade. Case & Petersen are
also about ready to descend to the
level of the sidewalk, although prog
ress in that direction has been delayed
by unfavorable weather.

ular head rustler of the firm of J. A.

Attorney Carleton, of Cross, Garlic
ton & Cross, Minneapolis, was in Red
wood Falls Tuesday on legal business
After coming from the heat of the
census controversy at the cities, we
are surprised that Mr.. Carleton didn't
appear to be chilly here, although the
mercury was somewhere in the nine
ties.
The financial statement of the Chi
cago and Northwestern Railway, made
at their last meeting, shows an increase
of $76,O5l in the surplus earnings Of
the road, after paying 7 per cent on
the preferred and 6 per cent on the
common stock. The old board of of,
ficers were reelected. The war of rates
which has prevailed during the spring
does not seem to have effected the in
come, the increased travel largely
counterbalancing the loss on each fare
New Ulm Review: Some fool of a
stranger came to town last Sunday
hai1ing from Lake Benton. He claimed
to be detective, who wanted to see
the murderer Holden, and demanded
entrance to the Jail. When this was
refused, he made an attempt to over
power the deputy sheriff, but ere long
found that he had tackled the wrong
man. The sheriff got the best of him
and locked him in a cell over night tc
give him an opportunity to sober up
When morning came he had forgotten
all about the detective racket.
The "Haymakers" were greeted with
large audiences at both appearances
last week, notwithstanding unfavorable
weather. The different parts were well
taken as a rule, and were rewarded
with sufficient applause to show that
the people appreciated the labor and
talent expended in the performances
An extra measure of applause was Civ
en- the serenade duet of William and
Mary by Dewitt Martin and Miss
Nettie Houck, to the dairy maid Of
Miss Grace Darling, and the Snipkins
of J. E. George. Geo. brakes big dog
also made a decided hit, and in re-
Spouse to encores favored the audience
with several solos in the last act. Se
far as the cantata itself is concerned
it appears to have been something o.
a disappointment to some who heard
