The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1890-02-06

j. N. Jones is in one of the docu-
ment rooms at Washington, instead of
a committee clerk, as first stated.
A bunch of keys was picked up on
the streets few days ago, and left at
the GAZETTE office to be called for.
The social at Mrs. Chollar's last Fri
day evening attracted large turnout,
and was pleasant affair in all re-
spects.
According to the astronomers, the
Star of Bethlehem will again be visi-
BILE in this year, being its seventh ap-
pearance since the birth of Christ.
J.B. Robinson has block from the
stockade that once surrounded Ander-
sonvile prison, on his desk, which was
sent here by Mr.. Shaver. Thinking
about his final escape from that hole
of Indebtedness is what makes J. B.
such good-natured citizeu.
The wife of J. A. DeForrcst died at
her late home in this village, last Tues
day evening, after brief illness, orig
mating in an attack of the Grip. Mrs.
DeForrest was 60 years of age, and
her death will be sorely felt by her
surviving husband.
j. A. Maxwell, the veteran editor of
Murray county, was married recently
to Miss Belle Bradley, of Minneapo-
lis. "Max" has two papers on his
hands-the Currie Minnesotian and
Fulda Republican-and hence need
ed partner to help him out.
Redwood county was handsomely
advertised by the cattle from the Gil
fillan farm which were marketed at
Chicago last week. Mr.. Tyson says
that out of II, 900 cattle in the Chicago
stock yards on that day, not more
than hundred sold at equal or high
or prices--which is a fair proof of
their superiority. The entire lot of
SO head were bought for export to
foreign markets.
The provision in the will of the late
Alfred Clark, appointing F. w. Phil
brick as his administrator, is consistent
with the reputation of the deceased for
business sagacity. As the estate is a
large one, Mr.. Clark realized that a
man of thorough business qualifications
could best serve the interests of his
heirs as administrator. Coming unex-
pectedly to Mr.. Philbrick, after bust
ness acquaintance with the deceased
for series of years, the trust is rec
ognized as highly complimentary.
A.essrs. Case & Petersen, of Water
vile, were in Redwood Falls last week
investigating with view to building
up q meat market business here
They appeared to be well satisfied
with the prospect for good business
opening, and intend to put up build
ings of their own as soon as the build
ing season open. They will occupy
the Goodrich building on Mill street
temporarily, and expect to open there
as soon as they can fit up their mar
ket.
Aug. sebeck has applied for a pat
ent on an automatic car coupler, which
has tho appearance of very useful
invention, as illustrated by the model
we have seen. There ought to be
some means of compelling railroad
companies to adopt some of the num-
erous inventions that have been made
to supercede the crude affair which
has served the purpose of coupling
cars for half century, at an expense
of thousands of lives, and an incredi-
bic number of MANNED limbs.
At the village council meeting Tues.
day evening, H. Winter was appointed
village marshal, M. B. Albeit police
man, and J. P. OHara street commits
sioner. AS Mr.. Winter was candidate
for shei if on the prohibition ticket last
fall, his appointment indicates dispo
sition to show no favoritism to liquor
drinkers or sellers. Of the other ap
pointees, both have seen service in the
same Offices, and are therefore no
without experience. The Gazette ha:
frequently commended MIR. Ferris fol
his good work on the streets, and hope.
to have occasion to commend his sue
cessor also. Marshal Baker has sur
vived several administrations, and viii
now take UP other pursuits with thu
good wishes of many for his future
prosperity.
