1t wasn't the first of April, but
number of people who expected to
hear Elder Lhamon last Sunday even
ing, instead of Evangelist Lane, were
reminded of the near approach of
April. A mistake that will get people
out to church to hear a missionary ser
mon is not very serious blunder, af-
ter all.
Tracy Trumpet: The leading trot-
ting horse of Redwood Falls was sold
last week to Gary man for $11O. A
horse that is unable to violate ordin

much higher price than the Redwood
horse did.

licenses in thissscounty was broken a
few days ago, by John Wichmann and

break the spell of over 60 days "innoc-
uous disuetude" in the matrimonial
line.
Mrs. Matthews, the aged mother of
Mrs. H. D. Everett, was found dead in
her room at tho Exchange hotel last
Friday afternoon. Mrs. Matthews was
past "a years of age, and had been
rapidly failing for several months
past. Her death was apparently
caused by the failure of the vital Or
gans incident to old age, and was evil
IDENTIFY peaceful and painless, as she
was visited by her granddaughter half
an hour before her death was known,
and gave no hint of the near approach
of death at that time. The funeral
was held on Saturday.
