OF LOC.aL INTEREST.
Landlord Saulspaugh, of Mankato's
famous hotel, was in town yesterday.
Green apples are coming in by the
car load this week. They will retail at
from S2.75 to 3.25.
1t was only baby girl, but c. w.
George thinks it will test away up
above grade just the same.
The steam filters are nearly through
with their job of putting in the big
boiler and steam plant for the Francois
block.
Don't forget the debate between
Messrs. Lankerd and Stewart to-mor-
row evening, at Huntington hall.
Ladies' are invited.
Quite delegation of furniture men
were on hand at the meeting of the
commissioners this week, to bid on
furnishing the new court house.
DR.. Leffingwell, dentist, now occu-
pies the DR.. Morton house on Mill
street, and will be here until Oct. 9Th,
before starting on another dental trip.
Prof. Marshall, of the Northwestern
Christian College, will supply the pull
pit at the Christian church, next Sun
day morning and evening. The pro-
fessor comes highly recommended as
a thinker and speaker.
President Upton, of the college at
Excelsior, who has occupied the pulpit
at the Christian church the past two
Sundays, declared while here that
Redwood stores were far better than
he expected to find in town of this
size.
Mrs. j. S. G. Homer was visited
with stroke of paralysis last Satur-
day night, which for time threatened
distressing consequences. Later, how
ever, her friends were gratified to hear
that she was in a fair way to entirely
recover.
Again the popular demand for wa
ter works is being considered by the
council, and we hope very soon to be
able to announce their plans in detail.
With its present prospects, the city
cannot afford to longer sit still in re-
gard to water supply.
Frank Kenney was on hand yester-
day, to receive congratulations as a
grandfather. The infant has no other
name but Case as yet and arrived
Tuesday. If he attains his majority
and doesn't vote the Republican tick
ct, the old man will mop the ground
with him.
Our hotels will soon have to put up
the sign STANDING Room Only" if the
stream of incoming travellers does not
let up. From the cheap boarding
houses up, every place which offers
shelter and provisions is doing an I'M
precedented business. Redwood Falls
is getting the crowd this fall.
On Thursday next (Nov. 5th) the
Rt Rev. H. B. Whipple, bishop of the
Diocese, will consecrate the chapel, ad-
minister confirmation and preach at
Beaver Falls at 10 a. m. At 4 p. m.
of the same day he will preach at St.
Cornelius church, Birch Cooley. A
cordial invitation is given to attend
these services.
The people of Arlington want MIG.
Foley, the brick maker, to start a yard
there. Mr.. Foley has found bed of
good clay for brick adjoining the town,
and has made liberal offer for the
land with view of filling the demand
for his brick there without having to
ship it from here. He estimates that
Arlington will use nearly million of
brick next season.
The Waseca Herald sounds timely
warning against running in debt.
There is such thing as going too
deep even in buying land, and it is
just as we'll to bear in mind that while
1892 may be just as fruitful as this
season, it will not be safe to gamble
on such conjunction of good crops
and prices as we have enjoyed in 81.
The injunction, Ego slow" is in order.
Good ought to come out of the agi-
tation of the question of capital pun
ishment started by the recent execu-
tons here and at Fergus Falls. While
the sentiment is divided on that ques-
ton of itself, there appears to be sub
stantial unanimity in the expressions
published as to the need of amending
our laws in regard to capital crimes.
The plan in force in New York and
other states, making the penitentiary
the place of execution for all offenders,
ought to be adopted if capital punish
ment is continued.
There never was 80 much confidence
in the rapid growth of Redwood Falls
as now. The sale of the Worden prop
erty at nearly $1,000 each for three
lots has set on foot other transfers
and building enterprises which will be
reported later on. Plans for improv-
ing the Worden property have not
fully matured as yet, but as the own
ers purchased with a view to erecting
new buildings ultimately, it is prob
able that work will be inaugurated on
