We take great pleasure in calling
the attention of our readers to one of
the most daring, if not the most marv-
ellous achievement, that has yet been
accomplished in the publishing world.
We refer to q new and most valuable
publication, entitled "Shepp's Photo
graphs of the World" representing re-
nowned picturesque scenery, historic
castles, views of cities, avenues, build
ings, monuments, copies of celebrated
paintings and artistic statuary, collect
ed from every corner of the world.
1t includes every thing of any in
trest through Great Britain, from the
Blarney Castle to the Giants Causway
in Ireland, and from the Hills of Scot
land to the South Coast of England;
through Europe, from Gibraltar and
Italy in the South to Hammerfest in
Norway-the most northern town in
the woodland to Constantinople and
the Rus; sian Mines in Siberia in the
for East.
Through Africa, from the Suez
Canal, Egypt and the Nile in the East
to Cape Of Good Hope in the South
and life among the natives in the in
terror, West and North; through Asia
and the Orient, from the Holy Land,
Arabia and Persia in the West to India
China, Japan, Australia and the Islam
DIS of the Pacific in the South and
East.
Through the United States, from the
Golden Gate in the West to the Rocky
Coast of New England in the East,
and from the Lake Cities in the North
to the Cotton States in the South,
forming one of the finest, rarest,
wealthiest, most beautiful, interesting
and historic collections of Photographs
ever seen.
The Photographs representing mast
or paintings and works of art, taken
from the French Salon, Louvre, Lux
embourg, Versailles, Dresden, U&zi,
Pitt and Vatican Galleries, are direct
and accurate reproductions of the
famous originals. The value is so
great that the wealth of nations could
not buy them. No collection like
this has ever before been found be-
tween the lids of any book.
Every photograph is carefully ex-
planned in from four to six lines print
ed matter.
The work is issued by the Globe
Bible Publishing Co., of Philadelphia,
Penn, The publishers, who are wide
awake, and know how to meet the
wants of the masses, have placed the
retail prices marvelously low, ranging
from 1925 to 500 according to the
style of binding, giving every one an
opportunity to purchase copy.

the local representative for this com.
munity, and we trust that this an,
nouncement to our many readers may
prepare every one to receive him cor
daily.

The Water supply.

As this subject will be put on the
ballot for the coming city election,
electors will have to decide whether
we are to have water supply or not.
People do not like to have any addi-
ton to their taxes, if they are not to be
profited much by it. That is reason
able. But the possible benefit at least
which good supply of water might
bring US is SO immeasurably great,
that we are reluctant to believe that a
majority will vote against it, if all
aspects of the proposition are under
stood.
Perhaps it needs to be re-ststed,
that a favorable vote on the bond
proposition does not commit the city
to certain policy of. obtaining water
That will have to be decided by the
council afterwards. In regard to tax.
alton, it may not be generally known
that under our city charter the dis
trict directly benefited by water maine
would constitute water district, which
would have to pay one-half the tota
annual interest on the bonds, in add
ton to its pro-rata share according t.
valuation-so that residents in outly
ing parts of the city will have but ,
small portion of the annual interes
assessed against them.

typhoid, if the true source were known

a STROLL Through the Court House.


Our new court house awaits the
placing of furniture and fixtures to
complete the interior. By the courtesy
of Mr. Abbott, the overseer of the con-
struction, we had peep into all the
main rooms yesterday. The first room
on the left, near the west entrance, is
designed for the county auditor, and
is very properly the largest and best
of the Offices, though the quarters for
the register of deeds ares nearly as
spacious. Opening from the Auditor s
Office is room for the county commits
sioners, and next to it on the east is
the county treasurer's Office, the sher-
ifs Office being the last on that side
of the hall next to the west entrance
Opposite the sheriff's office is large
room for clerk of court. The central
Office on the south side of the building
is for the register of deeds, and the
Office for judge OF probate, next tC
the main stairway, completes the first
floor. All these offses have ample
vault room in connection. A broad
and easy fight of winding stairs takes
one to the court room above, which il
by far the finest audience room in the
county. Jury rooms of ample sizt
are also located on this floor. Thu
hard wood floors shine with oil finish
and the wood work is grained. Thu
granting on the doors at the main en-
trance, by Powell, is convincing OK
hibit of skill in that line. Nothin,
but the prospect of the Temporal,
abomination of heating stoves detract
from the pride of all in our new cour
house.

VARIOUS VIEWS.

A Delhi dealer: A warm December
has made trade slower than we looked
for in that month. But with a great
quantity of wheat yet to be marketed,
and with q letting up of farm work,
there ought to be a good business
season after the holidays.
Chas. Fleisher: North Redwood will
have little building boom next sum-
mer. The Lindermanns are going to
erect a large brick block, and will
probably have public hall in the
upper story. Shoemaker Bros. are
also going to build a new store, and
Gosper will erect q large addition to
his store. Plans are being made for
a number OF new residences too, all of
them good buildings.
A south-side stalwart: Don't talk to
me about the good old free-trade days.
I haven't forgotten that as a boy I had
to hunt up two dozen eggs, to trade at
three cents a dozen for one pound of
nails-that many eggs would buyabout
ten pounds now. And what lovely old
paper currency we had then. Why, I
remember father sold lot of hogs
one day and hurried with the money
to the county seat to pay his taxes. but
he wasn't quick enough-his state
bank bills had become worthless rags.
I say, let the tariff and the currency
alone.
Judge Canty, Minneapolis: 1t is
we'll understood that nearly all the men
who amount to anything in this country
are born and raised poor. They have
to be raised poor to get proper train
ing to fit them for the battle of life
This training must be so seveye tn al
it can only be obtained by undergoing
thestruggles and hardships of poverty.
The rich mans son can not get that
kind of training. tits a mistaken ides
that the natural mental caliber of GU,
self made men is always very large
The great majority of them have nat.
urally but little more than average
natural intellect, but in battling with
their hard luck they have acquired
great energy, perseverance and viii
power.

ED. GAZETTE : An article in your
paper refers to a man in the town of
Redwood Falls who sent for q cap for
his boy which cost him $3!O5. ex-
pected to see reply, believing this
statement to be untrue for the follow
ing reason: I sent to the same firm for
cap and had to send it back, but the
cost, including return charges. for
changing the cap, was $3.50. I am
willing to have my cap inspected at
any time. If 1 am the man referred
to in the article, it can be proved that
this statement is not true, but is the
worst kind of liza lie that hurts the
firm and myself, and defrauds the
public. L. F. CHARTER.

Friendly to Corn,

While corn does not rank with wheat
as money-making crop in this coun-
ty, we notice that our best farmers have
a good word for corn, and find it not
only promotes clean culture and big
crops of small grain, but it saves their
hay to a large extent, when fed in COM
bination. VIM. L. Lussenhop, of
Sherman, who fattens two or three car
loads of cattle for market every season,
informs us that he not only finds it
profitable to raise fifty acres or so on
his own farm every year, but that this
year he has been buying from his
neighbors. He finds that ton of hay
which would subsist bis herds only q
few days when fed alone, will last two
or three weeks with small admixture
of grain. Mr.. Lussenhop is one of a
few farmers in this vicinity who make
the feeding of cattle study, and who
consequently find it profitable. He
has two good barns, and in one of
them he saved thirty tons of hay over
from last year, which is as good as
when cut and comes handy when hay
is comparatively scarce and high as
at present.
The VIM Farm has also always
persistently stuck to corn, and has
never failed to get crop,though early
frost one year reduced the value of the
output. Mr.. Vim thinks that with
judicious selection and thorough cul-
tivation, corn is as sure crop in Red
wood county as almost anywhere
Corn planted as late as the middle O.
June matured good crop in Redwood
county this year.
