Going Ahead With The Court House.
As will be seen by reading the pro-
ceedings of the county commissioners
in this issue, the board, by vote of
three to two, resolved to proceed at
once with the erection of the court
house according to the plans previous
ly adopted, and advertisements have
been inserted in the city papers call
ing for bids on the work, to be consid-
cred on the 10th of June next. The Pc
titions presented to the commissioners
we're considerably more than two to
one in favor of the course taken by the
commissioners, the opposition being
almost wholly in the districts repre-
sented by Messrs. Leavitt and Schan-
dera, who were doubtless Influenced
largely by that fact. It would not be
profitable to argue the pros and cons
of the respective interests after the de-
cision has been made, but it must be
apparent that local interest largely in
fuenced all concerned, A year or two
hence, and whatever harsh feelings
have been engendered by conflicting
interests will disappear, and all citi-
zens will take pride in having a court
house worthy of the county, and Won
der how they got along with the old
building as long as they did.

Scientific American: Cut worms are
the caterpillars Of night-fying moths.
Most of them are very injurious to
young and tender plants, such as cab
bage, tomato, peppeas, corn, beans,
etc. They only work at night, and
during the day remain hidden just un-
der the surface of the ground in the
immediate vicinity of their food plants
or pastures. Many of the species climb
trees, and often become very destruct-
i've to the expanding buds and young
foliage. The moths of the species that
infest our gardens usually lay their
eggs near the roots of perennial plants,
such as rhubarb, hollyhock, etc., and
in the vicinity of such plants we may
confidently expect to find plenty of
young cut worms in spring. One of the
easiest ways to get rid of the pest, says
correspondent in Popular Gardening,
is to scatter pieces of green stuff, cab
bage leaves, or sods with fresh grass,
etc., that have been sprinkled with
Paris Green water, here and there ov-
or the area that we wish to clear of cut
worms. Hand picking is a more Ia
borious remedy, but it can be made
effective. Plow the field, a few weeks
before the intended crop is to be plant
ed, and SOW some beans over the piece.
After the beans are up, the patch
should be gone over early every morn
ing, and the cut worms hunted up
near the freshly cut plants, and de-
stroyed. If this is done for week or
80, there will be few worms left to
trouble the crop to be planted after
ward.

A Premature Explosion.

While Fred Deike was preparing q
blast to remove large rock on his
farm in Sheridan, assisted by his hired
man, the powder exploded premature
ly, and narrowly missed killing both
operators. Deike was in the act of
tamping the charge with crowbar
when the explosion occurred, and the
iron bar mutilated the fingers of his
left hand, while a flying fragment
made his face look as though he had
got the worst of it in a row. His help
or was blown nearly rod away, and
when picked up was found quite badly
powder burned about the eyes. DR..
Gibson dressed the injuries, and is
hopeful that both the victims will pull
through, though Deike will lose parts
of the first and second fingers of the
injured hand, and was cut to the scalp
in the forehead.
To Test The City Well.
Water stands within thirty-five feet
of the surface in the test we'll sunk by
order of the council, and it is hoped
that test with a pump this week will
demonstrate that the supply will prove
ample for the purpose wanted, when
fully developed. People have been
more or less clamorous for water for
fire protection for several years past,
and they should not grumble at the
cost if the council demonstrates that a
supply of pure water for all purposes
can be secured whenever the tax-pay-
ers SO elect, without expanding large
sums of money for the temporary and
makeshift expedients resorted to by
small villages. St. Peter, New Ulm,
Pipestone, Lu Verne, Sleepy Eye,
Tracy, Litchfeld, and scores of pro-
gressive towns but little larger than
Redwood Falls have voted large sums
of money for water supply, and sooner
or later Redwood Falls must move in
the same direction, or get distanced by
competing cities.

pense, public property:
Geo. Hughes, of that sprightly re-
publican journal, the Redwood Reveil-
le, was married, at Marshall, Thursday
evening last, to Miss Matte Maxson.
The Dispatch congratulates Mr..
Hughes and extends good wishes for a
whole life time. We learn incidental
ly that Bro. Hughes neglected to &C.
cure little document from the clerk
of court until the company were as
sembled when he discovered his ne
glect and hastily sought out that Of
fetal and secured the license. The
fact that George was ratified is due
probably to the fact that he had re-
moved from Lyon county some months
ago and had forgotten how they did
business up there.
A fair attendance of Republicans
gathered at the league meeting last
Saturday evening, and after electing
Geo. B. Hughes secretary, proceeded
to discuss plans for the future. A
proposition to hold a monthly series
OF meetings for the discussion of po-
itical topics prevailed by large ma
jority. President Lankerd, F. w.
Philbrick and F. L. Warner were ap-
pointed committee to secure speak
ers for the meetings. The first meet
ing of the series will be held Friday
evening, June 9Th, when the silver
question will be taken up, with short
speeches by number of local takers,
the design being to bring out facts
bearing on the subject with view to
educating all who take part in or at
tend the meetings. The object is GER
tainly a commendable one, and ought
to attract good ATTENDANCE.
