The Sleepy Eye Herald is authority
for the announcement that the famous

| litical affiliations will want TO hear
this remarkable orator.
S. w. Hays, an old newspaper man

The run of bad luck for the Andrews
Opera Co. eliminated last Friday in
the frightful railroad accident which
is described on our first page. By the
breaking of rail on the Northern Pa
cific, the car containing the company
was overturned and took FIRE, and Mrs.
Ed. Andrews and her maid were ia
tally burned and other members of the

Quite frequently we hear the ques-
ton raised, Why don't the city coun-
Gil have their proceedings published'
Most OF our neighboring towns of like
size have this done, and in view of the
opening of probably eventful year
for the corporation, we suggest that it
would be good thing for our city
fathers as we'll as their constituents if
their proceedings are made public in
the customary manner.
Tracy Republican: Marshall held
its municipal election on Tuesday OF
this week and there was warm con-
test between the License" and "No
License" tickets. The prohibitionists
rallied nobly polling nearly a hundred
votes. We predict that the next cleo
ton will witness the success of the pro-
hibitionists, and the saloons will be
relegated to the rear. The license
which has been $500, will probably be
placed at 81 900 this year.
While charity should begin at home,
there is no reason why it should end
there. Quite number of contribu-
tons in aid of the Russians have been
received by Mr.. Turrell and the receiv-
ing agents at Morgan, Delhi and North
Redwood, but it is almost time to for
ward these contributions, and it is
very desirable that they should be
greatly increased in the week that re-
mains before closing. Redwood coun-
ty could easily spare carload at least,
and be none the poorer.
Some additional facts concerning
the court house fire at Marshall are
contained in the last News Messenger,
which says that not over 100 people
were aware of the fire until the next
day. The fire bell was about as effect
i've as our own, and members of the
fire company two blocks away did not
hear it. 1t says that builders insist
that the walls must come down to the
foundations, and even these are cracked
in places. Eleven insurance compan-
les will divide the $4,000 loss, none
of them carrying to exceed $1,000
The Reporter asserts that three of the
court house vaults proved to be un-
safe, and that if the records had been
in them the loss would have been in
calculable. The bare suspicion that
any of the vaults in our new court
house are unsafe would bring down a
volume of righteous wrath upon the
