Hon. F. NJ. Kinter and superintend-

agree on a man-and We trust will nurse
his boomlet while away. Now, we'd
like to whisper that If now man must

night Of his return he'became engaged

named Black Diamond Roach. a
young man named I.etoss attempted to
separate them and was shot by Slavin
in the breast. sIavin then fled, aud

him was shot in the left shoulder.
slavin then broke away, only to be

and fired, the bullet passing through
his body, killing him instantly. Slavin
was captured by the crowd and mar

place on October IL, when he was con-

LONDON, Dec. 1G.-Tho Standards Ber-
lin correspondent says that Herr Loewe
has made this statement as to the Figa-
rO's story, Of his negotiation with the
French government:
France in 1856 was about to pur-
chase her plant for riae-making in
America. We sent in an estimate, but
to our regret tho orders executed were
mostly in America. Had We received
orders Germany would have benefited
by driving out Of France American COM
petition. France is the only country in
Europe where America was able to hold
her own and then 1t was owing to pecu-
liar political circumstances"

PAN HANDLB CONDUCTORS
VIII Withdraw From tho Order SO Save
Their .Johk.


PIrrsBuRou, PA, Dec. 15.-Referring
to the wholesale withdrawal Of Pan
Handle railroad conductors from the
Order of Railway Conductors, veteran
who refused to allow his name to be
used said: ut means just this; belong
to tho order and lose your job, or leave
the order and keep your job. By next
May don't expect to see single con.
ductor on the Pan Handle member OF
the union. The company was afraid to
risk running through next summer
with mon who belonged to the order, SO
they got the drop on us. Igot job
and guess I know how to keep it"
Another conductor said he belonged
to tho order but knew enough to come
in out of the wet when it rains. Other
conductors and railroaders were APP
preached, but they refused to talk, OK
cept to say the move is going on. The
railroad officials have nothing to say.

"GooD BYE, GENTLEMEN"

Tho Last Words of Murdcror slnvln an
Ho Was Launched Into Esornity-His
Crime.
CoRSwA1n, oSr., Dec. lG-Jamos
slavin, alias McNiahon, was hanged
hero this incoming at 7;l5. The execu-
ton was witnessed only by he press,
the medical profession and Il few pri-
yate citizens, about fifty persons in all.
The doomed mans father paid him his
last visit Wednesday. His unfortunate
son bore up wonderfully well during
the conversation, maintaining the same
marked indifference he has shown since
his incarceration. The conversation
between the two was very brief, and
when the broken-hearted parent was
being taken away the condemned man
said: "Good bye, my poor old father"
Slayin sent for several OF hisN old
friends to bid them q last good bye.
During his conversation he frequently
referred to the shooting OF Davey, say
ING, az am sorry shot poor Jack, Had
Ishot Leiess and Lefevre would have
died with good heart. However, l
was worked up to such pitch that had
il been my best friend that tried to ar-
rest me the consequence would have
been tho same"
slavin talked freely during the night
with the guards aud carried on in
boisterous manner He arose about
$50 and partook of light breakfast.
Al 1885 Hangman Radclitf entered the
cell; Slavin made no resistance. His
hands were pinioned and at 7:4O tho
march to tho scatlold was begun. at
7:49 Slavin appeared very weak. When
the moose was placed over his head he
said, "Well, goodbye, gentlemen" The
signal was given and tho unfortunate
mans body bounded from the earth.
Death was instantaneous. The body
was cut down in ton minutes and in.
tered in the court house yard in a
ronuh box. Slavin maintained his Won
derfrl nerve to the last and refused to
see any spiritual adviser,
The crime for which Slavin was
hanged here to-day was tho killing of
Constable ]. R. Davey on September 5
last. Slavin was twenty-four years of
aUe and was a native of this town, his
father being a pensioner OF the British
government, having been through the
Grimean and Chinese wars. Slavin left
nome. in 1856 and worked on the Sud.

rank with Minneapolis and st. Paul, it

say that our business men are wide
awake, energetic, and always alive to
the interests of the city and county.
No other class of men could have made
Redwood Falls what she is to-day land
we are proud of our business and pro-
fessional men. They have made from
a barren spot of prairie beautiful
city of nearly 1000 souls, such as go to
make up the proud state of Minneso-
ia. And still the work is not done, and
each month adds tribute to the we'll
earned laurels of the energetic people
of Redwood Falls. Property in this

made in the purchase of realty as in

found in the county. Surrounded as
our city is by the finest and most fer

here are not ventures. They are as
certain to bring good returns as night
follows the day. We can boast of
some of the finest and best structures
in Southern Minnesota. Men, who
built business houses and residences,
did SO to make permanent investments,
and the result is that we have business
blocks and homes that would reflect
credit on any town OF twice the size of
Redwood Falls. No greater com
mendation on the character of our cit
liens could be given, than that they
take pride in having fine residences,

REDWOOD COUNTY.

1t is not our object in the present
work to dwell upon the thumb-worn
pages of local history SO much as to
make a record of the present stage of
development of the various interests.
Less than 80 years ago these broad roll
ing prairies and extensive forests were
yet untouched by the plowman's tread
or the pioneers axe, but was the home
and hunting ground of the wild abor-
igines. Then there was nothing to in
duce the capitalist to come here to put
up factories, or to raise unknown rich
es from beneath the ground. Up to
1864 this region had prairie grass and
painted warriors to adorn the earth
and fill the heart of the traveller with
dread and fear for the safety of his
scalp. Since that time the progress

city, for here nearly every laborer is
SO imbued with the feeling of self re-
spect and independence that this To-
cality seems to generate, that, with but
few exceptions, he invariably contrives
to own his home. And they are homes
in every sense of the word; an appear
ance of thrift. neatness and comfort
pervades them, while many of them
contain large share of the so-called
luxuries of the world; although when
these assume the form of books, pic
lures, musical instruments, etc., we
are disposed to take an exception to
the term, luxury, and class them
among strictly educational measures,
believing as we do that true education
means the highest cultivation of all the
faculties.
The climate of this locality is un-
surpassed in this country, being suf-
ficiently bracing snd stimulating for
health without producing that tension
of the nervous system SO pernicious to
many constitutions in higher attitudes,
while it is entirely free from the mias-
matte influences of lower districts.
Bright eyes, ruddy cheeks and we'll
developed forms are the distinguish
ing features of the people of this ia
vored spot, while infectious diseases
and conditions of chronic invalidism
are entirely unknown.
The surrounding country is most
beautiful. Long driveways extend
from the city in every direction through
this country, affording much pleasure
to the lover of this delightful mode of
recreation. Many of them extend
through long vistas of sturdy oaks,
dropping elms and shady naples,
which at varying intervals stretch far
away into the country, until they be-
come lost among the picturesque strips
of woodland that thickly dot this Sec
ton of the country. We might in
dulge in q prophetic forecast, and pic
ture Redwood with thousands of in
habitants and the adjacent prairies in
years to come making the entire land
scape glow with the results of benef-
cent prosperity and enterprise Of her
citizens, but our limited space forbids
further comment. We close by say
ing, Redwood, the Queen of Einneso-
ia towns, can not fail to please and
satisfy the most fastidlous OF mortals,
