claimed the head of the procession on
account of 81 pound boy.
Mrs. A. E. King did not arrive at her
destination, last week, in time to see
her sister alive. Mrs. Sharer WIS.,
tied in Redwood Falls less than two
years ago, and her estimable traits of
character won the friendship of all
with whom she came in contact.
At the Donnelly picnic last week,
which was largely attended, the only
nomination made was that of A. D.
Stewart, for member of the legislature.
Andrew is better than his party, to
our mind, but his party is not likely
to elect anybody in this county.
1t is plainly to be seen that Redwood
Falls will have to erect more store
buildings in order to meet the dem and
Messrs. Schleuder and Melges recent
ly purchased the Ward store buildings
occupied by Aune & Thune and J. B.
Grady, and yesterday VIM. Crouley
bought Pitts Tenney's building occu-
pied by Louis Goede, and reports that
several applications have already been
made for it.
The following resolution, unani
mously adopted at the Springfield en-
campment, has been forwarded to the

r. c., and S. ", here in camp as

F. ]. Peabody was visited over Sun
day by his son Henry, who is in bust
ness at Suncock, N. H. Mr.. Peabody
had been attached to the New Hamp-
shire delegation at the national con-
vention at Minneapolis, and although
young man, has served his county in
the New Hampshire legislature, and
takes lively interest in politics as
we'll as in commercial pursuits. He
talks in a very encouraging way of Re-
publican prospects in New England,
and says that New England manufac-
lures are making a vigorous growth
under the present national policy.
Thompson & Mead now have their
big building safely anchored on its
new foundation, west of the CONNER
cial House. The old court room, that
was want to resound to the pleas of
eloquent legal lights, the deliberate,
sledge-hammer logic of Judge Web
Der, and to hard-fought scrimmages in
many political conventions, will now
serve a not less useful purpose as re-
pository of wagons and farm machin-
cry; and citizens who erstwhile came
to that historic pile to pay their annu-
al tribute to the support of govern
ment will COW visit it to find out the
latest improvements in farm machinery
and vehicles. Sic transit gloria court
housibus.
Sleepy Eye Dispatch: Rome Car
roll went into Christensen & Frantz's
furniture store Friday and there being
no one in the salesroom he went back
into the trimming room where Mr..
Frantz had been trimming a coffin
which he had left on the horses. Franz
was not there and just for the fun of
the thing Rome laid down in the cof-
fin and waited for something to hap
pen. Pretty soon he heard foot steps
approaching and he kept mighty quiet
until the stranger came softly up to
the coffin and stood there looking at
what he supposed was corpse. Rome
stood the ordeal for a minute or two
and then raised up but the stranger
whoever he was, didn't give him time
to make any explanations7-he just
broke for the door and galloped out
of the store on the dead run evidently
believing he had seen ghost. All he
said was Got II, himnael or something
of the sort without letting up on his
speed.
