carried on in the primary and gram
mar schools, and covers a period of
eight years. 1t is the purpose here to
afford ample opportunity to all child
rem for thorough knowledge of COM
mon branches foundation work
of an education. The superintendent,
Prof. F. F. Farrar, is native of Min
nesota and was educated at Hamline
University, near St Paul. He has been
connected with the school in our city
for the past two years. He is gen
tleman of broad culture, and has a
blending CT firmness and kindness that
enables him to maintain perfect disci-
pline without resorting to arbitrary
methods. The schools of Redwood
Falls were never in more efficient
condition than they are to-day, and a
spirit of perfect harmony prevails in
every circle, between superintendent,
teachers, instructors and pupils, SUI
perintendent and parents, and the
board of education and the public.
To the professors high ability as an
educator, his admirable tact in dealing
with teachers, pupils and the public
generally, is this excellent condition
largely attributable. The consteIla-
ton of bright young ladies who assist
him in the management of the schools
are deserving of a portion of this cred
it, for it is doubtful if there be gath
cred under one roof in the state corps
of teachers, each one of whom possess
es all the requisites for a successful
teacher, inherent or acquired, to an
equal degree with this cluster of teach
ers, and when one has had but a
glimpse of their beaming countenanc-
es in the midst of their duties, he can
understand why the children of Red
wood Falls love their school and make
such rapid progress in their studies,
1t matters not, however, how emin-
ent an instructor the superintendent
of a school may be, and how efficient
his assistants, if the parties to whom
they are directly responsible are in
different and luke warm in co-opera-
ton with them, the school cannot at
tain high degree of efficiency, and
dissatisfaction will soon arise and
more or less jealousies be engendered
among teachers and children. Without
he hearty cooperation of the board
of education it would have been utter
ly impossible for Prof. Farrar to have
maintained the present nigh degree of
efficiency of the schools.
The members of the board of edu-
cation are gentlemen of the very high
est prominence and influence, who
strain every effort to further and faster
the educational interests of this rising
and Aourishing city. They are as
follows: w. B. King, o. l.. Dornberg,
W. F. Dickinson, Geo. Drake, D. Bis

transacts leading commercial bust
ness and enjoys high degree of con-
fidence amongst shrewd business men.
The conservative sound and legitimate
business methods employed guarantee
that the interests of the stakeholder
and patron are alike protected by the
careful and competent official manag 2
ment. This bank was established in
1874 as private bank by George W.
Braley and was reorganized into a
state bank in 1891, with Mr.. E. A.
Hendrickson as President, G. A. Fran
co.'s vice president, and H. A. Baldwin
cashier. Mr.. Hendrickson is resi-
dent of St. Paul where he is in the real
estate and insurance business. Mr..
Francois is a gentleman too widely
known to need special mention here.
Much of the active management de-
wolves upon the cashier Mr.. Baldwin,
and he is fully equal to all demands
made upon him. He is Minnesota
an by birth having been born and
raised in Redwood Falls. He has been
engaged in this bank for nine years
and is competent and careful bust
ness man.
THE CITIZENS BANK.
1t was shrewd head that devised
the species If exchange which has
been developed into the great bank
ing system of modern times, which
alone is ono of the marvellous evidenc-
e4 OF the wonderful growth and pro-
gres5 attained by this century. A bank
is indispensable to business man,
and an examination of the banking ia
clities of town in which it is desired
to locate is one of the first things de-
handing attention of capitalists. The
above named bank is eminently SAFE
furnishing and reliable institution
which embarks in no questionable ven
lures. 1t does a general banking bus
mess in deposits, loans, collections,ex-
change, receives accounts of banks,
bankers, merchants, manufacturers
and others on the most favorable terms,
and solicits correspondence. It's offic-
ers are w. T. Donaldson, president;
o B. Turrell, cashier; F.W. Philbrick,
vice president; and R. A. Turrell, as
sistant cashier, representing paid up
capital of $4,000. The officers of this
bank are gentlemen in whom we take
pleasure and pride in giving space in
these columns. Mr.. Donaldson of St.
Paul and Mr.. Philbrick are men of high
standing and undoubted integrity and
ability. Mr.. Turrell ably represented
Redwood county in the lower house of

BANK OF REDWOOD FALLS.

BANK OF REDWOOD + ALLo.
The permanent and stability of the
commercial interests of city are sus-
tanned only by her financial conserva-
tors and among the banks of this Sec
ton there are none that are managed
on sounder financial principles than
the Bank of Redwood Falls,which was
established in 1871 and organized as a
state bank in 1891. 1t has capital and
funds sufficient for the demands of
business and to meet any emergency
which may arise in financial affairs. 1t
has won the favor of the public by
spirited yet conservative management.
It's attitude toward the farming and
commercial interests of the community
has been most liberal and at the same
time avoiding giving countenance to
enterprises lacking the elements of
sound business principles. 1t does a
general banking business in deposits,
loans, collections, exchange, etc. Its
popular president, Mr.. w. F. Dickin-
son, is native Of Massachusetts and
came to Minnesota in 1856. He served
with distinction in Co. &c" LIST Mime
sofa Infantry during the war, and has
slowly climbed the ladder of prosperi-
ty and is even now the wide awake and
hustling mayor of our beautiful city.
Mr. OIL. Dornberg is the able cashier
and is assisted by Mr.. G. w. Dickin-
son. The board of directors is com
posed of Messrs. w. F. Dickinson, G.
D. Gilfllan. O. L. Dornbery. j. b.
Robinson, G.. e. Mckay, T. H. King
and E. f. Comstock, whom with th,
officers form a goo1ly array ofbusine IS
talent. This prosperous and growing
institution is most worthy exponent
of the solid city of Re lwood in which
it has it's location.

of this fact we will cite as an example
the establishment of the above named
gentlemen who, commenced business
here two years ago. It has always
been their aim to furnish their patrons
with as good a variety and quality of
meats as can be found in the place.
Hence their shop is general favorite
with housewives. The Peterson Broth
ers make speciality of curing their
own hams which will always be found
first of their kind. Fresh and cured
meats, sausages of all kinds, lard, etc.,
are among his stock and the prices are
all fair and reasonable.

from the manufacturer. He handles
an enormous line of dry goods, fancy
goods and notions and is considered a
leader in every line in which he is con-
nected, and in the several lines
handled which distinguishes it from
the average general merchandise store
are the higher qualities usually not
found outside the metropolitan cities.
A thorough assortment is indicated by
the large stock carried. The premises
are conveniently arranged and five po-
lite clerks are always in attendance.

pl, s that prevail here. Mr.. Philbrick
was born in Wisconsin and established
himself in business here in 1879. His
ii; me is prominently identified with
the country and every public enter
pris that would advance the prosper
ity of Redwood Falls.
G.. w. NIELD & co.
The store occupied by this firm may
be fairly said to be one of the best
filled in the country and is admirably
adapted to showing the goods, which
comprise complete stock of furniture,
bedroom and parlor suits, bureaus,
lounges, sofas, chairs, beds, bedsprings
mattresses, in fact everything found
in first class store. An advantage
which this store offers the public
is that the goods will be found as rep
resented and Notwithstanding the high
character and quality of the goods
the prices will be found to be fixed up
on the most reasonable basis. Besides
the above, is carried in stock collins,
cases and baskets and undertaking.
Their space for the display of their
goods has been too small for their
growing trade and have recently en-
larged their store room, which will
greatly facilitate the display of goods.
Mr.. Nieid has been in the business but
two years having been operating farm
but finding that life too hard for a
man of his advancing years he started
in his present business and has sue
ceeded almost beyond his expecta-
tons. He was born in Indiana and
sought the North Star State in '65,and
was member of Co. ID" 10th Indi-
ana Infantry in which capacity he
served his sountry faithfully and we'll.
MCKAY & RACE.
Among the establishments in Red
wood Falls that deserve favorable
mention is that owned by Messrs. Nc
Kay II Race. The premises occupied
comprise a commodious store 2Ox 80
feet, appropriately fitted up with ey
cry facility. A fine and complete stock
is carried, including everything essen
tial to the grocery trade also foreign
and domestic qucensware, etc. These
gentlemen are prepared to offer their
patrons the very best the market af-
fords at low prices, and as goods are
received direct from leading jobbcrs
and manufacturers in large quantities,
they can afford to offer Inducements
in the way of prices, quality and va
riety of stock that can be duplicated
by few and excelled by none. Mckay
& Race have the confidence of the
people in large degree. Mr.. Mckay
is a gentleman of energy, thrift and
ability. He has built the Masonic
Block and the Odd Fellows Block OF
this city and owns them both. Mr.
Race devotes part of his time to and
is interested in educational matters
having been for three terms and still
is county superintendent. They have
conducted business here for II years
in which timethey seem to have gained
the respect of the community both for
business ability and integrity and our
readers will find their store most ia
vorable one at which to place their Or
ders in the lines mentioned.

&C PECK.
There is no department of trade that
calls for the exercise of SO much care
and discretion as that required of the
druggist, for not only are the cardinal
virtues called for but also an intimate
acquaintance with and knowledge of
the quality and properties of every
drug passing through his hands. The
public has right to demand that this
line of business should be followed on
ly by the most capable and efficient
representatives. Such a one is Mr.. G.
G. Peck, who is registered pharma-
cist and has had sixteen years expert
ence in compromising prescriptions.
He is most competent and painstak-
ing and no one need ever fear pre-
scription of his filling. He has splen-
did store and his stock embraces drugs,
patent medicines, rubber goods, toilet
articles and paints and oils. and keeps
none but the best of everything. Mr..
Peck is ably assisted by Mr.. Ed. Lusch-
er, who is a most competent pharma-
cist, having taken one years course at
the Pharmaceutical College of Illinois
and enjoys the utmost condolences
of the medical fraternity. Mr.. Peck is
a Vermonter, coming to Minnesota in
1862. He has ever sustained asrepu
tation for honorable and reliable bust
ness dealings with the trading public
and enjoys the confidence and patron

The dealer in general merchandise
must be man of marked ability to
attain anything like success, as it is
probably the most difficult branch of
enterprise to carry on. Mr.. Philbrick
has, however, demonstrated during
the ID years of business that he is
thoroughly capable of presiding ov-
er such an establishment. His store

WATER WORKS.

Pure water and plenty of it, is
priceless boon to a town. The people
of Redwood Falls are exceptionally
blessed in this particular feature, as
they can boast of an abundance of the
purest of spring water which affords
enough water to supply a city several
times the size of Redwood Falls. The
system of water works now under
construction will be such as to af-
ford ample fire protection to all the
main parts of the city, no less than IS
hydrants being included in the plant.
| The tower will afford As pounds pres
sure at the hydrants, and supply four
effective fire streams through 2! inch
hose. The works are also connected
directly with the Redwood river and a
pressure of Is pounds per square inch
can be maintained in case of emer-
gency. The reservoir is to be situated
near the engine house, and of ample
capacity. The engine to be used is a
Gordon pump, with capacity of
100000 gallons in "a hours. The
water can be pumped directly into the
mains in case of fire. Ordinarily for
domestic use it will be forced into a
tank with a capacity of 10000 gallons
and situated on a tower 81 feet in
height to bottom of tank, which is
1S feet high and 30 feet in diameter.
REDWOOD FALLS BRASS BAND.
1t has frequently been said that
Americans are not lovers of music, that
they are too busy in their pursuit of
the almighty dollar to pay attention to
a proper development of either music
or art. Be that as it may in other
parts of the country, it will not hold
good in this city. The dealers in mu-
steal instruments will say that their
patronage is satisfactory one. In
most every homo in Redwood Falls
will be found either handsome pianos
and organs, while the attendance upon
concerts given in this city show that
Redwood Falls citizens are not only
liberal patrons of music but competent
critics as we'll. One of the musical or
CARNATIONS of which this city is par
donably proud, and justly SO, is the
Redwood Falls Brass Band which was
organized only last fall, but plays sur
prisingly we'll. The band is composed
entirely of town boys from the leading
families and are a gentlemanly lot of
young fellows. They are under the

competent leadership of Mr.. A. H.
Fish, whose skill and management has
brought them to a high state of excel
lence, considering the short time of
their existence. They haye taken part
in numerous gatherings in this city
and vicinity and have always met with
meritorious mention by the local press.
They are all competent musicians and
are bound soon to become known in
circles outside this neighborhood. The
band has great promise and the citi-
zens are not to be blamed for regard
ing it 80 highly.
