Too Previous.

The announcement in Tuesday S
Pioneer Press, that Senator Davis had
recommended Capt. w. P. Huntington
for Indian agent at White Earth, in
place of Maj. Shuler, to be removed,
was almost as much of surprise to
Capt. D. as it was to other Redwood
Falls people. That gentleman was
interviewed in regard to the matter,
and admitted that he received tele-
gram last week asking him to file his
application for the place, but said that
it did not take him fifteen minutes to
decide that he did not want it, al
though he naturally felt grateful to
Senator Davis for the latter's good in
tentions in the premises. Capt. D.
wired back to Washington that he
had answered the request by mail. He
had no thought that hasty action
would be taken before his letter de-
clining the honor had reached Senator
Davis. He says that the salary of
$1,000 attached to the post is no in
ducement for him to take his family
among the Indians, a hundred miles
or so from railroad. away from all
the social and educational advantages
of civilization. He could do better
here financially as we'll as in other re-
SpectS.

Summer AnticipatiOns

Though it has rained pretty hard
for two days this week it is anticipat-
ed that the sun will yet shine. Nay,
without these rainy days we could not
expect the cold of spring to take its
departure. As we bid farewell to APP
ril and welcome May, we look for the
bright Minnesota sky, and the healthy
Minnesota balmy breezes, which will
bring forward the crops and make
glad generally the heart of man.
For our summer evenings this year
we have anticipations which are most
pleasant to ponder. We have band
of our own, "our very own" band
which can play sweet music, to charm
the ear and give poetry to the life. 1t
is understood that the boys have ex-
pressed themselves as willing to play
two evenings in the week, and throw
in special evening besides if a spe-
cial occasion should arise. But We
cannot let them stand around the
street corners all summer while they
do the entertaining for us. They have
spent too much money and time all
winter to he overlooked now. A "Band
Stand" they require, and it will speed
lily be got when it is once set about, for
everybody wishes to help in it. But a
prior question arises; where is the
land stand to be placed9 Five places
have been suggested. First, spot
near the Falls; second, some place be-
hind Jos. Tyson's overlooking the riv-
or, where it is expected there is to he
a god deal of boating this summer.
TIL re is feeling about both of those
places however, that they are too far
away except for the few who have
II 'nty of time on their hands. Third,
the ground opposite the Commercial
Lotel belonging to the old NJ. E. par
sonage. That would suit the business
people best, though it is doubtful if it
would suit the spry horses. Fourth,
the site of the old court house, which
though not very romantic spot in it.
self, would get the romance thrown
into it by the strains of the band.
Fifth, the enclosed square east of the
Presbyterian church. This ground it
is believed can be got, and has the adj
vantage of being central, and we'll
shaded with trees. If the citizens talk
it up for few days, and come to de-
cision as to where it would suit best
the greatest number of people, the
boys have before now shown them
selves heartily willing always to make
themselves agreeable, SO that we know
they would consent to fall in with the
popular wish. With the anticipations
of summer in the near future we hope,
before many weeks go round, to see
our anticipated band stand with our
own band seated thereon, an accomp-
1iSha1 fact

Good for Mr.. Stewart,

FARMERS OF REDWOOD COUNTY, Mr.
W. H. Moves, of Owatonna, called on
me one day last week to find out what
were the prospects of starting cheese
factory in Redwood Falls. He would
set up a cheese and cream separator
and pay monthly IS cents per 100
pounds in summer and 81 per hundred
pounds in winter. Mr.. Moves has been
in the dairy business Is years and
comes we'll recommended.
Farmers, think this a good Offer
and | am satisfied that we can make
the dairy business a success, if we will
make an effort.
Last summer | sent my milk to the
North Redwood cheese factory and
know there is more money and less la
Dor in it than in making butter.
We are depending too much on our
wheat crop. If we should have fail
ure in wheat as we did the years 1872
70, we would be much poorer than we
were at that time, for stock was bet
ter price then.
would not advise the farmers to
stop raising wheat, but in proportion
to the amount of wheat planted use
the land for other grains for the dairy
production.
If farmer owns 100 acres of land,
20 acres should be used for corn, 80
for oats, 20 for pasture and GO for
wheat. The remainder for fodder in
summer when the grass is poor.
If we wish to engage in the cheese
business, Mr.. Noyes has agreed to
meet with us and show how we can
make it profitable. l hope you will
all think about this matter.

A Watch with u History.

Most of the friends of Rev. John
Sinclair have seen and admired the
handsome gold watch which he car
ries, which bears the following in
scription, beautifully engraved inside
the case:
"Presented to the Rev. John Sinclair,
together with 100 sovereigns, by men,
bers of his congregation and friends
on the occasion of his leaving Bowden,
in token of their love and esteem
Bowden, Sd April, $780,
The following account of the origin
al presentation Of the watch, which is
copied from the Southern Reporter, of
Solkirk, Scotland, dated April 10, 1890,
will be interest at this time:
On the occasion of the departure of
the Rev. John Sinclair, minister of the
Free Church, from Bowden, number
of the congregation and friends re-
solved to make a presentation to him
as an evidence of their esteem. Ac-
cordingly on Thursday evening a COM
pany representative of the contributors
assembled at the Free Church Manse,
when in their name Mr.. John Boyd, jr.,
Maxpoffle, presented Mr.. Sinclair with
check for f1OO, a gold watch and
chain, and an Illuminated address in
the following terms: "Rev. John Sin
clair, We desire on the occasion of
your leaving Bowden publicly to make
known the friendly esteem in which
we have long held you. The labors of
your eleven years passionate in Bowden,
the diligence and zeal Of your Chris
tan service,and your loving discharge,
at all times and in all places, of tie
duties of the holy ministry, have en-
deared you to those of us whose priv
lege it has been to worship God as
members of your congregation; while
by those of us who in wider world
have enjoyed your friendship, you will
ever be thought of as one constant in
kindness, firm in affection, and always
wearing as a crown of many virtues
"the ornament of meek and quiet
spirit"
With such credentials, after eleven
years of pastoral work in one church
the members of Mr.. Sinclair's congre-
cation have the assurance that their
new pastor possesses those qualities
which wear we'll, as we'll as attract ur-
on shorter acquaintance.

North Western Railway Grievances.

Northwestern Railway Grievances.
There has recently been existing
considerable amount of smothered
wrath in the town about the North
western railroad arrangements.
The Redwood Falls people give to
that line nearly all the freight that
comes in, and they are in turn but
shabbily treated at the hands of the
directors. Sleepy Eye does nothing
to support the Redwood branch, yet
the crew of the train must stop all
night there, and consequently must
have their homes there. But that is
only small part of the grievance.
The Inconvenience of getting to and
from St. Paul by the Northwestern
line is the big element. The company
surely do not need to be told that it is
neglecting its own interests, to the en-
richment of the St. Louis & Minneap-
oils line, the trains of which lun at
more convenient hours, and do the St.
Paul journey in far less time. Yes
terday only, from one of the hotels
alone, five business men went by bus
to the st. Louis train and none to the
Northwestern, and that is specimen
no singular occurrence. What Red
wood Falls wants, and what the North
western directors will have to give it,
unless they are prepared to lose its
freight as well as its passenger traffic,
is, that the train be located here over
night, start at 5 o'clock in the morn
ing for New Ulm and get the connec-
ton for St. Paul there, to bring pas
sengers to the city early in the fore
noon. 1t is quite possible so to ar
range it, that there could be an hour
or so to come and go on in St. Paul
and get back here again the same day
at o'clock. When the petition fol-
this is handed around it will be signed
by every man and woman in the town.
and it cannot go round too soon.

Installation of Rev. j. Sinclair.

The installation services of Rev. j.
Sinclair in the Presbyterian church
here on Friday last we're pleasant and
instructive in their character, and were
evidently enjoyed by full house.
Each of the ministers did their part in
the most appropriate way, conveying
much sound advice, of practical
kind, to minister and people. The
church was again neatly decorated,
the flowers this time being differently
arranged from the way in which they
were at Easter.
The newly installed minister came
to this country about two years ago,
chiefly for his health. He had suffered
for years from middle ear disease, and
was advised by London aural experts
to rest for time and take change Of
climate. His friend, Mr.. D. j. Mckay,
of Island Lake, Lyon Co., was in the
old country at the time, and advised
him to try Minnesota, and be his guest
for viii g. After travelling for some
months in the eastern States and Can
ada, he reached Island Lake as har-
vest was beginning, and mounted the
Deering binder the second day he W; s
there. Ten hours day of farm work
with Minnesota air for three months,
were he says, the best drugs he ever
got. At the end of that time his deaf
ness, giddiness and pain were gone and
they have troubled him no more.
During his stay at Island Lake he
added to his manual labor the work
of doing Sunday duty in the district
school, with the outcome now of a
definitely formed congregation, in the
organization of which, as regular
charge, he has been appointed by the
Presbytery to assist on the 18th Of
next month.
In November of that same year the
'Indian War" broke out in S. Dakota
and he satisfied his craving for seeing
the "Noble Red Man" on the war path
by going straight into the midst Of
the melee. While the "rising" lasted
he remained at Pine Ridge, studied
the habits of the Indians, and CON-
municated the results to English and
American newspapers.
While sojourning in Dakota Mr..
Sinclair was asked to take charge of
the vacant congregation of the Pres
byterian. church in Huron, and re-
NAMED with thom for four months
till they got minister. There he be-
gan an extended trip of $4,000 miles
down to the West coast, round from
British Columbia to New Orleans, and
back to Minnesota by way of Chicago.
During this time he sent sketches of
his travels to the News Messenger" of
Marshall, and to some or the nome pa
pers, and had accomplished at the
close of the journey what few Amer
leans can boast Of. With the excep-
ton of one or two states, he had tray
elled in every state in the union.
On the strength of a sermon preached
at the meeting of Presbytery held here
in April last, he was invited to return,
and having fulfilled six months term
with the Presbyterian congregation,
has been unanimously called as per-
manent pastor and is now settled down
in our midst with the prospect of max
ing Northwestern America his home
He has intimated that he means to
take out his papers for naturalization
Immediately.

Indian Fires.

Parties in from the Sulphur Spring valley to-day report that they had seen fires on the top of Fleming's Peak in the Swisshelm mountains. This peak is described as . prominent and one of the loftiest ones in those mountains, and on the top of which is a flat table land of about 20 or 90 acres and the only place in the noun tains where there is any grass, which is plentiful there, and which IS q tavorite haunt of the Apsches when
 on the ~srpath. From this peak 6 commanding view can be had for many miles of the surrounding coun- try is a natural fortress aad while the Indians remain there they hold sway. These fires are supposed to belong to Kid and his band, as he could easily have reached the point of the peak since he was last seen on Sunday last.

Nearly a Tragedy.

The general monotony of Bisbse was yesterday enlivened by an encoun- ter between Judge Reilly and M. Nc. Guirk, which threatened at one time to become serious. The trouble emanated from the recent divorce suit of McGuirk vs McGuirk. in which Judge Reilly was attorney for plsint- if, Mrs. McGuirk, and in which capa- city he was endeavoring to collect part of the rents. as awarded by the courts.
 Mir. McGuirk demurred at paying rent for the saloon he occupied as s place of business. Hard words en- sued, and McGuirk knocked Judge Reilly down, who then attempted to draw his revolver, but was prevented by parties present.
 Both contestants were arrested. Judge Reilly was discharged, but Mir. McGuirk was held and his hearing set for to-day.
