Mayor Dickinson is firm in his de-
termination not to again stand for the
mayorality. He declares that he has
had enough honor in being kicked for
doing his duty,a he wants some one
else in his place. But despite this
conclusion on the part of Mr.. Dickin-
son there are large number who be-
lieve that he is the best man for the
place, owing to his careful study of ali
municipal questions, and grasping i'm
portant subjects that arise, in bust
ness like manner. They contend that
Mr.. Dickinson should sink his indi-
vidual feelings, pay no attention to
his maligners, and again accept the
Office. No other candidate for the Of
fee has been heard of.
For treasurer, Mr.. HI. A. Baldwin is
again candidate for reelection, and
as yet no opposition hts manifested
itself against him. For recorder,
Frank l. Gleason is candidate for
reelection, and inasmuch as he has
only had part on one term, and fills
the Office very creditably, it is no more
than right that he should be elected
unanimously.
For alderman of the first ward to
succeed Mr.. Bager, the names of VS..
Mckay and OIL. Dornberg have been
mentioned, but without either of these
two gentlemen's sanction. W.R. Cas-
we'll is the only name mentioned so
far to succeed Aid. Peck. For Judge
of the Police Court, Hon. E. M. French
will in all probability succeed himself.

William Skinner was born in Upper
Canada in 1881. He lived with his
parents on the farm until % years of
age, working on the farm and attend
ing the common schools. At the age
of % he crossed the line and spent q
year and half IN Dane Co., Wis, af-
ter which he ran down to Kossuth
county, Iowa. While here he took q
part in the Spirit Lake massacre, be-
ing member of the Kossuth Rang
ers. He remained in that capacity one
year, after which he returned to Mad
ison, Wis. settled on q farm near there,
and remained Is years. During this
period, or about rs years ago, he came
to Redwood Falls and purchased a
tract of land. Several years later he
purchased the land now achieving q
great deal of notoriety on account of
the coal finds, now owned by Alfred
Moon. On this he settled with his
family. Later he moved into Red
wood Falls and started dairy line,
running it for three years, after which
he moved to Henry. s. D., and en-
gagged in the livery and machine bust
ness, which he pursued for three years.
Then he farmed it near Henry for
awhile, after which he embarked in
the furniture business in that place, re-
naming in that business for nearl y
three years, and in 1892 coming to
Redwood Falls, and with Victor M.
Persons engaging in the furniture
business here.
He was married to Miss Ella Wal
dron, at Madison, Wis, while he re-
sided there,and they have three child
rem, Corinne Skinner Loba, Emma and
J. Fletcher.

Victor M. Persons was born ia Maui
ston, Wis, in 1858, spending the nine
first years of his life at that place, af-
ter which he began a career of wan
dering which only few of the young
men of his age have enjoyed. Going
from Mansion to Fayette county, Iowa,
he remained there until 1879, serving
at the wagon makers trade, and then
removing to Minneapolis, where he
served two years as carriage maker
in the shops of the Minneapolis Car
rage Co. He pursued the carpenter
work in Minneapolis until 1886, and
then went to Illinois for the North
western Fuel Co., where he acted as
foreman of a crew of men engaged in
opening a new coal mine. Working
there for one year he came to Red
wood Falls and prepared complete
set of abstracts for French & Hough-
master,a task which gave him employ
ment for two years. Mr.. Persons was
next found in California, working at
his carpenters trade around San Ber-
nardino and Los Angeles. With the
death of the California boom he went
north into the new State of Washing
tor. land there pursued the contracting
and builders business until he came
to Redwood Falls last year, forming a
copartnership with Mr.. Skinner and
embarking in the furniture business,
the two purchasing the stock of Geo
w. Nield & Co. Mr.. Persons is an ex-
pert carpenter and builder.

MORE ABOUT THE MINE.
Inquiries Coming in Regarding the
Value of the Coal Mine.

And still the mining of coal by Al
fred Moon goes merrily on. Larger
grows the vein. More men are being
called into service, and the demand is
still greater than the supply. The
vein now is over feet thick, the coal or
Ignite of an improved quality, and
eight men are engaged night and day
in mining coal from three different
rooms, working south from the main
shaft. Request for the coal are COM
ing in from all sections of the State.
Postmaster Mckay is besieged with
letters of inquiry relative to the beds.
One of them happens to be from
Frank A. Flower. one of the Superior
Leader men, who says that discov-
cry of the kind is of the highest i'm
portance TO the Northwest, asks of the
size of the coal field, thickness of vein,
cost of mining, distance from rail
road, in a general way the quality,
price at which it is sold, depth of mine,
and whether any tests have been made
of the coal for coking purposes.
Another letter comes from X. Sven
ningson, proprietor of the Mason City
Pillow and Wagon Works. He is de-
sirous of moving his large wagon and
pillow manufacturing plant to place
nearer the coal fields, and in rough
or country than the one in which he
resides. He wants to know if the citi-
zens of Redwood Falls will give him

AN AMATEUR OPERA.
Local Church Talent Will Appear
in 1.-The Little Tycoon.

The theatre is to receive stimulus
from local players, representing the
Episcopal and Methodist churches,
commencing tomorrow evening, and
continuing two days. The highly COM
ic opera, "The Little Tycoon" full of
comedy, refined music, dancing, etc..
with gaily robed chorus,is to be pre-
sented at the opera house. Our local
artists have been rehearsing it for a
long time past-in fact, ever since
Miss Beecher and Mrs. o. w. McMil-
Ian suggested the idea of presenting
it over two months since. The story
of the opera hinges over disobedient
daughter who wants to marry Wall
street broker, while her father has her
selected for man of foreign and no
BILE birth. The daughter continues to
act against her fathers wishes through
out the play, until at last, right in his
handsome residence at Newport she
conceives the idea at Japanese fete,
to introduce her lover as the Tycoon
of Japan. She falls in love with him,
and tells her father. Her father,
pleased with anything that is foreign,
approves of the love and wedding,
the disguise is thrown off, and Violet,
the daughter, weds her first and only
love. She is thereby dubbed ''the
Little Tycoon" The first act is laid
on the deck of an ocean steamer re-
turning from Europe, the Sc cond is in
the drawing room of Gen. Knicker-
bocker's villa at Newport, Violet's
home. Around Violet everything cen
ters: all other parts are minor. Mrs.
Mcmillan has the role, Dewitt Mar
tin is Alvin Barry, her Wall street

Owatonna. All tho judges we're thus
from outside the district.
The musical part of the program
consisted of chorus, q trio, 9 mixed
quartette and q flute solo. Positions
on the program we're determined by
lot. Redwood Falls obtained the
fourth Lena Winter and seventh
10y Pugh. The two girls and the two
boys ranking highest in their respect
i've classes go to Minneapolis, and
there the two holding first places
speak before the State Teachers Asso-
citation on Dec. ~.
By 7:3O the assembly room of the
high school was filed to overaowing
with fully five hundred people. Our
contestants did we'll and we're an honor
to our school. They we're only dis
tanced very slightly by Mankato in
consequence of long professional train
ing outside of the high school.
The first place among the girls was
given to Katherine Meagher, of Mar
kato, who recited "The First Settlers
Story;" close second to Miss Meag
her came Lena Winter and Bertha
Ludcke, of St. Peter, who recited
"Prince Eric's Christ Maid" Both
we're ranked just the same by the
judges, and consequently tied for Sec
ond place. The referee finally decid-
ed in favor of Miss Ludcke, which
gave Miss Winter third place.
The first place among the boys was
given to Harry Carney. of Mankato,on
"Rienzi's Address to the Romans"
The second piece was easily won by
10y Pugh. who will consequently go
to Minneapolis on Dec. ~. 10y was
but one point below first place.
Both of our ers,despite the I'M
necessary confusion purposely caused
by the Mankato High School pupils
were distinctly heard in every part OF
the room and held the attention of the
audience perfectly. The contest as a
whole was superior to the one of last
year. There was no prompting and
no stumbling. The only unsatisfactory
feature was the lack of courtesy dur
ing the contest shown the visiting con-
testants by the High School pupils of
Mankato. To not only cheer ones
own contestants and keep perfectly
still while they are speaking, but also
to laugh, talk aloud, make faces and
create confusion generally while visit
ing contestants are speaking, is to say
the least, decidedly rude and i'll
hammered. If contending against such
odds, including the size of the town,
professional training, etc., we succeed
ed in getting SO near the goal this year,
shall we not next year, by little ex-
ira effort, be able to carry off both
first honors as Mankato has done this
year? And if we should secure the
District Contest for Redwood Falls
next year, as it seems very probable
that we shall, we shall have an oppor-
tunity for setting them an example OF
courteous treatment.
Prof. Torrens was chosen to preside
over the meeting at Mankato, and &C
Quilted himself creditablv.
