XMAS WITH SUNDAY SCHOOLS.

Christmas in the churches will not
be very extensive, the members, with
good judgment, concluding that the
money usually used in progressive and
thrifty times can be used to better adj
vantage among the poor, and the little
ones will probably appreciate this con-
clusion- if not now, when they grow
older surely.
The Sunday school treat of the
Presbyterian church will be on Satur-
day evening, commencing at seven
o'clock. The pupils of the school are
being drilled in recitations and songs
and other things suitable for Christ
mos tide. There will be a Christmas
tree decorated by the handiwork Of
the school, and some little presents fol-
the children. The usual amount Of
sweetmeats will also be poured into

the pockets of the little ones. On Sun
day morning there will be special
Christmas services, and in the evening
there will be children's and young
peoples service in behalf of the Mis-
sionary Band of the church. On Sat
urday evening and at both services on
Sunday the church choir will take a
prominent part.
The Methodist Sunday school fes-
tivities will also occur on Saturday ev-
ening at the church parlors. They
will be in harmony with the principle
of spending the money where it will
do the most. good. There will be ex-
ercises, such as singing and speaking
by the pupils, and candy and pop corn
will be distributed among them. The
feeling of thankfulness and happiness
will be cultivated, and it is certain
that the pupils will go home in that
mood.

IN RE MR.. MADIGAN.
More About the Charges and IndiCt-
ments Against Him.

The cases and charges against Coun
ty Attorney Madigan haye attracted
attention anew during the past week,
by reason Of the county attorney cir
culating petitions to be signed by cit
liens of the county, asking the court
to grant the county attorney a change
of venue for the reason that he could
not get fair trial in this county, the
newspapers having given, the matter
SO D,uch publicity, the commissioners,
the county auditor, sheriff and clerk
of court being SO prejudiced,as to make
it impossible to get fair jury.
Chairman .Philbrick, of the Board,
also states that Commissioner Taylor,
whom Gov. Nelson appointed to take
evidence,as well as Stenographer Eek
stein, would be here before Jan. 1st.
and take the evidence in the four
charges preferred to the Governor.
Still further proceedings have been
instituted through the medium of the
Supreme Court of the State, which
body has been asked by the Board of
County Commissioners, through its
attorneys, S. L. and w. III. Pierce, to
disbar the county attorney from fur
ther practice in this State on account
of the charges that have been made,
and which is claimed in the prayer
they can prove.
There is also report current to the
effect that the State feels weak in
three of the indictments returned
against the county attorney, and that
the first Indictment set for trial is the
one on which the State expects con-
viction. This is mere rumor, however
Attorney Peck is expected here this
week, when the manner of change
Of venue will be decided. as to wheth-
er the motion will be made or not.

CITY ELECTION.
The Candidates Blossom Out as the
Day Approaches.

With the approach of the city cleo
ton the candidates are drawing to
focus. It now appears quite certain
that Mayor Dickinson will again stand
as a candidate for that position, and
MS untiring attention to that office,
coupled with a vindication in nearly
everything that he has undertaken IN
the line of municipal work, surely war
rants the expectation that he will re-
ceive large vote. Mayor Dickinson
may have made enemies in his office
by virtue of his being able to say yes
or no. as he believed was right, but the
Mayor who can boldly state his posi-
ton is certainly far more worthler OF
the office than person who attempts
to ride two fences.
For the office of recorder no oppo-
sition has developed against Frank |.
Gleason, and it appears quite certain
that that gentleman will have walk
away. For the office Of treasurer, Il.
A. Baldwin is again an active candi-
date, and is working in his own clever
way. Fred. Thompson has been men
toned in connection with the office,
and should he run, pretty race will
be witnessed.
For the position of alderman OF the
first ward w. S. Mckay is pro
nounced candidate, and if elected will
continue in the line of progress that
has made this city SO prominent
among other Minnesota towns for the
last few years. No opposition has APP
peared in his ward. For alderman of
the second ward w. R. Caswell, alike
as popular as Mr.. Mckay, seems to
have no opposition. "Pop" Caswell
is one of those genial, whole-souled
fellows, who never makes an enemy,
and makes friends continually. He
will also make a progressive alderman
Police Judge French has no oppo-
sition for his Office yet. And it is not
likely that such opposition will ma.
terialize, as he has made most right
eous Judge, and is entitled to re-elec.
ton.

DENIES SHAKESPEARE.
Rev. John Sinclair Thinks the Poet
Off His Base.

During the course of his remarks
last Sunday evening, Rev. John Sin
clair made pertinent suggestion re-
garding Christmas. He stated that in
Chicago and New York the churches
had given up lavish Christmas enter
tainments this year, deciding to use
the money that would be expended in
them towards the assistance of the
poor and needy of those two great
metropolises. He thought the idea a
very wise one, suggested by the Al
mighty, and he limited that right here
in Redwood Falls it would be far bet
ter to give up all outward display and
use the money towards the care of the
poor, several such families having been
found by the ladies of the various
churches.
The eminent divine disputed the
words of Shakespeare put in the mouth
of Marc Antony, when that Roman was
delivering his address over the body
of dead Caesar: "The evil that men
do lives after them; the good is oft in
tered with their bones" He thought
that, Notwithstanding that the wor DIS
had never been disputed, they were
wrong, because the good that man
does lives after him as Long or longer
than the evil. He consequently adj
monished all to do some good act, and
insisted that it would live after.

The Mankato Free Press contains
the following two notices compliment
airy to our two high school contestants
for first honors at Mankato:

evening. He proved that he had a
good conception of the piece, and his
we'll cultivated voice and excellent
emphasis showed to good advantage.
The superintendent of the different
schools held meeting after the con-
test and all We're satisfied. It was de-

Gen. Knickerbocker marrying Violet
to Lord Dolphin. Mr.. Buxton is both
an actor and an artist IAN actor in
perfectly interpreting his role, an art
list in singing as the musical author
would have the words sang. His ev-
cry action was comedy, pure and
laughable. His every note, despite q
slight cold, rolled from his mouth
with the sublimity of a Taglipetrie, a
Mcdonald, or Hopper.
Mrs. George Dickinson,as Miss Hur-
ricane, suggestive of great action,
chaperoned the tourist maidens with
a determination to have her own way.
Her singing, too, was charming. Frank
Fowler, as Lord Dolphin, made the
part all that it could be made; ii: A.
Baldwin, as Teddy, valet to the lord,
was typical Irishman, properly
winged and whiskered, full of come
dy and dances, rendering a song and
dance that gave him a deserved en-
core. Miss Nettie Houck is grace
full little artist, and as Dolly Dimple,
she won immediate favor wit the aud
fence.
Chas. johnson and Ross Houck ap-
peared as custom house officers, while
Mrs. H. A. Baldwin appeared as Lady
Dolphin, Warehouses of Pullhimback,
all minor characters. The chorus was
made up of Mesdames Baldwin and
Pease, Misses Beecher, Clayson, Vir-
ginia Huntington, Rowe, Chollar and
Baldwin, and Messrs. Dickinson, Drake,
Bergen, French, Whittet, Whitman,
Ross and Will Houck.
Mrs. G. G.. johnson was the pianist,
and it was through her untiring eff
forts at the piano for nearly two months
past that it was made possible to pre-
sen: the opera. She has shown her
ability at the instrument, that she is
complete mistress of it, and her ex-
hibited talent in the difficult musical
rendition bespeaks for her larger
musical class in the future.
Messrs. Rogers, Terpening, Fowler
and Drake played band selections be-
tween both acts, and their most excel
lent playing elected hearty applause.
Those present from Morton on Fri
day evening were S. w. Tredway, R.
H. @. Human, Henry Beckman, Geo.

Maud Waters, Nellie Brown, Maggie

MR.. HENDRICKSON'S DARLING
James B. HendriCksOn. and Grace
Darling United in Med1oCk
Tuesday Morning.

December, With It's rich ROBE OF
snowy white, glistening and sparkling
in the sunshine,is like June, the month
of roses, in one respect-a month for
weddings. AS the days appr zach
Christmas this hottest ceremony be-
comes more common-the brides and
grooms become more numerous, and
CUPID darts about here and there al
ways sure Of catching more victims to
the happiness he has for all. The lit
tie fellow made a lovely catch bright
and early last Tuesday morning; when
Miss Grace Darling, the charming
and accomplished daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. Geo. NJ. Darling was united
in marriage to James B. Hendrickson,
formerly of this place, but now of Ow-
atonna, the ceremony occurring in the
chapel of the M. E. church, Rev. L.
L. Hanscom officiating. Quite large
crowd of friends of the bride and
groom and the relatives of the con-
tracing parties we're present.
It was shortly after nine o'clock
when the bridal party was announced
at the church. Frank Ring and Frank
Hubbard stepped to the entrance and
assumed the office of ushers. First
came the four flower girls, Helep
Darling, Melissa Persons. Celina Bak-
er and Bessie Mead, clad in white, the
former two carrying baskets of flowers
and the latter hand bouquets. Next
came the groom, supported by Clyde
Darling, brother to the bride, both at
tired in conventional Prince Albert
costumes, and wearing single white
rose as bouttonaires. Following came
the bride leaning on the arm of her
father, and attired in a gown of rich
China silk, trimmed with Brussels net
lace, a single silk rosette in the bodice,
en- traine, white slippers and silk mitts.
Two huge Jacque roses formed the
corsage ornament, while single rose
adorned the hair. A dainty pin, in
which was set solitaire diamond,
closed the gown at the neck. Follow
ing the bride came the maid of honor
Miss Agnes Hitchcock, in a cream
Henrietta, with silk lace trimmings
and white silk mitts. Miss Kate Rath-
bone, in gown vi cream albatross
with Valenciennes lace trimmings
white silk mitts, acted as the second
maid, leaning on the arm of Marshall
Clayson. The organ, with Miss March
as organist, up wedding march
and the party slowly marched down
to the altar, the flower girls, maids Of
honor and groomsmen separating ano
