HONOR TO REDWOOD FALLS.
Mayor Dickinson is Made Grand
Master of the State.

Again has Redwood Falls been hon
ored. On last Thursday the Grand
Lodge of Minnesota, Ancient, Free
and Accepted Masons, in annual con-
vocation, bestowed the highest honor
of that body upon Mayor w. F. Dick
inson, of this city, the Office and jewels
of Grand Master having been bestowed
upon him at that time.
The honor was certainly bestowed
upon hard working Mason as we'll
as an industrious city official. By
careful study Mr.. Dickinson became
perfect in the history and workings of
Masonry, and several years ago,he was
first elected to Office in the Grand
Lodge. He arose slowly, taking or
the average of one step every two
years, and last Thursday his perse
verance met with the honor mentioned
above. He was elected with but lit
tie opposition, and the $50 Masons
that made his election unanimous
fully realized that they were bestow
ing the honor upon . man peculiarly
adapted for the position.

DEATH OF DR.. RIHELDAFFER
Peacefully the Great Minister and
Organizer Passes Away
A Brief Sketch Of the Career Of a
Remarkable Man.
DR.. Riheldaffer is dead,


Toll those bells slowly, tread gent
ly, whisper softly, for the spirit Of a
man that has made history in Mime
sofa, that has been an organizer and
promoter of religious and charitable
work in the State, that has been faith
full to the interests of Redwood Falls
and county, has departed for its
heavenly home, and no more will that
pleasing countenance beam among
our people.
Toll them slowly, tread gently,
whisper softly: one more spark of
this great moving mass of humanity,
has gone out and returned to Him
from whence it came; one more citi-
zen has Death taken from our midst;
one more face, one more kind heart is
missing; one more family is left faith
erless; one more family is looking to
God FOR strength. : ~ !.
1t was bitter cold on the evening of
Jan. Is. A sharp northeast wind
whistled over the town and was heed
ed by nearly everybody. But in that
sick chamber, over which the angel of
death has lowered SO long, there were
those who needed not the cruel winds
or the biting frost without. The dy-
ing struggles of the venerable patient
were foremost in their thoughts, and
as the latter passed into a state of un-
consciousness, and from thence into a
death sleep. they first realized what
they had lost by the death of DR.. John
G.. Riheldaffer.
Death apparently came easy, natur-
al. The patient commenced to sink
as early as six o'clock, and sank rap
idly from that time. Tho struggles
following consciousness we're brief
and when the eyes closed forever it
was done as if the patient had fallen
into deep sleep. Indeed, that was
the first impression of those who we're
at the death bed, but breathing was
stopped, the heart had ceased to beat,
the spirit had departed, and the re-
mains we're turning cold. DR.. Ri
heldaffer was dead.
Death resulted from a complication
of liver troubles. The troubles first
commenced to assume a serious as
pect as far back as last November,
when the Doctor was. obliged to take
to his bed, and has practically re-
NAMED in the house ever since. In
December he grew gradually worse,
and while he received excellent med

When it is stated that there are ov-
er l4,OOO Masons in the State over
which the Grand Master has jurisdic-
tion, and among which, he, either
personally or through the minor Of
ficers, must visit, our readers can see
for themselves the extent of his work
for the ensuing year.
Not only was his election an honor
to Antiquity Lodge, of this city, but
also to the entire city, and when a
person stops to consider that very few,
if any, more than so Masons are ex-
alted to the honor, in century, the
truth of this statement is apparent.

"Wkat briqht star ts ttntf"


Mark had kept up his assumed char.
acter very we'll during her presence.
Now that he was left alone with the
daughter he was put to much severe1
test. The girl had something of the
stateliness of her mother as that state,
illness had appeared in her mothers
youth. Mark had been so used from his
childhood to meet refined bearing with
one equally refined that he found it diff
ficult to avoid doing so now.
.sDon't you love to look at the stars

"Waal, yas, Miss"-
my name is Laura Fain."

Mark suddenly became conscious OF
having forgotten himself. He recollect.
ed his critical position and resolved to
proceed with greater care.
"How far is the moon?' asked Miss
Fain.
"The moons hundred million miles.
l reckon"
"Oh, no. You're far out of the way
there. It's only about two hundred and
forty thousand miles"
"Waal, ncw!" exclaimed Mark in we'll
feigned surprise.
She looked searchingly at him, but
Mark looked as if he had simply received
an interesting piece of information.
'Do you like poetry?'' she asked chang
ing the subject.
''Some'at."
my favorite poet is Tennyson. Is he
yours too?"
This was dangerous ground for Mark.
He had a special fondness for poetry, and
was more likely to betray himself on
this than on any other subject.
''No," he said; II love Shelley BEST"
"Why, Mr.. Slack, how can you under
stand Shelley9 can't"
'Waal, he is kinder obscurelike.
'Do you remember any OF his poems?

peat it."
"Waal, mought give you a few lines

Mark would have done we'll to let the
lode to the Spirit of Nature alone: but
with beautiful girl beside him, the
half moon sinking in the west and all
nature in repose, he momentarily forgot
his assumed character entirely. He be-
gan, intending to give only q few lines
and not to forget his dialect: but the
spirit of nature was in him as we'll as
in the poem, and by the time he had re-
cited a few lines he was as oblivious to
the character of Slack, the farmers son,
as if he had been the poet himself. Sud
denly he awoke to the consciousness of
having given the whole poem in his nat
ural tone and with his ordinary accent.

CHAPTER V.
GLORIOUS PERFIDY,

GLOklOUS PERFIDY.
When Mark went down stairs the next
morning, followed by Jakey, they were
invited into the breakfast room. Laura
Fain was there, but her mother was not.
Mark looked at Laura, but she avoided
his gaze. He asked after her mother.
mamma scarcely ever gets up to
breakfast" she said as she poured out
a substitute for coffee.
During the meal she said but little,
and that was only on commonplace sub.
jects. She seemed to have more on her
mind than the soldier who was taking
his life in his hands, and studiously
avoided looking at him at all.
Jakey ate heartily. Mark noticed him
eating with his knife and otherwise dis
playing his humble origin, while he was
himself eating like q gentleman. He
thought that it was lucky Mrs. Fain was
not at the tahla.

Can This Be WILL ROTH?
The Young SwindIer Said To Be In
Limbo In Utica, N. Y.
He is Also Wanted in Beckett, Mas
sachusetts.

William T. Roth, the clever swind-
Ter, who SO successfully operated
around here in November of last year,
giving champagne suppers, negotiat-
ing divers and sundry small loans;
and securing endorsements to drafts
for sums ranging from $25 to 500,
has been heard of again, this time
way down in Massachusetts,, where he
has apparently been operating with
and without success. On Thursday of
last week Mr.. G.. w. Nield, of this
city, received letter from furniture
dealer named c.. B. Ferry, in Beckett,
Massachusetts, ,inquiring for descrip-
ton of Roth. The letter stated that
Mr.. Ferry noticed, while reading a
Chicago furniture pamphlet, state
ment of Roth's intrigues around Red
wood Falls, and then goes on to say
THAT
/ eve had in our place in the sum-
mer of 1892, a man very similar in
character to this person Roth, but at
the present time he is behind the
CRATES in Utica, New York, not far
from whore the county borders on
New York State. It is expected that
he will be brought here to our county
! before long for trial on several charg-
es. His actions, so far as I can Judge
from the published statement, hint
that he is the same person wanted
around Redwood Falls. We know
him here as j. G. Mueller. If you
care to know give me a description Of
his personal appearance. 1
never saw HIM but once and then only
for moment, and I am not among
the bitten, but would like to sec the
rascal get his just desserts"
In all probabilities this is Roth. He
was in the East, it is well-known dur
| ing the summer months, and it is fair
i to presume that after his manoeuver-
tings there he made q jump for TIE
west, and following his work here and
at Belle Plaine he made another jump
to New York, where, like the little
miller, he flew around the lamp of
danger just once too often, and had
his wings singed SO as to put him in
possession of the clutches of the law.
Mr.. Roth had one great trait, ac-
cording to careful inquiries. That is,
he would appear in town where he
proposed swindling, with mustache,
and in another town couple of
months later, smoothly shaven. The
effect of this was almost complete
disguise, and the only satisfactory de-
scription would be heighth, weight,
color of eyes and complexion.
i In case the Utica authorities fail to
convict him requisition will prob
ably be secured, and Roth will be
brought to Minnesota to
answer to charges preferred against
him. Belle Plaine may get him at
first, after which, in case of failure to
convict, he may be brought to Red
wood and Renville counties.

The mother continued the pumping
process for awhile, but whether she
made no progress, or whether Mark
succeeded in establishing himself in her
confidence, she arose and walked with
all the stateliness of southern high
born matron into the house. There she
resumed the book she had been reading
earlier in the evening.

tion?' she asked.
"Oh, we put in some potatoes and:

The girl looked at him and smiled.

casually.
"Yas, we got in ourn early. We jest

"Why, Mr.. Slack!'' :
Mark knew that he had blundered
again.
"Wheat is gathered in July" she in
formed the young farmer.
III mean the corn," he said wildly.
"The corn comes later. It is ripening
now"
Mark felt it was all up with him so
far as deceiving Miss Fain as to his being
q farmer, but he struck out boldly to
undo some of the mischief.
"Waal, you see, Miss Fain, to tell the
whole truth, dad he don't reckon much
Oh my farmen. He says oughter be a
perfessor or somep'n o that sort"
"a gentleman, for instance"
Mark made no reply. For the first
time he detected irony in her tone.
'Mr. Slack-if that is really your
name, which l don't believe-you are
certainly not very complimentary to my
sense of perception"
"How sos"
I'm trying to make me think you are
not an educated gentleman"
Mark saw the futility of keeping up
the sham with Miss Laura Fain any
longer. He resolved to give her SO much

he could do so at all. His manner and
his tone changed in q twinkling.

in. The mother sat by lamp on a

face was also bent over book. It was
white as the margin of the page she pre-

not only Joined the league herself, but has
undertaken to Induce her patients to do
likewise.
The idea is an excellent one, and It is to
be hoped that other physicians will follow
her example, for every doctor Is aware that
crinoiines are unhealthy.

stealthily and well. The most knowing OF
us never suspected it.
Last night the firm receiving the goods
threw up It's shades and fifty hoopskirts
filled the window.
The crowd gathered in hushed silen co

way
Faces white and grimly hopeless were
there.

All, yesi There they were. Hoops. hoops,
hoops; red and white and blue ones; big,
broad hoops for portly ladies; little, mar
row hoops for slender ladies'; hoops with
side-Swelling pieces, and hoops with bustles.
Some opened in front and some In the back.
There were naughty, arist0erahc hoops
for $40. and modest ones with no silk
worked interstiees, and with only here
and there a whalebone band; these
were 30 cents.
There were actually hoops for children,
In that window.

And those cunning little bodies who tot

That SiXth-sireet window looked full of
skeletons from the other side OF the
street. The electric lights within shone
through the narrow ribs and made them
look like human bones. They shook and
swayed gruesomely in the light breeze that
was stirring.
The entangling skirt had no power over
the crowd. The itching palms of the wire
devil-hsh could not reach them. They shook
their heads In ominOus eloquent silence.

as if to refuse to wear hoops was penal

remark that these bell-Shaped hoops are
liable to be dangerous.
Their lower extremities being so much
the larger, it Is probable that the crinoline
would become wild and unmanageabie IL
kicked accidentally by passing pedestrian.
II might even infi1ct grievous bodily injury
upon passers-by if it CHANGED to he MT

OF course this is all surmise. 1t would be
hasty TO class the bell-shaped crinollne as
a concealed weapon until something more
definite is known about its habits and Gus
toms.
But why should we experiment with such
en- ungainly, disagreeable thingP Why
should people who have submitted calmly to
seeing statues OF the Venus of Milo and the
Venus of Medics decked out In health

suddenly veer round and prepare to adopt
style of dress as unhealthy as tits inartistc?
Why, indeed?
Many people are asking whether there Is
any fee attached TO joining the league.
Certainly there is no fee. All are gladly
welcomed. Coupons may be sent by mail
or left at one Of THE CALL Offices These
coupons are registered, and in few days
each lady will receive her certificate.
