directed "care the Herald" but by
some mistake was delivered to James

reading as follows:

haste, JAS. Aiken, care Hotel st. Louis. .
Judge Bowers sent the money back
via the American express. Aiken went
to the Office, had himself identified and
got the-money. He then threw up his
job and slid out of the city.
The express company was notified
and took up the matter at once. The
facts given above we're asceFtained and
the thing to do was to find Aiken. He
has brother in the city working for
the Wells Stone Mercantile company,
and through him the whereabouts Of

that if there be in the body Of the
American nation a political question
at issue which has a moral bearing, q
question which is right or wrong, il
the Christian church is the church Of
the Lord Jesus Christ she cannot stay
out of politics. "She should not be q
political party but the congregation
should unite against the evil. The
church should not fear making too
much of hobby out ofthe question
make about as much of a hobby of de.
stroying the saloon as the devil does
keeping it going the devils on earth
and in hell. We need little less of
anxiety Of having everybody think
that we are alright on the question.
We want TO convince them by active
work."
Mr.. Wells said that he was told that
the VanDusen elevator had probably
been set on fire by drunken tramps, a
party of these maudlin fellows having
been heard in riotous revelry in the
neighborhood between twelve and one
O'clock. Sixteen thousand dollars

A SARCASTIC EDITOR.

Editor johnson, of the New Ulm
Review, has not yet forgiven the GA
zErrE for renovating the old Brown
county jail,and admonishing the sher-
if of that county to do his duty. and
whenever he can indulge in string
of Phillipics that will give proper vent
to his feelings, he allows them to -ap-
pear in print in his eight page weekly.
Through some error of Editor John
sons clerk, the GAZETTE was, about
three months since, disbarred from ex-
changing with the New Ulm leading
weekly, and as result, the editor of
this paper has not enjoyed reading the
bright witticisms of the New Ulm ed
itor,until last week, when the exchange
was renewed. In the last Review we
find, after an article commencing the
Redwood county commissioners for
building Jail, the following sarcastic,
yet not unpleasant remarks:
Now that the county of Redwood is
to have a new Jail it will devolve upon
Editor Schmahl, whose heart throbs
with lofty humanitarianism, to see that
the cells are furnished with richest
tapestry and easy touches and the cor
ridor with velvety carpets, billiard ia
bles and soft reclining chairs. In other
words, let him strive to make the Jail
a haven of repose for the hardened
wanderer in sin. Instead of plain ev-
cry day diet, let him see that the cul-
prit gets angel food and plum pud-
ding. Let him demand that the mean
est prisoners table groan with pastry,
turkey and escalloped oysters, SO that
his mind at night may be entirely free
from diabolical visions and horrible
dreams. All this will be directly in
line with SchmahPs hate for the
Brown county method of serving pris-
oners in the regular old-time way and
likewise inkeeping with his own ex-
allied ideas of Jail reform. In few
words, let him make the Redwood bas-
tile so comfortable and inviting that
he wouldn't mind spending aafew Of
his owe winter evenings there. s.

~
Otto Schmahl first saw the light of
day at Traverse de Sioux, Nicollet
county % years ago. He came to Red
wood Falls with his parents, when but
five years of age. Here he attended
school in fall and winter, and spent
the summer working on several farms
in Redwood county, until 1881, when
he entered into the service of H.J
Loud, as clerk IN the latter's drug
store. He remained with Mr.. Loud
for two years, during which time he
acquired such a perfect knowledge of
the pharmaceutical business as to give
him first place in the class admitted to
practice by the State Pharmaceutical
board in 1883. He then went to Tow
or, Minnesota, and there conducted
the store of Brown & Anderson for
nearly two years. In 1885 he changed
his residence to St. Paul, entering the
service of A. P. Wilkes, conducting a
branch store for that gentleman on
West Seventh street, and remained
there for two years. When the store
was sold Mr.. Schmahl was engaged by
P. j. Dreis, of ST. Peter street, as a
clerk, remaining there for a year or
more, and then going to more central
drug store of St. Paul, that of P. c..
Lutz, on the corner of Fifth and Wa
basha. He remained with Mr.. Lutz
until 189lpgoing to Helena, Montana,
for several months, and then coming
to Redwood Falls, where he engaged
in the drug business for himself at his
present place on Second street.

WELLS TALKS TEMPERANCE.
The Prohibition Worker Speaks at
the N. e. Church.

"This nation must in the near future
destroy the saloon," said Rev. George
F. Wells. of Hamline, at the M. 3.
church Sunday evening, cor the sa-
loon will destroy the Nation" These
were the opening words of the tenn
perance orator, short, rather heavy
set, Spanish bearded fellow, full of
sarcasm at the saloon. He spoke
against the liquor traffic from the
church, contending that the main re-
lance for putting the same down was
the Christian churches, in it's various
branches, Protestant, CathoEc.a and the
kindred organizations, such as the w.
G. T. u, etc. He said that 80 or IS
per cent. of the workers in the cause
were members of the church, because
the church has a sensitive awakening
conscience concerning the license and
drink traffic, and it was that awaken
ing conscience that would crush the
traffic. He thought that business men
would be soon moved to realize that
they can't afford to put S., 900 into the
saloon and draw $500 out Of it. ''The
revival Of religion elected Lincoln y
he said, 'and the revival of religion
would crush the saloon when
100000 citizen kings got their. sens
es, and when that time arrives there
will probably be 100000. citizen
queens by their side" Mr.. Wells urged
upon his auditors to get over the fear
that the.church would have too much
to dowith politics in2the settlement
of the question. Thirty days ago he
thought that the church must not act

FIFTY FEET HIGH.
The Monument for Camp Release
Agreed Upon.

The commission appointed to select
a monument to be located on the site
of Camp Release, Lac qui Parle coun-
ty, by the last legislature, have chosen
the design of A. Critchfeld and award
ed the contract for the erection of the
obelisk to the N. p. Peterson Co., of
St. Paul. The last legislature appro-
priated $500 for the location of the
monument on Camp Release, as we'll
as for the one at Birch Cooley. The
enactment appointed commission to
carry out it's intent, which is to COM
memorate the battles at Redwood,
Aug. 10, 1862, Fort Ridgely, Aug. 20
%, New Ulm, Aug. % 2f,Birch Cooley,
Sept. 2, Wood Lake, Sept. %, and the
release of the white and half breed
captives from the Indians in the up
rising of that year. The design chos-
en- is monument representative of
classic art rather than of categorical
character. The shaft will stand fifty
feet-high upon a pedestal nine feet
wide. It is to be built of red Mime
sofa granite. The spire and the sides
upon which the inscription is to be
chiseled, will be highly polished. The
inscription will read, aside from the
battles given above, as follows:
Erected by the
| State of Minnesota
| To Commemorate
The Surrender Here, Sept. 26, 1852, of
Large Body of Sioux Indians
| and rbe Release of 81 White
Captives Women and Chill

| The Result Mainly of the
Victory Oyer the Hostile Sioux at Wood
Lake Gained Three Days Pre-
viously by
Minnesota. Troops Under Command of
Gen. Henry H. Sibley.
All Being Incidents of the Great Sioux
| Outbreak and Massacre of 1852.
From minnesota in the Civil and
Indian War" the following is taken as
giving some idea of the place where
the monuments located. and what was
done there: This battle of Wood Lake
effected the release of about three
hundred captives which the Indians
held, and of whom one hundred and
fifty were white women and children
many of them refined, educated
women and teachers, who had been
and we're being subjected to barbarous
treatment. It also affected the sur.
render of 1900 Indians, including four
hundred warriors, among whom were
those afterwards convicted and execut
ed for havin perpetrated some of the
massacres. On the 26th, the ThirC
Regiment went into camp at point
about twenty miles further on, oppo
site the mouth of Chippewa river, ano
which was afterwards appropriately
named Camp Release. The Indiar
camp was near there, and the negoti-
alton which had commenced immedi
ately after the battle concluded in the
course of few days by the delivery
of the captives and prisoners.

place the burden where it belongs; on
the land owner, AN equal tax on all land

the speculator or railroad corporation

There are 10000 single tax men in

of the single tax. That was what de-
feated Lawrence for congress last year.
If Erickson had been nominated he
would have been elected, because he
would have got 1000 single tax votes
that Lawrence did not get. Ex-Mayor
