GIVE THEM A Benefit.
A Monstrous Benefit Suggested for
the Band Boys.

1t has been suggested that mas
much as the band boys have made
such rapid strides in the exposition of
fine band music, and that they are al
ways ready to volunteer their services
to charitable entertainments, societies,
etc., the people of this city should join
hands and give them a mcnstrous ben
eft performance, everything, SO far as
possible, to be donated. The program
can be made up of musical selections
by leading local artists, extra fine Sc
lections by the band, and one act
comedietta, the participants in which
can be easily and successfully found
in Redwood Falls.
The boys should be uniformed, and
a monster benefit of the kind sug-
gested, would in a great measure, as
sist the boys in getting their uniforms.
They can make some arrangements
among themselves, in case of the re-
moval of one of their number to an
other town, to reimburse him for the
extra amount he may be required to
pay for the uniform, or he can make
up the difference and take the uni
form with him, the proceeds to be used
for uniform for the person who takes
his place.
The band very readily responds to
the request of all charitable organiza-
tions, etc., for music, and we do not
believe that there is a member of any
of those organizations but what would
be willing to take from one to two
tickets at so cents each, and this would
fill the opera house to overlooking.
With but little expense the boys would
have good sinking fund for the pur-
chase of the uniforms. It is also pro-
posed that they choose some one who
understands music we'll enough to act
as drum major, and thus add greatly
to the appearance of the organization
when on parade.

pioneers, having moved here when
Redwood was only inhabited by half
breeds and wi d Indians, the latter of
which were constantly making raids
through the country until they we're
removed west of the Missouri river, by
the government troops. After living
little over year in the government
stockade, subsisting on hard tack and
bacon, his parents moved on to what
is now the old homestead, three miles
west of town, where his mother now
resides. The subject of our sketch
spent his early days on the old home
stead, at work during the summer
months and attending school during
the winter, until at the age of seven
teen he attended the high school at
Sullivan, ILL.,, the place of his birth.
Immediately after this he engaged in
teaching school, and after teaching
three terms with success and credit he
engaged in more renumerative call

engaging in the implement business
and farming, all of which he has con-

THE "REMINISCENCES.
Editor Bowling Comments on Col.
MCphail's Characteristics.

Editor Bowling, of the Renville
Star Farmer, very cleverly comments
on Col. Samuel McPhails prospective
"reminiscences of Redwood Falls,which
were to have been started in The GA
zETTE this week, but which have been
delayed on account of the Colonel
having some difficulty in finding
orders and manuscripts necessary for
the confirmation of the "reminiscences.
Bowling worked for the Colonel at
one time, and here is what he says:
Many of the early settlers in the
Minnesota Valley will be pleased to
learn that Col. Samuel McPhail, who
is living on farm in Lincoln county,
has decided to write a story of the
early days of Redwood Falls. The
first installment will appear in the
REDWOOD GAZETTE next week. Any
one, who ever met the genial old col
onel, will smile at the first thought of
him. His voice, you will remember,
is away up in &c" and his love of fun
reaches Co." He is as full of anecdot-
es as a Comanche Indian is of yell.
His military record, his wit, his law
practice all tend to make hin known
as one of the most distinctive charact-
ers of the state. In the spring of 1878
the writer worked for the colonel on
his fine farm in Lincoln county. We
walked behind the seeder all that
spring over all the cultivated portion
of that farm. That was wet spring.
The writer was fresh from Chicago
and ready to build up fortune on
the great prairies of Minnesota.
While awaiting the distribution of the
mail one day in the village of Mimi
eota, the colonel, who had lock box,
was seen to draw from his box copy
of the Pioneer Press. A hasty
glance showed that it was marked
copy. The colonel looked around and,
espying the writer, said, "Say, young
man, can you read?" Upon being
answered in the affirmative, he told
us to get up on one of Mr.. Yager's
counters and after bidding the crowd
10 keep still and listen to some his
tory" he handed up the paper and
struck an attitude of attention. We
read the article in our best style and
was highly complimented by the col
onel. The article in question was an
account of how the colonel and not
Col. Sheehan rescued Fort Ridgely
DUNG the Indian War. The Col. was
so pleased with the reading tnat he
hired us on the spot for Is cents day.
He afterwards made it one dollar a
day because we made his son John
hustle to keep up to the seeder with
his dragging. The first night that we
slept in the colonePs house was made
memorable by the colonePs address
to the muses. upon perceiving hair
pin between the sheets of the bed. It
was masterful and high-keyed effort
and would have brought honor to a
Webster or Calhoun. 1t will be a
great treat to read the colonePs remin-
isences and The GAZETTE is to be con-
graduated upon having secured the
same,

THROUGH BY DAYLIGHT.
A Trip to St. Paul and Return all
in a Day.

1t is something new for a citizen of
Redwood Falls to go to st. Paul in
the morning, have several hours for
business and pleasure, and return the
same evening. Prior to the recent
change in the railway service the
scheme was unknown, and business
men hardly dreamed that it could be
possible, But when the Northwestern,
about three weeks since put into op-
GRAFTON the new time table the scheme
became a reality. Probably the first
round trip in a day was made by
representative of this paper last Fri
day. Arising at just the break of day,
he took the sos o'clock train, and
conducted by Tom Hughes, enjoyed
an unusually swift ride between Red
wood Falls and Sleepy Eye. and two
minutes after reaching that station
took the fast train from Tracy, which
speeds along at the rate of about IS
miles per hour. A special St. Paul car,
lighted by gas, richly furnished
throughout, and as easy riding as the
car manufacturing concerns turns out,
is attached to the train, and switched
off at Kasota, where, a moment later,
a special fast train from St. James
makes its appearance, bitches on to
the special car, and goes laundering
off towards St. Paul at high rate of
speed, yet hardly noticeable owing to
the easy riding cars. 1t reaches that
city at 10:45, and last Friday gave the
GAZETTE representative two hours for
business and dinner. an hour to par
ticipate in parade, and two hours
and half at a special Press club ben
eft matinee, leaving the opera house
at 4:3O, at the conclusion of the per-
Torrance, and while en- route for the
union depot, transacting little bust
ness, taking the train at O'Clock, and
coming through to Redwood Falls
without stopping, arriving here at
1850 in the evening.
The service is certainly to be COM
mended, and the Northwestern Off
Gals are entitled to great deal of
praise for giving the people of this
section such excellent service. They
certainly have the right to expect a
liberal patronage, and in order to hold
the service Redwood Falls will have
to give the Northwestern a good share
Of it's traffic. Sleepy Eye, New Ulm
st. Peter, Mankato, and and all the
towns along the line, are just as much
interested in holding this special SER
vice as is Redwood Falls, and the

goodly amounts Of substantial remind
ers. The Ancient Rathhaus Of sAlt
Wien" is no more but in it's place is q
green lawn. The Chinese theatre, Java
village, the Moorish Palace, and the
home of Billy Knox's beauties have
fallen before the vandals. In fact the
only buildings remaining are portions
of the German village, Donegal Castle,
the Vienna Cafe, and last but not least,
the Ferris wheel.
The Midway does not at this time
present very pleasing aspect, but the
South Park Commissioners intend to
make it beauty spot. The lakes in
Washington and jackson Parks are to
be connected by broad canal running
through the center of the Plaisance.
On either side of this canal there will
be drive and foot paths making this a
very pleasing addition to the already
Incompatible park system of Chicago.
The Exposition grounds proper
have Jared better and though they
look rather dilapidated with railroad
tracks everywhere, unkept lawns and
drives, charred timbers and heaps of
rubbish, still, with the exception of the
State buildings the general appearance
is about the same. The Fine Arts
building, the temporary home of the
Field Columbian Museum, is to be
thrown open to the public May LIST.
The other buildings will probably be
simply memories of their past grand
eur before another year rolls by.
Chicago does not and never did
want the buildings preserved, and all
will be heartily glad when the last
one is gone. It was magnificent pic
ture while it lasted but then all things
must pass away. W.T.. CHoLLAR,
Chicago, III.

1t Wifi Be Interesting.

Marshall News-Messenger: The
REDWOOD GAZETTE has concluded ar
engagements with Col. McPhail for
that gentleman to write series of art
icles on the early history of that place.
They will undoubtedly be interesting,
as everything is which the colonel
writes, but further than this there
will likely be considerable spice in his
articles that will stir up antagonism,
for the history of Redwood Falls
must include the history of the Indian
outbreak and it's management, about
which there has been from time to
time much controversy, notably that
aroused by the papers of Capt r. H.
Chittenden, formely of Marshall. Col.
McPhail has in his possession all the
original orders of the war and state
department, for which he has been
offered a handsome sum, but the old
Colonel is shrewd enough to know
their value and Importance, and when
he gets through with them they will
probably go to the historical archives.
Col. McPhail, when he refused to part
with his orders, was made remuner-
alive offer to take them to St. Paul
and assist in preparing an authentic
history of the Sioux war, but in the
peculiar and quaint manner only his
own, he declined the invitation.

Of more weight, reach and training than
his antagonist, in twenty-four-foot
ring near this city early this morning,
he will retain the worlds championship
and nicely vanquish rival Of the black
race.
The fight was a beauty. Old time
sports and prize ring veterans say there
has been nothing like il in recent years.
The steamer Lexington left Ironton
last night at 10 o'clock with the princi-
pals, their seconds, backers, trainers
and $50 spectators. They steamed up
the river slowly, touching at Ashland,
Catlettsburg, Ceredo, Kenova and other

The Mary L. Hatcher, another boat,
took a special crowd out OF Ashland
and Catlettsburg. A short distance be-
low this CITY the boats landed. All the
people were put of and
A TwENTY-FOUR FOOT RING
was quickly improvised Prof. Upham,
we'll known in pugilistic circles, Was
OConnor's second, and Keiser, a cOlored
pugilist OF note, seconded Miller The
fight began at 1:15, gasoline lamps be-
ing placed so as to afford a good light.
Six ounce gloves we're used.

times smashing him against the ropes
and doing fearful execution at short
range. At the beginning OF the eighth
round O'Connor seemed to fresheD up.
He got straight, hard and telling
right handler in on the black mans nose
and from that on the fight was his.
IN THE TWELFTH ROUND,
.O'Connor went at Miller TO settle the
contest. he rushed him against the
ropes, and getting his head in chancery
punched until his antagonist broke
away, staggered out under the ropes
and fell on the sod, throwing up the
fight himself.
The Irish lad was badly punished,
but his gameness saved him In the
early stage. OConnor won 500 purse
and his hackers carried away several
hundred dollars.
There was no attempt at police Inter
ference. No one except those at the
head OF the affair knew where the fight
would take place, and all taken aboard
the boats were first sworn to secrecy.
1t was a well managed affair.

WILL BE REPORTED ON TUESDAY.
The Senate Finance Committee Making
Good Roadway on the Tariff Bit


WASHINGTON, D. c., March l6.-Sen-
ators both Democratic and Republican
OF the Committee on Finance express
the opinion that the bill will be reported
Tuesday next No agreement has been
reached but the opinion is the result OF
the progress made in the full commit
tee.
The entire time from 10 a. m. until
$3.50 D. m. was devoted 10 the methods
OF collecting in both the tariff and the
internal revenue parts Of the bill and
this part OF the work was practically
completed.
When the Republican members OF the
committee withdrew the Democratic
mem bers consulted the suggestions
made by Republican members. There
are indications that several changes
will be made.
The committee will take up the
schedule tomorrow, and will devote
itself to paragraphs which either Dem
ocrRts or Republicans think should be
changed.
The Appearances are that the changes
will include the transfer OF \ numb Of
articles to the free list which we're made
dutiable before the sugar duty was
agreed upon. The Treasury department
estimates show that the bill will give q
larger revenue than is needed, which
will give opportunity TO make a greater
number OF articles free.
