TALK ABOUT THE TOWN.

that it was coal, so persistently has he
adhered to his theory that there was
no coal in the state, says the Window
Reporter. But gradually theory is
giving way to practical knowledge
and evidences grow stronger every
day that there are rich coal fields just
north OF us in the adjoining county.
St. Peter Herald: The greatest
practical joker of the year is the man
who finds a new mine of wealth at
Redwood Falls each day. We wond-
er if Julius is the wag who is playing
it on the people. The last week finds
Redwood in possession of asbestos,
mixed paint, diamonds, aluminium,
sapphire, ruby, and crystal mines,
cocaine and cinchona fields, and they
now talk of discovering gutta percha
and natural gas. What next?
Echo Enterpriselets: The Red
wood GAZETTE has new dress and
came out this week as 12-page pa
per with handsome covers. The GA
zETTE is strictly in it. * F. G..
Brown has gone to Redwood Falls to
organize branch of the Sioux Falls
COOPERATIVE Loan and Saving AS
ISOLATION.
There is now some show for Red
wood Falls to secure better railway
facilities, says the Belview Independ-
ent. There is no doubt but what the
NJ. & St. L. will be built through our
county seat next year. 1t has always
been a mystery why this was not done
when the road was first built.
Sever Dahl, living about II miles
south of Belview, lost his barn, gran
airy, hay and a pile of new lumber be-
longing to his brother, by fire week
ago last Saturday. John Rollick set
fire in slough and owing to the
strong wind he lost control of it, and
above is the result. Mr.. Rollick paid
for the lumber.
Sringfeld Advance: Cottonwood
is turning out ghost stories to match
Redwood's gold stories. Southwest
ern Minnesota will yet be a land of
romance.
Window Citizen: Coal, asbestos, and
gold have been found in Redwood Go.
What next! Probably diamonds.
pearls, silver, oil, natural gas, and
perhaps some flowing springs of
whiskey, Wards Imminent, or the
elixier of life.
Marshall Messenger: New that the
M. & st. L. receivership would expire
soon was received in Redwood Falls
with considerable satisfaction. A
year ago officers of the road visited
that city looking over the route from
Morton there. They were favorably
impressed, but could not promise any
new route until the road was out of
the hands of the receiver.
Journal: Redwood Falls now claims
discovery of plumbago. Somebody
cut open lead pencil.
Granite Tribune: If there is any
thing not found in Redwood county
just name it. Gold is the latest to be
discovered and report says they dig it
out in chunks, fill bucket and go off
satisfied.
Rainy Lake aud Redwood Falls are
getting no small amount of advertis-
ing, says the Granite Falls Tribune.
A stranger would be puzzled to know
which place to go to invest in specula-
tons. Printers ink has made many a
town that would be unheard of had it
not been frequently mentioned.
Sleepy Eye Dispatch: VIM. Pfaen-
der, of New Ulm, who was member
of the jury that tried Madigan, says
that he read John A. Torrey's letter
in last weeks Dispatch and that it is
correct in its reference to himself ex-
cept that he did not really give in for
conviction until only a few minutes
before the jury came in with its YER
dict. Mr.. Pfaender further states that
had he known then what he knows
now about the law and the defendants
liability he would have stood out for
ever against a verdict of guilty.
Further Mr.. F., says four of the jury
we're for aquittal at one time and that
q fifth was almost persuaded that it
was right to render such q verdict.
