The United Workmen have set the
date for their annual social and dance
for Friday evening of next week, Feb.
"a, instead of the 18th, as announced
last week. All brethren in good stand
ing in the order, with their ladies, will
be welcomed, and invitations will also
be issued to number of our citizens
outside the lodge circle. The good
times had at these yearly reunions
heretofore is a sufficient guaranty of
the completeness of the arrangements
for the coming event.
Mr.. Winthrop Allison, of St. Paul,
who has been conducting the Union
meeting in the Presbyterian church,
left on Tuesday morning for his home.
The meetings closed on Monday ev-
ening. There we're large audiences
every evening, and the leaders of the
churches are pleased with the results.
The meeting for men on Sunday af-
ternoon showed the Evangelist at his
very best in logical acumen, and in
that meeting there was undoubtedly
great impression made. There are
many in this town who would welcome
Mr.. Allison again.
The ladies of Charity Chapter, Or
der of Eastern Star, gave very pleas
ant social to Masons, their wives, and

A change in one of our business
houses occurred last Thursday morn
ing when Chauncev G. Peck closed out
his drug store on Washington avenue
to Edward A. Luscher, the smiling
young pharmacist, who has gained
his knowledge of the drug business
back of Mr.. Peck's counter. Eddie,
as he is familiarly known, is an old
Redwood boy, having lived here near
ly all the time since his birth, ,and with
that rare German-American tact,
passed through the common schools
rapidly, and acquired his knowledge
of the pharmacy business in such
short time. that after two years back
of Mr.. Peck's counter he passed sue
cessful examination before the State
board. He is pleasing young fellow
who makes friends wherever he goes.
Mr.. Peck has been in business here
since 1888. He proposes to remain
here until spring, at least.
The mems meeting. conducted by
Evangelist Allison last Sunday after
noon, was the occasion for some very
plain warnings on the part of the
speaker against the evil tendencies of
the masculine heart. The text was
taken from the 9th chapter of Eek
iel, which portrays stately ship go
ing out from port in all the pride of
ancient magnificence, only to be brok-
en- by the east wind at last, because
cher rowers" had taken the ship over
dangerous courses. The speaker typi-
fed the evil appetites and passions of
men as the growers" that are sure to
shipwreck them at last, without divine
guidance. He specifically scored par
ents for not enlightening their children
in regard to their physical as we'll as
moral and religious needs, and con-
demned indulgence in cigarettes and
tobacco in all it's forms, as we'll as in
toxicants, and put himself on record
against yellow-covered literature,
dancing and the theatre.
