Rev. Sinclair was called upon for a

On behalf of the press of Redwood

on behalf the Sunday school, the teach
ers and officers. The two years with
Mr.. Hanscom had been pleasant to
all, and Mr.. King hoped that it would
be as pleasant for the year to come.
We believe that we have great field
of work, and we know that you will
assist us in the work. Walter Jen-
nings, on behalf of the Epworth
Guards, told Mr.. and Mrs. Hanscom
that they would find no warmer well
come than that given by the Guards.
He presented them with a basket of
flowers as token of love from the
Guards.
Here came Mr.. Hanscom's inning.
It was a pleasure for himself and wife
to make their home in Redwood Falls
for another year. II might have made
a change, but I had no other inten-
tons than to remain. My pastorship
has been exceptionally pleasant and
interesting and I feel that we have q
glorious work before us. I found q
willing response to the need of new
church, and under the most discour-
aging circumstances you have never
withheld your efforts to make mine a
success. By many kind Offices myself
and wife would have been deeply
touched if we had left you. Iwant to
say that we have formed the most
pleasant acquaintance and relation

be for you, and when the great book
is sealed we shall hope that it will re-
cord the pleasant relations with you.
The young people have always want

like, and have always acted in har-

inspiration. There has been no line
or division among the different soci-
cites Of the church, and all have
worked tremendously. Greater things
will be expected of you in the future,

RECEIVED THEIR PASTOR.
A Warm Reception to Rev. and Mrs.
L. L. HansCom.

Rev. IL. Hanscom and Mrs. Hans
com, of the Methodist church, were re-
ceived by their congregation and
friends in the new lecture room of the
new Methodist church last Friday ev-
ening. They we're welcomed back to
this city with all the warmth and en-
thusiasm that congregation and host
of friends could manifest. Following
the receiving exercises lunch was
served, and a literary and musical pro-
gramme INDUCED in.
1t was nearly $50 o'clock when the
audience was raped to order in the
lecture room. Mrs. A. E. King called
upon Judge Bowers for few remarks.
Ciceronian like, he advanced to the
centre of the room and addressed Mr..
and Mrs. Hanscom, who at once arose
to their feet. Judge Bowers delivered
the first address of welcome. He, as
we'll as the remainder of the congre-
cation, were more than pleased to have
them back. He hoped and trusted
that their return would be as great a
blessing to them as to the church, and
as great as it has been in the past.
He hoped that it would be as profit
able in the line of new converts as it
was in the past. E. r. Houck well
coined them back on behalf of the
Epworth League, in which, he said
Mr.. Hanscom had always given aid
and was ever present. Mi. Houck hoped
that the coming year would be even
greater in work than the past. A. E.

GONE TO OTHER CHIMES.
Ed. Devereaux Reported Having
Jumped $1,000 of Debts.

r. E. Devereaux, otherwise known
as Ed, has skipped, according to re-
ports at Belview last Monday. J. M.
Thompson, merchant at that place,
together with Sheriff Blethen and At
torney Pierce, attached everything
that Devereaux had left behind him,
in order to satisfy claim that Mr..
Thompson held against Devereaux.
Rumors were afoat on the streets of
Belview that Devereaux's total indebt-
edness would reach $1,000, while the
more conservative business man of
that town put it at between 5000 and
5000. The amount is certainly way
up in the thousands, and is due ma
chine men, merchants, threshing help,
personal friends, of which Devereaux
could secure any credit.
The fight is said to have occurred
about two weeks ago, just after the
races at Granite Falls, where Mr..
Devereaux is said to have lost several
hundred dollars, backing up Van V
against Stratford in the celebrated
stallion race, in which Stratford nearly
distanced his competitor. It is sup
posed that he went into South Dakota,
and from there would leave for the
Canadian lines. Rumor has it that he
took in the neigborhood of nearly
ISL 500 in ready cash with him, but
this rumor is not recognized by even
his creditors. Rumor also has it that
the ex-wife of an ex-prize fighter went
with him, but this is not confirmed.
His brother, Stewart Noyes, when
seen on the streets of Belview last
Monday, stated that he believed Ed.
had gone out into South Dakota,
where a party who was owing him
about $500, was threshing, with the
hopes that he would make the collec-
ton. Stewart felt sure that Ed. would
return, but in a discouraging tone he
remarked: They are cleaning him
out of everything out at the farm at
the present time"
Devereaux has, up to year age, en-
joyed good reputation for paying
debts. He has been able to get credit
at the banks here whenever he wanted
the same. But he became loose in his
business methods about that time, and
credit was refused almost everywhere
Since that time he has become more
reckless, and preferred taking in a
good game of base ball or horse
race, and betting on either, to carry
ing on his farming or threshing oper-
atoms.
Some of his creditors here believe
that he will return, while the more
susceptible, realizing that he is in a
deep abyss of debt, have given up all
hopes of seeing him again.

THE GAZETTE.
James B. Robinson real estate deal
er and candidate for Judge of Pro-
bate, has probably one of the most re-
markable war histories of any of the
old soldiers in Redwood county. He
was born in Livingston county, New
York, on farm, in 1910, attending
school and the academy at Rogers
vile, that State, until he was q years
of age, when he entered the service OF
Uncle Sam in the civil war, enlisting
in the 85th Regiment of Infantry, OF
New York State. He was discharged
Dec. 31st, 1863, for the purpose of re-
enlisting in the same company, with
which he remained until the close of
the war, June n, 1866, on which day
he was mustered out at New Berne,
North Carolina. During the four years
of his service he was on the Pennsyl
vania campaign, in the Battles OF
Yorktown, Williamsburg, Fair Oaks,
the Battle of the Wilderness, with
Burnside when that famous general
made his advance, in the battle of
Goldsboro, the battle Of Kingston and
Little Wnshington,a at Plymouth, North
Carolina, where he was captured and
taken to that horrible prison pen, An
jacksonville, in which he spent five
months, during which time the 81 men
of his regiment captured at Plymouth
had dwindled down to Is. by reason
of the scurvy and disease of the pen,
Sherman's march into the south caused
the Confederate government to re-
move the prisoners to Charlestown
and Florence, Mr.. Robinson remaining
in those prisons for three months, he
being paroled on Dec. 20, 1854. at
which time he was made first lieuten
ant of his company, and was such
when the war closed. Two hundred
of his regiment lie buried at Ander-
sonville, and the 85th Regiment is
considered one of the hardest fighting
regiments in New York State.
At the close of the war Mr.. Robin
son returned home and attended school
for a year, when he, accompanied by
his brother, went to Port Huron Mich,
where they engaged in the grocery
business, in which they continued six
years. In 1872 Mr.. Robinson came to
Redwood Falls, and remained on q
farm near here until the fall of 1877,
when he was elected register of deeds,
which Office he held for four years.
Since that time he has been in the real
estate business, and it is stereotyped
remark that customer once is GUS
toner always with him. He is consid-
cred one of the most upright and hon
orable men in Redwood county. He
has been named by three parties for
the Office of Judge of Probate this
fall, and if he is elected he will fill
that office with credit to the county.
Mr.. Robinson was married in 1877
to Miss Adel Chapman, daughter of
E. O. Chapman, of this city, and they
have two children.

served.
In studying tho service Of the an
dent dinner table, the amornt Of
ceremony which invested the meals OF
our forefathefs Is one Of the first
things which strikes us--a pcculiarl-
y, however, which is easily account
d for when we Iecollect that, during
The middle ages, men separated from
one another In rank 80 widely as were
the feudal baron and his retainers
we're accustomed to eat together In
common, O practice which could
;capely fail to have resulted 10 tho
growth of an elaborate system Of ctr
quette, says the Quarterly Review.
The ancient fashion Of arranging
the tables for meal is still preserved
in college halls, where the high ia
bic" stands transversely on a raised
platform at the upper end OF the
room. 1t was tho further sideof this
table OF dais" which at q feudal
feast was alone occupied, the master
Of the house and his chief guests
thus emphatically dining in public be-
fore his vassals Everything pertain
ing to the service of this table was
conducted with ritual of almost &C.
clesiastical minuteness. At a time
when, from the crown vassale to the
petty baron, mans safety and con-
sequence depended on the number of
followers he could muster, the greater
part of the revenue OF an estate was
spent in the support Of retainers and
hangers-on, and, THERE being thus no
lack Of service, the various duties Of
q household were much subdivided.
The modern term, "butler's pam
try marks the coalescence of two
offices formerly distinct, when the
butler or "boteler" presided over the
buttery, or "botelerie," and the pan
ter" or painter. over the pantry or
bread closet. The duties Of carver
and cupbearer were held to be very
honorable ones, and could be dis
charged by men of high rank, and In
great establishments the butler, the
panther, the porter, and the officers
Of all the several household depart
ments had each his own contingent

Horse-hair Snakes.

The so-called hair snake Is only a
worm, and its scientific name is Cor.
dius aquaticus. The name of the genus
is from the old name "Gordian Knot"
because the worms twist themselves
into knots rather difficult to olsen
tangle. The specific name aquaticus
refers to water, because they are us
ually found in water when fully
grown. OF course they are not trans
formed hairs, for nature is not doing
that kind of business in these DAYS of
scientific research. These hair worms
lay their eggs in damp or wet places.
and when they hatch the young larvn
hunt about for crickets, grassho .pers,
ground beetles, or similar large in
scots and when an opportunity pre-
sents enter these their victims and
feed on the contents of their bodies.
but do not kill their host, although
they may keep them in rather feeble
condition just as internal worms do
horses, dogs, and other large animals.
Late in summer and when these hair
snakes or worms have reached matur-
ity, they are on the alert for a good
opportunity for leaving their victims.
and if the latter happen to fall into
pond, water trough, or even be caught
out in heavy shower, the worms
hear the splash and then come out
We have often gathered beetles, crick-
cts, and similar insects, and, by throw
ing them into vessel of water, been
enabled to witness the escape of these
hair snakes from their bodies. OF
course, those who are ever anxious to
believe in miraculous productions will
still cling to the idea that hairs turn
into hair snakes. New York Sun.

A MONEY CRUSH.


1t is hard to fancy so many silver
dollars piled together that you would
be crushed if they fell upon you, isn't
it? But that is just what nearly hap
pened to the men in the Philadelphia
Mint who are busy just now counting
$50, 900, 900. One of the storage
vaults containing that sum, which has
been closed four years, has recently
been opened, and the "counters" were
set to work. 1t was soon discovered
that the bags, in each of which were
$1,000, had rotted badly, and many
would not hold. So, knowing of the
danger if that tremendous mass of
silver should start to move, the men
built strong dam across one end of
the vault for their protection, and then
went to work, feeling quite secure.
While some of them, however, were
below the dam Weighing the bags, and
others were on top picking them out,
one of the top men stepped on rotten
bag; it burst and all the men jumped,
breaking more of the weak bags. They
gave way by the half dozen, and a
cataract of about 100000 silver dol
lars poured over the dam on the clerks
below. Everybody ran for his life,
but fortunately the big mass of mill
ions was not started, and nobody was
hurt, though there was great excite
ment and fright for few minutes. =
