CnarloS lOOer mas been connecting
the residences of George Dickinson
and H. A. Baldwin on Wyoming with
the city water works.
"Sundries for Suckers" is the rath-
er clever and suggestive sign over a
lot of nursing bottles in the window
of Mel. Hitchcock's drug store.
Rev. John Stafford D. D. will preach
in the Methodist church next Sunday
evening at 8 o'clock. DR.. Stafford is
an able and interesting speaker, and
no doubt will be greeted with large
and appreciative audiance.
Maj. M. E. Powell has about the
prettiest lawn in the city. He has re-
Gently purchased another lot just west
of his house, filled it up to grade, and
seeded it with lawn grass, giving him as
large lawn as there is in this section
of the State.
Sleepy Eye Herald: Some fellow
sent in an order to Minneapolis sup
ply house recently and forgot to sign
his name to the letter. 1t would be
good thing if all would make the same
mistake. This idea of sending away
for goods when just as good goods
and just as low prices (for cash) can
be obtained here by people, reminds
us of an incident in Redwood Falls
recently. Let us try and patronize
each other. In this manner a ready
market will be found for butter, eggs
and other produce.
Granite Falls Tribune: Hon.
Charles E. Flandrau, of St. Paul, will
give the readers of the REDWOOD Ga
zErrE his early recollections of the
history of that county and section.
Col. Sam McPhail will give his and

canvassers at work in the field. Eth,

Moony's pasture, 4 miles northwest of
town, died on the 10th instant under
suspicious circumstances. They were
all attacked alike and died in great
agony. Goodenow & Winter had
valuable one among the number.
They made an investigation of the
pasture and found several spots where
the grass was dead and around these
the horses congregated-seeming to
enjoy the supposed deadly vendure.
A quantity of the earth and grass was
removed and brought to town where
it is being analysed.
At the Episcopal church last Sun
day evening Rev. Henry Beer dis
coursed upon the right of Episcopal
ministers of the United States to pro-
nounce dissolution. He first said that
the church did not claim for it's clergy
the power to forgive sins. God alone
could do that. In Numbers XVI we
read that Korah, Dathan and Adrian
were punished with death for presum-
ing to claim the priesthood. In
Chronicles we read that Uzziah, the
King, was stricken with leprosy for at
tempting to burn incense, he being
only a layman. These examples show
that God has jealousy guarded the
Office of the priesthood from intrusion
by unauthorized persons, and God
never changes. Coming to the new
testament. we find Christ appointed a,
ministry with power to add to their
number and appoint their successors.
These ordained men he commissioned
to baptize and teach men to observe
all things that Christ had taught them.
To these men he gave power. The
apostles do not seem to have under
stood that this gave them power to
forgive sins of their own power. They
never said that they forgave sins.
This declaration of dissolution coming
from an unauthorized ambassador of
Christ, is very different thing from
the unauthorized statement of an un-
authorized person. There is as much
difference as between the angry pro-
tests and threats of the mob of the
United States against foreign state,
and the formal claims and statements
of an ambassador of this government.
The claims of the mob has no weight
at all, but the ambassadors claims are
important, for they will be enforced
by the whole power of the nation.
The Episcopal clergyman, as an auth
orized agent CT Christ, declares to the
