The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1894-11-15

Chief Crooks has been seriously i'll
during the past week.
Where can find it? Why! at the
10 Cent Store, one door west of post
Office, of course.
The annex Of F. W. Philbrick's on
Washington avenue was entered and
goods stolen from the same during
the night on Monday last. The bur-
glar or burglars gained an entrance
by passing through an open window
into the cellar, and then cutting hole
through the trap door so that hand
could pass through and remove the
brace which held the trap in its place.
After getting into the store they
helped themselves to hosiery and I'M
derwear and other goods, but to what
extent is not known. The police have
their eye on suspected individuals.
At the nickel readings last Wednes-
day evening the audience was even
larger than at the first event, and
while the programme was not SO long
it was excellent. Earl Byram and
Fred Dripps gave musical sketch,
Aggie Barley read a selection, Josie
Thune appeared in recitation, Mat
|
tie Beard in vocal selection, Angelo
Bissell in "Lincoln at Gettysburg"
followed by piano solo by Miss Eta
Baker. Tom Finn then read, after
which Prof. Torrens and Prof. Fred
Warner entertained the audience with
a high school chemistry apparatus,
showing the power of air, and the
feats were loudly applauded. Misses
Chadbourne, Brainerd and Lutte Rob
inson appeared in readings, while Eel
ma Thune and Elsie Curtis wound up
the performance with Duet.
Postmaster Laird scored a big one
for the government during the past
two weeks. The GAZETTE sent out
with its regular issue the supplement
containing the pictures of all the Re-
publican candidates for State offices,
without stating that it was supple
ment to this paper, or without having
a date upon the same, which should
have been even with that of the paper.
He insisted on postage to the amount
of one cent apiece for the supplements,
while the publishers carried an appeal
to the third assistant postmaster gen
eral, depositing the amount of post
age claimed by the postmaster pend
ing the decision. Mr. Laird was mott
fed on Tuesday that his decision was
upheld. Inasmuch as there were in
the neighborhood of 200 papers in the
State sending out the supplement and
the GAZETTE probably the only one on
which the postmaster registered pro-
test against passing as second-class
matter, Mr.. Laird has feather in his
hand to wave over the heads of his
Democratic colleagues in this State.
A Minneapolis special to this paper
Tuesday announced the wedding OF
Winona P. Watson, formerly of this
: city, and otherwise known as "Miss
!, Dottie Watson" to Clarence r. Smith
: a book-keeper in the extensive hard
: ware house of Janney, ~Semple e. Co.
