Over at Jackson they have COM
menced an advertising fax 4, la Red
wood Falls, but the fake is too old to
be of any more benefit to Jackson
than the same scheme has been to
Redwood, says the Luverne Herald.
Like that of Redwood, the Jackson
fake commences with a coal mine,
and from this will take in all the
known minerals concea' ed in the
earth.
The Globe has the following: John
L. Townley has prepared an appeal in
the case of MINI. Madigan, of Red
wood Falls, who was sent to the peni-
Tertiary couple of years ago, convict
ed of appropriating the funds of his
client. Madigan was an attorney, aud
was charged with various crooked
practices. He has been in the peni-
Tertiary for nearly two years, but the
papers will be signed by him at the
penitentiary tomorrow preparatory to
having the supreme court take up his
case for review.
Under date of Dec. 22d Charles G..
Chollar writes and sends the GAZETTE
a map of Florida. On the latter, with
a pen is drawn a line from Haines
City to AvoniP Park, Florida. The pen
mark represents proposed railroad,
Charlie naming it "Frostproof Rail-
road" evidently in a jocular mood.
The distance is 40 miles, and Mr..
Chollar adds that the people of Avon
Park became tired of waiting for
Windy City capitalists to complete
the road. and are going to build it
themselves. He also adds that the
proposed new road, which is yet but a
dream, will throw thousands of acres
open to settlers.
The Granite Falls Journal in speak
ing of probable bridge appropriations
at the coming session of the Minneso-
ia legislature, says: "Of course there
will be appropriations asked from all
ovor the State but bridge at this
point must be built in the near future
and State aid is necessary to construct
one that will serve the public. The
Minnesota river from it's source to
Redwood Falls has no bridges except
the one here ard that has seen it's best
days. An appropriation will be asked
to aid the two counties to construct
an iron bridge" The journal is mis-
taken, as there are bridges across the
Minnesota river north of Delhi and
north of Belview.
Henry Simondet has a water sys-
tenn under way on his farm, which is
quite original, and of his own inven-
ton. He lives several hundred feet
from the bluff of the Minnesota river.
In this bluff he discovered a spring
with excellent flowing capacity Hen
ny has PLACED tank, holding 60 bar
rels of water at the foot of the bluff,
into which the water from the spring
passes. This tank is connected with
his residence by 1850 feet of one inch
and 300 feet of three-quarter inch
pipe. Mr.. Simondet proposes to COZ
meet all of his outbuildings in the
same manner. The regulation faucet
is used, and all that is necessary is to
turn the faucet in order to shut the
water off or start it running. The
spring is inexhaustible.
