TO CELEBRATE.
Redwood Falls Citizens Will Cele-
brate the Glorious Fourth.

That Redwood Falls will approph-
ately and periodically celebrate the
18th of July seems to be certain at the
present writing. Small bills have al
ready been distributed announcing
the intention of citizens to celebrate
the Natal day.
A meeting of citizens was held at
the hose house in the Second ward
last Saturday evening and all of those
present were of the opinion that not
withstanding the hard times Redwood
Falls should do something by way of
celebrating the 4th; that no celebra-
ton having been held last year it was
due to celebrate this year.
A committee was appointed to can
vass business men and citizens with a
view to crystallizing the sentiment
and also to ascertain just how much
money could be raised for the pur-
pose. This committee consisted of H.
G. Ackmann, Geo. Lechner and w. L.
Pierce, the latter being a substitute
for G. Fred Thompson, who found it
impossible to serve.
The committee made the rounds
or rather part of the rounds-last
Monday and while the spirit was
slightly depressed little enthusiasm

naming the different ways those who
do not use the weed land especially
ladies) were disgustingly amazed by
having it forced upon them and into
their faces at every turn.
The next thing, local option, by
Mrs. P. L. Coughlan, very able pa
per was read and discussed. One
point brought out was the injustice to
farmers, this imposing taxes upon
them without their voice in the matter.
She related how the w. G. T. U. of
Marshall had circulated petitions
among the farmers in that vicinity,
and ascertained who were in favor of
license or no license in Marshall. No
license carried by a large majority.
The farmers about Sacred Heart also
circulated petitions to this effect that
if the village of Sacred Heart licensed
saloons at the last election, not one
bit of grain would be marketed there
and not one cent paid into their Golfer.
This petition was signed by 400 farm
ers thus compelling Sacred Heart to
vote mo license" to keep the town
alive, quite contrary to the statement
we SO often hear, that if we vote sa-
looms out of our fair city the business
life of Redwood Falls will be dead.
A vote was here taken by the conven-
ton to send these petitions through
out the country round and see who
among our farmers want the saloons
and who not, and submit it to the
council so as to forever silence this OBJ
lection that our city would be dead
without this abominable curse upon
her.

injected into the question, found near
ly everybody seen ready and willing
to contribute. Over $500 was raised
that day, and the committee reports
that not one-half of those who ought
to contribute had been seen.
The committee however, felt justi-
fed in stating to The GAZETTE that
Redwood Falls would celebrate.
Watch for particulars and pro-
grammes later.
Among the attractions will probably

w. C. T. U. CONVENTION.


w. c. T. U. for the 9Th district of
Minnesota was held in the NJ. E.
church at Springfield, May 22d and
23d. The number of delegates was
not large but I doubt if more earnest,
consecrated, self Sacrificing body of
women ever met in convention.
Meeting called to order at 2 p. M,
Mrs. Sherman of Sleepy Eye, presi-
dent, in the chair. After the usual
devotional exercises reports from
superintendent of the different de-
partments we're called, and many and
interesting we're the words we listened
to from our sister unions of good be-
ing accomplished all along the lines.
The evening was occupied by an ad-
dress of welcome by Mrs. Wilson of
Springfield and responded to by Mrs.
w. B. King, of Redwood Falls. Mrs
North, State superintendent of L. T.
L. work, spoke words of greeting re-
sponded to by Rev. S. Kemerer
and others of Springfield. Thursday
after the usual opening exercises, a
paper on the tobacco habit was read
by Ruth Barnes of Granite Falls, fol-
lowed by spirited discussion. Mrs.
North said the most grievous thing
about the tobacco habit was the abuse
of the rights of others, illustrated by

What fiend had suddenly thrown this
beautiful woman, this queen Of mar
tyrs, into his keeping, with death star
ing her in the face, and he perhaps to
inflict the penalty? Why, if he must
suffer this turning Of the tables by fate,
could not the victim have been q man,
some coarse creature who would die
like brute? And why had it not come
upon him before love had introduced
him to that instructive delicacy, that
gentleness, those finer heart impulses OF
woman?
20 Godr.' he murmured, suppose
suppose she were-Laura?'
He could not bear to look and could
not turn away. For few moments the
two gazed upon each other, while the
woman's natural feminine discernment
told her that she was pitied; told her
something of what Maynard suffered;
that her enemy was really her friend.
She gave him a faint smile in recogni-
ton.
There was something in the smile
that was even harder for him to endure
than had she shed tear. Hers was q
winning smile, and her position was so
desperate. She was so brave, so ready
to sacrifice for her struggling people.
She bore her trial with such gentleness,
yet with such firmness.
She was woman, and she must die.
He turned almost fiercely and strobe
back to his tent Reaching it, he found
the man who had brought the prisoner
waiting for him. The soldier saluted
and handed him another envelope.
"Why did you not give me this with
the other?' asked Maynard, surprised.
II handed it to you, colonel, but you
did not see it. -
Maynard stared at the man without
making any reply. He had been preoc-
cupied, deprived of his ordinary facul-
ties Opening the envelope, he took
out small bundle Of papers, on the
back of which was Endorsed, Inter
cepted dispatches found on the person
Of Elizabeth Baggs, captured Sept.
-, 1862"
Without looking at their contents he
dismissed the man who had brought
them, and turning went into his tent.
It was noon before the courier sent to
announce the capture of Miss Baggs
rode up to Colonel Maynard's headquar-

PATRIOTIC PREACHER.
Rev. John Sinclair breaches the
Memorial Sermon.

Memorial services were held at the
court house last Sunday, Rey. John
Sinclair preaching the sermon. The
choir was composed of Mesdames
Philbrick, johnson and Hunter, and
Messrs. johnson and Peabody. Sew
eral house plants decorated the judges
desk. The service opened by singing
the doxology and prayer, after which
the choir rendered an anthem followed
by reading of scripture by Rev. Hans
com. Another song after which Rev.
Hanscom offered prayer and the choir
sang an anthem. After reading the
scripture and another song by the
choir Rev. John Sinclair delivered his
sermon.
His subject was taken from Exodus
1926; "And it shall come to pass,
when your children shall say unto
you, What mean you by this service?"
At this time children we're asking
"what mean you by this memorial SER
vice. He thought that the decorat-
ing of the graves most effective of all
the exercises. He would build one
grand memorial monument with a
broad base, whose top would reach
the sky and on it he would inscribe
the word "sacrifice." Those who left
families and those who hired substi-
tutes and wor ked hard for several
years afterwards made great sacrifices.
Under the word sacrifice he would put
the word "union' and under that the
word "liberty," because union and lib
erty was what the soldiers of the North
fought for. But" continued the
speaker, people say show us living
memorial" The old soldiers that are
living and who would go again for the
same cause are living memorials. The
speaker then dwelt upon the questions,
"was the war worth all it cost; and,
what would have been the result if
the South had won." He thought that
it was worth more than it cost, and it
made closer union. The result, il
the South had won, would have been
that a large standing army would have
had to be kept on the border and
that there would have been war every
few years. England was the first ma
ton to say England cannot be
slaved," but after the signing of the
surrender by Lee Americans had said
america cannot be shaved" After
singing "America" and the benedic
ton by Rev. Swift the crowd dis
persed.

tiers and handed him dispatch. It was
as Maynard feared. He was informed
that in the present exigency the matter
could not be given attention at general
headquarters. but it was deemed impor.
tant to deal summarily with spies, be
they male or female. He was therefore
ordered to convene "drumhead"
court martial, try the prisoner, and if
found guilty execute the sentence, what
ever it might be, without delay.
When Colonel Maynard read this Or
der, every vestige of color left his face.
He could not believe the evidence of his
senses. Was it possible that he, Mark
Maynard, once condemned to be execut-
ed for spy, was called upon to super
intend the trial and the execution which
would doubtless follow of another for
the same offense, and that other a wom-
an? Yet there were the instructions
duly signed "By ORDER" and only one
meaning could be attached. He held it
listlessly in his hand for awhile and
then handed it to his chief of staff.
cat what hour shall the court come
together, colonel?''
II presume at once. The order so d.
reefs, doesn't it?''
''How about the witnesses?''
"You will have to send to the source
from which the prisoner came to US. -
''In that event will fix the hour for
8 o'clock this afternoon. The judge ad-
vocate will require little time to pre-
pare the charges and specifications.
GAS you think best. -
Colonel Maynard turned and went
into his tent. Hours passed, and he did
not come out. '"The colonel is in trou-
BILE" said one "They say he was once
in the secret service himself" said an
other. "Then he knows how it is to be
in such fix as the woman up in that
house. - "He's been there. 1T was at
Chattanooga year ago. They say he
brought the news of Bragg's advance
into Kentucky" ''Well, if he has to
execute sentence of death on spy,
and that spy woman, wouldn't be in
his boots for the shoulder straps of a
major general.
And SO the comments went on while
the colonel kept his tent and Miss Bags
peered dreamily out of the window,
watched by guards.
