VI ldSI OdCuIOdy says Cu@c ~. u. loI
an elderly gentleman, formerly OF
Redwood Falls, who has been laid ur
for the past three weeks with rheuma-
tism in his limbs, met with a very
painful accident to-day. He was ly-
ing on a sofa at his home, when his
wife, in passing him with a large pan
full of boiling hot water, slipped and
dropped the contents on Mr.. Tyler's
legs, and, before his clothing could be
removed, both limbs were scalded IN
horrible manner.
Last Thursday was Valentine Day
and Redwood Falls had two postofces
one at the school house and one con,
Quoted by the government. They we're
both patronized about equally. Post
master Laird, for the government, re-
ports that the mail was heavier than
it has ever been on previous St. Val
entine's Day since his connection with
Uncle Sam. The home patronage was
immense, large sentimental valentines
going through the mails to the dis
comfort of the postmaster. Comic
valentines had about the same sale.
At the school house valentines we're
transported to the parties to whom
they were addressed without postage.
The younger pupils made big day
of it.

ZETTE assayer was not mislead, how
ever.
Stratford, the favorite trotting stall
lion, groomed by Frank H. Barnard,
who keeps the animal around here
during the summer, made great rec
ord in half-miIe race on the ice near
St. Paul one day last week. He was
entered with Capt. Wood, Pearl R,
Biddy Bidoo and other horses, some
of them having as low a record as
2:l7a. The first heat, half mile, was
won by Pearl R in l :10a, Stratford be-
ing second, and would have probably
been first had it not been for his hind
limb striking portion of the cutter,
which caused him to break. The
second heat the little bay stallion won
in LILO and the betting ring was crowd
ed with men who claimed that the
driver of Pearl r was not letting the
animal go at it's full speed and offer
ing money that she would win the
next and final heat. Stratford had
hackers and when the cry Ego" went
out the stallion went to the front. The
race was see-saw until the stretch
was reached, when the whip was Civ
en- the stallion, to which the latter
made a beautiful response, finishing a
winner by a length in the remarkable
time of l :O9 fiat.

The North Redwood Roller Mills
were sold under the hammer at sher.
ifs sale at three O'Clock last Tuesday
The sale occurred at the front door Of
the court house and was conducted by
Sheriff Blethen. The property, in.
GLIDING the homesteads and mill wen,
for SIS, 1872, about one-third of the
real value. 1t was sold in three diff
ferent parts and Horton w. Nelson
who held the mortgage, purchased
each individual tract. The first lot
sold was the Birum e. Andersen part
nership property. including 100 acres
of land and the mill. This was bid in
at &,43O. The second lot sold was
the Birum homestead, Nelson bidding
it in for 81, 7O8.12. The third lot sold
was the Andersen homestead, Nelson
getting it for SIS. There was large
number of farmers who had wheat
stored in the elevator present at the
sale, but they made no attempt to re.
sist the sale. This practically settles
all litigation in connection with the
property and Nelson will probably
secure clear deed to the mill after
the expiration of the year for redemp-
ton. He will also probably open the
mill for business in a short time.

A$~~S
ed by Mr.. Smead, the evangelist, who
has been holding meetings the past
ten days. A union choir sang several
selections and Miss Nettie Houck rem
dered a solo at the close of the service.
The sermon was preached by Mr..
Smead, and his subject was Excuses"
The first excuse that he spoke about
was, that persons say that they do not
feel the need of Saviour, or that they
are sinners. He said that feeling was
no excuse. Some say that it is no
matter what man believes if he is
sincere. Mr.. Smead said that he
thought that it did make difference,
and that person must be sincere in
the right thing. Another excuse was
that there are SO many hypocrites in
the church. A storekeeper would not
turn off his clerks because there were
dishonest clerks in the world. The
fact that there are hypocrites in the
church argued the existence of Chris
tians, as people did not counterfeit
worthless things. Christians do not
live up to their profession, was anoth-
or common excuse. He said that a
Christian was not as much professor
as confessor. Turning over new
leaf would not do, as the future does
not atone for the past.
