In the 1896 agricultural book, ISSUED
under the supervision of the directors
of the Minnesota Farmers Institutes,
Hon. G. D. Gilfillan will have an arti-
Gle on tubular wells and Jas. Arnold
of Vesta will have the article that ap-
peared in last weeks issue on corn
fodder. Supt. Gregg states that the
question of water is an important one
and he looks for a great demand for
the book on account of Mr.. Gilfllan's
ideas.
Sheriff Christiansen has had an un-
usual charge this week, says the Mar
shall News-Messenger: On Monday
Farmer Loomis brought to town an
old negro, whom be had found in a
straw stack on his place about hall
frozen and half starved. It seems that
the old man had burrowed into the
straw pile and had been living on field
corn and such stuff as he could pick
up without begging. The old man
says he is 70 or 80 years old, and that
he was an old slave. He knows very
little about money and says he never
worked for money, but has been con
tent with place to sleep, something
to wear and something to eat; and j,
is evident that he has not received
much of these latter of late. Though
freeman for thirty years the slave
characteristics are still strong in thu
old man and he is as servile as ever
On Friday the sheriff took hip to th.
poor farm.

G. H. Schmidt of Sedan, Pope
county, was in the city Monday nego-
tiating for the Riheldaffer tract east
of town through the agency of j. B.
Robinson & Co.
w. w. Page of Walnut Grove COM
mitted suicide by taking a dose Of
laudanum on the morning of Dec.
8th. He had been ailing for some
time. and the ailment undoubtedly
drove him to the deed.
Rev. L. l.. Hanscom came down
from Red Wing last Thursday and
spent day visiting with friends,
among whom he met with hearty
reception. Mr.. Hanscom stated that
his congregation was larger at Red
Wing. than at this place, notwithstand-
ind the fact that the city had Meth
odist church for the Norwegian,
Swedish and German people. His
audience in the evenings is made up
largely Of young Norwegian and
Swedish students of the Theological
Seminary at Red Wing. Before leev-
ing Mr.. Hanscom started The GA
zETTE, saying that it was almost like
home without mother not to have
the great family journal come into it
once a week.
Thos. King, of Delhi, one of Red
wood county's oldest and best farm
ers, had novel experience last Thurs
day evening-an experience that he
does not care to have repeated again.
Mr.. King and his son Lawrence were
returning from Mankato over the
Northwestern system. They we're
both doing in the car when the train
whistled for Gilfillan Siding. Mr..
King awoke and supposed that it was
Redwood Falls. He shook Lawrence,
telling him that it was Redwood, and
then left the car. Lawrence conclu-
ded that the train could GO no further
and continued bis nap. The train
pulled out for Redwood Falls about
the same time that Mr. King steppe d
from the car. A moment later he
discovered his mistake and with his
usual pluck started to walk to this
city. He walked over the track, ar
riving here shortly after nine o'clock.
He continued his walk with admira-
BILE pluck, arriving home about mid
night. About ten o'clock Mr.. King
reached the farm house of Geo.
Whittett and the latter offered to
take him home, but Mr.. King refused.
Lawrence has had many 9 pleasant
laugh at his fathers expense since
that evening.

The Epworth Reading circle was
organized on Monday evening of last
week with M. D. Martin president,
Frank Hubbard vice president, Miss
Ida Dineen secretary and Rev. R G.
Grose treasurer. The members met
with Judge Bowers last Monday ev-
ening.
Horace Baldwin returned from
Sioux City last Saturday. Mr.. Bald
win disposed of several carloads of
feeding cattle in the Sioux City mar
kets and while the prices were salts
factory they were not as high as he
expected. He states that the feeding
stables are very nearly full and it is
probably unwise to unload any moro
feeding cattle on the Sioux City mar
ket.
DR.. w. D. Finn returned from
Henderson on Saturday of last week.
DR.. Finn was called there as a wit
ness for the defendant in malprac-
tice case against DR.. Pfster, formerly
of New Ulm. It appears that the
case involved the operation of circum-
cision, the Hebrew parents claiming
that the Doctor failed to perform the
operation correctly. Several doctors
offered testimony favorable to the de-
fendant. The jury returned a verdict
in favor of DR.. Pfster. Messrs. Som
erville & Olson of Sleepy Eye were
the attorneys of the defendant.
Ralph Lunn of Mankato, using
Emmett's speech, was the prize win
ner at the Mankato district oratorical
contest held last Friday evening. Miss
Mary Damon of Worthington carried
off the first honors for the young la
dies. James Beecher of this city was
given the third chalk mark in the
race. Two judges placed him second
and one placed him fourth. Those
who witnessed the contest say that
the decision was just so far as the
first place was concerned. They
speak highly of Mr.. Lunn as an ora
tor and as appearing in an imposing
manner during the whole of that ora
ton. At the sub-district contest held
at Luverne the first places were given
to Luverne students,instead Of Worth
ington, and on q technicality Luverne
was ruled out and Worthington. al
ready in second place, was given first
The fact that Worthington was fird
in Mankato shows that the judgmen,

The steam heating fixtures for F.
w. Philbrick's store arrived here last
week and the filters are now engaged
in putting them in place.
w. R, Caswell will conduct the city
ice business next year. Mr.. Caswell
has purchased the ice house of John
X. Peterson and has leased the hous-
es of Emil Schmahl and Jos. Tyson.
This winter he will fill all the houses
with pure ice from The Redwood river
and will make arrangements for the
satisfactory delivery of the same dur
ing the next summer.
The institute at Morton on Friday
and Saturday Of last week was very
we'll attended and the business men of
that town added materially to the
work of getting out crowd. Supt.
Gregg and his staff were seen in Nor
ton during the noon hour Saturday
and they all admitted that they hadn't
seen anything just like Redwood Falls
and the crowd at the court house
while here during their entire sojourn
along the St. Louis railroad.
The Supreme Court has denied the
motion of Attorney Smith on behalf
of the Olivia county seat boomers ask
ing that the appeal of the people from
Judge Webber's decision on the coun-
/ ty seat contest be set aside. Mr.. Lind
represents the latter side of the case.
Attorney Smith claimed that the ap-
peal should be set aside on the ground
that the notice of the same had not
been given within the proper time.
The original appeal will come up be-
fore the Supreme Court for argument
on Jan. 10th and a good many resi-
dents of the south side of the county
are betting that Judge Webber will be
reversed.

Laird & Dornberg's Saturday morn
ing. 1t was brought to The GAZETTE
office with instructions to advertise
for the owner. In order that it may
not be a difficult task to ascertain the
latter the contents are given: "Chas.
Harry told Dollie that he had rather
not 90 to the debates and that he had
rather go sleigh riding and Dolly told
him she had rather sleigh ride, too.
So, guess he will take us sleigh rid
ing Friday night. Papa asked me
this noon what was the matter with
you. told him and he told me
about time when the COW kicked
you. He said he bothered you just
awful about it. GRACE"

A party of young people consisting
of the Misses Stevens, Peterson, Van
Camp, Dineen, Larkin and Brooks
and George Brooks spent Saturday
evening at the Clipfell farm.
Sheriff Wichman of Renville coun-
ty was present at the hanging of Har-
ry Hayward. He states that the cool
est man in the crowd just before the
drop fell was the victim himself. He
thinks the nerve displayed by Hay
ward to be something remarkable.

Lake Benton News: The REDWOOD
GAZETTE editor has vivid and active
imagination, and what he can't spring
upon the public in the way of some
thing startling and original, and that
without moments warning, too, is
not worth springing at all. For some
time now he has been building rail
roads in his mind-the latest being
road from Redwood to Marshall.
He is also engaged at the same time
in tearing up the track from Tracy to
Marshall. There would probably be
no objection to The GAZETTE building
all the road it wants to, even if it built
one to everyone's door, but we are
afraid that when he begins to tear up
those already built and in successful
operation someone will kick.
The Reveille states that invitations
we're received here during the past

Ella Hawk, both well-known here,
