REV. r. c. Crosse RECEIVED.
Methodists Give the Minister His
''HOW do You DO!"

The members of the Methodist
church, together with friends, gave
Rev. R. @. Grose and wife reception
in the parlors of the church last We'd
nesday evening. The reception was
a pre- arranged affair, having been an
nounced from the pulpit the Sunday
evening previous.
The church parlors have never been
touched up in the manner they were on
the evening in question. They were
really transformed into a drawing
room. Numerous settees were scat
tered over the main room while
draperies and tapestries hung from
the various entrances leading to and
from the parlor.
The ladies of the church, aside from
arranging the above, had scattered
flowers and plants around the room in
very profuse manner and the
fragrance added a charm to the recep-
ton.
The receptionitself was really form
al affair. The various members of the
congregation and friends were pre-
sented to the minister and his wife
and after the presentation and word
or two in exchange they passed on to
give the next chance. There were
no speeches and those present seemed
to delight in that particular portion
of the program. There we're plenty
Of group conversations going on dur
ing the evening.
The refreshment card announced
something new. Instead of the usual
coffee, cake or something of the kind,
the card only contained grapes and
cakes and these were scattered among
the. large crowd in picnic style. The
reception lasted from 8 to II o'clock
and the callers left with warm feel
ing for the new minister and his wife.
Rev. Grose will undoubtedly continue
the same favorable impressions made
by his predecessor.

MCpHEE VS.. MCpHEE.
Mrs. MCphee Sues for a Divorce
And Wants SIG, 900 Divided.

Ella NJ. McPhee has commenced an
action for divorce against John R.
McPhee, alleging cruel and inhuman
treatment as foundation for the
action. The case will no doubt attract
great deal of attention as both the
plaintiff and defendant are we'll
known all over this county and mas
much as the plaintiff asks the court to
compel the defendant to give her an
undivided one-half of his property in
terests, amounting to over $4,000.
The plaintiff was fomerely Ella M.
Hathaway, sister of M. U. Hathaway,
at present restaurant keeper on Sec
ond street, this city. She was married
to John on Dec. 23d, 1885, and COM
plains that the defendant commenced
ill-treating her six months after the
marriage day. The ill-treatment was
kept up at frequent intervals until
Aug % and "a, of this year, when the
two were residing in this city. On
those days Mrs. McPhee claims, John
locked the house and forced her to
stay with neighbors.
The plaintiff claims that the defen
dant has real property valued at $l5,-
400 and personal property valued at
$1,000 and asks for her share of the
same. She also asks for such alimony
as will give her living and expenses
of the action while the same is on
trial.
Messsr. j. H. Bowers and Somer-
vile & Olson are the attorneys for the
defendant, and on behalf of the latter
have entered a general denial of the
material allegations contained in the
complaint.

HISTORY IN PHOTOS.
pictures Of auditors to Adorn the
Office Walls.

/
photographs of all the auditors of
Redwood county and hanging the
same from the walls of the auditors
Office is now going on. Already the
pictures of Edward March and Col.
E. A. Chandler have been secured
and have been given place on the
west wall of the auditors Office.
The work will really be difficult
one, before it is accomplished. The
line is longi one, commencing with
T. w. Caster, we believe down to the
present incumbent, A. II. Anderson.
Mr.. Caster, it is stated, is now resi-
dent of Iowa, and efforts are being
made to have him send up his face
for hanging: from the walls. Caster
was among the first settlers of the
county and was frequently mentioned
in the narrative of Col Sam. McPhail,
published in this paper some time
ago. Edward March is now residing
in Fargo, N. D., and promptly con-
tributed to the group as soon as the
scheme was mentioned to him. Mrs.
Chandler sent in photo of the late
Col. Chandler. There are several
more to come.
Following COL. Chandler was I. M.
VanSchaack, who recently died in
Tennessee. 1t was during his first
term as auditor that the robbery of
the treasury occurred. Amasa Tower
was the treasurer at that time and
lost his farm as result of the looting.
Till Tibbetts followed VanSchaack,
held the Office one or two terms and
was succeeded by the present incumb-
ent five years ago.
1t is probable that all of the officers
at the present time will attempt to
make history by getting photos of
their predecessors. In the treasurer's
office Jacob Tippery was the first man,
Morrill, was second, Fay Robinson
was next, Amasa Tower, A. A. Wilson,
j. S. G.. Homer. Emil Kuenzli and
j. r. Lankard. The office of sheriff
has had many incumbents. If we are
correct Norman Webster was first. af-
ter which came J.R. Thompson, Thos.
Mcmillan, Jas. Durtnal, D. B. White
more, A. L. Gale, NJ. B. Albeit, G. w.
Mead, Casper Blethen and e. w.
Mead.
l.. NJ. Baker, son-in-law of George
Charter, was the first register of deeds.
The Office was afterwards held by G..
W. Braley, J. B. Robinson, Till lib
belts and Geo. L. Evans. The office
of Judge of Probate has been held by
Sam McPhail, Golfer Virgins, H. D.
Baldwin, S. j. F. Ruter, j. H. Bowers,
E. D. French and j. B. Robinson.
The office of county attorney was held
by Sam McPhail, Golfer Virgins, NJ.
E. Powell, Alfred Wallin, MN. Madi-
gan, S. L. and w. L. Pierce and
Frank Clague. Mr.. Wallin is now as
sociate justice of the supreme bench
of North Dakota.

RECOGNITION OF CUBA.

The question of recognizing
the belligerency of the Cuban
revolutionists will probably
soon have to be considered
seriously by our Government.
The trend of events, both in
that island and in the United
States, is directly toward such
contingency. Despite the eff
forts of Spain, the Instruction
is steadily extending it's limits
and increasingits force. A reg
ularly organized civil Govern
ment, republican in form, has
been set up and proclaimed to
the world, and will forthwith
undertake the work naturally
pertaining to it. Any day it
may send a diplomatic agent to
Washington with request for
recognition. Moreover, rela-
tons between Cuba and this
country are SO direct and close
that American interests will
presently require some official
action, one way or the other
upon the subject.
Whatever be the decision of
the Government, it should be
made with the utmost circun-
spection and thoughtfulness.
There may be in theory a dis
tinction between recognition of
belligerent rights and recogni-
ton ofindependent sovereignty.
In practical effect there is but
little. Such step is, excepting
only actual declaration of war
against another power, the
gravest nation can take in
foreign affairs; and once taken
it cannot be recalled. We all
remember, or should remember,
the judicious circumstances of
President Jackson against the
premature recognition of the
independence of Texas. Per
haps his arguments in that case
are notapplicable to the present.
They are at least worthy of re-
membrane and review. It
would be an irreparable misfor-
tune if this Government should
either grant or deny recogni-
ton to the Cubans through i'm
pulse or on grounds of insult
ficient or inaccurate informa-
ton. There is, however, no use
in ignoring, or attempting to
conceal the fact that the Amer
lean people in general sympa-
thize with the Cubans; and be-
lieve from the best information
obtainable by them that the
Government would be amply
justified in recognizing them
as belligerents. It is earnestly
to be hoped that the popular
judgment will be confirmed,
and that this Republic will be
the first Of all nations to extend
a fraternal hand to the new
republic in the Pearl of the
Antilles.-New York Tribune.

THE RESCuER.


THE RESCUER.
1t was only plain old black dress,
Innocent of ribbon or lace.
And plain little bonnet of black
And plain old motherly face.
Wnlle from under the bonnet's black brim
The snowiest of hair could be seen,
ana the peace that shone out of those eyes
Might be the envy of queen.
You would notice her step as she passed
Had lost the light spring of her youth;
But her work was the labor of love,
OF rescue, of mercy, of truth.
She wore badge of the purest white;
An emblem familiar to all,
For God, for home, for native land,
For any who stumble or fall.
1t was only a crowded station,
Where travellers must go and come.
Where timid and bold, and rich and poor, 4
Unite in the general hum.
Where the tired mother and children
Must wait for the 1852,
And tardy statesmen rush for the train,
That for five minutes has been due.
Where the train arrives in five minutes
That will carry away the dead,
To some broken hearted mourning wife,
Or aged mother with silvered head.
It was only slender young girl,
With frightened look in her eyes;
And man many years her senior,
Whose air was quite worldly wise.
To the passing there seemed nothing wrong
But the rescuer noticed the pair.
Her quick eye read the soul of the man,
And the thoughts that were written there
He was leaving the young girls side,
And she watched him moving away,
Then rested her head on her hand,
Her lips moved-she was trying to pray. Q
It was only an old wrinkled hand,
That was laid on the girls bowed head,
few kind words of the Masters love,
That the rescuer gently said;
AS she told of Christ cruciied.
And how we should pray in his name.
The girls face hid on that sanity breast
A face crimsoned with grief and shame.
1t was only one more rescued soul,
Saved from the snares of vice and sin:
Only one more wounded straying lamb
By the good SHEPPARD gathered in.
Only an erring girl that was saved,
BY the work of that noble band,
Who wear those badges so pure and white.
For God, for home, and for native land.

The Shakers have made discovery
which is destined to accomplish much
good. Realizing that three-fourths of
all our sufferings arise from stomach
troubles, that the country is literally
filed with people who cannot eat and
digest food, without subsequently suf-
fering pain and distress, and that
many are starving, wasting to mere
skeletons, because their food does
them no good, they have devoted
much study and thought to the sub
ject, and the result is this discovery,
of their Digestive Cordial.
A little book can be obtained from
your druggist that will point out the
way of relief at once. An investi9a-
ton will cost nothing and will result
in much good.
