Using which seldom occurs in a coun-
try town. Any advertisement from 81

connected with the church, to the
minister of the church, or sent into
the office and it will have careful at
tention. Friends who wish to help
with the purchase of church bell,
for which purpose this edition is be-
ing got out, who have nothing to ad-
vertise, will have any contribution
they care to make gladly accepted in
money. All such contributions of 81
or over, will be duly acknowledged
The ladies request that all the
writer's who may3 have anything to
send in will have their papers for
warded not later than the middle OF

TO the Editor Of the Sun-Sir Is not the
name and the man Dirk Balk of Waterbury.
Redwoodocounty, entitled to place in your
columns alongside those of Col. Abe Slupsky,
Hoke Smith, Dink Bolts and others:
The Sun precedes the inquiry with
. heading:that it cannot initiate Dirk
in its catalogue because another Dirk
Balk has taken such place and hence
the name is not original. If we are
correct the name appears in SCOTS
"Monastery"tor the "Bride of Lam
mermoor," and it is barely possible
that the editor of the greatest of metro
politan Journals contends that Scott is
far ahead of the Redwood inquirer.
Mr.. Balk is a rustling and enterpris-
ing young farmer over in Waterbury
township, if we have been correctly in
formed. About two weeks ago he
was married to Miss Lille Conrad, q
bright and charming young lady of
that or q surrounding township and
the two will undoubtedly be active
citizens of Redwood county in the
future. The fact that Mr.. Balk is the
right kind of a citizen and that he has
wooed and won a charming young
lady possessing various accomplish
ments, is good evidence that there is
nothing in name. The heart is
what tells.
Success to Dirk Balk and his bride!
We are sure that the people will hold
that they are alright.

CRIMINAL LIBELERS.

Bro. Blandin of the Olivia Press,
formerly editor of the now defunct
Sanborn Sentinel, is, with his expo
litical dictators and maaipulators, in
this county, just now trying to set up
and pose as a great political reformer.
He wants to forget the past when q
gang Of local politicians besieged his
Office in Sanborn, caused him to print
and circulate a dirty: criminal libel,
copies of which we're sent to il. By
ram for distribution, just before the
last Republican county convention.
That celebrated supplement, the cir,
culation of which was crime against
the postal laws of the United States,
and so declared by the postal authori-
ties in this city, who Immediately
stopped their circulation in part, arises
like Banquo's ghost before Blandin
and the gang to whom he acted as a
mere tool. He tries to evade that
criminal act, and the criminal act of
his accomplices, and rebukes The Ga
zErrE for exposing disgraceful affair
in the Redwood county court house.
In his last issue he says:
Simply because the Press is not one of the
papers to hold up the editor of THE GAZETTE
in libelous, blatant utterances we are made
the subject of his Misrepresentation.
We have always maintained that THE RED
WOOD GAZETTE ranks among the brightest
and best weeklies in the State and as news
getter it's editor has no superior among
country contemporaries, but we never did
nor cannot now endorse the policy of its ed
itor smirching the columns of his paper with
matter absolutely unfit for publication.
In other words he sustains his libel,
his criminal violation of the postal
laws, libel and violation authorized
by the gang of which he was merely a
tool, libel on the present Redwood
county treasurer, the present sheriff,
the present register of deeds, the then
chairman of the Republican county
committee, the editor of this paper
and others, but when The GAZETTE
makes an accurate expose of the get
ting of man beastly drunk, his vom-
ting over the floor of the county COM
missioners' room, and the attendant
circumstances, our brother cries
misrepresentation, libel, jealousy, etc.
We supposed that his work for that
gang was over. It appears not.

The Pin Was Found,

At an entertainment in Dublin a
thought reader boosted that he could
find a marked pin hidden by one of the
audience. The pin was hidden by a
Trinity student in all adjoining room in
the presence of committee, among
whom was confederate. The student,
suspecting the man from his looks, sly
" took away the pin from its hiding
place. On his return to the platform the
thought reader gazed into the hider's
face, and putting his hand to his brow
was blindfolded and led the student to
the hiding place, but of course could
find no pin. He returned, acknowledged
his defeat, and looked daggers at his
confederate. Nov, gentlemen" said
the student, 'FI'll undertake to say that
if this diviner of the human mind will
do as [ tell him half the audience, with
out single hint, will know where the

reader he said, ''Sit down. He did so.

cOattails the marked pin.-Dublin Mail.

An Old Fire Horses Good Memory.

Eleven years ago a horse was pur-
chased for the fire engine Portland No.
2, on Munjoy Hill. The horse was call
ed Old Tom, and it helped draw the en-
CINE for six years and was then disposed
of. 1t has been drawing an ash cart of
late years, and the other day went by
the engine house. Engineer Loring,
who knew the horse well, since they
came to that engine in the same year
and were there together for six years,
fell into conversation with the driver
and told him that he hadn' t a doubt that
if the old horse was put in his old stall
and the gong was sounded he would
rush for his place in front Of the engine
just as he used to do. The driver doubt
ed this and they agreed to try it. The
old horse, now Is years old, was put in
his old stall, where he hadn't been for
five years. At the first sound of the
gong he started for his old place under
the harness in front of the engine. He
tried to go quickly, but made but sor-
ry exhibition of nimbleness compared
with his former habit. Portland Press.

On a Sure Enough Silver Basis.

Something quite remarkable came in
to the redemption division of the treas
ury at Washington a short time ago. 1t
was thin plate of silver about two feet
long, into the surface of which a SO
silver certificate had been pressed in
such manner as to incorporate it's sub
stance actually with that of the metal.
1t was brand new bill, and in the proc
ess had been squeezed out to about
twice its original size. Nevertheless, it
was perfectly recognizable.
A statement accompanied it to the
effect that a workman in a silverware
factory had dropped the bill accidental
~ upon the-plate of silver as the latter
was passing through a rolling machine.
This explanation being satisfactory,
fresh $40 certificate was returned to the
loser. -Philadelphia Record.

WHY THE BICYCLE is so POPULAR.

The evolution of the bicycle from
the original idea of ammunition down
to the present diamond framed rear
driver has been by certain positive
steps, each step marking a distinct
advance in the grand march of i'm
provement.
In schools are taught some of the
revolutions wrought by the steam en-
giue, the telegraph and the loom, but
the schools of the future will surely
take notice of the wonders wrought
by the bicycle, and will teach some
thing about the Draisine or Ego devil"
the velocipede, the bicycle, and all
such inventions of whatever name,
by which man is enabled to travel
quickly, merely through the applica
ton of his own muscular powers.
What makes the bicycle so popular
with all classes of people? Cheap
ness? No; the trolley or cable is
cheaper. Speed? No. If one mere
ly wants to travel fast there is the
railroad. Luxury? No. The broug-
ham is far ahead of the bicycle on
that score. And yet people with all
these things at their command have
taken to bicycling with great fervor.
1t must be because of the outdoor ex-
ercise, you say. No, again. The term
outdoor comprehends infinite space,
and as for forms of eXercise-well,
they are without limit. There never
was a complaint of either outdoors or
methods of exercise in it.
The secret seems to lie in the fact
the wheel has revealed to us that our
natural powers of locomotion have
been multiplied. 1.-TWO blades have
been made to grow where one was be-
fore"
The draught upon our strength
necessary to walk mile is sufficient
to enable us on a wheel to travel five
miles or more.
Astride of it "magnifcant distan-
ces" become insignificant. What
glorious feeling of freedom comes
over us when the countryside, smil-
ing and gay, brings to the rider a sort
of contagious happiness! We have
not had to be carried there by the
horse or the railroad, and we are
proud to say, 81 did it!"
Inventors of auxiliary power APP
planes for bicycles should take no
tice of the fact that the secret to-day
of the bicycles popularity is not
merely because a person is enabled
to ride fast or far, but because the
riding was without foreign assistance.
Vanity and egotism cut a consider
able figure in the wheels popularity.
To say 81 rode on an electric motor
bicycle to Albany to-day" would
mean the same as to say, 81 rode on
railroad train to Albany today." But
to say, 81 rode my wheel to Albany
today" means something entirely
different. The rider who did this in
fast time would be hailed with great
applause, and the telegraph would
announce the fact to the world.
In improving the bicycle the main
idea is to get the most results out of
the least power applied by man to the
pedals. Auxiliary power has nothing
to do with bicycle Improvement. 1t
belongs to a class of inventions de-
signed to carry or convey, not to
those by which man carries himself.

Octavus Flannaghan is q dull eyed,
ignorant negro of 30 years of age who
has wonderful aptness for figures. Three
years ago Flannaghan could not calcu

bring if cotton was cents a pound.
Three years ago, however, while Elan

sudden thought came to him. He turn

ed out, "a bale er cotton dat weighs
500 pound ven cotton is gwine at z
3-16 cents, will fotch $50. 9334." Since
then Flannaghan has proved a prodigy.
