are Honored by the City
Council.

The city council held a regular
meeting last Tuesday night. Mayor
Dickinson, Recorder Warner, City At
torney Pierce, and Aids. Burmeister,
Caswell and Mead we're present. The
only sensational occurrence was the
defalcation announcement of Ex-City
Recorder Gleason. The matter came
up just before the meeting adjourned,
when Mayor Dickinson announced
"that the city recorder is required to
file report of all the moneys received
oy him during the year. There is
nothing on file and nothing of the
kind has been submitted. AS Glea-
son has drawn his salary l don't
know how we can hold him on that"

THE Y. N. G. A. OPENING,

One of the most enthusiastic recep-
tions that was ever held in this city,
was given at the Y. M. G.. A. rooms,
over Kuenzli & Luscher's store, last
Wednesday evening, by the ladies Of
the different churches, to the young
men. 1t was the formal opening OF
the Y. M. G. A. rooms, which are in
charge of that association. The re-
ception was in charge of an executive
committee composed of the presidents
of the different ladies' societies of the
Methodist, Presbyterian, Episcopal
and Christian churches.
The young men were received by a
reception committee composed of
Mrs. II. M. Hitchcock and Miss Car
rie Houck, of the Methodist church,
Misses Alice Bigham and Daisy Bent,
of the Presbyterian church, Misses
Isham and Beecher of the Episcopal
church, and Misses Emma Hulburt
and Marie Mason of the Christian
church. The rooms were thrown open
about Z 80 O'Clock, and were soon filed
with as jolly lot of young people as
has ever been congregated in this city
for many day. A quartette composed
of Dewitt Martin, Cliff Tanner, Geo.
French and Lewis Buxton, rendered
two songs. Games such as halma,
checkers, and crokinole had been pro-
vided, and those who did not wish to
move about we're soon enthusiastically
engaged in them. At about $50 sup
per was announced and all the young
men we're invited to partake of hot
coffee, doughnuts and cake. At first
the young men only were invited, but
finally the committee compromised
the matter by allowing the young mon
to take their lady friends to supper.
Over 800 persons were accommodated
at the tables. After supper games
were again indulged in by those
who wished to remain. Presi-
dent Houck, of the association, in a
short speech, told what the object of
the establishment of the rooms was
and invited all the young men of the
! city and vicinity to use them, and
thanked the ladies for the reception
accorded the young men. After an
other hour or more spent in games the
affair came to close.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1895-02-07

submitted with the statement that
there was a mortgage on the tract.
The deed went back to the committee.
Mayor Dickinson was opposed to the
purchase for the reason that the whole
people should not pay for what only a
part of the people used, and that such
ground might make the city liable
to damages to adjoining property.
The bond of Chas. Athey as street
commissioner in amount of $500 was
approved. A. w. Wilcox wanted to
be city engineer, but the application
was pigeon-holed. Fred. Thompson
was granted license for the opera
house at SIP per annum.
Chief of Police Crooks was allowed
two months salary from Oct. 10 to Jan,
10, three months, the Chief having
been sick about one month during

To this Aid. Mead replied: "Has
he turned over the money he was
short to the city treasury? He said
that would appear before the council
tonight and fix the matter"
"He was over to see me-" replied
His Honor, "and I told him that he
knew best what he was owing the city
and the easiest way to fix the matter
up. He owes the city something like
SIG, and 1 have no means of telling
how much he has received on those
dog licenses
'No, nor any one else, unless you
go by his books" was the reply of Aid.
Mead.
"He ought to have the treasurer's
receipts" remarked Mayor Dickinson,
"and they should be submitted to the
council. We have no means of telling
what he has turned oyer. There was
$40 from candidates in 1894 and $35
from candidates this year, plumbers
licenses, water tax, etc"
With these remarks the subject was
temporarily dropped until the next
meeting.
The matter of a dumping ground
came up, the deed from Foley being

that time. He was also allowed $3.50
for three months service as fire war
den. VIM. Aliens bill for police SER
vices from Dec. 10 to Jan. 26 was re-
ferred to special committee consist
ing of Aids. Caswe]l and Mead, the
legality of the bill being questioned
owing to superAuous police force
during that time.
HI. F. Buechner was elected city
assessor for the ensuing year, Aids.
Burmeister and Mead supporting him,
while Aid. Caswell voted for G. V.
Everett, the old assessor.
F. w. Philbrick was made chief
engineer of the fire department by a
unanimous vote.

whose convenience an electric road
was to be built eight miles, consisted
of five laborers. The vein was barren
quartz in a ledge of granitoid gneiss,
altogether of most unpromising ap-
pearance. Upon assaying the samples
procured,* no gold or silver was found.
These facts we're at once given to a
Minneapolis newspaper and published,
together with other items of confirm
atory nature, resulting in suspension
of operations at the "mine" and rap
id decline of the market price of this
worthless stock. Similar swindles may
again be inaugurated, and more sue
cessfully carried out. It would appear
wise to have some precaution taken by
the State against them. If it we're
made the duty of some State officer
to inspect all reported discoveries of
valuable mineral deposits and publish
his opinion of them, those who we're
unlearned in such matters might be
saved many losses, and the reputation
of the community would not he so Oft
en- stained by such transactions.+
*This assay was made by sharpless and
Winchell.
vt should also be stated that the foisting
of such mining schemes upon the public for
the purpose of stock-selling is not always
due to the ignorance or the fraudulent de-
signs of the owners. 1t not infrequentlv hap
pens in Minnesota, as in Arkansas and Geor-
gia, that assayers are more guilty than the
active promoters. The writer has knowledge
of several such criminal acts on the part of
assayers in. Minnesota. There is a strong
temptation to magnify the favorable results
of assays. The cupidity of the owner once
aroused, he easily enlists several of his
friends. The assayer's business is increased
by the spreading reports and he may keep
the craze going for several months or years
by a judicious distribution of his false re-
turns. The State of Minnesota to-day is
cursed by the practices of few such assay
ers-against whom there should be some law
as rigorous as against quack doctors.

Additional gold mine news will be
found in Delhi correspondence. The
GAZETTE is aware of prominent par
ties, known here, being interested in
the mine, but is bound to secrecy for
the present.

Another enthusiastic meeting of
farmers residing in the neighborhood
of Redwood Falls for the purpose of
perfecting cooperative creamery Or
ganization was held in Thompson's
Hall last Saturday, and resulted in
the selection of officers for the pro-
posed association. A. D. Smith pre-
sided. Reports from the various COM
mittees appointed at previous meet
ings were made, that from the COM
mittee on cows being very satisfac-
tory. H. A. Holmes would not give
any definite answer as to the sale of
the old creamery according to report
made by Clark Miller. Andrew Stew
art reported progress on the purchase
of supplies, while Chairman Smith,
from the committee on site, reported
that three sites were satisfactory, one
being the present creamery, another
just north of John McIlreavie's resi-
dence, and third the north end of
RAINS farm. The election of officers
was then taken up and resulted as
follows:
A. D. Stewart, president; Charles
Brewster, vice president; 0. L. Dorm

or; Thos. A. March, Donald Stewart

lie in the middle of the stream near the northern
end OF the Botanic Garden site. This part OF the
great beauty. and many kinds OF plants requiring
wet soil may be grown to advantage. The diversi-
fed character of the soil ia among the advantages
which the advocates Of the site urged most strongly.

The beauties OF group OF hemlocks east Of the
river have not been well known TO artists as
those of the larger grove the west side OF the
stream. The are. however. scarcely less beau

by small streams and parts OF swampy land.
An almost complete circuit of the land devoted TO
the Botanic Garden may be made by leaving the
Bedford Park Station and going along the Southern

may he said in general that the westerly ana north

the future have houses and other buildings erected
close TO them while there is little danger OF en-

OF the site.
A stranger desiring visit the site will most nat
uraly use the Harlem River Railroad 10 the Bedford
Park station He will thus find himself on descend

at the Bedford Park station finds Immediately east
of the platform an old apple orchard, through
which runs a straight path across a level field to
the winding road known as Lorard Terrace n
little further south is the Southern Boulevard, the
main thoroughfare for residents OF Bedford Park.
The Boulevard Is wide and maintained in good con-

TO the Park for those who desire to drive thither
The land south of the Boulevard and between 1t and

OF young naples which forms attractive part
of the landscape. The ground the grove Is
largely overgrown with wild blackberry bushes
