A BIG THING.

One of the literary men of the coun-
try has sent the following letter tc
HE GAZETTE proprietors:
"Your edition of last week, brought
out as Christmas number, is simply
marvel. There are few of the large
cities that could do better. Whether
considered from literary, CONNER
cial or mechanical standpoint, it ap-
proaches nearer to the standard OF
perfection than anything I have ever
seen issued from any city of the size
of Redwood Falls. The enterprise
and push of men who can bring out a
paper like yours of last Thursday, in
addition to the excellent weekly mum,
bers deserve the patronage of the
whole community
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1896-12-17
is according to the statement of Mr..

is according to the statement of Mr..
Hill.
The proposition that the. Westing-
house people have to make to the
council is simple one. They require
an exclusive franchise for carrying on
the electric lighting of the city for a
period of five years. At the end of
that period in case the city's finances
are in proper condition the Westing-
house people will dispose of the plant
to the city, the valuation to be fixed by
board of three appraisers, one to be
selected by the council, the other by
the company and the third by the
two. In case the city is unable to buy
the plant at the end of that time the
Westinghouse people will continue to
run the same.
The city council, as we'll as the
business men of this city, are all fav-
orable to having electric lights. Ey-
cry business man and member of the
council are in favor of having the city
own its own electric lighting plant,
but the finances of the city will not
warrant such an expenditure at the
present time, and it is doubtful wheth-
or they will warrant the expenditure
before another five years. The water
works bond and sewerage debt are
about all that the council desires to
carry at this time. Consequently it
seems that the proposition of the
Westinghouse people should be &C.
copied.
Mr.. Hill states the charge for an in
candescent light, 16-horse power, per
month, would be about IS cents, and
that if the users of the light did not
want to pay at that rate they would
pay at the rate of one cent per hour,
the meter system to be used for the
same. On Saturday a large number
of electric lights were practically
guaranteed by owners of residences.
Mr.. Hill did not doubt but what the
full amount could be secured.
He will make proposition to the
council, for his company, in short
|
time. On Monday he left for Spirit
Lake, Iowa, where his company is
now engaged in putting in a plant for
a private corporation having the fran
chise in that place.

CHRISTMAS For THE POOR.

The Presbyterian church has taken
a Christmas step this year which is
highly praiseworthy. While the child
rem of the Sunday school will make
merry over their Christmas tree on
Christmas eve they will have the joy
of knowing that through their super
intendent, their teachers and them
selves they will have made a num-
her of other people in the town
happy also.
E. G. Patterson, Sunday school SUI
perintendent, last Sunday requested
that the children and teachers busy
themselves in getting clothing, food,
or any other necessary of life for CIV
ing to those who may feel the pinch
of want this winter. He appointed
committees for soliciting any of those
articles from those who are we'll off
and committee for distribution. The
articles will be distributed without
distinction of church or creed and
those who know of needy neighbors
will make it known to Rev. John Sin
clair. The contributions will he left
at the house of DR.. and Mrs. A. B.
Halves. What is not sent in by
Christmas day will be distributed at
New Year. The boys of Miss Lena
Theiring's class suggested that they
be allowed to put their contributions
together and get a barrel of apples for
distribution among poor children.

THE CYCLE FAIR.

The Presbyterian Cycle Fair came
off on Friday last and was a decided
success in every feature of it. The
object of the Fair was, in the first
place, to bring the members of the
church and their friends who helped
them with it, into contact in a social
way and their object was fully attain
ed. From two o'clock in the afternoon
crowds of people kept coming and 60
ing to the opera house, some buying
and others not buying, but looking in
for half hour to have friendly chat.
Another object of the Fair was to
raise some money in legitimate way
for church and charitable purposes.
The promoters of it we're careful not
to interfere in any way with the ordi-
nary business trade of the merchants.
With the exception of few dollars
worth of Japanese articles, there was
nothing sold but what was the work
of the hands of those interested or
their friends, or articles purchased
from the merchants and decorated
afterwards by ladies' hands. The
sum raised was 500, which, consider
ing that this sum was chiefly the out
come of willing hands applied for this
special purpose, spoke volumes for
the energy expended in connection
with it.
The supper was very gay affair.
1t was we'll patronised and we'll got
up and served. The provision was
sumptuous, the table decorations were
neat and the young lady mattresses
were all smiles and activity. The on
ly drawback was that the tables were
rather few and kept some of the peo-
pie waiting longer than they had an
ticipated, but that only whetted the
appetite and gave the supper great
or relish.
After supper, Mrs. G. O. Van Cleve,
who came from Minneapolis that af-
ternoon, gave short address, COM
mending the object in which the
Cycle was engaged, and then a few
articles that remained, with the cake
and provisions not used we're put to
auction and found spirited bidders.
The Cycle wishes its gratitude to be
conveyed to all the patrons of the day.

else then bought one bottle of DR..

weeks was cured. He is naturally

ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
The Westinghouse Company Anx.
iOuS to Put in a Plant.

@. B. Hill of St. Louis, general trav-
cling agent of the St. Louis branch of
the Westinghouse Electric Lighting
Co., was in the city for several days
during the past week. The sole object
of his mission was to establish an cleo
trio lighting plant for this city for his
company, and to secure a franchise for
the same. He spent several days look
ing over the city and in deciding that
it was the right town for the plant, af-
ter which he interviewed nearly all Of
the leading business men and citizens
and found them anxious to have a
plant established. A number of bust
ness and professional men informed
him that as soon as the plant was
ready for business they would have
the lights placed in their Offices and
residences.
In conversation with reporter of
The GAZETTE last Saturday morning
MIR. Hill stated that in case his CON-
pany secured franchise it would at
once erect a brick building in this
city, 4Ox8O feet, for the electric light
ing plant. In this building would be
placed an engine of $50 to 200 horse
power, three eighty horse power boil
ers, one alternating dynamo of 1,5OO
lighting capacity, 35 lighter dyna-
mo of the arc variety, and one EXETER.
In addition to this building and
mechanism the company would have
to have the usual amount of poles and
wires to get around the city. The
running of the plant would depend
upon two men, one as engineer and
electrician and the other as helper.
In order to have the plant made an
assured success, aside from securing
the franchise, the Westinghouse COM
pany would have to have guarantee
of about 1000 sixteen candle power
incandescent electric lights for store
and residence lighting and about 20
arc lights for lighting the city. The
latter are of 5OO-candle power. This

THURSDAY. DECEMBER IL, 1896
THE BIG EDITION.
How 1t Got Into the Hands of the
People.

Some idea of the vast amount of
work in connection with getting out
paper like the Christmas number of
The GAZETTE, can be gained by the
statement that it required the services
of eight persons from the Thursday
previous to the day of publication, up
to the Friday noon after publication,
six of whom worked continually, put
ting in from 10 to Is hours daily, to
bring the edition out on time. Two
folders were kept at work, at intervals,
from Monday to Friday noon, and
two mailing clerks were kept busy
from Thursday evening until Satur-
day morning.
The amount of paper required for
the mammoth edition weighed $50
pounds, or little over quarter of a
ton. The advertising soliciting was
mostly all done by the editor of the
paper, the adv. setting was done I'M
der the supervision of Mr.. James
Aiken, the senior member of the firm,
who was assisted by Mr.. B. F. Wright
and Francis Pollard, the former an
old newspaper man, at work in Hotel
Francois and the latter a regular
member of The GAZETTE staff. The
composition for the news and miscel-
lany columns was all done by the
Misses Charlotte Schmahl and May
Ferris, also of the regular GAZETTE
staff, while the folding was done by
the Misses Carrie Isham and Blanche
Halves.
The first form was given to the
pressmen, Messrs. Schmahl and Pol
lard, on Saturday afternoon. After
that form was printed one form of
four pages was printed each evening,
including Thursday evening, making
five forms in all, or 20 pages. The
distribution of each form followed
after the press work on the same had
been done, and after the succeeding
form was nearl y ready for the press.
The Babcock press was kept going at
the rate of 1900 impressions per
hour and made 1880 impressions.
AS fast as signature of eight pages
was printed the folders commenced
their work and kept very near up to
the press.
The paper for the edition was furn-
ished by Leslie & McAfee of Mime
apolis. The ink for the edition was
furnished by the well-known Printers
Ink johnson.
The postage paid on the edition was
$3.50, or on 29O pounds of the paper.
The discrepancy on the weight of the
entire edition and the amount on
which postage was paid is found in
the fact that newspaper publishers are
not required to pay postage on their
actual circulation within the county,
and the publishers were consequently

of the law. Especial provision is made to the
effect that this discharge shall not include
any debt which may have been created in con-
sequence Of defalcation public officer or

judiciary character. The law is to remain in
force for two years only. The district courts
are made bankruptcy courts for the purpose
of carrying the Jaw into effect. Senator
George, of Mississippi, will have charge of the
bill in the senate.
