The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1896-12-10

There are to be some unique contests
and some unique prizes for the con-
testants at the December monthly fair
to be held in this city on Monday,
Dec. 21st. which day, by the way, is
the day for the local stock market.
The business committee of the
Board of Trade held meeting last
Thursday afternoon, and after con-
sultation with Emil Schmahl, decided
to offer premiums for the different
kinds and sizes of hogs delivered by
farmers to that buyer on that day.
The prices will range from So to SIS in
cash, and will therefore be worth COM
peting for. For instance. the largest
herd of hogs delivered to that buyer
by any one farmer on that day will re-
ceive the first cash premium. The
farmer delivering the second highest
number will be entitled to second
premium. The hogs must be owned
by the farmers previous to delivery.
No punching will be allowed. A Sec
ond contest in which farmers will find
a great deal of interest manifested will
be for the prizes offered for the finest
herd of hogs of five or more. This
does not necessarily mean the largest
herd but rather the herd that will
bring the most money in the markets.
A premium of SIS will be offered to the
winner of the first prize and of So to
the winner of the second prize. A
third prize in the hog line will be for
the heaviest hog sold on that day.
The premiums will be the same as Of
fered in the contests for the two other
classes.
Theiband seems to have been tenn
porarily disbanded but the members
have agreed to furnish music for the
day in question. They will furnish
music at II o'clock in the forenoon,
again at one o'clock, again at four
and then during the evening after
seven o'clock, after which time in the
neighborhood of two gross of Roman
candles, already here for the purpose,
will be fred off by way of closing the
day in the proper blaze of glory.
During the day there will be exhi-
billions of swell turnouts. For instance
the single and double seated rigs of
the town, owned by either private or
public parties, as we'll as the cutters
from the country, are to be on the
streets, decorated to the most exquis-
tie winter tastes of the owners. They
are to be on the streets after II o'clock
in the morning until two or three o.
clock in the afternoon. For the most
gaily decorated and best appearing
double rig driven by gentleman, a
special prize will be offered. A SINH
lar will also be given to the lady driv-
ing the most gaily decorated and best
appearing double seated rig. The
gentleman driving the best single
seated rig will receive q prize, as will

in response to telegram announcing
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1896-12-10

also the lady driving a similar outfit.
These prizes have not yet been select
ed but they will be worth more than
the trouble of getting the turnouts on |
parade. In awarding the prizes the
of the occupants will be
taken into consideration, consequent
ly gay winter dress Will add great
weight with the judges in determin-
ing the prize-winners.
Cash prizes, it is understood, will
be awarded to the first and second !
winners of premiums in the contest of
the best team of draft horses. This
class is for farmers exclusively. No
city team will be considered in the
contest, when the question of award
arises, although draft teams in the
city will contribute to the interest that
will be manifested by appearing on
the streets during the day.
Something new and novel, in case
the effort proves successful, for Red
wood Falls and vicinity will be the
booked snow shoe and ski contests.
These will occur on Mill street and
down the hills or banks having the
proper depth of snow and ice on them
around the city. Cash prizes are Of
fered for the several classes. In case
the management succeeds in getting
the skilled snow shoe and ski racers
here, this feature will excel anything
yet offered by the local fair manage
ment. 1t is sensational spectacle to
see a group of successful ski racers
shooting down over an embankment
and making a wild imp off from
some jumping off place. This field is
occupied solely by our Norwegian and
Swedish brothers, and it is probable
that Swedes Forest and other neigh
boring towns in Redwood and Rem
vile counties will have representatives
here to capture the prizes.
There will also be some street skat-
ing contests between the kids around
town. The ice on the bottom of the
streets, properly covered with snow,
makes street skating exceptionally
easy and the kids will make some
good time.
An attempt is being made to have
some trotting on Mill street, but it
may not prove successful on account
OF the narrow grade of the street.
On that day as we'll as during the
other holidays the merchants of this
city will offer their goods and wares
at exceptionally low prices. All of
the merchants have secured a full
line of holiday and other goods, and
these will he offered at great sacrifi-
ces. The highest market prices are
to be paid for hogs, cattle. poultry of
all kinds, hen fruit, butter, etc.
Come to Redwood Falls on Fair
Day, Monday, Dec. 21st, and during
the other days of the holiday season.

WINsLoW CASE ARGUED.
Ex-COMMANDER OF THE NAVAL
RESERVES WANTS AN
INJUNCTION.
To Restrain Morton From Carrying
Out Gov. Cars Order Removing
Acknowledgment to Be
Continued To-Day.


The case of Francis Winslow against
George +. Morton came UP in the SUI
preIne Court yesterday.
Winslow, it will be remembered, was
Commander Of the North Carolina
Naval Reserves. He made charges a.
gainst Gen. II. IL. Cameron adjutant-
general of the State Guard, that upon
investigation were found TO be without
foundation Governor Carr then issued
an order removing Winslow from COM
mand of the Naval Reserves. Winslow
then prayed for an injunction restrain
ing Lieutenant Commander Morton
from carrying out the order of the
Governor, and assuming command OF
the Reserves. Judge Starbuck granted
temporary restraining order, and
heard argument on the case in Cham-
bers at Wilmington; after hearing the
argument, he refused to grant per-
manent injunction; from this decision
Winslow appealed to the Supreme
Court. And it is on this appeal that
the case isnow being argued
Messrs. George Rountree and Iicaud
and WE'LL are counsel for inslow, and
the Attorney General and Battle and
Mordecai appear for Mr.. Morton and
the Governor.
Yesterday Mr.. Rountree opened the
case for Winslow. He argued that the
Governor had no power to make the
order removing Winslow from the com
mand of the Naval Battalion of North
Carolina; that the section of the Code
by authority of which the Governor
claimed to act had been repealed by
the Act of 1893, which sets forth the
rules and regulations governing the
State Guard. He further argued that
the injunction is the only proper meth
cd to prevent the wrong being done
to Lieutenant Winslow
This morning the argument will be
resumed, and the Attorney General will
open the case for Leutenant~Comman
der Morton; he will be followed by Mr..
r. III. Battle on the same side of the
case: and the argument will be closed
nv Mr.. Sol Veil, counsel for Wins
low.
The counsel for Morton have filed
a comprehensive brief, covering the
principal points in the case. The de-
Tense in the action argues that the
Governor has in law,as Commander-in-
Chief, the power to revoke plaintiffs
commission" that "the action is not
a proper one for injunction, for if the
order was void the plaintiff is still in
Office, but II ousted he could try his
title by action IN the nature of quo
warranto."

MRS. BLAkE's HUSBAND DEAD.
The Distinguished Leader Of Woman's
Suffrage Saw Him Five Days Ago.

Mr. Grenfill Blake, husband of Lille
Deyereaux Blake, died in New Jersey
on Tuesday The New York World
says:
HE had been an invalid for nearly
twenty years. For the last thirteen
years he has lived in New Brunswick,
his wife continuing TO live in New York
and pursuing her public career. She
visited her husband frequently and was
with him five days ago.
His malady was of such nature
that bis death has been imminent for
many years.
His wife, who has won such dis
tinction as a novelist, essayist and pub
lie speaker, was born in Raleigh, N. c.,
in 1885. Her father was an eminent
man in his State. When he died the
widow and her daughters moved to
Connecticut. They lived in New Haven
and Lille Devereaux Blake was care
fully educated at Miss Apthorp's
school She was famous for her beauty
and her wit. She had many admirers.
When she was twenty she married
Frank G. Quay Umsted, a student at
Yale. They went to the far West and
settled in what were then the Dakota
wildernesses.
Four years after her marriage, that
is, in 1859, she lost her husband under
very painful circumstances. She came
East with her young daughters, and, in
New York City, set 10 work to earn a
living. The difficulty Of this, which
would be even now an arduous task.
can hardly be imagined by those who
are accustomed to the different ideas
of women which prevail to-day.
I'm 1866 she married Mr.. Blake, then
an expert in steel, and general New
York agent for great iron-manufac-
turing firm, Washburne Il Moen, Of
Worcester, Mass. Mr.. Washburne was
an uncle Of Mr.. Blake, who came of
very old New England family, des-
eendant from John Alden and "Pris-
ella, the Puritan maiden. =

A BLIND MANS TRIUMPH.
MIR. E. S. Simmons, of Washington, is
Perhaps the Only Successful Blind
Sawyer Living.

MIR. E.. s. Simmons, of Washington, is
Perhaps the Only Successful Blind
Sawyer Living.
The Washington Gazette recently
contained. at the conclusion of the Bon
ner trial. a glowing and appreciative
tribute to MIR. e. 5. Simmons, the blind
lawyer Of that town. Before he lost his
eye sight, Mr.. Simmons was Presiding
Justice of the Superior Court of Beau
fort county, and represented Beaufort
county in the Legislature as a Demo-
crat. In addition to his legal duties,
Mr. Simmons is United States Commits
sioner, giving general satisfaction.
Referring to his speech in the Bonner
case, the Gazett says:
st was indeed an unique sight, to
see that blind man-so blind that he
can scarcely discern between night
and day-stand up before a jury into
whose eyes he could not look, and
catch those sympathetic chances, which
are such an inspiration to speaker,
and plead so pathetically for the life
Of his client Brantley. The tears OF the
jury and a portion of the bystanders
testified to the force of Mr.. Simmons
eloquence. The blindness of the speak
er gave emphasis to his touching APP
peal TO the Jury Mr.. Simmons is pos
sessed of an emotional, sympathetic
temperament, without which a speaker
may be learned, logical and instructing
but never truly eloquent"
Again the Gazette says:
1--WE haze known blind men to sue
ceed III other avocations III life, we
have read of blind authors, notably the
case of the blind poet, Milton, the crea-
tions of whose imagination rank him
next to Shakespeare in that galaxy of
distinguished men of letters who have
made the English language classic.
Then there is our own blind historian
Prescott. whose Conquest of Mexico
and Peru have much of the charm in
their perusal as the creations of Sir
Walter Scott, and whose style is more
elegant than that of Macaulay; it much
resembles Goldsmith. whom he seems
to have made his model, but we do not
remember ever to have read or heard
of a blind lawyer. Perhaps the most
remarkable case on record of the
triumph over the loss of sight, was that
of the blind Postmaster General of
England, Henry Fawcett, who was to-
tally blind. He lost his sight while
out shooting, by the explosion of a
gun. This remarkable man determined
that his great misfortune should not
interfere with his official duties, or
his pleasure, and it did not, for he en-
gagged in riding, fishing, skating, swim
ming and rowing. He attended faith
fully TO his official duties, and found
time to write or rather dictate several
books on political economy, and other
important subjects.

THE ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
An Association to Be Organized that
Will Take IN Hand the Charity Work
of the CITY.

Will Take IN Hand the Charity Work
of the City.
In the mission rooms of the Kings
Daughters, at four o'clock yesterday
afternoon, large number of ladies
and gentlemen interested in the work
of charity among the destitute Of the
city, gathered for consultation.
Mr.. John T. Pullen was made chair
man of the meeting. Plans and meth
DDS of carrying on the work were dis
cussed, and useful suggestions offered.
After careful consideration, it was
resolved to organize board Of Assoc
ciated Charities, the board 10 have
general supervision over the work of
relief of the poor.
1t was resolved to appoint a general
committee of one from each of the
churches in the city to formulate plans
for the organization, and to get up a
constitution and bylaws to govern the
Association. The committee viii meet
net Monday to take action.
The following committee was APP
pointed by the chair: Captain G.. II.
benson, chairman episcopal church);
W. III. Worth First Baptist church,;
J. g. Brown (Edenton Street Methodist
enurch); Rev. ID. Fl. futile (CentraI
Methodist church,; John t. Pullen
Fayetteville Street Baptist church);
w. b. Mann christian church).
A general meeting to organize the
Associated Charities will probably be
held next Thursday
The Kings Daughters have, for sew
eral years, by their own efforts, kept
up the charity work Of the city, and
looked after the needs of the poor;
they have maintained mission room
with a competent and enthusiastic
worker in charge; and, withai they
have done noble work But they have
carried too heavy a burden, and the
calls for charity in the last few months
have overtaxed the order So, they
have at last decided not longer to bear
the burden of city's distress. The
Mission Rooms are no longer under
their auspices. The Kings Daughters
viii continue their noble work, but
viii not be responsible for the charity
work of the city.
The Associated Charities, therefore,
becomes necessity. And as out of ne
cessity grow almost oil schemes Of be-
neVolence, we will have the Associated
Charities
The ground cannot bc adequately
covered by private effort. and organizn-
ton is practical economy.
Every man who aympathizea with
the sufferings of the poor, whom we
have always with AS" viii wiah the
new movement god speed.

BURNED TO DEATH,
MRS. FANNIE lvEY, MOTHER OF
Ex-ALDERMAN ivEY, MEETS
A HORRIBLE DEATH.
She Must Have Been Suddenly Over
come by a Stroke of Paralysis
When Found the Body Was lY-
ing on the FIoor---How the
Tragedy Occurred.
Tragedy Occurred,

A tragedy occurred on North Hall
fax street yesterday morning.
Mrs. Fannie Ivey, the mother OF Mr.
IT. M. Ivev. was found in her room,
burned to death.
All the clothes were burned off the
body. and the wind had blown some
parts Of her dress under the window Of
the room.
Mrs. Ivey had slight stroke of paral-
ysis some half a year ago, and it is
supposed that an attack Of apoplexy
came upon her suddenly. and that she
fell forward against the coal fire that
was burning,in the CRATE.
When the body was found, the blow
err that fitted the CRATE was lying
over the face. and the arms were eX-
tended on either side of the head.
She must have died suddenly, for
those in the house heard no sound of
a struggle in the room.
Miss Hatch, neighbor, made
morning call at Mr.. Ivey's, and inqulr-
ed especially for Mrs. Fannie lvey Mr..
Ivey's little daughter showed the yisi-
tor to the grandmother's room.
When the door was opened little
cloud of smoke rushed out. They en-
tered, and found the body Of the aged
grandmother lying on the floor, stark
dead, cruelty burned.
Mrs. Ivey had left the house to go to
her dress-maker's: before she arrived
at the dTess-maker's house she was
summoned home by the sad news.
Mrs. Fannie Ivey yesterday morning
seemed in fine spirits. She ate break
fast with the other members of the
family, and was bright and cheerful.
She had not been in her room very
long while when the flames caught her
dress and burned her to death.
Mrs. Ivey was most estimable wo-
man, greatly loved by all who knew
her. She had seen some seventy years
or more, but was quite active for her
age She was the mother of Mr.. Ell. NJ
Ivey. who has been for a number of
years connected with the Seaboard
Airline. and only recently returned
to Raleigh from Portsmouth, where
for n short time he made his residence.
Mr.. Eey was one Of the city Board Of
Aldermen until a few months ago.
The tragic death of his mother throws
deep sadness over the large circle of ac-
quaintances and friends of the family.
Mr.. Ivey and his family have the sin
cere sympathy of the entire city.
The funeral will be held from the
residence at four o'clock this after
noon.
