New Ulm Review: The man who
took twenty-four grains of strychnine
to commit suicide at Redwood Falls
must have been in the habit of placing
high estimate upon his capacity.
Granite Tribune: THE REDWOOD

mas edition loaded to the brim with adj

is sprung every week.

A letter from w. B. Herriott, now
located at Los Angeles, CAL, is to the
effect that times have been quite hard
in the Golden State for a number of
years past. Mr.. Herriott himself has
not done any business since he was in
jured couple of years ago.
Crystal Lodge, Daughters of Rebekah,

Nellie Barnes noble grand for the en-
suing year, Mrs. J. G. sKinchen of

Marsh permanent secretary. After the
election social hop was INDUCED in

While going home last Saturday ev-
eniDg James Hodge met with a painful
accident, the direct result of icy side
walks. He was on the Third street
walk between Washington and the
court house, when he slipped and fell,
striking on his thigh bone, and fractur-
ing it SO badly that the physicians have
doubts as to him ever again being able
to walk.
Louis Junger, the driver of Ack-
mann's delivery wagon, was bitten by
COW last Tuesday. At least, that is
Louis version of the affair, and there
does not seem to be any one who wants
to contradict it. He states that while
feeding the animal it reached out, bit
him in one of his legs, and before re-
leasing it's hold, tore one of the legs of
his trousers very badly.
1t is probable that William Duerre
of Buffalo City, Wisconsin, brother
of George F. Duerre, now county treas
urer of Wabasha county, and of E. r.
Duerre of Reeds Landing, both we'll
known here, will succeed DR.. E. L.
Halves as a dentist in this city. DIR.
Duerre is graduate from the leading
dental college in the United States, and
has excellent recommendations for be-
Ing good workman.
F. H. DeGroat was in the city yes
terday. He stated that he threshed
out several stacks of grain located on
his farm in Delhi township on Tues
day last, and that the icy exterior Of
the stacks alone prevented more thresh-
ing. He brought the wheat to this city
and it sold as No. 1. 1t was not in
jured in the least, and if farmers gen.
orally have their grain as well stacked
as Mr.. DeGroat there is no danger of
damage by the elements. Mr.. DeGroat
stated that his wheat averaged Is bu-
shells per acre.
Prof J. L. Torrens was in Dawson
last Saturday evening, where he acted
as one Of the judges in an oratorical
contest held there on that evening. In
this connection, it will, no doubt, be
wondered by a good many, why there
is to be no oratorical contest here this
year. It is due to the State associations
going to pieces. With the disbanding
of the State organization came the dis
banding of the district organization.
With the latter disbanding interest
was lost at the different high schools.
Dawson started in last year and this
year, there was SO much enthusiasm,
that the school held contest of it's
own, the winners not to go up against
any other pupils of outside schools.
