made hit in the costume. Chimney
sweeps we're also strictly in the 'push," :"
but as clever trio as appeared on the
floor that night were Ned. Dripps,
Harry Laird and Miss Jessie Waldron,
appearing as three little girls in blue.
The boys wore dresses to match Miss
Waldron's and up to the time that the
masks were removed those who knew
nothing Of the; costumes freely admit
ted that the three we're girls alright.
It was about 9:l5 o'clock when the
grand march was called for. It was
led by Julius A. Schmahl and Mrs.
Lizzie II. Francois, the former as a
matadore and the latter in a comic
old woman character. After the march
came several cotillions. lancers, waltzes
and schottishes, and at II o'clock the
entire crowd of maskers, some 12O in
all, lined up for unmasking. There
were exclamations of "didn't know
you" "knew you all the time," and SO
on, and then dancing was resumed.
This was kept up until about four o.
clock in the morning when the wood
men broke up camp and the last dane
or came out of the hall remarking that
Redwood Falls and vicinity had fairly
outdid the Brady Martin affair that
occurred in New York but a few weeks
ago.
Supper was served at Hotel Francois
from II o'clock to one and the genial
host of that popular hostelry put up
an inviting bill of edibles.
| The music was furnished by the
Delhi orchestra, and was beyond criti-
cism, with the possible exception of
being too slow in one or two of the
dances. The boys composing the Or
chestra, seven or eight in number,
furnished fine music and the wood
choppers were fortunate in getting
them. G. H. Tenney prompted in his
usual excellent manner.
The stage was converted into a
spectators gallery, and large crowd
of spectators occupied both it and the
gallery of the opera house watching
the brilliant spectacle on the floor.
The music was on a temporary plat
form at the foot of the gallery and
the heads of sets were consequently
reversed from the old time dancing in
the opera house.
Too much credit cannot be given
Messrs. G.. R. Pease, E. G. Green and
A. H. Anderson, forming the executive
committee, for their work in making
the affair a brilliant success. The
three gentleman gave all their time,
during the week prior, to the making
of the affair all that it should be, and
they saw their efforts crowned with a
beautiful laurel wreath of victory on
the evening in question.

FRANK ARRESTED.
Alleged to Have Sold Liquor With
out a License.

Sheriff Pease left for st. Paul and
Chaska last Monday. In his inside
pocket he carried a warrant for the
apprehension of John Frank, who, up
to Jan. 10th last, ran saloon on the
corner Of second and Mill streets. On
that day he closed down for the reas-
on that he did not want to continue
that business but wanted to go into
the milling business with George
Backer. The warrant of arrest was
based on complaint made by Her
man Joern, accusing Frank, in three
different counts, of having sold liquor
without a license after Frank was sup
posed to be out of the business. Sher-
if Pease expected to return from St..
Paul and Chaska on last evenings
Northwestern train.
The complaint, in question, was re-
ferred to in these columns last week.
At that time it was reported that the
same. had been made, although the
officers in authority denied that such
was the case, and hinted that so far
as they knew, no complaints were like
ly to be made or warrants issued.
The complaint was probably made
on account of business trouble ex-
isting between Joern and Frank, ac-
cording to the statement of the latter.
It will be remembered that Joern
had made arrangements to buy out
the saloon stand of Mr.. Frank and
had applied for license to go into
effect on Jan. Goth last. According
ing to Mr.. Frank Joern put up 500
or $3.50 as guarantee money. Joern ex-
pected aid from outside parties, and
particularly from Ang. SchelI or Hau-
enstein brewing concerns of New Ulm.
The aid was not granted, the brewing
concerns not desiring to establish a
precedent. As result Joern could
not raise the $500 to pay for his license.
Another deal between Frank and Mar
tin Lohrenz was made and Lohrenz is
now running the saloon.
Shortly after jan. Goth, or rather,
when Joern found out that it was i'm
possible for him to raise the $500, he
demanded his guarantee money OF
Frank. This the latter refused to re-
turn and Joern has since been threat
ening Frank with arrest on account
of liquor claimed to have been sold
after the Goth in the presense of Joern.
The case seems to have come to
head last Monday, when Sheriff Pease
left with the warrant. Frank was
then supposed to be in St. Paul with
his partner, George Backer, buying
machinery for the mill at Chaska.

The JOURNAL understands that it Is
charged with favOring the introduction
of sulphur water into the towns supply
when it urged the artesian we'll trial.
The JOURNAL did no such thing. The
arteslan we'll proposal was based on

Great Savage mountain strata, to tap
and obtain the Gerry aoater aohich the pump

JOURNAL of Jan. IA, 1892, wherein the
statement is made that ''the we'll

feet, or 1,200 feet below surface-to
get water iufallibly plentiful and

made plain by large double-column

with little careful consideration they can
readily see the enormous amount of expense
it must take to sell even one stove. The

pensive style of living, the General Superin-
tendent in style more extravagant and the

ton the large percentage of notes that are
never paid.

in such a manner that he can remain with
