ney trouble. Too frequent desire to uri-
nate or pain in the back, is also convinc-
ing proof that the kidneys and bladder
are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfils every wish in relieving pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every
part of the urinary passages. 1t corrects
inabilityto hold urine ana scalding pain
in passing it, or bad effects following use
OF liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes
that unpleasant necessity of being con-
PEELED to get up many times during the
night TO urinate. The mild and the ex-
traordinary effect ofSwamp D. Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing
cases. If you need medicine you should
have the best. Sold by druggists, price
fifty cents and one dollar. You may
have sample bottle and pamphlet both
sent free by mail. Mention THE YAKI-

THE REDWOOD GAZETTE.
BY AIKEN E. SCHMAHL.
THURSDAY, DEC. 49,. 1897.
THE w, G. T. u. CONTEST.
Mrs. Jennings and Will Whittet
We're Winners.

On Wednesday last the ladies OF the
w. c. T. U. got together a gathering
in.the NJ. E. church for the purpose of
calling the attention of the public to
the question of temperance. The en-
tertainment was under the direct man
agement of Miss:Olive L. Tiffany, and
was splendidly carried out to the mi
nutest detail.
It consisted of competition in reci-
tation by six matrons, and in singing
by five young men. The matrons
we're Mesdames H. D. Brooke, X, W.
White. Thos. March, Bacon, Cyrus B.
Jennings and NJ. Lusk. The young
men who competed we're G. G. John
son. Horace Jones, Will Whittet, De
Witt Martin aud G. CT Kenney.
A striking contrast was seen IN the
department of the older competitors as
put side by: side with school pupils,
who are ordinarily found::"'on a plat
form in such competitions. 1t is not
known how the matrons and men OF
that evening felt, but they appeared
TO the audience to be so much more at
ease than younger people and to enter
far more into the spirit of what they
were saying and singing than would
those of more tender years Especial,
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1897-12-16

" true was this of the ladies in speak
ing their pieces.
1t is difficult to say how the judges
came to their decision so soon for the
feeling in the audience was that every
lady of the six spoke with such artistic
taste and earnestness of purpose, in
trying to bring conviction on the tenn
perance cause, to the audience, that it
seemed hard to decide who was first
or last.
Not quite SO much can be said of
the men. They looked little more
timid and had streak of shaking in
their voices when they began, but they
got rid of this after the first measure
or two, and sang impressively. The
songs, like the readings, we're appro-
pirate for the OCCASION.
The successful competitors in speak
ing we're: First, Mrs. jennings; Sec
ond, Mrs. Lusk; third, Mrs. Brooke.
In singing: First, Will Whittet; Sec
ond, Horace Jones; third, Dewitt
Martin.
Both sets of competitors we're pre-
sented with silver medal, the Amer
lean Home Magazine for year and
the State prohibition paper for year
Rev. G.. H. Way made the presenta
tons. There was great merriment in
the audience when Dewitt Martin
stepped forward to receive the State
paper, and Mr.. Way heightened the
merriment as he handed copy of the
paper with the remark, "The name Of
the paper is Backbone ,"
Mrs. Clipfell presided over the meet
ing with great tact. Mrs. j. ?. Coop
er thrilled the audience with a mag
nifcent selection on the organ.

our INDEBTEDNESS.
Both City and County in Excellent
Shape.

Redwood county is getting into ex-
cellent shape financially, is the opinion
of those who are thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the financial condition of
of county. Jan. LIST last the coun-
tvs total Indebtedness was $62,54322,
while her assets we're placed at $118,-
1887.
But on Jan. LIST next the indebted
ness will have been materially reduc-
ed. The Minnesota Valley railroad
bonds, which have been against the
county for 20 years, and amounting to
$4,000, will fall due on that date, and
the commissioners, at their last meet
ing, provided that $l5, 600 of the bonds
are to be taken up at that time, and
a refundment for the balance, or $685.
600. On Jan. LIST last there were 49,
600 jail bonds outstanding, and since
that time the bonds have been reduc-
ed ST. 900, making total of $1,000.
The result is that on Jan. LIST next the
county's indebtedness will only be
$4,000.
Against this amount the assets of
the county should be set, and this
item is as large, if not larger than last
year. It includes court house worth
$4,000, a jail property worth $4,000
and poor farm worth $4,000, besides
large number of other incidental
items, such as come under the head of
taxes due. To the court house there
have been number of improvements
made this year, and to the Jail property
new barn is now being constructed.

The $4,000 refundment bonds to

The $4,000 refundment bonds to
be issued on Jan. 1st next have been
so arranged that they will all be taken
up inside of 10 years, without the
taxpayers of the county feeling the
effects of the payment very seriously.
Of the amount $4,000 will be paid
each year until and including Jan. l,
1904. The next three years there will
be paid $4,000 each year and the last
year $1,000 will be paid. This will be
on Jan. LIST, 1908 At the same time
the Jail bonds will be nearly all paid
and it is probable that on that date
the county will be entirely out of
debt, with magnificent set of county
buildings. and a taxable rate that will
be very pleasing to all Of the tax-pay-
ers of the county.
The auditors books show that the
real and personal taxable property of
the county is $4,S42,45S. This is
about 40 per cent. of the real value of
the real and personal property of the
county.
Since Jan. LIST last and up to last
Friday 1903 deeds bad been filed for
record with the register of deeds.
The indebtedness of the city
amounts to $4,000. Of this amount
$4,000 is for water bonds, $4,000 for
the Minnesota Valley railroad bonds
and 81 900 for refundment bond is
sued last year, to be paid for inside Of
year There is also special certifi-
cate of indeb. edness amounting to
$500 that will be taken up inside of
the next few months. To Offset this
the city has a water works plant val
ued at $4,000, sewerage system val

sented in this city by G. G.. Johnson,
arrived here on Wednesday of last
week, for the purpose OF adjusting the
loss of Carl Roseberg, by reason of the
fire in the Ojai building about two
weeks ago. The loss was adjusted at
$4,000, and Mr.. Roseberg is highly
pleased over the adjustment. Mr..

Citizens Mutual of Mankato up to
about two weeks ago, and joined the

pect of much larger field to exert his

lapsed a few days ago in an inexplica-
Bile manner.
Some time ago a miller noticed that
his little estate had considerably sunk.
large crack separated IL from the
level of the route which runs along the
mountain. The authorities were in
formed of the occurrence, and they
then discovered other cracks. They at
tempted to take measures of precau-
ton, and set to work to clear away the
wood from the top when suddenly a
mass Of rock fell off and crashed down
on three freight ears below
The situation grew worse on the 10th.
A number of other little lots of rock
fell off. and then, just as the train had
passed, the mountain suddenly began
to rock from side to side. and with n
dull noise there rolled down to the
ground. $50 feet below, a gigantic cas-
eade, divided in two by a mass OF rock,
and composed. instead of torrents Of
water, of thousands and thousands of
stones, rocks and clods Of earth. The
noise was heard for long distance,
and there was a frightful cloud Of dust,
which covered the whole vicinity.
Since then the landslps have con
tinued. An immense creyasse has cut
the whole side of the mountain, and 1t
Is feared that the railroad at its base
win be carried away. All works of re
pair are now being carried on with very
great difficulty, and even danger to life.
1t is not known what has caused the
phenomenon. nor whether the collapse
was at the base or at the top of the
mountain. Probably the drought has
something to do with it.

Several doctors had attended her, but it

They advised us TO take her to the springs. but

worse and We had to bring her home.
She fingered along, and last winter be-
came worse again, and was afflicted with a
nervous trouble almost like the st. Vitus'
dance. For some time we thought she would
die, and the physicians gave her up. When
she was at her worst neighbor came in
with box of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People and wanted us TO try them as
they were advertised TO be good for such
cases, and her daughter had used them for
nervousness with such good results that she
thought they might help Mabel.
We tried them. The first box helped
her some, and after she had taken three
boxes she was able to sit up in bed When
she had finished half dozen boxes she was
able TO be out and about She has taken
