friends in Minneapolis this week.
The St. Veronica's Guild will meet
To- morrow afternoon with Mrs. w. P
Huntington.
They say that the Palace Restaurant
people are selling lots of taffy. Are
they right? We guess they're right.
Mrs. George Elmor and daughter of
St. Paul are visiting with the family of
G. A. McClintock.
w. II. Webster made a business
trip to Mankato on Thursday of last
week, returning home Tuesday.
John Whitcomb and wife returned
home from their trip among friends
and relatives in Mankato and Jordan
last Saturday.
Mrs. Ellen G. Cook of st. Paul
arrived from that city last Saturday,
and is visiting with her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. E. A. Lyman.
The material for the new oven at
the Palace Restaurant arrived here
Monday, and Mr.. Gordon expects to
have the oven in successful operation
during the latter part of next week.
A light snow fell Tuesday afternoon
and evening. Yesterday morning a
heavy mist hung over the land, but the
weather was warm, and there was no
indication of 80 degrees below weather.
At special meeting of Redwood
Chapter No. 81, Royal Arch Masons,
on Friday evening, Jan. 18th, the
Royal Arch degree will be conferred.
All members are requested to make a
note of this and be present.
A movement is on foot to give an
entertainment under the auspices of
the Redwood Falls band. Two mem
bers of the late Elsie DeTourney COM
bination are getting up the affair, and
the whole will require the services of
a number of the best talent of the
city.
Those in attendance at the gather
ing of the National Live Stock Breed
ers' and Feeders Association in St.
Paul last week, returned home on
Saturday, and the real stock breeders
and feeders say that they learned
much regarding the care of stock as
the result of attending the meeting
The last of the personal property
tax list for 1897, to be paid on or be-
fore March Ist, will be published
through the columns Of The GAZETTE
next week. The GAZETTE is the only
paper in the county which has pub
lished the personal property tax list
complete, and it has done it without
the hope of fee or reward. 1t merely
relies on the people of the county for
their additional support and hopes to
be in every home in Redwood county
by reason of doing this work, and CIV
ing besides all the news of the county.
A Goodhue county farmer has struck
novel method of putting up his sea-
sons supply of ice. 1t is this: He
has an elevated tank into which water
is pumped from his we'll by his wind
mill. Near by his tank is located his
ice house, which is lined with sawdust
as fast as needed. On cold days he
permits some water from the tank to
flow into the ice house until layer is
formed. He then covers his layer
with paper and the process is repeated
until the house is full. The paper
makes a seam, and by the aid of a
crow bar chunks as large as desired
can be broken off when desired. In
the summer time hose is attached to
the tank and in this way the garden
and lawn are wet down as often as re-
quired. The plan seems to work we'll
for both uses and is certainly saving
of time.
In explaining the catchy features of
the St. Peter girl, in reply to an in
quiry made in The GAZETTE recently,
the last issue of the St. Peter Herald
says: Years ago, when St. Peter sup
piled the State and nation with public
men, the term "St. Peter brains" be-
came synonymous with all that was
lofty in public life. With the decline
of honor in politics and the introduce
ton of questionable political methods
St. Peter stepped asdide for other To-
calities. Not content with being in
active, St. Peter paid attention to the
finer things in life and seems to have
Systematically turned to the develop
ment of beautiful women and the
