death, his insurance policy for $1,000
in that order, was received by his
friends, too late for his signature, but
nevertheless valid. George was a
base ball enthusiast, but did not allow
base ball to run away with his busi-
ness. He was developing into quite a
twirler, and base ball men around
here all looked for great work from
him during the next two or three years.
Like his brother, John, he was quiet,
yet alway pleasant and cheerful, and
there will be vacancy in the young
peoples circle of Delhi for long time
to come by reason of Georges death.
His parents, brother and two sisters
survive him.

At eleven o'clock the grand march
was called, and at the conclusion the
masqueraders were formed in circle.
The committee, consisting of Lieut..
A. M. Beecher, w. S. Brammer and
F. W. Philbrick awarded the prizes.
and then the unmasking occurred.
The prize for the best duo ladies'
character costumes was awarded to
Mesdames J. v McGettrick and G. E.
Lamberton, representing the local
press. Their costumes we're certainly
typical of vast amount of work. Pa
per after paper had been sewed to-
gether and fringed for the waists and
skirt, and the poke bonnets we're also
made of paper.
The prize for the handsomest single
costumed lad y went to Miss Josie
Greening of Grand Meadow, the lady
in blue costume, black bodice and
marble surmounted crown. The prize
for the best comic costumed gent went
to II. A. Baldwin; the Chinaman. who
made the hit with Topsy hold of his
queue. The most handsomely attired
gent was George Dickinson in King
Henry costume, and he received the
award for the same.
Supper was seryed at the CONNER
cial House, after the masks we're re-
moved, and all who partook of the
same we're loud in their praises of the
service of Mine Host Mcmillan and
his wife-the wiry Topsy on the dane
ing floor.

THE CEMETERY.
Committee Appointed to Solicit
Subscriptions for Stock.

Quite a number of those interested
in organizing cemetery association
gathered at Hotel Francois last Fri
day evening, and Informally talked
over the plan considered the most
easible-that of organizing a stock
company under articles of incorpora-
ton, acquiring the ownership of the
cemetery. and then applying certain
proceeds for the improvement of the
same, together with the additional an
nusl tax of ST. per lot for taking care
of the same.
AS result of the meeting COM
mittee, consisting of Messrs. A. E.
King, A. D. Stewart, Mesdames j. D.
Jackson, Anna E. Ward, Mary L.
Film and Maggie B. Anderson of
Delhi, was appointed to commence
the work of soliciting subscriptions to
the stock of the company, and as soon
as they have 100 subscriptions at $15
each, they are authorized to call a
meeting of all the subscribers, at
which time an organization will be
perfected.
The cemetery can be purchased for
$l 800 at the present time. There are
vacant lots in the same which, at their
present valuation, are worth between
5000 and $1,000. AS fast as the i'm
provements are carried on the valua-
ton of all of these lots will rapidly
! increase, and the association will have
good property on their hands. AS
before stated each share of stock will
be sold at Sis per share, and it is ex-
pected that between 100 and $50 lot
owners or residents of Redwood Falls
will put their name down for one or
more lots.
A superintendent of the cemetery
will be selected by the board of di.
rectors, and will be under their, or the
secretary's guidance. The superin-

They are expected to release. But
Lincoln never offered even to compro-
mise the claims against him. He
promised to pay when he could, and
it took the labor of years to do it, but
he paid every farthing of the debt,
which seemed to him and his friends
so large that it was called among
them the National Debt Neither
would he use any money in his hands
belonging to another. It is related of
him that several years after he be-
came practicing lawyer, al agent of
the postofice department called upon
him and asked for balance due from
the office of which be had been post
master, some $l7. Lincoln opened a
little trunk, which lay in the corner of
the room, and took from out cotton
rag in which was tied up the exact
sum required. L never use any man 8
money but my own,' he quietly re-
marked"
In speaking of Lincoln as a lawyer
Mr.. Bowers said in closing: II have
not the time in the limits of this
article to give even few of the many
anecdotes told of him at the bar. Let
me say in closing that his unassum-
ing simplicity, his kindness, probity
and honesty is an example which may
we'll be followed by the members of
the bar"
Mr.. Bowers paper was followed by
the recitation of poem composed by
Lincoln, by Gretchen Hitchcock, after
which j. R. Lankard spoke on the
subject of "Lincoln, the Politician"
Miss Belle Clayson rendered a solo;
Peter Wolf read Lincoln's Gettesburg
speech; F. E. Ring read a paper on
the subject of Lincoln, the President"
Miss Ida M. Dineen read Lincoln's
favorite poem; quotations from Lin
coin we're given, followed by the read
ing of LowelPs poem on Lincoln by
Miss May Stevens. A song by the
quartette and the benediction by Rev.
Way close the exercises, after which
the crowd indulged in a social time.

tendent will have charge of the grave
digging. and all of the lots. Each lot
owner desiring lot kept up for all
the time to come, can have it done by
paying the annual tax of $l per lot.
The association will probably, if sue
cess, be the recipient of bequests, for
the improvement of the cemetery and
the caring for lots.
One of the first things contemplat-
ed is the sinking of we'll, and the
placing of water tank and wind mill
on the premises, and the running of a
pipe line system in connection with
the same, to different parts of the
yard. Other improvements will be
made as rapidly as the association
gets its finances in shape to warrant
them.
The committee will commence work
at once, with the view of having the
association under way for the spring
cleanup and improvement of the GEM
etery. Lot owners who can afford it
are urged to take one or more shares
of stock, and non-residents of the city,
who are lot owners, or who have rela-
tives or friends buried in the ceme-
terry, are requested to put themselves
in communication with the chairman,
Mr.. King, at once. It is to the inter-
eat of everybody that the association
meet with success from the start.

GEORGE ROSENDAHL DEAD.
Passed Away After TWO Weeks
Illness, Saturday.

george hOSouQanl, one OF the
brightest young men in Delhi village,
and popular boy among his business
and society associates, passed away at
his home in Delhi last Saturday after
noon, after an illness lasting over two
weeks. He was stricken with dip
liberia on Jan. 28th, and at that time
it was considered of mild form, but
George continued to grow worse, and
it was impossible for medical skill to
turn the disease. Two or three days
before his departure hemorhages set
in, and his physicians then practically
abandoned his case. But he kept up
wonderful courage and kept off the
Grim Reaper until Saturday after
noon.
The funeral services were held
from the residence of the deceased at
one o'clock Sunday afternoon. They
we're conducted by Rev. H. McHenry
of the Presbyterian church of Delhi,
and at the conclusion the mortal re-
mains we're accompanied to the ceme-
terry at Redwood Falls, by large con-
course of loving friends, among them
the members of Court Delhi No. 11O8,
Independent Order of Foresters, un-
der which society beautiful burial SER
vices we're conducted at the grave.
George Rosendahl was born in
Fjelkinge, near the city of Kristian
stad, Sweden, on February 10th, 1871,
and was just two days past 26 years
old, when he was shuff1ed off this
mortal coil. When quite young, he
commenced learning the blacksmith
trade in his fathers shop in Sweden.
He emigrated to the United States in
the fall of 1889, coming direct to Red
wood Falls, where be Immediately
entered the services of j. E. Moon, at
present proprietor of the Second street
blacksmith shop. He remained in the
employment of Mr., Moon for several
months, and afterwards engaged in
various employments, principally car
pentering for a period of three years,
and in the fall of 1898 he entered into
partnership with his brother, John,
at Delhi, where the shop enjoyed the
benefit of large and lucrative busi-
ness up to the time of Georges death.
George was an active member of the
Delhi Cornet band from the time of
it's organization up to the time of his
death. On Jan. 10th last he applied
for admission to Court Delhi, No.

VAN SAINT IN TOWN.

Capt. Samuel r. VanSant of Wi
mona was in the city last Saturday af-
ternoon. He came in on the after
Moons Northwestern train, and was
eu route for Morton. where he deliv-
cred an grafton on Lincoln at Lin
coin anniversary celebration that even
ing.
He spent about half an hour in Red
wood Falls, during which time he
called on number of old friends in
the city, and also made a number of
new acquaintances. He talked poll
tics very little,- saying that he would
make Redwood county a visit later
for that purpose, and with the hopes
that Redwood county Republicans
would see their way clear to send a
Van SAINT delegation to the next State
convention.
In short talk with GAZETTE re-
porter Capt. Van SAINT stated that
while it was very early in the contest,
he was exceedingly we'll pleased with
the situation up-to date. He was the
only candidate from Southern Mime
sofa, he said, and the fact that the
First and Second districts have no Of
ficers in the State capitol, made his
candidacy for the gubernatorial posi-
ton all the stronger The fact, too,
that he has recently came out strong
ly in favor of the reelection of Senator
Davis, has had good effect on his
candidacy.

THE SECOND ANNUAL.
Plenty of Fun at the Woodmen
Bal MasQue.

Ihe annual masquerade ball of
Redwood Camp, Modern Woodmen
of America, was given at the opera
house on st. Valentines night-last
Monday. It was full of sensations
original costumes, lively people, and
young people in costumes that never
grow old. For gorgeous costumes it
was comparatively tame with the
masquerade of last February, but still
there was duo costuming that for
labor far excelled anything seen in the
opera house year ago.
At nine o'clock there we're hardly
ten masqueraders in the hall. The
Irish hod carrier was there, minus his
hod, but he was there in excellent con-
dition just the same. The Hebrew
diamond merchant, wrapped in heavy
fnrs, afterwards discarded, was there,
an every now and then humored the
spectators by edging up to a non
masqueraded lady and showering
more or less attentions on her. Later
he discarded the furs and displayed a
spark outfit that would have made
Solomon envious had they been genu-
inc. Several Topsies hoped in, one
of them great deal more active than
all others, and easily carrying off the
honors of the >crowd. Columbia was
there in short skirts, and the Red Rid
ing Hoods we're almost too numerous
to mention. Knights-gay Lotharios
of the time of the Henrys, whirled in
the room swinging their capes as if to
disguise their moves, and even the
three eyed Dick of English ruler fame,
limped around the crowd.
Grover Cleveland called in to pay
his respects to Klondike and Colorado
Democrats and Republicans, and was
induced to trip the toe for couple Of
quadrilles before the unmasking. He
was perfect in makeup and dignifed
in bearing. Maj. Mckinley or Napol-
eon-either one-was represented in
both a soldier and craftsmanship like
manner. The inhabitant of the land
of the rising sun-the celestial-came
in, did more clever turns on the floor
than any one else, and wa]tzed off
with the prize. With the dashing
Topsy hold of his queue the two
waltzed and waltzed around the room
to the amazement of the spectators.
The clown was present-the UNPAID
ded clown with the retired alderman
ic gait, and as nudge went into the
abdomen the incog became cog. The
handsomely attired pretty girl was
there in costume of blue, black bodice
and marble surmounted crown.
Along about ten o'clock a party of
Klondikers dropped into the hall. The
party was four in number. They
we're attired in genuine Klondike
style, carried shovels, blankets, picks,
and the washing pan. Nuggets of
gold we're in shot bag, and every
now and then q wash occurred. A
game, ditto, and the masqueraders
surrounded them. On their backs
hung numerous signs of the fortunes
made, and of their wants, and these
four excellent masqueraders, despite
the door tender, got out and unmasked
in a private place half an hour after
their first appearance.

WELL GO WEST.

Dover, Nov. 2.-Attorney-Generaf
Robert c. White stated yesterday that
he would attend the trial OF Mrs. Cor
della Botkin in San Francisco.
Mr.. White said further that from
present indications he would leave Del
aware for the West about the first OF
December. The Encouragement mas
decided to make the fight decidedly
hard. as it is the last hope of getting
a chance at the supposed murderess
It is the opinion OF the Delaware au-
thorities that sympathy for the accused
woman may be worked up among the
San Francisco jurors and acquittal b'
probably effected in face OF very dam
aging evidence.
If this be the case, and Mrs. Cor
della Botkin is released on a verdict o
not guilty, the entire chances ar
against the Delaware authorities eve
getting her here for trial.
