Beats the KlOndike.

Mr.. A. G. Thomas of Marysville, Tex,
has found a more valuable discovery
than has yet been made in the Klon-
dixie, for years he suffered untold agony
from consumption accompanied by
hemorrhages, and was absolutely cured
by DIR. Kings New Discovery for con-
sumption, coughs and colds. He de-
clares that gold is of little value in COM
parison to this marvellous cure, would
have it even if it cost a hundred dol
aars bottle. Asthma, bronchitis and
all throat and lung affections are posi-
lively cured by DIR. Kings New Dis
covery for consumption. Trial bottles
free at Hitchcock& Co.'s drug store.

ferent boards Of county commissioners
and officers who haYe been ID control
from time to time to say, that the
management Of county affairs has
been prudent, business like and con-
sentative, and to them, in large de-
gree, is due the high credit and fnan-
cial standing of the county. The pres
ent indebtedness of the county is
5000, in county bonds, drawing in
terest at five per cent, issued for a
part of bonus of $4,000, given the
Minnesota Valley Railway in 1878,
and the balance for county buildings.
The county property consists of
court house, erected at a cost Of
$4,000, jail, costing $4,000, and a
county poor farm valued at $1,000.
This does not take account of delin-
quent taxes. The valuation by the as
sessment of 1897 was &,842,458. The
number of acres in crop last year was
Isl, lilo; add to this say 100000 acres
in pasture, and we find that the farm
ers have utilized three fourths of the
10000 acres contained in the county.

of religious bodies and secret orders
and general development of the agri-
cultural and other industries of the

REDWOOD COUNTY.
Events of the County From the
Date of its ORGANIZATION.
BY 0. b. TURRELL.


To a new settlement, after that of
shelter and the means of substance,
the question of transportation is Of the
highest importance. At the beginning
the only means of communication be-
tween the little colony and St. Paul,
the general market and base of sup
plies, which even at Mankato was too
uncertain to afford satisfactory bust
ness facilities with the outside world.
At New Ulm, the next place of i'm
portance up the river, boats we're only
expected to run for a month or two in
the spring and possibly month in
the fall. And yet the energetic set
tiers at Redwood Falls determined to
do the best they could to induce
steamboat owners to risk trip to
their growing settlement.
From 1865 to 1876 it was nearly al
ways possible for small stern wheel
boats to make trip or two to Red
wood Falls in the spring, and during
one season the stage of water permit
ted Gen. M. D. Flower to reach there
several times with his boat, the Osce-
ola. The IPioneer was chartered by
ID. l.. Bigham in the spring of 1869,
loaded with lumber at St. Paul and
made a successful trip. In 1875 a
large warehouse was built at the land
ing on the Minnesota, called Riverside,
by company for the purpose of pro-
viding storage, and an outlet by the
river for the wheat crop, of which
$4,000 bushels was bought and stored
during the next fall and winter. In
the spring of '76 two side wheel steam
boats arrived at Riverside, loaded with
lumber, and took out the wheat in
store and large amount from Red
wood and private parties. To the
warehouse men and Daniels & Son,
who had opened a general store and
built hotel the transportation scheme
seemed solved, but it proved only a
case of whistling before getting out Of
the woods. In few days it was
learned that the boats were stranded
on a sandbar, at the mouth of Blue
Earth river, and the parties who
shipped the wheat we're called on to
furnish sacks and men to transfer the
grain to the railroad. This practically
put an end to the Riverside and steam
boat transportation scheme. The ware
house and hotel were removed to Red
wood Falls and used in building an
elevator and the first Commercial no.
tel. Capt. Leroy Newton made a
further attempt to utilize the river. He
took large barge and rugged wheel
at the stern, which was propelled by
an ordinary eighthorse thresher pow
or, this, however, proved unsuccessful
though it was Of some help to reach
New Ulm, which was the end of. his
run. The Winona & St. Peter Rail
way was built to Lamberton and
through the southern part of the
county in 1873, and the Minnesota
Valley was completed to Redwood
Falls in August 1873, and the Mime
apolis & St. Louis built to North Red
wood in 1885.
The first newspaper published was
the Redwood Falls Patriot, in 1868,
with Col. Sam. McPhail as editor, and
Thos. M. Perry of St. Peter, as pro
prietor. This was succeeded by the
Redwood Falls Mail, in September of

NELSON A. MILES.
Sketch of the Remarkable Career
of a Noble Warrior.

MAJOR General Nelson A.
Miles, at present at the head of
the Army of the United States,
has had a remarkable career in
battles. The following COM
pilation of his deeds, compiled
by Mr.. w. F. Dickinson, of this
city, assisted by the editor of
this paper, will undoubtedly be
read with great interest, as Mr..
Dickinson was member of
Geh. Miles army corps during
the civil war.
Major General Nelson A..
Miles, who now commands the
United States Army, achieved
his renown as a soldier during
the rebellion, in the Second
Army Corps. That Corps. which
under the command of Sumner,
Couch, Warren and Humph-
reys-an illustrious roll of
American soldiers-left nearly
40, 900 men killed and wounded
upon the battle fields of
Virginia, Maryland and Penn
sylvania.
The Corps was organized in
March, 1862, and was then COM
posed of two divisions-one un-
der Richardson, the other under
Sedgwick, and commanded by
Gen. Sumner. It was the corps
which crossed the Chickahom-
my to rescue the beaten left of
the army at Fair Oaks; which
made the great assault at
Mary's Heights at Fredericks-
burg; on which fell the fury of
Longstreet's great charge on
the third day at Gettysburg;
which was the rear guard at
Auburn and Bristoe; which
stormed the salient at Spottsyl-
vania, and at Farmville fought
the last infantry battle of the
war against Lees army.
At this time, 1862, Nelson
Miles was only Lieutenant of
the line in the Twenty Second
Massachusetts,.
At Fair Oaks we find him
serving as All aid to Brigadier
General Howard. Towards
horse having been killed, and
himself seriously wounded,
which resulted in the loss of his
right arm, he directed Lieut..
Miles to collect the companies
of the Eighty-First Penn
sylvania, which had become
separated from the other wing
of the regiment, and hold the
open field on the right of the
railroad. Here he acquitted him
self we'll, and though new to
war, gave promise of future re
nown. And Gen. Walker says of
him: "He showed there, to the
admiration of all beholders, that
address and gallantry which
were to secure a promotion of
unexampled rapidity, and to
make the name of Nelson A
Miles the pride of the volunteer
soldiers of the Union.
The Lieutenant-Colonel of
the Sixty-First New York, hav-
ing been killed at Fair Oaks, the
Governor of that State selected

services on the Peninsula, to
