Julius A. Schmahl of The GAZETTE
was one of the successful competitors
in the recent prize contest given by
Pettengill & Co. of Boston, Mass, for
promptness in furnishing information
on which the base is descriptive
write-up of Redwood Falls, to be pub
lished in Pettengill & Co.'s National
Newspaper Directory and Gazetteer.
The accuracy of the information was
also basis for awarding the prize.
Rev. F. J. Barackman of Redwood
Falls preached the baccalaureate SER
mon to the graduating class of our
school last Sunday, says the Dawson
Sentinel. He took as his text the
words from the bible, "Gather up the
Fragments and preached very forci
BILE sermon, exhorting his young listen
ers to make the best of use of the
small things of life. The opera house
was we'll filled and all listened atten-
lively to his remarks. He is pleasant
and interesting speaker and all who
heard him felt benefited thereby.
Attorney A. E. Clark of Mankato,
son of John Clark, residing near this
city, continues to bob up pleasantly in
the moving world. Recent numbers
of the Mankato Review report him as
having made scholarly address to
the graduating class of the Garden
City schools, and also that the Man
kato delegates to the Populist conven-
ton are FAVORABLE to supporting him
as a Populist nominee for congress.
The Review says: "Mankato may fur
nish the next candidate for congress
on the Populist ticket. Attorney A.
E. Clark is being talked up by men
who affiliate with the party that has
in it's ranks Ignatius Donnelly and
Judge Canty. 1t is said that Mr. A.
E. Clark has been asked by number
of Populists to get into trim for the
fight. The gentlemen who are favor
able to the young attorney say that
he would prove to be strong man.
He is a good orator, makes fine ap-
pearance before an audience and has
ability to represent the people"
The missionary society of the Pres
byterian church gave somewhat nov
el entertainment at the church last
Friday evening: 1t was called an GIN
ternational Social and while a num-
Der of nation we're represented by per-
sons in costumes, yet Cuba seemed to
be the central thought of almost the
entire program. Uncle Sam was rep
resented by Chas. johnson, England
by Mrs. Fay Robinson, Cuba by Mrs.
Edwards, Holland by Mrs. E. A. Pease,
Turkey by Mrs. Halves, Japan bv
