COUNTY CONVENTIONS.

The Republican county committee
will probably meet with Chairman
King in this city during the latter
part of this week or the first of next
week, for the purpose of issuing the
call for the Republican county con-
vention for the purpose of electing IL
delegates to the State convention to
nominate State officers, aud also to
elect twelve delegates to the congress
sional convention to nominate a candi-
date to succeed the present representa-
tive in Congress.
The only thing left for the COM
mittee to do is to fix the place for
holding the convention, the new prim-
ary and convention law of Minnesota,
prescribing that all primaries and
conventions of the State shall be held
on the same evening and same day.
The county conventions, then, will be
held on Thursday, June 23d, and the
primaries will probably be held on
the Tuesday evening preceding. The
committee will probably fix the basis
of representation for each town on the
! line laid down by the Republican
State committee.
On the same day that the delegate
convention is to be held there is TO oc-
cur convention to elect officers tc
the Republican county league. This
organization will be new to the county
although not new to the villages and
cities. At the last League convention
new constitution was adopted, and a
constitution for county organizations
was recommended, and at the county
convention this latter constitution will
come up for ratification. The conyen-
ton will be held at 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, and the delegates therein
will come on the same basis as the
delegates to the county convention. A
call will be issued for the same at the
same time that a call is issued for the
delegate convention.
The county committee consists of
A. E. King, chairman; Arson Evans,
Walnut Grove; Chas. Chester, Lam
berton; VIM. Kinman, Morgan; J. M.
Thompson. Belyiew.
The Redwood gazette., 1898-05-19

The deceased was only 21 years of
age at the time of her death. She was
the daughter of Cornelius and Kate
Mahaney, residing two miles from
Faribault, where the deceased was
born, and where Mr.. Houck first met
her, six years ago. while he was en-
ployed at the timers trade in that city.
She was married to Mr.. Houck three
years ago last G October, and the two
resided in Faribault up to last July
when they changed their residence to
Paxton township.
The father, and two brothers,
William and Daniel Mahaney, at
tended the funeral, as did Mr..
Houck's brother and sister-in-law,
Rev. and Mrs. E. r. Houck of Walnut
Grove.
The Redwood gazette., 1898-05-19
MRS. ROSS HOUCK DEAD.

Mrs. Katie Mahaney Houck, wife
of Ross Houck, died at the home of
Mr.. Houck's parents, in Paxton town
ship, one mile east of the city, at about
2 o'clock last Friday morning. Child
birth was the cause of death, the
deceased giving birth to a healthy
male infant shortly before her demise.
The funeral occurred from the
residence at 3 o'clock Sunday after
noon, Rev. G.. II. Way of the
Methodist church, of which the de-
ceased was a probationary member,
conducting the same. It was largely
attended. The remains we're laid to
rest in the Houck plot in the Redwood
cemetery.

TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

The North Side Association held its
last meeting for the year at the high
school building Saturday, May 14th.
The forenoon was devoted to a mu-
sic drill conducted by Prof. Torrens
and reading of current events by
Miss Emma Peterson.
The afternoon session opened al
80 o'clock. Mr.. Bottomley led the
work in literature, giving the greater
part of the time to Charles Dudley
Warner and Gen. Lew Wallace. Fol.
lowing the literary work came class
recitation in arithmetic as taught by
the Speer method. Miss Larkin, the
conductor, had used the new method
only short time, but the results we're
unusually good. Great credit seemed
due both teacher, pupils and Mr..
Speer.
Supt. Bargan of Cottonwood county
was present throughout the meeting,
and took an active part in the discus
sions. He atterward gave short but
very interesting address, being several
times roundly applauded.
At the close of the session enroll
ment blanks we're distributed to be
filled out with the names of the school
children. These blanks are sent out
by the Maine Monument Committee,
the object being to secure the names
of all the school children of the Unit
ed Stated, said names to be placed in
q vault of the monument. The COM
mittee urges the setting apart Thurs
day, May 18th, as Maine Day, for the
recording Of pupils names and hold
ing of suitable exercises, thereby in
stilling lasting lesson in patriotism.

there was no one present from the Fifth

Sloan's seat be declared vacant.
