Next Tuesday, Feb. 2Sth, is the
last day for paying your personal
property tax, providing you wish
to avoid the penalty. Where posi-
BILE, it is better to call early at the
county treasurer's Office and pay
the county bill against you, and
thus avoid the rush that is sure to
come on the last day or two.
Mic. Shones, a former resident of
Shutdown, but now residing near
Hinckley, this State, recently had
both feet frozen SO bad that amputa-
ton was necessary. Mr.. Schemes
was returning home from town, and

ing himself so badly that he re-
NAMED unconscious for some time.
It was during this time that his
feet were frozen.
The St. Peter Herald states that
James B. Robinson, who died last
month in West Newton, Nicollet
county, left 81, 900 to be distributed
among the poor of St. Peter, and the
amount was so stipulated in his
will. Mrs. Alex. Harkin of St.
Peter, mother of c. E. Lamberton of
this CITY, was named as the person
to have charge of the distribution.
The Herald further says: This
legacy shows the philanthropic
spirit of the deceased, and it is GER
tain that many poor homes will be
frightened by reason of his be-
nevolence.
Deputy VIM. Week came over
from Walnut Grove last Thursday
afternoon, having in his custody
VIM. Keenen, who has been held to
the grand jury on the charge of
grand larceny. It appears that a
party named Henry Krugeel left
quite a large amount of personal
property in the care of Keenen for
safe keeping. Keenen sold the
greater portion of the same, ap-
propriated the money, and hence
was arrested for grand larceny, the
particular count being that of taking
a horse valued at $75. He will be
confined in the county Jail until the
grand jury investigates his case.
S. J. Race, wife and daughter ar
rived in Chicago on Thursday, 60
ing over the Albert Lea route from
Minneapolis, and Mr.. Race writes
that his party received splendid
service over this route, the limited
train being a flyer in the full sense
of the word, and travelling on as fine
a roadbed as he ever had the pleas
ure of travelling on. In Chicago, on
that day, he writes all flags on
public buildings were at half mast,
on account of that day being the an
n.versary of the blowing up of the
Maine. Corn picking in northern
Illinois is not yet done, he says, and
he thinks the farm buildings in
Iowa and northern Illinois are not
up with those of southern Mime
sofa. Mr. Race and party left over
the Big Four route for Louisville at
9 a. M, Thursday morning, taking
the Louisville & Nashville there for
various points along that line, the
press ticket giving the party all
railroad privileges.
Edwin Fosgate died in San Fran
cisco last month, according to let
ter received by J. B. Robinson of
this city. He had been sick for
over a year prior to his demise.
Two of his daughters residing there
are also seriously ill. To the new
corners in Redwood county Mr.. Eos
gate was not known, but to old sett-
lers who assisted at the cradle of
young Redwood county the name of
Edwin Fosgate is familiar, and will
awaken many of the early incidents
of the county and city in their bos-
oms. He was the fifth settler in
Redwood Falls. The first was Sam
uel McPhail and family, the second
was ]. S. G.. Homer and family, the
third was ]. R. Thompson and fam
