An Expensive serenade.

Sheriff Long brought Il number of
quite prominent professional men, bus
mess men and farmers up from Andale
last Thursday evening, charged with
disturbing the peace, A man who had
recently knelt hymen's altar, was by
the aforesaid, charivaried, The crowd
confessed to having made all the
noise they could, but said it was the
custom in the locality, and that in
times past the complaining witness
had been the nolsiest of the band.
Whether he got mad when the scales
we've turned or just wished to even up
with the boys as good joke, we do
not know, but anyway the offense
amounted to disturbing the peace,
and they we're all fined, the whole
costs to the crowd probably amounting
to not less than 800 90.

POLITICS AND NEWS.
Gossip and Opinions Gathered In
the Capital City.

The reelection of A. G. Clausen
as chief grain inspector, his resigna-
ton because Gov. Lind would not
cooperate with him in the perfor
nance of the duties of his Office, and
the election of E. S. Reishus in his
place, has, during the past two
weeks, eclipsed all other political
topics. The indignation which has
found expression in the newspapers
throughout the state has in many
instances been very pronounced.
The Minneapolis Times, a Demo
cratic organ and supporter of Gov.
Lind, which is issued at the most
important grain market in the state,
and the country for that matter,
ought to speak with considerable au-
thority in this connection. We re-
produce the Times editorial in the
matter in full, believing that it is as
lenient as circumstances permit.
Underthe caption, Governor Lind S
Triumph, the Times SAYS:
Gov. Lind is human and is there
fore jubilant over the outcome Of
the grain-inspectorship matter. Mr..
Clausen has resigned. MIR. Reishus
has been chosen to succeed him as
chief grain inspector and General
Becker voted for Reishus in accord
ance with Governor Lind's request.
The chief executive has won-for the
time being. The Times feels con.
strained to add the qualifying and

THE REDWOOD GAZETTE.
SOME COUNTY HISTORY.
How Redwood County Has Become
One of the Richest in the State.

The first meeting OF the county
commissioners of Redwood county
occurred on April 10Th, 1865, at a
time when Redwood county en-
braced all Of it's present area, and
extended west to the State line. 0.
G. Martin, John S. G.. Homer, and
J. r. Thompson were the first COM
missioners, and on the morning of
that day they approved the bond of
Jacob Tipperary as county treasur-
err and J. R. Thompson as sheriff.
That was all the business transact
ed at the morning session. In the
afternoon E. E. Jeffries was elected
county auditor pro tenn, in place of
T. W. Castor, who was absent for
some reason. Sam. McPhail was
appointed road supervisor of the
county, James w. Hardness was
elected assessor, and license to sell
liquor was fixed at $25 Col. Sam.
McPhail, who was big part of the
county at about that time, was
directed to purchase supplies for
the county officials and that meeting
adjourned.
The second meeting Of the board
of which the late O. G. Martin had
been elected chairman at the first
meeting, was held on Sept. 9th,
1865, and only Messrs. Martin and
Homer were present. Edward
March was appointed district exam
liner, whatever that Office may be,
while Chairman Martin was author
ized to hire suitable rooms for
county Offices. A tax of q mills
was levied for school purposes, six
mills for State purposes and three
mills for county purposes. At this
meeting the board adopted resolu-
ton to hire money of Col. Sam. Nc
Phail at the rate of IL per cent. dis
count on the county orders, the
county's financial condition at that
time being at very low ebb.
On Oct LIST Of that year the COM
missioners held a special meeting
and constituted the whole of Red
wood county at that time as a
special election district, and or
dered the November election to be
held at the residence of J. S. G..
Homer. Another meeting was
held the same year, on Dec. %, at
which time the salary of the county
auditor was fixed at $50 per year,
and few small bills to defray cleo
ton expenses were allowed.
On Jan. I'd, 1866, Edward March
became county auditor, and the
county commissioners were 0. G.
Martin, Hugh Curry and John Win
tiers. On April Goth, 1866, the re-
ceipts for the previous year were
shown to have amounted to only
