STOLE $3.50.

Fred. Dripps, a bov in the employ
of the Winona Lumber Co. was un-
der arrest for short time Monday
afternoon, on the charge of having
stolen $3.50 from the company
Mr.. Green, the company agent at
this place, had collected the amount
OF one party just before dinner, and
placed it in the money drawer to re-
main there until he made his deposit
in the afternoon. He then went to
dinner. Fred took hatchet and
pried the drawer open, evidently as
blind, as he had a key. ;SHe took
the money, left the drawer halfway
open, placed the hatchet back in it's
place, and then went to buggy
shed near by, where he hid the
money under jug, the bottom of
which had been broken out.
AS soon as Mr.. Green returned
he observed that the money drawer
was open and his suspicious were
at once aroused. Going to the
drawer they were confirmed. He
called Fred. and the latter claimed
that he had been piling lumber ever
since Mr.. Green's departure, and
stated that he had seen boy friend,
giving his name, pass that way.
Mr.. Green told the boy to remain in
the office and went up town, and
after conference with Chief Crooks
a warrant was sworn out for the
arrest of Fred. Dripps.
The officer and agent returned to
the lumber yard and after consider
able of sweating and the pulling
out of the warrant Fred. decided to
reveal the whereabouts of the
money, and the officer and agent 60
ing with him found the money in the
place above stated
Mr.. Green afterwards decided, on
account Of the boys parents, that
/ he would not prosecute the young
man.

mortgaged, and A. o. Gimmestad,
the Belview real estate agent, had
succeeded in having it transferred
to Mic Sacmary, with an agreement
on the part Of Amund Wiik to take
such equity as Mr.. Gimmestad
could get for him. What that is is
not yet known. The son was in
Belview all night Wednesday.
The deceased leaves a wife and
nine children, and they are in des-
titute circumstances, some of them
fairly advanced in years, while
number is a feeble-minded daughter
of 25 years, who is not over three
feet high.

MRS. MULLENIX.

Rev. Hannah Mullenix. w. C. T.
U. State organizer and evangelist,
stopped in this city over Sunday,
enroute for country appointment.
She spoke in the afternoon at the NJ.
E. church to the ladies. Her in
formal talk on various phases of
woman s work, including purity
training of childhood in the home
and in the school, was much ap-
preciated by a large company of
sympathetic listeners.
In the evening Mrs. Mullenix
filled the Methodist pulpit: preach
ing from the texts, who is
sufficient for these things; In God is
our suficiency.' All who heard
her were charmed by her earnest,
eloquent words, pleasing delivery
and graceful personality Mrs.
Mullenix expects to return to Red
wood Falls in the near future. Some
special lines OF work which are sure
to meet the popular approval, are
under consideration, and will re-
ceive further notice. We bespeak
for the lady a cordial welcome on
her return.

SOUTHERN SCHOOLS.
Mr. Races Interesting Letter to
Local Teachers.

The sixth monthly meeting of the
Redwood Co. Teachers association
was held at the Redwood Falls high
school building on April 8.
The usual features of question
box and current events were omitted
to make room for Mr.. Races ad-
dress, which was heartily apppre-
ciated by all present. The lecturer
dwelt chiefly upon the educational
features of the south with which he
has familiarized himself through
more than year residence as we'll
as by recent visit as a repre-
sentative of The GAZETTE
''The 'proverbial Dixie shiftless-
ness appears in full force by the
time one reaches middle Kentucky
and is evinced in the southern
school system as we'll as in other
lines of activity. Their schools are
largely without supervision, every
teacher being left to work out his
own (O and his pupils (?) salvation.
In Pensacola, Fla, at the time of
Mr.. Races visit in March the teach
ers had received not one cent of pay
since October. The city-of 10000
souls--has no superintendent of
schools, no school library, no slate
blackboards and little apparatus Of
any kind. The southern school
year consists of Z or 8 months. with
daily sessions from 9 a. m. to 2:3O p.
m. Schools are OF two kinds, those
for the blacks (or ''niggers," as
they are invariably called) taught
by octoroons, quadroons, and an
occasional full-blood; and those for
whites with white teachers. Colored
teachers throughout do as good
work as the whites. Lack of super
vision results in general slackness
and tendency toward repetition of
the Squeers type of pedagogue.
The schools of Birmingham, Ala,
are very good, due to the energetic
and intelligent work Of the city
superintendent. Here very little
arithmetic is done below the third
grade, the time saved being devoted
to music, sense-training and draw
ing. The text books on history
used in Dixie are modified to suit
the feeling Of the south. Uncle
Tom Cabin will need to be re-
vised, as it is exaggerated. The
blacks, who in many cases outnum-
ber the whites three to one. are
kept down because they must. be
kept down. This is the universal
verdict of the most intelligent
southerner. A hundred years from
now, perhaps they shall have risen
to the degree of civilization neces-
sary to a voice in the government.
The late war has had an important
unifying effect upon our country.
It is no longer we but 'us'. -
In the discussion of pedagogy
several important points were
brought out. The chief value !of a
recitation from the teachers point
of view is that she learns the weak
ness and the strength of her pupils
and is thus enabled to give help in
the direction most needed. Science
may be more valuable than literature
in the development of morals.
By unanimous vote it was de-
cided to make the next meeting of
the association-the last of the wear
of a social rather than literary
character. It is hoped that every
teacher ip the county will be present
on May II.

Mr.. SedgwIck is an unusually
pleasant gentleman and seems to be
the right man for the place. In
conversation with him he said that
there was no doubt but what the
road would be built this summer,
and that he looked for decided
boom in Redwood county, as re-
suit OF the extension. He gave
some of his experiences as right-of-
way man, saying that they were
disagreeable only where the survey
forced him to negotiate for strips

removal of barns, houses, etc.

SATSUMA FINISHED THIRD
FOUR FAvoRITES IN FRONT AT
OAKLAND.
The Ring Touched UP Over the Win
of straightforward Shows
Old-Time Form-Dunois
a Good Performer.

Reopening day at Oakland track was
attended by the usual large crowd of reg
ulars, augmented by many new faces,
attracted no doubt by the card which was
an especially catchy one The wins of
the well backed outsiders, Brown Prince
and Strongoli, to start off with, shook
the ring up, which, followed by the victo-
ries of four straight favorites, caused
more than feeling Of unrest among the
layers of odds.
The mile and a sixteenth selling affair
was responsible for the prettiest bit of
racing seen during the afternoon. The
blaze faced Satsuma was installed first
choice in the betting, but at post time
Rosinante had been played down to equal
favoritism. Pat Dunno and his following
set their checks down on David Tenny,
and only hard luck prevented them from
cashing. The outsider Ballister made the
running for a short distance, when H.
Martin moved to the front with Tenny.
He was followed by Jones, astride of Sat
suma, and when the stretch was reached
the pair engaged in a battle royal. Pass
ing the paddock, with Satsuma beaten,
Martin failed to observe Thorpe coming
fast on the outside with Rosinante, and
was defeated by a head in 1:46s4. Satsuma
was three lengths further away.
A very cheap bunch of platers lined up

a 3 to 2 favorite. He ran a frightful race,
never showing a particle of speed. Brown
Prince, ridden by Powell, and and 10 to
1 in the betting, won easily from Eppin
ger.
The sprint for three-year-old over the
Futurity course was considered such
moral for Lavator that the odds
against the Jennings entry fell to 1 to 2
in no time. There was such a we'll de-
fined play on Strongoli that from 10 the
price was sliced down to s and 10.
Bullman got the outsider away first and
he fairly rolled in, four open lengths
ahead of the favorite. The other starters
did not seem overburdened with speed.
With First Call scratched from the
seven furlong run Dunois was sent out
to chance. Quickly showing in front
Ryan's useful horse galloped In first,
couple of lengths in advance of Whitcomb.
San Venado came from the rear, taking
show honors from Recreation.
The old sprinter O'Connell was ready

lowed. With Piggott on his back he was
in front almost from the jump, winning
cleverly at the finish from Eta H. Cyril

MISSING MICHAEL FREESE.
Disappeared Last September and His
Friends Fear Foul PLAY.

Michael Freese, sometimes known as
"Balzer," disappeared from this city four
months ago, and nothing has been heard
from him since that time. His friends
and relatives are mystified at his long
absence from home, and are beginning to
believe there has been foul play.
The missing man was employed for a
number of years as floor walker for the
Cutting Packing Company, and at the
time Of his Disappearance was working
for the corporation, and was considered
by his employers as one of their most
faithful men. The company has interest
ed itself in an endeavor to locate Freese,
and every effort is being made to aScer-
tain his whereabouts.
On September % last Freese went to
work as usual, accompanied by his wife.
Mrs. Freese went to her husbands place
of business in the evening, and they start
ed home together. Freese entered sa-
loon on Market street while on the way
home and left his wife standing on the
sidewalk, telling her he would be out in
few minutes. This is the last time he
has been seen by any Of his friends. She
waited for some time, but her husband
not putting in an appearance, she went
to her home, 5 Harrison avenue. alone.
AS Freese had been drinking quite heav-
lily for two weeks previous to his diSap-
pearance, his wife thought when he failed
to come home that he had gone on a
spree; but when several days passed and
he had not put in an appearance she be-
came alarmed and notified her brother,
who made Inquiries for the missing man
At the saloon he entered when he left his
wife Freese was not very well known,
and none of the attaches of the place re-
membered of having seen any one an
swering his description.
The family relations of the missing man
were amicable and he was in good finan-
cial circumstances, so his relatives are at
a loss for motive Freese might have
in leaving the city voluntarily. While
they have about come to the conclusion
that he was foully dealt with, his friends
have not entirely given up hope that he
may be found. They are making every
effort to locate him.

Clever Boxer Needs
Rest and Coin.
He MAY MEET JOE KENNEDY
JACK BONNER AND MANAGER
ARRIVE TODAY.
The National Club Has Invited "The
Only" Tim Hurst to Referee
the Preliminary Bouts of
This Evening.

Kid McCoy-the miniature heavy
weight, who, for reasons best known
to himself, failed to whip Sailor
Sharkey-will leave Chicago to-day for
this city, where he expects to enjoy sew
eral weeks Of glorious climate and in
cidentally reap few dollars by the
powers of his fists.
Mccoy, in letter to a friend, stated
that he did not expect ITO get on
match with any of the enterprising
heavy weights Of Frisco, but that if
there should be any man among them
who aspires to championship form he
(McCoy) may be induced by little
coaxing to put on the gloves again.
Doubtless a twenty-round contest be-
tween Mccoy and Joe Kennedy may
be arranged. 1t will be remembered
that Kennedy was matched to fight jim
JeffrieS in February, and that this pro-
posed match fell through because JEFF
fries recently accepted very hatterlng
offer from an Eastern club to fight
Champion Fitzsimmons. Kennedy has
been training several weeks for the
match and is consequently out in
pocket. However, if some enterprising
club should arrange a bout between
the coy Mccoy and Kennedy it would
certainly pull a large gathering of
ring patrons, as there are thousands of
sports in this city who are very anxious
to see the artful kid in fighting ac
ton. Mccoy is expected to arrive
about Saturday next.
Jack Bonner and his manager, Bo-
gan, will arrive this evening. Bonner
will doubtless be matched to fight
George Green; that is, unless the last
named fighter is still desirous of a
much needed rest.
The National Club has completed all
arrangements for it's entertainment this
evening. Latest news from the train
ing quarters of the men VINO are book
ed to meet, is to the effect that McCon-
nell and Neill are both in fine condi-
ton and that they may be counted
upon to put up a good, stiff argument.
1t is whispered around that Cocker"
Tweedie has been slightly under the
weather for some days past at his
training quarters, which are located at
the Six Mile House, as the result Of
an unexpected meeting with Professor
La Grippe. His trainers contend, how
ever, that the Cocker" is physically
able to go hard race and that he will
give a first-class account of himself
when he meets Charley Tye.
Jockey" Maynard and Willie Cole
are both anxious and ready to open
fire and their friends do not hesitate
to say that their bout will be the most
entertaining feature of the evening.
Jim Mcdonald will referee the McCon-
nell and Neill contest and Tim Hurst
has been invited to pass judgment on
the Tweedie and Tye fifteen round bout.

RELIGIOUS CHANGES OF
THE PAST CENTURY
UNITARIAN CLUB HEARS MANY
VIEWS EXPRESSED.
Jew and Christian Hold That the
Tendency Has Been for Gen
eral Broadening Out.

The Unitarian Club held its regular
meeting and dinner at the Merchants
Club rooms on Sansome street last night
For some time past it has been customary
to have discussion on current topics of
political significance, but last night saw
departure from the usual order, and the
discussion was turned on '"The Religious
Situation at the Close of the Nineteenth
Century
Rev. J. r. Sunderland of Oakland
opened the discussion by telling of the
religious condition in India, the birthplace
and home of the Oldest religions which
have lived unchanged to the present day.
Asia" he said, "is the mother of re-
ligon and sacred books, and India is the
heart and intellect of Asia. Its inhabi
tants are great thinkers, and they think
mostly on religious subjects. Hindooism
or Buddhism is the great religion of
India and is interviewer with the history
of the country. Next comes Brahmanism.
a foreign religion. It's followers are a
superior people, intelligent, independent
but unprogressiye and opposed to any
thing and everything contrary to the
Koran. The Christianizing of India will
be brought about by three things: Eng
lish civilization, now. rapidly spreading;
Indian reform movements and missionary
work
Rabbi Jacob Voorsanger then spoke on
religious progress from the Jewish
standpoint, and the wonderful change eff
fected In the COnulllOn Oh tue Jew III the
past century In that time he has been
given a home, his rights are recognized,
he has lost the hunted look which once
was a mark of the jew and is settling
down to broader ideals and a comfortable
home in America.
Rev. Charles R. Brown of Oakland con-
sidered the Growth Changes and Pros
poets of the Orthodox Churches" Briefly
summarized his opinions were that the old
orthodoxy is dying away in the broader
light of new and advanced religious era.
IL is admitting a wider belief, paying less
attention to dogmas than ever and
preaching Christ'S message Of the
brotherhood of man and universal love.
The evening concluded with a brief his
torical review of the century's religious
changes by Professor Clyde A. Duniway
of Stanford University. He said that the
past century was essentially of Pro-
testantism-not anti-Catholicism. but
that Professionalism which is rejecting
forms and stumbling blocks and allowing
of freedom of growth.
Rev w. B. Geoghegan of Berkeley was
to have spoken on the Basis of Hope for
