ness and pleasure.
Miss Johnson of Sleepy Eye was
the guest Of Miss, Matte Bigham
during the latter part Of last week.
Andrew L. Bolstead of Cotton
wood, friend of w. G.. MARITIME,
was visiting with the latter in this
city during. the latter part of last
week.
All of the teachers returned from
their spring vacation last Saturday,
and school started up Monday, with
all unusually large spring enroll
ment.
Hugh Greene and S. A. Byington
have started up livery stable at
the barn back of the residence of
the former on the corner Of Third
and Washington.
Prof. j. L. Torrens of the Anoka
public schools, formerly of this
place, came up from Anoka last
Thursday, and Spent two or three
days in this city and at his farm
south of town.
AS soon as the back bone of this
long winter snap gives away and is
replaced by the gentle zephyrs of
spring, the building boom will COM
mence in Redwood Falls. Aside
from the business blocks already
contemplated many fine residences
will probably be constructed.
At the meeting of Court Redwood,
Independent Order of Foresters, on
Tuesday Of last week, c. V. Everett
was elected financial secretary to
succeed F. H. Clayson,, Frank Hub
bard vice chief ranger to succeed
G. V. Everett, i and A. G. Bur-

John Lewis of Minneapolis, a
brother of Andrew Lewis and Mrs.
S. Pollard of this city, was in Red
wood Falls last Wednesday. Mr..
Lewis has been actively engaged in
selling and disposing of windmills
for several years past, but recently
practically concluded deal where

This is destined to be one of the
latest springs we have experienced
for many a year. Several farmers
in town last Thursday stated that
they could not recall a spring when
some seeding had not been done in
March. This year, however, the
first seeding is not likely to occur
before the middle or latter part OF
next week, and this will probably
only be in few spots. The
weather, while sunny, during the
last of last week, was not warm,
and the sun made very little i'm
preston on the snow.
On last Thursday morning a tele-
gram was received at this Office
stating that ''the parole bill had
passed, and is now a law" The
telegram was from w. P. Dunning-
ton. The bill came very nearly be-
ing defeated the day before, and it
was not until an amendment was
tackled on the same whereby all OF
the members of the board ofpardons
must sign the parole, before lifers
in the penitentiary, having served
20 years without a mark against
them, can be released on parole.
There is some doubt whether all
of the members will O. X. the parole
of the Youngers.
The money order department at
Washington is not so slow, On
Dec. Goth, 1898, J. A. Conway, at
Pasadena, CAL, formerly of this
place, sent THE GAZETTE a money
order for subscription. The money
order, with the letter of advice, was
destroyed by fire in a railroad
wreck in Colorado two or three
days later. On Feb. 25th Mr.. Con-
way notified the publishers of this
paper of the remittance and destruc-
ton, and on March I'd the publish
ers asked the department for a re-
issue. The letter arrived at the
department on March 9Th, and on
March 10th the department sent the
publishers a duplicate order for
the amount
Anoka now has undisputed claim
to the most remarkable COW in the
