judgment by trying to please the
leaders Of his party who claim the
honor of electing him and the right
to dictate to him in the matter of
patronage. At times men have
given promises OF appointments
which the governor could not pos
sibly make when the various inter-
ests of the leaders" were consult
ed, and this has made the governor
some very bitter enemies.
There are some prominent states
men among the fusionists, it is en-
tirely unnecessary to name them,
who have used every effort to make
political capital for themselves out
of the return of the 18th regiment.
They want to be solid with the boys
and their friends and on that &C
count have made themselves con-
spicuous in matters pertaining to
the return of the boys and their
receptions. At the same time that
these politicians give the soldiers
deserved credit for patriotism and
valor they must, in order to suit
the Bryan-Lind anti-expansionists,
pronounce their curse upon the
country for carrying on the war.
How can these narrow guage poll
ticians reconcile their. position to
their country with that to our SOL
diers? How can they justly cele-
brate the bravery of the men who
did the fighting and place laurels
on their brows for victories won if
the cause in which these men have
bravely fought is as unholy as the
anti-expansionists preach? When
the boys come you will find more
than one encourager of Aguinaldo
crawl into his hole and maintain a
discreet silence. The soldiers will
not listen to the abuse of the gov
eminent, which they have served
so we'll, without resentment.

SCHOOL LOAN TAX LEVY.

The State Auditor has certified to
the county auditor the sums of mon
ey which are to be levied by the
sevaral school districts in this coun-
ty to meet the accruing interest and
principal falling due upon bonds
issued by said district to the State
for loans. Some of the districts
have not voted any money for this
purpose at all and the most of them
have not voted enough to cover the
amount certified to. In these cases
it will be the duty of the county
auditor to extend the tax for this
purpose on the certificate of the
State auditor. The district bonded
and amounts to be raised in each
are given below.

nothing further was said about the
matter until Opple met Marvin at
the meat market.
Opple thought that Marvin, who
is a very young man, could be
bluffed into paying over the per-
centage, and he went at him trough
shod' in the meat market. But
Marvin did not take the bluff lin
fact he remained firm up to the time
that he looked down the muzzle OF
Opple's revolver, when in less than
a second he turned as white as a
sheet. He says that the whole
thing was done so quick that it was
almost impossible for him to recall
the preliminary details Of Opple' S
bluff.
Mr.. Opple had some trouble with
7. H. King year or two ago, and
Mr.. King had the fellow arrested
for brandishing revolver and
shooting several holes in the air
during or just after the trouble.
But the court decided that Opple
was too far away when he'was plug
ging the atmosphere to hurt Mr..
King and discharged him. After
wards Opple brought a suit against
Mr.. King for false arrest, alleging
big damages. by reason of wide
spread circulation of the arrest in
The REDWOOD GAZETTE, but the case
received quietus in the district
court.
When Opple was arraigned be-
fore His Honor, Judge Chadderdon,
and the complaint was read to him,
he entered plea of guilty, and was
Immediately held to the grand jury.

OppLE AND HIS GUN.
Came Near Putting a Chunk OF
Lead Into Will Marvin.

Matt. Opple was arrested last
Thursday morning, and Immediately
held to the grand jury on the charge
of assault in the second degree. The
assault was committed on William
A. Marvin, son of S. B. Marvin, OF
Redwood Falls township.
The offense occurred about four
o'clock last Wednesday afternoon.
Opple was conversing with Marvin
in the meat market of Pfeiffer &
Lichtwarck, apparently excited.
All of sudden Mr.. Lictwarck OBJ
served that Opple pulled gun out
of his pocket and placing it squarely
in Marvin s face, and only a few
inches from it, said:
'sNow, d-n you, will you pay
me?'
Mr.. Lichtwarck ordered Opple to
put up the gun, and quick at
that Opple obeyed, and later was
arrested for the assault, which was
changed into assault in the second
degree Thursday morning.
Marvin is running threshing
machine this year. One of his en-
ployees up to day or two before
the assault was committed, was
Matt. Opple, who had been en-
gagged at the rate of $3.50 per day,
and it was mutually understood be-
tween Marvin and Opple that in
case the latter remained with the
machine until it was housed for the
winter he was to receive a certain
percentage of the net profits of the
fall s work with the machine. Op-
pie, however, concluded not to re-
main with the machine and quit.
When he quit Mr.. Marvin paid him
all that was due him at the rate Of
$3.50 per day, fact admitted by
Opple. But the latter wanted q
percentage of the net proceeds &C.
crued up to that time. Mr.. Marvin
refused on the ground that he had
not lived up to his contract, and

l'HE REDWOOD GAZETTE.
BY AIKEN E. SCHMAHL.
MATTERS OF Interest.
Regarding Politics and Affairs OF
State.

Congressman Tawney, who has
given good deal of attention to
antitrust legislation, takes this
view of the question in regard tc
trusts:
''To my mind the most importan,
question involved does not get the
consideration it deserves. That is
whether the unrestricted opportun-
itW to control price and production,
the Capitalization OF productive in
dustry, and the destruction of the
opportunity for individual effort
will or will not be injurious to the
public and seriously menace the
welfare of the nation. If these re-
suits follow the consolidation of cap
ital into monopolistic forms of or
ganization no one can claim that
such consolidation or the organiza-
ton of gigantic corporations would
not be injurious, as constituting a
serious evil which should be
checked. Control or supervision OF
these corporations or so-called
trusts by the federal or State gov
ernments will not reach all phases
of the evil, as it does not contem-
plate going beyond the methods
employed by the trust.
1.-The remedy, whatever it may
be, in order TO be effective must
preserve the equality of the condi-
tions of production and the law OF
free competition. The most effec-
tive remedy, it seems to me, will be
a system of graduated federal taxa
ton, one that would enable the
smaller aggregations of capital in
any given industry to compete
with those of larger capital, which
would be the result if the federal
government imposed a higher tax
upon the one than upon the other.
In this way the conditions of pro-
duction could be preserved, and
likewise the opportunity for free
competition.
A leading Democratic organ in
discussing the trusts says that 'the
several States have it in their pow
err now to substantially regulate the
trusts, and to put an end to monop-
olies maintained through the agency
of trusts. - 1t forgets, however, to
say that in several States, Mime
sofa among them, Republican legis-
latures have enacted antitrust
laws and in most of the States
where the Democrats have, had the
power, the laws favor, encourage,
and put premium on trusts. The
State of New Jersey is one nota-
BILE instance.
Gov. Lind has undoubtedly made
many enemies against his better

A RATHBONE FAREWELL.
rendered to Mr.. and Mrs. a. II.
Anderson Last Week.

"A recepLlOn Was Jenuefeu W WI.
and Mrs. A. H. Anderson of Delhi,
formerly of Redwood Falls, by the
Rathbone Sisters and Knights OF
Pythias, on Castle Hall on Wednes-
day evening of last week. The re-
ception was quite largely attended
by the two fraternities, and before
it was over Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson
were presented with the society
pins of the Rathbone Sisters.
The reception was planned to oc-
cur two weeks prior to the time OF
it's occurance, but owing to illness
and death in Mr.. Anderson part
ner's family the affair was postponed
to the above occasion. It was
strictly informal, as it were, the
friends of Mr.. Anderson gathering
around him at frequent intervals to
talk over old time and his future,
while Mrs. Anderson S friends did
likewise. Shortly before 10 O'Clock
D. r. Price sang a solo, and was
followed by G. T. Howard, who
made an extended speech on the
Pythian Knighthood and Rathbone
Sisterhood, and the advantages of
both. In very pretty peroration
he called Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson S
attention to the fact that while they
were travelling in strange land
the friends of Redwood Falls would
seem like the highest peak of the
Black Hills, not seen at the base of
the hills, but rising in all it's grandeur
and beauty as one travelled away
from it. Mr.. Towards remarks
left a deep impression on the coup
lie in whose honor the fete was Civ
en-. as we'll as on the remainder of
the audience.
Mrs, Philbrick sang beautiful
farewell solo and this concluded the
short program of exercises. The
row of tables was covered and the
party invited to partake of lunch,
the menu of which contained the
finest specimens of the excellent
culinary work of the ladies of the
Sisterhood. An hour or more was
spent at the tables, and at the con-
clusion H. A. Baldwin stepped for
ward to where Mr.. and Mrs. An
derson were, and without saying a
word pinned the Sisterhood badges
on them. Applause followed the
silent presentation, after which an
informal hop was INDUCED in, last
lug until midnight, when the party
broke up with the kindest wishes
for health, long life and success to
Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson.
The couple will leave for Ell Paso,
Texas, in short time, and will
spend several weeks in the Ell Paso
Valley. From there they will grad
ually work up to Santa Fe, where
the elevation is much higher than
at Ell Paso, and to which Mr.. An
derson desires to become slowly ae-
climated, with the hopes that it
will restore him to complete health.
All over Redwood county, where
Mr.. Anderson is so widely known,
will come wishes for a speedy res
Itoration to health, ,esses

CITY COUNCIL.
The Anti-SCreens In Saloons Ordi-
nance ADOPTED.


The city council held regular
meeting on Tuesday evening of last
week, at which the new anti-saloon
ordinance was passed by a vote OF
3 to 2, Mayor Smith casting the de-
Gliding vote in favor of the ordinance.
Aids. Caswell and Hunter voted
aye with the Mayor, while Aids.
Aune and Melges voted in the neg
alive, their position being that the
liquor dealers of this city were al
ready living up to the Sunday clos
ing law, and that the ordinance was
not needed.
The passing of the ordinance was
a genuine surprise to everybody,
and particularly to those who were
opposed to it. When Mayor Smith
introduced it a month ago it was
believed that there would not be a
single vote in favor of it, it being
then understood that the two sec
ond ward aldermen were as strong
ly opposed to it as were their col
leagues of the First ward, and what
mysterious work was done to change
them, particularly Aid. Caswell,
cannot be fathomed at the present
time.
The ordinance provides that all
persons and licenses of spirituous
and intoxicating liquors, using, &C.
cupying and maintaining any build
ing within the corporate limits OF
said city of Redwood Falls for the
sale of spirituous and Intoxicating
liquors are hereby prohibited to
use, maintain, place or erect, on
Sunday, at, in or about the doors,
windows, openings, or in the inter-
ior of said building, any blind,
screen, painted or frosted glass,
shade, curtain, partition, or other
device, so as to interfere with a
view of the interior, of said premis-
es, in which such spirituous and
intoxicating liquors are sold.
The ordinance provides for pun
ishment of a fine of not more than
$50 to anyone who violates the ordi-
nance, but does not provide for a
punishment by Imprisonment in
case the fine is not paid.
The council passed the special
assessment roll No. Is, amounting
to a little over $1O9, for the cement
sidewalk running along the north
side of John Franks property, oc-
cupied by Martin Lohrenz's saloon,
which roll calls for an assessment
up against the Frank property.
A reminder that the city has tax
en- charge of and is now the owner
of the instruments of the Redwood
Falls band came up in the shape Of
a bill from a musical house for $50. ID
for clarionet for the band.
About Is bills were passed, in
Guiding the salary roll for the en-
ployees on the water main extern
sion.
