John F. Cooper returned home
Saturday afternoon. Instead OF 60

at ST. Paul, where he was informed
that he could purchase sheep cheap

purchased about $50 head-two cars
and has placed them on his farm
south of town for fattening purposes.

The marriage of Miss Nessie Nc
Kittrick, daughter of Mrs. W. E.
Turner of Watertown, and Frank A.
Evans of Laredo, Texas, brother of
George L. Evans of this city, oc-
Cured on July 10Th at $50 p. m.
The bride frequently visited the
family Of Geo. L. Evans in this city,
and Frank will be remembered as
having visited here several times,
the last time on his return from the
Klondike regions, when he gave
The GAZETTE an exclusive story
about that country. He and George
were nephews Of the late r. H. Nc
Kittrick Of Underwood, and Frank
has known his bride from child
hood, having spent many of their
young days iu the same household.
They left for their home in El Orc,
Mexico, the day after their we'd
ding ceremony Miss Nessie Nc
Kittrick went to Watertown when
about ten years of age and has
grown to lovely womanhood since.
She is Of modest and religious
character and has many friends who
will miss her in her social and
church work. Mr.. Evans is min
ing engineer and is holding a fine
position in the town they are locat-
ed in. He also owns considerable
mining stock ID Utah.

easiest plows to throw in or out of
the ground that have yet been coz
structed.
The connection between the lift
ing lever and the plow is provided
with an elbow joint. When this
Joint passes the center the plow is
locked in the ground, aud the harder
the ground and consequently the
greater draft from the plow beam
the more firmly is the plow held in
the ground. All that is necessary
in raising the pillow is to break this
joint, when the plow is lifted clear
of the ground without further effort
The fulcrums of the land and
furrow levels are located in way
to make the working of the levers
particlarly easy. Users of other
wheeled plows will greatly ap-

SURVEY UP THE HILL.
Party in Minneapolis Wants
Chart of St. Louis Territory.

About two weeks ago party re-
siding in Minneapolis addressed a
letter to R. A. Turrell of this city
asking him for his prices to survey
and secure the topography of the
country lying 600 feet on either side
of the Minneapolis Il St Louis
tracks, commencing at point where
the Gulf & Manitoba railroad forms
a junction with the ST Louis sys-
tenn. and continuing for three miles
westward to what is known as the
switch for the freight trains that
have to be hauled up in two sec
tions, and located just northeast OF
the farm of Alonzo A. Neale. Mr..
Turrell only knows the name OF the
party who addressed the letter to
him He has no personal acquaint-
ance with him, nor has he ever
heard of him before.
Aside from asking Mr.. Turrell
for his prices on such a survey and
chart the gentleman also informed
Mr.. Turreu that he wanted him to
make survey of that switch over
the shortest and most complete line
to Redwood Falls. Mr.. Turrell
gave his prices, and week ago
last Thursday be was notified that
they were accepted and to hold him
self subject to orders. The orders
came last Thursday and Mr.. Tur-
! iell has since been engaged in the
survey and preparing for the chart
He is being assisted by County Sur
yeyor D. L. Bigham.
Who is doing this is a question
The general suspicion, however, is
\ .hat it is being done in connection
with the Gulf & Manitoba railroad.
When Chief Engineer Brown of the
construction company of that road
was here he went over this line
with the view of making bend

The New Deere Sulku and
Gang PlOWS

Are constructed upon identically
the same principles, the outgrowth
of SO years experience and expert
ment. BY no means the least i'm
portant feature is their beam draft
The only correct principle Of hitch
ing to a plow is direct from the
beam. This has been thoroughly
demonstrated by the success of Beam
Draft Plows-all our Wheeled Plows
are made thus-and the complete or
partial failure of plows made to
draw from the frame. Draft from
the beam is absolutely essential to a
perfect control of the plow in vary
ing conditions of soil and in varying
degrees of sharpness of the plow
share By this method all strain on
the frame is avoided, the automatic
lift is made possible and the plow is
kept in the ground when hard or
when the share is dull. Perfect
control can be secured in no other
way
The New Deere Gang is the only
Gang Plow that is entirely free
from side draft, especially when
using four horses abreast. This
feature has been made especially
prominent in very many letters re-
. ceived from users of these p}ows.
The plows are dropped to work
by slight kick or pressure of the
foot on trip, leaving the hands free
for the control of the team. By an
arrangement peculiar to these plows
the first furrow can be opened per
fectly level at any required depth.
After opening land the plow is ad-
iusted to proper depth and leveled
by means Of the furrow and land
wheel levers, after which no further

The New Deere Gang.

The advantage of the New Deere
Gang over the Sulky or any other
single furrow plow is mostapparent.
Nearly double the work can be ac-
complished in the same time. It is
never. more than one horse heavier
draft, and often, when the grounds
in good condition, the same team
will handle either plow. The re-
markable ease of managementof of this
Gang Plow puts it easily first as the
most economical and satisfactory
plow a farmer can purchase.

ENTRANCE EXAMINATION.

Students who have been unable to
obtain the necessary State high
school board certificates for enter
ing the high school, may take ex-
amiEations in the four preparatory
subjects at the high school build
ing, examinations taking place as
follows: Geography, Thursday,
Aug. 30, at 1:30 p. M. arithmetic.
Friday, Aug. 81, at ga. M. U. S.
history Friday at 80 p. M: Eng
lish grammar Saturday at 9 a. m.
Those who pass the examinations
satisfactorily and who furnish evi-
dence of having completed the SUBJ
jects will be admitted to the high
school on condition These exami-
nations do not take the place of the
State examinations, but are intend
ed only as means of helping some
to enjoy the advantages of the high
school without waiting to try the
State examinations again. They
are merely entrance examinations
for the Redwood Falls high school.
It is hoped that many will avail
themselves of this opportunity. No
tuition is charged for the high
school and there is no reason why
the young men and women of the
country shonld not enter the high
school and enjoy the privileges.
Students going from this high school
to the University enter without ex.
animation in the studies pursued.

Lightning struck the windmill of
Marion Johnson last Saturday. It
did very little damage, passing
down one of the corner posts to an
oil can sitting at the bottom, into
the small hole OF the can and then
passing out by burning several
holes through the zinc and copper
bottom. The can was full Of oil
when the lightning struck it.

Redwood Falls. It is believed that

Redwood Falls It is believed that
be has recommended this as the
most feasible route. and the COM
pany has secured some one in Min
neapolis to attend to the matter of
making a survey and getting a
chart of the line and country. It
would be long way around, but it
might ''be the safest way home. =
The belief that it is the Gulf &
Manitoba railroad company is
strengthened by letters received
from the east. NJ Lally, the chief
OF the construction company that is
supposed to go ahead with the work
of building, was in New York last
week, and he wrote to a party in
| Beaver Falls to the effect that the
matter OF securing the money for
building the line was moving along
nicely. 1--WE thought we had it
! fixed when we were out there be-
fore, however, he says, 'sbut we
were trippad up by other railroads
interested, and it is barely possible
that we may be tripped again, but I
hardly believe it." Rulnors were
floating around last week that 500
men had been employed to go to
work on the construction, but these
were fancy dreams-pure fakes.
Letters were received from Des-
Moines to the effect that the com
pany expects soon to commence
work, but DesMoines stories
haye been so fearfully false in days
gone by that little credence can be
| placed in them. Two or three OF
the surveying crew that came out
from Chicago in May or June last
are still at Beaver Falls, and their
mail is said to be decidedly hopeful.
Among the rumors that are in
circulation is one to the effect that
the Chicago, Milwaukee. & ST. Paul
has secured the property of the Gull
& Manitoba railroad and will soon
commence work on constructing a
line from Olivia to Redwood Falls.
This is only rumor, but the fact
that the Northwestern aud Milwau-

The New Deere Sulky has proved
it's title to the first place as repre-
sentative of the highest type of
riding plow. The correct princi-
pies of pillow making are fully
carried out in its design. It is
characterized by an excellence of
mechanical makeup not found in
plows of any other manufacture,
every feature being worked out in
fullest perfection,

affecting the level running Of the
plow The furrow wheels are
staggered, running in the corner of
the furrow and ipsuring uniform
width of furrow. They are rigidly
connected, the rear wheel being
controlled by the front wheel. In
turning either way these wheels
caster together. This feature
makes it possible to turn the plow
either way almost as on pivot. It
makes it an easy matter to turn
square corners in the furrow.

kee systems are not always on the
best OF terms and that the Milwau-
kee would be a gamer by such a
line, has tendency to strengthen
the rumor.
Another rumor is that if the Great
Northern really expects to extend
from Hutchinson it is likely to come
this way and that it would be glad
to get the G. & M. survey and grade
through the Beaver Greek valley.

pronounced by many expert judges
to be the elimination of perfect
plow construction to date, and is
recommended without hesitation to
all. It is necessarily somewhat
lighter in draft, as there is no land
side friction, and square turns at
the ends of burrows are made much
easier, enhancing the ease with
which the plow can be handled by
the operator.

admit of SO slight variation as

Of the furrow.
The wheels are larger than COM
monty used, being "a and "a inches
in diameter. This gives steadiness
in running and helps reduce the
draft. They are made with remove
able hub boxes, easily and cheaply
renewed. The land wheel is pro-
vided with a cushion spring which
permits this wheel to pass over any
unevenness in the surface without

their present cost; indeed. instances could
be cited where roads with all their i'm
proved terminals structures, .roadbed, roll
ing stock, etc, could not be duplicated at
anything approaching their capitalization.
Again, railroads have a broader basis OF
revenue than any industrial" depending
upon single industry can possibly have.
The railroads never shut down. are not
affected by depression in single industry,
and by reason of their many sources OF
revenue their earnings are more certain
and regular than any other important class
of investments For the next few years
railroad earnings are likely TO continue
on an ascending scale; the days of specula-
tive building are over; competition is being
regulated, not stified, by concentration of
control. and the outlook is for more stable
rates which benefit both shipper and stock
holder alike. When the high state of per-
lection TO which American railroads have
been developed is considered and the ex-
traordinarily low cost at which freight can
now be carried--in some cases as low as
RIO of a cent per ton per mile-the convic-
ton is inevitab BILE that railroad securities
must eventually occupy higher position
in the estimation of shrewd investors than
they have ever yet done.
These are long-distance views of the
market. AS already said, the outlook is
for gradual improvement based on easier
money and stronger intrinsic conditions in
speculation. Much depends upon the course
of the Trsnsvaal war. British defeats
have caused prolonged hesitancy, because
any shock TO the London market must in
evftably be reflected here. The situation,
however, in South Africa has now suf-
ficiently changed to warrant the expecta-
ton of a series of British victories. Yet
nothing is so uncertain war, and sur
prises are to be expected.
