Our esteemed Tracy contempora-
ries insist on getting the Redwood
Falls high schoolfoot ball team mixed
with the Redwood Falls foot ball team.
The Tracy papers all crow over the
fact that the high school team of that
place defeated the high school team
of this place, saying that the Tracy
victory is consequently big one.
If the Tracy kids ever went up
against Lunn & Jones giants the
result undou btedly would be diff
ferent.
It was stated in the last issue of
this paper that Conductor john

ing his life. Five physicians we're
present at the operation, three of
the number being from St. Paul, aud
after opening Mr.. Wylie's abdomen
they discovered that the stomach
was then so badly affected as the
result OF cancer that it would be
to give MIR. Wylie relief.
The dissection was sewed together
and Mr.. Wylie was returned to his
home at Tracy where he is calmly
and patiently awaiting the end.

tional result, except that if Bryan
carried New York State he would
probably be elected New York is
safe for Mckinley, however, by
from IS, 900 and over. On the State
ticket be thought that it was going
to be very close between VanSant
and Lind. Blue Earth county, he
thought, would give a slight major
ity for Lind. The Republicans. he
said, were doing active work alloyer
the State, and he anticipated returns
favorable to that party on account of
the active work Mr.. Clark was in
terested in seeing McClearys ma
iority cut down, but be did not get
much satisfaction at this point.

news last Thursday that
his younger brother, Charles Chad

Cotton wood county. early that morn
ing. The death was sudden and
the news came as a shock to Judge
