Jas. Garfield Seebeck, second son
OF A. II. Seebeck, died last Monday
afternoon at the home of his parents.
The young man was stricken with
typhoid fever last September, and
the disease was followed by compli-
cations in the nature of catarrh of
the stomach, causing a gradual
wasting away until he was almost
reduced to skeleton. The de-
ceased was 10 years of age, and left
a good record as to conduct during
his brief career, in the school of this
place aud North Redwood. He pro-
fessed serene Christian faith be-
fore his death, and was conscious to
the last. The funeral will be held
Thursday afternoon at 4 0 clock.
Remember Mrs. Unruh's add
dresses next week Thursday and
Friday evenings. One subject on
which she will speak is of vital in
terest to every citizen of Redwood
Falls, viz: Where Are Our Boys. "
No one can afford to miss it who has
the welfare of our homes, ourschools,
and our society at heart. Mrs.
Unruh is forceful, earnest, elo-
quent speaker, and woman of mag
netic personality and pleasing ad-
dress. She comes to Minnesota
from several weeks work in South
Dakota where the press everywhere
is enthusiastic in her praise An
added attraction for both evenings
will be a large chorus choir of
young people. Further notice will
appear next week.
A pretty good indication of mans
ability in his particular line of business
is to see people following him from one
place to another to obtain his services.
DR.. G. NJ. Stanton, the magnetic and
electric healer, now in this city, has
patients that have come to him from
other towns in which he has been To-
Gated. They know him and can verify
all the doctor has thus far printed in
the Redwood papers. Many Redwood
persons will probably hang off until
the doctor gets through here, and then
go to the expense and trouble Of follow
ing him to Marshall or New Ulm. If
there is anything about DR.. Stanton Is
advertisements or testimonials that you
don't believe, that he has printed, call
on parties now at the Commercial no.
tel. DR.. Stanton's offices are at the
Commercial House, Redwood Falls.

AT THE BARuAlN COUNTER.
An Incident Which Illustrates One Of
the Things THAT Marks the
/. Woman Shopper.

January sales in the State street
stores are sometimes the occasion of
small bargain-counter riots. AS soon
as one woman secs another looking at a
four-yard remnant she decides iElme-
diately that she wants that particular
piece herself Two women were pricing
a piece of percale in one Of the Zig es-
adjustments, says a Chicago exchange.
Up came two other women, evidently
much perturbed
''There, she's got it in her hand !;
she's going to take it." walled one. 81

back"
But you surely didn't think I'd GO
off and leave those nice suede gloves al
40 cents?" retorted the other. in self
defense, at the same time gazing hun
grily at the little piece of percale. The
shopper who was lingering the goods
turned to the two women and said, DO
litely:
Il hadn't ordered it. You may hav,
it," and walked away.

said.

HanIOH Discrcdits the RumOrs of
Trouble BctNc, the Leagues.
BALTIMORE. Jan In reviewing the
baseball situation and discussing the re
ported effort to break down the National
League. Manager Hsnlon said yesterday:
Il don't put much credence in the re-
ports from Chicago that the American
League intends to start a baseball war. l
read in the papers that but few OF the
american League managers attended the
Chicago meeting and that many were by
proxy.
Now it stands 10 reason that 81 such a
serious thing az a war we're contemplated
at least a majority OF those vitality inter-
ested in The aggressive movement would
be present Baseball wars are not easily
begun. as vas amply demonstrated in the
brotherhood troubles. and I do not honest
y believe that the American League in
tends to embark on such an enterprise
Il takes as much money 70 operate such
hostilties as 1t does 90 organize new
leagues.
Il have been reading q good deal this
winter about the organization Of new
leagues. Those who write these articles
talk as though leagues were wind bodies
and did not need n vast capital II is an
right to talk Of a new league and baseball
wars. but when IL comes to getting the
honeywell. that's the rub.
4 thought the major league was on fair
~ good terms with Ben Johuson's Ameri-
can League. and l would venture IL as
guess that there is more of an understand
ing between the two organizations than is
supposed. Suppose the American League
was making the demonstration, in order to
brighten of AusOns American Association.
Don't you think such an arrangement
would be a good move2
Whether or not any such understanding
exists. !, OF course. don't know. but il the
American League magnates really did de-
clare their intention OF beginning hostili-
ties l should look beneath the surface for
some such motive, for do not believe that
the American League has the financial
backing for such a contest, and | know
very well that the major league wants no
such trouble.
4 have heard Il said that Ben johnson
was after Mr.. Young's place as president
of the major league, but il this is true. l
don't think h. viii succeed. You may re-
member that | had some trouble with Mr.
Young over our 1895 schedule and | went
after him and told him some plain things
about the injustice done US. / certainly
made an awful howl. and did not hesitate
to express my opinion in public
From this you might infer that we had
a grievance against Mr.. Young, and would
be glad to see him In trouble, but tIat IS
not the case. When Ben Johnson gets af-
ter Mr.. IOung's place. we line up with
Mr.. Young and fight for him."

THE CIVIL SERVICE SYSTEM.
n change Proposed In the Method oi
Securing EliEibieS.

E1blcN-
a. r. Server. Chief Examiner of the
Civil Service Commission. has addressed a
petition TO the Board OF Civil Service Com
missioncrs. calling for a revision OF the
present system Of securing eligibles for
special or technical positions
Under the present regulations the posi-
ton must he vacated before a call is made
by the head OF the Office upon the Civil
Service Board, and a long consultation gen
orally follows between the official fn whose
department the vacancy exists and the
Commissioners as to the exact auaIifca-
tons necessary TO entitle an applicant to
the position.
When these have been determined. print
ed circulars must be issued and distributed
in different parts Of the country, together
with the regular press notices. stating the
nature OF the position. and the qualifica-
tons necessary to obtain it. together with
the place and date OF examination.
The time consumed in determining upon
the necessary qualifications, N preparing
the examination questions, and in dissem-
mating the notices throughout the country.
occupies, in most instances about four
months. and. in the meantime the position
is either held vacant, or inef1Cienuy Oc-
Cupied by some one detailed temporarily
20 do the work.
The plan outlined by Chief Examiner
Server is to first secure the eligibles TO
scientific OF technical positions. aud when
a place becomes vacant to notify those men
upon the list whose ascertained qualifica-
tons come nearest to the requirements OF
the office. TO appear for examination at
the time and place specified.
by this means" says Mr.. Server. "the
shortest possible space of time elapses be-
tween the call for an eligible and his Ger
LITIGATION. The means which the Commits
sion possesses for finding out the proper
men for a special list OF eligibles are very
efficient. and feel CORfidclt that the most
difficult requirements could be successfully
met within a very much shorter period
than is AT present the case"
