Daniel Caswell has again returned

The young men Of the city gave a
return party to their ladies at the
opera house on Friday evening last
The function was we'll attended and
dancing was INDUCED in until late
hour. Supper was served at Hotel

the occasion was decidedly enjoy
able one.
S. G.. Peterson returned from a
business trip to st. Paul last We'd
nesday. Mr.. Peterson is not yet
certain where the stock OF goods
belonging to Peterson & Graft will
be moved to when the present i'm
piled lease expires. There is some
hope that capitalist will re-erect a
building on one of the corners of
this city.
A letter was received here by
Mrs. H. G.. Schmahl last Wednes-
day to the effect that Conductor
John A. Wiley, who is well-known
and has many friends in and about
Redwood Falls, had been to St.
Paul and submitted to medical ex-
animation by several of the best
physicians of that city, at the con
clusion of which they advised Mr..
Wiley to return home and wind up
his earthly affairs. Mr.. Wiley re-
turned to Tracy, closed up his bust
ness matters, made his will and
then left for Rochester for the pur-
pose of allowing the Drs. Mayo to
operate on him, taking all chances
of the operation being successful.
Mr.. Wiley's trouble is of the stom-
ach.
The election judges held their
first aud last meeting before cleo
ton day on Monday of last week.
In the first ward the judges placed
225 names on the poll list, and in
the second ward the judges found
only 176 entitled to franchise. In
the first ward the judges have since
had seven or eight names reported
to them and in the second ward it is
believed that enough other voters
will be found to swell the list to
over 200. By the new law the
judges of election in towns less than
1900 hold only one meeting prior to
to election day and as result no
new names can be added to the poll
list until the morning of that day.
Names can be handed to the judges
for placing on the list, however.
Two men sat in THE GAZETTE Office
last Wednesday afternoon that we'll
recalled 20 years ago that day. The
two men we're Capt. Thos. McMil-
Ian and D. L. Bigham. A fearful
blizzard was raging over this sec
ton on the 9th, 18th and 18th, 20
yea IS ago, and the two men were
part of the crowd of delegates that
we're attending a Senatorial conven-
ton at Tracy at that time. Capt.
Mcmillan was a delegate from Vel
low Medicine county and Mr.. Big
ham from Redwood county. They
were snow bound there for several
days. At that convention S. D.
| Peterson of New Ulm was nominal
ed for Senator and the two gentle
men enjoyed talking it over how
Sam got there-just how two gen
tlemen supposed to be with them
were against them, and how A. G.
Forbes of Marshall and COMPARE
son of signatures found out who the
traitors were. Hon. ]. F. Jacobson
of Lac qui Parle county was Peter
son S opponent at that time.
