Now that the city election is over
what the matter with getting to
gether and working for the inter
ests of the city.
! Rev. B. j. Barackman conducted
services at Vesta lastSunday, owing
| to the fact that no services were held
in the churches of this city.
Chas. H. Tenney and family re-
turned Elast Wednesday afternoon
from ten days visit with Minnesota
and Wisconsin relatives and friends.
The new city council will be asked
to raise the license to sell intoxicat-
ing liquors from $500 to $1,000 A
petition to that body to bring about
the raise will probably be circulat-
ed in short time.
The board of education has decid-
ed not to open the public schools
until next Monday. In case of any
alarming cases of contagious diseases
breaking out prior to that time
another delay is likely.
The weather took an agreeable
change during last Wednesday
night. The thermometer had been
registering around the 10 and Is
mark all day Wednesday, aud on
ThursdayEmorning it had changed
to above zero, making open air bus
mess not altogether uncomfortable.
Elmer Whitman and Joseph Hemp
hill, the two boys held on the charge
of burglarizing the store of Geo. H.
Brundage of Vesta and taking from
the safe about $500 in cash, were
discharged from custody last Fri
day morning. County Attorney
Clague had looked into the case
quite thoroughly, as well as into
the evidence bearing on the same,
and found the latter so weak that
he deemed it inadvisable to prose-
cute the case. and on his motion it
was dismissed and the boys released
from the county jail.
Herb. L. Birum of Saco. Montana,
formerly Of North Redwood, writes
to The GAZETTE under date Of Dec.
9th last, as follows: Il am enjoy
ing prosperity out here in first
class shape. This is one of the pros
porous psrts of the United States
and as long as the Republican party
looks after the wool industry as it
has the past few years and we are
not visited by any more so called
Democratic ''policies' - the future of
the State will be very bright. You
understand that ''WOOl man and
a Repu blican are one and the same
thing. They had their eye-teeth
cut when the orphan Grover Cleve-
land was in power and they want
no more of it at ALL This county
went Republican from top to bottom
something it has not done in
years. -
Here is an item from a Chicago pa
per that will apply as we'll to Red
wood county farmers who have SO
much invested in stock: Mr. L. II.
Kerrick Of Bloomington, ILL.,. has
demonstrated that it paws to be kind
to animals, to speak in a well mOdu
lated tone Of voice and not to swear.
At the stockyards yesterday fifteen
of Mr.. Kerrick S Aberdeen Angus
beef cattle were sold at $l5 cwt.,
and weighingas they did an average
of l., 1913 lbs. each, the total price of
the lot was approximate y So, $50, or
$3.50 each. It has been Mr. Ker-
rick s rule for several years to en-
plOy only men who would not swear
at them or speak roughly. He main
tains that cattle respond to civil
treatment, putting on more and bet
ter beef because of their freedom Of
worry and it's consequent effect on
their nerves. The fact that this is
the top-notch price for a lot of beef
cattle and more than twice the rul-
ing market price goes far to justify
| Mr.. Kerrick in his contention
The Minneapolis & St. Louis
shows increase in gross earnings
for November of $13, 1879 and a de-
crease in net of S6,403. Thisappar-
emily compares unfavorable with
the statements of the preceding
