The Redwood gazette., 1902-07-16

John Watts, who has been in this
city and county for some time past
in the interests of the Hixson Map
Co., engaged in getting out the new
wall map of Redwood county for the
publishers of THE GAZETTE. left for
Alexandria last Thursday. after
having closed up his work here.
Before leaving Mr.. Watts paid
County Auditor Tompkins a rare
compliment. He stated that he had
worked in many counties, not only
in this, but in other States, and it
was never his pleasure to work over
such a perfect set of transfer rec
ords and other documents which he
had to inspect, as those kept by Mr..
Tompkins. AS the result Of those
records, he said, THEG GAZETTE would
have one OF the best county maps
ever published by his house.
Redwood Falls has two osteopa-
thists. They are J. H. Lowe and
G. W. Hutchinson, who are gradu-
ates of the S. S. Still college of oste-
opathv of DesMoines, Iowa. They
arrived here last Wednesday and
put up at the Lakeview House, and
made arrangements for opening an
Office and commenced their mode of
practicing last Monday. Quite a
number of Redwood people have
been taking this treatment, having
to 60 to St. Paul and Minneapolis to
receive the same, and they will no
donbt be glad to hear that Drs
Lowe and Hutchinson have located
here where they can obtain the treat
ment at much less expense than
they incurred by going to the cities.

assistant secretary Of Ainsworth
Spofford. librarian of congress. was

terests of Mr. Spofford S new com
pilation of selections from various
authors, as taken from their works
in the congressional library. Mr..
Rice claims that an extra Is, 900 set
of these works has been issued for
the public, but whether this issue
has any relation to the notorious
fraud upon the public, ''Letters and
Messages of the Presidents - which
was issued from government plates
and then sold to the public at an
outrageous price and the profits
placed entirely into the pockets of
the robbiug syndicate, Mr.. Rice did
not state. The latter stated that be

for the work from St. Paul and Min
