The work of removing one. OF the
old landmarks of Redwood Falls
was commenced last Thursday morn
ing. It is the old frame building on
the southeast corner of Second and
| Washington streets, which, with
the buildings occupied by the dou~
BILE store buildings just east of it, is
to be replaced by the Hitchcock
Bowers-Gold two-story brick block
The first part of the building on the
corner was built in the fall of 1869
for Commodore G. G.. Sickle, who
was then engaged in general mer-
chandise. It was built by Pulaski
Broughton, one Of the first resi-
dents of Redwood Falls. About
1870 small addition to sthe build
ing was erected and again in 1878
another addition was built, an addi-.
tion which will be left standing
temporarily as. a supply house for
the builders. The double store
! building just east Of the old build
ing was built by Mr.. Sickle about
1889, and when completed it was
thought to be a magnificent struc-
ture. That the landmark might not
be entirely erased from history
Messrs. Hitchcock. and Bowers had
N. B. Anderson take a photo Of the
building, together with number Of
old settlers standing on the side
walk in front of it: last Thursday
forenoon. One OF the photos will be
sent to Commodore Sickle.

The county commissioners have
made all the banks of the county
repositories Of public funds, with
the exception of the bank of Red
wood Falls and the First State Bank
of Walnut Grove. The former did
not put in application, as it has not
done for several years past, and an
error in the bonds of the latter
made it necessary to. reject its bid.
The license fee to sell liquor in
this city is likely to be advanced to
either $3.50 or 81 900 for the ensu-
ing year, Aids. Peterson and Lus-
cher were in favor of the raise to
81, 900 a year ago, when they were
blocked. This year Aid. Pease is
understood to be pledged to 81, 900,
making three of the four members
tied up to the proposition. It is
possible that compromise on $3.50
will be made, however.
The county commissioners have
increased the salary of Supt. Race
to 81, ,260 per year, an increase of
about $l60, and equivalent to
monthly salary Of $1O5. The in
crease in the number OF. school dis
tricts Of Redwood county, together
with the excellent work done by
Mr.. Race in placing Redwood coun-
ty schools at the top Of the list
among the schools OF the State, was
the cause of the commissioners max
ing the increase.
The ten or more members ofChar-
ity Chapter, No. 35, Order of the
Eastern Star, who attended the
meeting of the district convention
at Springfield on Friday evening
last, were highly pleased with the
manner in which they were enter
tanned by members of the order in
that town. The Redwood officers
conferred the degree that evening,
and received very high enconium
on the proficiency of their work by
all who witnessed the work.
Twenty-Five thousand employees
of the Chicago & Northwestern
railway have been made glad through
an order issued by President Hugh
lit. This states that the pension
plan now in effect over that road
will be changed so that any employe
who has been in the service of the
company for twenty years may be
retired on a pension. Heretofore
thirty years connection with the
corporation has been required to
enable an employe to receive the
benefit Of the pension arrangement.
The annual meeting of the Mime
sofa Historical society was held at
the Capitol building in st. Paul
Monday evening, at which Warren
Upham read a paper on the First
White Men in Minnesota, Crosseil-
lers and Raddison, in 1866, at Prair-
ie Island. " The paper showed that
the earliest white explorers of the
upper Mississippi river and of the
area that is now Minnesota are
Eshown to have come to this island
on the west side of the main chan
mel OF the Mississippi river, be-
tween Red Wing and Hastings,
about the first Of May. 1866, and to.
have continued there till near the
end of Tune, 1856. In the second
expedition they traversed the cen
trail and northern part of this State.
during the winter and spring of
1659-60, being the first Of Europeans
to visit the Sioux: Ten years later
they aided IN founding the Hudson

Little Fighter is Like John I. Years
and Years Ago.

New York, July 25.-Former Heavy
Weight Champion of the World James
J. Corbett picks McGovern to win his
fight with Young Corbett In picking
the former Corbett says:
Terry McGovern is great fighter
I have spared with him. and 1 have
found him every bit the wonderful
fighter he was a couple of years ago.
L am surprised at the strength that the
youngster possesses. When I see Me-
Govern spar 1 can not imagine that he
has a superior at his weight. Regard
ing the result of the battle, think Nc
Govern will win. have seen him train
ing for his other important fights, but
he has never shown any better form
than at present. There is no reason to
believe McGovern has gone back He is
a. fighter pure and simple. He is not by
any means snowy boxer, but he is
nevertheless scientific, make no mistake
about that. Our setto was an interest
ing one, as it gave me a fine opportuni-
ty to study this little fellows style of
fighting. He is like pocket edition of
old John L. Sullivan. I found him
speedy and accurate in his delivery. He
is great swinger and pays little atten-
ton to straight arm work We had it
out in a lively fashion in the first round,
Terry was always on deck He has a
good punch, with plenty of force behind
it. Although not yet ready to enter the
ring, his condition is excellent and his
wind is all that could be desired at this
stage of the game. With full month
in which to put on the finishing touches,
1 think he will be we'll prepared to put
up grand battle in his effort to win
back the championship. Corbett and
McGovern are far superior to the men
that fought at the same weight years
ago."
