The band gave another concert on
the lake last Wednesday: the boat
company placing the launch Sim
plex at the disposal of the members
of that organization from 1870 O'Clock
until nearly nine, when it became
too dark to play. The launch Was
kept moving over a course repre-
senting the figure 8, and during all
the time that the band was playing
a large crowd of people were gath
cred along the lake shore, on the
bridge, and at the docks: listening
to the music. All of the row boats
along the lake were also called into
service, and for over an hour the
lake seemed to be covered with
boats filled with gentlemen and
ladies' The launch Alice was kept
busy on a run to the park, and then
following the Simplex, while Com
modore Tibbetts launch, the Ella,
also carried number of people
over the waters of the lake.
The first certificate of nomination
to be filed in Redwood county un-
der the new primary election law
was that of Otto G. Goetze of Bel
view, Kintire township, who is a
candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for register of deeds. The
certificate was filed last Thursday
forenoon by Mr.. Goetze personally,
who paid over ten dollars, the re-
quired fee, to the auditor, for get
ting his name on the primary elec-
tion ballot. Mr.. Goetze, while first
to file was the last candidate in the
field for that place. He is consid-
cred one of the strongest Of the
bunch, the other four candidates
contending that the fight is between
Mr. Goetze and himself (the candi-
date speaking) alone. The fact that
Mr., Goetze has the Republican vote
of the entire north western portion
of the county back of him: as we'll
as scattering vote in other parts
of the county, makes him a formid-
able candidate.
