d. Gleason, just south Of town, ar
rived here with his family on Mon
day of last week. Mr.. Hillman is q
thoroughly progressive farmer, and
among the improvements he will
make at once will be the erection oil
a large barn and residence on bis
farm.
At a meeting of the board of edu-
cation last Thursday afternoon Miss
Jessie NJ. Short, principal of the
schools at Browns Valley, was
elected principal of the Redwood
Falls schools for 19O4-O5, to sue
coed Miss Goodrich, the present in
cumbent. Miss Short was strongly
recommended by Prof. Edwards,
the newly elected superintendent,
who also comes from Browns Val
ley. She will receive salary of
so per month.
Brown county gets the worst end
of the court reporters salary for
the ensuing year. owing to the i'm
mense amount of litigation there
during the past year. The report
ca is to receive salary of s., 400
per year. OF this amount Redwood
county will pay its proportion at
the rate of $21 per month as against
$31.11 last year. Brown county
will pay $5133 as against $24. ga
last year. Nicollet county will pay
$15 II as against $1815 last year.
Lyon county will pay $22.17 as
against $31l2 and Lincoln county
81 as against SLIGO. From this it
will be seen that Brown county liti-
cation has more than doubled, while
in Redwood county it has been re-
duced about one-third.

The White Ribboners met with
Mrs. Philbrick last Wednesday and
reioiced their hearts by taking a
backward look at the successes that
have attended the laborss of temper
ance and equal suffrage workers.
Mrs. Philbrick gave many statistics
showing the advance of equal
rights during the last century. A
resolution of the Wyoming legisla-
ture was read and Mrs. Philbrick
held that if the home is the .founda-
tion of the state, so is the state the
protector of the home, ADD the
influence the women can WELD in
the home may be counteracted by
the conditions that exist outside OF
it. Mrs. Lusk spoke of the advance
of temperance in the last century,
and said that public sentiment had
changed greatly. One hundred
years ago moderation was preached;
that has given place to total absti-
