John Darkow has severed his
connection with the firm Of Cook q
Darkow, and Mr.. Cook is now CON
Quoting the business under his own
name. DIR. Darkow, together with
j. N. Smith, left last Wednesday for
st. Paul and from there expect to go
to Black Duck, with the view of
starting cigar factory at that
point. Both Of the parties are ac-
tive, rustling young men, and will
undoubtedly make a success of the
business, wherever they.may locate.
The longest siege of cold weather
on record is that which has been
going over this section during the
past three or four weeks. Not a
morning has opened since the in
ception OF the cold wave but what
the thermometer has been below
zero, while registering Of from "a
to 81 degrees below zero has been
frequent, last Thursday morning
the mercury registering "a degrees
below at 8 o'clock in the morning,
| it being colder at that time than
three hours earlier. During the
siege the shoveling of coal into the
furnaces and into the stoves. and
the consumption of other fuel was
something terrible, and the query
is how many people kept warm dur
ing the siege,
DR.. Fl. E. Schlegel left last Thurs
day morning for Chicago, where he
is now taking a,postgraduate course

the completion of this course he
will return togRedwood Falls, pack
up his effects and with his family
will leave for. the Pacific coast,
where the doctor will open an Office

His practice here has been disposed
of to DR. J. 81. Sauer of New Ulm,
formerly of Mountain Lake, who
came here early last week and made
arrangements for the succession.
DR.. Sauer7comes well recommended.
Dr. Schlegel's departure from Red
wood Fallsswill be cause of regret
on the part Of his many friends here,
who have learned to like the doctor,
and among the patients whom he
has successfully handled.

of the members of the State central
committee at ST. Paul on Tuesday
of last week, at which time it was
decided to hold the first state con-
vention to select four delegates and
four alternates to the national con
vention, at Minneapolis, on March
