Asa r.. Brooks Picks 4 Few Bouquets
for Redwood Falls.

If it is ever doubted that a few
determined men can do more for a
city than a hundred who do not
care, there is an everlasting contra
diction to the supposition in the
beautiful lake at Redwood Falls.
The Redwood river, under ordinary
circumstances was a stream that in
dry years furnished scarcely enough
water to supply the natural eyapo-
ration and often failed to flow over
the rocks that constitute the foun-
dation for the falls.
A few men saw the possibility OF
constructing a dam and thus Great
ing a reservoir of water many miles
long aud from ten to forty feet deep.
They agitated the matter and oppo-
sition at once sprung up. It was
necessary to resort to legal pro-
ceedings in some cases, but they
won out, aud now the city has the
finest pleasure resort in this part
of the state.
1t is yeritable Jordan that bor-
ders on the land of Canaan and it is
the pride Of every citizen of the
place. At the upper end of the
lake is a park of twelve acres set in
an amphitheatre formed by the
bluffs that form the banks of the
river. A natural spring fifty feet
above the river furnishes drinking
water of the purest kind. a dance
pavilion and refreshment stand are
located in the park and there is
also deer park. in its infancy at
present, but giving promise of be-
ing fine attraction.
To get to this haven of rest and
pleasure two launches are provided
for making the trips to and from the
city. 1t is without exception one
of the best conceived and most com
pletely satisfactory pleasure spots
to be found, and the result goes to
show what few determined men,
with the future welfare of the city
at heart, can do when they work
not alone for their individual inter-
ests but for the future. Redwood

are progressive beyond the aver
age-the city shows it.

SCHOOL NOTES.

The annual school meeting will be
held this year July 10Th at Z p. m.
unless at previous meeting, the
hour was changed to some earlier
or later one. All friends Of educa-
ton ought to meet at the school
house in the several districts of this
county, and carefully look over the
building, the out-houses, the
grounds and to carefully consider
the necessary expenses for the com
ing year and vote the necessary
taxes to defray such expenses.
The question of heating and venti-
lation, now that it has been success
fully solved by at least twenty-five
districts OF this county, by install
ing the "Smith system of heat-re-
tention and ventilation. should be
provided for in every school of this
county, which is otherwise not pro-
vided. Why allow the children to
be uncomfortable when it possible
and easy to make them comfortable
and happy? The cost is too small
to consider seriously.
School districts Nos. So, 70, SO
and 81, all in Granite Rock town
ship, on June 18th, voted adversely
on the question of rural school con-
solidation and transportation OF
pupils. That it would raise the
taxes in all the districts named it is
true. That it would give school
privileges 200 per cent. better than
those now enjoyed, it is true. That
the pupils would arrive at the
school house in better time and
more regularly under rural school
consolidation, than under the pres
ent system, is true. That the vot-
ers and patrons are not ready for
rural school consolidation, lis very
true.

up before Commissioner Cardozo
this week on the charge of procur-
ing fraudulent exemption for Pat.
Downey, young man drafted from
Rosemount. An old man whose
name is also Pat DoWney, was
brought forward as the conscript
and taken before Squire Lock of
west st. Paul. He was at once ex
empted. The grand jury of the
circuit then took the matter up and
found true bill of indictment
against Jerry Mccarthy, and his
bail was fixed at $4,000. Mccarthy
claims that be procured the certif-
cate at the request offriends, think

he himself is the victim of a fraud.
A grand reception for the Fifth

These heroes will soon be with US

One hundred drafted men came
down from the fort yesterday en-

guard. They are fine looking, in

bark on the G. FL. Gray, but ar
rived too late and went into quar-
tiers for the night at market hall.
Yesterday morning they marched
to the levee and were all in good
humor, singing and cheering as the
boat backed out. This makes 200E

The vest effect has extended even to

Oysters.


Interesting experiments made in the
Lancet laboratory show the great di-
gestibility Of the oyster. When the
oyster was crushed and placed in cold
water about half of the solid matter
was dissolved. When the oyster was
placed uncruShed in the same medium
one-fourth Of its solid matter was dis
solved. 1t is believed that if the
oyster be chewed more than half OF it
is dissolved III the mouth.
Cold water appears to be the best
thing to drink with oysters. But
chablis is very good, dissolving thirty
eight per cent Of the solid matter Of
the oyster.
What are the solids in the oyster?
They are the prOteids corresponding
to lean of meat Or the white Of an egg,
fat, starchy matters and %glycogen.
This last means the substance which
the liver manufactures for future use.
1t is very like sugar, and when wanted
for use is changed into sugar. 1t is
the substance which makes the oyster
sweet in the mouth.
But there are other valuable con.
stituents Of the oyster-what are called
the glycero-phosphoric compounds.
Medical men prescribe these for i'm
proving the nervous system, so that q
diet of oysters is unquestionably good
for the nerves. They also contain COM
mon salt, a little copper and several
phosphates. And taking the whole
contents Of the oyster shell, one finds
almost everything necessary for the
food of the body.-New York World.

mires the audaci0us wit Of American
women. He likes their simple manner
toward him, for he owns his weari-
ness at the way Europeans treat him.
He is young, handsome and convivial.
He tells with relish this incident Of
an American girl and himself, and
evidently considers it 4 capital joke.
The young woman had been present
ed at his palace, and he especially ad-
mired her alert, eager face and grace
full manner. The Khedive asked her if
she could speak the Arabic language.
He was talking in English, French and
German to his guests. and wondered
why the clever Americans did not learn
the language spoken in Cairo.

Self-PropelIed Railway Cars.

In England the self-propelled rail-
way car is coming into extensive use,
especially for branch lines where the
traffic is so small as not to warrant the
operation Of steam locomotives or the
application of electricity. Recently one
Of the largest electrical manufactur-
ing firms in America has ordered in
England an oil engine for this purpose,
which will be used with q dynamo to
generate current for ordinary car mo-
tors. The advantage Of such an install
lation is that there is no loss Of fuel
when the car is not in motion, and that
the motor a be put into operation at
an instant's notice.
The machinery is placed in n small
compartment at the end Of the car, and
requires but little attention. Such cars
driven by various forms Of motors,
have been found Of especial value in
England to bring passengers to main
electric and steam lines, and it would
seem as if there vas al equal field of
usefulness for them in the United
States.-TIarper's Weekly.

How is This

Lady Henry Somerset, in a recent inter-
view. published in Great Thoughts"
speaks of a visit made by her to Mr.. Edi-
son. whose vast laboratories she inspected
with much interest. On being asked who
were his best workmen Mr.. Edison replied
that the Germans and Italians were good
routine workmen, but that he could de-
pend on them for little else. The English
and Scotch were remarkable, but he could
not count on their return ~punctually after
holidays; their hand was not steady, nor
was their eye accurate, for the simple rea-
son that they used alcohol often to excess.
A Connecticut Am%erican-born workman
was the only reliable man he had, for he
was not only a total abstainer himself, but
had a total abstaining ancestry behind
him. Edison could count on his accuracy
and steadiness, the time he would put into
his work and the hour at which he would
return.-Irish Temperance League Journal,

Because the bride could not under

The couple gave their names as

first said in English, the groom giving
the responses, and then in German, to
which the bride made replies.

who have coral are now using it to
good advantage, since long strings of

Hearing Plants Grow.

Two Germans have discovered q
method by which they can hear plants
grow. In the apparatus the growing
plant is connected with q disk. having
in its centre an indicator which moves
yisibly and regularly, and this ON a
scale fifty times magniied denotes the
progress in growth. Both disk and in
dicator are metal, and when brought in
contact with an electric hammer, the
electric current being interrupted at
each Of the divided interstices of the
disk, the growth of the plant is as per-
ceptible to the ear as to the eye.
