The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1904-02-24

In 1861 we used to think and say
that the sublimest thing in history
was the grand uprising Of the free
millions Of the North in defense Of
their government. But a grander
thing has happened, an event which

FORTY YEARS AGO.
Excerpts from ST. Paul Papers OF Feb.
-, 1864.

The gallant boys of the First Min
nesota will be with US once more on
Monday, after nearly three years
experience such as it is few men S
fortune to see. Full arrangements
are completed for a reception on ar
rival. As soon as the regiment has
left Hastings the signal will be
given by the bells on the engine
houses. AS the regiment approach
es the city five signal guns will be
fired in quick succession from can
non overlooking the river between
Fourth and Fifth streets. The sig
nal guns and the salute, while
marching, will be under the direc-
ton of Capt. Mark Hendricks. All
business houses will be closed. The
fire department will lead the parade,
followed by the mayor and council,
the Great Western band, governor
and state officers, federal officers,
officers OF the Second regiment, re-
tired soldiers of the First regiment,
under Capt. Burger, state legisla-
ture, citizens, etc.
The memorable demand is made
upon Minnesota to furnish at least
8, 900 more soldiers to the cause of
our national existence. This will
leave behind an amount of desola-
ton, deprivation and want that
makes melancholy the heart Of sym
pathy. The unhappy conscript,
dragged forth by the draft, will not
feel the hardships of the war half so
poignantly as he will the misery
and suffering Of his desolate wife
and hungry little ones at home. The
calamity may fall on the abode of
poverty in town or city, or it may
reach the log hut of the poor coun-
try farmer, who finds himself given
to his country, while his little farm
is left behind to be sacrificed to in
cumbrances and his poor sick wife
and little children are turned out to
the cold charity of the county poor
houses. Let US have an appropria-
tion from the legislature sufficient
to give SO month to every family
thus deprived of it's head.

COST OF SEEING
THE WORLDS FAIR
FOR the Majority of Visitors It VIII Be
Less Than Railroad Transportation
to St. Louis and Return Would
Cost In Any Other Year.

From any point within 300 miles of
St. Louis a person may travel to the
Worlds Fair this year, view the won
ders- of the Exposition for three days
and expend less money than in any
other year he would pay for train fare
alone.
This may seem an astonishing state
ment, but it is fact.
Railroad men have practically deter
mined that lone fare for the round
trip" will be the rate during the seven
important months of 1904 Public an
nouncement of this only waits the pas
sage of certain legislation concerning
'scalpers' " tickets and formal indorse-
ment by the various. passenger agents
associations.
With this fact in mind a clear dem
onstratiOn of the statement In the open
ing paragraph can be made.
The fare from Chicago is. $3.50, or
SIS the round trip. SO under the new
schedule $3.50 will be put down as the
railroad fare from. that city to st.
Louis and return. If you are econom-
ical, your per diem expenses in the
Worlds Fair City need not exceed those
given in this table:
