John A. Burrichter OF St. Paul
offers to build an opera house in
Redwood Falls, on condition that
the city gives bonus of $4,000.
His proposition is that the building
will cost not less than $4,000, and
is to be built of brick and stone, 40x
80 feet in size, with two boxes and
a balcony. The sale of 400 tickets
at SO each to the first five perform
ances will raise the bonus. and will
be permitted by Mr.. Burrichter.
The Retz recitals at the opera
house on Thursday and Friday
evenings of last week were fairly
well attended and the listeners
were pleased. Miss Retz is par
ticularly clever in her character
sketches, and her rendition of old
Scotch ballads and tales is excel
lent. She was ably assisted by
local talent, the Misses Grace Fer
ris, Zelma Thune and Julia Tenney
rendering beautiful vocal and in
strumental selections.
The third tractof land in Red wood
county given by Ebenezer G.. Ran
ney of CORTLAND, New York, and
well-known here as a loaner of mon
ey. to the Congregational Sunday
School & Publishing society, within
the past year was decided couple
of weeks ago. The tract in ques-
ton is the southeast quarter of Sec
tion 8, Granite Rock, and the con
veyance is made by special warran-
ty deed, by which Mr.. Ranney en-
joys the life annuity of the real es-
tate, but after his death the land
becomes the sole property of the
society. 1t is understood that Mr..
Ranney has become quite a patron
OF the society mentioned, his dona-
tons of Redwood county real estate
alone amounting to nearly 500, 900.
His desire is to leave practically all
of his property to the society at his
demise, and assist it in becoming
one of the greatest religious organi-
cations of the country.

The annual conference of the
Methodist Womens Foreign Mis-
sionary society for Minnesota and
the two Dakotas convened at Fargo,
and Mrs. W. H. Wallace attended
as delegate from the Marshall dis
trict. Her travelling experiences
were rough and rugged, as she
described them to the missionary
society last Tuesday. Some 200
delegates were present at Fargo,
and as sufficient money had come in
to meet all expenses and pay the
heavy building debt incurred, every
one felt happy. Mrs. Wallace was
deputed to speak on behalf Of mis-
sionary literature. In doing so
she described the books used and
the methods followed in the Red
wood Falls society. She also showed
the programs in use here, and told
how they we're evolved. And the
ladies declared them to be models.
Mrs. Wallace had taken with her
the local newspaper reports of the
missionary meetings for the past
year, all pasted into a long strip,
the unrolling of which caused much
excitement and enthusiasm. Some
desired to know the length. Mrs.
W. could not tell. So a measure
was procured and it was found to-
be five yards long, Some of the
delegates declared that whatever
good things they failed to carry
home to tell their societies, they
certainly should remember to relate
what Redwood Falls had done, and
the president expressed her firm
conviction that Redwood Falls was
an ideal place in which to live, but.
most unfortunately, she said, they
could not all live there. Besides
the report three excellent papers
were given, including character
sketch of eli Hung Chang" by
Mrs. Shire. The present needs of
the Chinese educational system
were set forth by Mrs. Brewster,
and Mrs. Wallace described the
wonderful growth Of missions Of the
M. E. church in China, and Mrs.
Apitz gave reading, Two Sunny
Hearts. Although the session
was very long everyone enjoyed it,
and likewise the supper which Mrs.
Southwick served at the close.
