Friends of James R. Babcock of
Tracy, an old soldier, are attempt
ing to secure him an additional pen

tally worthy case. Mr.. Babcock is

John Lindquist was over from
his farm in Charlestown last Wed
nesday afternoon. Mr.. Lindquist
was just outside the hailed district
week ago last Saturday. He says
that the storm cut path four miles
wide through Willow Lake, Sun
down and Brookville townships. He
also states that Waterbury, John
sonville and Gales were hit by the
storm and that the farmers along
the line lost practically everything.
The corn may recover from the
effects OF the beating.
We prophesied last year that the
wonderful success which has &C
companied the opening of the Toland
schools in other cities would be
duplicated in Mankato. That we
made no mistake, is shown by, the
fact that every seat in the Toland
Business University was occupied,
and this season he has made ten
years lease on building, that will
enable him to seat 500 students.
We now prophesy that, even with
the greatly increased room, the
university will have no vacant seats
this winter, as all of his last year S
students, many of whom are now
holding positions, have become
walking and talking advertisements
for the university.
H. V. Peterson, travelling pas
senger agent of the Minneapolis &
ST. Louis, was in Redwood Falls

Bailey's consolidated circus will
give two exhibitions in that town.
A special train will leave Redwood
at 6:55 in the morning and will
reach Watertown at 11:O5, in time
for the big parade. The train of
cars will start from Redwood, in
suring ample Accommodations to all
Redwood people who wish to 90.
Another train will start from Ex-
celsior at 4:35 a. m. and arrive in
Watertown ten minutes later than
the Redwood train. Barnum &
Bailey's is now the greatest show
in the world, and those who wish to
witness the performances should
make arrangements to go on the
Redwood train.
A few years ago there was very
little known in these parts about
