The st. Peter Herald says that
DR.. Pascal Mcconnell, who will be
remembered as the son of j. A.
Mcconnell, once proprietor of q |
hotel in Redwood Falls, was recent
~ summoned to Emmetsburg, Iowa.
to take position as surgeon with
large coal mining company.
Some of the old residents OF Red
wood Falls will remember A. d.
LaDue, who with his father, Jay
LaDue, came to Redwood Falls in
the early days and sold high grade
notions, ETC., to James Mcmillan.
The LaDues are residing at Lu
verne, where they are interested in
the banking business. Recently
the residence of BERTHE, as his
father always referred to him, was
burglarized, and large quantity OF
silverwafe and two valuable fur
coats were taken from the same.
The Faribault Journal says that

much encouragement from the bus
mess men of Faribault for the con-
struction of the proposed line from
Albert Lea to Mankato. Donald
Grant, the big railroad contractor
LOT Faribault, told the captain that
| if he had imagined railroad line
from Albert Lea to Sioux Falls he
would have produced much more
feasible work of fiction. It is ap-
parent that Col. Donald is looking
upon the line as one of those fables
that are told in the storybooks.
Last Thursdays Journal con-
tanned an announcement of ]. j.
Hills proposed new route to Den
yer, by the building of cut off in
Nebraska, between O'Neill, on the
Willmar & Sioux Falls division,
and Thedford, on the Burlington
: line. The route is to be through
Willmar and Sioux Falls, and a
glance at the map will disclose the
. fact that it will ultimately be
through Hutchinson and Redwood
Falls, as that will shorten the route
about so miles and traverse the
best of territory. "The proposed
line between the two Nebraska
cities will be only about seventy
or eighty miles in length, but by
it's construction railroad facilities
between the northern portion o.
. the Mississippi river valley ano
: Denver and the surrounding terri
g tory will be increased beyond com
d butation. /"
