Alta meeting of the boat associa-
ton last Thursday evening it was
voted to pass into liquidation and
close up affairs commencing next
Saturday morning. This means
that all of the association property
is on the market. Already num-
Der of the row boats have been
sold. The launches are on the
market and will probably be sold
for other lakes before next spring.
The boat house, and The park pavil-
lion, costing over 5000, can be had
cheap and can be moved this win
ter. The 12-acre park tract, if not
sold soon, will be leased for hog or
sheep feeding purposes this win
ter. Lack of patronage has forced
the association, which has lost over
S., 900 in the venture, to take the
action which means that petty jeal-
ousy and lack OF appreciation have
won out against this enterprise.

INSURANCE REVELATIONS.

The investigation into the affairs
of the New YORK life insurance
companies continues to bring forth
interesting revelations in the mat
ter of how the millions belonging to
the policy holders have been squan-
dered by the officials. Contribu-
tions to campaign funds, money
expended for bribing legislators,
and for other purposes, all come in
the category and make interesting
reading facts for the robbed policy
holder.
The Equitable, where the trouble
first originated, admits having
made various political contribu-
tions, now President Morton shows
up a queer deal whereby three mil
lion dollars were loaned on the
worst kind of security.
Probably the most interesting
revelation of last weeks investiga-
ton. was that voluntarily made by
President John Mccall of the New
York Life. He admits that his
company paid a noted lobbyist
$2S5, 600 for. attorneys fees" an
other way of dispensing the bloodle

before. blood poisoning followed
and il required some medical treat
ment and whole lot of suffering on
the part of the doctor to get the arm
back into it's normal condition.
The doctor thinks that some fellow
for whom he has pulled tooth had
a stand i'm with nature, and got
revenge through the blood poison
ing.
Mesdames Albert Melges and
Jaehning gave linen shower at
the Melges home on Fifth street last
Friday evening, the guest of honor
being Miss Julia Huntington, who
is scheduled for an October bride,
the lucky young man being Edwin
William Fedderly, rustling young
man of Paxton township, and the
happy event to occur on the even
ing of Oct. 4th. Between 30 and 80
people responded to the invitations
sent out and gave the bride veal
the shower of linen.
Miss Marie Emma Hauptli was
united in marriage to j. A. Peter
son of Rowena at the home
of the brides sister, Mrs.
Fred Murset, in this city, at three
O'Clock last Wednesday afternoon,
the Rev. G. W. Sandow of the North
Red wood Evangelical church, offici-
ating. The ceremony was perform
ed in the presence OF only the near
relatives and frinds of the contract
ing parties, in the parlor of the res
idence, which was prettily decorat-
ed with with white carnations and
smilax, while festoon of white rib
oonS was neatly arranged over the
bridal corner. The brides gown
was of white silk eolienne, trimmed
with chiffon insertion, and she car
ried a bouquet OF cream roses. A
dinner was served at five O'Clock.
The bride is we'll known in Red
wood county, she having been rails
ed in New Avon Township. In
that community and in this city she
has host of friends by whom she
is held in high regard, while the
groom, Jimmie" Peterson is one
OF the most popular young men of
the county. At Belview, Seaforth,
Rowena and in this city be is well
and favorably known as an honest,
progressive young business man.

received 800, 900 for his services,
for which he undoubtedly ought to
be doing time at Sing Sing.
On the subject of the New York
Life's campaign contributions, Mr..
Mccall said that they we're made
for the purpose of defeating the sill
yer platform and for the support of
the gold standard rather than of
the Republican party. He thought
the 1904 contribution was neces-
sary because Parker had twice vot-
ed for Bryan and was then candi-
date on platform framed by COM
mittee that had, by a majority of
two to one, rejected. the gold stan
dard.
Mr.. Mccall said that his life was
made weary by the Democratic can
dates chasing him for money in the
1904 campaign. Some of the very
men who, to-day, are being inter-
viewed in the papers and are de-
nouncing ,men who contribute to
campaigns we're crossing his path
every step he took, looking for
money. Zone, the candidate him
self-Parker, if he would show up
his books when he was chairman of
the Democratic state committee, it
would give you a fit, continued
Mr.. Mccall. He never rejected a
dollar in the world he would take
every dollar that was paid to him. "
During the campaign of 1904 Mr..
Mccall said that the shadows of the
Democrats were across his every
move, and he thanked God that
Bryan and free silver were beaten
and that he had share in their de-
feat. When the parties both had
gold platforms, he said, his COM
pany refused to contribute to
either.
Mr.. Mccall is a gold standard
Democrat.
1t is now reported that President
Roosevelt, on receiving information
of the insurance companies contri-
buting to the 1904 campaign fund,
has directed the Republican nation
al committee to return every dollar

pressed by our citizens at last

TALLY carried into effect.
That vote meant progress and it
behooves the board OF education to
get busy and equip the building
with the very best apparatus and
facilities for doing work. The best
is none too good.
A liberal policy in dealing with
our schools is now possible and is
demanded of our people. We don t
wish it said that our home schools
are way behind the neighboring
schools in any respect.
A complete high school means
many pupils from surrounding
territory; those pupils mean fire.

visits mean business for merchants!
