1t was then that the discussion

1t was then that the discussion
was had on the advisability of plac-
ing full county ticket in the field.
The consensus Of opinion was that it
would be best-not only for the pur-
pose of getting a lineup in Redwood
county and helping the head of the
state ticket, but also for the purpose
of giving the Republican candidates
run for their money. Heretofore
the Republican county candidates
have gone to bed after they were
nominated, and there was no awak-
ening until after the election. The
sachems agreed that this nap was
bad for the health of those candi-
dates.
Nothing was agreed upon as to
who the candidates should be. They
will be stirred up between now and
the date for filing, or agreed upon
at the Wabasso confab of Aug. 18th,
a few days before the close of the
filing dates. twas whispered around
that John P Cooper might run for
representative against C. M. Ben
dixen. Joe Keefe of North Red
wood was the pointer candidate for
auditor, w. J. Smithers Of Redwood

rather gently away from his straw
hat, George Posi- had tough time
keeping the shrievality buzz at a
distance, while Ben Sackreiter was
willing to listen to the distant hum
of the recording fee in the register
of deeds office. VIM. Boyle was
making noise like school superin-
tendent and it was thot that Albert
Mueller lowered around just to see
what there was in the county attor-
ney's office. George Goblirsch was
listening to a county commissioner
ship job from the Second and Chas.
E. Lamberton's friends reckoned
that he would be rather popular in
the city of Redwood Falls. But this
is largely guess, and if these things
don't transpire as they are recorded

pow-wow is to be kicked not The

his appearance. Wabasso, on that
quiet and cool day, was represented
by George Goblirsch, Leo Aftermath
and B. J. Schmitz, altho Leo left
the hall before the final act in the
great drama had been agreed upon.
Seward Wilcox whirled in from
Granite Rock just as the excitement
was at it's apex.
The meeting was largely medi-
tative. 1t was also secret. The
newspaper men were obliged to take
it in from the porch of Col. Pickett
hostelry. George Posi- presided and
Jos. R. Keefe acted as the "secre-
tary." 1t was decided to hold the
county convention at Wabasso, Sat-
urday, Aug. 25th. This convention
is to select II delegates to attend
the state convention, which will be
held at Minneapolis on Sept. 4th to
renominate John A. Johnson for
governor and to select his running
mates. The primaries are to be held
on the Wednesday evening previous,
Aug. 22d. The representation by
precincts will be given cut later.
The prerogative of the August
convention was somewhat modified
when the sachems proceeded with
the work of selecting the county
organization for the ensuing year.
George Posi- of Sanborn was select
ed as chairman of the county COM
mittee and Col. Jos. R. Keefe was
returned to his old job of secretary.
R. G. Rogers, the Delhi sachem, is
to handle the funds under the official
title of treasurer. Five additional
committeeman were selected one
from each commissioner district.
Joe Danielson of Walnut Grove ac-
cepted the honor from the first
district, Peter J. Pint from the
second, J. w. Hopfenspirger of Nor
gan from the third, G. w. Vaughn
from the fourth and J. B. Gaffney
from the fifth.
These committeeman were in
structed to select one or more COM
mitteemen from each precinct for
the purpose of keeping up the fires
when cooler weather makes its ap-
pearance.

being on the stage, as we'll as in the
shoe business. His balancing acts
were difficult, and as they were bur-
lesqued by Mr.. Clements it was
laughter that followed wonderment.
The interiocutory work of Mr.. Cd
ekirk was that of professional, and
here it can be said that Mr.. Odekirk
added much to the success of the
choruses as well as to the middle
man work. The solos by Harry
Ward, Charles Cowgirl and Frank
Lobdell, and particularly the one by
Henry Albrecht, were all summers
and called for encores, and the snap
Ply chorus added much to their sue
cess. Walter Francois interjected
spice into the proceedings by occas-
ionally taking a fall across the stage.
In the specialties Charlie Apitz's
Dutch character was among the big
events. His makeup was perfect.
His appearance was catchy and his
dialect speech equalled anything ev-
er before heard on high-grade
vaudeville stage. Walter Francois
flight of rhetoric and oratory kept
the audience in merriment, while
DR.. Brand and |. N. Tompkins made
a distinctive hit in their bass drum
speciality. The Pickaninny band,
the Georgia male quartet and the
singing school features added great
ly to the success of the event.

A BIG MINSTREL SUCCESS.
The X. of P. Minstrel Presentation Makes
Good to an Immense Crowd.

Rastus Coon's K. P. Jubilee Min
strels was given a genuine ovation
by large audience, composed in a
measure, of friends of the troupe,
at the opera house Monday evening,
and the presentation proved what
has long been maintained that Red
wood Falls contains sufficient young
men, endowed with sufficient talent
to put up a minstrel show that ex-
GELS any travelling troupe that may
happen around these woods. Prac-
tlce makes perfect. The boys were
not entirely perfect because they
did not have all the practice neces-
sary, but they were sufficiently
versed in their parts and showed a
natural talent to do this class of
work that made the evening one of
the most pleasant and memorable in
the history of show performances in
this city. They amused, pleased and
instructed. They entertained as a
consequence, and with Prof. Fish S
superb orchestra furnishing the
music there was no one left the hall
but what felt that the ticket money
had been fully returned.
The street parade at noon gave
the impetus of a big show. When
the. overture had been rendered by
the orchestra in the evening and the
curtain went up on the first part
the patrons realized that a big show
was on. Richly costumed were the
minstrels, superbly set was the
stage, and when Coils. belong and
Clements made their appearance as
end men the laughter commenced.
The best tribute that can be paid to
both gentlemen is that they were at
home in their parts, their dialect
was perfect, their expression clear,
and their jokes refined and laugha-
BILE in the extreme. Belongs trick
dog was an equal watcher for the
audience. Later in the evening

DONK AFTER ELEPHANT
Democrats of Redwood County Have
Preliminary Conference and De-
eide on Making Circle.
Full County Ticket to be Placed in the
Field and 6. O. P. Candidates
to be Chased.

Some of the leading Democratic
sachems of Redwood county held
meeting at Wabasso last Friday af-
ternoon and in a preliminary pow
WOW decided upon placing a full
county ticket in the field at the
September primaries, and as a Sc
quence at the general election in
November. The sachems all con-
tended that by doing so they would
add strength to the Democratic can
didate for governor, inasmuch as
the county candidates would get out
and rustic for the head of the ticket.
A notable absentee, and one that
caused intense regret on the part of
the conferees, was that of the Hon.
Michael Maher of the first ward of
the city of Redwood Falls. 1t ap-
pears that Mr.. Maher did not re-
ceive official notice of the gathering
and consequently was not present.
Since that time he has taken several
of the lieutenants to task for not Civ
ing him proper notice.
From Redwood Falls there was
G. w. Vaughn, Chas. E. Lamberton,
w. j. Smithers and H. G. Schmahl.
From Walnut Grove came Joseph
Danielson, VIM. Boyle and Ole Bjore.
From North Redwood was Col. Jos.
R. Keefe and M. A. MCGOWAN.
From Delhi there came J. B. Calf
ney, j. B. Whittet, R. G. Rogers
and H. c. Engeman. From Sanborn
there came Col. George Posi-, Peter
]. Pint, Ben Sackreiter and Louis
Weber. From Vesta that iron
bound old sachem, Nels Lewis, made
