j. M. Thompson was in the city
bankers day, and while talking over
his withdrawal as a candidate, made
the remark that he had made up
his mind never to enter politics
again as a candidate. He had en-
joyed the fun of hustling for other
fellows at various times, and might
do that again, but that was the
limit. J. M. expects to have the
bank at DEVILS Lake ready for bust
ness about June LIST.
1t is estimated that nearly SOC
people attended the funeral of the
late Mrs. Geo. johnson Tuesday of
last week. Among the relatives and
friends of the family were T. Reeves
and wife of Gladstone, Mimi, D. G.
Willard and wife of Mankato, L.
Stearnes and wife of St. Paul, Mrs.
Chas. Stoddard and Miss Stoddard
of Candy, and Mrs. Henderson and
George Phelps of Waseca.
Monday noon, while the boys at
the Hutchinson high school were
practicing throwing the discus,
young Hugo Rusch got within throw
ing distance of the thing and, not
seeing the weight coming towards
him, he received the whole force
of the thing in the face. His
nose was badly mashed up, about
every bone being broken. More
serious injury was narrowly averted.
This accident will perhaps serve as
a reminder for those throwing such
weights with carelessness.
Fayette F. Leavitt of Lake Crystal,
who represented Minnesota at the
recent interstate oratorical contest
at Topeka, Kansas, is a Redwood
county boy. He was born on a
farm near Walnut Grove and at

ago his father, H. H. Leavitt, re-
moved with his family to Lake
Crystal, where young Leavitt gradu-
ated from the high school and after
wards entered Hamline university

manager and second tenor in the
Hamline glee club, which visited
Redwood Falls few months ago
Altho young Leavitt did not wir
first honors at Topeka, he only
lackedd two points of rating thirc
best in a field of eleven contestants
His honorSas Minnesota's champion
came to him in his junior year al
Hamline.
A fifteen minute talk with Record
er F. A. Gray, just returned from
California, gives one better idea OF
conditions in earthquake stricken
San Francisco than the newspaper
accounts are able to convey. They
are certainlyibad enough. Mr.. Gray
was taken all over the city by q
brother Odd Fellow who lost his
home and all he possessed in the
disaster, and was given an inside
glimpse Of the tragedy. The whole
city is dependent on the relief dis
tribution, practically speaking, and
as this condition must continue some
time, those who can get away are
leaving on every train. The cook
ing is almost entirely done out of
doors, in fire places improvised from
the stones and bricks Of the ruins,
as no chimneys, even in the I'M
burned section of the city, is safe
for use as fue Mr.. Gray says
that if one can imagine what Mime
apolis would look like from Union
depot bridge, with all the buildings
in heaps of rubbish for an area of
AZ blocks, except here and there a
standing ruin like the guaranty loan
building or the city hall, without
doors or windows, he will have some
idea of the San Francisco of to-day.
He also says that the presence of
the military in the city saved the
