C. Nicholson of this city would con-

Sleepy Eye papers announce that
millers from distant parts have been
making pilgrimages to Sleepy Eye
to investigate the new process for
cleaning grain invented by an en-
ployee IF the Sleepy Eye MILL The
American Cereal Co. is reported as
having made an offer of 100000
for Canadian rights in the inven-
ton, and it looks as though the
patent, if granted, would be worth
over a million dollars to it's owners.
In connection with the burning of
David Whittet's farm house recent
ly, Mr. Whittet is especially grateful
to Mr.. and Mrs. Marion Johnson
for neighborly assistance. AS the
nearest neighbors, they were first
notified, and Mrs. Johnson drove a
horse and routed out half dozen
or more neighbors while her hus-
band was doing timely work in
helping to remove the contents of
the building until re-inforcements
arrived.
The board of education met last
Wednesday evening and audited
quite a grist Of bills, appropriated
$50 for the purchase of needed
reference books and S25 for few
engravings for three of the grade
rooms which had not been provided
for, and passed resolutions giving
their approval to the presentation
of a class play by the seniors at
some future date. Supt. Mosher
announced that the small balance
due on the new piano would be
taken care of by the teachers and
pupils of the high school without
further recourse to the outside put :
lie. An excellent spirit of harmony Y
appears to pervade all the depart
ments Of the city schools.
The committee appointed by the
Morgan council to arrange for a
settlement with Mrs. R. H. Kemp
ton for injuries sustained by the
lady by reason of defective side
walk in that town has reported its
inability to reach an agreement, and
states that Mrs. Kempton's condi-
tion is so unsatisfactory that both
she and her husband are of the
opinion that a fair and equitable
amount Of damages could not be
decided upon at this time. 1t is
not at all unlikely that Morgan vii
lage will be a defendant in a suit
brought by Mrs. Kempton at the
next term of court in which the
lady will claim heavy damages
And here is where cement sidewalks
prevent accidents of this character
and where Redwood Falls may con
graduate herself upon the excellent
sidewalk facilities in this city.
With the first of March this yeal
some changes in the township law
go into effect that it may be wei
: to call attention to. Heretofore one
, of the supervisors elected at tht
annual town meetings has beer
designated upon the ballot as chair
man. Hereafter the board of super
visors each year, at their frs
meeting, must elect one of theil
: number as chairman, with the pro
: viso that if last year a chairman
: was elected for three years he will
5 continue to hold his office till tn,
} term he was elected for expires
In other words the law contemplates
e when present condition fully expire
t that each year one supervisor will
e be elected for three years and eacl
r year the board of supervisors, in
$ Guiding the new members, shall
