The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1906-06-06

Mrs. L. G. Davis of Sleepy Eye
accompanied her husband to this
city last Wednesday afternoon.
Sheriff Schueller has appointed
Henry Holdhouse jailor to succeed
Harry Clark, who has rendered his
resignation and Mr.. Holdhouse has
already assumed the work of his
new position.
DR.. E. A. Lyman and family left
for Green Lake, Kandiyohi county,
last Monday, and as soon as the
doctor gets them settled for the
summer he will return to Redwood
Falls and resume his dental prac-
tice at this point.
The band gave its first open air
concert Wednesday evening and the
young men made the old organiza-
ton seem as good as in days of yore.
The several selections were superbly
rendered, and made the evening
around the stand a most pleasing
one. Certainly Col. Al. Fish is prov
ing himself to be decidedly clever
director.
The passenger department of the
Chicago & Northwestern railway
announces that the rate to Denver,
Colorado Springs and Pueblo, in
September, on the occasion of the
Centennial celebration of the dis
covery of Pixies Peak, will be S25
round trip from Chicago. The lines
east of Chicago will probably an
nounce a correspondingly low rate
from all points.
A new county office is created by
the new code known as supervisor
of assessments, the appointment to
be made by the board of county
commissioners. The matter is dis
cretionary with the board to create
the office or not, just as they think
best. The duty Of such supervisors
is to direct the work of the assessors
and see that they assess properly
and upon an equitable basis. In
view of recent developments in this
county in connection with the list
ing of property for assessment it
would seem that the new law is Just
the thing needed. Of course the
supervisor should be a man we'll
qualified and of firm disposition.
Where property escapes taxation by
the tens of thousands, held by par
ties some of whom pay less than
one-twentieth part of their share,
the salary for a supervisor would
prove a good investment. In this
county frst-class man could prob
ably be had for a salary of five
hundred dollars annually, and such
man would easily earn that amount
twice over and at the same time be
instrumental in equalizing the as
sessments to the satisfaction of
every individual tax payer.
The production of the Chimes of
Normandy" to be given under the
auspices of St. Paul Council No.
1877, Knights of Columbus, at the
Metropolitan opera house, St. Paul,
on Friday and Saturday evenings,
June and 9, is causing much fav-
orite comment in the musical circles
of ST. Paul and Minneapolis. In the
ranks of the Knights of Columbus
there is to be found some of the
best vocal talent in the Twin cities
and in bringing this out in the
Chimes" which is considered to be
Robert Planquette best creation,
the council is to be congratulated.
Further than this it is promised that
the production will be one of the
most elaborate ever given by an
amateur company. The stage set
tings and the costumes are the best
that could be procured and the care
full attention that is being given
details in every respect, warrants a
complete artistic performance. The
leading woman's role, Serpolette,
will be taken by Miss Hatcher Geist.
Miss Geist completed her musical
education in Germany, and is capa-
BILE Of giving fine Interpretation of
this difficult role. Miss Clara Nc
Cauley, who will assume the role of
Germaine, is a singer of ability and
well able to do credit to her part.
The other female parts will be sung
