Chicago, August 3.-Judge kene-
saw NJ Lands TO-DAY. in the United
States district court. fined the Stan
dard Oil company of Indiana S29, 9,24O-
900 for violations of the law against
accepting rebates from railroads. The
fine is the largest ever assessed

criminal Jurisprudence. and is slight

the amount received by the company
through it's rebating operations. The
case will be carried to the higher
courts by the defendant company.
The penalty imposed upon the
company is the maximum permit

CHRISTIAN CURCH DEDICATION NEXT
Church Made Beautiful Within Preparatory to DedcatoY Exercises to
be Enacted Next Sunday Morning, Afternoon and Evening
Oliver W. Stewart of Illinois and Pastors of Nehboring Churches
Assist Pastor Nicholson in a Grand Church Jubilee

Next Sunday will be day to be
long remembered and spoken of by
the congregation of the Christian
church of this city, and a day to
reckon from with civic pride by all
public spirited citizens. On that day
the beautiful temple of worship
which has been in course Of erection
in this city for nine months past
will be formally dedicated to the
service of God, and will become
the church home of the plucky con-
gregation which has dared to make
many sacrifices in order that their
place of worship might be large
enough to permit of expansion in
their membership and beautiful
enough to be an index of the great
ness of their faith and conservation.
The story of the inception and
progress of the building has been
told in fragmentary way by the
local press, but all people will want
to hear it told in its entirety next
Sunday, by the men who toiled to
build it and by their eloquent repre-
sentative, Hon. Oliver w. Stewart
of Illinois, whose eloquence, SIM
plicity and beauty of statement will
be recalled by all who heard him
here two years ago.
The program for the dedicatory
services provide for the three serv-
ices during the day, the first at 1920
opening with a song service and
followed by a preliminary address
and announcements by the pastor,
Rev. E. C. Nicholson, who has al
lowed himself but fifteen minutes to
tell his part of the story of the
building and introduction of the
speaker who is to follow him Mr.,
Stewart.
The afternoon service is calcu-
lated to afford the pastors and peo-
pie of neighboring churches to ex-
press their neighborly interest with
out interfering with their own
services. Revs. Givler, Chambers,
Woods and Nook are expected to

Fx AUDITOR TOMPKINs IN BUSINESS.
Buys Out the Real Estate Firm of Peavey
& Ward of this City.

A real estate boom is certainly due
to hit somewhere in this vicinity
the coming season. Last week we
chronicled the future Incorporation
of realty and loan company by
Messrs. Miller, Peterson and David
son, and this week are enabled both
to re ,ort progress on that comblna
ton and the entrance of a new real
estate expert into the business. This
does not involve the further multi
plication of firms, however, as Mr..
|. N. Tompkins has availedss himself
of an opportunity to buy out the
business of firm already command
ing a good patronage.
As previously reported, Messrs.
Peavy & Ward have become inter-
ested in the Carlisle Land & sLoan
Co. and other South Dakota enter
prises which demand their, presence
in our sister state during the current
year. Mr.. Peavey expects to leave
for Faulkton in a few days and later
on will be followed by his partner.
They had worked up a good insur-
ance and real estate patronage, and
as Mr.. Tompkins' official duties
have made him peculiarly we'll in
formed on realty lines, it seems for
tunate that the business has fallen
into expert hands.
Mr.. Tompkins willl continue the
insurance and collection features of
the retiring firm, and has already
connected himself with reliable
agencies in Illinois. Indiana, Iowa
and other states, with a view to
finding eastern purchasersEfor Red
wood county farms.

kNONLTON BROS. SELL OUT.
Lauterbach Bros, Mike and Joe, to Car
ny On the Business Hereafter.

Beginning with this week the con-
fectlonery and ice cream business
heretofore carried on successfully
by knoWlton Bros. will be continued
under the management of the Lau-
terbach brothers, Mike and Joe.
The latter are both Redwood Falls
natives to all intents and purposes
and need no introduction here. They
both know how to work and are
among the dependable members of
the band and orchestra. Their large
acquaintance in the city and country
will be among the valuable factors in
building up the future business of
the brothers. For the present they
will continue the business on the
lines successfully followed by the
Knowltons.
KnoWlton brothers have no com
plant to make Of their business in
the past, except that it has exacted
close attention for seven days of the
week during most of the time of
their residence here. In order to
allow OF greater freedom and out
door life, and especially of whole
days rest on Sundays, they have
transferred their business and good
will to the purchasers above named.
They have made a good income ev-
cry year and the new firm are in a
position to make the same record.

making people acquainted with the
advantages of Redwood county, as

saying.

ginning of the official year. Follow
ing the announcement of Editor
Tuttle's assignment comes that of
O. L. Dornberg as clerk of the COM
mittee on public accounts and ex-
penditures. This committee requires
the clerical assistance of an expert
accountant, and formerly paid the
accountant $40 per day. The per
diem was cut in two at the last ses-
sion and the present allowance is
not proportionate to that given clerks
whose duties are merely nominal
for the first half of the session.
About the same time that Mr..
Dornberg was named in the House
of Representatives, Gov. Johnson
handed out his list of appointments
on the state board of optometry,
containing the name of H. M. Hitch
cock of this city. among others. Mr..
hitchcock has been a member of
this board ever since it's inception
six years ago. and president the
past four years. For political rea-
sons Mr.. Hitchcock was prepared
to see the recommendations of his
friends for his re-appointment
turned down this year, as it was
known that number of good dem
ocrats were bringing pressure to
bear on the governor in behalf of
certain democratic candidates for
the place. Mr.. Hitchcock probably
owes his re-appointment to the ex-
cellent record he has made in the
