AT RISK OF HIS LIFE.

AT Risk of His Life is a new
play written by Mark E. Swan. 1t
has been one of the greatest sue
cesses in melodrama in the east, and
is offered this season by Chase &
Lister for the first time in repertoire.
We can safely guarantee that it
is the first production Of the piece
in your city, as the play has never
been done outside of the larger
eastern cities until this season. 1t is
a melodrama filled with new ideas
and novel situations, the interest be-
ginning with the first act and con-
tinuing turnout the action of the
play. The comedy is strong, and the
plot original, and it is play we can
recommend. At the Redwood Falls

POWER OF LOVE
Eloquent Father Vaughn Gives a Large
Audience Something Worth
Thinking Over.
"IOye is Heaven and Heaven is Love"
Not a Meaningless UtteranCe
of the Poet.

1t is fortunate that the lecture of
Father Vaughn last Thursday even
ing was presented to a large audi
ence, representing not only the more
literary tastes of our city, but the
plain fathers and mothers, and espe-
cially the young people of the city
and of number Of our neighboring
towns. There is only one Father
Vaughn, and an adequate report of
his lectures is beyond the attainment
of the average reporter. Those who
were out last Thursday evening will
not soon forget some of the more
dramatic episodes photographed on
their memory by the glowing words
and impersonations of the gifted
lecturer and teacher. The story of the
self-satisfied and exacting father and
his awakening to a realization of his
duty to his young daughter after
looking at her lifeless body, that of
suicide; the wonderful portrayal
of the scriptural scene, where the
woman who was a sinner washes the
Savior's feet with her tears and
wipes them with her long tresses
left their impress on the minds of
many. The lecture was in no re-
spect sentimental, and only toward
the close did Father Vaughn turn
even briefly from seriousness to
humer. 1t was ;. Tie
deep problems Of society, which
Father Vaughn believes can only be
solved by the practical application
Of the power of love.
The lecture was especially direct
ed to the SNUG and pharasaical
church member who would hold
himself aloof from the average err
ring sinner, and in this respect re-
minds one of Billy Sundays fiery
imprecations against unc hri stan
/ Christians.

LECTURE COURSE WINS OUT.

With the Father Vaughn lecture
fourth in the course of five enter
tainments planned for the library
course, there is no longer room for
doubling that Redwood Falls is pre-
pared to sustain a course of really
good entertainments and lectures.
If the coming lecture by Ralph Par
lette- a semi-humorousl lecture which
is highly commended is patroniZed
at the same ratio as the others,
there will be something worth while
left for the public library book fund.
Great credit is due to Supt. Mosher
for advertising the course, and to
Secretary Brand for looking after
the business end of Encouragement
in other respects. The cashIreceipts
aside from course tickets at the
Father Vaughn lecture were up
wards of $40, the highest record
made during the course.

MOSHER TO STAY
Board of Education Reflect the Super
intendent Another Year, at
Advanced Salary.
Has Made Good in All Respects in
Helping to Build Up Schools
of this City.

At its regular monthly meeting
last Monday evening, the board of
education of this city reelected
Supt. w. J. Mosher as superlntend-
ent of the city schools for the third
time. The action was unanimous IN
all respects, the board taking the
ground that after placing our schools
in the front rank in point OF equip
ment and discipline, it would be
Door business to make needless eX-
periments or take unnecessary risks
of letting some of the many schools
in this vicinity induce the head OF
our schools to accept an offer to go
elsewhere, pending uncertainty as to
the action of the school board here.
The election carries with it salary
of $500 per year, which is 500
more than the board has voted
hitherto, $1400 being the figure
offered Supt. Edwards two years
ago, which he subsequently declined
to 90 after better salary at Worth
ington.
Aside from all considerations OF
mere expediency, Supt. Mosher full.
ly deserved the honor implied by his
reelection to third term at a gooo
salary. He has demonstrated the
possession of thorough conscientious
ness in his work, tact and sympathy
in all his associations with teachers,
pupils and patrons of the school, un-
firing industry and persistence II
working to definite and matureC
plan of action. All of his thought
seems to have been devoted to the
aim. of making the Redwood Fall!
schools little better than the com
mon run, and in this he has beer
aided by a principal and corps O.
teachers dominated by the same am
bition. With what has already beer
accomplished and what is planned
for the coming year, Redwood Fall
is now in line of promotion to thu
front rank of high schools in thu
state, so far as actual results il
scholarship are concerned.

THE GAZETTE AS A YOUNGSTER.
H. R. EDWARDS.

John Longbottom of Seaforth was
in this city last Tuesday, and in con-
versation mentioned the fact that he
had been regular subscriber of
The GAZETTE for thirty years. There
are quite a number of our readers
in that class. We heard F. V.
Hotchkiss say a few days ago, that
in the capacity of village black
smith he helped set up the Washing
ton press which printed the first
paper actually printed in this city,
in 1870. Before that time, in SO,
Col. McPhail had the Redwood Falls
Patriot, a 4-page paper one-fourth
the present size of The GAZETTE,
printed at ST. Peter, by j. M. Perry.
This contained the delinquent tax
list, and was continued but short
time. The paper which Mr.. Hotch-
kiss aided as above stated, was The
Redwood Falls Mail, published by VI
G. Seward, which paper was subse
quently sold to w. B. Herriott anC
re-christened THE REDWOOD GA
ZETTE.

Sunday is in a class by himself.
You can't compare him with other
men except by way of contrast His
work here was quite different in its
results from the work at Redwood.
The most remarkable feature of the
work here was the changed attitude
of a large number of our young
men. If nothing else had been ac-
complished, this would have repaid
many times over all the effort and
expense. The young men have
organized and will continue the
work among the boys and young
men until they have built up a
Young Mems Christian association.
The work among the young people
was due largely to the efforts of
| Miss Miller who, is an enthusiastic
worker. Nearly all the pupils of
the public school became intereste
IN the meetings and in the Bible
study work which followed
The work among the young people
here was much more successful than
al Redwood. Possibly not as many
men took stand but still the num-
Der was large. The total number of
cards signed by those who went
forward was 1915. The gift to Mr..

have certainly been revived, church

There is one factor which is apt
to be too lightly considered when
discussing the development of the
Minnesota river as highway for
the transportation of the products
of the valley, and of the Dakotas as
well. 1t is claimed by some that no
river in the country is better adopt
ed to canahzation" than this.
which stretches from one border of
the state to the other. The volume
of water available is far greater
than will be required to operate
New York's great barge canal
from Buffalo to the Hudson; espe-
clally since engineers have shown
that it can be supplemented by
stored floods from the Red River of
the North. Sites for the inexpensive
construction of reservoirs are claimed
to be numerous. The conversion of
the river into a slackwater channel
might in part solve the problem of
transporting the wheat and other
crops of the northwest to market
without congesting the railroads as
they are congested today.
Perhaps the Minnesota Valley I'M
t provement association will make it a
point to get expert engineering adj
vice as to the feasibility of this
project. If the river can be canal
lied" at moderate cost, the invest
ment would come back MANIFOLD in
the increased attractiveness of the
valley to agriculturists and manu-
facturers alike.

We lean that Willinger is not
severely injured. He has a few
teeth knocked out, cut on one
knee and few scars on his face.
In the hurry Of going to press, we
only can learn that Mr.. Brandt was
