"P0CkETS AND PARADlSES"
Ralph Parlette Delighted Large Au-
dience Monday Night.

A good-sized audience listened to
Ralph Particles lecture at the opera
house last Monday night, and after
nearly two hours of entertainment
and laughter, went home like Tow
ellis maiden" sort O smiley round
the mouth and teary round the
lashes." Parlette did not talk about
the University of Hard Knocks as
announced, but was moved to talk
about :" Pockets and Paradises y
80 lar as we know, no one grumbled
over the substitution, as it touched q
subject much discussed NOWADAYS
wealth and its abuses.
Parlette might be characterized as
homely both in thought and gesture
IN the primary sense of that word
having the characteristics of home
and this and his droll humor n,1ts
him IN sympathy with all home-lov-
ing and fun-loving people.
The fitness Of the lecture title
may be broadly indicated by one of
his statements, that mankind began
with one paradise and looks with the
eye of faith for another at the end
of the journey. That the tenants IF
the earthly paradise got along with
out pockets, and that the popular
idea OF wealth as something which
men put in their pockets is a false
idea, the true wealth that brings real
happiness being qualities of the af-
fections and of the mind.

DIES ON DUTY.
Drake Falls Dead atiErho, the
Victim of Appoplexy..

Stephan S. Drake, a brother of
George. Drake of this city, fell back
ward without syllable Of warning,
while engaged in his store. at Echo
last Wednesday afternoon
Mr.. Drake was hard worker at
all times, and had been putting in
overtime for few weeks, his son
Walter being with him as his assist
ant Ia the harness shop. Shortly be-
fore their supper time Mr.. Drake
spoke to his son about not working
that night, and almost Immediately
afterwards his son noticed that he
was falling and caught him. Young
Drake summoned doctor and Mrs.
Drake, but his father breathed his
last before the arrival of the doctor,
within very few minutes after his
attack. The cause of death is sup
posed to be due to appoplexy.
Steve" Drake was we'll known in
this city, havinglived here for 7 years
or thereabouts, coming here in 1884
and working for his brother George
in the latter's harness shop, until
his removal to Echo in 1891, where
he has been In business ever since.
He was born in Dover, England, in
1851, coming to this country and
joining his brothers at Rushford in
1868.
While a resident of this city he
was married to Miss Mary Barber,
and here his son Walter was born.
Miss Mamie Drake, aged Is, is the
only daughter, the widow and two
children constituting the surviving
/ family.
Steve Drake was know to all of
his friends as a kindly, conscientious
man, true to his convictions and to
| his fellowmen. His misfortune of a
I few aears ago, resulting in the loss
of one of his lower limbs, did not
seem to sour his disposition or great
! ly alter his outlook on life. His
| family will have the sincere sym
pathy of many in their hour of afflic-
I ton.

Glen Gold is now able to get

Last Thursday the high school
gave another fine program. The
debate, ''The Indians are justified in
rebelling against the Whites" was
very good, the affirmative winning.
The last but not the least was the
Peak Sisters. Our next program
will probably come in three weeks.
The Cantata Cinderella in Flow

SENSATIONAL SANDER SUIT
Wife of New Avon Farmer Sues Mayor
W. D. Lines For $4,000.

Legal papers were served on May
or Lines last week in a suit for dam
ages for defamation of character.
The suit is brought by Mrs. j HUI
wiler of New Avon, through her
attorneys, Daily & Barnard of Rem
vile. We understand that A. r. A.
Laudon and C. T. Howard Of this
city and A. w. Mueller OF Wabasso
will be attorneys for the defendant.
The complaint alleges that defend
ant is mayor Of the city of Redwood
Falls and is prominent and we'll
known thruout the state of Mime
sofa. That plaintiff is the wife Of
Joseph Huwiler, is DO years of age
and the mother of three children.
That during October, 1906, defend
ant Lines, with intent to injure her
in her good name, made serious
charges against her and a we'll known
auctioneer and real estate dealer, to
her husband, which damaged her to
the extent of $4,000.
That about the same time the de-
PENDANT, with intent to injure her,
repeated about the same charge to
six other gentlemen of the county,
each SANDER injuring her $4,000
worth. and that ne generally in Red
wood county circulated the charges,
but no special sum is set for these
ISLANDERS.
1t is generally understood that
the suit is the outgroWth of bad
blood engendered between the mayor
and auctioneer at the time of the
last election, Mayor Lines having
then repeated certain charges al
legged to be in circulation in New
Avon duplicating the parties above
referred to. The auctioneer at that
time was said to be after the mayor
to have a suit for damages instituted
for the alleged SANDER, but it has
been supposed that the matter was
afterwards dropped.
Both the defendant and his attor-
neys seem to be not at all gaverse to
having the suit come to trial, and
the latter promise some startling
surprises on their part.

School Board Reflect High School
Principal and Teachers,
Except One.
Splendid Corps of Teachers in the
Grades Also Re- Elected.
Two Out.

The school board, at a special
meeting last Wednesday evening,
took action for re-engaging all of
the teachers of last year who were
candidates for reelection. This in
volved an increase in the salaries of
a number of the teachers. the board
facing the alternative of meeting
the advanced scale of teachers
wages or risking the substitution of
new teachers and the impairment of
the efficiency of the teaching force.
The patrons of the school are to
be congratulated over the retention
of the 1906 teaching force for an
other year. This paper has already
called attention to the record of
Supt Mosher, and just as strong an
endorsement is due the work of the
principal, Miss Jessie NJ. Short,
whose removal would be looked up
on as little less than misfortune by
many Of the patrons of the school.
In her assistant, Miss Skoog, the
school has the services of splendid
latin teacher and good disciplinarian.
The high school has no more popu-
lar teacher than Mrs. Ed. Pratt,
who has a happy faculty for getting
and retaining the good will Of all
pupils with whom she comes in con-
tact, largely because she is both
willing and able to help them all.
Prof. Cedergren, as head of the
manual training department and
teacher Of sciences, is another factor
of strength in the high school corps.
Miss Mary Feely, teacher of Ger
man and English, handed in letter
addressed to the board, stating that
on account of a wish on her part to
seek a location in the west, she
would not be candidate for re-elec-
ton. Miss Stefflre of the seventh
grade and Miss Westfall of the third
also have plans for the coming year
which place them out of the list of
ehgibles for reelection.
The grade teachers reelected
were Misses Everett, Willard, Lar
kin, Kienholz, McArdle, Plapp and
Keelor, with only three vacancies tc
be filled.

Butter Maker keae of the Morton Creamery Buys Out the Stock

Creamery Association
Will Start Up About April 1 with firstCass Equipment Including
Pasteurizer for Cream, and Should be Welcomed
by All Good Citizens

A new turn in the affairs of the
creameries in this vicinity was
brought about during the past week,
by the purchase of the local cream

lar buttermaker at the creamery at
Morton. being the purchaser. The
details which led to this purchase
would make quite story, but it
would appear that w. H. Gold and
j. T. Cooper were the intermediar-
les In the transfer, the sale being
made to them and the property
transferred to Mr.. Keaehie, who
will operate the same, and who has
an excellent record to justify the
prediction that he will make sue
cess of the enterprise While he is
demonstrating to the dairy farmers
of this vicinity that he can deliver
the goods, Messrs. Gold and Cooper
will cash all creamery checks and
guarantee all other liabilities of the
new management.
A meeting of the directors of the
local creamery was held on the
morning of Saturday, previous to
the meeting which had been called
4 for the purpose of consolidating the
three creameries at North Redwood
Delhi and this place. Negotiations
were had with Messrs. Gold and
Cooper and the plant complete sold
| to the latter gentlemen at $3.50.
The fact that the plant was lying still
with no promise Of getting started
again under the cooperative plan
prompted the sale below original
value. There was an incumbrance

Falls is that the creamery is to be

show his faith in his ability to make
the enterprise successful, Mr.

The investigation carried on by
Mr.. Robertson's special committee
appointed to look into the question
of excessive charges by the express
companies doing business in Mime
sofa has already resulted in much
good. The investigation became so
interesting for the express com
panies that they voluntarily, thru
their officers, agreed to reduce their
rates 20 per cent. This means a
whole lot to people who are obliged
to have articles shipped to them by
express, but Mr.. Robertson, who is
an active young worker from Mar
shall county, doesn't propose that
the investigation shall stop on the
voluntary reduction of rates. He
insists that the companies must keep
in public place their schedule of
rates, and it has been announced
that such a procedure would also
be accepted by the companies in a
very short time. Still further, Mr..
Robertson believes that further re-
duction will in no wise injure the
companies, and he proposes to ascer-
tain if such is not the case, and if so
to have bill passed that will bring
about the reduction. He is agrees
slve and has been given the credit
OF getting what he goes after, and
the people of the state owe HIM and
his committee a big vote of thanks.
Two cent fare bills have been
passed by both branches of the leg
islature, but as yet there is no law
to that effect. The house was the
first branch of the legislature to
pass such a measure. 1t was sent
over to the senate day or two
before the senate considered a SIM
liar bill in special order. Usual
legislative courtesy would have in
duced the senate to take up the
house measure, consider it, amend
it If not exactly to the liking of the
senator's, and send it back to the
house, and if the latter branch dis
proved of the amendments it could
have asked for conference. But
the senators did not look at the
house bill. They considered the SEN
ate bill alone, and passed it by an
