LIBRARY NOTES.

Under the leadership of Mrs. M.
L. Finn Of the library board an
active canvassing for unbound per-
iodicals around the city has been
going on for the past two weeks
with gratifying success to the board.
She has secured almost complete
set of the Century magazine. lack
ing only one volume of having a
complete set from 1882 to 1904. Any
person having old volumes, or even
numbers of that magazine from 1880
to '82 and from 1904 to date and
who desire to donate them to the
public library will confer a favor on
the board by notifying Mrs. Finn
or any other member Of the library
board of the woman's club.
Besides the Century, Mrs. Finn
has also secured many volumes and
numbers of Mcclure, Cosmopolitan,
Review of Reviews, Worlds Works,
Scribner and other standard maya
zines.
The use of the library by the
pupils of the high school and by
others for reference work is rapidly
growing. The ibraryahas ''Pooles
Index" and has lately purchased
1.-The Readers Guide" By the use
of these two works anysperson in or
around Redwood Falls,ycan get in
formation as to where articles on
almost any subject have been pub
lished in some Of these magazines.
There is hardly personsin Redwood
Falls but that sometimes desires in
formation on some subject and is
willing to go to quite bit of trou-
BILE to know more aboutsthe matter.
If the library had files of these
standard magazines that informa-
ton could be gained in Ia few min
utes time at the library.
Thousands of numbers Of these
valuable magazines have been given
away or destroyed within the past
five years. If given ftosthe library
they would be accessible, not only
to the owners but to the rest of the
public. There are now other thou
sands of these magazines stored in
attics, lofts, and other places and of

no present use to anybody. Persons
owning them are earnestly urged to
turn them over to the board in all
cases where there is no intention of
binding them. The gift to the Ii
brary is a donation to the future as
well as the present generation.
If we could have these magazines
there is not a person in Redwood
Falls who could not, at some time,
find a practical and helpful use of
the library.
The library, through the generos-
ity of H. A. Baldwin, has come into
the possession of the Mrs. Geo.
Buxton orange tree, Mrs. Buxton
kindly selling it at fraction Of its
real value when assured it would be
donated by Mr.. Baldwin. Mr.. Lacy
has just made a donation of SIS
toward the book fund. Mr.. Lacy
is one Of the constant readers and a
firm supporter of our library.
The members Of the board pur-
chased for the library the handsome
rubber plant formerly owned by DIR.
Givler. Lovers of.sfne plants can
see either at any time the library is
open by visiting the library.
Many farmers wives come to town
and while waiting for their hus-
bands are sincerely welcome to the
library, where they will find the late
periodicals in the reading room. In
the exceptional cases where the hus-
bands have to wait they also will be
welcome to visit the library. bic the
people about the city would take
advantage Of the reading room for
a few times they would not only
enjoy the "rest room" but would
soon become regular patrons of the
library.
The library is steadily Fgrowing
and only needs to be visited to be
appreciated. The writer is an occa-
sional visitor and the one thing that
has always impressed him is the
sight of so many of our young peo-
| pie studying and!s reading in the
evening. It is apparent that the
boys and girls are:fndingsa sane and

John GIum Caught in a Self-Feeder
Through Rashly Putting
His Foot In It,
Both Legs Terribly ! Lacerated, But
Young Man Will Probably
Recover.

Monday evening, about six o'clock,
while threshing on the julius Mel
ges farm southwest of this city,
John Glum was drawn into self
feeder and terribly cut up, espe-
cially about the lower limbs, and
will be fortunate if he escapes with
out losing his right leg below the
knee.
At the time of the accident the
crew was threshing flax, and the
feeder showing tendency to clog,
young Glumm put out his foot to
shove the straw to the knives. when
one of the blades caught insthe bot
tom of the trousers on his right leg,
drawing him in like a flash. His
brother was in charge Of the engine,
and was looking at John, and de-
'clares that he made the quickest
stop OF the machinery that he ever
made in his life, which probably saved
his brothers life. AS it was, John
was drawn into the cruel knives as
far as his hips, and his lower limbs
seemed at first torn into shreds. A
hasty first aid was effected and the
young man speeded to town in 8
very short time, where his wounds
were dressed by Drs. Pease and
Gibson. The muscles and flesh were
pretty badly torn on both legs, and
on the right leg one of the bones
was split. The doctors say, that il
there is no dangerous inflammation,
their patient may pull through with.
