S. J. RACE RESIDENCE SOLD.

Another fine Redwood Falls home
changed hands Tuesday, with the
purchase of A. M. Dennistoun of
this city of the large residence on
Wyoming street built by S. j. Race
and occupied by his family up to the
time of his removal to Minneapolis
last fall. Mr.. Race spent nearly
$4,000 in modern improvements and
engagements of the original house
only a few years ago, and it pos
sessed one Of the handsomest lawns
in the city. At $4,000, the price at
which the house was decided to Mr..
Dennistoun, it was certainly bar
gain. Mr.. Dennistoun has made ar
rangements to install the family of
his brother-in-law, F. M. Banker, in
the house in the near future, reserv-
ing rooms for his own bachelor
occupancy. AS to the more remote
future, Archie isn't saying a word.

well founded and at the same time
excruciatingly funny and is outlined
as follows: "A College Boy while
attending college is secretly married

series of amusing mishaps arise
from their efforts to keep their
marriage from becoming known.
The young Benedict is forced to go
to school by well meaning professors

AN ECHO OF SIOUX MASSACRE.

DIR. Gibson's family entertained
two pioneer Minnesota women last
week, both of whom have survived
remarkable and tragic past. Fifty
years ago Mary Schwandt and Mrs.
Jas. Carothers settled with their
families in Renville county. Mrs.
Carrothers lived in what is now Bea-
yer Falls and Mary Schwandt's pa
rents up the Minnesota on Middle
Creek (Flora). When the Indians
arose at the time of their murderous
outbreak of '62, Mrs. Carothers and
Miss Schwandt were taken prisoners
by the Sioux, at different places, and
held captive until the surrender of
the savages at Camp Release (near
what is now Montevideo). Mrs. Car
rothers was an aunt Of the late Mrs.
DIR. Pease. and later in life, after the
death of her husband, became Mrs.
l.. II. Tarble. Her home has been at
Dodge Center for many years, and
there she formed the acquaintance of
Mrs. Gibson. The Mary Schwhndt
Of '62, emerged after the massacre
to find only a younger brother alive
out of considerable family. She is
now Mrs. VIM. Schmidt of st. Paul.
Both ladies appear to be hale and
vigorous in spite of having passed
the three score mark. In a future
number of The Gazette we purpose
giving some account of the expert
ences of these brave women in '62,
as one of the instruments of pioneer
history of this vicinity.

predict that the old town will be
filled up part of the time at least
during the three days assigned for
the fair. Come Wednesday if you
don't want to be jostled and crowd
ed. One day will be just as good as
another.
Billy Owens, who appears tobe the
sponsor Of the Southside Day idea,
has written a, lively letter to Presi-
dent Baldwin. containing the follow
ing sample sentences: Don't you
worry about this dinky' populist
territory, as | bet it will send more
people to the fair than any other
town in the county. Wouldn't be
surprised if we would bring along a
pig or two, and certainly bunch of
lids" Lamberton's and Sanborn's
champions should raise Billy's bluff
and make him hustle to make it
good. The train will leave Walnut
Grove at $40, will stop at all inter
mediate points and arrive here be-
tween II and IL. Guests will have
tie rest of the day here and return

Already the wheels are moving
for the success off the big county
fair next week. The corner lots
used for stock sheds last year have
practically all been rooted over. the
capacity of the stock pens and stalls
being considerably larger than last
year, and the expectation is that
extra space will be required in adj
joining spaces. But, anyway, Mr..
Durham is bound to find. room for
all exhibits properly entered.
In the matter of amusements the
people will also find nothing lacking.
In addition to the Beckett family,
announced last week. who give four
sensational acts every day, Harry
Lines, artist in Juggling and balanc-
ing, has been secured for free ex-
hibitions during the fair, and there
will also be merry-go-round. an

this company appear in vocal and
instrumental solos, duets, quartets,

Chapman, situated on the southeast
corner of Fourth and Jefferson
streets, and of Julius A. Schmahl,
situated in the same block on Fourth
streets were sold to William F. Jack
son, agent for the Roller Mill Co.
of New Ulm at this place, and who
secured the two properties for rea-
sons best known to himself.
The consideration for the Schmahl
residence brick and frame ten
room residence, modern in every re-
spect, was $500, while the consid-
Grafton for the Chapman residence. a
modern frame structure, was 81 500.
AS a result of the transaction Mr..
Schmahl secures for Sc, 400 the quar-
ter section farming tract known as
the northwest quarter of section Fl,
Redwood Falls township. which has
been owned by Mr. Jackson up to
the time that the transfer was made.
Both transactions were based upon
cash, and Mr.. Chapman receives a
cash payment for his property.
Mr.. Chapman has had the matter
Of the double translation under ne
gotiation for more than a month,
and it was only by his good manage
ment, and of all parties interested
in giving way on some slight matters
that the deal was finally consum-
mated.
Curiously enough Mr.. Schmahl
was the builder of both of the resi-
dences. The Chapman residence was
erected by him seven years ago, and
was sold to Mr.. Chapman a year or
two later. After Mr.. Chapman made
the purchase he spent nearly $4,000
in improvements, such as additions
to the rear and the porch in front,
as we'll as adding a combination
heating plant. Col. Isham, who
furnished the lumber for the orig
inal structure, estimated that the
building could not be erected today
for $500. Mr.. Jackson thus Sc
cured fine bargain.
A year after disposing of the
property to Mr.. Chapman Mr..
Schmahl had the plans prepared in
st. Paul for his third residence prop
erty, his first property being that

and were then turned over to a Wi
mona architect for revision into a

in the city.
Mr.. Schmahl's family will return
to St. Paul about Nov. 1st. Mr..
Chapman will reside here for several
months before he leaves for a mild
er climate for the winter. at least.
He will not leave Redwood Falls en-
tirely, at least not until he closes
out his farming interests in the
county.
Mr.. Schmahl, aside from being a
state official, will now have to be
classed among the farming element,
and he even intimates that when he
retired from the political arena he
may return and erect buildings on
his quarter and get down to hard
work once again.
We are informed that DIR. A. As
Lesson and family will own and occu-
by the Chapman house, while Mr..
Jackson will retain the house now
occupied by J. A. Schmahl and fam

be given by Mr.. Chapman Oct. 18th,
and by Mr.. Schmahl before Nov.

REDWOOD COUNTY SCHOOLS.
In Front Rank According to Supt. Beber
meyers Annual Report.

The work of collating all the sta
tistics required by law for the an
nual report of the superintendent of
schools of this county is no easy one.
Supt. Bebermeyer is just finishing
up his work on this document, and
has permitted The GAZETTE to pre-
sent some of the larger and more
important items of the report to our
readers this week.
For the year closing June 1st,
1907, there were 10 schools in all
in session. Of these two were high
schools, 5 graded schools. Z semi
graded schools, and the balance
rural schools.
The number of pupils enrolled in
all the schools was 5.196, but owing
to unfortunate weather conditions
and the consequent detention of
pupils to work at home instead of
keeping up their attendance, FOL of
those enrolled were not entitled to
apportionment and hence two or
three thousand dollars of state
school money was forfeited on ac-
count of deficient attendance.
The report will state that all of
the schools have free text books.
and that the average cost of these is
81 cents per pupil. When we think
what parents were compelled to pay
for school books under the old sys-
tenn, it makes one wonder why it
took so long to find out the waste
fitness of it.
The statistics in regard to teach
ers will also be found of interest.
OF the 1853 teachers reported lat
were women and 16 men. The
average wages paid the women
teachers was only SAB, but it is
doubtful whether this minimum will
be repeated in next years report.
The men teachers. most of whom
were principals, received an average
of only fraction less than $40 per
month $69.05. The rating of these
teachers as to scholarship was with
college diplomas, Al with normal
school training and 80 high school
graduates. Sixteen of the teachers
had held their positions for three or
more years and twenty-nine for two
years.
For next year So applications
have been sent in for state aid as
first-class rural schools, and 8 for
aid in the second class. This will
certainly keep Redwood county in
the front rank in Minnesota, with "a
out of 11O-including high schools,
graded and semi-graded entitled to
the state premiums allowed for such
schools.
Considering the fact that the
farming communities in more than
half of the districts of this county
have not been enjoying prosperity,
on account of rainy seasons, the re-
port is highly encouraging.

TEACHERS AND PARENTS CONFER.

The superintendent and teachers
of the city schools sent out invita-
tons to parents of the pupils to
meet them in conference in the high
school building last Friday, imme-
diately after school. The object was
to enable teachers and parents to
become better acquainted and to
talk over plans for securing the best
results in school work. The object
was most praiseworthy. and nearly
forty parents and most Of the teach
ers appeared and Informally talked
over school problems. Slpt. Mosher
presided, and endeavored to get an
expression from all present. The
matter most definitely taken up was
the limiting of the social engage
ments of pupils SO that they would
not conflict with school work. Agree
ment was reached on the PROPOSE
ton that parties and entertainments
should be planned for Friday and
Saturday nights as far as practical
BILE so as not to interfere with study
periods Of the pupils.
The conference demonstrated that
the spirit of the teachingl corps all
the way through is all right. and
that their ambition.sis to lhelp the
pupils to help themselves education
ally and every other way. GAS par
ents certainly have the same aspira-
tions for their children. itsis obvious
that cooperation by. parents and
teachers will give results. The senti-
ment of all present appeared to be
that these conferences. should be
made an occasional feature through
the school year.
At the close of the session Miss
Luebner sang a solo, demonstrating
that the new teacher of music and
English is the possessor Of a sweet
voice and uses it in a pleasing and
natural manner.
