SOUTHSIDE DAY.
Plan to Get Special Train on Second
Day of the Coming Fair.

In connection with County Attor-
ney Ovens appearance here last
week, proposition was formulated
for engaging the Walnut Grove band
for the second day of the coming
county fair, and making the day
special feature as southside day.
While the arrangements have not
been formally completed, there
seems to be no dissent to the propo-
sition on either side so far, and we
believe that the thing is a go. The
plan is to make the second day the
big day Of the fair in the matter of
amusements and special features of
all kinds and to have the railroad
arrange the running of the special
train to suit the convenience of our
southside neighbors. with a reason
able rate for the round trip. An
nouncement will be made as to de-
tails later, but we look forward to
Southside Day with a good deal Of
confidence.

OUR FRIENDS AT LONG BEACH.

Urn Bergen submitted to friend
ly inquisition at THE GAZETTE office
last week, about what he had seen
and experienced at Long Beach. He
left Will Wallace and family in the
best of health, and incidentally told
how the former had disappointed
one of the officials of the new bank,
who told Cashier Wallace he would
do well if he ran the bank deposits
up to the hundred thousand mark
the first year of business. Mr..
Wallace thought he could do better
than that, and as matter of fact
had his deposits up to the hundred
thousand mark in little over five
months from the time the little bank
opened its doors. Mr.. Bergen says
that Wallace has an excellent office
force and is making friends for him
self and his bank every day as might
be expected. He thought Mr.. Wal
lace would be back in Redwood Falls
this fall, in connection with a bust
ness mission in North Dakota.
Another ex-Redwood resident now
at Long Beach is Velora Tenny.
Velora's lines have fallen in pleasant
places so far as prosperity goes. He
is Independent Of business cares and
has accumulated enough of this
worlds goods to put him on Easy
street. He has a 81, 900 home and a
faculty for buying and selling real
estate with good margin of profit.
Mr.. Bergen did not talk about his
own business experiences except in
general way to say that the family
found Long Beach very pleasant
town to live in. The beach from
which the town takes its name is
nine miles long. and is a favorite
resort for the Los Angeles people.
with a four minute service the most
of the day. AS an example of the
way people flock there in warm
weather; Mr.. Bergen says that near
" fifteen thousand people were on
the beach on the 18th Of July. Every
day. even in the Warmnst weather
a cool sea breeze comes in at 10
o'clock and continues until evening.

PARCEL SHOWER.
Friends of the Bride of This Evening
Have a Jolly Time.

Miss Maud Bunce as hostess man.
aged very pleasant social affair at
her home near the lake side last
Thursday, the guest of honor being
Miss Caroline Theiring, who be-
comes Mrs. R. w. Thompson this
evening. Fifteen invited guests
were present, and one of them has
assured the writer that they had a
jolly time until the good byes were
said.
The decorations introduced pink
and white hearts with occasional
cupids, arranged so as to create
very pretty effect in the rooms pre-
pared for the gathering. Refresh
ments were served on the lawn, the
abundant shade and dainty repast
being most acceptable to the COM
pany. When the time arrived for
displaying the contents of the var
ious parcels, lot of pretty things
in China, silk and fine linen were
disclosed, making a tempting bride
for the maidens present to be 1T"
at a similar function some other
summer day.
+ Tonight at the Christian church
Miss Theiring becomes the bride of
R. w. Thompson, now a citizen of
Flaxton, N. D., but in his earlier
years a resident of this county. Mr..
Thompson is to be congratulated on
making a conquest of lady who
has demonstrated her worth and
efficiency in several years of capa-
BILE service in our city schools as
we'll as in the circle of her own
home. That she may long continue
to minister to the happiness Of those
about her, and find the truest hap
piness in such service, is the sincere
hope Of all of her Redwood Falls
friends.

CITY SUED on SIDEWALK LIEN.
Is Made Defendant in Connection with
Mortgage Foreclosure.

The city of Redwood Falls has
been made one of the plaintiffs in
mortgage foreclosure proceedings
filed the first of this week in Clerk
Warmers Office. The action is
brought by Mrs. Nellie Hawley of
Rochester, through her attorneys,
Fraser and Fraser of that city, the
suit being to foreclose the interest
of Mrs. Hawley in the Mill street
property of DR.. VIM. Corpron, the
principal defendant. The occasion
for making the city a joint defend
ant is the fact that the city has
sidewalk lien against the property
amounting to S122.85. which the
plaintiffs attorneys want to have
adjudged as void and unlawful, and
secondary to the claim of the mort
gagor. AS the notice filed in the
clerks Office does not state the
grounds of their claim, the object
of the attorneys in making the claim
is not clear to the lay mind. City
Attorney Dolliff will undoubtedly
file an answer, and at this writing
does not entertain the idea that the
contention of the mortgagor regard
ing the lien will be sustained by any
court.

Redwood Falls as Viewed by One
of Its Journalistic Sons
in Law.
"fias Improved in Appearance Won
derfuIly in the Last Two !,
Years."
Mankato Free Press.

Mankato Free Press.
Redwood Falls has improved in
appearance wonderfully in the last
two years. Several new and mod
ern store buildings have been put
up, and the business section looks
prosperous. Among the new build
ings is Christian church, which is
a pretentious structure, with kind
of Grecian style of architecture,
and having large seating capacity.
1t is intended to use this for lectures
and other similar entertainments,
for it has one of the largest audi
forums in the city, and is we'll ven
tilated and lighted by numerous in
candescents about the ceiling.
THE residence streets look neat.
A large amount of curb and gutter
work has been done, and almost all
of the sidewalks are of cement. A
Minneapolis firm has a plant in the
city that manufactures an excellent
quality Of blocks, but many of the
walks have been laid by Mankato
contractors. The crossings are most
ly Of cement, with rounded edges,
and as rule are clean. The other
crossings are of granite blocks set
on edge, and rounded, and are easy
to drive across. but are not as free
from mud when the weather is wet.
Some sewer work is being laid
this year, by the day. The city has
{ had a sewer system for some years,
and has fine supply of mineral
Z spring water, under pressure from
large tank, as the prairie towns
generally do.
Frank Lobdell, formerly of this
city. has one Of the principal meat
markets, and is one of the progress
sive business men. He states that
the business men clean their cutters
and sweep the debris into piles
which the city collects. In this way
the business streets have neat ap-
pearance. He and others were at
work at this when seen.
Redwood Falls has two good
papers, The GAZETTE and Reveille,
owned and edited respectively by
Messrs. Aiken and Peterson. Both
have neat offices and good plants,
and are credit in every way to the
city. They should be well support
ed by the merchants and other resi-
dents.
Redwood Falls is settled by a
very hospitable class of people, and

MAIDEN, MASS, NOT IN IT.
Telegraph Dispatches Make a Big Fuss
Over a Fake Performance.

Back in Massachusetts they are
making good deal Of fuss over the
fact that Rev. John Newberry of
Maiden has donned overalls and is
leading some of the members of his
flock in painting his church. Before
tackling the job the reverend gentle
man made grandstand demonstra-
ton with short service on the side
walk, while his wife served lemonade
for the refreshment of the toilers
and the other women of the church
sang hymns for the delectation of
the paint-slingers. They do things
differently in Redwood Falls. Here
a plain sky-agent has been working
nearly two years at building a church
from the first sketch for the archi-
tect to the laying out and excavating
for the basement, the mixing and
moulding the concrete, laying it in
the wall, and the thousand different
things that have entered into the
rearing and completion of the finest
church edifice in western Minnesota.
The finishing touches have not all
been put on, but the reverend build
er may be seen at most any hour of
the day in overalls and ancient straw
hat, with single helper, completing
the work on the cornices and other
exterior finish. And there is no
brass band or frappe serving in con-
nection either. Just plain everyday
work and lots of it, instead of the
little spasm at Maiden that's herald
ed all over the United States as
something remarkable. Those Bos-
ton people had better come West if
they want to see Ezra down to date.

WANDA MAN ARRESTED.

George w. Dubois, formerly agent
for ]. H. Queal Lumber company at
Wanda, but lately in the employ of
the street railway company Of Min
neapolis as motorman. was arrested
in that city last Saturday, charged
with embezzlement of $1,000, says
the Wabasso Standard. The arrest
was made at the instance of the
Fidelity & Deposit Co. of Maryland.
/ Dubois has been the agent at
Wanda for the Queal company for
nearly six years and was considered
good man. His crooked work was
discovered by the company's audi
tor, E. C. Barton Of this place about
four months ago, and was found to
have covered a period of several
years.
+ Upon learning that everything
was not right at the Wanda Office,
Mr.. Barton began a thorough in
vestigation which resulted in the
discovery Of the large shortage and
at the same time he notified his COM
pany and then notified the bond
company. They sent man to Wan
da to investigate but they did not
order that an arrest be made at that
time because, it is said they hoped
that Dubois might be able to make
up the shortage, but this he seemed
unable to do. His plan seems to
have been to collect from debtors
and fail to give credit on the books
f to the party paying and also fail to
remit to the company the amounts
collected, and before these amounts
got so old as to receive the attention
of the auditor he would collect 9TH
ers and credit those not RENTED.
Dubois is married and has three
children.
AS we go to press we learn that
Dubois had a preliminary hearing at
Sanborn before Justice Posi- and
that the case was dismissed on tech
nicality.

as a rule they take pride in their
home surroundings. Neatly kept
up residences, with we'll kept lawn,
flowers and shrubs testify to a re-
finement that is pleasing to note.
The public library is well patronized,
there are several large churches and
only three saloons.
Peter Lloyd has big farm close
to Redwood Falls. He bought it as
wild land about seventeen years ago.
at about $40 an acre.. and has had
it cropped ever since, and now the
land is worth $50 an acre or more.
Redwood Falls is a candidate for
the location of the girls training
school, and as that part Of the state
has no state institution it has strong
hopes Of winning. Marshall is sup
porting Redwood Falls. There are
some ideal sites for the'school close
to the city, where the scenery is I'M
surpassed. If the school is located
there, it can be readily reached by
rail from any part of the state, and
the influences will be of the best.
"The trip between Redwood Falls
and Sleepy Eye at this time of the
year is interesting mainly on ac-
count of the view Of the Ycrops.
These look about as good as they
ever did at this time of the year.
The barley and rye harvest is out of
the way, oats is being cut. and the
wheat crop will be ready for the
harvest next week, with favorable
weather. Corn is headed and tas-
seled out, ana with frost holding off
as late as it did the past two years
there will be fine crop. No serious
damage from rust is reported any
where.
The western part of the state is
soaked with water. The sloughs are
all full, the springs are running
large streams, and the lakes are
high. Sportsmen will be interested
to know that every body of water
from half an acre up is teeming
with wild fowl. Along the railroad
track mud hens are to be seen in
every wet place, but further back it
is said that ducks are just about as
thick. Nobody seems to know much
about the prairie chicken crop. For
the last few years this has not
amounted to much. and it is sup
posed that it will be fully as good
this year as the past two or three
years."
