in Saltwater Prison Mirror: would
rather be an American man who
pawns his coat for whiskey than to
be an American girl who puts her
honor and self respect in hook for a
soiled title.
Vesta Censor: The Tracy Herald
man handed Redwood Falls citizens
a nice bunch Of roses last week, be-
cause of their half page revival
meeting advertisements. Nothing
like advertisements to attract atten-
ton, and if is is good for one kind
of business. why not for another?
New Ulm Journal: The annual
meeting of the Redwood County
Rural Telephone company will be
held on March 4th. 1t is anticipated
that a number of changes will be
made in the modus operandi Of that
company with regard to its agree
ment with the Minnesota Central

C. A. Hagberg, for many years a
prominent lawyer and citizen of
New Ulm, passed to his final rest
Saturday afternoon, says the New
Ulm Review. A cancerous growth
in the throat had caused him intense
suffering for weeks, but when he
came to die it was. peacefully and
apparently without pain. He was
So years of age.
Morgan Messenger: August Ev-
ert received the sad intelligence
Tuesday that his mother had passed
away at Everett, WASH, Sunday.
August will leave today for ST..
Paul, from which place he will &C
company the remains to North Red
wood, where the funeral will be
held Saturday. The deceased was
about 76 years of age and was form
erly resident of Renville county.
Lamberton Star: A County Seat
Committee" has been appointed to
work to have the county seat moved
from Redwood Falls to Wabasso.
We fear that it will be many moons
before the voters of the county will
decide to make the change. The
present court house at the Falls is
IN too good shape to be permitted to
stand idle. And to be frank in the
matter, we believe the south side
of the county would be against NOV
ing the county seat from where it
now is.
Springfield Advance: On Wednes-
day last Mike Scheuniman of Delton
township, committed suicide by
hanging himself. Deceased for years
had been a heavy drinker, and on
the day of the suicide he came home
in an intoxicated state and began to
abuse his family, whom he chased
out of the house. In the evening
his miserable existence must have
caused him to become respondent
and he went into bedroom and
shot himself in the forehead with a
small calibre rifle. Evidently fail
ing to accomplish the desired result
with the gun he went out to the
barn and hung himself. He was
about As years old.
Sanborn Sentinel: 1t is reported
that on and after March LIST, the
agents at all stations on the Mar
shall-Evan branch, except Wabasso,
will have no more telegraphing to
do, and that they will be paid at the
fiat rate of $40 per month; also that
Wanda and Seaforth will come un-
der that class. The nine-hour law
goes into effect on March 4th and
the R. R. company say they will
need all the telegraphers they can
get by putting the above plan into
operation on all their branch lines
and transferring their operators to
points where there is more tele.
graphic business. tits good thing
that those towns can communicate
with the outside world by means OF
the telephone. or they would have
to depend upon letter communica.
