Locates Here.

For some time it has been rumored
among musical enthusiasts that Miss
Ethel Reed would locate in Redwood
Falls as teacher of piano. but not
until last week was it an assured
fact. The lady arrived from Mime
apolis on last Tuesdays train, where
she has been studying under Prof.
Crosse, who is well known to all
who read of musical doings in the
twin cities.
Miss Reed has long been his pupil
and she is, no doubt, competent
musician, as Mr.. Crosse is known as
a very exacting and thorough master,
whose pupils are among the leading
musicians of the Northwest. Miss
Reed already has a good class and
her studio will no doubt be largely
patronized, as our citizens are moi
slow to avail themselves of such al
excellent opportunity. We extend
| to the new conner our bestswishes il
her new field Of labor.

REDWOOD FALLS
PRODUCE co.
Company Formed by Redwood
Falls Merchants to Inn
prove Market.
Cold Storage Building Leased
and Otto Melges APP
pointed MANAGER.

The organization of the Redwood
Falls Produce Company was complet-
ed last Monday evening. and its fu-
ture success means much for the
business of the city and It's reputa-
ton as good market town. Wher-
ever the produce business has been
fully organized and carefully man
aged, as in our neighboring towns
of Fairfax and Sleepy Eye, it has
proved a benefit to town and coun-
try alike.
The organization starts out with a
good cold storage building already
provided, j. H. Melges, the owner,
being one of the stockholders of the
company, and with the active COOP
Grafton of four of the leading mer-
camille firms of the city-Francois &
Schmahl, Philbrickss& Co., Aune &
Thune, Kuenzli & Luscher-with
the expectation that allaofsthe bust
ness men of the city will help in
making market conditions here even
better than they havesbeenshitherto.
1t is too early%%to outline the full
program of the Produce Company
further than to say that its primary
purpose is to be ina position to take
care of and paylthe highest market
prices for such perishable country
produce as eggs, poultry, fruits anc
vegetables. butter, cream, ETC.
though it is not expected that there
will be surplus of dairy products
for some time to come to ssbe handled
on large scale.

The Brown County Journal says
that the plan of the Brown Redwood
county Y. M. C. A. organization is
to give it's members something to
do and as a result of this activity,
pleasure as we'll as profit is enjoyed
by those participating. During the
past several weeks numbers of New
Ulm residents, residing on State and
other streets. have been surprised
to observe number of young men
taking morning run. Some fifteen
of the local Y. NJ. C. A organization
have come to the conclusion that a
morning run before breakfast is
beneficial, and acting on these die
tates congregate at the Indian monu-
ment. at the intersection of Center
and State streets and start on a
jaunt to the race track. They COM
plete the circuit in about half an
hour. returning in time for break
fast. The six o'clock whistle is the
gong by which the runners arise.
Another feature will be the organ
ization of base ball team in the
near future. A movement is or
foot at the present time looking tt
this end, and a series of twelve
games will be scheduled with neigh
boring Y. M. G. A. teams, including
Sleepy Eye. Springfield, Redwood

A BugIe Cali To Action.

The White Ribboners and their
friends met at the Methodist church
last Saturday and listened to an in
spring address from their state
president, Mrs. Bessie Scovell. She
said, we have been sowing temper
ance seed, many years; we are now
beginning to reap the fruit. Yet
this is not a time for resting, but
for renewed and increased effort
along all lines of temperance work.
Vested interests in the liquor traffic
will impel, and are now carrying
on a determined opposition. They
are scattering their literature on all
fields: we too must be equally liberal
with the temperance leaflets. We
must give more than ever we have,
and sacrifice and deny ourselves for
the cause.
Minnesota is certainly going dry;
yet we will make an active campaign
for the general election. Also this
is the time for you to commence a
city campaign. to bear fruit, when
the saloons are voted out Of Red
wood Falls next January. Plan for
it, expect, above all, pray for it.
Pray also for the poor unfortunate
victim of drink.
Mrs. Scovell also emphasized the
advantage and necessity of gooc

Rural Carriers Trouble.

Echo Enterprise.
Fred. Holste, carrier on route No.
2. met with a somewhat sensational
experience last Monday ewhile driv-
ing over his route.
1t seems that when he.ssreached
the J. w. Barber place, directly
south of here, a short distance could
be gained by driving across the big
slough at that point. Now Fred.
had evidently given no thought to
the subject of beautiful spring; he
claims to have not even seen a
spring poem published, SO when he
arrived at the slough the wild fowl
sporting in the shallow waters did
not serve to warn him as to the
unsafe condition of the ice. Boldly
he ventured out upon the ice and
proceeded a short distance, then
came crash and horses, buggy and
all dropped to the bottom of the
slough and into five feet of very
cold water. Mr.. Barber at once
came to the rescue, the horses were
pulled out but not until one of them
was nearly drowned. The mail was
saved, unchanged, but Fred S mai
wagon still reposes at the bottom Of
the slough where it will probably re
main until gentle south winds mel
away the cold, cold ice and makes
wading in water much pleasantel
pastime than it was on Monday
March 23d.

you want it. You can shut it off

William RuCker.

News was received here last week
of the death of William Rucker, who
grew up in the town of Swedes For
est and removed to Belview, last
year. Mr.. Rucker died last Tuesday
at his Belview home. in the prime OF
his years, being less than As years
old. He was born in Olmstead
county, this state, in 1863, and came
to Swedes Forest with his parents
eight years later. After acquiring
a thorough knowledge of veterinary
science few years ago, he built up
a good practice, and established a
home at Belview less than year ago,
where he lived with his mother and
sister. AS an almost lifelong read
err of The Gazette, Mr.. Rucker has
been a regular and pleasant annual
visitor at this office, and always left
behind him the impression that ne
was kindly as we'll as intelligent
Young man. The news of his death
is cause for regret for many others
besides his immediate family. He
was a member of Barto lodge Of
Masons at Echo, and a delegation
from the lodge oficiated as pal
bearers. The funeral was held from
the Congregational church at Bel
view, Revs. I.Rabe of Arlington an
Steiner of Echo officiating.
