Redwood Pioneers in Carlton County.

While Attorney Howard and c. V.
Everett were attending a term of
court in Carlton county they met
several former former Redwood
county citizens in that country.
George Shelton was attending the
term as juryman and was very en-
thusiastic in his praises of his new
home. He has a farm partly in the
limits of Moose Lake on the shore of
beautiful little lake and says he
has refused $50 per acre for it. Han
sen, formerly of Lamberton, is a
neighbor and is also we'll pleased
with his new home. A Mr.. Hubbard
who formerly lived around and in
Redwood Falls, has the leading hotel
at Carlton and is prospecting nicely.
Mr.. Everett had to attend to prove
that he served a summons something
over ten years ago on Remanus John
son who lives now at Barnum.

Tracy Man Seem Things.

Some unkind fairy gave the editor
of the Tracy Herald twist in his
mental processes, and he is never
really enjoying himself so we'll as
when jumping onto churches and
evangelists. Announcing the union
revival meetings here he takes oc-
casion to state that three clergyman
of this city, one Catholic and two
Protestant have recently been visit
ed with retribution. Zone of them
lost his voice, another his appendix
or such organ and the third lost his
stand-in with his flock" and the To-
cal press has ascribed these troubles
to over-work, etc., when the true
explanation was "too much chicken
pie, bottle beer and under work. :"
The neighborly criticism concludes:
Redwood Falls ought to have her
revival sprees every three months,
instead of every six. The fool-kill-
ing process would in that way sooner
weed out the untitled" It is to
laugh that we print the unfettered
comments of our esteemed contem-
porary.

Lepers Are Cared For.

The Presbyterian ladies met at the
home of Mrs. C. D. Thompson last
Wednesday afternoon, the occasion
being the October meeting Of the
missionary society. Mrs. Thompson
was assisted by Mrs. F. J. Barnes in
entertaining. The president, Mrs.
Robert Stewart, was present with
her two little daughters, the least
one three months old, being the
center of attraction. Mrs. C. G..
Gibson led the service of prayer and
Scripture reading. The main fea-
tuIe of the program was an excel
lent paper on the mission work for
the lepers in various parts of the
world, read by Mrs. Ashford. Mrs.
Schleuder gave some interesting
news concerning the work among
the Mormons and in Persia. The
closing number was a spicy article,
entitled "The Brown Towel" read
by Miss Dorothy Dornberg.
After the enjoyable program was
finished delicious luncheon of hot
creamed potatoes pickles, sandwiches
coffee and cake was served by the
hostesses.

Progress on Water Power Development.

r. J. Whirland, engineer in charge
OF the water-power project for
which the council granted franchise
rights last week, is this week at
work in the cities making detailed
perspective drawings of the proposed
power development and prospectus
describing the improvements in de-
tail, SO as to work up the financial
end OF the enterprise pending the
opening of another season and the
prosecution of actual work. Mr..
Burmeister, to whom the franchise
runs, assures us that he will proceed
with the work to comply with the
spirit of the franchise regardless of
stock subscriptions, though the full
development of the power may have
to await the addition of larger cap
ital, as it is a large undertaking and
will ultimately require large expen-
ditures. We have faith that the
coming season will see things taking
a turn in the way Of developing the
full value of our water power.

GOVERNOR JOHNSON TONIGHT.
Will Arrive on the 4:40 North Western
Train.

Governor Johnson, whose classic
lineaments will be found on the
third page of this issue, is expected
to arrive in this city on the 4:40
train and excursion over the North
western. While the weather las
gone Democratic the past week, we
expect sunshine today in honor of
the city's guest, whom we advise all
good citizens to hear who can. AS
the highest officer of the state and
its first citizen there is no reason
why we should not take off our hats
to Governor John. The only con-
tention we haye with our Democrat
ic citizens is protest that they
should veto the Governors expressed
wish to retire at the end of his Sec
ond term, and we have been doing
our best to insure such a vacation
for him, and all good Republicans
should do no less, next Tuesday. To-
day we think John johnson been
pretty good fellow, both as news
paper man, governor and popular
orator.

A Prohibition Protest.

Correspondence of The Gazette.
Since you have kindly promised to
allow me space in your paper, I will
try to answer few points in one of
your last weeks editorials.
The first point I.wish to make is
that no candidate who represents a
political party has any right ito act
independent of the party he repre-
SentS.
The second point is, that no mat
ter how long man has voted GER
tain ticket. when he ceases to vote
that ticket he ceases to be loyal to
the same.
Third, a party which can stand the
test of forty years without the re-
wards of Office, has principles back
of it which are not making an empty
showing.
Fourth. if the state and national
candidates of the party withdraw
from the field, the Prohibitionists of
Redwood county will have no oppor-
tunity to express themselves.
The fifth and last point is, that the
nation is no more ready for prohi-
bition than the state or county, but
we trust there-will be no deserters
on the national and state tickets, al
so that loyal prohibitionistsGwill ex-
press themselves to the extent Of
their opportunity.
Yours for God, home and all the
world, A. B. w.

Persons who like to be entertained
in a manner befitting their taste and
temperament will undoubtedly en-
joy the well known musical farce
"The Two Johns" which will be Of

The comedy is said to be one of the
best and withal humorous pieces

coarse and horse-play is conspicuous
by its absence. The comedy, while
sidesplitting, is clean and wholesome,
and the melody of the tuneful, jung
ling, whistley sort that at once APP
peals to everybody. The company
has many we'll known favorites. Band
and orchestra. Street parade at
noon, Saturday, Oct. 31st.

The Constitutional Amendments.

The Gazette believes that nothing
but good can come from the agita-
ton over the tax amendments. Last
week Judge Laudon made a strong
plea for the passage of the tax
amendment and in this issue James
Arnold again jumps onto all of the
amendments with his characteristic
impetuosity. Doctors differ, but
when we are sick we usually take
the medicine of some of them just
the same. We believe that the fol-
lowing paragraph from a circular
issued by the Minnesota Tax League
sums up the situation about right:
'Minnesota's system of taxation,
devised in the infancy of the state,
has broken down completely. In
stead of uniformity we have dozen
different methods of guessing at the
basis of taxation. We tax some
sorts of property twice over and
others not at all. We impose griev-
Gus burdens on enterprise, place
penalties on thrift and let waste run
riot. We find ourselves hemmed in
by code of laws impossible to fol-
low and, when we try to correct
their plain injustice, we discover
that we are fettered by an infexible
cons .itution requiring us to do the
inequitable and impossible"

his inspections he believed that
Company L would be entitled to

Died Last July.

VIM. Bell, who owned the farm
southwest of this city which was
later occupied by Geo. Crooks and
family, has been dead since the 18th
of last July, according to informa-
ton received by letter here last
week. Mr.. Bell was quite an enthus-
last in fruit growing, and largely
for that reason removed to Everett,
Wash, a number of years ago where
he died. Aside from the fact that
his widow still lives there, The Ga
zette has no details.

The M. E. church was put to use
last evening for the first time since
the fire of August %, making the
time spent in repairs and re-decorat-
ing about sixty days. The interior
of the church is consequently all
fresh and new, and our home work
men have no reason to be ashamed
of the general effect of their labors.
There was rousing union prayer
meeting last evening, with every
indication that the congregation in
tends to do business for the next two
or three weeks, and to ask their
neighbors and every we'll disposed
wayfarer to join in the housewarm-
ing which is going on there nightly
from tomorrow night till the har-
vest season is past.
Tomorrow night the time will be
given to organizing a chorus choir
and preparatory work, under the
direction of Rev. and Mrs. George,
Evangelist Mahood preaching his
opening sermon the following night.
While the church and Sunday-school
room will seat a large congregation
it will be advisable for all attending
the opening meeting Friday night to
come early to get good seats.

Peavey & Ward Won Out.

Attorney Howard and the many
friends of Peavy & Ward were
pleased to get the ruling Of Judge
Powers, denying the motion for new
trial in the case of the boys VS..
Greer & Jacobson. The case was
tried last February at Olivia, Mr..
Howard and Daley & Barnard rep
resenting the plaintiffs and Senator
Reike and Mr.. Hayden of Madison
appearing for defendants. The ac-
ton was for compensation for work
done by the plaintiffs in securing
purchasers for Canadian lands on a
wholesale plan. The descendants
had represented that they thad mil
lions of acres Of choice lands for sale
on wholesale terms and the plaintiffs
were induced to solicit for several
months and take a large party to
Winnipeg, when they found that the
defendants had never had such lands
at all. The jury gave verdict Of
$780,, which has been before Judge
Powers for several months on mo-
ton for new trial. There has
been quite general interest taken
in the case locally as some Of the
most prominent men of this place
were among the prospective buyers
and resented the way they had been
treated by the defendants.

VANSANT'S WELCOME
Old War Veteran Gets Warm ReCep-
lion in This City

Last Friday evening was the first
of succession of drizzling, muddy
nights that we have been favored
with the past week, and those in
clined to be pessimistic had given it
out that there would be very little
doing at the court house meeting
advertised for that evening. When
late corners entered the hall and
found great difficulty in finding a
single vacant seat, they naturally
concluded that General Apathy had
made hasty retreat sometime be-
fore the hour of meeting. And
they were rewarded by a rafting
good address and a lively session for
their trouble in getting through the
mud to the seat of war.
Even Capt. VanSant. who was
given a good warming up for the
first heat by President Howard of
the Republican league, admitted that
he had started for the hall with seri-
Gus misgivings as to addressing a
large number of vacant chairs after
his arrival at the hall, and owned up
to being astonished at the turnout to
hear so poor speaker as he knew
himself to be. But the doughty cap
tain soon indicated the promise of
the chairman and supplied the real
thing in sunshine and good cheer fer
the plucky Republicans who had
braved the elements to hear him.
He was at his best in talking about
his friend Jacobson, with whom he
had been more or less intimately as
ISOLATED for more than twenty years,
both officially and personally. He
managed to make his audience look
upon Jacobson, with all his admitted
plainness of speech and feature, as
an able as we'll as a fearless and
truthful advocate of the rights Of
the people. The speaker told in de-
tail the story Of Mr.. Jacobson's win
ming fight almost single handed for
the reforms in railroad land elevator
abuses which prevailed at the outset
of the career of the man from Lac
qui Parle county. The story has
been told repeatedly during the
campaign, but probably never better
than by the man who was associated
first with Jacobson on the floor of
the House, was afterwards speaker
of that body while jacobson was
chairman of the most important
committee, and finally as Governor
appointed his old friend on the
board of control, and has found him
faithful and untiring in all these
positions.
The speaker put in enough of
story and humor to make up for
lack of oratorical graces, and that
the audience was pleased and en-
thusiastic one was made evident by
the continuous applause during the
meeting.
After the conclusion of Capt. Van
SAINTS address, Mr.. Howard intro
duced the "poet lariat' of the Dutch
club, Joseph Tyson, who recited the
following poem:
The political caldron is beginning to bolt
Hurrah for Jake jacobson, we tillers or soil.
He is the man for the governors chair
Always honest, upright and square.
He has fought for our rights whenever ne
could;

The Salvation Army, at its meeting
tonight, will present very interest
ing program, outside of the regular
prayer service. Adjutant Award of
Sacramento will give a talk on the

BORAX Smith
CLAIMS Big BILL

NEW YORK. Jan. 2.-Last sum-
mer Louis Pacquet, waiter in New
York's fashionable Cafe Martin,
found a $1,000 bill on the floor there
and notified the proprietor, who had
the fact published. Since then many
claimants have applied for the money
but none of them correctly fixed the
date on which the bill was dropped,
and the waiter, who was to get the
bill at the end of one year if the own
er did not appear, has been regard
ing it as practically his.
Now. however, a claim has been
presented on behalf of F. NJ. Smith
of Oakland, Cal, the millionaire who
is known as "Borax" Smith, by Chris
tian Zabriskie, New York manager
of the Pacific Coast Borax Company,
of which Smith is the head. Zabris-
kie when interviewed tonight, would
not give the name of the Oakland
man for whom he is acting, but he
described Smith perwectly, saying:
''He is one of the wealthiest men in
California, but spends a great deal
of his time here. He owns a fine
place on Long Island, is a member
of the New York Yacht Club and is
very much interested in automobiling
INCORPORATING and other out of door
sports.
Smith recently noticed a newspa-
per reference to the lost bill and re.
membered that while here last sum.
mer, when he gave several dinner
parties at Martins, he dropped 8
$1,000 bill somewhere.
my friend" said Zabriskie, ''re
members the loss perfectly because
he happened to have only one $1,000
bill in his pocketbook at that time
along with several $500 bills. Ht
ordinarily carries three or four $1,000
bills with him, so that If he sees any
: thing he fancies in the way of al
automobile or boat or a piece o
real estate, he can close a bargain
have known him to carry $4,000
in his pocket as if it were so mucl
loose change"

ANOTHER new
BILL At BUTLER

The Butler theater will have anoth-
er new bill tonight, which it is said,
will in some particulars surpass that
which has just closed. If it does, it
will be going some, but there are a
number of attractive titles to the
moving pictures which give promise.
Among the principal pictures will be
1.-The Alps Through a Telescope, >
Cinderella" the beautiful little fairy
tale of our youth; "A Paper Fac
tory" showing every stage in the
manufacture of paper, from the wood
to the sheet; 'The Baby's First Out
ing" and Making Pottery in Japan. =
There are two illustrated songs, one
of which, THE Red Wing" is said to
be very good.
The management of the Butler il
now the joyous possessor of a gas
machine and plant, so that they are
no longer beholden to the electric
company, and there will be no chance
of the house closing for the night, i.
consequence of the shutting down o

Eighty stamps of the big mill of

years. This would be only a part
of the immense output that is prom
