base ball line. Don't fail to see
them. Admission Is cents. Grand

RenWIIe County Touched.

Two travelling swindlers worked
the country around Morton last
week. getting many subscribers to
the Daily Tribune, together with
monthly magazine (the regular rate
for the Tribune alone being 81 and
$6) at So for the combination. There
are always people credulous enough
to bite hook baited with an alleged
bargain, and now lot Of Renvllle
farmers have discovered that these
alleged agents did not represent the
Tribune at all. The Tribune people
are hot on the trail of their bogus
representatives and may bring them
to justice. But the people that bit
on their offer will probably get moth
ing more than the valuable exper-
fence.

Rural Out for Business.

Ed. GAZETTE. Believing that the
people of the County are interested
in any mutual concern that has for
its object the betterment of pub
lie improvement, we wish through
the columns of this paper to show
our attitude to the people, in regard
to the extension and construction of
new lines.
Do not get the idea that the
Redwood County Rural Telephone
Company is thing of the past, and
has ceased to strive in extending
and developing itself. We are
ambitious to become County Tele-
phone Co. in every sense of the term,
branching and extending our lines
to every resident in the county and
tributary country. The past two or
three wet years have been hindran-
ces in the construction of new lines,
but with the return of favorable
seasons we are determined to keep
pace with the country in this line
of improvement.
This Company is ready to build
new lines to any community where
the number of phones would war
rant such extension. There must
be ten or more phones on each line,
and about three phones to every
two miles. This Company being a
mutual one, each new line must be
paid for by the people to whom the
line is built to reach, and for this
purpose stock is sold at $4,000 per
share. The approximate cost of a
first class line, metallic circuit, is
about $500 per mile. Our rates are
$1.00 per month for stockholders,
and SIPS for non stockholders. If
any community wishing a telephone
line, will make such known to any
one of the directors or business man.
ager, we would be glad to take the
matter up with you.

Mrs. Mary f. Cur It's.

The long and painful illness oil
Mrs. Mary E. Curtis of this city
came to an end Sunday evening last,
when death kindly released her. As
many of our readers are aware, Mrs.
Curtis developed symptoms of an in
durable malady about a year ago,
and for many months she has await
ed her final victory over her trials,
with patience born Of an unfalter-
ing spiritual faith. She has been
tenderly ministered to during that
that time by her only daughter, as
sisted by a faithful nurse and at in
tervals by her mother, Mrs. Dennis
of St. Paul.
The funeral was held from the
family residence on Wyoming street
yesterday afternoon, Rev. R. F.
Chambers, her pastor, conducting
brief service, members of the
Presbyterian choir assisting with
appropriate music.
Mary Elizabeth Wilson was born
Feb. 10th. 1861, in Stockholm, St.
Lawrence county, N. Y. At Is she
came to St. Paul, this state, with
her parents, and in the autumn Of
1880 was united in marriage with
James Monroe Curtis. With her
husband and daughter she removed
to a farm near Wood Lake in 1888,
and three years latter removed to
this city, on account Of the failing

a few months after the removal.
Mrs. Curtis has been a member Of
the Presbyterian church of this city
since her arrival here, and her re-

SEVENTEEN WILL
BE GRADUATED
Only Two Boys Have Stayed
in This Glass to Claim
Their Reward
The Plucky Girls of Neighbor
Towns are Almost the
Whole Show.

Following the Junior reception
to the graduating class last Satur-
day evening, an account of which
will be found in another place, we
obtained list of the graduating
class of 1908, together with the out
line plan for the exercises connected
with graduation.
The baccalaureate sermon this
year will be heard at the Christian
church. Pastor Nicholson having ac-
cepted the invitation of the class to
preach to them on Sunday evening,
May oath. Undoubtedly the other
congregations of the city will join
as usual in making this union SER
vice.
The commencement exercises will
also be observed at the Christian
church. on the evening of Friday,
May 10Th, the full program to be
announced latter. The following is
the list of graduates:
Edgar Aiken Inez Marvin
Vean Baldwin Fife Mcdaniel
Edith Burmeister Delsie Phinney
Frank Evans Leila Rogers
Florence Garner Vesta Small
Olga Grabow Edna Stewart
Elizabeth Hannah Ella Weeks
Mabel Henderson Maud Whittet
Ella Lindeman
1t will be noticed that out of the
II members of the class, only four
members on the list can be claimed
as residents of the city, although
the valedictorian, Miss Maud Whit
tet, lives 50 near the city that we
are inclined to claim her as a Red
wood Falls girl in spite of her actual
residence in Delhi township. Miss
Edith Burmeister of this city is the
salutatorian. which helps some in
saving our local representation from
total eclipse.
The class statistics show that the
out-of-town graduates outnumber
the city pupils three to one, and it
has been demonstrated before that
the best material in our high school
IS apt to come to us in that way.
The school patrons welcome these
ambitious pupils from other towns
and expect much honor from their
future lives and achievements.
At the request Of the graduating
class, the board has authorized them
to sell tickets for seats at the church
on graduation night, to defray ne
cessary expenses of rent, programs,
etc.. any surplus to be turned into
the class treasury, for fund which
will ultimately be expended for the
benefit of the high school. The
price of tickets will be ten cents on
~. seats to be drawn the same as
for the lecture entertainments.

Wickersham Made Good.

Wickersham was greeted by a fine
audience last Friday night. at the
M. E. church. The lecturer COM
pletely captured his audience toward
the close of his talk on day-dreams.
The truth enforced was that the
dreams of childhood and youth are
not to be lightly considered by par
ents and older people, and that it is
a serious thing TO shatter these
dreams through lack of sympathy or
brutal and sordid Indifference. The
lecturers talk on the ideal relation
of parent and child is sure to do
good wherever the lecture is heard.

worthy of their steel wbsn they
make the attempt to pass their
bill through the present legislature
about to be convened.
In the calling of the session the
Governor has taken the weight of
the present controversy off of his
own shoulders and the people of
the state must acknowledge that
he has done the best thing possible
considering all things equally.
The action Of the legislature is nee
sssary il the troops are to remain
with in the state and the cry on all
sides has been that they remain.
1t is now up to the legislature
whether the will of the people
will be their decision or whether
the lives and property in the camp
of GoIdfield must be protected by
small force Of deputies.
The cost Of the extra session of
the Legislature is estimated at A.
bout $4,000 or $4,000. These
figures ars lased On the expenses
of the last regular session, which a.
mounted to $4,000.
1t is reported that Governor
Sparks will recommend that the
coming session pass = hill creating
another judicial district for Esmer-
aida county. For many months
past the court at Goldfield has been
swamped with criminal and civil
suits and at the present time there
is nearly hundred awaiting the

that the governor will suggest to the
