wood and Morgan. There was a
guarantee of six per cent 'on the
preferred stock which made it a
splendid investment; that they pre-
ferred to place the stock in and
about Redwood Falls and have the
business men on the board Of direc-
tors and interested in the prosperity
Of the company. After they had
given the opportunity they would
then place the stock elsewhere. Mr..
Wherland was quizzed by several of
the business men present and gave
estimates of the cost of motors for
plants as compared to the gasoline
and steam power.
Mr.. Gold then gave one of his
characteristic talks full Of enthusi-
asm for the future of Redwood
Falls. He pointed out that the city
was now one of the best advertised
points in southwest Minnesota and
that within the past week several
new residents had come here with
the intention Of buying homes. He
said that Mr.. Burmeister was the
president of a rival bank but he had
always found him liberal and fair
minded competitor and heiwas more
than willing to lgive him a helping
hand in this new movement to build
up the city. Later in the evening
Mr.. Gold gave his dream as.s.to the
future of the city. AS some of.our
neighboring towns might declare it
a nightmare we will not specify
further than to say that as usual
Mr.. Gold carried the crowd with
him.
Andrew Stewart spoke for the
farmers. He said that they had
been hoping that someone would
come and develop the water power.
as it would benefit everyone tribu-
tary to Redwood Falls and pledged
himself to aid in making it go. His
comparison Of the rural phone which
was started by himself and a neigh
Dor and which had developed far
beyond their widest dream, as to
what might be possible with the
new company, riveted the attention
of the crowd.

Wednesday morning. The groom
was Mr.. William R. Robinson of

been school mates in their youth,
but had drifted apart, Mr.. Robinson

Citizens Heartily Endorse the Plans
for Developing Redwood
Water Power.
Encouraging Talk Heard, Founded
on Real Advantages and
Conditions.

A very interesting and fairly well
attended meeting of citizens was
held at the council. rooms in the Ii
brary building last Friday evening.
The meeting was called to order by
w. Fl. Gold, who explained that he
was not as yet interestediin the COM

about it and was willing to subscribe
when he had Investigated the mat
ter more fully. The meeting, he
said, had been called in order that
the incorporators might explain
what they proposed to do and their
method Of disposing of the stock.
Mr.. Gold paid glowing tribute to
A. G.. Burmeister as a progressive
and successful business man who
had come to Redwood Falls with a
small capital and was rated as hav-
ing a financial standing of from
$4,000 to 1000. He said that the
fact that Mr.. Burmeister was willing
to put his property in the new or
ganization at it's fair market value
and would be at the head of the
new concern had made him favor
ably inclined to the scheme. It
could not fail without great loss to

also, enough to furnish power fol-
scores of factories and other estab

Wife of Delhi Farmer Closed Herr Eyes
in Death Last Saturday.

Last week The Gazette noted the
return home of the two absent sons
of Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Brown of

lowed by the loss of their mother,
who was released from her long suf-
fering last Saturday morning. Mrs.
Brown has been afflicted with an in
durable malady for several years.
but has kept more or less active in
her home duties up to very recent
time. She has left good record
of Christian activity in the church
and w. C. T. U. organizations, as
we'll as in her home.
The funeral was held from the
M. E. churcd in this city Monday
afternoon, Rev. E. V. Dubois paying
an eloquent and sincere tribute to
Mrs. Browns consistent life as a
Christian wife and mother. The be-
reaved husband, two sons and
daughter Mabel constitute the sur
viving family, all of whom were
present.
Sarah Eta Whitney was born in
CORTLAND county, N. Y, in 1843,

BRYAN DINNER TO EDITORS.
Between Sixty and Seventy Enter
taIned at Lincoln.

Lincoln, Neb., Apr. 1.-Between sixty
and seventy Democratic editors Of Ne
braska were the guests Tuesday night
at an informal dinner rendered by Will
liam J. Bryan at the Lindell hotel.
The editors mainly were old friends
and acquaintances of Mr.. Bryan and
the function was in the nature Of a
family affair. Mr.. Bryan arrived from
Kansas City Tuesday evening and
went directly to the hotel, where the
Democratic State Editorial association
had been holding its annual meeting
during the day. He was the center Of
an enthusiastic group of admirers and
political friends from that time until
the dinner began. Mr.. Bryan let 1t be
known that his, talk following the din
ner was in no sense a set political
speech, but more to take counsel with
the men who had stood by him in the
past and were his present supporters.
Mr.. Bryan then made the request
that reporters and such persons as
were not Democratic and Populist edi-
tors depart, as his further talk was
not of public interest, and was intend
ed alone for the guild.
