Herb. Birum In Public Life.

The Gazette this,week received a
copy of the Glasgow Mont Val
ley Co. News. containing a number
of articles referring to Herb. Birum
who has developed into an influential
farmer politician out there and was
last summer chosen to go ITO Wash
ington with a monster petition fav-
oring government aid for an i'm
portant irrigation project for re-
claiming a large body of land in the
Milk river valley. Mr.. Birum has
well written communication in the
News, stating his views for opposing
a proposed scheme for tying the
proposed irrigation scheme to the
river and harbor bill. Mr.. Birum
thinks he might better stay at home
than go to Washington and advocate
a scheme that would not bear
thorough investigation. 1t looks as
though our former Redwood sprint
er is making a stand for a square
deal without any crooked politics in
it, and here's hoping he wins out.

Boy Lost and Found.

Quite a sensation was created for
little time Monday night on ac-
count of a small boy disappearing.
The fire bell was rung and a general
alarm sounded, and the youngster
was soon located. calmly sitting in
front of Gagnon's shoe shop. Dur
ing the absence of Mr.. and Mrs. Du-
Bols at Pipestone, their ten-year old
boy, who was being cared for at the
parsonage by couple of ladies, has
been placed under some restrictions
as to diet on account Of a tendency
to diabetes. With childish impulse
for getting his own way in the alb
sence of his parents he escaped from
the house and went to a restaurant

NEW COMPANY
INCORPORATES
Redwood Falls Electric Telephone
Company Files Articles of
Incorporation.

The Redwood Falls Electric Tele-
phone Co. is not going to be. but is.
After a preliminary meeting last
Thursday evening, the leading bust
ness men of the city got together on
the proposition that they would
finance the cost of putting in new
telephone system in this city pro-
vided that all of the citizens who
have. been urging the scheme would
get behind and sustain their action.
A meeting Friday night at the
council rooms seemed to settle all
doubts as to this proviso, and arti-
cles of incorporation were drawn up
the same day and have been for
warded to the secretary of state to
be filed in accordance with legal
requirements.
A partial canvass of the city re-
suited in placing $4,000 of stock with
about 100 subscribers the first of
the week. and this amount will be
increased when all phone users have
been seen, a bunch of business men
being ready to take all the surplus
stock after the canvass is made.
The shares are placed at $25, with
authorized capital at $4,000. The
articles of Incorporation and other
details will be ready for publication
by next week.

stoves that have been sold tributary
to Seaforth. We venture to say
that this is larger number of stoves
than have been sold by our hard
ware men for the past three years.
The price is $78. If local hard
ware man would ask any such price
for stove they would want to
bring him before Judge Evans and
have him examined as to his sanity.
How it is that a perfect stranger
can get S25 to $50 more for stove
than it is worth or more than local
hardware man we are unable to un-
derstand We believe that it must
be the salesman, but why should a
man with such ability fool away his
time selling stoves.

Former Redwood Falls Lady Died Last
Sunday, at Minneapolis.

"A telephone message was received
last Sunday morning from J. A
aSchmahl. stating that Mrs. w. R.
Caswell. formerly of this city, passed
away that morning. Previous tt
this, Mrs. G. Fred Thompson hac
been informed by letter that Mrs
Caswell had been taken to a hospi.
tai the Sunday previous to her
death, and was afterwards operated
upon for an internal cancer. The
operation had been apparently sue
'cessful, the surgeons giving hope
that Mrs. Caswell might enjoy a
short period of comparative health,
though not expecting a permanent
recovery. The news of Sunday
showed that the hope was not well
founded.
The funeral was held at Minneap-
oils yesterday, and the BODY was
lad to rest. in one of the cemeteries
of that city.
Mrs. Caswell is remembered here
as woman of kindly traits, active
an church and lodge circles, being a
communicate of the Church of the
Holy Communion and a member of
the Eastern Star order. She is sur
vlved by her husband and an only
daughter, Mrs. Maud Lentz, both
OF whom reside in Minneapolis.
LSince the above was put in type.
we have received from Minneapo-
lis friend the following additional
particulars:
Deceased began to fail in health
about year ago, her trouble having
been diagnosed as one of a cancer
Gus nature. She began to grow
rapidly worse about Thanksgiving
time and though everything which
modern medical and surgical science
could suggest was done for her it
was of no avail against this dread
malady. A funeral service was held
Tuesday afternoon at the family
residence, 1425 Chicago avenue, and
the interment was in Lakewood Gem
etery. Among the pail bearers
were Hon. j. A. Schmahl, George
Welsh and w. M. Todd.
Mrs. Caswell was So years old on
her last birthday. With her hus-
band she left Redwood about four
years ago for Minneapolis, where
the latter had accepted an appoint
ment IN the state grain inspection
service. They resided with Mr.. and
Mrs. Lentz. the latter of whom was

increase the gross earnings tax on
railroads to six per cent has been in
troduced by Representative Spooner
and to five per cent by Representa-
tive Robertson Of Argyle.
The lobbyists of the "Interna-
tional" Harvester Co. are already
getting in their work against the
Spooner bill establishing a new
states prison. This bill provides
for new prison to be built at a
cost not to exceed S3,O0O,OO0, and
certificates of Indebtedness bearing
three per cent interest are to be
issued by the board of control as the
money is needed for the work. Now
the International is not interested
IN the plan or cost of new prison
but they see great danger to the
state in the section of the bill which
provides for building the prison
from profits accruing from the man.
ufacture of Irvine and farm machin-
cry. Mr.. Spooner, who lives at
Morris. is an attorney and had a
leading part in the organization Of
the international in a professional
way. He says the state can manu-
facture and sell to the farmers for
SIS as good a binder as the trust
puts out for $140 and pay for the
prison out of the profits. When the
trust was organized the cost Of MAX
ing a binder was a little less than
$40. The cost of making them by
the state, says Mr.. Spooner, should
be about the same now, for the saw
ing of manufacture by prison labor
would easily make up for the ad-
vanced price of material. In a re-
cent issue of the trust organ pub
lished at Chicago Mr.. Spooner was
hauled over the Goals in great fash
ion and the people of Minnesota
were warned to beware of his schem-
ing. And warning from source

on the farmers of the state will no

gives the following valuable, though
simple and harmless, prescription, which
any one can easily prepare at home:
Fluid Extract DandehOn, One-haif
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparlla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and
take teaspoOnful after each meal and
at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can be
obtained from any good prescription
pharmacy at small cost, and, being OF
vegetable extraction, are harmless to
take
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg
ularly for a few days, is said to over
come almost any case OF rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, if any, diminish
with each dose, until permanent results
are obtained, and without iDjuring the
stomach. While there are many so
called rheumatism remedies, patent medi-
cines, ETC., some OF which do give relief,
few really give permanent results, and
the above will, no doubt, be greatly ap-
preciated by many sufferers here at this
time
Inquiry at the drug stores OF this

that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
