E. o. Otterson and son, Ormond,

by Mrs. Ellis and the girls.
Judging by the Bird Island Union
the Why Women Sin company has
been all but "done to death by SLAM
d'rous tongues. The Union editor
thinks that the performance is a
fairly good one, but that the name
and some of the unfriendly newspa-
per critics along the line have pref
ty nearly put the troupe out Of bust
ness. The name Of the play is very
poor one to trayel this country with
and would make stronger appeal
to mining or lumber town audience.
Candy News: Chief Tuttle of the
Belview Independent will be private
secretary to the lieutenant governor
if Sam Gordon gets the job. accord
ing to his evasive and diplomatic re-
ply to direct question by the editor
of the News, who had doubted the
assertion to that effect by the Orion
Vile Herald-Star recently. With
Chief Tuttle at the head of his press
bureau Sam will be governor in
three years and succeed Senator
Clapp at the end Of his next term

surveys.
Mark Twain Clemens. the mimi
table chief of living American hum
orists, had a sad Christmas this year.
Two days before Christmas his
daughter Jean, who was also secre-
tary and amenuensis, was found
dead ina bathtub, having apparently
been taken with an epileptic fit, to
which she was subject, and falling
in the water was unable to rescue
herself and was drowned. Mr..
Clemens is "a years old. and though
vigorous old man up to recent
date, is now so feeble that his physi-
clans have discouraged him from
attending his daughters funeral,
which was held last Sunday, at Ell
mira, N. Y.

ing further publicity to the reply Of
its esteemed contemporary to re-
quest to define its position on the
question of licensing the saloon.
The reply covers the whole ground
and the incident is closed. so far as
this paper is concerned. The Rev.
ellie says: eve believe that intOXi-
eating liquor has no place OH earth,
not even in medicine. We believe
that Redwood Falls would be better,
cleaner and more prosperous if booze
was banished from our midst, And
so far as our vote and influence goes
we will do our best to make it dry

Lamberton Star: Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Clague have sold their resi-
dence property on Fairview avenue
to Geo. R. Kluegel, and will spend
few weeks visiting relatives in the
east before taking up their abode in
Redwood Falls, where the senator
will open up law office, and they
will make their future home. Our
citizens regret exceedingly to see
this worthy couple move from the
city. Mr.. Clague is a wide-awake
gentleman who has been the fore

teen years. Mrs. Clague is a highly
accomplished woman. talented in
many ways and is admired for her
kind and charitable disposition. They
will both be greatly missed from our
city.
