LOOKED LIKE RABIES.
Dog Runs AmuCk at North Redwood
and is Killed on Suspicion.

North Redwood was thrown into
some excitement last Sunday on ac-
count of the peculiar actions of a
dog which bit about every dog in
town before his career was cut short
by loaded shot gun. The dog in
question had been taken from this
city less than two weeks ago and
tied up by its owner. George Evarts
OF Flora. Sunday morning Mr.. Ey-
arts found that his dog had broken
his chain and escaped, and upon
tracing him to North Redwood, the
owner identified the dog that had
been killed as the one he had tied up
at his home the day before. Knowl-
edge of the affair was circulated in
this city Monday and all loose dogs
have been ordered tied up. 1t will
do no harm, at least, for every dog
owner to keep his animal tied up for
time, and it will certainly be proper
for all dogs not boasting Of an owner
to be rendered immune by the shot
gun method.

Four Good Terms Deserve Another.

At special meeting of the board
of education last Saturday evening,
Supt. w. J. Mosher was reelected,
after serving here continuously for
four years. Applications were on
file from a number of candidates for
this position as we'll as other subor-
dinate ones. Action on the other
appointments was deferred to the
next meeting. Supt. Mosher has
greatly increased the efficiency of
our nigh schools during his residence
here, by associating with him a
strong corps of trained instructors,
andtthe board agreed that there was
special need at this time of a tested
advisor in filling the vacancies in the
Sc ching body and continuing the
excellent reputation which Redwood
Falls graded and high school enjoys,
both at home and throughout the
state.

Last Spike on Coast Extension to be
Driven April 2.

The time has been set for the
driving of the last spike in the last
rail that will connect the Milwaukee
road, and incidentally the Fl. & D.
division of the same, with the Pacific
coast. The last rail is to be laid and
the last spike driven at Gold Creek,
Wash, April I'd, but regular through
train service will not commence un-
til July 1st.
Great preparations are being made
for the occasion and much enthusi-
asm is being worked up. The last
spike to be driven into the last rail
making the connection is to be a SOL
id gold one, which will of course,
afterward be pulled out and kept as
a memento. The Pioneer Press of
Monday last had this to say of the
matter:
The Pacific extension of the Chi
cage. Milwaukee 4 st. Paul road
will be known as the Chicago, Mil
waukee & Puget Sound railway and
will have separate set of officials,
many of them, however, officials al
so of the parent company. The Pa
cific extension proper begins at
Evarts, S. d., very near on the banks
of the Missouri river, and runs west
ward almost in a straight line for
1900 miles on what is said to be the
nearest level gradient of any trans
continental railroad in the word.
The construction of the extension
has been going on for practically
three years, and has involved an ex-
penditure of S100,OOO,OOO. Gigantic
tunnels and bridges through the
three Rocky mountain ranges with
less Gift" above the level of the sea
than was even originally dreamed
of by the civil engineers who had the
construction in charge.
1.-The most important engineering
feature of the entire extension is
the recently completed bridge at
Beverly, Wash, which is nearly a
mile in length, including the ap-
proaches. The steel spans as mount
ed stretch over distance of 1900
feet. Considerable ballasting must
be done over the entire line before
regular trains can be rum"

people how they can bake bread for
less than cent loaf, in an electric
al fireless cooker; how they can run
their washing machines, wringers
and sewing machines, can iron their
clothes, make coffee and toast bread
on the table while at meals. and any
one subject to chills or cold feet can
be soothed to sleep by the use Of an
electric bed pad.
But first they are going to push
the outside construction until COM
pleted. Meanwhile, the local con-
sumers of electricity will be asked
to be patient until about August LIST,
when the superintendent will see
that their needs in the way of inside
work are promptly attended to.

Former Redwood Pastor Not SIothfuI.

Rev. F. J. Barackman, formerly
pastor of the Presbyterian church in
this city, is fairly busy citizen at
Blackjack, his present home. He is
not only interested in finishing a
handsome new church building for
his congregation. but week or two
ago, as president Of the Blackjack
board of education, presided upon
the occasion Of the formal accep-
lance and dedication of the new high
school building at that place, and
later as president of the county
Sunday-school association. presided
at county convention at Bemidji.
1t is a good thing to be useful, and
the average church pastor has plenty
of opportunities in that line.

Light System.

MessrS. Burmeister and Wherland
have been very busy the past few
weeks designing the power plant
building and and5line work construc-
ton for the Redwood Falls Light
and Power Co. Before completing
the designs, they availed themselves
of the opportunity to attend the re-
cent Minnesota Electrical convention
at Minneapolis. at which about 200
electrical experts and engineers were
present.
The owner and superintendent of
this important enterprise are plan
ming to install one Of the up-to-date
electrical light and power plants in
the northwest, Mr.. Wherland will
have all plans complete by the 10th
of April next, and at that time will
start the construction work on the
building and lines and the insulation
of the machinery. The owner, Mr..
Burmeister, will join with the super
intendent in giving his entire time
to overseeing the work.
The plans VII call for the erection
Of a fine up-to-date building of re-
inforced concrete at the foot of
Washington street. The outside
wires will all be taken down and re-
placed with new, new cross-arms
will be placed on the poles and new
poles set where needed.
After the construction work is all
completed, the company will have a

BIRTHS AND DEATHS.
The Stork Makes Gains of More than
Four to One in Redwood County.

The births and deaths as reported
to the State Board Of Health the
past year will be found of consider
able interest to the people of the
various precincts reported. Vail
township leads in relative gains for
the census on births, with 27 births
and only 2 deaths. The relatively
lower death rate in the country
compared to the villages and city is
somewhat noticeable, in most cases.

the bill was finally reached by the
house on Wednesday, it was appar-
ent that the governor had made his !,
threat good. The bill was given its
first reading and went to the COM
mlttee on judiciary.
House file 322 is the bill for the
proposed law to Iegalize the state
prison revolving fund, now consist
ing of nearly S1,600,00O, of which
above amount at the present time
only Sl50,O00 has legal status. The
bill passed the house several weeks
ago. The bill is for the benefit of
the farmers of the state in their at
tempt to have machinery plant
and enlarged binding Irvine plant at
Saltwater. 1t would seem that they
ought to commence writing to their
senators and demand that the bill
should be placed before the whole
senate for consideration. 1t may be
as well to state that this revolving
fund is the only one containing
funds available or which is suscep-
tible of being made available with
out direct appropriation for the
purpose and direct appropriation
for the purpose greater than $780,
900 is not possible, in fact, it is con-
additionally impossible, and unless
the measure is passed, the manufac-
ture of rakes, mowers, harvesters

doned for another two years

ing law for tonnage tax on iron

session from 2 o'clock before the
vote was finally taken and the bill
passed 81 to 81, or just one more

is now up to the senate fer the ac-
ton of that body. In It's present
form it classifes mines into two
classes those which produce less

while those which produce more, are
taxed cents per ton on ore with

DehneI Makes Another Move.

Paul Dehnel, whose newspaper
career was begun at Wanda, in this
county, and who subsequently was
associated with a number of other
newspaper enterprises that ended
disastrously. took charge of McMa-
hons paper at Olivia some time last
year and renamed it the Free Press.
The Free Press later undertook to
reform all the the Renville county
editors and the board of county
commissioners in the bargain, for
declining to allow him to do the
county printing. The contract was
little too large and Paul's red hot
editorials did not avail him from be-
ing again thrown upon a cold and
unfeeling world. The owner of the
plant sold to County Attorney
Murray, and after very short taste
of newspaper troubles, Mr.. Murray
very sensibly sold out to Editor Lam
din of the Olivia Times, thus leaving
Olivia with only one paper, but I'M.
der the able management Of James
Landin, Olivia is likely to find one
paper enough. Landin is demo-
crat, but a capable manager and
able writer. Paul Dehnel, so it is
said, will now try again at Maynard,
Chippewa county.
