up. Hutchison is still waiting for
his pay from the city for service as
q special police officer during the
session of the Chautauqua assembly

priated $1,000 to settle this account
some time ago, but the mayor de-
clined to sign the warrant on the
ground that the city ordinance allow

shall made 1t Illegal for him to do so.
An amendment to the ordinance, al
lowing pay to special day officers for
service, was reported unfavorably by
the ordinance committee of the coun-
Gil last evening.
The mayor did right in having a
special policeman during the Chau-
tauqua and there are many times
when such assistance is needed. The
council will have the approval OF
the town If it adopts an ordinance
providing for such special service.

No. the Commercial club is neither
knocked out nor dead. though it will
haye to be admitted that it has been
heldup few by circumstances large
ly dependent on the sudden removal
of President Billy Owens to North
Dakota.
Monday the board of directors had
conference and it's members were
unanimous in a determination to go
ahead at once, and make arrange
ments for temporarily taking oyer
the Stag club rooms until after the
midsummer season, !. when larger
quarters can be secured according
to the needs of the organization.
Frank Clague was induced to ac-
cept the position of president of the
Commercial Club, and the choice is
approved by our citizens as the best
that could have been made.
Recent Developments and inquir-
les make it all but imperative for the
city to have some representative or
ganization to look after such mat
tiers as preparations for the county
fair. the Chautauqua, the corn con-
test next winter, for which premiums
must be arranged and announced
before the close Of the planting sea-
son, and matters Connected with Sc
curing new industries and develop
ing those we already have.
No one disputes that the city
greatly needs a commercial club.

for their dues and pitch in and make

nearly an hour the doctor was kept
busy in making answers to his audi
tors. Some of the points brought
out were that the doctor did not as
sumo that growing child could best
maintain health by eating two meals
a day, because he needed to provide
extra elements for his growth; as to
eating meat, the proteid equivalent
of half pound of lean meat day

the reason that wooden is poor alb

The doctors points about the
power of suggestion were out of the
ordinary, but his advice to cultivate
pleasant thoughts rather than mali

wholesome everyway. The speaker
took the not altogether novel ground

as well as the moral nature, accord

such animosity, and many interest

them personal to the speaker, were

Dwight BiSSell WedS Pennsylvania
Bride.

The following newspaper extract
from Scranton daily tells the story
of what attracted Dwight Bissell to
Pennsylvania:
A pretty wedding occurred at the
home of DIR. w. w. Myer, of Old
Forge. on Thursday, at high noon,
when Mrs. Ella v. Myer, mother of
DIR. Myer and Dwight Bissell of Red
wood Falls. Mimi, were married.
The bridal couple marched to the
strains of Lonengrin. rendered very
prettily by Miss Bertha Rosencrantz,
of Old Forge. They were preceded
by joint Dunn, who acted as best
man, and Mrs. John T. Dunn, who
acted as maid of honor. The bride
was attired in rich but simple trav-
cling gown, with hat to match. The
ceremony was performed by Rev.
George E. Guild, D. D., of the Provi-
dence Presbyterian church of this
city.
After the ceremony luncheon was
served, No invitations to the we'd
ding were sent and, with the excep-
ton of Mrs. T. j. Stewart and Miss
Bertha Rosencrantz. of Old Forge,
there were none present but rela-
tives Of the bride, consisting of DR..
w. w. Meyer and Cecil Meyer, sons
of the bride; DR.. D. w. Brown, of
Wyalusing. brother; Mrs. I. F.
Brown and Mr.. and Mrs. John T.
Dunn of this city.
It was the intention of Mr.. and
Mrs. Bissel to start at once on an ex-
tended wedding trip to Atlantic City
and elsewhere, but on account of an
unfortunate and sudden illness of
the bride, the trip had to be post
poned for few days. Mrs. Bissel's
illness is not considered serious.
After their wedding trip they will
return to Old Forge and reside with
DR.. Myer for a short time, after
which Mr.. and Mrs. Bissel expect to
reside in Scranton permanently.

oyer until the next term Of court.
The grand jury was in session four
days, and filed the following report
before the adjournment of court:
I'VE, the grand jury sitting at the April term Of
court beg to report:
the public buildings of Redwood county and find:
/. That the Jail of said county is clean, sanitary
and well kept and in good condition,
Q. That we have examined into the condition
of the county home and find the same well kept
and in good condition. but respectfully recommend
that in all urgent and serious cases of such home
that competent and necessary help be procured to
attend on such cases,
3. That we have examined into the condition
of the county court house and find it in a fair
state of repair, but in many places unsanitary and
unclean, and respectfully recommend that the
Railways, Offices and various other rooms in said
court house be thoroughly cleaned and put into a
sanitary condition, or that it be removed to the
village of Wabasso in said Redwood county.
4. And we further. after investigating the cost
of keeping and maintaining our poor for the years
1906. 1907, 1908 and 1909, find that it costs
larger sums to maintain the county home in adj
dition to supporting the poor, and we severely
criticise the county commissioners for imposing
the useless and foolish expense on the taxpayers
of the county in building said home, and respect
fully recommend the sale disposal of said county
home for hospital or other purposes.

some of the members of the Mime

Mr.. and Mrs. Bowers, other former
Redwood Falls citizens being includ-

Judge J. H, Bowers. formerly of

treasurer of the club and is one of
the pioneer Gophers in Spokane.
Judge Bowers was the leader in the
grand religious pageant in Spokane
last fall, when 10000 children and
women and men marched through
the streets demanding respect and
attention to the church.
Mrs. Bowers, who was Florence
Chapmanof Redwood Falls, is prepar-
ing to take part in the annual ban
quet program and tell of her exper-
fence with the Minnesotans who have
grown prominent since the time
when she taught them in one Of the

schoolboy in Redwood Falls, years
