SEVEN GOOD
REASONS FOR
EARLY BUYING
Minneapolis Civic Association AID
vances Argument For Prompt
Christmas Shopping.
BEST GOODS AND BEST SERVICE
Late Corners Find Crowds, Wearied
Clerks and Picked Over Stocks.

The following arguments for early
shopping were adopted by the retail
trade committee of the Civic and
Commerce association of Minneapo-
lis:
Early Christmas shopping has its
sentimental side, but it also involves
an important economic side, which
affects the consumer more than any
other element involved.
Gets Best OF Everything.
The gift-seeker who does his buy
ing early can select from complete
stock and enjoy better service than
the person who delays shopping un-
til the last week.
The shopper who visits the retail
stores in the morning hours will find
it possible to save much time and
will escape throngs in aisles and
around counters.
Many find it impossible to shop be-
fore the last few days, either be-
cause they must wait for pay day or
because of absence from the city.
The person who has funds and time
at his disposal early in the season
will escape the stampede of those
who necessarily must be late, If he
will attend to his shopping early.
Has Time For Exchange.
The early shopper escapes the nee
essarily delayed deliveries of the late
season and has ample time to make
exchanges. He also has the advan-
tage of time in which properly to
pack gifts to be sent away from the
city by mail or by express, and ne is
enabled to give the mail or express
service time to insure delivery on or
before Christmas.
Everything favors the early shop
per, just as everything favors the
man near the front of the line at the
theatre box office. He will find piece
of mind after his shopping is complet-
ed the strongest inducement for buy
ing early.
The sentimental feature involves
the salespeople in the stores who find
the task of taking care of the late
Corners extremely arduous.

INSTALLS BIG MACHINE.
w. NJ. Peavey, Tailor, Puts In Fine
Steam Pressing Apparatus.

William M. Peavey, tailor, has just
installed fine automatic pressing
machine that does excellent work.
A pressure of several hundred
pounds is thrown upon the garment
and at the same time steam is forced
through the fabric so that the gar
ment comes out carefully pressed and
ready for wear with only a moment
or two Of delay.
The original cost of the machine
was considerable but Mr.. Peavey feels
that the investment was excellent as
the increase in the capacity Of his
shop is very considerable.

BROTHERS LOST Is YEARS.
Larson Tiffany Tells How Missing
Ones Were Found.

Larson Tiffany of Lake Benton,
Mimi, who arrived here recently to
spend the winter with his brothers
William and ]. j. Tiffany, related to
several friends how he had once lost
all trace of his brothers for a period
of more than eighteen years and how
by a mere accident he succeeded in
establishing communication with
them.
Mr.. Tiffany asserts that it was all
caused by a lost letter. Eighteen
years elapsed during which time he
had made repeated efforts to learn
of his brothers whereabouts. The re-
union of the three brothers was due
to a cobbler who moved from Red
wood to Lake Benton, Mimi, where
Mr.. Tiffany resided. The cobbler
told Mr.. Tiffany that he knew of two
persons by that name at Redwood
Falls. Further inquiry lead to a cor
respondence which resulted finally in
their meeting.
Mr.. Tiffany says that he was in
Redwood about twenty years ago and
that there has been a remarkable
hcange in the city's progress and
growth since that time.

animals in the stalls and games of all
natures.
Hug-mes Fascinate You.
If you can think of anything cutter
than Hug-me Riddle you are entitled
to the prize pancake.
These youngsters, the joy of every
small kid In town, are being shown at
one of the largest stores in great as
sortment and ranging in price from
25c to $1.25. If you question the fas-
cinating power of these dolls just
step in and take look at their big
eyes.
Skis for Everybody.
For these same boys one hardware
merchant is displaying on snowy
hillside, the most realistic skis from
75c to $2.75; skates from Toe to $500
and sleds ranging from the modest
25c ones to the flexible flyer at $500.
Even Father Get a Look In.
Unusually good, too, is the line of
gifts for the men. One of the Jew
elers shows gold-headed umbrellas
from $500 to SO, signet rings, beau
tifully engraved, the ever practical
shaving mug and brush, silver mount
ed, costing $3.50. Fob chains from
$1.75 TO $500; fountain pens at $3.50
to $500 and necktie clasps most rea-
sonably priced.
Grab Down A BathrObe.
The clothing stores are plentifully
stocked with practical gifts-bath-
robes fashioned from blankets, in
good colors and designs. These are
inexpensive considering the quality
at $3.50 to $500.
Shown with these are fur caps
ranging in price from $3.50 to $1,000
and fur-lined mittens from $500 to
$3.50.
More-modest in price are the very
useful combination sets. These COM
prise hose, ties and handkerchiefs,
suspenders and supporters, or the
more nifty" leather fob and belt
and sell for s10O or $3.50 according
to the combination. This merchant
also has steamer trunks and durable
travelling bags costing from $500 to
$1,000.
Might Try A ThermOs Bottle.
In another shop are seen Thermos
bottles in pint and quart sizes selling
at $3.50 and up and safety razor sets
from the simple one dollar kind to
the beautifully plated and mounted
Gillette" at six dollars.
She Might Like Aluminium.
For the kitchen and dining room
the hardware stores are offering many
interesting things. In one of them is
to be seen aluminium utensils of all
kinds selling at $500 up to $500 ac-
cording to the size and shape of the
dish.

START CRAWLING ROAD.
Twelve Teams Are AT Work On
State Road West of Redwood.

Travel on the state road west of
Redwood Falls will be more delight
full after the crawling of the high
way is completed. Twelve teams
started yesterday morning hauling
gravel from the George Whittet pit
to be used on the road.
The road is now graveled for about
mile and half out of town and it is
planned to gravel at least four and
a half miles more this winter and
have it in fine shape when spring
opens. This is an improvement made
imperative by the amount of travel
over that highway.

TRIAL
WILL BE HELD
MONDAY NIGHT
John Mclean Must Face Serious
Charge in Judge Laudon's Court.
DOLLIFF WILL DEFEND HIM.
Emerson and Detective Darrell Sure
They have The Right Man.

John Mclean is to be tried on a
charge of murder at the court house
next Monday evening at o'clock.
That John is innocent no one has
doubt except A. H. Emerson, county
attorney, who is determined to make
out a case against someone in the
battling mystery of the disappear
ance of Jennie Brice.
This is Simply A Mock Trial.
Now don't make a mistake: This
is simply mock trial, but it's going
to be dandy and the admission to
see the fun will be Is good cents of
the realm.
Jennie Brice has disappeared, skid
dooed, vanished. Her husband, i'm
personated by Mr., Mclean, is a sus-
picious character and circumstances
are dead against him.
Detective Darrell at Work.
Mr.. Emerson, assisted by the anna
teur detective, N. de NJ Darrell, thinks
he has a train of circumstantial evil
dence that's sure to convince the jury.
Mrs. G.. C. Little is on the man hunt,
as the girl was murdered in her
house during perfectly splendid
Pittsburg flood
DR.. T. K. Finn has been called to
give expert testimony and answer a
couple of hypothetical questions.
When it comes to this hypo business
the doctor is long on answers.
Do You Believe Him Guilty.
Anyway if you think John is guilty
of his wife's murder come out and see
the prosecuting attorney go after
him. If you believe him to be guilt
less of so base crime come out and
see Judge Dolliff wipe away the stains
and sprinkle the perfume Of Arabia
over his client
Also it should be worth the price
of admission to see Judge A r. A.
Laudon, haloed by much dignity, pre-
ing John.
Dripps May Get You.
By the way, portly Ned Dripps has
the power of life and death over the
jurors SO you better watch out or
he'll get you.

FIRST GAZETTE
EDITOR IS DEAD
William B. Herriott Passes Away
AT Los Angeles, November "a.
MRS. MARY FLINN is ILL.
Well Known Redwood Lady Afflicted
With Cataract-Aiken Writes
Coast News.
MRS. MARY FLINN is ILL.

VIM. B. Herriott, pioneer resi-
dent of Redwood Falls, died at his
home in Los Angeles on Wednesday
of last week-the day preceding
Thanksgiving.
The brief notices in Los Angeles
dailies do not give other particulars
than the fact that the late Mr.. Her.
riott was 78 years of age and that
he was native of Pennsylvania.
Residents of Redwood County, dur
ing the ten years following 1874, will
associate the memory of Mr.. Herriott
with The Redwood Gazette, which
paper he named and owned-for a
time under the partnership name of
Herriott & Balls and later as sole
owner.
Gazette Started 43 Years Ago.
The first paper was launched in
1869 by "Vic" Seward, as The Red
wood Falls Mail, his successors
changing the name to The Gazette.
Mr.. Herriott was also receiver of the
U. S. Land office for several years
prior to his removal to California in
1884, he having disposed of The Ga
zette to Aiken & Rigby in May 1880.
Mr.. and Mrs. Herriott were among
the leading members of the Presbyter-
ian Church, and the former had the
final oversight of the building of the
present edifice, leaving Redwood Falls
for Los Angeles soon after it dedica-
ton.
Ill Nearly Two Years.
His acquaintance are generally
aware that Mr.. Herriott had a severe
illness during the winter of 1901,
and that although he afterward re-
turned to his desk in the City, he
never fully regained his health. Mrs.
Herriott has no family to share her
bereavement, but sister and neph-
ew reside near Los Angeles.
The Gazette has not yet noted the
fact that Mrs. Mary Finn has been
under treatment at a Los Angeles
hospital for cataract, threatening loss
of sight of both eyes. Her friends
here as well as in Redwood Falls pro-
foundry hope her affection may be of
short duration.
Donald Stewart and family, who
lived at Santa Ana for several months
prior to November, have been resi-
dents of San Diego since that date.
The former telephone manager at
Redwood Falls appeared to be sunny
over the recovery of good health for
and family after leaving
Colorado for California, and may
good fortune attend him in his posi-
ton as book-keeper for a business
concern in Mosher's booming city by
"the harbor of the SUM-"

TON OF MAIL EACH WEEK.
Local POstOffice Does Big Business
This Fall.

The local post Office received orders
during the month of September from
the department at Washington that
all out going mail leaving during the
month of October and November
should be weighed.
According to the order all out go
ing mail was weighed and for the two
months the mail averaged ton each
week.
At this time of the season with
Christmas rapidly approaching the
out going mail would in all probable
ity reach a higher figure than dur
ing the months mentioned.

GRAIN CONGESTION.
Heavy Primary Receipts Cause De-
n1and for More Cars,

Grand Forks.-Grain congestion
threatens the Great Northern railroad
on the Dakota and Minot divisions as
result Of heavy primary receipts
during the past few days. Already
calls are being made at numerous
points for more cars, and the rail.
road Is finding difficulty at times in
supplying the demand rapidly enough
to prevent trouble.
At points where farmers elevators
have been established a tremendous
business is being done. In some
places the farmers institution is filled
with grain, while the line elevators
have only 1000 or 5000 bushels, and
that fact has complicated the situa-
ton somewhat.
Primary receipts have been un.
usually heavy during the past week;
machines are operating at full capac-
ity, and the fields of grain are rapidly
being turned into the elevators.
The condition with reference to
men is not nearly so serious as it ap-
peared to be at one time. The farm.
ers, while obliged to run short.handed
are not seriously Handicapped, and
threshing is advancing so rapidly that
it will be only few days before it
will be practically complete.

ARE GETTING PAY.
Fargo Banks Handle Nearly Quarter
Million q Day.

Fargo.-More than $225,O0O per
day Is pouring into the banks of Fargo
every day as a result of the grain
drafts and it is a question whether
ever before there was so much money
coming into the city in such . short
time. One bank received $125, 900 and
the other banks made up quota that
exceeded $225,00O and the returns to-
day were even greater.
This money comes from grain deal
ers and is what the farmers are re-
ceiving for their crops.
In spite Of the scarcity of labor
very few, if any, machines are idle.
and threshing is progressing most en-
couragingly. It is the prediction of
local bankers that a quarter million a
day is likely to be the prevailing
amount for some time

cording to Rev. Alex Karr, who has
been engaged the past three years in
the creation Of an endowment for
needy ministers of the gospel. He
makes such recommendation in his re-
port to the conference, showing that
present salaries are wholly inadequate
to meet the needs Of the clergy, and
that there is absolutely no opportun-
lty afforded for setting something
aside for rainy day." The confer
ence claimant fund has reached the
sum of $154.000, approximately $4,000
being added the past year.
