life has both its ad-

had tried it. You should know both
sides before giving UP your bookkeep-
ing job and buying a farm.
One of the main festivities in coun-
try life is the surprise party.
There are times when country peo-
pie get desperately hard up for enter
tainment There may not have been a
charivari for a week. II may be three
whole days until the next social at the
church. Then it is that g. surprise
party comes to the relief of the COM
munity.
Some defenseless neighbor is sur
prised by everybody else and anything
will do for an excuse.
ION the appointed evening the gang
descends unheralded. About $50 of
them. Seventy-five take possession of
the parlor, eighty-four get into the
dining room and the rest overflow into
the kitchen, the pantry, the bedrooms
and the cellar.
There are all kinds of amusementS.

find there. When they are arrayed in
the funny old hats and other gar

the parlor This adds to the surprise
of the hosts. They are expected to ap
plaud the joke especially if some one
falls and rips something badly
Another good joke is to take the
parlor rug and give II a good shaking
amid the guests, thus creating a cloud
of dust that chokes and blinds them.
BY bringing out tine fact that there
is much dust IN the rug one Of the
best jokes OF the evening is perpe

appreciate it.

BAND STAND DEDICATION

Friday evening Of this week the
new band stand erected in the park
opposite the Kahler House will be
dedicated. For the first time the
band will give it's weekly concert in
the new structure, which will be COM
pleted by that date.
The boys have undertaken to erect
this much needed stand without the
necessary funds to complete it and
will endeavor to raise money enough
Friday evening to cover all indebted
ness. The stand is an extremely well
constructed one and will add much to
the enjoyment Of the audience at the
concert.
Many ladies expressed a willing
ness to furnish cakes for the last So
cial, but owing to the short notice
were unable to do SO. The opportuni-
ty is at this time given to do this and
the boys will feel in no wise sighted
if the good cooks of the city will kind
ly inform Lauterbach Bros, that they
will each furnish one.

MONEY GIVES A. C. BURMEISTER A
MERRY CHASE AND SOME WORRY

If you are broke ard in need Of a
little money, go down and iook behind
the hen coup in A. C. Burmeister's
back lot and perhaps you will find it.
Now this may seer slightly strange
perhaps, but had you done this very
thing on certain day not long ago
,-ou would have be ~ rewarded hv find
ing a pair of old Trousers that once be-
ionged to Mr.. Bun reister and if you
had searched those trousers you would
have found snugly hidden in one of
the pockets, roll of green backs a.
mounting to just $500.
It is perfectly reasonable to assume
that Mr.. Burmeister does not keep
this pair of pants there behind his hen
coup with $500 rolled up nice and
waiting for someone to come along
and help themself. Far be it from
such. However, the pants were there
and the money too, but not very long.
You see, it happened something like
this:
Mr.. Burmeiser worked with Fred
Theiring and Tom Seifert when they
replaced the sluice boards on the dam
a few days ago. At certain stage
of the work Mr.. Seifert had to dive
down about three feet below the sur
face of Lake Redwood and drive sew
eral big spikes in place to hold the
heavey frae-work for the sluice boards
Before performing this marvellous
AQUATIC stunt he reached down into
his pockets where he had the Mill
money which he had taken with him
when he left that building, brought it
forth and handed it to Mr.. Burmeister
for safe keeping.
Shortly after this the man who FUR
nishes Redwood Falls with light and
power found it necessary to get down
into the water also. He happened to
think Of the money, took It from his
clothes and laid it down on the ground
! for fear Of losing it.

THERE WAS A REAL BALL GAME
Granite Falls Crosses Bats With the
Locals Thursday; Result l to 2,
Granite Wins

As the score would indicate, Thurs
days game proved to be one of excep-
tional merit and gave our loyal fans
an opportunity of seeing some classy
base ball and pitchers battle from
start to finish.
Our local pill shooter, A. Glib, had
a shade the better of the argument
with only five hits plugged off his
slants while Redwood found Granite
for seven bingles.
The winning score came in the Sth
inning when Glib hit the first man
up; poor peg from catch allowed
him to steal second; the next man sac
rifced the runner to third and a
measley scratch hit brought the proud
warrior home.
Redwood could not duplicate this
stunt In the ninth though one man hit
safely to first. He was caught out at
second however on an attempted steal
and then it was and 8. Number 2
was out on a fly and No. 8 chopped.
1t was a good game, however, and
pleasure to the fans. We hope Red
wood will take Lucan's measure at
lucan Thursday and again when they
lay Montevideo Monday on the local
cid.

Popular Redwood Girl Quietly Mar
ried to Earl McPhearsOn Last
Saturday Afternoon

Miss Lois Warner and Earl Nc
Phearson were married at the home
of the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs
F. L. Warner, last Saturday afternoon
at four-thirty o'clock.
The wedding was a very quiet one
only the immediate relatives of the

The bride wore white marquisette
and carried bouquet of brides roses
with showers of lilies-of- the-valley
There were no attendants and no
music.
Immediately after the ceremony
Mr.. and Mrs. McPhearson drove to
Sanborn, where they were met by Mr..
and Mrs. Geo. Jaehning who drove
with them to Lake Okoboji where
they joined the Redwood tourists Sun
day morning. They disappeared at
Jackson, which was the first stop
made Monday and no trace Of them
has yet been found.
Mr.. and Mrs. McPhearson are both

Automobile Upset;
Miraculous Escape

Things Happen
DRIVER PINNED BENEATH CAR

About 11:20 yesterday occurred
what might be called most FORUM
ate automobile accident on the hill
leading to the Redwood falls.
Mr.. Geo. Kuck had purchased a
Buick automobile from the family OF
the late VIM. Miller of Morton and
was taking his first ride and also tax
ing the car to his home in Kintire
township. Mr.. Kuck was accompan-
led by Clarence Mulligan also of Kin
tire, who has had experience with
automobiles, and whom he had en-
gagged to drive the car home for him
In the party were VIM. Miller of Nor
ton and Mr.. Kuck's daughter, Matte
and little son.
Everything appeared to be in gooo
running order when the ascent of the
hill was begun, but in some manner
when at the steepest point where the
shortest turn is made, the car refused
to respond when the brakes were ap-
piled.
The machine rapidly gained speed
and when the turn was partially made
a team drawing a load of hay ap-
peared suddenly. There seemed nc
possible means of turning past, SO the
driver steered into the high bank
The machine had gained such speed
by this time that it climbed the bank
for a few feet and then came the
crash that brought the machine bot
tom side up.
Mr.. Kuck escaped with his son in
his arms by jumping as the car went
lover, Miss Kuck and Miller were
Thrown away from the car. Multi
gan, however, was pinned under the
Gear, the back of the front seat resting
upon his thigh.
David McNaughton and Willis
Holder who were on the load of hay
assisted by John Lauterbach, Jr., who
Happened on the scene and Mr.. Kuck
raised the car sufficiently to release
the young man, who crawled from
underneath apparently uninjured At
ter examining the party it was found
that aside from few bruises and
scratches they were not hurt.
Frank Japs was called to the scene
at once and with the assistance of
volunteers soon had the car righted
The windshield, steering rod and top
were smashed completely, but aside
from this the car sustained little dam
age. The car was stripped of the
damaged parts, new steering rod in
stalled and it was then ready for use
Mr.. Kuck feels very grateful fol
the escape of the whole party with sc
little injury. Considering the place
and manner in which the accident oc.
Cured it was indeed fortunate the re.
suit was no worse.

State Bank Capital
Raised to $4,000
Local Money Institutions Both Hand
ling Larger Sums Than Ever Be-
fore; Prospects Bright
UNITED CAPITAL is 100000
Banks Give County Additional Tax
able Valuation of $4,000
Within Past Year
UNITED CAPITAL is $500, 900

At a special meeting of the stock
holders of the State Bank of Redwood
Falls, held at their banking house Sat-
urday, July 10Th, it was voted to in
crease the capital of the bank to $780,
100000 with a surplus of S10,000.00.
The new stock has been placed
among the various citizens of the
community, and the bank now has as
its stockholders many of our repre-
sentative citizens and land owners.
The bank was established in 1901
by the members of the Gold-Stabeck
firm, now of Minneapolis. In the fall
of 1902 it was Incorporated as State
Bank with a capital stock of S25,000.-
90. One year later the capital was
increased to S35, 100000 and the de-
posts of the old bank of Redwood
Falls were taken over, that bank dis
continuing.
| The present move is indicative of
the growth of the community and the
bank, and in keeping with the desire
of the stockholders to give the great
j est security and the best service to its
! patrons.
The stock of the bank is now owned
by the following persons:
D. w. Banker, ]. H. Bowers, J. P.
| Cooper, R. A. Cooper, Frank Clague
August Carity, N. w. Cobleigh, w
G. Cummins, Geo. Davis, w. P. Ell

Lean, A. D. McRae, j. B. Robinson
Ira Reynolds, A. d. Stewart, ]. A.
! Schmahl, H. P. Sanders, L. Schultz
and A. Vihstadt.
The banking laws of the state of
Minnesota provide that every stock
holder is liable for double the amount
of his stock, which give the deposit
tors of the State Bank of Redwood
Falls security to the extent of S110,-
100000, in addition to the well-known
conservative management of the
/ bank.
The bank for a number of years
has been paying three per cent quar-
terly dividends out of its earnings
which is indicative of the prosperity
which it has enjoyed.
Redwood Falls has every reason to
be proud of its banking institution
Both banks have now increased their
capital within the past year, giving
to the community an additional tax
able valuation of s25, 10000.
The banks are owned and con-
trolled by local men of conservatism
and influence in the community, and
men who have always stood for the
best interests Of the community.
The deposits in the two banks are
now over $500, 900, as shown by their

But when he got out he forgot all
about it, went home for dinner and
was busily engaged eating when it
suddenly dawned upon him that the
$500 was back there on the ground.
Without word he rose from the table
and dashed out of the house, accomp-
anied by snowy napkin and minus
hat. He reached the spot where he
had left the money, almost out of
breath and found the roll undisturbed,
with a nice, smiling ten spot wrapped
on the outside.
He returned to finish his meal,
mighty thankful for this favor of the
good luck gods.
But alas! Fate was not through
with him. Before he left the house
again he decided to change his trou-
sers as they were wet and decidedly
uncomfortable. Here he forgot the
money again, and as matter Of fact
he could have truthfully said later had
q chance creditor accosted him, Il
have left my money in my other
pants
During the afternoon Mrs. Burmeis-
ter saw the old garment Icing on the
floor where her husband, being mere
man had hastily left it. Thinking
that it had served its purpose she de-
cided to throw it away. When Mr..
Burmeister came home for supper he
asked his wife what had become of the
old trousers. "Those real, old, tat
tered ones?" she asked. "Yes,o re-
