Current Events.

The fall Of Illinois Central stock in the past

As every other railroad in the country This
problem Is one that railroads and every one
has To confront The floods have not been
an, more severe on the Illinois Central than
ON many other roads that are paying their
regular dividends.
The real cause of the financial stringency
and the wrecked condition OF the Illinois Cen
trail Is the shop mems strike. The surplus
money that the Illinois Central had on hand
has been spent fighting the strikers. and the
business lost because of the roads inability 10

FROM sTEERAGE TO GOVERNOR

Thirty-two years ago Adolph Olson,
a little boy, landed at the New York
Immigrant station. He had come from
Sweden and was held up at Ellis Is
land until the inspectors were satisfied
he had friends in Minnesota who
would take care of him. As the lad
grew up, he found SO many Adolph Oh
sons among his Swede American fell
low citizens that he petitioned the
court to allow him to take the name of
the woman he married. So today he
is Adolph Olson Eberhart, and is gov
ernor of the sovereign state of Min
nesota, which is going some in thirty
two years.
Yet the man who has risen from
the Storage to the governors chair
has not forgotten the days of hardship
of his youth. Visiting in New York
last week he heard Of little German
boy who has been held up at the I'm
migration station under circumstances
identical with those which confronted
Adolph Olson thirty-two years ago.
So this governor of Minnesota got
busy and after days hard work con-
WINGED the authorities that the little
immigrants Minnesota friends would
take care Of him and secured his re-
lease.
Is history going to repeat itself and
thirty years hence will the immigrant
who was helped through Ellis Island
by the governor of Minnesota become
his successor in that gubernatorial
chair? Who can tell?-Editorial in
Baltimore American.

PIONEER VISITS OLD FRIENDS
st. Peter Free Press Acknowledges a
Visit From Redwood Falls
Resident

There is perhaps not an old settler
in this city who does not remember
the genial and ever cheerful George
Bailey, who came here in 1859. Mr..
Bailey is bricklayer and plasterer
by trade, but also familiar with the
intricacies of butchering cattle and
running meat market, and this came
in quite handy in the old pioneer days
when it was not always an easy matt
ter to get good men to do that kind
of work. Mr.. Bailey came over with
the Clark brothers, direct from Eng
land and soon after his arrival work
ed at hs trade as bricklayer and plas-
terer in various parts of the county.
Some years later, when Tom Wright
opened a meat market on Front street,
George was engaged to help in the
business and sometimes was in sole
charge and had to do the buying and
killing of the stock and the selling of
the meat.
In 1872 he moved to Minneapolis,
where he worked at his trade for a
number of years. After he lost his
wife he moved to Hopkins, where he
made his home until two years ago
He is now making his permanent resi-.
dence at Redwood Falls.
Mr.. Bailey is visiting with Andrew
Cook and family on Front street this
week and is busy shaking hands with
his old friends. He says he is 80 years
young and that he has no intention
of leaving this earthly paradise fol
a number of years to come.-St. Pc.

Your Freight Bills
Are Worth Money
Bills Dated Between July LIST, 1911
and July 20, 1913, May Bring
Good Returns
N. F. Dripps Busy Adjusting Claims
For Local Holders of Excess
sive Charge Claims
Refund Based on Plea of Unlawfully
Raised Rate in Force
For Two Years

Under the decision made by the
Supreme Court in the Minnesota Rate
Case, it is now possible for all those
holding freight bills, to get refund
of certain per centage of the exor-
bitant charge made.
The Supreme Court ruling is based
on the charge Of ian unlawful raising
of the freight rate July 1, 1911"
This rate was in force until July 20,
1918, therefor any freight bills issued
between these two dates are worth
more or less money to the holder.
The method Of procedure in collect
ing the refund is one of considerable
complexity and entails the skillful
untangling Of much badly twisted red
tape. The simple method of punching
the bills, and sending them in to the
office is not in the least satisfactory,
the sender of the bills is very apt to
be greatly and disagreeably surprised
in the amount of trimming" the en-
ployees of the company find it posi-
BILE to effect.
N. r. Dripps is adjusting all local
claims against the freight company,
and is determined to get the most Of
each possible claim held by those who
place their freight bills in his keeping.
He listsseach bill in the form required
by the company and his customer is
issued 4 record Of each claim which
assures him against any possible
fraud.
Mr.. 1ripps has the work already
well under way although he started
it only tery recently.
There has been great rustling Of
old bills throughout the city and.nuch
mourhing over bills carelessly tossed
aside IN the past. Those who haven't
hunted up the bills would be wise to do
so and put them into Mr.. Dripp's safe
keeping.

HOMEMADE PHILOSOPHY

If your neighbor is prosper
GUS let him prosper. Don't
grunt, growl or grumble. Say
good word for him and let it
go at that. Don't be a knocker
Your turn will come. No one
man is the whole show. If you
see that the town is moving a.
long nicely, feel good about it.
Help things along; shove lit
tie. Try to get some of the
benefit yourself. Don't stand
around like silly old cadaver.
Don't waste your time feeling
sore because another fellow has
little more sand and sense
than you have. Do a little hust-
ling yourself. Don't be a
knocker.-Dassel Anchor.

Irn1d Shoemaker
Meets Death While
Bathing in River.
Daughter of North Redwood Postmas-
ter Overcome By Water
Friday Afternoon
Sidney Able and Leonard Sampson
Show Wonderful Courage and
Presence of Mind
Parents and Friends Heartbroken Ov-
er Tragedy That Takes Away
General Favorite

Miss Irma Shoemaker, daughter of
Herman Shoemaker of North Red
wood, was drowned last Friday after
noon, in the river at North Redwood.
MISS Shoemaker, with her step
sister, Miss Eva Henzie, was bathing
in the stream just above the dam, at
the time the accident occurred.
In some way they both got out be-
yond their depth and when first seen
from the shore, were making a des-
perate effort to get back to shallow
water.
Sidney Able and Leonard Samp-
son saw the struggle the girls were
making, and went to the rescue. They
managed to get Miss Henze to the
bank, but by that time Miss Shoe
maker had gone down and did not
again come to the surface of the wa
ter. ~
The boys did splendid rescue work,
and showed presence Of mind unusual
in boys so young. Had it not been
for their quick work and the great
courage with which they put aside all
thought of personal safety in their
efforts to save the girls, Miss Hence
would undoubtedly have shared the
fate of her sister.
The funeral service was conducted
from the home at two o'clock yester-
day. 1t was held in the open air and
nearly four hundred sorrowing friends
met to show their love for the dead
girl and their sympathy with her par
ents' grief.
Rev. Heilscher read the burial SER
vices, and interment was made in the
Redwood Falls cemetery. The for
al offerings were very numerous and
beautiful fitting tribute to the
place Miss Shoemaker held in the
hearts of her friends and relatives.
Irma Louise Shoemaker was born
July "a, 1895 at North Redwood, where
she has spent her entire life. She
finished the grade school at North
Redwood in 1910 and since then has
been student in the Redwood Falls
High School, from which she would
have been graduated next June. She
was general favorite with both
teachers and pupils.
Miss Shoemaker's mother preceded
her to the Great Beyond about four
years ago after long and lingering
illness. Nearly two years ago new
mother, two brothers and sister en-
tered her home. Since then she and
her step-sister have been inseparable.
Miss Shoemaker is survived by her
parents, her sister, her brothers Ralph
Shoemaker, and Roy and Norman Hen
re. She is also greatly mourned by
her aged grandmother and many 9TH
er relatives.
To all of these, and all whose lives
came in daily contact with Miss Shoe
maker The Gazette joins the hosts of
friends in expressing sincerest sym
patty.
