O'clock

Tomorrow morning, the home of
Mrs. Margaret Evans, will be the
scene of pretty home wedding, when
her daughter, Miss Jennie Evans will
be married to Harry johnson.
The ceremony will be performed at
1880 o'clock in the bay window of the
back parlor, which will be draped with
flowers and smilax. Rev. A. A. Joss,
rector of the Church of the Holy Com
munion will read the beautiful and
impressive ring service. The couple
will be unattended and there will be no
music.
After the service a two course
breakfast will be served after which
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson will leave for
the cities. There they contemplate Wis
iting for week, after which they will
return to Redwood Falls before going
to their future home at Balaton.
The bride will wear white crepe
wolfe over white messaline and carry a
bridal bouquet of rosebuds and lilies
of-the-valley. Carnations, tulips and
smilax will be used profusely for dec
orations, in the parlor and dining room.
Only immediate relatives of the famil-

last week.
Both Miss Evans and Mr.. Johnson
have been residents of Redwood Falls
nearly all their lives, and are very well
known in social circles. That Miss
Evans is leaving host of friends for
her new home is shown conclusively
by the entertaining which has been
done for her in the past week. The
good wishes of these friends will fol-
low Mr.. and Mrs. johnson in their life
together and in these The Gazette
joins most heartily.

|St. Louis Road Has
Wreck at Franklin
Broken Flange Causes Track To Be
Torn Up for Considerable
Distance
CABOosE HANGS OVER CLIFF
Train Crew in CabOOse Are Impris-
oned and Narrowly Escape Going
Over Embankment

The time freight coming west had a
rather serious experience two miles
west of Franklin at o'clock last Fri
day morning.
The train, consisting of two box
cars, fiat car heavily loaded with
coal, and the caboose, was coming
along the cutoff when a defective
fiange on the truck of the fat cal
broke. This so seriously injured the
wheel that it completely disabled the
track for a distance of about a block
and q half.
This was a particularly dangerous
proceeding because the track at this
point runs along an embankment some
what over so feet high. The trains
crew, in the caboose, were made pris
oners by the doors being SO tightly
closed by the tipping of the car that
they could open neither of them. They
only prevented the car from going Over
the cliff by running to the other end
1t was reported to have been so bal
anced that it could easily have beer
pushed down the declivity by one man
Men from Morton were at work or
the track by eight o'clock and the
wrecking crew from Minneapolis ar.
rived lat o'clock. Prior to the acct
dent the track seems to have been il
first class condition, and the company
is in no way to blame for the accident
By quick work the crews were able tt
put it in shape for traffic by midnight
Saturday night. The afternoon pas
senger trains exchanged passenger
and mail and in this way transporta
ton was not seriously handicapped.
Beside the damage done to the track
the truck of the coal car was complete
ly demoralized, and all other trucks
badly disabled. It is considered mar
velous, however, by those who visitet
the wreck, that there was no loss D.
life.

Baseball Season Is
Opened by Victory
High School Nine Wins Saturday
Game from Wood Lake By
Seven Points

Those who saw the game Saturday
between the local High School Team
and the team of Wood Lake were sat-
isfied that at last the High School has
the prospect of team which will put
the local High School on the baseball
map.
The game was secured Friday after
noon after the boys had missed date
with Sleepy Eye and was scheduled for
2;30 Saturday but the Wood Lake boys
who came in cars were delayed by fiat
tires and other usual motor troubles.
The lineup at the start was as fol-
lows: Veldey, p, P Myers, c., Howe,
l B., Alexander, 2 B., Frazier, S. S., HI.
Myers, 8 B., Glassco, R. F., Rogers, C.
F., Aune, L. F. The boys started off
with snap and in the last of the
first inning Frazier made first on a
fast grounder, and stole second. The
next man up, Harold Myers drove a
long home run down the field which
brought in Frazier and himself thus
scoring two points in the first inning.
AS reward for his ability with the
stick Harold Myers received Sc pair
of trousers from VIM. Neiman.
From then everyone realized that
the boys were playing baseball. In the
third inning our little snubber, Paul
Myers, drove three Dagger over the
third baseman and received the So hat
offered by Hubbard Davis Co., which
shows that the theory of heredity is
proved as we are informed, that one
of his ancestors in the old stone age
was very proficient with a rock when
hunting the mammoth.
During the fifth inning six hits and
z runs were counted against the Wood
Lake boys, and five more runs were
scored during the rest of the game.
In the last of the eighth a few
changes were made in the lineup, Cor
coran and Hall substituted Veldey and
Myers and Steele took left field in
Ames' place and during the ninth Nc
Murchie was behind the bat.
Corcoran, a new man at the pitching
game was hit rather hard and seven
runs were made by Wood Lake during
the eighth and ninth innings. The
game was characterized by snappy
work, fair play and good feeling
throughout the game Johnnie Nc
Pherson and Arthur Reynolds acted as
official Jumps" and no kick was heard
on either side.
The final score was IA to z and ev-
eryone was pleased with the showing
made.
The boys wish to thank the public
for their support and urge everyone to
boost the team and take an interest
in 81. S. athletics as they need your
boosting as well as loosening of the
purse strings for financial support.

Court Session IS the
Shortest Ever Held
April Term Lasts Only Two Days,
Tries Only One Criminal -
s Case Ii.>-s

The April term of court, which
closed last Wednesday, has gone on
record as the shortest term ever held
in Redwood Falls, lasting only two
days. There was only one case tried
before the jury, that of George Greve
against G.. M. Halves. The question
was one of disputed wages and the
plaintiff was given $4S.75.
The case of Mary Red Cloud against
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Jones, and the
case of Frank Masek against Agnes
Currie were laid over for later trial.
By the plaintiffs request the case of
H. d. Barnes against Ella NJ. Walter
was dismissed
The grand jury, with VIM. Mack of
Belview as foreman brought an indict-
ment against Frank Kleeb for COM
pounding crime. Kleeb was sent to
the penitentiary on an indeterminate
sentence.
Henry Hakselbuck of Lamberton
was also indicted for having taken
money from the till of F. Fl. Nepper-
MAINS butcher shop. This case was
carried over to the next term of court.
The case of JOS. r. Keefe against
w. G. Starr and DR.. VIM. Brand came
before the grand jury also. The jury
stood eleven for an Indictment, which
was therefore lost by one vote.
The jury also Investigated the Offices
Of the court house and the Jail. They
recommended few improvements
such as work on the roof of the Jail
and the enlargement of the vault in
the Register of Deeds office.

o. S. DUNHAM SURPRISED (?)

Mr.. and Mrs. o. S. Durham enter
tanned at cards last Friday evening,
in honor of Mr.. Dunham's birthday an
niversary. Thirty guests were pres
ent and managed to give the fine new
home thorough house warming. A
three course luncheon was served,
after which the four talented must
clans present charmingly entertained
the guests. 1t was a complete sur
prise to many present to learn that H.
A. Baldwin possesses such rare ca
skill as pianist, although every one
knew that Messrs. Weldon and Barnes,
as well as the host, are par excellence
as violinists. Some of the guests
wished to dance but this giddiness was
tactfully suppressed by Mr.. Baldwin.
The guests were: Messrs. and Mes
danes, Barnes, Weldon, Geo. Wells,
Ira Reynolds, H. Jackson, Grapp, Bald
win. Lobdell, Sanders and Roberts,
Mesdames Schildknecht, Luscher and
Wilson; Miss Friese, Messrs. Friese
and Geo. Davis. Mr.. Durham was
presented with large thermos bottle
and six aluminium cups. The only
drawback in the evenings pleasure was
that Mrs. Luscher and Mr.. Weldon
plotted against the rest of the COM
pany by refusing to change partners
at cards or play elsewhere than at the
head table, thereby each winning =
handsome bouquet of carnations.

Farmers Matinee
at Redwood Dream
Business Men of Redwood Falls Aided
By Chas. Huntsberry Will Enter
tain Friends
FIRST PROGRAM SATURDAY
Farmers With Wives And Children
Are Asked To Come at One
O'clock

Beginning with next Saturday after
noon, there will be series of matinee
programs at the Dream for the bene-
fit and pleasure of the farmers, their
wives and their children.
Because of very generous offer
made by Chas. Huntsberry, manager
of The Dream, the business men of
the city are able to provide this en-
joyment for their friends from the
country. The time for these matinees
has been put in the afternoon because
so many people out of town find it i'm
possible to get in to the evening pro-
gram. Also, it was felt that an hours
rest while watching the pictures, would
be gratefully received by men and
their wives who put in hard after
moons work at shopping.
The time for the program next Sat
urday has been set for one o'clock and
it viii close at two. This may be
changed later If the convenience of the
farmers requires it 1t viii necessi-
tate little hustling on the part of
the housewife to get dinner over SO
that the family may all be here on
time, but it is more than worth the
effort.
Remember Mr.. Farmer this is Your
matinee and Yours only. You will be
entertained at The Dream as guests
of the citizens of Redwood Falls from
one o'clock until two, with absolutely
no charge of admission. Should any
of the residents of the city wish to
attend, they win pay the usual price Of
admission But the door viii stand
wide open for You. Walk in and take
. seat-but before you do that, be sure
you haven't forgotten to bring the wife
and children. They'll enjoy it i'm
mensely.

DIR. ROGERS TALKS ON EUGENICS
Head of Faribault Institution Tells
Mems Club Many Startling Facts
Of Interest

"Eugenics and Youthenics, or the
Improvement of the Human Race by
Intelligent Breeding was the theme
of the lecture given by DIR. A.. c. Rog-
ers, superintendent of the Home for
Feeble Minded at Faribault, before
the meeting of the Mems Club in the
dining room of the Methodist church
Friday evening.
The lecture from the standpoint of
instructiveness was probably one of
the most valuable ever given before an
assembly in this city.
With the aid of carefully prepared
charts the lecturer expounded facts to
his audience that will in all probability
remain with them for some time to
come. What was considered by the
audience to be one of the most inter-
esting points in his talk, was the ex-
PLANTATION of a system that is now pre-
valent at the institution at Faribault.
Families who contribute two or more
children to the institution are looked
up for the purpose of tracing their
family history. Invariably the re-
suits prove that tainted stock" is re-
sponsible for the family's contribution.
This system of investigation by the
state is most searching In it's methods
and most affective in the results it OBJ
tains. On it are based the hopes the
institution has of arousing people to a
realization of the seriousness of inter-
marriage or criminal marriages.
DR.. Rogers warned the younger gen.
Grafton to be careful in choosing a
life mate. 1--WE cannot prevent mar
riage between people who commit a
crime by marrying" he stated; 1--WE
can only get the results of these mar
riages and then go out and show them
to the people,"
In his discourse the lecturer empha-
sized the urgent need of some legisla-
tive enactment authorizing the steril-
ization of all degenerates, imbeciles
and vicious criminals. He emphasized
this as salutary measure for pro-
noting the health and happiness of the
human race.
Children at the ages of five, six,
and seven require the most careful
attention" said the speaker, "for NOR
| atty is rarely matter of habit until
child reaches the age of seven. At
the age of 10, child's mental capacity
is complete. From that period moral
conduct depends largely upon what the
child's moral training has been. 1t is
also then that any inherited faults are
most apt to manifest themselves"
The speaker said that according to
recent investigation, two per cent of
all school children are feeble minded
or defective for various reasons. He
sounded a warning to parents to be
careful of their childrens' eye sight.
AT Faribault few days ago." said
the Doctor, "a child came to school
with a new pair of glasses and for
the first time saw objects in the room
that it had never known were there
While DR.. Rogers is not a fluent
speaker, he is entirely practical and
intensely In earnest. His discourse
proved ne had made a thorough study
OF this vital subject, and realized that
there was still much to be done before
humanity reaps the benefit it needs so
sorely.

Master Frank Merwin was accident ally shot in the forehead Wednesday with toy air gun, but fortunately was not seriously hurt. The bullet struck him square in the forehead, and glanced or bounded out, raising a black and blue place, and becoming quite sore to the touch. And this re- minds us that lately there have been a number of boys on the streets with air guns or other guns shooting birds, at marks, and one thing and another, and in violation of law, and perhaps endangering theI lives or eyesight of others. Had the ball from this gun struck Frank Merwin in the eye or the temple, or any place else except on a bone, it would perhaps have injured him for life, and might have resulted fatally. Parents should not allow their children to carry or shoot any kind of a gun in the city limits, because it is dangerous and it is in violation of the ordinance: and if the boys persist in doing so, then the marshal will have to take them before his honor and see II 1t can be stopped. We hear consid- erable complaint about this reckless shooting of air guns, rifles, etc, in town, and it ought to be and will be stopped.
