VALIDITY OF AN old
LAW WILL Be TESTED
DISTRICT ATTORNEY DISKIN
FILES SUIT AGAINST EN-
PRESS COMPANY

To test the validity of an old state
law requiring carriers of bullion to
pay a special license of $3.50 a year,
the state of Nevada, through District
Attorney NJ. A. Diskin, has instituted
suit in the district court against the
Wells Fargo Express company.
The suit is to GOV the license
for the quarter beginning January
l.. 1913, up to which time the COM
pany paid the assessment without
question. Since that time it has de-
clined to pay the license in any of the
counties in which it operates in this
state, claiming that it is unconstitu-
tional.

One of the best features of the

before the people in most realistic
way, the best of literature and the
big events in the worlds history.
Redwood Falls has had some espe-

future. Next week Friday and Sat-

With this historical setting Lytton

Gas Ready to Use
By Middle Of July
Plans Rapidly Being Perfected For
Giving City Best Fuel AT Rea-
sonable Rates
CARDS WORTH GOOD MONEY
r. F.Wherland Ready to Start Oper-
asions If Householders Wish
Use of Gas

If the people Of Redwood Falls so
desire there is no reason why house
wives shall not be using that clean
est ard best of fuels, Gas, by the
middle of July. This week R. F.
Wherland is distributing circulars and
information concerning the plant and
if a sufficiently large number of
householders express desire for gas
to be used for cooking purposes, the
plant will probably be started in the
very near future.
Mr. Wherland has the greatest con-
fdence in his scheme to furnish the
fuel to the city at reasonable rate,
the rate depending directly upon the
number of persons who decide to use
the product. Gas has many advan-
tages as a fuel, chief among these
being its great cleanliness being with
out either SCOT or odor the rapidity
with which it heats and the readiness
with which the user has access to it.
If it can be furnished at a reasonable
rate to the consumer it makes the
most desirable fuel for use in the
home for cooking and laundry pur-
poses.
Attached to the circulars which
Mr.. Wherland will distribute this week
are cards each worth one dollar in
value on the first gas bill of the hold
er Four or five hundred of these
will be distributed and the proposition
thoroughly explained. These circu-
lars contain a good deal of valuable
information and should be carefully
studied by all those interested.

Still Believe Redwood
Best Trading Station
Merchants Positive Morton Can't I'm
derseil on Goods of Equal
Quality
Redwood Customers Demand The
Best; Cheap Goods Actual Drug
on The Market

The Morton Enterprise again tried
to talk prices and in it's issue of last
week said lot of things that didn't
prove anything except that if Morton
grocers are selling goods as listed
they are handling such cheap quality
groceries that they couldn't do bust
ness in Redwood Falls at all. One
of our grocers assured US this MORN
ing he was the possessor of several.
cases of canned corn and peas which
he would gladly dispose of at three
cans for twenty-five cents. But his
customers demand the best brands
and highest qualities, SO such cheap
goods are a drug on the market. &c
Is a notable fact that in taking inven-
tory from year to year our grocers
as well as our dry goods merchants,
find it is the cheap goods that remain
on the shelves; the good goods sell
readiest and have to be ordered most
frequently. AS for canned salmon
at eight cents per can-well, it would
be just as impossible to sell that at
Redwood Falls as to eat it after it
had been sold. We have liking for
real salmon here-not carp.
Harking back to the same mooted
sugar question, we are told by citi-
zen of Morton that when the price
was cut there were just Two sacks of
sugar in the store. 1t pays to adj
vertisei The merchant got rid of
those two sacks almost immediately.
And as for -four; none of our deal
ers has ever quoted special prices on
-four, so there can he no comparison
between specials. The prices Morton
refers to were regular prices, of
course.
AS our readers know, it is not The
Gazette's policy to publish matter
that has not news value or to indulge
in long harangues Of this nature. We
have done this in common justice -
Our merchants and promise not To
encroach on your good nature in this
respect again.

Claude W. Street
To Become Head
Glencoe Schools
Redwood Falls To Loose Very Able
Superintendent of Public Schools
SALARY MATERIALLY RAISED
Glencoe Gives Two Years Contract
With Salary Increase Each
Year

Claude w. Street, who for the past
two years has been the superintendent
of the schools of Redwood Falls, has
accepted a two year contract as super
intendent of the schools at Glencoe.
The offer made to Mr.. Street was one
of such good salary and presented
SO many possibilities of advancement
that he felt he would be missing a
splendid opportunity if he did not ac-
cept.
Glencoe has splendidly equipped
school which is supported in part by
an endowed fund making it financial
ly one Of the best schools in the state
as it is educationally. Its scientific
apparatus alone was purchased at
cost of $4,000 and it boasts library
of several thousand volumes.
While Mr.. Street is to be congra-
tulated on this splendid position which
his work here so amply justifies, Red
wood Falls will feel keenly the loss
of his leadership in educational mat
tiers, and the high School and its
students will especially regret his de-
parture.. During his two years here
Mr.. Street has accomplished marve-
lous things in the advancement Of the
school and been a genuine and per-
sonal inspiration to every pupil with
WHOM he has come in contact. The
school has increased greatly in both
the humber Of pupils enrolled and the
the extension of it's influence. 1t is
natter of grave regret that the
question Of salary should deprive Red
Wooa Falls of superintendent 80
admirably suited to its individual
needs as is Mr.. Street. Frequent
char es fn the heads of institutions
are always direct cause of greater
or less deterioration and particular
! ly- 4, when the leader SO thoroughly
understands the peculiar needs OF the
institution as does Mr.. Street.
1t is extremely unfortunate II the
policy of economy is carried to the
extreme in the salaries of members
of the teaching corps as it necessita-
ties frequent changes and the loss OF
very able instructors. The biggest
thing about Redwood Falls is her
public school system and the ques-
ton of funds should be made entire
ly secondary when the question is
one Of the schools good.

THE GRIPPE

A snag-toothed fend with nut
pick hands
Bites, claws and rakes my mas
told glands,
And just inside my bursting
eyes
Some redhot stoves are baking
It is not housemaid's knee or
pip;
The doctor says: 'It's only
grippe!"
Two negroes, fearing they'll be
lynched,
Five gangsters, fearing they'll
be pinched,
With spiked shoes on, run up
and down
My Uranium from base to crown;
Through all my stretched and
aching veins
Mad motormen run subway
trains,
While on my chest a camel lies
And stares at me with fiery
eyes,
A restless camel, i'll at ease,
Who kneads my heart beneath
his knees;
New York Sun.

that Harry Kendall Thaw must be de-

to be tried on the charge of con-
spiracy to break out of Matteawan in

Some of the best legal talent in the
country has been fighting for months
to prevent his extradition to New
York. Extradition was ordered by the
governor of New Hampshire, but Fed
eral District Judge Aldrich granted
Thaw a write of habeas corpus. This
action of the court was reversed by
the supreme court on Monday.
The decision of the court was
unanimous and was read by Justice
Holmes. 1t held that the writ of
habeas corpus did not lie, and sus-
tanned the contention of William
Travers Jerome at every point Thaw
cannot be taken back for thirty days
under the decision on Monday. Thir-
ty days must elapse before the courts
mandate is handed down, and he can
not be removed to New York before
that time.
The next move in the case is for the
New York authorities to take. 1t has
been said the state does not intend
to prosecute Thaw, but will return
him at once to Matteawan.

done, he said, after having been ad.

nations would be a violation both in
