formed the Supt. Of Races, Judge A.
c. Dolliff, that the horse would posi-
lively be here tonight, and Sir Conan
Doyle, who is being shipped from Ga
lena, Ill. He left Galena Sunday and
should get to Redwood Falls tonight
or early tomorrow. Sir Conan Doyle,
who has a pace record of 2:19A, is
owned by the clerk of court and the
sheriff of Grant County, Wisconsin,
and is driven in the races by the
sheriff.
Happy Heart Here
Three year old Happy Heart, whom
rumor said yesterday would not be
here, was being tried out on the track
early this morning and apparently
enjoying it as much as ever. This is
Happy Hearts third appearance at
the Redwood County fairs, he having
made his first appearance at a very
young and tender age. He is still
young, but he has been showing the
aged horses at Des Moines, Sioux
City and Huron, just what he can do.
At Sioux City Happy Heart came out
second in a $1,000 stake against aged
horses; at Huron he won $500 stake
and at Des Moines he won the solid
silver racing trophy, now on display
in the Asleson show window. Happy
Heart is owned and driven by J. Fl.
MCGOWAN Of Morton.
J. J. Logan of Morton, also is here
with his black horse DR.. Hannawalt.
The Doctor will start in both the 10
pace and the rs pace.
Dicky C. of Morgan
Another horse that is creating a
great deal of local interest is Dicky
G, owned by Forest Croker of Nor
gan. Dicky went to the Renville fair
at Bird Island, and won in three
straight heats. His record is 2:O7A.
Many Other Favorites
Sunshine and Dad Mix, both State
Fair winners, Seal, the little favorite
OF last year, and little Miss Parkwood
are all eager for the fray. Miss Park
wood is the daintiest of two year
olds, owned and exhibited by X. j.
Midboof Huron, S. D. Miss Park
wood will probably be given a half
mile exhibition in which she will run
against her record. Mr.. Midbo also
owns and drives The Sheriff, beau
tiful chestnut, who was second at
Hamline with record of 2:07A.
Track in Fine Form
All the horsemen declare the track
to be in splendid condition and pre-
dict lively contest. The purses are
larger than ever before and the en-
tries are more numerous and much
faster than those of last year.

Successful S. S.
Convention Here
County Organization Holds Best Meet
ing in Its History at Presbyterian
Church Sunday

The Sunday School Convention held
Sunday was the greatest success of
any in the county's history. 1t was
not only the largest in attendance,
but the splendid spirit throughout all
the sessions made it a fellowship
meeting as well. When Mr.. Locker
asked for pledges to support the work
at the afternoon meeting it took no
persuasion whatever to raise $4,000
for the work. In fact much more
would have been raised had he given
the delegates little more time. No
free-will offerings were taken at any
but the. last session. The prediction
that County Convention or Sunday
School Convention of any kind would
be failure in Redwood Falls did not
hold true.
All the credit for the success of
the convention is due to the faithful
work of Miss Adsit. who worked un-
complainingly planning that the work
might be a success.
The evening meeting was held in
the Christian Church as the attends
ance was 50 large that it was inn

Hutchinson came to town last Sat

defeated overwhelmingly by a score
of 45 to 0.
The game Saturday opened up the
"at-home" season for the Redwood
Falls high school team. When the
boys filed out on to the field shortly
after two o'clock there was a cham
pionship confidence in teir stride and
grim glory in anticipation of the COM
ing fray in their countenances. For
sixty long minutes from the time the
whistle blew they fought the good
fight, leaving the field visions OF
greater fame than that won by last
years team.
The game itself need not be des-
cribed in detail, but there are some
parts which will leave a lasting I'M
preston in the memory of the big

Captain Oliver Steele winning the

in defense of the west goal. The long
line of Hutchinson Drawn, stretched
out behind the ball, seemed to have
formidable advantage in weight. The

Henry eastman
GrowsF fifteen Inch
Yellow Dent Corn

Two ears of yellow Dent corn meas
uring nearly fifteen inches each, were
brought to The Gazette Office this
morning by Henry eastman. Mr..
eastman moved last spring from Iowa
to the old Quarton farm near Delhi,
and brought seed corn ripened on his
Iowa farm with him. Neighbors adj
vised him to plant only Minnesota
grown seed and so Mr.. eastman
planted only fourteen acres out OF
the ninety he planted with corn, with
the Iowa seed. Now he regrets not
having planted the entire field with
he same seed, and certainly the two
ears shown justify Mr.. Cashman's
confidence in the lows product. The
ears are straight, full-kerneled from
tip to butt and have small cobs-ap-
parently as good corn as could be
grown anywhere.
Mr.. eastman believes Minnesota i:
fully as good a corn-growing state a:
Iowa, and is delighted with the STATE

the number of exhibits, the attend

program. The directors of the Red
wood County Agricultural Associa-

Stensvad, have carefully arranged all
details with view to the entertain
ment and education of their guests,
and judging from the appearance to-
day their efforts are bound to meet
with success.
Thursday Children's Day
At its final meeting held last night,
the Board designated Thursday as
School Children's Day. All school
children of the County will be ad-
mitted to the grounds free, if they
are accompanied by a parent or some
older person. Schools will be closed

Founder of Sears-Roebuck Mail Order House
Died Yesterday Morning at Sanitoriun
at Waukesha, Wisconsin
Visited Redwood Three Weeks Ago
Financier Got Inspiration for Big Enterprise
While Station A gent at North Redwood;
Many Land Interests in County

Late yesterday afternoon Redwood
Falls friends of Richard w. Sears,
founder of Sears. Roebuck and Co., Of
Chicago were shocked to learn Of his
sudden death. which occurred yester-
day morning at about four o'clock.
The body was brought to Minneap-
oils today and interment will be made
in Lakewood cemetery tomorrow, fun
eral services being held at the home
of his mother, Mrs. J. w. Sears, at
1892 Second Avenue S. Minneapolis.
In company with Mrs. Sears, Mr..
Sears had gone to the sanitorium at
Waukesha, Wis, for rest, Or a few
days loaf" as he wrote to his secre-
tary. Saturday he and Mrs. Sears
drove by motor to Milwaukee, spent
several hours during which Mr.. Sears
transacted some business and returned
to Waukesha late Saturday afternoon.
Mr.. Sears was apparently in the best
+ health and seemed to greatly en-
Joy the trip. Full particulars of his
illness were not learned save that the
sudden death was supposedly the out
come of Brights disease.
Started at North Redwood
Mr.. Sears was born at Spring Val
ley, Mimi, ffty-one years ago. As
a boy he was intensely interested in
telegraphy and railroads, gained a
thorough knowledge Of the former and
worked at North Redwood as station
agent from 1880 to 1882.
1t was not long before he became
dissatisfied with his salary and en-
gagged in the fuel business on the side.
He was soon making more than his
salary in his side line. The mail Or
der came to him as it did to hundreds
of others but he saw the possibilities.
First Took Up Watches
For good ieweled watches of stan
dard make, with nickel case, railroad
men were paying $40. Sears one day
sent for q watch at lower price, said
to be a good time keeper. He received
the watch, a good one and the house
sending it suggested that he sell some
of them to other railroad men.
S2OO Profit On First Order
That night he sent Il letter to man.
facturer asking for a price in selling
,lots on "a watch that would give the
service of the kind selling for $40.
IL
Immediately railroad men along the
line were asked if they would buy
such watch for $11.90 with the priv
lege of examination. Enough men
wanted that watch to make Sears a
Brofit of 5000 on his first order.
Moved to Chicago
That was the beginning of his great
mail order business. He gave up his
Job at North Redwood and moved tC
Minneapolis, where he rented part OF
building and continued his watch
business. The business enlarged and ir
1890 it was big enough to warrant
opening Chicago branch. Then the
nanch became the main office and il
1891 the concern was moved to Chi
cage. There Mr. Sears formed part.
nership with A. w. Roebuck and the
firm continued to sell watches.
Added Line of Merchandise
With the coming of hard times il

How to Destroy
