WE DIDN'T SAY 1T,

The Minneapolis Tribune of Mon
days, quotes the following statement
and credits it to the Redwood Ga
zette. We disclaim all knowledge of
it. Is it possible we have taken to
writing editorial paragraphs in our
sleep? If we are going to do this
often, we hope well write things we
can agree with in the searching light
of day.
"The coming Legislature should
either repeal the non-partisan feature
of the present Primary Law or amend
the law so as to take in all state Of
fcers, and the term of Office should
be four years, at the end Of which
they should be forever barred from
holding another state office"

Man Found SUNDAY:
Dead Three Weeks
Stranger at LambertOn Commits Sui
eide By Shooting; Apparently Was
Victim of Hallucination
WEAPON NOT FOUND
Indications Ale That Death Occurred
About Three Weeks Ago; Fear Is
Probable Motive For Deed

The body OF a man who had evil
IDENTIFY. been dead about three weeks,
was found at Lamberton Sunday af-
ternoon. in the bushes near the river
The only means of Identification was
card issued by a Chicago casualty
company, bearing the name of Leo
pold Bishop. County Attorney Ener-
son communicated with this company
and they reply that their records
showed a beneficiary by that name
living at Denver. The deceased was
a laborer, who had worked for short
time on the gravel train on the Black
and Yellow Trail near Lamberton.
Nothing more than that was known
of him there.
In the pockets of his clothing was
found a 1914 diary in which had been
kept very complete personal account
of work done, wages, expenses, etc.
Also there were several packages If
letters unaddrcssed which apparently
contained memoranda of personal
nature. The gist of these letters
showed the dead man to have been
the victim of Authorizations the chief
of these being a great fear of "the
Fortune Tellers."
One entry in the diary dated Octo-
Der "a is as follows, "this ends me
on account of the Fortune Tellers a
following me. They drove me to do
it,
Death was caused by a gun wound,
and those who investigated are posi-
tive that the man committed suicide,
probably placing the gun in his mouth
and firing as the only wound is where
the bullet came out above the left ear.
Physicians estimate death occurred
three weeks ago, which would coincide
with the last entry made in the diary
showing the fear under which the man
lived. Throughout the notes found, the
English, writing and spelling showed
the victim to be man of considerable
education, and the only indication OF
insanity is the dread of the Fortune
Tellers. Bishops clothing was gooa
and he wore monogramed ring ana
a locket of considerable value

Three Big Nights
Company of Twenty-Five People to
Present Three Musical Comedies

THE PAINLESS PRICE" PLAYERS
Thursday, His Highness The Bey;"

Saturday, "The Pink Widow

Redwood Falls has a fondness for
fun, good looking women well-dressed,
and spicy music. This fondness IN
all it's branches is to be gratified for
three successive nights this week,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, when
O-For-H Heavens Sake Clamage and his
Jolly troupe Of twenty-five comedians
bring the three sprighly productions
for which they are booked, to the Ar
mory.
Thursday night this company pres

jectives that may rightfully be ap-
piled are side-splitting and riproaring.
Honestly, it's really awfully funny,
Friday night the presentation is The
Girl From Luxembourg" and Saturday
night the cream of the three produc-
tions "The Pink Widow"
The Clamage players are bigger
and better company than often comes
to Redwood Falls, and still they play
at painless Prices" nothing higher
than fifty cents. This is made pos
sible because the company makes moth

thereby has less expense than the
smaller companies. The entire cast
numbers twenty-five persons includ-
ing an excellent chorus of ten girls.
At WATERFOWL where the Clamage
Players played last week, the public
1 demanded a second performance OF
His Highness The Bey, finding the
one appearance did not satisfy them.

A Press Opinion
The Watnrtown Daily Opinion, in
speaking of His Highness The Bey,
devotes a half column of space to a
real appreciation of the play, among
other things saying:
"The bill was the musical comedy,

fyangelists Now
Hard at Work at
Christian Church
DIR. j. L. Thompson And Company of
Four Making Great Sensation at
the Christian Church This Week

The Evangelistic meetings began
in power Sunday. The evangelist
preached wonderful soul-stirring SER
mons both morning and evening. Dr.
Thompson was the successor of Har-
old Bell, Wright in his Kansas City
pulpit; and those who were students
of that great author realized Sunday
how that came about. DR.. Thompson
has the same deep philosophy, the
same clear insight into human feel
ing and the same precision and kind
illness of judgment as the great author
whom so many people have learned
to love.
In his Interpretation of the Living
Water Sunday evening DR.. Thompson
took his hearers to the mountainous,
pictured how the mind of man planned
to draw the waters from the noun
tains to bring to life the arid deserts;
then, in burst of Spiritual vision, he
drew a clear presentation of how
Jesus Christ brought the Living Wa
ter of Gods love down among sinful
men to regen crate their hearts; and
as water naturally seeks its level, so
does Gods Living Water, in the ac-
ton of returning to the Source, lift
mems lives out of sin into the King
dom of Jesus Christ.
Watson is leading the chorus in a
way that is delight to all. Mrs.
Watson is pleasing in the singing and
is very strong among children. She
has them 1T the church in Bible drill
every afternoon at four o'clock. There
is special attraction, not previous
ly advertised, in Mr.. Roy Jarman, Boy
Baritone. If you hear him once you
will come again. Every night except
Sunday. All seats are free.

Man Is Frozen By
Cold of Sunday
Tom O'Brien of Lucan, Made Help
less by Intoxication; Dies
From Exposure

Tom O'Brier, a vagrant, who has
been spending the time recently in
early Monday morning, and Coroner
Brey declared death to be due to ex-
posture to cold. O'Brien was in q
badly intoxicated state Sunday and
had evidently been unable to get I'M
der shelter. He was man fifty
years of age and apparently without
family or friends.
This is the first case of death from
freezing in the state so far this fall.
While the cold Sunday night was Sc
we're, it was not severe enough to
cause the death of any one not made
helpless by liquor.

Redwood County
Holds A Splendid
Teachers Meeting
S. J. Race Gives Two Scholarly And
Instructive Addresses; Miss Carney
Solves Some Problems
WANT NEW BUILDING
One Hundred Fifty Teachers Attend
Institute; Are Hospitality Enter
tanned by Redwood People

The County Teachers Institute held
here last Friday and Saturday was
very successful one, both in the
numbers attending and the work ac-
complished. There were hundred
fifty people present, practically every
teacher in Redwood County being
here.
The forenoon of Friday was spent
by the teachers in visiting the vari-
Gus rooms of the grade schools. Fri
day afternoon Miss Wilson, the State
Librarian addressed the teachers on
the practical use of the library in the
school, and County Agent Neil gave
a short agricultural address. Follow
ing Mr.. Neil, S. J. Race of Minneap-
oils. gave stirring talk on Fits and
Misfts, which was intensely practical
as we'll as entertaining, and full OF
helpful suggestions to the teachers.
Friday evening was devoted to Mr..
Races address at the Methodist
Church. This was one OF the most
scholarly addresses made in Redwood
Falls for some time, and showed Mr..
Races talent as deep thinker as
we'll as a fluent speaker. Mr.. Race
chose as his theme the superiority OF
the present ages over the past ages,
and proved his optimistic view by IL
lutrations from ancient MEDIEVAL and
modern history.
Saturday morning Miss Schumach-
err. teacher In the second grade, gave
two very interesting and Instructive
model lessons in language and read
ing Both lessons showed Miss Schu-
macher's splendid ability as teacher
and were excellent models to be FOL
lowed by the teachers.
Mrs. Pratt, County Superintendent,
talked to the ,eachers about the neces-
sitv of a new school exhibit building
on the fair grounds and found all the
teachers including those of the graded
and high schools anxious that sucn a
building be erected and willing to help
to defray the expense. The plan pro-
posed is that each teacher should
pledge her school to raise ten dol
lars to be paid within the next two
wears: the coming year if possible
The money Is to be earned by the
pupils and teachers. The formal ses-
sions of the rsttute closed with an
excellent talk on the problems of rural
school teachers by Miss Carney, SUI
perintendent Of the State Normal
Training classes. Miss Carney charmed
her audience IS well as instructed 1t
and her address was an inspiration
to all hearing it.

Judge Disposes
of Several Cases
Last Week Has Been Busy One For
Judge Olson and Jurors; Session
To Close This Week

District Court is still in session and
will probably continue for the most
of this week. In addition to the cases
heard before, several interesting cases
have been brought up for trial with
in the last week. A case of consid-
cradle local interest was the ]. Alfred
Johnson VS.. A. j. White case in which
a verdict of S520.S3 was given for
the plaintiff.
In the case OF the Boushek Broth
ers against tha Chicago, Northwest
ern Railway, the plaintiff was given
verdict of 1925. The plaintiff con-
tended that poultry shipped over the
C. &. N. W. R. R. by them was spoiled
before it reached its destination.
The two suits for damage in each
of which the plaintiff was woman,
have been tried. In the Christensen
Boushek ca Sc verdict of S74S.15 for
the plaintiff was brought in by the
jury this morning. The Francis Kol-
Ter VS.. Thomas Fletcher case was on
trial today.
Chas. Filkins was given a verdict
for S1.00, n the case against the
Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Co.
The Dodd & Struthers VS.. Fl. F. Hop
fenspirger case was settled.
The last case to come up for trial
will be the Southworth-W White case,
which viii probably be reached Thurs
day or Friday.

Girlville-a pleasant, alluring little
hamlet on the road to the tablelands

connects with the Old Maid range of
foothills.
At one time this place depended al
most entirely upon nature for its ap-
pearance. Bucolic colOrs were FREEDOM
inant, and there was simplicity about
it very pleasing and restful to the eye.
OF late years, however, the city paint
ers and decorators have come in and
with their colors have given it a smart,
artificial appearance, which for many
old fashioned people has largely cur
tailed its charm. Girlville, indeed. now
has a reputation for cheap display
which no other place can hope to rival.
Girlvills at one time was governed
almost entirely by an eminently re-
spectacle body called elders, but it
has long since scornfully discarded
their help and governs itself. or. at
least. claims the right to do so.
Its principal industries are ragtime.
fiction. silk stockings. velvet slippers
and red paint. There is also large
spoon factory on the edge of the town.
An appeal to the legislature to have
the name Girlville changed to Chat.

Chatterville and Girlville are already
synonymous.
