furter of Renville County opened
their large home to the people
of the parish last Saturday even
ing, giving a benefit card party,
the proceeds of which went to
the Church. Cards were played
at nine tables. Eighteen people
from Redwood Falls were among
the guests and are loud in the
praise Of the hospitality shown
them. An elaborate luncheon
was served by Mrs. Schweinfur-
ter and was excellent proof of
her skill in producing good
things to eat. Mrs. VIM. Kelly
won the head prize at cards and

About twelve dollars was earned
for the church.

Committee Ready
to Arrange for
Summer Races
Plans Are to Have Midsummer
Race Meet and July Fourth
Celebration
WILL TALK 1T OVER
Committee of Five Energetic
Ones to Meet Business Men to
Discuss Proposition

It has been suggested that
Redwood Falls have mid-sllm-
nler race-meet to be held at the
county fair grounds, and the
matter was thoroughly discussed
dt the meeting of the CONNER
cial Club Monday evening. 1t
is believed that such a meet can
be most successfully held and
that the event can be very well
carried out as the essential part
of rousing Fourth of July
celebration.
Pres. Ira Reynolds of the
Commercial Club has appointed
a committee of five of the lead
ing citizens of the city, to find
out the sentiments Of the busl-
ness people upon the matter and
to ascertain what support, finan-
cial and moral will be given the
project. The committee consists
of A. D. McRae, G. A. Schild-
knecht, R. A. Cooper, A. L. Sar-
Chef and A. S. Kenney. The
Gazette suggests that when The
Boys" call at the various places
of business on their errand of
hope, that they be met with a
cheerful smile, few words OF
blessing and hearty hand
shake that will necessitate the
.loosening of grip on the bust
ness mans wallet. No one can
give a real, frst-class, Teddy
Roosevelt handshake and hold
fast to his roll at the same time.
The race-meet would be an ex-
cellent advertisement for the
city, for the county fair and a
Jolly good time for everyone and
should have the undivided sup
port If the .townsmen. In the
middle of the summer it would
be possible to get the best hor-
ses in the state.

Officer Disappeared

No word has been received as
to the whereabouts Of County
Auditor John Kelley of Luverne,
who disappeared from that city
several weeks ago. Kelly was
known to be slightly mentally
unbalanced at times, but he
transacted his business in the
county office and his movements
were watched. He started out
for a walk and was followed out
into the country. His shadow"
went into a house to telephone
for assistance and when he re-
turned to take up the trail Kel-
ley had disappeared. That was
the last seen of him. It is not
known whether he left Luverne
or is dead under the snow at
some point along the highway.
A complete search was made for
miles but not the slightest clue
was unearthed.

TO Install Plant
Owner of Light And Power Plant
to Give City Heating by
Next Season

A. C. Burmeister, owner of
the Redwood Falls Light and
Power Plant, last week an
nounced his intention of supply
ing Redwood Falls business
houses with steam for heating
purposes. Extra equipment nee
essary to the carrying out of
the plans was ordered last De-
cember and should be in the city
within a short time. Mr.. Bur-
meister's franchise for the city
covers heating as we'll as light
ing and the work of installation
can begin as soon as the equip
ment arrives.
Pipes will be laid from the
Light and Power Plant to the
business section and connected
with radiators in the various
buildings. The exhaust steam
will be used with additional live
steam when necessary. The
route of the pipes has not been
definitely decided yet, but sur
vey will be made within short
time.
The plant can be installed by
Mr.. Burmeister easily and cheap
ly because Of his present plant
and the cost to consumers
should be low enough to make
the scheme entirely practicable,
Mr.. Burmeister states posi-
lively that he will 60 ahead with
the installing of his heating
plant and have it ready for use
at the beginning of the next
cold season.

Mrs. ". D. Lines Is
Enjoying the West
Writes of Damage Done by
Floods And Snow Slides, But
Finds Climate Pleasant 10

A Redwood Falls friend of
Mrs. w. D. Lines received an in-
teresting letter last week from
which the following paragraphs
are taken. Mr.. and Mrs. Lines
are at present at Hotel Rosslyn,
Los Angeles.
"This certainly is a paradise
to people from cold climate and
we are enjoying it to the full,
after the taste of winter before
we left home There are just
as many people here from the
cold climates east as there were
last winter and a very happy
and sociable company they are.
We have met lot Of old friends
here who used to live in Red
wood county and the usual Min
nesota picnic will be next Sat-
urday, and all we have not seen,
will certainly be there. The peo-
pie here look with anxious pleas
ure for that happy day.
81 received the Gazette yes
terday with its accounts of snow
drifts six and eight feet high
and usual cold-and we could
appreciate more fully California.
'The heavy rains have done
lots of damage in the low places
here-and when we came
through we had to be transferred
from the Union Pacific R. R. to
the Santa Fe route at San Ber-
nardino, and we were six hours
late, but every precaution was
taken to prevent accidents and
since we came through the roads
have had greater difficulties. but
not as much as on the northern
routes. My sister at Seattle
writes Of the deep snow and cold
and the papers give accounts of
buildings and cottages breaking
down with the heavy snow, and
this morning Of serious snow
slides covering cottages on the
hill sides.
"The cold has been general
from east to west this winter,
but just like spring in Los An
geles-that is since we have
been here. Yesterday some la
dies were out with thin white
waists and no wraps, and Mr..
Lines has not worn his overcoat
but a few times since we came.
We thought before we came here
the most of the people had gone
to Florida and other southern
states, but we are told there are
more here this time of year than
last year, regardless of the great
er expense"

R. F. WherIand
Is Given Support
Business Houses of Redwood
Falls Subscribe S4.700 to Cen
trail Heating Plant

r. F. Wherland has been busy
the past week getting additional
subscribers to his proposition
for installing a central heating
plant and now has S4.7OO prom
ised with the tentative promise
of several more large buildings
such as the Armory, the court
house, etc.
M. Wherland has an option
on the F. w. Philbrick lot oppo-
site the Kahler Hotel, the lot
44x120 feet next to the alley be-
ing held for him at $4,000. This
will give the heating plant a
central location and should add
materially to the efficiency of
the service. A survey of the
streets of the business section
was started Monday and Mr..
Wherland expects to begin the
work of construction as soon as
the council grants him a fran
chise.
Mr.. Wherland states that his
company will be supported and
controlled entirely by the bust
ness people of Redwood Falls
and will be run on a profit shar-
ing basis whereby every user of
heat from the plant will be bene-
flied either directly or Indirectly.
Mr.. Wherland states positive
ly that he will go ahead with the
installing of his heating plant
and have it ready for use at the
beginning of the next cold sea-
son.

Last Lecture Number

The last number Of the 1915
lecture course will be given at
the Armory Friday evening, Feb
ruary 25, at the Armory. Will
liam Sterling BATHS will give
life portrayals of the famous
characters from Dickens novels.
All representations given by Mr..
BATHS will be given in costume.
In speaking of Mr.. BATHS
work the Waukegan Daily Sun
says:
"World Of fancy made reality !.
Books and people come to life.
Like turning over the leaves of
a we'll loved and finely illustrated
book were the Dickens imper-
sonations given last night at
the Christ Church Parish House.
Mr.. BATHS is master of make
up in all it's branches. Under
the glare Of the incandescent he
made up in full view of the au-
dience, and in spite Of this the
transition from BATHS to one of
the Dickens world amazes and
delights. His every entrance
was a study in the craft of the
people who blink in the foot
lights, and with the finish Of the
process of making up BATHS
seemed lost in the character he
sought to portray. He did not
impersonate-he wasp'
