REPORT ON MARSHALL'S DAY;
LAY PLANS FOR FUTURE.

The business men met at the Com
mercial Club Monday evening to dis
cuss the advisability of starting a
Business Mems Bargain Day for Red
wood Falls. A delegation from here
attended Marshalls Bargain Day last
Wednesday and reports were made by
these visitors of the good and bad
features of such a day and discussion
followed these reports. The good fea-
lures very much outweighed the weak
ones and the business men as whole
are enthusiastic over the plan. The
attendance at the meeting was very
representative.
II. NJ. Aune was made temporary
chairman of the Monday evening
meeting and Fred Orth, secretary.
The chairman appointed two COM
nlittees to work until the next meet
ing which will be held in the Club
rooms tonight wednesday,. +: g..
Hubbard, E. Henschke and Fred Orth
were appointed to ascertain the sentl-
ment of the business men on this pro-
position and G.. F. Gales, NJ. A..
Ebright, C. A. Hillig, ]. R. Keefe and
c. A. Luscher to draft articles of
agreement. Both committees were
at work Tuesday and will report to-
night
If such an association is formed, as
it seems very likely to be, it is planned
to hold these Bargain Days the second
Wednesday in each month and every
business man in the city will be asked
to cooperate.

Special Election
Called for May Il.
VOTERS WILL VOTE ON BONDS
FOR PART OF ORNAMENTAL
LIGHTING EQUIPMENT.

A resolution passed by the City
Council in session Monday evening
calls for special election on Thurs
day, May IL. The question on which
the citizens will be asked to vote is
Shall the city of Redwood Falls, Min
nesota, issue negotiable coupon bonds
in the sum of Eight Thousand Dollars,
said bonds to bear interest at rate
not exceeding six per cent per annum,
payable semi-annually, and the prin-
cipal of said bonds to be paid within
ten years from the date thereof; said
bonds being for the purpose of paying
a portion of the cost of constructing
an ornamental street lighting system
in said City in accordance with the
plans and specifications therefor now
on file in the office of said Recorder of
said City," The resolution entire, with
the regular notice Of the election, is
published in this issue of the Gazette
The majority of the property owners
on the streets upon which it is propos-
ed to place the White Way has signed
petition stating that they will pay
for the ornamental posts, by paying
an assessment according to the numb
0I VI lctG- lIOLCdSc Ol tuclI pIOpcIIy.
This leaves the expense of the. under
ground wiring, and the other details
of equipment, for the city to pay for
as it is extremely desirable that the
City own this equipment which will
play an important part in the future
extension of the lighting system and
also give the city future control of this
part of the lighting system should it
ever become desirable to exercise that
control.
There has been for a long period,
distinct demand on the part of many
of our citizens for ornamental lights
in the business section. Now is the
opportune time to place these lights
and do the necessary underground
work, thus avoiding the necessity of
tearing up the pavement after it is
laid, as the future installation of these
lights would require. Sentiment ap-
proving these lights is becoming more
and more evident every day and there
is little doubt but that the bonds will
carry.

MOOnshine Causes
Death.

Moonshine registered it's first death
in Cottonwood county Sunday when
Ed. Conway of Jeffers succumbed to
the stuff which he had indulged in too
freely, says the Window Citizen.
Monday morning Coroner Sogge,
Sheriff Peterson and County Attorney
Finstad were called to Jeffers to in
vestigate the death of Conway, which
occurred Sunday. It was found that
Conway had obtained a supply of the
poisonous stuff out in the country,
though, like all other instances, no.
body knew where it came from. I'm
doubtedly it grew on a bush some
where. With the supply Of firewater
Conway and party of Jeffersites en-
gagged in a card game and drinking
bout in rooms of a brick store, on the
second floor, in Jeffers. It brought
out that the game, which was at first
said to be "smear" was in reality pok-
er, and that between this and drink
ing the night was amerrily spent. All
of the party we're pretty much under
the influence of the booze, so much so
that they hardly knew whether Con-
way was sick or not, although one OF
the men said he asked the deceased
if a doctor should be called, only to
informed no. Be that as it may, Con-
way is dead, and several others were
mighty sick.
One of the party was placed under
arrest and brought to Window and
lodged in the county Jail, and will be
arraigned later.
A coroner's jury was empaneled
and evidence taken in the case. The
stories given by the witnesses at first
did not tally as to what had been
done, but enough was brought one to
show that the party was a poker one,
and that considerable moonshine was
disposed of in the doings. The jury's
verdict was that the deceased came to
his death as the result of drinking
Intoxicating liquor.
Conway was a man about fifty-five
years of age and had been about JEFF
fers for some time. His mother is
said to have resided in Chicago.
