parently were maintaining safe leads
over their opponents.
The one race remaining in doubt
was in the third congressional dis
trict where Congressman Williamson,
Republican, led George Phillips, Dem
ocrat, by nearly 800 votes.
Repeal of the law prohibiting Sunday
amusements and abolishing of the of

preme court decided today in affirming
a lower court award eff $4,000 to Mrs.

New York City-Swept before
a rising tide of Democratic vic
tories in many states, the tre-
mendous Republican majorities pill
ed up in the Harding landslide
of two years ago, were knocked
right and left in yesterdays
elections.
The Republican majority in the
United States Senate and in the
House of Representatives were
sharply reduced, but Republican
managers declared they would not
be wiped out.
At noon today, eastern time,
twenty-five states had completed
their congressional returns, but
neither Republicans nor Demo
Gratis had progressed much furth-
er toward control of the House
of representatives. The vote at
that hour stood:
Republicans, 1856; Democrats,
1877; Socialists, 1 mapority to
control is 218.
Iowa was the only state which
has returned solid Republican
delegation.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Re-
h'icer af5PaipisArstian leader, in
the SeSats sqleezed through in
MASSACHUSETTS with a plurality of
1,S45 sY9te. in nearly a million
votes cast, and friends of Colonel
CASTOR, his Democratic opponent,
were talking of asking for a re-
count.
Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey,
New York, Michigan and West Vir-
ginia, Democratic senators re-
placing Republicans and either

Republicans had an assured sena-

Ohio, although today's returns
showed Senator Pomerene, Demo
crat, cutting down the lead of
his Republican opponent, Repre-
sentative Fess.
Not a single Republican gain
in the House of Representatives
had appeared today to count
against the inroads the Democrats
made in every state. Various
causes ranging from prohibition
to tariff were being brought for
ward as responsible for results.

New York City Democratic gains in
the national elections continued to
pile up steadily as belated returns
came in from all parts of the country
today. Through the night Democratic
gains in the House of Representatives
accumulated without counter gain for
the Republicans in single congress
sional district. The great majority
rolled up for the Republicans in the
Harding landslide of two years ago
was gnawed into by the Democrats in
districts in all debatable states until
there seemed chance that it virtually
might be wiped out or at east reduced
to a slender working force for the adj
ministration. Some important figures
in the Republican administration went
down to defeat and some members of
the Senate and House pesonally close
to President Harding will return
to private life with the rising Demo-
cratic tide.
The Republican forces failed to
break into the Democratic ranks in
the south and lost one congressional
district which they have held there
for years-the 9th Virginia. Speaker
Gillett was reelected; Uncle Joe Cam
non passed on his seat from Illinois
to Republican. Miss Alice Robert
son, Republican of Oklahoma, TIE only
woman in Congress, was beaten by a
man, the Democrat whom she defeated
two years ago and the present House
got an additional woman member, a
Republican, in Mrs. Winnifred iHuek,

Wednesday Night
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ENTER
TAINERS TO PRESENT ORIGIN
AL PROGRAM SPECIAL STAGE
LIGHTS AND SETTINGS.

What promises to be one of the
most satisfactory entertainments of
the entire winter lyceum course will
be presented at the Armory, Wednes-
day evening, December 20, by the
Barnaby Entertainers.
The evenings entertainment will
be unusual in that the Barnabys are
the only company on the lyceum
circuit carrying a complete system OF
stage lighting and settings, and pre-
senting a varied entertainment all of
which is original and copyrighted
It assures brand new quantity of en-
tertaining material. y. s.-...E
The program will introduce one act
plays, songologues, character studies
monologues, costume sketches, novel
ty pictures, lightning sketches, comedy
cartoons and several surprise num-
bers."
The Barnaby Entertainers is nu-
merically a small company, consist
ing of Mr.. and Mrs. Paul J. Barnaby,
They have been in lyceum and chau-
tauqua work for more than ten years,
and no attractions, large Or small
stays on the platform that long unless
it is extraordinarily good. The
Barnabys are that.
1t is to be hoped that a crowded
house will greet them. No one can
afford to remain away from this splen-
did entertainment. This is the second
number of the present Lecture Course
season and every resident of Redwood
Falls should support it.
The Redwood gazette., 1922-12-20

Indian lore claims from long obser-
walton that a white Buffalo is produced
in seventy-five years there has been
but three known to have existed up
to-date. At this season of the year it
has been noticed the herd grows rest
less, no doubt they sense the on-com-
ly thirty-two head broke out and were
found 80 miles away; all but one were
brought back to the ranch. The an
nual spring combat for supremacy and
head of the herd brings to mind hu-
man characteristics. The victor of a
battle between the bulls, which is ter
rife, results in the isolation of the
defeated one which everafter is seen
grazing alone and never again returns
to mingle with the herd. A sad pic
ture to contemplate.
Those who have seen the painting
of the cow boy artist Chaskussell en-
titled "The Passing of the Buffalo"
may feel, in measure the passing of
the Buffalo is safe guarded by such
worthy consideration as is shown at
the "Scotty Phillip" ranch propagat-
ing their number, only killing suffci-
ent Buffalo to retain the proper STAN
dard to sustain ample needs for a
strong healthy herd "
AS the years go by and the Buffalo
becomes scarcer, there still remains
the epicurian who delights in a novel
menu, thus the market now and then
affords the chance to satisfy this de-
sire; while the prospective purchaser
of the carcass no doubt anticipates the
use of the hide for an overcoat or a
robe and the head mounted for lodge
or office.
We cannot close this article without
alluding to our very gracious hosts
Mr.. and Mrs. A. II. Leonard, also the
courtesies extended by Stanley and
Roderick Phillip and Joe Depner who
so largely contributed to this unusual
privilege and entertainment. Our
visit to Fort Pierre and the famous
"Scotty" Phillip ranch with its 1000
head of noble beasts will long linger
in my memory. We hope to see Red
wood Falls possess at no distant day
two or more of those stately animals
to keep company with our lonesome,
little Buffalo in Ramsey State Park,
which We citizens, in measure, should
keep interesting and beautiful for our
children and those who come within
our gates to enjoy Minnesota's Minia-
ture Yellow Stone.

battle royal. Redwood has been work
ing hard for the past three weeks

Oliver Leavens

Oliver Leavens passed away at his
home here last Thursday, at about
twelve o'clock. Death came suddenly
while Mr.. Leavens was sitting in his
chair conversing with the members of
his family. While the deceased had
been confined to his home for the
past several weeks he had not been
bedridden and was at all times able
to be with his family and to meet his
friends when they called on him.

erton, John Lauterbach, NJ o. Byram

Mr.. Leavens was born in Waterford,
Wisconsin in November seyenty-seven
years ago. For many years during
his early manhood he travelled great
deal covering practically all the west
ern states then open for travel and
spending much time in the south and
east also. At the time Of the assassi-
nation of President Lincoln he was in
Baltimore and Immediately went to
Washington and always retained a
vivid picture Of the happenings of
that time. During all his travels
however he always returned to his
home in Redwood Falls where he came
fifty-seven years ago, walking here
from Waseca and carrying his pack.
His first meal in this community was
eaten with A. A. Wilson at his home
east of Redwood Falls.
In May 1887 Mr.. Leavens was mar
ried to Ida May Cuff of Redwood
Falls. His wife and eight children
survive his death. The daughters are
Mrs. Abbie Robbins, Mrs. T. Wolver-
ton, Mrs. Walter Wolverton, and Miss
es Mona and Caroline Leavens of Red
wood Falls and Mrs. Martin Voeltz of
Glendale. His two sons are Ralph of
st. Faul and Willard of Redwood Falls.
Mr.. Leavens was a man of excel
lent education and his mind and in
terest remained keen up to the very
moment of his death. For many years
he was the possessor of a large acer-
age of Redwood County land and
devoted his time and energy to look
ing after his interests. Following the
loss of considerable of his property he
led a life of retirement, the last few
years having been greatly incapacitat-
ed for active work by illness. He pos
sessed the sterling qualities of honesty
and integrity and is sincerely mourned
by his wife and children.
