Bandits Flee as Troops
Take Positions; u. S.
Legation Abandoned.
Continued From Page One)

Italians was accompanied by $4,000
African Askaris who had been en-
camped on the heights dominating
Adds Ababa for the last 40 hours.
The Italians took up their posi-
tons in the center of town and the
natives, including bandits and loot
ers, stampeded out of the city Some
tried unsuccessfully to take refuge
in the legation compounds, which
they have been attacking.
Barton flashed word earlier to-
day that the American legation
had been evacuated, and its De-
sieged garrison removed to the
safety of the fortified British le-
cation compound.
A detachment of his tough Sikh
troops were defending the Belgian
legation after repelling two fierce
attacks on it, ne reported.
United States legation safely
evacuated this morning." Barton
radioed the foreign Office.
From the seven words of his mes
sage, the foreign Office read that
Cornelius Van H. Engert, American
minister, his wife, his crew of four
Navy wireless men, his little staff,
and handful of refugees had left
the legation with flying colors, the
legation documents and valuables
safe.
For four days they had stood siege
by drunken, enraged warriors in the
city's most dangerous quarter, hop
ing until the last that the long
delayed Italian column would arrive.
The American legation was evacu-
ated only when Engert felt it alb
solutely necessary. He sent wom-
en- and children, except his wife,
to the British legation Sunday
night, but remained with the men.
An unconfrmed report said the
japanese legation also had been at
tackled.
Bingham Calls Washington
To the last Mr.. Engert resisted
the almost flat orders of Secre-
tary Cordell Hull to abandon the
United States legation, pleading that
he could hold out.
But today, the fifth day on which
the Italian entry had been expected.
1t was indicated that Engert be-
lieved he was no longer justified in
risking the lives of those with him.
He had few ill-assorted weapons
and a small supply OF ammunition
to withstand the attacks of bandits.
Almost at the same time that the
Foreign Office received Bartons
dispatch, Paul Bodard, French
Minister at Adds Ababa, advised
the Quai DOrsay that Ras Hailu.
Governor of GOTHAM Province, ar
rived in Adds Ababa last night and
gave battle to the bandits still
roaming the streets.
He had only $50 men, Bodard
reported, but they were we'll dis
ciplined and, fighting the bandits
in organized manner, arrested hun
dreds of them and relieved pres
sure on the legations.

X business picture as set forth in the
Bureau of Census report published last
week in The Gazette, is one of which all resi-
dents of the city and neighboring communi-
ty can take pride. 1t indicates not only an
aggressive group of business firms within
the city but prosperous community outside
it.
It is no time, however, to rest upon
laurels won for the retail scene changes
rapidly. Redwood Falls could make progress
by attracting industries to increase it's popu-
lation, thereby enlarging it's market. If
possible such industries should require spe-
cial crops which can be raised at bigger pro-
fits than general farm produce.
Working through the newspapers as
natural and economical medium, merchants
should consider more community events of
a merchandising nature and planned far
enough in advance to enable stores to offer
really exceptional bargains. This must be in
addition to consistent week to week adver-
tising which experience has proved to be
highly successful.

Not Scout Fun

A T HUTCHINSON "secret order" of
~ youths was uncovered recently and the
responsibility fixed upon members for
an epidemic of vandalism which has cost the
city hundreds of dollars in broken white way
globes, street lights and insulators. A GER
tain proficiency in breaking such objects,
scored on a point basis, was necessary for in
itiation into the order
It is almost a safe wager that no Boy
Scouts are mixed up in these escapades.
Scouts are too busy with worthwhile things
and too well guided by good leaders to be-
come involved in raids on public property
with any notion that such depredations are
fun.
The donation which we most enjoy MAX
ing because we feel it returns the most for
the amount spent is the annual contribution
to the Boy Scout fund.

best in all our lives.

best in all our lives.
We therefore start with a clear
slate. The mistakes, disappoint-
ments, failures and fears Of 1896
are gone forever. Rubbed out by
the Eraser of Time. They are OF
the past. The clouds Of yesterday
are dissipated by the appearance
of the rosy hues Of tomorrow, yes
terday's misfortunes and failures
vanish in the bright sunshine of
opportunity. This is today. The
open door of unlimited poSsibili-
ties and unstinted happiness stand
afar and it is our privilege to en-
ter and possess our full share of
these blessings.
Leaving behind the shaclxles of
yesterday placing our faith in an
all wise God, we can move up-
ward toward our objective Of self
respecting citizenship.
"a clean slate" This is life's
yearly gift to Mankind new year
to use unmortgaged by the failure
of the past.
Into this year we bring our
hopes, our ambitions, our new
resolutions and our OBLIGATIONS.
Yes, our obligations to others and
our obligations to ourselves. Time
can wash away everything else
but obligations. These we must
erase ourselves by meeting them
SQuarely and manfully.
Obligations and opportunity we
have with us always. They are
twin blessings which we can nei-
ther evade or avoid. They are in
Separable and inevitable. .Obliga-
tionS strengthen and inspire us to
utilize opportunity and opportun-
ity enables us to meet our obliga-
tions. To be without OBLIGATIONS
is to be unappreciative Of oppor-
tunity and to be without oppor-
tunity is to be unprepared for OBJ
legations. So these twins travel
together on Life's Highway and It
is our privilege and duty to meet
and greet each, if our existence
is to be productive of good to the
world in which we are privileged
to live.
So we bring the obligations of
1886 to the opportunities of 1887
and greet the twain with new res
olutions, new courage, new am
bitionS and new hopes.
Through the mercy Of God, the
year 1887 is ours. 1t is the unpre-
JUDGED field upon which we may
try our new resolutions and our
new plans. It is the foundation
upon which we may draw our
new opportunities. The year 1887
is ours to use and to utilize. It re-
hashes nothing of the past, denies
nothing Of the future and offers
everything for the present.

Everybody's Health

The principal cause Of accident
al deaths in babies under one year
is mechanical suffocation.
Members of the Minnesota State
Medical association call attention
to a recent study by the United
States Public Health Service as a
warning to parents.
Deaths from suffocation occur
most frequently when the tenden-
cy is to cover babies too closely.
A few are caused by unusual ac-
cidents such as cave-ins or falling
earth; and few still occur as the
result Of overlaying in bed by
some sleeping adult. The latter
are less frequently reported than
formerly because nowadays most
babies have their own beds.
A warm all-over sleeping suit
with feet and, If necessary, hands
covered, is recommended by the
physicians. Then outer bed COW
ers need not be so heavy or so
closely wrapped around the child.
All covers should be firmly fas-
tened at the foot and at the sides
so that the baby cannot pull them
out and become entangled in
them.

We are standing on the thresh-
old of the year 1887. Back of us,
tucked away in the casket Of
memory are the joys and sorrows,
fortunes and misfortunes, profits
and losses of the year 1886. Many
will no doubt undertake to place
much blame upon the old year for
their lack of good fortune but
when we sit down quietly and re-
view the matter fairly we can
easily find much more for which
to be thankful than our imperfect
lives deserve. However that is all

The Real Menace

A MERICA'S highway experts, at re-
n cent assembly in San Francisco, came
to some very sensible conclusions on
automobile accidents and what can be done
to reduce their heavy toll of deaths.
One such conclusion was that while
safety devices, better engineering and road
construction have contributed much toward
accident control, no feat of highway build
ing can make roads safe while dangerous
drivers careen down them.
Enlarging on this theme, experts set
forth that some drivers methods can be I'M
proved by education but that the only pro-
lection the public can hope for from others
is to eliminate them. The habitually reck-
less, incompetent car operator must be ban
ned from the highways with more stringent
drivers license regulations and extension OF
road patrols.
1t is we'll known fact that some drivers
are refused automobile insurance, even at
high rates, because they are universally re-
cognized as poor risks. Their frequent acci-
dents, however, have previously been no con-
Germ of the state which licenses them and
sends them merrily on their way.
In the motoring Utopia which such
drivers are gradually making inevitable,
possession of drivers license will be gained
only after rigid examination as to the driv-
er's ability to handle car and to assume re-
sponsibility in case he is in an accident.
Records will be kept of accidents and the
habitual fender buster will be forced to walk
or ride with mo- careful friends.
