A FLORISTS FAKE.
The Story Of tho "Blanket of FlOwers'' on
Mrs. Astors Grave an Invention.

The Story Of tho "Blanket of Flowers" on
Mrs. Astors Grave an Invention.
Many women have visited Trinity
cemetery, One Hundred and Fifty fifth
street and Amsterdam avenue, in the
past few days to see the marvellous
"blanket Of flowers" which was said to
"cover the casket" of Mrs. William
Waldorf Astor, and which was to be
renewed every morning for year. by
Mr.. Astor's order. Mrs. Astor was bur-
led on Jan. 9, not in vault. but in a
grave, in the northwestern corner of
the Aston plot. On the day of the funeral
the mound Of earth was covered with
pine boughs. The evergreens have not
been removed, and except at one corner,
which has been uncovered by inquisitive
visitors, the grass is covered with snow.
The laborers in the cemetery have swept
q path through the burial plot, and
about the grave path has been trodden
by men and women.
The cemetery employees have grown
very tired of having their word doubted

FACTS.

In the Argus OF 18th OF Feb,
1895, we find that it was howl
ing against the people in school
district No. 63, for doing what
they thought to he right.
The Argus snecred at the reso-
buttons passed, at meeting held
III the said district, on the date
stated, because they did not in
clude what Birch preached.
Not only this, but Mr.. C. \.
Birch accuses our Co. Supt. and
biames him for being the Trainer
OF these resolutions. Now how
does the Argus know about this?
| hope that the Argus in the fu-
ture will stop with it's manufac-
turing of gotten up nothing
news. The truth is that our Co.
Supt. had nothing to do with
the resolutions.
4 committee on resolutions
was chosen, and they framed
them at the meeting and they
were adopted.
The Argus wise maxim used to
lie LET the people see both
sides of things and let them
Judge for themselves but the
Editor instead of following this
noble thing, simply throws the
resolutions sent to him for pub
fishing, into the waste basket
and then begins to howl.
Now if these resolutions were
such an obnoxious matter, why
don't the Argus publish them
and let the people see what is in
them.
That C. A. Birch is against our
County Supt. of schools for put
ting his shoulder and strength
with the common schools is nat
ural, but we demand same rights
for e. pupil of our common
schools rs those of the high
schools. and when we see that q
pupil of the former school works
hard in order to come up to a
standard, and comes out as
gloriously as the pupil Of the lat.
ter in the branches taught in on,
common schools, why then not
LIT him have the use of the hivh
school State examination? VIZ
did not mean t. solve the qupS
ton in regard to the said higl
school examinations, but we he
lieve III equal rights to all, spe,:
ial privileges to none. For this
!, we passed the resolutions, wish
, ing to have this system of exam
inatiOn extended to the whole
State. Now, Birch. let us hav,
our rights and we'll he silent
and not before.
Yours,

0URGREEN LAKE SUMMER RESORT

1t is we'll known but sometimes
forgotten by parties who ought
to remember it, that kandiyohi
20. contains the most wonderful
summer resort west of Minneton-
XII. The stretch ofcountry around
and between Spicer and New Lon
don will some day in the not dis
tant future rank as the great
summer resort OF central Mime
sofa. To the west and south OF
us stretches for hundreds and
hundreds of miles the almost un.
broken solitude of monotonous
plains. You may travel for days
and days over the prairies of
Southwestern Minnesota and the
Dakotas. and further south
through Nebraska and Kansas,
and not a lake worthy Of the
name, nor sign of native forest
greet your straining eye, or re-
lieve the tiresome monotony.
Few people can stand this prairie
monotony very long. They soon
develop an irresistible desire to
go to some place where they can
feast their eyes on natural seen
cry, on beautiful lakes and forest
clad hills. Hence we zee the
dwellers Of the plains come here
in the summer time and enjoy our
beautiful natural scenery. Our
Green Lake summer resort is just
beginning to he properly appre-
ciated. But Willmar Tribune be-
lieves that a little effort rightly
expended could bring one hun
dred times the number Of visitors
that come here now. An effort
ought to be made to make Green
Lake a picnic place for some Of
our State or National societies.
How would it lie for the Spicer
and New London people, and
others interested in developing
Green Lake as a summer resort,
to organize some society or cor
poration to work for this object.
Willmar Tribune stands ready to
second some such move if taken
in hand by the proper parties.
Why not do something now SO as
to boom the lake next season.

STATE CAPITOL.

1t will remain at St. Paul.
The senate so decided last Fri
day by q vote of Al to II. The
law now stands substantially as
it did at last sessions close. The
tees to architects were left for
decision by the commission. The
bids OF Minneapolis for the site
were s. imply so much buster, to
compel the: St. Paul delegation
to agree to a large appropria-
ton to the University. It is re-
ported that Duluth gets a Normal
school in the same deal. One
thing is certain, the two biz
cities, with a few smaller ones
with State institutions, practi-
cally parcel out the revenue of
the State as they please. The
rest of the State is not in it.

ordered to the cremator they would help
themselves before it was hauled away.
Some Of the boys would eat two dozen
frozen oranges at sitting, or standing,
rather, and the feat did not seem to
harm them in the slightest. Some Of
the bootblacks and newsboys made q

The editor of Willmar Tribune
made short visit to Belgrade
last week. Taking into consider
alton the dull times there was
lots of people in town and quite
a hustle. The mill is running 1T
full capacit yscontinualIy, and is
a graphicxAlustration Of how ii.
wide-awaka and energetic firm
can build up a flourishing bust
ness even during hard times.
The irrepressiblr T. J. was SO
busy in tendingSto the Farmers
Union Cash StoreVthat our usual
politico-economic discussion with
him when up there;S had to- be
postponed to anothertime. Our
old friends Hamper Bf9s.' were
so busy counting eggs and weigh
ing butter, that we came 10 the
conclusion that the farmers up
around there must be doingsome
diversified farming. The latter
firm has built up an extensive
trade Of late years. We even
noticed in their store customers
from the western part of the
town of Norway Lake. We also
met the genial Bro. Campbell,
doctor and editor of "The Sum-"
and inspected the sanctum where
The Sun rises and sets every
week. Bro. Campbell inquired
about that Argus-eyed sourmash
down in Willmar who was max
ing faces at dOctOr-editOrs. We
informed him that no one paid
any attention to what the Will
mar Argus said; that the fault
finding disposition OF the Argus
editor was undoubtedly due to a
constitutional idiosyncracy for
which he was hard y accountable.
Bro. Campbell is a strong Repub-
lican, but he is Il gentleman, and
philosopher enough to realize
that radical reform in our
national affairs is necessary in
the near future.
Everybody spoke words OF
praise of the WilImstr Tribune
and q number OF new subscribers
was added to our list.

The Argus Menagerie that went
up in the cyclone two weeks ago
came down last week in the form
and siniIitude Of fine mud at the
devoted heads Of the Tribune edi-
tors, pretty good proof that the
latter are doing their duty to hui
manity in general, and kandiyo-
hi county in particular. Indeed,
to be assailed by such classical
writer's as Birch and his Pennocl:
correspondent, and such legal
ability as Hazelton, proves that
we are no small potatoes. H.
deed we are not, brethren. Why,
to he attacked by this trio is
equivalent to a certificate of re-
Spectabiity. We doubtnot that
st. Peter will admit any person
who can prove that these three
characters opposed him in life.
The success OF the Tribune is now
assured.
The Willmar Tribune is the
name OF a new paper, the initial
number OF which was issued last
Tuesday, FEBRUARY 10. 1t is ed
tied by DR.. johnson OF New Lon
don, who ran for the legislature
on the Peoples party ticket last
fall and was beaten only 20
votes by Henry Feig. The pa
per will support tile Peoples
party, and as that party cast
over 1900 votes in kandiyohi
county last fall, it ought to
start out with a large subsc1'ip-
ton list. DR.. johnson is all in
cisive and logical writer, and he
will give his competitors a hus-
tie in that direction. The fist
number is we'll edited, neatly

The Business situation.

Business improvement during the
last week has made gradual but steady
progress. Speculation has been less ac.
tive in )me departments, as a natural
sequence of the big business and sub
stantial advances in prices noted last
week. But aside from the partial reac
ton in oil, there has been no weakening
of values in any OF the markets, and the
general average of prices is higher than
it was a week ago Foreign investment
in stocks and bonds has continued, and
fer the week has reached al estimated
aggregate of $6,0O0,0 00 which has been
supplemented by increased purchases of
breadstuffs. The tendency toward more
prosperous business conditions in this
country ls evidently regarded with con-
fidence by European capitalists, Who
have begun to buy back again many of
the securities which had been returned
TO the United States during the period
of Oppression.
Industrial recovery is attested by the
concession of higher wages in many
manufacturing establishments and by
strikes IN others, which indicate the be.
lief among operatives that the condition
Of trade iusti6es an attempt to secure
better returns for their labor. The
westbound tonnage of railroads is very
large; but farm work and decreased
grain and cotton reserves at interior
points and the resumption of lake navi-
CATION tend to lessen the rail shipments
TO the seaboard.
Cotton prices have been well main.
tanned; but there has been no further
advance. Receipts continue liberal for
the season; but there is fair foreign
demand, and the weekly takings of home
summers exceed those of the correspond
ing season last year. There has been
fair business but no decided activity in

period laet wear. Wooden goods mills
are actively employed; but new business
is mainly in dress fabrics, as the mems
wear trade is in the between seasons
stage,
la the iron trade a slight weakening
Of prices is noted on Bessemer pig and
steel billets; but Southern iron has adj
vanced % cents per ton, and the general
position of values appears to be slowly
gaining strength. There has been a
fair husiness in both crude and finished
products; but transactions as rule have
reflected the near requirements of con-
sumers, who hesitate to place large or
ders until better satisfied that the
stiffen;ng Of values is to be permanent.
There is a good demand for boots and
shoes at recent advances of y to 10
cents, which manuf acturers claim is not
enough to cover the increased cost of
production consequent upon the rise IN
the prices of hides and leather There
has been a further advance of thi ee
cents per bushel in wheat prices, which
has brought the general level of values
6 to 7 cents above the point at which
the present bull speculation began about
a fortnight ago The strength is attrib-
utable to several influences which have
encouraged bullish sentiment in and out
of the grain trade. The rise in values
of cotton and other products, the partial
exhaustion of wheat stocks at winter
wheat milling oints in the interior, mn
easiness concerning crop conditions and
an improved foreign demand have all
had a stimulating effect on the markets.
Advances of l to II cents per bushel in
corn prices reflect to some extent the In
huence of the wheat trade revival; but
the rise is also due IN part to the mod
crate interior movement, gradually de-
creasing stocks and a well-sustained de-
mand for export. There has been no
activity in the speculation in hog pro-
ducts, and demand for home consump-
tioa and export has been comparatively
moderate. Values of provisions show
no important net change for the week.
